THE NEW NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The site Of tho new church edlico about to be
erected by this congregation is OH the west side
Of King-street, south Of Vanderhorst, late the re-
sidence OF Father O'Neill. The building will
measure 145 feet in length and &C in breadth. The
nave will be go by 81 feet, and the chancel "a by
Ii. The vestry room, u by 10, is to be on the
northwest corner Of the building. Height Of the
arch in nave 81. There will DO three entrance
doors in front, and two on the sides. Tho gale
ries will be on the north, east and south silos.
Tho steople will be 1927 feet in height, higher, by
over 20 feet, than any other in the city.
STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE.
The church is to be built in tho pure German
style of ecclesiastical architecture, in many re-
spects not unlike the stately Cathedral in Broad
street, which was laid in ruins by the Great Fire.
The principal door of entrance is placed in tic
centre Of tho tower, which occupies the middle Of
the front elevation. Tie organ is to be placed in
the tower. The order Of arch itecturo is marked
By the pointed mullioned gothic windows. OF
these there vii. 20 two rows; single windows un-
der the galleries, and double above. The walls
aIc supported by buttresses, terminating III pin
nacles, connected by a battlemen ed parapet.
Tho Windows viii be of stained 9laSs-thc front
window in tho tower twenty-eight feet high.
Above the main centre a richly ornamented ''ro-
sette'' or ''buli's eye" for clock: and 4 large gothic
window above for the belfry.
The roof OF the tower, from which rises the
spire in an octave, is in the form OF a cross. The
chancel is pentagon.
Capacity Of church from twelve hundred TO tf-
teen hundred seats. Standing room Tor three
thousand. The church will be built Of brick, re-
curing one million two hundred aud fifty thou
sand for Its walls. The cost is timated TT about
sixty thorcand dollars.
The appearance OF tho inside will resemble that
OF ;he CITADEL Square Blptist Church.
The ceiling viii be in iresco; the galleries have
banisters Of wood elabOrltely carved Ill lace work
ali corresponding with the character OF the archi-
tcctuIe. The galleries will be supported by clus-
tiers OF iron columns-the pewS Ill oak.
The church will be 4 great ornament TO our city,
being beautiful i'll It's syInIuchy, and an imposn g
and well-inished structure. We hope that III time
the u~nsightly buildings row obstrurtinG the view
: from tho Citadel Green will be removed, and that
The square Will be surrounded by large and hand
scme buildings.
The ground plan is similar 10 that Of a church
/ e6if: &C in Lauenburg, Pommerania. This reseni-
blapce, however, l.. accidental, the plan for The new
| Lutheran ChuIcL being entirely original.
In conclusion, il only remairs to DO said that
Mi. J. Fl. Devereux has projected the plan, and is
| the architect and builder OF the new church,
