Heber J. Grant

Temple Work for Our Ancestors is a Privilege

"To my mind, one of the great privileges that we as Latter-day Saints enjoy is that of doing temple work for those of our ancestors who have died without a knowledge of the Gospel. . . . . If you get it into your heart and soul that this is one of the most important things you as Latter-day Saints can do, you will find a way to do it."

(Improvement Era, "On Going to the Temple," August 1941, page 459)
