THE NEW GERMAN METHODIST
Church in our city was dedicated by
DR.. Mast, on last Sunday. The Doc
tor stated, in some of his remarks
during the day, that he was perfectly
familiar with the German Methodist
Church in all parts o. the earth, and
that the Germans of Evansville could
boast the finest edi6ce belonging 10
that denomination to be found any
where in the world. This tribute to
the liberality and enterprise Of the
German Methodists Of this city We
take pleasure in placing on record.
The church is of brick, two stories
high, the basement being twelve and
the main audience room twenty-six
feet in the clear. It ia surmounted
with a neat spire one hundred and
twenty feet in height. In this two
large and mellow-toned bells are
placed, for the purpose of calling the
congregation together. The interior
finish of the building is plain but
very neat The windows are of
stained glass. The ceiling and cor
nice are handsomely finished in Plas-
ter Paris. The walls are finished in
blocks, in imitation of stone. The
roof and spire are covered with slate.
The choir gallery is capable Of
holding two hundred people. The
number of seats in the main audienc.
room are about one hundred and
forty, capable of comfortably seating
five persons each. The aisles of the
church are neatly carpeted, and it is
well lighted with gas from two large
chandeliers. The pulpit is compare
lively plain, but very tasty. The
cost of the building, including gas
and carpets, was $4,000. The cost
of ground, parsonage and church was
$34, 0O0 On Sabbath last the def
cheney, amounting to $4,000, was pro-
Vided for, and the church is freefrom
debt. Dr. Mast complimented his
congregation in that, unlike other

licited to dedicate churches, they did
not jump up and run out as soon as
the sermon was over, and he com

congregation came prepared to give,
expected to give, and did not quit
giving until the entire. debt was pro-
providad for
