Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Description of the Hawaiian Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: Erected at Laie, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii; And a Statement Concerning the Purpose for Which It Has Been Built The Temple in Hawaii, erected by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, near the picturesque little village of Laie, Oahu, T. H., is so uniquely beautiful that it excites the wonderment of all who see it; and the questions are usually asked, "What has it cost?" and "What is the purpose for which it has been built?" This pamphlet is intended to provide all enquirers with the authentic information they desire, but it is necessarily given in a somewhat brief form. The architects, Messrs. Pope & Burton, of Salt Lake City, Utah, published a statement from which we extract the following: "The temple in Hawaii is situated on an eminence which commands an unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean, whose vast expanse, coupled with the luxuriant semi-tropical vegetation of the fertile and highly cultivated land adjoining the beach, forms a foreground which, in its grandeur, could scarcely be surpassed, and which, through the less exuberant growth on the foot hills, gradually leads up to the background which is formed by the rugged mountain range that separates the leeward or western portion of the island from the windward or eastern side upon which the temple stands. "When considering the construction of a temple in Hawaii, it was quite a problem to determine the material of which it should be built, for, although highly favored in other respects, the islands are almost devoid of building materials.
