a large fireplace at the right of
which a sound-proof telephone booth
occupies a closet Further on two
large check rooms open off the hall,
which then widens into large
room. This is separated off from the
living room by sliding glass-doo<s.
The living room is fully two foot
lower and two long steps connect it
with the hall in such manner that
the smaller and higher room forms
a stage upon which any entertain
ment may be presented before an
audience seated in the large living
room.
The living room is a great we'll
lighted room with a lower ceiling
than those of the others. A large
fireplace is situated at the northern
end over which is large oil-por-
trait of Colonel DIN Scott, who fur
nished the funds for the building of
the Temple. The painting is the
work of Wander Veer and is framed
in bronze. The room has a magnifi-

two bowling alleys. and billiard
and pool room
The second floor contains the jan
itor's office and front room given
over TO the order of the Eastern

mainder of the floor and is like a
large chapel The windows, double
ones, are of slightly Opaque glass
and with the dark wood of the vain

tone of solemnity which increases
the rooms many beauties. The roof
is sharply angular, but the rafters Of
dark cypress are arched
The choir-lofe is sealed in dark
wood unfinished. The lighting
system of the room is a complicated
one. Great white Opaque bulbs hang
from the ceiling and high in the arch
of the roof is a lamp the light of
which focuses directly on the Bible
on the altar beneath in the center of
the room. The entire furniture in
GLIDING the benches about the chapel
are finished in green plush and the
floor covering is velvet carpet of the
same color The tapestry curtains
are Of green velvet also and the pre-
vailing tone of the room is pervaded
by this color.
In the rear of the chapel are the
dressing rooms and cabinets while
at the other extremity are the rooms
used in the preparation of candi-
dates for degrees. t
The furniture throughout the
building is OF dark mission and tap

ing day. The proclamation fol-
lows:
by the president of the United
States of America,
" A proclamation:
A God-fearing nation like ours,
owes it to its Unborn and sincere
sense of moral duty to testify its
devout gratitude to the all-giver
for the countless blessings it has
enjoyed. For many years it has
been customary at the close of the
year for the national executive to
call upon his fellow countrymen
to offer praise and thanks to God
for the manifold blessings vouch-
safed to them in the past and to
unite in earnest suppliance for
their continuance.
The year now drawing to a
close has been notably favorable to
our fortunate land. At peace with
in and without; free from the per-
turbations and calamities that have
afflicted other peoples; rich in har-
vests so abundant and industries
so productive that the overflow of
our prosperity has advantaged the
whole world; strong in the stead
fast conservation of the heritage
of self government bequeathed to
us by the wisdom of Our fathers,
and firm in the resolve to transmit
that heritage unimpaired, but rath-
er improved by good use, to our
children and our children's child
rem for all time to come, the peo-
piles of this country have abundant
cause for gratitude.
Whereas 1, William Howard
Taft, president of the United
States of America, in pursuance of
long established usage andQin res
ponse to the wish of the American
people, invite my countrymen
wheresoever they may sojourn, to
join on Thursday, the twenty
eighth day of this month of Nov
ember, in appropriate ascription of
praise and thanks to God for the
good gifts that have been our por-
ton, and in humble prayer that
his great mercies towards us may
endure.
In witness whereof, / have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to be
affixed.
Done at the city of Washing

and, nine hundred and twelve, and
of the independence of the United
