figures on the transept wall, which, by the 
symbols carried in their hands and by the 
titles in gold below, recall the four ideas 
of Faith, Hope, Love and Memory. 
The floor has been designed in a combi- 
nation of marble and tile, the tile being 
made specially for the building in a glazed 
white with an insert color of green. 
Two large Colorado- Yule marble seats 
were designed for the right and left tran- 
sept, and for the service a special desk and 
chair, both in marble, with enriched inserts 
of gold and mother of pearl, are placed in 
the center of the apse. This marble furniture, 
which is a new use of marble for such pur- 
poses, and the four marble electroliers 
complete the scheme of the interior enrich- 
ment, excepting the quotation on the frieze 
of the main auditorium, designed in two- 
fold form, so that it can be read as one 
enters and leaves the chapel. In letters in 
high relief, treated in pure gold, it reads 
as follows : “Until the day break and the 
shadows flee away.” 
The effect of the interior is individual 
and characteristic. The architectural char- 
acter of the building has been most effec- 
tively secured in the lines of constructional 
marble, the lines of ornamental mosaic, 
the details of the furniture, the lettering, 
as well as in the lead lines of the stained 
glass windows. All have been considered, 
each with relation to the other, so that a 
unified artistic effect has been secured. 
In the outer vestibule the following his- 
torical inscriptions have been cut, one on 
either side, in the marble, and gilded in 
pure gold leaf : “Forest Lawn Cemetery 
Association, incorporated A. D. 1885, by 
James J. Brown, Charles H. Brown, Moses 
H. Bliss, William R. Bowen, John H. 
Bracken, Hugh C. Denise, James Forsyth, 
Simeon T. Joselyn, Herman Kountze, Eben 
K. Long, Milton Rogers, Arthur P. Wood, 
Orlando S. Wood,” and on the opposite 
panel : “Forest Lawn Chapel, erected A. D. 
1913. Trustees: O. C. Campbell, president; 
M. H. Bliss, vice-president; H. S. Mann, 
secretary-treasurer ; J. Y. Craig, superin- 
tendent ; James H. Adams, Randall K. 
Brown, Herbert M. Rogers, Joseph C. 
Root, Arthur P. Wood; John McDonald, 
architect.” 
The building is 40x64 feet in ground di- 
mensions on a plot of ground facing the 
entrance drive. The basement connects with 
the receiving vault and Columbarium erect- 
ed some time ago. On the main floor are 
the family room, organ room, chancel, au- 
ditorium, two toilet rooms and the main 
entrance or vestibule. The stairs to the 
basement are of marble, as is a large por- 
tion of the interior of the basement, which 
has a family waiting room, retort rooms 
and work rooms. On the wall of the family 
room is a bronze memorial tablet in raised 
letters, as follows: 
“ ‘I have the purpose to help forward 
progressive movements, even in my latest 
hours, and hence hereby decree that the 
earthly mantle which I shall drop ere long, 
when my real self passes onward to the 
world unseen, shall be swiftly enfolded in 
the flames and rendered powerless harm- 
fully to affect the health of the living. Let 
no friend of mine say aught to prevent the 
cremation of my cast-off body. The fact 
that the popular mind has not come to this 
decision renders it all the more my duty, 
who have seen the light, to stand for it in 
death, as I have sincerely meant in life to 
stand by the great cause of poor, oppressed 
humanity.’ Frances Willard.” 
The receiving vault is a concrete struc- 
ture with 96 slate crypts 7!'x2'A"yiT\" , un- 
derground, connecting with the basement 
of the chapel. The Columbarium is in the 
10-foot entrance of the vault, which is 35 
feet long. The only exposed part of the
