Sunday school room by two 20:ft.
wide doors that drop into the base
ment. A roll door separates the two
rostums. When these doors are open
the whole building, with the excep.
tion of the kitchen and primary room
become as one large room. This en-
ables a person setting in any part OF
the building to have a good view OF
the speaker and hear him and the
choir.
The acoustics of the rooms when
thrown open 40 as to serve as one,
seem to be perfect.
The assembly room has a hand
some crate in it. This room will be
used as prayer meeting or reception
DOM and parlor. A part of it will be
divided off with handsome curtains
for class rooms. 1t is separated from
the large room by four doors that
roll up and down. The four class
rooms will be equipped with drap.
cries.
The kitchen is a model OF convent
ence; a sink with water, drying
boards, shelves, cupboards with
stained glass doors, and drawers in
abundance. The. primary room is
reached through double doors with
stained glass panels in the top por-
tion.
The pastors study has a handsome
lire place, and shelving about seven
feet high and about 81 feet long.
The choir room will be provided
with all the conveniences needed. +.
The building is heated by two
large furnaces put in by F. R. Pat.
tsreon e sfhis eo,ntrsc4a,r
of the building said the best work
was done in this furnace work he
ever saw done.
Both large rooms have large venti.
lators and the building is equipped
with floor ventilation.
That part of the structure last de-
scribed is we'll lighted with stained
glass windows, and an abundance of
electric lights.
The frescoeing and decorating was
done by G. w Andrews, of Clinton,
La. He took the prize IN this class of
work at the Worlds Fair. The work
done here is pronounced excellent.
The construction of the building
was done by G.. o. Learned, of Sibley.
He states it the finest and best put
up building he has ever constructed
during his years of experience.
The building must be seen to be
appreciated, and an attempt to des-
cribe it SO that the architecture and
grandeur can be realized fails almost
completely.
It is pronounced the finest in this
part of the state and certainly is a
credit to this town to have such an
edifice. It increases the value OF
every piece Of property in the town.
and affords place for holding meet
ings that it has heretofore been i'm
possible to have on ascount of made
quate room.
The building committee is deser-
wing of much commendation for the
handsome structure. as before the
work was begun they were confront
ed by an advance in the price of ma
terial and were obliged to fall back
on the members to make additional
pledges in order to carry on the work
as planned. We feel that the church
members now appreciate the trials
this committee has endured in carry.
ing the work through to perfection.
The music furnished by the choir
was beautiful and many expressions
of praise were heard, both in regard
to the singing and the sweet tones
brought forth from the pipe organ
by the accomplished organist, Mrs.
Wilson Aull. ~ ...,.~>#
Last, but not least, to be mentioned
is the beloved pastor, Rev.. Wilson
Aull, who occupies adeep spot in the
heart Of his flock and congregation,
and is most highly esteemed by the
entire community. He has been very
enthusiastic over tho building Of this
church and Is very much pleased with
it, and moro 20 with the united sup
port rendered him BY his church.
