was the pastor, having been called
from st. Louis, where he graduated
from the Theological seminary. Then

The new church will be of dimen-
sions of 60x102 and will face Fifth
avenue. 1t will be constructed of
st. Louis hydraulic pressed brick
with Anamosa stone trimmings, and
will cost exclusive of the interior
work and heating apparatus and
furnishings SIS, 56S-this being the
contract price Of Nicholas Juhl.
But the congregation estimates that
the cost will not fall short of $25, ZOO

ings of its kind in this locality is put
into it. There will be entrances to
the church both on Fifth avenue and
Twentieth street and the seating ca

The design of the church is gothic
plain and durable. The assembly
room will be well lighted and have
a ceiling much higher than the pres

Agrees to Build the Christian Church In
Memory Of Her Departed Father.
Rev. T. W. Grafton sprang quite q
surprise on his congregation at the
Christian church yesterday morning
by announcing n proposition from
Mrs. Mary II. Wadsworth to assume
the expense Of building the new
church in memory of her. departed
father, L. l.. Mitchell. 1t is unnec-
essary to say that Mrs. Wadsworth's
generous proposition was unanimous
~ accepted by the congregation.
By this arrangement the entire re-
sponsibility OF building the church
devolves on Mrs. Wadsworth, who
takes the burden off the building
committees shoulders of looking
into all details relative to the mat
ter. The contract has been let to
John Volk & Co. for $4,000. This
does not include the furnishing
which will increase the cost to about

seems aperture for the city not only
to secure cooperation, in improving

is the furthering of the Twelfth
