 ple. And it came to pass that for five hundred pieces of silver was the land bOught. and it lay four square, with broad street called Pennington before 1t, and near to 1t, on the west side another street named Stone. Appointing five men as members of council who should hold the land from the heathen of the surrounding country, and give further ance to the building of Gods house when the right time should come the High Priest again departed for time wherein no more WAS done for the new synagogue in Tucson, but as another sect, called Presbyterians, had built for their worship q house, they generously shared its cOnvenlences with the Metho- dist brethren in the gospel
 Thus endeth the reading Of the First Book. and the Second being like unto the First. beginneth on this wise:
 SECOND BOOK.
 Now, behold when the High Priest Adams had been absent from Tucson for the space of one year and four months, he bethought himself of its temple, and knowing that the full time had ceme for the building thereof, he came again into the land, for, as yet. even the ground on which it was to stand remained unto lch- ed; neither was there sound of hammer or saw in all that time to show that the people were jealous for the glory of Gods house; but in the third month of the first year that James, the great and good" of the house of Garfield, ruled over the land the land the Pigh Priest Adams began to importune the people to give of their substance, and to bring forth tithes of all that they possessed for the building of the temple; for, saith he, the time is now come when the Arm of the Lord shall be revealed in majesty and great power. Generously did they come up to the work, for they perceived that Adams was a zealOus man in the moral vineyard, and enough was pledged to greatly encourage them, for some gave of their silver and gold while others, all of whom had a mind to work, gave what ever they had-sOme the work of theIr hands, others furnished horses and wagons and worked with such readiness that the High Priest, whose knees smote together at the first, because Of the great ness of the undertaking, did find himself borne up by the song of the workers, and he cried out and saith, What hath not the Lord wrought r' Now the fOunda- tiOns of the temple were laid, both broad and deep, of massive stone but the people, not satisfied with building the walls of earth, said lot us buy baked brick for our tabernacle, and the thing pleased them; but, lol there were no brick in all that town, neither place To make 1t thereof. So they formed a kiln and made and baked white brick that their temple might excel In strength and beauty. Now they besOught Baldwin the mason, to build the walls, while Evans and Walker, skilled workmen II wood, did cover the house from the great heat. Fitzpatrick, with great generosity. did bring into the tabernacle the sacred desk from which shall be proclaimed the good tidings of great joy unto many people. The Prince Brothers, princes m nature as well as by name, did give the altar-fit emblem of humility and de- votion. The walls, so smooth and white, were covered by a Workman who needeth not be ashamed. Now, tbat all might be done decently and in order, lamps of great brilliancy. that did excel in deli cacy and beauty of pattern, were given by Otis, who desired that the sanctuary should be provided with every good ani perfect thing.
 But now they didlack seats and tape,- try to cover the floor, and the High Priest Adams called together all the woman and said unto them: Let us make great feast unto many people, that so VIZ may be able to perfect this house ana dedicate it to the service of the Mos, High God. And 1t pleased them exceed ingly-insOmuch that many did work heartily-bOth Jews and Gentiles. And the singers did furnish music, whose silvery and deep-toned strains lifted tue souls of the hearers nearer unto theE God Moreover, the chief wOmen-nOt a few-did bring much fine needlewOrk and embroidery to sell, and were faith ful in whatever their hands found to do. Also the young men and maidens did work with their hands to make the sane tuary basutiful with evergreens, flags and devicss after the manner of their country, and behold 1t was all very good. And yet more was done for the entertain ment of the people, for oratiOns, read- ings and recitatiOns were rendered by such as were endowed with talents for the undertaking, and great was the satis- faction thereof Moreover, Rebecca was found at tine well to give unto the weary and thirsty disciples a cup of cold water. for she knew that in so doing she should not lose her reward.
 Now, small scribe named MOrehouse, from tie land of the "Wolverines,7 was appointed by the High Priest to faith fully commit unto writing all that hath been done by this people, and to read unto them the chronicles of their labors
 And now, behold this fair temple, with its responsibilities and pOssib lities, is ours to neglect or improve, and in that last Great Day, when the Book shall be opened and We appear before the Judge of all may We be among those who shall enter the Temple not made with hands, whose walls Of jasper and precious stones are types of redeemed spirits: whose gates of pearl are never shut; whose streets of gold are watered by the River of Life, and whose trees are for the healing of nations.
 There they need no candle, neither light of the sun or moon. for the Lord God is the light and glory thereof. There shall We hunger no more, neither thirst any more, but the white robes shall be ours, and the new name in the forehead; and we shall go no more out forever from before Him who hath redeemed us unto Himself.
