has found Itself able to contribute most literally
to all worthy objects, and has grown to be an
established and recognized institution 10 our
midst. part of the plan OF the Central Hall
nroect is to fix the church permanently in q
Mace better suited to Its purpose
than hcVlcker's Theatre, which has no
organ, and is otherwise unsuited for church
services. Prof. Swing has guaranteed to the
stockholders of the Company an organ for the
hall, which he and his friends will donate to the
enterprise as q gift from the church. and in aD-
probation OF the public interest shown IN its
nerfect and complete music-hall will have been
provided
The plans are completed. the erection OF the
building will be begun in a few weeks, and the
hail viii be completed in time for the concert
season next fall, when for the first time since
the rrcat fire in II Chicago will be able TO boast
Of public hall that is worthy the importance OF
the city as q musical and art centre
