Great City Hall With Eight Thousand Capacity
A grand hall described with dimensions: 160 feet deep, four thousand five hundred chairs on the main floor, a surrounding forty foot deep gallery with twenty nine hundred chairs, and sixteen staircases enabling quick filling or emptying. The West end platform bears Moody’s pulpit and Bankey’s organ, with a three hundred voice choir and space for three hundred pastors. The brick and iron walls, two long window rows, and steam heating justify a design aiming at convenience and security in a major urban auditorium costing about twenty one thousand collars.

It includes a humorous exchange where a recruit declares total deafness to avoid service, then proves they can respond when named and converse. The piece blends aphorisms with brief observational tales.
