This is a great talk from General Conference in 1975 on temple work. The brother speaking was the then-driving force behind the church's family history program, Brother Theodore M. Burton, Assistant to the Twelve.
Back then, very little of what we have now was available, and the availability and access we have to our records is unbelievable. Brother Burton would have thought he went to heaven to see what we have now, and yet...more needs to be done and we don't do nearly what we should!
Some things have changed between then and now in terms of focus and expectations, but the one part that stuck out to me was that the dead have no other way but through us doing this work to receive the salvation that is available to them. Anyways, here's the video with a link to the conference talk afterwards.
And here's the link to read the talk:
