President Hinckley rededicates Utah Capitol

Gordon B. Hinckley, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, asked during the dedicatory prayer that the Capitol be protected and be a place where residents can gather.

“This is the official house of the people of the state of Utah,” President Hinckley said. “May it be preserved from the elements of nature. May wisdom dictate all that is said and done here. May the people whose building it is feel free to wander its halls and marble staircases, admiring its resplendent beauty.”

President Hinckley was asked to dedicate the building in a nod to its first dedication in 1916, where LDS President Joseph F. Smith gave the dedicatory prayer.

Thanks, News for Mormons.
