VIEW OF THE TEMPLE. Its Outside Appearance, Dimensions and Use. Tho alto for tho Temple in Salt Lake Olty was selected July 28, 1847, the fifth day after the Mormon ploneora entered Groat Salt Luko valley. Brlsham Young, president of the church, with a number of the apostles, was viewing tho prospect in tho place selected as bis new home, where all Boomed a barren waste, and in passing the southeast ooruor of tho Temple now stands, struck his ctino on.tho grouud and "Hero will be tho Temple of our God!" Tho southeast corner of a ten-acre plat selected as tho Temple block waa mado tho initial point for laying out tho city, and was afterwards adopted by Government officials as the base meridian lino.

Four yours later, at the October ooafor- enoo of tho church In 1S51, vote of tbe people was taken to build "a temple the best materials that can bo obtained In North America." Tho material (selected for tho foundr.tlou was firostouo, from a oafion four miles distant. When the walls canoe to bo built, out granite from Little Cottonwood oaiion, eighteen miles distant, waa ohoson as the most suitable material. Prior to the advent of the railway in 1870, this rock had to bo hauled by ox and mule On February 1S53, ground was broken and 250 men put to. work on the excavation, On tho Gth of April following tho oorncir- atonos were-laid sixteen feet below, the surface of tho-ground. Johnston's army came through in 1858, tho foundation.of the Temple was 'entirely covered over with earth and the people moved south from Suit Lake for a time.

Four years after this work was resumed on the building, aad with. the of two years, 18G8 aud 1SG9, when tha workmen of tho Territory wore mostly employed in constructing the Union Pacific upd other railroads, haii continued without sorlous io- The cnpstone was laid April 1802, at which time the date- for dedication' was fixed for April 0, 1S93, the sixty-third anniversary of the organisation of the Mor- mou Church, and forty years the day the Temple oonier-Btones were laid. DIMENSIONS. The bulldlnf 186K iaet and 99 feet wida. "With the towers, it covers an area of 121,850 square feet.

The foundation wull is 16 feet thick and 16 deep. On this the granite walls are 9 ieet thick on the bottrim, and narrow.to 6 feet at tbe squaro. There are six towera, three on the east and three on the west. The bornbr towers arc 26 feet square at the base. Those on tha euut are 200 feet high, and on the west 104 foot.

The (boil of The only Pure Cream of Tartar Ammonia; No Alum, Used in Millions of Years the Standard, near as can be ascertained, will be slightly in.excess of four million dollars. TLo bollef of tbo Mormcrns, or Lattor-Bay SuUita, as they call themselves, Is that without ordinances arid endow man ts that be glvao only In a Temple, they cannot obtain complete salvatiotj. eodow- njentH are the conferring of certain blessings pertaining to their existence hereafter for those who are living, and also lu bohalf of those who have died without the opportunity of personally receiving In the flesh tho desirable oraioatlons.

This accounts for tha activity und persistency of tho Saints In building temples. Among Temple ordinances a.re the sealing for eternity, by divine authority, of family relationships, as those of husbaad aud wife, arid parents and children; also baptisms and various rites in behalf of thu dead. It is the rule that only those who havo becotuo disciples of Christ and seok to live slue-are Chrlitlau lives will be admitted to temples. They aro places of worship for tboso only who are marnborn of the Mormou Church. which claims to be the church of Christ and the only one on earth existing by Ills authority aud directed by revelation from Him.

They look upon tho Tomple lu Salt Liiko City as the onrj described In tho first two verses of the fourth chapter of Mleah. Tho building ia provided with all tho modern appliances. for lighting, ventilating aud sanitary arrangements, It. Is anticipated that tho oeremonias will extend over i a period of fourteen days, but tbo chief interest centers in tlio proceedings of tho first day, April Oth. Tho Assembly room, in the fourth story, IH tha largest in tbe building, and In this tho services will bo conducted.

It will accommodate about 2500 persons, or 0000 persons at the two sessions to be hold each day. Arrangements have boen perfected to admit, between 00,000 and. 70,000 persons to' tho dodioatory services, and there IH a strong probability, from ofllolal reports now being recelvHd, that oven tho latter number will be exceeded. ORDER OF DEDICATION. The Chief Authorities First, Then the People by Stakes.

The serni-annual conference of tho Mormon Church bottan April 4th. The dodi- oatory ceremonies of tho Tomplo today nod run on to April 18th, Inclusive, Sundays and all, a slego of thirteen days. The programme is to admit about 2150 daily, that being the seating capacity of the mala room of tho Temple. The First Presidency has a public notice of this, the notice designating the ''stakes" of Morraondom whorofrom tho Saints will bo admitted from day to day. Thus, on April Gtb, foreuoon, the higher diguitarios of tho church will alona take part; In tho afternoon, It is announced that 25 will be admitted from the Alborttt ata'ko, British OolurnbJa; 33 from Arizona; 20 from St.

Johns, Arizona; from Murioopa, Arizona; 350 from Bannock, Idaho; 25 from San Juan, Utah; 175 from Cassia, Idaho; 223 from St. Georsce, Utah: 200 from Pangu itch, Utah 240 from Emory. Utah; 100 from Parowan, Utah; 130 from Beavar, Utah; 178 from Uintah, Utah 375 from Malad, Idaho; and tho Salt Lake City Choir, 50; a total of 2146. All these places are applied for, and admission will bo strictly on tickets supplied on the recommendation of tho bishops of tho stakes. stating that tha applicant Is In good has paid all his tithing account, etc, Tho gates through which all may pnss are ppeolfied.

The above list ia but ivsample of the allotment for forenoon and afternoon of tho days. All tho stakes are jroiio through in like nave that in the bigger stakes, larger numbers are allowed. Thus, Salt Lake wets iu on eleven days, to tho number In all of 18,750. The total number to pass in, all days, IB 50,050. It is supposed that the ceremonies from squad to squad, will bo a semi-daily repetition, BO that all ovn GOO tho same things and hear the samo SOURS and discourses.

FINAL DAY OF CONFERENCE. Church Authorities All "Sustained" of the Speakers. The second day's session of the Mormon conference was attended by a crowd even larger than that of Tuesday. Elder Franklin D. Richards was tho first speaker.

Ho said in part: "Adam foil that we might be here and have tabornaolea and tompJes aud possessions. Men are that they might have joy. In our ephere of existence before wo came into this world wo bad no idea that we would havo to suffer tho trials of those times. have soon how miracles have boen performed in these latter days, how people havo been raised from sickoosa and from death through the power of God. We have Been It with our oyoe, heard it with our oars, and handled it with our hands," Brigham Young, followed with a long speech which dealt mainly with tho history of the Mormon Church.

Apostle Snow lu- formed tho Saiuts that politics was as necessary to them as religion und told thorn that it was tholr destiny to become powerful politicians, and powerful Saiuts to rule tlie universal President Wllford Woodruff requested every Saint to offer, up prayer last nlpht, preparatory to entering the Temple to-day, AFTERNOON SESSION.
