The Presbyterian society of Manchester
! ara fortunate in possessing a good-siZed
| lot for their new church. This fact has
enabled them to select plan tor the
building which will place both the main
auditorium and the Sunday-school room
on one floor.
The building will cover G5xll5 feet OF
their handsome lot, corner of Tenth and
Porter streets. 1t has two handsome fronts,
one on either street, with towers over
each. The tower on Porter street IS over
eighty feet high; that on Tenth street htty
LARGE stained-glass windows and heavy
oak entrance doors will make, with the
Gothic architecture of the whole as hand
some q modern church as there IS III this
vicinity. :.
The windows are subscribed by indi-
yidual parties as memorials and otherwise,
and are nearly all taken. This would be
very pleasant way TO assist this small and
energetic congregation In their credltaDle
and noble undertaking. The windows, OF
course, vary IN p1ce.
The auditorium is square, yaulted cell
ing, floor falls to the pulpit, and Will be
seated with circular pews or chars.

as TO be diyisible into class and lecture
rooms, opening into the church through
the vestibule, with entrance ON Tenth
street. .,
The church is TO be lighted by electricity
and heated throughout by furnaces
The work will be begun at once, as soon
as the bids of contractors now being al
yertised for are opened,
