>> THE TABERNACLE ON TEMPLE
SQUARE HAS BEEN THE WELL-KNOWN
HOME OF THE MORMON TABERNACLE
CHOIR FOR 150 YEARS.
MILLIONS HAVE ENTERED THESE
WALLS SINCE IT WAS COMPLETED IN
1867, AND MILLIONS MORE WILL
ENTER FOR YEARS TO COME.
THE CHOIR HAS PERFORMED IN THE
GREAT CONCERT HALLS OF THE
WORLD.
BUT WHEN WE RETURN TO THE
TABERNACLE FOR OUR WEEKLY
BROADCAST AND FILL THIS SACRED
SPACE WITH THE JOYFUL SOUNDS
OF MUSIC, WE ARE HOME.
JUST AS PEOPLE HAVE
PERSONALITIES, THIS BUILDING HAS
A PERSONALITY.
LIKE THE PIONEERS WHO BUILT IT,
THE TABERNACLE IS HARDY AND
RESILIENT, YET WARM AND
WELCOMING, VENERABLE WHILE ALSO
TRUE TO ITS HUMBLE ROOTS.
AND EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,
IT RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL PIONEER
CHARACTER.
OTHER THAN SOME SEISMIC AND
TECHNOLOGICAL UPDATES, THE
TABERNACLE'S UNIQUE APPEARANCE,
ITS 19TH-CENTURY CRAFTSMANSHIP,
AND ITS RENOWNED ACOUSTICS HAVE
REMAINED UNCHANGED.
THIS BELOVED COMPANION AND
FRIEND IS TODAY, AS IT WAS 150
YEARS AGO, A PEACEFUL PLACE OF
HISTORY, BEAUTY, WORSHIP, AND
REFUGE.
BUILT BY PIONEER INGENUITY, THE
TABERNACLE WAS MADE SACRED
THROUGH SACRIFICE.
THE STRONG HANDS AND FAITHFUL
HEARTS THAT RAISED THESE WALLS
GAVE THEIR ALL TO BUILD A PLACE
WHERE GOD MIGHT BE GLORIFIED.
THE SALT LAKE VALLEY WAS A
REMOTE WILDERNESS THEN--NOT EVEN
A RAILROAD GRACED ITS BARREN
LANDSCAPE.
SO WHEN MARBLE WAS WANTED BUT
NOT FOUND, WOODEN PILLARS WERE
CAREFULLY PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE
MARBLE COLUMNS.
HARDWOOD WAS HARD TO COME BY, SO
PINE BENCHES WERE PAINSTAKINGLY
PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE OAK.
AND WHEN IT CAME TIME TO
ASSEMBLE THE HUGE ELLIPTICAL
ROOF ATOP THE 44 STONE
BUTTRESSES, THE LATTICEWORK OF
TIMBERS WAS HELD TOGETHER BY
WOODEN PEGS AND RAWHIDE.
SIXTY YEARS AGO, ACCLAIMED
ARCHITECT FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
CALLED THIS NATIONAL HISTORIC
LANDMARK "ONE OF THE
ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECES OF
THE COUNTRY, AND PERHAPS THE
WORLD."
TODAY AS WE CELEBRATE THE 150TH
BIRTHDAY OF THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND
TREASURE, OUR WISH IS THAT THE
TABERNACLE MAY ENJOY MANY MORE
DECADES OF STABILITY, HARMONY,
AND HAPPINESS.
AND OUR HOPE IS THAT ALL WHO
ENTER WITHIN THESE WALLS MAY
FIND GOODWILL, PEACE, AND JOY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR FRIEND.
