A SPLENDID BUILDING
ARMORY WILL AMPLY HOUSE
MULTITUDES AT DISCIPLES'
ANNUAL GATHERING.
Will bt Made Comfortable In Second
Longest Structure of Its Kind - -In
Thl Country.
When the Disciples of Christ elect
ed to hold their 1912 International
Convention in the city of Louisville,
Ky., they were moved by many con
siderations of sentiment. The advan
tageous location so near the center
of the strength of this people also
weighed heavily. However, one very
practical consideration was the neces-
slty of proper housing of a meeting of
such vast proportions.
These conventions are attended by
many thousands ol people, it is ex
pected that not less than twenty thou
Band Disciples will be in attendance
at Louisville. Fortunately this city is
provided with an ideal structure for
just such an affair.
The Jefferson county armory is the
second largest building of its kind in
the United States. It contains 4,450,
t.00 cubic feet and is fireproof throngh
out. The main building, which con
slats of three stories and basement.
contains quarters for officers, company
ooms, lockers, gymnasium, library,
veterans' room, etc., and the base
meat contains rifle range, general
toilet, artillery quarters, mess hall,
kitchen, quartermaster department,
store room, etc.
The great dome of the drill hall
rising to a height of 123 feet is just
behind the main building. This hall
Is spanned by large steel trusses.
thus affording clear - floor space of
75,200 square feet. The seating ca
pacity of the hall and balconies is
about 20,000.
This Is an extremely interesting
building, being the highest type of
its kind in this country, especially
structural interest, size and gen
eral arrangement.
This great gathering, which will be
Louisville October 15th to 36d ia-
cluslve, wMl be' well provided for a
meeting place In this immense structure.
In addition ts funviehlng an ade
quate' place for the general meetings
of the session there are ample spaces
for the exhibits of the various socie
ties and departments of the church.
These exhibits are an instructive and
helpful part of , these annual conven

are here portrayed. Tne uMtobing
companies maintain departments for
the exhibition ef their books, etc.
The armory was first used a few
years ago on the occasion, m the
great Louisville "Home Coming,"
when frequently more than twenty
thousand people were accommodated
the spacious auditorium. As this
convention is to be vesy much in the
nature of a home coming, it 'Is most
fitting that it again be pressed into
service. "

Church People Will Take Side Trip to
Great Natural Wonder.
Mammoth Cave Is truly named. It
is also - wonderful, marvelous. Even
the use of superlatives gives only a
faint idea of its grandeur and its beau
ty. Stalactites and stalagmites
words so hard to remember when first
earned in geographies take on the
form of fluted columns, of festoons
and draperies, of ceiling decorations
that would be the despair of a stucco
worker. There are great auditoriums
with lofty ceilings one where the for-
ations resemble a starlit sky domes
hundreds of feet high, the sides form
ed of tier after tier of fluted columns,
balanced rocks and hanging rocks;
huge piles of rocks that seemingly
have been swirled round and round by
underground waters until they have
worn great caverns; mighty crevices
or clefts as if made by earthquakes
barren underground canyons that
might be termed underground streams,
and a river, the Echo, fifteen to forty
feet vide, on which a good sized flat
boat transports tourists for a distance
of half a mile or so that they may also
enjoy the wonderful echoes.
A trip to this great natural wonder
of the great International Convention
is to be one of the interesting features
of the Disciples of Christ which will
be held in Leulsrllle, Ky., in October
of this year. ' .
