Theme: A Temple of Learninig

 

A TEMPLE OF LEARNING

On November 12th 1888 the Bannock Stake Academy was dedicated.  Sarah Ann Barnes, one of the Academy’s first two teachers, described her feelings of that day, “A Temple of learning was founded, on the solid rock of Revelation; which later was named The Ricks Academy.  The memory of that day fills my very soul with joy, for it seemed like the angels of God were there.” 

 

President Henry B. Eyring of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said in a recent BYU-Idaho devotional, “That this university and this temple are on a hill in Rexburg is a miracle because God, not man, revealed new designs for each and placed them here together…. The two places of learning fit together in their purposes almost as one….  And they both require a high standard of personal worthiness for the companionship of the Spirit…. The university will likewise encourage a thirst for learning by the Spirit. In concert with the temple, it will build students' confidence that the Spirit can become a constant companion.”
