"In the spirit world, on the other side, the missionary work has greatly increased; increased tremendously and the membership of the Church over there is increasing. It is imperative, therefore, that we ourselves do something here to match what is being done there. On the other side of the veil the people there can only be prepared for baptism and the saving ordinances, therefore let us take more notice of the genealogical program of the Church." President David O. McKay, (Remarks to General Church Genealogical Committee, 1963). [Quoted in Elder D. Todd Christofferson' talk How Beautiful Thy Temples, Lord]
