The auditorium is seated with pews of curly birch, upholstered in old rose plush.  The floor is in white Italian mosaic, with frieze of the old rose, and the wainscoting repeats the same tints.  The base and cap are of pink Tennessee marble.  On the walls are bracketed oxidized silver lamps of Roman design, and there are frequent illuminated texts from the Bible and from Mrs. Eddy’s “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” impanelled.  A sunburst in the centre of the ceiling takes the place of chandeliers.  There is a disc of cut glass in decorative designs, covering one hundred and forty-four electric lights in the form of a star, which is twenty-one inches from point to point, the centre being of pure white light, and each ray under prisms which reflect the rainbow tints.  The galleries are richly panelled in relief work.  The organ and choir gallery is spacious and rich beyond the power of words to depict.  The platform—­corresponding to the chancel of an Episcopal church—­is a mosaic work, with richly carved seats following the sweep of its curve, with a lamp stand of the Renaissance period on either end, bearing six richly wrought oxidized silver lamps, eight feet in height.  The great organ comes from Detroit.  It is one of vast compass, with AEolian attachment, and cost eleven thousand dollars.  It is the gift of a single individual—­a votive offering of gratitude for the healing of the wife of the donor.

The chime of bells includes fifteen, of fine range and perfect tone.

THE “MOTHER’S ROOM”

The “Mother’s Room” is approached by an entrance of Italian marble, and over the door, in large golden letters on a marble tablet, is the word “Love.”  In this room the mosaic marble floor of white has a Romanesque border and is decorated with sprays of fig leaves bearing fruit.  The room is toned in pale green with relief in old rose.  The mantel is of onyx and gold.  Before the great bay window hangs an Athenian lamp over two hundred years old, which will be kept always burning day and night.  Leading off the “Mother’s Room” are toilet apartments, with full-length French mirrors and every convenience.

The directors’ room is very beautiful in marble approaches and rich carving, and off this is a vault for the safe preservation of papers.

The vestry seats eight hundred people, and opening from it are three large class-rooms and the pastor’s study.

The windows are a remarkable feature of this temple.  There are no “memorial” windows; the entire church is a testimonial, not a memorial—­a point that the members strongly insist upon.

In the auditorium are two rose windows—­one representing the heavenly city which “cometh down from God out of heaven,” with six small windows beneath, emblematic of the six water-pots referred to in John ii. 6.  The other rose window represents the raising of the daughter of Jairus.  Beneath are two small windows bearing palms of victory, and others with lamps, typical of Science and Health.
