A Sanctuary of Service
"Inside the temple...the world is left behind with its clamor and rush. In the house of the Lord there is tranquility. Those who serve here know that they are dealing with matters of eternity. All are dressed in white. Speech is subdued. Thoughts are elevated. This is a sanctuary of service. Most of the work done in this sacred house is performed vicariously in behalf of those who have passed beond the veil of death. I know of no other work to compare with it. It more nearly approaches the vicarious sacrigice of the Son of God in behalf of all mankind than any other work of which I am aware. Thanks is not expected from those who in the world beyond become the beneficiaries of this consecrated service. It it a service of the living in behalf of the dead. It is a service which is of the very essence of selflessness."
