"Great events which shaped the destiny of the church have occurred in this Tabernacle at Temple Square.
"Every president of the church, except Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, has been sustained in solemn assembly in this Tabernacle."
"Here in 1880 the Pearl of Great Price was accepted as one of the standard works of the church. Here also two revelations were added to the Doctrine and Covenants, now known as sections 137 and 138."
"Here the Book of Mormon was given the subtitle, 'Another Testament of Jesus Christ.'
"The Tabernacle Choir, identified by the name of this building, has been a voice of the church."
"The Tabernacle stands in the world as one of the great centers of worthy music and culture. But most of all, it stands as a standard of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ."
"The Tabernacle on Temple Square is 'a house of prayer, a house of faith, a house of glory and a house of God, even (his) house.' Those called to speak or to perform or to present words or music or culture are obligated to present that which is worthy."
"It is not so much what is heard in the sermons but what is felt. The Holy Ghost can confirm to all who come within that influence that the messages are true, that this is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
