The Most Magnificent Temple.


Have you read Of the Tai Mahal, In In.
dia, in some respects the most majestic
building on earth? Twenty thousand
non were 20 years in building it. 1t cost
about $1G,O00,000 The walls are of
marble inlaid with carnelian from Bag
lad and turquoise from Tibet and jasper
from the Punjab and amethyst from
Persia and all manner OF precious stones.
A traveller said that it seemed to him like
the shining ~ the enchanted castle Of
FURNISHED silver. The walls are 245 feet
kigh. and from the top of these springs
dome 30 more feet high, that dome con-
tanning the most wonderful echo the
world has ever known, so that ever and
anon travellers standing below with flutes
and drums and harps are testing that
echo, and the sounds from below strike
mp, and then come down, as ii were, the
voices Of angels all around about the
building. There is around it a garden Of
tamarind and banyan and palm and all
the floral glorios of the ransacked earth.
But that is only tomb of dead em-
press, and it is tame compared with the
grandcurs which God has buided for
your living and immortal spirit.
Oh, home of the blessed! Founda-
tons Of gold Arches of victory! Cap
stones of praise! And dome in which
there are c-hoing and re-echoing the hal
leluiahs of the ages! And around about
that mansion is garden the garden Of
God, and all the springing fountains are
the bottled tears OF the church in the
wilderness and all the crimson of the
flowers is the deep hue that was caught
up from the carnage of earthly martyr
doms and the fragrance is the prayer OF
all the saints and the aroma puts into
utter forgetfnlness the cassia and the
spikenard and the frankincense and the
world renowned spices which Queen Bal
kis Of Abyssinia flung at the feet Of King
Solomon.
When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls
And pearly gates behold,
Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong,
And streets Of shining goldS
