Excerpt from Timbers for the Temple
Born in the city of Nauvoo, in the Mansion House, close by the Father of Waters, under the shadow of the hill crowned by the ruins ofthe temple, the writer has always found a stirring of the pulse at the very mention of the word Nauvoo; romance, poetry, adventure, religious fervor, sacrifice, tragedy, melancholia - the faces of all these rise before the mind's eye at the soundn of that word. But hope and faith also appear, leading from the blight and ruin of the past, from the irretrievable collapse of high eu terprises, the canker of disappointment, and the cynicism of disillusionment, along a safe and sure road into a future that will materialize all that was sought for and lost by our fathers at Nau voo. If even one reader shall be fortified in his determination to help build the living temple first, a redeemed people the home and habitation of God, that the temple of wood and stone may not be in vain, the labor of love represented by this book will not be lost. Elbert A. Smith. Independence, missouri, October 24, 1922.
