THE WEST CHURCH NOT TO MOVE.
A NEW FRONT WILL BE ERECTED AND A
PARISH HOUSE BUILT

The West Presbyterian Church the Rev. Dr. An
thony H Evans, pastor, which not long ago lost
the membership OF Russell Sage, Miss Helen Gould
and others. has decided to remain in its present
downtown location and greatly develop its plant
and work. Finding financial supporters, the
session has voted undertake the construction OF
a new church and parish house to be complete in
every respect for institutional work and
tend through TO the street. the church already
owning land for the purpose Seeing other churches
uptown, the West Church considers il 70 be
its duty remain downtown. The building OF the
new library opposite and the construction of the
tunnel stations by. makes il possible, the
session thinks 70 create mere a Presbyterian work
which shall representative Of the denomins ton.
The West Church is the north side of Forty
second-st.. near Fifth-ave. Its front has dis
pleased many. and il is said TO be the pur
pose of it's congregation TO il down and erect
in its stead a front that will better suit the i'm
proved architectural and other conditions which
will surround the Bryant Park of the future An
auditorium of modern construction will be pro-
vided- Behind the church the congregation owns
a large plot OF land extending through TO Forty
third-st. on this there will be erected a parish
house. containing improvements and in which there
will be built up a downtown work similar to that
carried in the Madison Square Church
house. A model for it is the Hall Memorial House
of Brooklyn Heights. and is said some Of the
features of the latter will be Incorporated in the
Forty-thrd-st development.
Speaking of the matter yesterday. the pastor the
Rev Dr. Evans, said
Despite some reports to that effect. West Church
has intention of quitting its present site and
going uptown. and has never had such an idea In
this section there are 10 be great number OF
hotels. l suppose heavy traffic is to be removed
from Fifth-avC That fact and the coming of the
splendid library. will make our section more than
ever population centre. The West Church has
always had congregation made up more or less
of hotel and session believes the church
need to De cater than ever such guests
In this matter the resident worshppers are in
thorough accord Finances are in excellent shape.
and I believe shall have more than ordinary
difficulties in carrying plans of development.
