The old Morayian Home Chu ch in
Salem, which has been closed several

was finally re opened yesterday with the
annual celebration of the 18Th of Au-

oval center, encircled by large rustic,

light cloud effect. Just outside the
opening is formed large panel, the
back ground of which is finished in fine
gold lines, style Louis XIV, and on the
surface at the four corners Of the panel
are large Italian Renaissance scroll orna

light stucco color. The walls and gal
