Robert E. Wells
"Verse 31 says: 'Awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy beautiful garments.' Then, 'strengthen thy stakes' follows, and lastly, 'enlarge thy borders forever.' I could clearly see that 'enlarge thy borders' meant to enlarge the Church through missionary work and to proclaim the gospel to all the world. It seemed that I could also see clearly that 'strengthen thy stakes' meant to perfect the Saints through the priesthood organizations and the auxiliaries. And, it seemed to me that 'put on thy beautiful garments' referred to the temple robes and going to the temples of the Lrod to redeem our beloved ancestors."
