A GREAT TEMPLE.
Eclipsing All Others to Be Built in
CHICAGO

Chicago, Aug. PA temple that will
rival any other in the world is to be
built in Chicago if plans now under
consideration by the various Methodist
church officials in this city are matured
and executed. The edifice will be the
home of the consolidated churches under
institutional rule, and. if reports prove
correct, the presiding ecclesiastic will be
DR.. Camden M. Cobern, of Denver.
DR.. Cobern, who is pastor of Trinity
church in the Colorado city, was inter
viewed in Denver, but would say nothing
beyond asserting that the matter had
not reached a point where he could talk.
Presiding Elder Jackson said:
Il will not say that DR.. Cobern has
been approached in regard to the insti-
tutional church pastorate. I can say
little about the plan At present we are
somewhat in the dark as regards what
we can do. We have too much money
to obtain to talk now"
