The organ is elegantly finished and dis
plays the finest workmanship in all its
parts 1t is from IS to 80 feet high and
occupies the alcoves on each side of the
large stained glass window, through
which the sun streams in and fills the
church with light. On the right Of the
recess, looking from the pulpit are the
great and swell organs, and on the left
the pedal organ. The distance be-
tween the two parts is about Is
feet, the interval being occupied by con
Meeting portions of the instrument. The
case is of polished walnut Very little
wood is used in the construction Of the
modern ''organ 'front.' only that portion
below the belt-on which the displayed
pipes stand-being so constructed; the
upper part consisting entirely Of pipes
artistically arranged in groups, and sus-
tanned in position by light band work of
wood, supported by narrow pilasters or
columns of the same material. The dis
played pipes are tastefully decorated in
gold and colors. The interior work of
the organ is substantially made and so
constructed as to prevent the various
parts from settling and deranging
their faction" The draw stops are
arranged in terraces and are exceptionally
neat. The pedal combination movements
are so constructed that they can be easily
adjusted in case of arrangement. The
voicing Of all the stopsis executed accord
ing to the highest standard of artistic ex-
cellence; the greatest care being taken to
give each stop its distinctive quality and
quantity of tone and to have the general
balance Of the instrument preserved. The
workmanship Of the entire organ is OF SUI
perior order and it cannot fail to prove
satisfactory.
Above the keyboard, In raised letters,
with a stippled or dotted background, is
the inscription-"In memory of William
Calder, erected by his family 1884.

Immediately beneath it is the beautiful
Scriptural quotation-''He will joy over
thee with singing"
The cost Of the organ could not be
definitely ascertained, but it is variously
estimated at from SO, 500 to $4,000. The
work Of erecting it viii be finished in
two or three days, after which it will be
tuned and regulated.
The organ is blown by Shriver water
motor. which is placed in the basement,
Immediately under the vestibule. 1t is
managed by means Of connecting rods
which are operated from the left Side Of
the great organ.
This is the Cloth organ that has been
built by johnson & Son and their fame is
wide as the country. This fact in itself
is an assurance that the magnificent or
gan is first-class.
The public will have the pleasure OF
hearing the organ for the first time at the
grand recital to be given by Prof Fred
eric Archer, of New York, Friday even
ing, April 4th. 1t promises to be the
musical event Of the season, and the de-
mand for good seats is already large.
Prof Archer is celebrated organist and
rare treat is in store for those who at
