The Largest Church in America
<a» : The great building- at Salt Lake j which the saints have been 28 vean I in constructing - , is approaching com- [ pletion. The main walls are done. ' It is built of </ranite, which is hauled !; ; from the mountain back of Salt Lakt i | on great wagons or trucks with wheel.- - >: twelve feel high. Tbe walls are ten i ! feet in thickness, and 8o f«et in height, It has cost uj> to this time $5,500,000. which has been collected hy the tifh ing tax. It will require six years ■ more to finish the work. Probably , no other church building in the United i State> has been constructed in a way . to secure such durability as is possible to this. Some of those who predict : the early ruin of the Mormon hier- • archy are wondering what use they ■ can mr.ke of this ten. pic. But such calculations are rather premature. 'LTltcf sect. may endure .onger than the temple.
