A Needed Convenicnce

1t is something of a wonder that
churches have not awaited themselves
of the convenient elevator service.
There appears to be no good reason why
an elevator should not be used in a
church, to increase the value of gal
lery, for example, which usually is a
neglected and unpopular part; or to be
the means of furnishing additional room
facilities without the expense Of more
ground space and separate structures.
and that, too, without impairing the
churchly character Of the architecture.
The idea is worth considering.
