the new church. The Chinese cabinet
maker and architect who has charge of
the place has planned the floor into
church and altar room, a sacristy and
council room. The church will employ
the furniture that has so long been used
IN the old place on Chatham square.
Besides this, it has been equipped with
great square ebony chairs aud tables, In
laid with mother of pearl and carved in
queer floral patterns. The new sacristy
will be larger and handsomer than the
old. In one corner is the bunk, a great
square platform, six feet by eight and
about two feet from the floor Over

bed from whose sides hangs handsome
drapery rather than curtains. The walls
arc decorated with scrolls, banners and
