Pres[ident] [David H.] Cannon * remarked, it was designed to have all [officiators] stick to the [scripted] text and all unwritten parts to be given [acted out] exactly alike in all the temples. He wished there would be no corrections made in the wording by any one, except by those accompanying them in the ceremonies as Eloheim may prompt Jehovah and vice versa, then only in very important errors and in a manner not to give offense or that exception may be taken. [Temple Minute Book, St. George, Oct. 15, 1906]
