The beautiful fremont Temple, fresh
from the hands OF the builders. Will be
ut home for this great convention. In the
face OF incredible dscouragemsnts its he
roic congregation has held its own In the
heart of the city, and has reared on the
ruins of the old temple a structure that
embodies the true spirit of modern Chris
tianity. The main audience hail will seat
about 5000. Lorimer hail and Chapman
hall 1.200 and 500 respectively. And the
many other facilities-the spacious lunch
