NEED OF A NEW CHURCH.
The corner stone of the old church was
laid in 1857. For several years the build
ing has been inadequate 70 the wants of the
large and increasing congregation, and 1t
was found necessary to secure larger
building. The new church will be 170 feet
long BY Sc feet wide, including baptismal
chapel. The body of the church proper
will be 6S feet wide. II will cost S66, $40,
exclusive of the furniture. 1t will be of
the Gothic style of architecture, built of
pressed brick with stone trimmings, and
will be finished about November 1, 1891.
The towers which will be 200 eet high will
be beautiful specimens of church building.
A. Drinding, of Chicago, designed the
plans, and the contracts for building the
church have been let to Benz Brothers and
Kaiser & Stehle. The following well-known
business men compose the Building Com
mittee: Andrew Shoup, Joseph Gauster,
Joseph Umlest, Joseph Krener, August
Holli, Theodore Hailmann, Joseph
Motel, Henry Schnellbach, Peter Schwam,
