THE NEW BAPTIST CHURCH..
The building committee of the new First
Baptism church expect to have the handsome
ediiice finished by the middle of June ready
for dedication. 1t will undoubtedly be the
handsomest church in the city as well as the
largest and most commodious. The stained
glass windows that have recently been placed
in position are the most expensive and hand
some in the city and are in keeping with the
furnishings. In the main body ofthe church
is the lecture room that opens to II, and in
the galleries 1000 people can be comfortably
seated and all commanding an excellent view
of the rostrum. An abundance of class rooms
open from the lecture room for Sunday school
work, and a private room opens from both
the rostrum and the main room that will be
at the disposal of the pastor. The choir oc-
cupies a slightly raised balcony in the rear of
the pulpit, and wher the lecture room and
church are opened as one there are six out
side doors for ingress or egress. The base
ment of the church is occupied in part by the
furnaces, and the remainder is finished into
kitchen, dining room, etc, for church work.,
socials and entertainments of that kind.
The exterior of the church is handsome work
in cut stone and pressed brick, with two
towers aside from the main tower and spire
on the corner. The design is one that meets
enthusiastically the approval of the most crit
ical. The main inside work yet remaining to
be done is the laying of the car
pets, placing of the pews In position and
placing the chandeliers and gas fixtures
in place. AS before stated it is expected to
have the building ready for dedication and
occupancy in about three weeks, although
the date has not yet been publicly announced.
AT the time of dedication Rev. c.. G. Pierce,
of Philadelphia, the former pastor of the
church, and DR.. Lorimer will be in at
tendance and conduct the services, which
will be of moro than ordinary interest.
