Mint, and is known as Metropolitan
Temple. It's appearance inside and out

Kallocb felt greatly incensei; aud at
meeting held on last Friday evening in
his Temple, attended by at least five
thousand persons. he attacked the De
Youngs in most violent speech. and
concluded the evenings discourse in the
following language; They are the
