little band, clerical and lay, gathered
to lay the corner stone of another edi-
flee devoted to the advancement of
Apostolic doctrine, Episcopal polity,
and liturgical worship in this, one Of
the growing cities Of Iowa. Seven
years of patient waiting, persistent eff
fort, of generous gifts, self-sacrificing
toll, and strong faith, love and prayer,
had resulted, through the Divine bless
ing, in q completed, chaste and beauti-
full church edificc. The church is built
of brick, with light blue limestone
trimmings, rough hammered and dress
ed joints, is Of the mixed Gothic order,
with a corner tewer. All the win
dows, the chancel window excepted,
with the tre-foils and quatre-foils are
filled with stained glass, the center
quaries plain, surrounded with rich,
foliatcd border. The chancel window
is more elaborate m design and colors,
and distinguished by apDropriate and
sn~oestivc ecclesiasiicaI emhlems.
