Northern Calif Here are some "Stand Ye in Holy Places" quotes.
I found them on my InfoBase CD, you know, the kind that has a billion LDS books on it. And
I've only scratched the surface. If you'd like the whole text of any of these I'd be glad
to post that, too. You can find the Harold B. Lee talk on the church website www.lds.org in the Gospel Library Archive.

Colonizing New Frontiers 16
Each time we choose to stand in holy places, we stake our claim as colonizers upon sacred
ground. When we turn from temptation to walk in the paths of righteousness, we forge

24:15). Latter-day revelations provide understanding,_ Elder Wickman said. _They teach
that in our day, amidst strife and catastrophe and pestilence, there are two kingdoms

repeat the injunction to _stand in holy places_ for a refuge from these storms of
latter-day life.

The Great Gatherings: Saved in Sheaves, Burned in Bundles
"Each day we are choosing either the barn or the burning. As we select our
associations for the approaching harvest that will accompany the Lord's return, it will
not be enough to bask in our lighted vessels; eventually we must each climb the high
mountain where, at great length and through great effort, we too will hear and see and
know for ourselves (3 Nephi 11:14-15). To prepare for the harvest, we must gather to stand
in holy places and separate ourselves from the world. In our closets, our secret places,
and our wildernesses, we must come to know Him whom all the world one day shall see. For
in that moment, when every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is the
Lord (Philippians 2:10-11), some knees will need no practice and some lips will recite
words that are willing and familiar. To be gathered into the celestial fold, we must each
depart from Babylon, live worthy of the promises of the promised land, distinguish between
the wheat and the tares, and do all in our power to establish Zion."
