HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
"It is plain that a Temple is more than chapel or church…; it is a structure erected as the House of the Lord, sacred to the closest communion between the Lord Himself and the Holy Priesthood, and devoted to the highest and most sacred ordinances characteristic of the age or dispensation to which the particular Temple belongs."
—James E. Talmage
