"No people ever labored harder to prove the above declaration false. No pains were spared; but where has it terminated? Just as we said it would." Here we have the testimony of Sidney Rigdon, who opposed the Twelve and the Church and the building of that Temple. Yet he says they were diligent, but when he says it was not completed, he spoke too soon. This article was written just shortly after the exodus commenced, and at that time the Temple was not quite finished; but it was finished before all the Saints' left Nauvoo. I suppose that it is unnecessary to continue this branch of the subject any further, but since our Church members have to meet the sophistry on the part of the elders of the "Reorganization," we will. NAUVOO TEMPLE COMPLETED. In proof that the Temple was completed I present the following evidence. In the Times and Seasons, volume 6, page 1017, we find the following: "It certainly afforded a holy satisfaction to think that since the 6th of April, 1841, when the first stone was laid, amidst the most straightened circumstances, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has witnessed their bread cast upon waters; or more properly their obedience to the commandments of the Lord appear in the tangible form of a Temple, entirely enclosed, windows in, with temporary floors, pulpits, and seats to accommodate so many persons preparatory to a general conference." And on page 1018: "The font and the other parts of the Temple will be in readiness in a few days to commence the administration of holy ordinances of endowment, for which the faithful have long diligently labored and fervently prayed, desiring above all things to see the beauty of the Lord and inquire in His holy Temple." Now, this was given in October, 1845, and we learn that the font--that is the permanent font, which replaced the former and temporary one--also the other parts of the Temple would be in readiness in a few days to commence the administration of holy ordinances. I wish now to refer to another reference from the writings of the president of the "Reorganization." I have already read where he declares that the font and the first floor above the basement and one stairway, also the basement, were completed. He reaffirms that in the following from an editorial in the Saints' Herald of February 17, 1904: "Work continued to be done on the Temple until the fall of 1845, possibly until the summer of 1846"--you see he is not quite sure about it--"but the building was never finished; and whatever ordinances were performed in it took place in rooms not wholly finished." Now note this particularly: "The north stairway, the second or upper auditorium, and the attic were entirely incompleted." We will now examine the Times and Seasons of January 20, 1846, and see what his testimony is worth. Here on page 1096 occurs the following:
