[Wilford Woodruff]
I felt to thank God that I had lived on the Earth to once More have the privilege of Dedicating another Temple [Manti] in the Rocky Mountains unto the Most High God And I Pray God my Eternal Father that He will protect the Manti Temple and all other Temples we have built in them unto His Holy Name that they may Never go into the Hands of the Gentiles our Enemies to be defiled by them.
