George B. Wallace in the Journal of Discourses

His one sermon in the series, and what it covers.

One sermon by George B. Wallace appears in the Journal of Discourses, in volume 2 (1855).

In his own words

The table below says what his one sermon covers. This is what it sounded like.

Righteous and merciful God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, we consecrate and dedicate this Stone unto thee, even the Northwest Corner Stone, which we have laid as part of the foundation of a Temple to be built unto thy great and holy name. We pray thee, O God, to accept this offering from our hands; and may thy peace and blessing be and abide here, that this spot of ground may be holy unto thee, and never be polluted by those who are unholy, or by any unclean thing.

George B. Wallace, Prayer, Journal of Discourses, Volume 2

What the sermon covers

Indexed subjects, in order of how often they appear: High Council, Temple Ordinances, Celestial Kingdom, Salt Lake Temple, Angels, Missionary Work, Priesthood, Temple Cornerstone, High Priests Quorum, Temple Dedication, Holy Ghost, Northwest Cornerstone.

Where it sits

Volume 2 (1855) holds 56 sermons by 15 speakers, of which 1 is his. Brigham Young carries that volume with 17.

The Journal is overwhelmingly the work of a dozen men. The speakers who appear once or twice are the reason the series is worth indexing in full: they are printed at the same length and with the same care as the presidencies, and almost nowhere else.

Every sermon, in order
