tits entirely possible that the members

Rev. S. Alonzo Bright d. D.. is the pastor,

magnificent ediice in Queen Anne town.
/ A telegram was received from d. T. Denny
YESTERDAY, stating that the Church Ex,en-
SON Society Of the Methodist Episcopal
denomination had agreed to extend to
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, of
Seattle, loan of $4,000. to be repaid by
, k9s, on the easiest possible terms at the
low rate OF 6 per cent. per annum. There
spears to be just the slightest hitch in
the matter, but there will be meeting of
sl the members of the church on next
Thursday evening, and it is thought that
BY that time every objection will have
been waived and that all the trustees
will sign the application, which as
soon as forwarded will cause the
money to be forthcoming for immediate
use. 1t is designed to expend from s25,-
90 to $4,000. Toward this Mrs. D. T.
Denny has contributed two lots on the
corner OF Kentucky and Mercer streets,
the cash value of which is 5000. D. T.
Denny has promised to give all the wood
materials, which will amount in all to
about $4,000. Other subscriptions have
been promised that Will amount to about
s., 900 more, so that the debt of the church
will be comparatively small and arranged
50 that 1t can easily be paid. The taber-
nacle in which the congregation is at
present worshiping was built only for
temporary purposes, and as it was thrown
hastily together it is getting in such shape
as to be uncomfortable, both for worship
and for the Sunday-school, and the men,
bers feel that they ought to have q new
home in time for the bad weather of next
season.
Mr.. Bright yesterday showed to the re-
porter of the PosT-INTELLIGENcER the plan
of the church building which will prob
ably be selected. From the picture it is
gathered that it will be an imposing struc-
ture Its dimensions will be 70 by 116 feet,
and it Is designed to have a seating ca
pacity of over 1000 persons. From floor to
ceiling there will be distance of thirty
three feet. 1t will be ornamented with
tao towers, one fifty-four and the other
los feet high. There will be fine entrance
on both Kentucky and Mercer streets. The
interior will be so arranged that the main
euuibOii uiif, VIII w III seat dDOut sDb, can
be added to by unfolding certain other
rooms that are to be ordinarily used as
church parlors and Sunday school class
rooms.
The $4,000 loaned by the Church Ex-
tension Society must be paid back as fol-
lows: In 1898. $1,000; in 1894. 81, 900; in
1895. $1,000; in 1896, $1,000; in 1897, 81, 900,
and in 1898, $1,000. The entire affair will
be brought up at meeting of the men,
bers of the church to be held next Thurs
DAY night. The trustees of the church are
D. 1. Denny, J. B. Denny, c. NJ. Sheafe,
Andrew Eren and Mrs. J. r. Kinnear.
DR.. Bright has been most jealous in the
work of building up this congregation,
and his heart is set on building this
church. There are many members of the
Methodist denomination in North Seattle
and Queen Anne town, and doubtless
when the new edifice is erected Trinity
will become one Of the leading churches in
the city.
