The Gift to Those Who Enter The Temple.


David B. Haight

"John A. Widtsoe wrote: 'I believe that the busy person on the farm, in the shop, in the office, or in the household, who has his worries and troubles, can solve his problems better and more quickly in the house of the Lord than anywhere else. If he will . . . [do] the temple work for himself and for his dead, he will confer a mighty blessing upon those who have gone before, and . . . a blessing will come to him, for at the most unexpected moments, in or out of the temple will come to him, as a revelation, the solution of the problems that vex his life. That is the gift that comes to those who enter the temple properly.' ("Temple Worship," The Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine, Apr. 1921, pp. 63-64.)"Revelation also comes in receiving greater understanding of the endowment as one seeks to comprehend its meaning."

"Temples and Work Therein," Ensign, Nov. 1990, 61
