3. The putting of large orna-

entrance door is in the tower, and
the making of the entrance at the
northeast corner of the church with
proper bracket awning. The
vestibule will be where the present
library room is.
a.. A partition will be run across
the church for a Sunday school

auditorium. This will give us a
fine Sunday school room, twenty

The Union Church OF 0rangeville.

This church was erected some 60
years ago, and with its external
improvements is quite substantial
in its structure and respectable in
its outer appearance. But being
built primarily for public worship,
it lacks the necessary modern ac-
commodations for the Sunday
school, Christian Endeavor and
church socials. It being very spa
cious, it is difficult to warm it suf-
fciently in very cold weather. The
pulpit is also located at 1.-THE entrance
of the church, and those coming in
are obliged to face the audience,
which is very Objectionable.
For years it has been felt that
something should be done to mod
ernize the interior of this church,
but as the floor slopes eighteen
inches and the entrance is through
the base of the tower, it seemed al
most impossible to make the needed
improvements. But plan has now
been suggested, which is thought
practicable, and by which these diff
ficulfies will be overcome, and the
church made modern and convent
ent in its interior. Among the
changes contemplated in this plan
are the following
/. The removal of the partitions
between the vestibule and the stair
way, the library room and the audi
torium, leaving the two tower posts
stand, but enclosing them with
