I was just saying, brethren and sisters (Brother Woolley had finished speaking to the Saints in the Hawaiian language), that this land, the land of Laie, was one of the cities of refuge in olden times and I was telling them that now it is a city of refuge indeed, both to the spirit and body of man. William W. Cluff saw in vision President Young upon this land and talked with him, and President Young told him that “upon this land we will build a Temple unto our God.” Later on when President George Q. Cannon visited here, fifty years after the Gospel had been established, he told us, both at Laie and Honolulu, that the time would come when we would have a house in which to perform the ordinances necessary for the salvation of the living and the dead.
