The Importance of Temples
—————————————————

“Temples have a great effect for good and are increasingly blessing the world. As President George Q. Cannon said: ‘Every foundation stone that is laid for a Temple, and every Temple completed according to the order the Lord has revealed for his holy Priesthood, lessens the power of Satan on the earth, and increases the power of God and Godliness, moves the heavens in mighty power in our behalf, invokes and calls down upon us the blessings of the Eternal Gods, and those who reside in their presence.’ (“The Logan Temple,” Millennial Star, Nov. 12, 1877, 743.)”
