In Maine the turret of prayer at the Temple of Truth near Lisbon Falls has echoed with continual supplication for over twenty months. The Holy Ghost and Us Society, not tied to any denomination, funds its work from nothing and has built four buildings including the Temple of Truth that seats about 20 000.
