ST. ANDREWS
Reopcnins orThut Church Yesterday Ate,
Repairs.

INeputEbs
Yesterday St. Andrews p. L. church, corner
of Fourteenth and Corcoran Streets was re-
opened, after undergoing extensive repairs
and enlargement during the past four months.
Rev. DIR. Hubbard, OF Winchester, Va, preached
in the morning-he being the pastor of a large
number of families now connected with St.
Andrews who formerly attended the 1ncar-
nation church under DIR. Hubard's ministry.
The church has been enlarged by the addi-
ton of forty-fve feet to its depth and forty
five additional pews have been placed in the
audience room. In addition to this, a neat
gallery has been built over the vestibules and
pastors study, capable Of seating about
seventy-ive persons, making the seating
capacity of the church about GOO
The chancel has been remodeled and chan
eel furniture added. There are now two en-
frances to the church, both from Corcoran
street, the side entrance from Fourteenth
street having been closed. The alterations
and additions were planned by Mr.. Il. Il.
Avery, architect and engineer, as free gift
to the church, including his personal super
intendence Of the work, which has been done
under contract by Joseph II. Gibbons, builder.
This parish is but three years old and during
this short period it has erected chapel at q
cost OF $500 and has now expended $4,000 in
its enlargement
During the past two years Rev. j. b. Perry
has been rector and much of the progress
made has been due 10 his popularity both in
and out of the pulpit He appears to have
directed his efforts to the development of that
style of churchmanship encouraged by the
book of common prayer, avoiding all the en-
tanglements Of high and low church.
Those who are most intimate with the his
tory of the establishment of st. Andrew
parish will rejoice at the large measure of
SUCCESS that has attended it. In addition to
the now commodious church its congregation
enjoys, land has been secured for tho erection
of one of the largest church ediices in tho
city, and if the future growth keeps step with
the music of the past, the day is not distant
when such an ediice will be in demand. A
quartette choir renders acceptable music az
both the morning and night services, Miss
Jennie Cutter being the soprano and Miss
Matte Gray the contralto, with Miss Nc
Callum, organist.
