New York, Dec. 11.-Charles Mettam,
the architect and civil engineer whose
death at Bayonne, n. j., is announced,
was the first TO suggest elevated rail-
roads in city streets. He designed and
built the funeral car which carried the
remains of President Lincoln. He
served under the late Gen. Delafeld in
constructing the Notifications of New
York harbor, and many notable build
ings in New York were erected by him.

The new auditorium Of the First
Christian church was dedicated yester-
day with appropriate exercises, in the
presence of an audience which tested d
the capacity of the building. The inter-

potted plants, papyrus umbrella plants
and quantities of white flowers.
In the morning the Rev. B. B. Tyler Of
New York preached the sermon, and the
order Of service included special music
scripture lessons and the dedicatory
service. In the afternoon a union COM
munion service of all the Christian
churches in the city was held at $3.50, the
Rev David Walk presiding, and in the
evening praise service of song was
rendered by an augmented choir under
the leadership of w. C. Harris ana Rev.
Mr. Tyler again preached the sermon.
About three years ago the First Chris
tian church congregation moved from
their old place of worship on Temple
street, opposite the court house, into
a chapel they had erected on the rear
end of the lot at the northwest corner
of Eleventh and Hope streets. The
chapel faced on Eleventh street, and
the congregation have occupied it ever
since. Last spring, ground was broken
for the main auditorium which was dedi-
Gated yesterday, and the chapel will be
used henceforth as Sunday school and
lecture rooms, parlors, ETC., and is con-
nected with the church proper by slid

FIRST CHRIS TIAN CHURCH

The new part Of the edifice is designed
In the thirteenth century gothic, and
has spire 125 feet high spanning the
principal entrance. In addition to this
main entrance there are two Others one
on each of the three corners, the fourth
being occupied by handsome rostrum
choir gallery, organ loft and bapistry.
The large auditorium has a clear floor
space Of not less than four thousand
square feet, with seating capacity of
six hundred, and together with the
chapel will hold, comfortably, 1900 to
1400 people. The exterior of the church
is richly ornamented with heavy gothic
bas-reliefs, buttresses and pinnacles.
The result is a place of worship that
stands we'll to the front among the
largest and handsomest in the city.
The interior matches the exterior in
style of architecture The handsome
groined ceiling of Oregon pine, octagonal
in FORM is 3S feet high, ,and has eight ham
mer beam trusses. The pews are of
quarter sawed oak and are placed as
In an amp.theater facing the corner pull
pit. The rest of the interior finishing is
Of hard wood, polished and the walls
of rough plaster are handsomely tinted
with a color that harmonizes with the
woodwork, and are richly frescoed with
arabesques of darker shade.
There are two immense memorial
gothic windows of art glass in hand
some designs, the gift of Mrs. John Y.
Orchard, and two smaller windows,
also Of art glass, and beautiful, one the
gift of the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor and the other from
the junior and intermediate societies of
the same organization. The whole build
ing is lighted with both gas and elec-
tricity.
Behind the reading desk on the ros-
trum is the choir gallery and organ
loft The latter is at present finished
with false wall that can be easily
removed when the pipe organ is a real
lty instead of an anticipation. AT the
north end Of the rostrum is a large open
baptistry, lined with porcelain, with
stairs leading to it from the robing rooms
back of the organ loft. At the south
end of the rostrum is an elevated read
ing desk from which an audience in the
chapel can be reached as we'll as that
in the main auditorium. Under the ros-
trum is the heating and ventiat ting ap-
pdrdtuS.
The music is in charge of w. c.. Har-
ris who conducts the double quartet
choir. Miss Lulu Landrum is the organ
list.
The pastor of this handsome new
church and prosperous congregation is

proclamations of emancipation are asso-

they were really written by humble in

and came forth, willing to lay down their

to boast of our country, our institutions,
and our government and we connect
these with the patriots and heroes of
whom we are justly proud but, after all,
they were only the standard bearers, and
the standard bearer is of no use unless
behind him is the regiment of brave meL
every one prepared to do his part. We
are indebted for our country to many
millions of faithful workers, every one of
whom hewed and carried a beam that he
might build it in magnificence and glory.
They developed its resources, built its
cities, founded its institutions, estab-
lished its government, fought its battles,
and today our country owes her security
and her prospects to this-not that she
has great statesmen to manage her af-
fairs, not that she has untold wealth.
but that she is enshriped in the affections
of tens Of millions of loyal citizens every
one of whom is ready to hew a beam for
her support defense and perpetuity.
"As it is with the country, so it is with
the church. All the progress of Chris
tianity is due to the efforts of individuals.
Our Lord sought men singly, and apostles
and missionaries Of the cross have fol-
lowed his example. No ore is Chris
tian because his parents or associates
are Christians. 1t is matter of indi-
vidual choice and of personal allegiance
to Jesus Christ. If the church of God, is
to continue to advance in the world, It
will be because Of the faithful work Of
individuals who hew their beams to build
the temple Of the Lord"

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY"
Rev. E. F. Goff Of Riverside at the
First CONGREGATIONAL Church

Rev. Edward F. Golf of Riverside oc-
cupied the pulpit Of the First Congrega-
tional church yesterday morning. He
preached on Individual Responsibility"
from the text: Every Man Beam"
Kings viz. He said in part:
1.-THE students of Elisha were crowded
in their quarters. They decided that
they must have new buildings. The
architect, plans, and master-builder are
unknown to US, but the way in which
they hoped to accomplish their work is
stated: They would take every man a
BEAM There was no place for the idle
or the lazy. Everyone was given work
to do, and if he did. not shirk it the end
in view would be attained.
''The lesson of the text is one of per-
sonal responsibility. Every one Of US
has his BEAM to hew and to carry. We
may be as insignificant as the snow
flakes or the drops of water, but unlike
these we cannot lose our identity. Our
nation is great and strong, but it owes it
all to individuals, every one of whom has
a name in it, place to fill, work to do.
beam to hew. Questions Of national
Importance are, after all, questions to be
settled by the individual. By our votes
we determine our officers. our govern
ment, our laws. In the same way we
must settle the question Of the tariff, of
the liquor traffic, of the social evil, and
of Sunday desecra ton. Excepting the
tariff, all these questions were in rdividual
before they were national. We speak
of public sentiment, or opinion, and W.
say that II is mighty; that in free coun-
try it sweeps everything before it; that
no usage, law, government, or army, can
Withstand it, But what is public opir-
ion? Is is not the views of right, duty,
responsibility, that are held by the in
dividuals that compose the public? A
free government magnifies the individ-
ual, and increases his responsibility.
Serfs and slaves have few duties and
limited responsibilities. Enlarged lib
erty means enlarged accountability. If
you claim place in the government of
the land. you are forced to that extent to
be accountable for the acts Of govern
ment
Religion is an intensely personal mat
ter God deals with men, not in the ag-
gregate, but as individuals. Sin, par
don, salvation, judgment, the claim Of
Christ upon our allegiance, are clearly
personal.
"All great work is accomplished by in
dividual effort. Discoveries, entions
and great reforms are linked with indi-
vidual names. The great leaders of fu-
manity only lifted on high the torches OF
the worlds progress; others prepared
and lighted those torches for them
