HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
"[T]he spirits of the dead gathered around me, wanting to know why we did not redeem them. Said they, '…We laid the foundation of the government you now enjoy, and we never apostatized from it, but we remained true to it and were faithful to God.' These were the signers of the Declaration of Independence."
—Wilford Woodruff
