I
A wonderful temple of grnult* and mnrhle
and brick hM risen like magic at tbe corner
of Peachtree and Cain atreeta.
It baa been only a few omntba ago that n
mightr concourse gathered here, where
yawned a great excaratlon, to participate In
and wltneea the laying of thg corner |Jpne
of the new Masonic temple.
Now It npreara alruoat on n line with the
Hght-itorled Majeatle. Tet thla marrelou*
'Gliding la only four atortea high. In Itw
final analysis It la really seven atorlea and n
basement. Poor great, lofty floors, with
the celling so far above Hint ono feels his
Inaigalflcanc*. with the tnthruet of three
raexsanlne floor*, make* thl* building dis
tinctive and unique'In lodge homes. There
la also a etih-baseinent In the rear of tho
building, where the engines, (toilers and
other machinery will be located,
The building was planned and tbe work
anpervlaed l»y Godc A Walker, directed by
tbe Masonic Temple Company building com-
mlttee.
No greater care wna ever taken even by
tha government than In the const ruction of
this great temple that la to stand ua the
home of Atlanta Masonry for innuy, many
S tart. Perhaps under rush orders, or even
i the ordinary course of roi!\ ruction, thla
temple would 1*> nearer completion now
than It Is. Rut there bas been the utmost
enre exercised In every detail of the work.
When It Is ready for occupancy, possibly
next Mav or June, It will be u |»orfect
building In every particular. There will not
he a piece of'ahoduy work from suh-butc-
ment to roof.
The work from now nu will prnctlenity all
be inside, so that the bad weather or the
winter uionthn will not Interfere. The ar
chitects are ivorklng under the direction of
the building committee constantly, hut It Is
known to In» the hope and aim to have tho
great building ready to open some time In
May or June. A definite time can not he
gauccd now, as conditions will largely
guide In this.
Tho front of the building la ‘particularly
striking and Imposing. Here Is. the main
entrance with its great granite pillars.
Within the corner stone In tbe north col
umn of the Peachtree street aide Is em-
beded as n keystone the piece of stona
hewn from King Holomon’a quarries by F.
1*. Keels'.
Mr. Neely presented tWs stone to tha
temple, preparing It by embedding In the
exposed side u silver plate, engraved with
the facta ns to where It came from and by
whom presented.
Already the fame of this temple has
spread to all parts of the country, and in
quiries are received ns to the plan of the
building. Without doubt It will be, wheu
completed, one of the handsomest and best
arranged Masonic temples In tbe country.

ssntative of The Georgian: "The priva
tions that are endured by many of the
preachers of this and other conferences
will never be known, for they complain
very little, but it Is a fact that a large

fewer comforts and are watched after
with less care than are the mill hands
In a great many of the cotton mUI
towns."
