The new building will be similar to the Chicago temple and the Broadway temple of New York, both of which are Income-producing properties. Members of the congregation, at their meeting Friday night, indicated they were ready to go ahead with the work of financing and building the structure. The general plan has already been approved by the board of trustees and the quarterly conference of the church. Instead of being only a AVesley church project, it is planned to make the edifice a monument to northwest Methodism. O.

B. McC'lintock, church president, declared at the meeting, where he outlined plans for the building. It probably will be called the Methodist Temple. Ten-Story Main Structure.

Several details of the plans are yet to be worked out, and these will be perfected in the. nc.tr future' after a series of conferences between the architects end officers and members of the congregation.

Dr. Frank L. Roberts, p.i.-tor ot the church, declared that construction of the new building would p-rmit the establishment cf a great downtown service center. "It will permit us to give adequate entertainu-cni. to provide adequate social life, to enable us to do a great social work here," he said.

A year ago members of the church hud planned to start construct ion of the nine-story building, as originally planned, sometime in 1UCS, but as preparations progressed it was found more practicable and advisable to construct an entirely new building, on all prop, erty owned by the church, rather than to erect a building alongside, Mr. McC'lintock said. Conseqquently the plans were revised. Harry Lauder Arrives for 1 9lh U. S.
