The remodeled and enlarged chapel
has had an addition. of 40x60 and, with
the basement and gallery, far more
than doubles the working capacity Of
the building. The old and new chapel
are thrown into one large room for the
use Of the Sunday school and other
large gatherings, but sliding doors in
smaller rooms are needed. The new
part will be used for the primary de-
partment Of the Sunday school and the
older half will house the senior depart
men. In corner Of the balcony one large
room has been partitioned off entirely
and this is the room of the intermediate
department: During the. week this
room will be used by the. kindergar-

used as. an office by the PASTORS as
sistant. The remainder Of the balcony
is an open gallery, the back part Of
which is divided into stalls for the use
Of the Sunday school classes.

The women of the church have been
among the hardest workers to secure
the new chapel, with its improvements,
for they were very much needed in
carrying on the social work of the
accordance with their ideas and wishes
and. it is believed it is as complete and
convenient as any church kitchen in
the city. The large room has three
sides lined with cupboards and chest of
drawers, in which there is place for all
kinds Of supplies, kitchen utensils and
china. A large sink, whose copper lin
ing extends up the wall behind it, af-
fords a bit Of glowing color as well as
complete six-burner gas range and a
small three burner stove constitute the
equipment for cooking. In addition
there is a special coffee boiler and a
lhot-water heater.
The fnishings Of the chapel are plain
but substantial and artistic in coloring.
The woodwork is heavy oak, except in
the kitchen, where oiled pine has been
used. The walls and ceilings thruout
have been done in light shades of
brown and cream and the cork carpet
lis in a harmonious shade Of brown.
The rooms will all be brilliantly light
ed by over $50 electric lights. The
row on the front Of the balcony adds
much to the Decorative effect. 2

letics, and in it are being fitted up

shower baths will be installed as soon
as possible !. t@eEse< -. :.
