“. . . Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them [our dead] out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free.” (D&C 128: 22)
“. . . Let us, therefore, as a church and a people, and as Latter-day Saints, offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness; and let us present in his holy temple, when it is finished, a book, containing the records of our dead, which shall be worthy of all acceptation.” (D&C 128: 24)
