hose who do not remember the
Sabbath to keep it holy unto the Lord, may manifest some of these
divinely appointed elements of character, but every one who
conscientiously observes the Sabbath as a day for public worship,
reading and teaching the Word of God, endeavors to develop all of them.
The indwelling spirit is dependent on an intelligent knowledge of the
Word, and the strengthening influence of the Sabbath is usually
according to the good use that is made of it.
EXPLANATORY
A couple of cracker boxes inverted serve for the two foundation
stones. The parts of the temple consist of frames made of thin
strips, about five inches wide. Each stone is about three inches
shorter and one and one-half inches narrower than the one below it,
and it rests on supporting strips inserted in the top of the lower
one. All can be set aside in the lower one when they are inverted.
All are covered with white printing paper and the letters are
fastened with little tacks.
The large letters are 2-1/2x1-1/4 and the small ones 1-1/2x7-8
inches. A bright red color is essential in order to produce the
nicest effect. They can be cut very speedily and uniformly if the
cardboard is first ruled with a pen, into squares the size of the
letters, and then ruled with a pencil one-fourth of an inch distant
from the ink rulings.
The arch is four feet wide at the base. The inner circle is
described with a radius of two and the outer one of three feet. The
curved edges of each are cut with a scroll saw. Strips of orange
boxes or sheets of card board, one foot long, are used to nail on
their straight edges. All are covered with cheese cloth or muslin
and the letters are placed on a curved line. The arch and temple can
both be built on a smaller scale with box board. The lifting of the
keystone of the arch, when first inserted is a very interesting
performance.
