audience room. The pew seating capaci-
ty is nearly three hundred. The desk is
placed on quite large platform, with
long altar rail, and ample room for pc
destals ETC., for convenience and archi-
tectural beauty. The orchestra, standing
on the left of the desk, like the desk plat
form and the doorway to the vestry is re-
cessed back, the three arched recesses
adding beauty as well as convenience.
The desk, choir space, rail and pedestals
are made of ash, and the paneling, mould
ing and finish all very Hastily designed
and neatly finished, under the supervision
of Mr.. Kinney. The pulpit was gift, and
made by Alex Calderwood, who belongs
to that class of ingenious people here and
there, who can and must do things better
than anybody else. He selected speci-
m ems OF most beautiful wood and finished
it as finely as the best piano. 1t is mod

chased. The house is neatly freScoed in
the soft tints of color, with bright border
bands, and ornamental and biblical de-
signs. The windows, three on each side
and one in the front end, are colored
''floc" glass. The glass for the front Win
emblems are beautiful. The lower panes

the whole house, is put in, and ample ar
engagements with chandeliers and lamps

ton and people are much pleased with so
suitable and convenient an edifice. Very
generous contributions have been made.
The Ladies' Society paid $3.50, and other

seem to demand. In this connection ref

an entire stranger to the people and the
place-Miss Jennie Case. She learned by
friend, who visits this town in summer,
that church was being rebuilt and re.
furnished, and sent beautiful communion

in front of houses, and across drive
ways.
