At the time of the Endowment House in Salt Lake City
The Church
had general requirements or expectations regarding worthiness for individuals
seeking to obtain their endowments. One year after the Endowment House opened,
its director, President Heber C. Kimball, advised the bishop regarding who they
should recommend by letter to come for endowments. His requirements for both
men and women follow:
Pay tithing
from year to year
Pray in your
families
Do not speak
against the authorities of the Church and kingdom of God.
Do not steal
Do not lie
Do not swear
Do not
interfere with the neighbors’ things or spouses,
Respect
presiding officers and bishops
