SllaS Moody Continues His Journey
Westward
VISITS THE MORMON TEMPLE
sr. Moody Gives Vivid description Of the
Interior of the Temple

Editor Record:
We arrived at Salt Lake at p. m,
Friday, December Is After procur-
ing fine rooms at so cents piece,
near depot, men were on hand with
comfortable hacks offering their SER
vices as guides. Soon our party of
four. myself, Mrs Moody, her sister
Mrs. Carrie X Beach of Medina,
Ohio, and Mrs. Jennie Sandal OF
Spokane, Wash, set out; although
there was three inches of snow and
more coming.
The guide first showed us the camp
ing place of Brigham Young and his
party, which consists OF ten acres,
now a park, but then desert, oc-
cupying a square. Here they formed
a square with the some seventy
wagons which they had come from
Nauvo in so as to protect them from
Indians which were numerous then
Men ventured out to the mountains
and brought in wood to keep their
families comfortable
The location of this city is fine
being on the east side of Great Salt
Lake with streets running due east
aDd west and north and south, The
width of streets looked to .be 100 feet,
with telephone and electric light poles
in the center: besides this, in many of
the streets there are beds of flowers
directly in the center, some 12 10 10
feet wide. In the residence parts
special pains are taken to give the
city a beautiful appearance.
The guide gave us histories Of
numerous old buildings built by Nor
mons 40 or so years ago. Some of
them still occupied by the Mormons
wives. for each Mormon family
needed a separate house for occu-
pancy One house pointed out had
twelve gables to represent Brigham
Young's twelve wives.
Many of these leading Mormons
have become rich and very influential
Mormon children attend city schools
till they are about twelve years old
when they are expected to attend
Mormon schools, and then the guide
said they were kept in Mormon har-
ness as much as possible from then
on.
We finally came to the Mormon
Temple, which was forty years in
building. The marble of this for the
first twenty years was drawn by
oxen, some twenty or more miles, in
great blocks often taking three or
four yokes TO draw one block After
this railroad reached them and a
track was run to the quarry and the
work went forward more rapidly.
The foundation is 16 feet deep and
16 feet thick and feet thick at top
of building, and it looks to be 20
feet high None but Mormons in good
standing are ever allowed to enter
The square on which this Temple
stands surrounded by a wall three
feet thick and or 0 feet high, made
Of sun-dried brick, plastered on both
sides with adobe or mortar. No
description of mine can describe this
edifice. There are four other build
ings inside this wall; one of these is
called the tabernacle and our guide
told our party of some 20 would hold
10000 people
The guard took us 200 feet or more in
the farther gallery and at a signal
