build this temple and Solomon S
temple cost 100000, 900, according
to our standard of gold and silver.
We think we've got some fine
buildings now, and we talk about
them. We have, but Solomon S
temple would make them look like
plugged counterfeit cent by the
side of a $4,000 United States
government bond. 1t cost $780,
900, 900 and at the dedicatory ser
vice Solomon offered 120 900 sheep
and 10000 oxen and the gold and
silver adjoining the temple was so
perfect and so beautiful and ar
tistic that it was often regarded
by the ignorant and uniformed
as being the work of the fingers of
an angel rather than the skilled
ingenuity of man.
Temple of Solomon.
The temple is a building which
is dedicated to the worship of the
Diety. They worshipped in that
longs to you, through deed
which you have safely tucked
away in some safety deposit box.
The ancient cities had their tenn
plies; there was the temple of Di-
ana of the Ephesians. They saw
that this NEUROLOGICAL huntress en-
tered the water one morning for
her accustomed bath when sud-
denly Actaeon appeared upon the
scene and her maid attempted to
screen her from his vision. Fail
ing to do this, as he came near, she
splashed water in his face and
said:
Go tell if you can that you saw
Diana of the Ephesians battle" and
they tell US in mythology that long
antlers started TO grow from his
head like the horns of a deer and
his arms heightened until they
touched the ground and his hands
and feet assumed the form and
shape of hooves, his body became
covered with long hair ike a deer.
He maintained the power of
thought but the only way he could
express himself was by bleating.
He had been robbed of the power
of speech and his dogs caught the
scent of a deer and when he at
tempted to tell them who he was
he bleated, but that only intensi-
fed their anger and they chased
him over the hills and through the
valleys. At last they caught him
and tore him to shreds. Thus or
iginated the temple of Diana Of the
Ephesians.
And in Athens they had the tenn
pie of Jupiter and in Rome a tenn
have their temples-St. Peters at
Rome, St Pauls in London. ST.
Marks in Venice. the kremlin at
Moscow, and the cathedrals at Co
logne and Madrid and Paris.
Corinth was a city of God. It
had shrines to all the deities on
earth. There was a temple to
Venus, and the nude female slaves
wandered around and roamed
through her great labyrinths, her
rooms and her halls. There was
the temple to Neptune, the god OF
the seas. There was the temple to
Apollo, the god of music. In lust
and bestiaIity, old Corinth could
out-Sodom Sodom A woman was
not respected because of her vir-
tue. and the women that could go
to the greatest depths of vice, the
women that could boast and blow
of the largest number of para
mours. were the women that were
revered and respected. and they
were put on a pedestal, not be-
cause their virtue put them there,
but because their vice put them
there.
The name of wife-oh, that was
a mockery; and the name OF
mother was derided and sneered
at. Oh. hear me! You can have
your culture clubs, you can have
your literaries, you can have. your
Kelley cures, you can have your
Hull house settlements, you can
have sociology and you can build,
my friends, your Libraries, you can
build a university in the middle
of every block. you can stick pub
lie school on every corner, you
can erect your museums-you will
never prevent America from rot
ting into hell without tidal wave
Of the old time religion. 1t can't
be done
America Needs Tidal Wave.
If a girls skirt is too short, stick
a little on it; if it is cut off too
much at the top, add a couple Of
