by the prophet at the time Of the building OF the
second temple, when the young people rejoiced
and shouted; but the old men who had seen the
first house wept this would be 80 inferior to It,
but the prophet declared that this house would be
more glorious than the former because the desire
OF all nations, the predicted Messiah, would come
into 1t. lie also said, what makes a house OF wor
ship glorious whether superior or inferior In It's con
struction, IL the spirit OF Christ within IT. His
