[Wilford Woodruff]
It has been the rule in [the] Logan Temple not to allow any person who had not been married under the covenant to officiate at the marriage alt[a]r in behalf of the dead. This rule, he said was wrong and must not be acted upon in the future. The reception of the endowment enabled a person to act in behalf of the dead in any of the ordin ances in the house of the Lord, except the highest [second anointing].
