[Apostle John Henry Smith Diary] Salt Lake City
[dedicatory services for the Salt Lake Temple]
The Temple was crowded to Overflowing. Singing.
Prest. Wilford Woodruff called the meeting to order and he offered the Dedicatory prayer. It took 35 minutes.
The shout of hossanna was given with waving of handkerchiefs, Bro. Lorenzo Snow leading. The Salt Lake Choir sang Hossanna, The Spirit of God like a Fire is Burning...
The wind blew the swiftest ever known in this City today. Much damage was done. Some gulls lighted on the Tower of the Temple.
