the Good Shepherd by Easter-WiIklns-
burg Busy rs Usual--Close OF q Week OF
Small Things.
THE Episcopalians of Hazelwood expect
their new church to be ready for the Easter
services. The accommodations will be quite
an agreeable change for the Pensioners of
the "Church of the Good Shepherd from
the present insufficient quarters In the little
chapel. The parish is also promising itself
q new organ, and if it materializes musical
society will be established. The church is a
pretty building of Moorish type of archi-
lecture, which, though not often seen in
America, abounds largely in England for
ecclesiastical purposes. One thing which is
quite Episcopalian, or perhaps more cor
rectly speaking, quite English Church like,
is the arrangement of the building for
preaching purposes alone A matter of
economy, probably has been the cause of so
manv churches being built with basement
., dor sunday school purposes, lectures and
Good Shepherd will have no such accommo-
dations under one roof. 1t will stand as an
example of what High Church people low
1nSly call consecrated ground.
