Mormon Temple was dedicated to day in the presence efsa throng of believers.. • Thee cap stone was laid April 6th, 1892, at .which - time the date for dedication wai fixed for April 6th, 1893, the 63rd aura, veriary of the organization of the Mormon Church and '40 years from - the day the Temple corner stones were laid. The building is 186it feet long and feet . wide. With the towers, it covers an area of 21,850 equate feet The foundation wail is 16 feet thick .and 16 deep. On this the granite walls are 9 feet thick on the bottom fend narrow to 6 feet ale the equate. The - east pert of. the temple is for the Mel- eltisedeo Priests' Order,. representing the higher or sprituaI Affairs. The weet is for the Aaronic priesthood, repre- sentatives of temporal existence. The figure on the east central tower symbolizes the ,angel named in the 14th chapter and; 6.th• 'verde of St John's revelation. Therej are in the building manz stones symbolical of different 'conditions of mankind. Around . the -base are 'hearthstones. Above these are moonstones, the moon in its various phases, and emblematic of terres- trial glory. • Still higher than • these are sun stones, typical of. the celestial or the higher -. glory of the heavens. There are - also • star stones, representing the glory o the .stars. On the -.west tower is the 'ursa major, pointing to . the polar star, and indicating that there is a fixed guide for fallen mankind to *return to God. Then there de cloud stones and others of like' symbolical nature. The architecture of the building is without a- known - parallel ha ancient or modern -times. The - cost of the building, as near . as cane be . ascertained, will be slightly in excess of $5,000,000. The building is providedwithall the modern appliances for lighting, beating, ventilating and sanitary _arrangements. It is . pated that the Ceremonies will extend over a period of fourteen days, but- the chief interest centred in to -day's proceedings.
