terprise-Eloquent Sermons and Inter-
estang Cerensonia1s.-The congregation
and visiting friends attending the
English Lutheran Church last Sunday
were delighted with the beautiful
auditorium, then open for the first
time since its completion. Every
seat was occupied and all spent the
waiting moments viewing the change
that had been wrought by 80 much
patient labor and pious devotion.
The result was more than gratifying;
the room had been frescoed in superb
style, and furnished with faultless
taste. The pulpit, overhung by sub
stantial arch, obtainsapparently deep
er proportions by a representation of
a callonade hall upon the rear wall.
The ceiling combines patchwork of
fitting dimensions, set off by harmon
ious bleldings of color and shade in
column, border and flower. The walls
upon the side are plain, while the rear
is equipped with choir and side gal
leries, the fronts of which are finish
ed in panel, walnut, oak and maple.
Several walnut finished pews in the
gallery, together with those below,
provide seating capacity for three
hundred persons. The centre, right
and left aisles, are richly carpeted, as
also the chancel and pulpit. The
chancel is enclosed by beautiful
semi-circular walnut railing. The
pulpit contains three and the chancel
two magnificent pink velvet-cushion-
ed chairs, with desk, flower stand,
and reading desk to match. A splen-
did Tennessee marble communion
table also occupies the ..chancel. A
pretty double-jet gas bracket on each
side of the pulpit; Two single-jet brack-
cts in the gallery, and mammoth
reflector of eighteen jets, suspended
from the centre of the ceiling, provide
soft and brilliant light. AS before
stated the room and furniture has
been re-ftted with most superb taste,
the credit for which and the energy
which realized it, is conceded in great
measure to Mrs. P. L. Harrison, the
pastors wife. She could not have
achieved the work, however, without
the indispensably liberal cooperative
aid of many ladies who are named

neotion with their contributions, and
