[Wilford Woodruff]
I visited the Temple and went through evry depart[ment] of it from Baptismal font in the Basement to the top of the Roof and it was a glorious sight. The power of God rested upon us. The Temple is nearly finished and will soon be ready for dedication. ... The Stands at the Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthoods were Plain but vary Beautiful. The following are the letters to be placed upon the East Stand:

P.M.P.H President of the Melchizedeck Priesthood

P.S.Z. President of the Stake of Zion

P.H.P.Q. President of the High Priest Quorum

P.E.Q. President of the Elders Quorum

Letters upon the West Stand are

P.A.P. President of the Aaronic Priesthood

P.P.Q. President of the Priest Quorum

P.T.Q. President of the Teachers Quorum

P.D.Q. President of the Deacons Quorum
