Wednesday, April 6 : Myself and Ellen witnessed the laying of the comer stones of the foundation of the temple. There were more than five thousand saints present. To see the order and hear the music and see the troops of soldiers with their flags and the large flag floating from the top of the Liberty Pole was truly an imposing sight and a day long to be remembered.
