in this modern Temple, which is ex-
pected to be the outstanding feture
of the sesqui-centennial expositn,
will follow the Biblical measurements
as closely as in the altar.
John Wesley Kelchner, the architect ,
whose dream which he began to spin
years ago, will come true when the
temple is opened next July 4, has spen t
$360,000 of his fortune in research for
information concerning Solomon's
Temple. Many years ago he conducted
an archaeological expedition of his
own into Palestine and made extensive,
although fruitless excavations on
Mount Moriah, where the original
temple was situated. Ile searched the
Talmud and all other possible sources
for information, but eventually came
to rely almost wholly on the descrip-
tive passage , In the Old Testament.
Mr. Kelchner, who is of Pennsyl-
vania Dutch stock, as a boy saw the
great temple in a dream and deter-
mined to become an architect so that
some day he might reproduce it.
Like a fantastic aykscraper, the
11-tiered ziggurat, the main building
of the temple enclosure, housing the
temple itself, will rise into the Philo-
d'Iphia sky. A magnificent porch, the
entrance flanked by the pillars Jachin
and Boaz, each 17 feet in diameter
and 70 feet high, surmounted by ves-
sels of fire, will greet the visitors to
the exposition.
From the great porch and its enor-
mous gilded and carved entrance, the
visitors will pass into the holy Place,
a room SO feet long, 40 feet wide and
20 feet high. At the further end, be-
hind elaborately carved doors, will lie
the Holy of Ilolies, with the Ark of
the Covenant guarded by hugh golden
cherubim. In accordance with the
Biblical description, there will issue
from behind the Ark a light so blind-
ing that no eye can endure it.
Visitors to the templeproper will be
compelled to remove their shoes before
entering and will be given soft san-
dals, whose tread will not interfere
with the chants that will be sung by
the priests.
All the buildings of King Solomon's
Temple will be included in the restor-
ation. These include his house, the
Queen's Palace, the Porch of Pillars ,
the House of the Forest of Lebanon ,
Solomon's Pool and the high wall that
surrounded all, making with the cliff
of Mount Moriah, a formidable cita-
del.
From the Outer Courtyard, access
will be had to the somewhat inner en-
closure that contains the temple,
through a vast portal flanked by gro-
tesque lions. In the foreground will
be the "altar of brass," and nearby
the Lavers and the Molten Sea where
the priests might purify themselves.
Three rows of crimson and gold col-
umns will be ranged on the side of the
Inner Courtyard. After inspecting
these, where the apartments of the
attendants were situated, the visitor
may pass into the Holy Place between
Jachin and Boaz.
A further recapture of the spirit of
Solomon's day will be attempted by
the employment of 2,300 attendants,
who, dressed in the vestments of Sem-
itic priests, will pass to and fro on
their ritual duties in the Holy Place
and the Holy of Holies.
On the last day of the Sesqui-Cen-
tennial Exposition, the destruction of
the temple will be slmualted by the
emission of great volumes of vapor
from pipes that are to be built in the
structure. It is believed the buildings
of Solomon's Citadel will be retained
for two years after the exposition.
According to Mr. Kelchner, money
already has been assured for the erec-
tion in New York of • permanent res-
torati..n of Solomon's Temple, and the
reproduction here will give the spon-
sors of that project an opportunity to
become more fully acquainted with the
task they have set themselves.
