In The Mormon Tabernacle

"Theare never was a building Hke it in tlie wOrld," sai[ the bishop. 'lt was Brigham Voung's Idi In we went and Btood In the enqrtnoua Interior In wliich (3,000 persons ma.v Bit cm any day, and 10,000 can be seated ií atoóla are brought in. Not even Henry Ward Beecher'a old I'lymouth Church is more plain and Bare. lt is Just ;i great hall wlth a wiile gallery around three Bides, wlth llttle wooden poste, whii-h look like inarble, to support the gallery ; wit li battalions oí pewg on the floors, and a gtgantic Organ at one end lisIng above the greatest choir space 1 ever saw in i church. And that, in turn, is above a terraced series platforms leadlng down to the maln Hoor, like a very broad but short si airease. A man stood at the end of the church. He sadd : "Go up in the gallery and walk to the other end oï the building. It is 250 'eet long and 140 l'eet wiilc. vet when I whisper yon will iiear me. 90 perfect are the acoustic propertlea of the building." I walked the length of the eliun-li. My tootstepa were repeated bs tnany times ia echos that the reverberatlon sounded like a drur.imer's roll-call- akrnost as 't was a regiment marchIng. From where I stood at last, the man who liad spoken looked like a boy. He held up hls band. "Answer me in a natural tone When I speak to you. I am golng to whisper." (Then the whtoper carne, dlatlnctly, "Can you heai me whisper ? I am goinjí t(i drop a pin on this. altar rail. II you licar It.") He held the pin two luches above the rail and dropped it. I lieard it as IX- as I never supposed a pin could make itsell heard a fooi away. ■'And now," Baid tbe man. ''see and hear what I do now." He rubbed hls tanda together, and a sound llke a loud rustlf Ol Bllk íloatb3 through the hall. Afterwards I sat by tliat amiable and ingenióos man. and saw liini go through Ihe performance íor othcrs. The only trlck was in the building. Bishop Preston, soated with me in the echo-liaunted hall, then told me what I would see were it Banday. In the choir gpace I would see 300 trained siugers and the organist. At the top of the terraces oí baliches would sit President Wlllford "Woodruti (the Brlgham Young of to-day), in aged man who knew the founders ol the church, was long an Apostle, and now s "Presiding High Prlest." He has two counsellors, and all three compoae what is ealled the First PresIdency oí the church: Nest below- one step down- I would see BUCh oí Twelve Apostle as mlghi be then in Balt Lake City, and their President. These, I was tcdii. are glfted eloquent preachers and theologians. Then would be geen on lower tlers 'the 8eventies,' who now number 100 quorums o! seventy ministers each. Every Seventy lias seven Presidents, who are the directora oí the grbup. The Beven First Presidenta ol the Beventies are the director of all the Beventics in the world. They are ministers spreaders of the gospel. Thelr vork is that of the Apostles, who are too lew in number to do what js required, and therefore have this assistanee. Xext below would be eeea, on a sunflay, the Presidente ofStakes - a itake belng what we cali a county. These diocesen rulera have spiritual control over all 1h bishope, whom they inBtruct and direct. Xext would come the Eighties, or elders, of whom there isa liost. Thev are often called upon to preach, and are preparing to become "Seventlea," or t'ull-fledged preachers. Nest would be seen the Presidlng Bl&hopa in charge of the trmporal affaire of the church. The Presldlng Higli Triest, liis two counBellors, the Apostlee, and the Presidinii Bishope, are the general officerg ol the Church. On eash ide of these terraced platforms was an enclosure, railed off. One was for the Bishops of Wards, and tlie other ior High Councillors and High Prieete. Ending the s rics ol deparl nu nts, b :twi c:i üie leaders and the plaiu saints. was the cominunion table, on which the bread
