windows stand on each side of these doors which are painted dark green It is a threestorey structure and on each corner of each storey a spire had been placed making in all and when illuminated they were symbolical of the apostles going into the world to preach the salvation of Christ The ground floor is feet square and 24 feet high From ithis floor rise pillars which form a large hollow square as well as support the storey above These pillars have inscribed on them the names of the apost les Within this enclosure stand four pillars inscribed with Faith Hope Love and Charity One looks at these wooden columns in admiration of their uniform ity their size their solidity and perfectly rounded sculpture to reflect upon the magnificent tim ber which was native to Sharon at that time Fashioned at an age when no machinery existed in the coun try they were turned by a crank at each end while a man went along the slowly revolving log with a chisel Sarah fre quently had recalled that she had helped her father to make these pillars- Holy of Holies In the very centre of this main floor and surrounded by these immense wooden columns is a remarkable structure the Altar or Holy of Holies It is about five feet square and seven feet high In appearance it resem bles a Chinese pagoda It is made of butternut wood and is of elaborate workmanship This curious Ark was the work of one man John At one time quaint brass lamps had been affixed to the corners of this Altar while overhead had also been suspended another lamp These lamps Jong ago were car ried away by souvenircollect ing vandals Each side of this unique cab inet contains four windows The interior had been lined with black cloth and crimson hang ings and in this rested a large Bible bearing date It is probably from the building of this Altar that the story has be come tradition that no nails were used in construction of the Tem ple This cabinet was made en tirely by hand no nails were used and the many intricate pieces were dovetailed or fitted by wooden pins Three hundred and sixtyfive days were re quired for completion Faith Baldwin of the Toronto Empire staff writing in of a visit to Sharon has left a very tender description of this unu sual piece of work This little inner Temple is altogether- an bit of handiwork something that the present with all its mechan ical appliances might copy but could hardly improve upon It is the work of one member of the fraternity and as thought of the hours of patient labor it represented and the love and devotion it typified It seemed in the truest sense a sacred relic Divided in Four Tarts The main floor of the Tern pie is divided into four purls by aisles leading from each of the four large doors A system of curves is a prominent feature of this architecture The seating arrangements consisted of plain kitchentype chairs each had bee purchased by the indi vidual member and on the back of each chair the owners name had been written A stairway one foot in width and 24 feet in height and which presented the illusion of being suspended in midair ascends almost perpen dicularly to the second storey or crystal room which is 27 feet high Here were placed benches for use of the band which played while the congregation assem bled The third storey or dome is simply a square tower feet in height and down which one may gaze- through an open Space to the

is gathered that at some period in its history it had been used as a target for rifle prac tice Those who have climbed to this topmost turret declare that on a clear day the Blue Mountains at Collingwood may be seen Each and every part of this architectural dream had a sym bolic meaning In the words of the designer David who claimed he saw their plan in a vision I have erected in the village of Sharon memorials of the patterns the Lord hath given for the erection of His House My meaning for the three stories is to represent the Trinity Being square at the base meant to deal on the square with all people The door in the centre of each of the four sides is to let the people come in from the cast and from the west from the north and from the south on equal and the same footing The equal number of win dows on each side of the door is to let the light of the Gospel be equally the same on all the people herein assembled The four pillars at each corner of the altar with the words Faith Hope Love and Charity inscrib ed on them are the four cardinal virtues which are the foundation or in other words the principles on which it is built The golden ball at the top with Peace in scribed meant Peace to the World Study Concurrent with the building of he Temple David Study was planned and construc ted The body of this measures it ft long by ft wide and is surrounded by a of

necessary to erect a much larger building for Sun day worship This new church henceforth to be described as the Town Meeting House was built upon the site of- the little Quaker Meeting House Its proportions were ft by ft and It too was surrounded by a of pillars The outside was pain ted a light yellow with cream facings and as long as it re mained its appearance retained both the unique and the pictur esque The ground floor was feet high the ceiling was arched and supported by three rows of pillars on which was inscribed in letters of gold Daniel iel Jeremiah Moses Jacob Ab raham Solomon David with a harp Samuel Levi Isaac Benjamin Aaron Joseph and Our Lord is One God Above this auditorium was a large schoolroom ft by 21 ft where Sunday School was held as well as band practice This
