The sun., 1905-12-17

"Nor is the plan OF the churches and
cathedrals built in medieval style that of
modern church, but is properly fitted only
to the forms and rituals of the Catholic
Church. In the design of tho Madison
Square Presbyterian Church the chief aim
is to treat it as a modern church and in a
style natural to and belonging to the re-
igion which it represents and the country
in which it is built
The plan Of the church is that of simple
auditorium, with simple vestibule and low
galleries which do not project into the
body of the church.
AS one enters the church the great pillars
are the first thing to make an impression
on him; for they are Of green granite and
are thirty feet high, overweghing anything
of the sort in the vicinity. The portico,
made of these pillars standing upon white
marble pedestals and topped with beautiful
rich capitals and a finely proportioned
roof, blue and green and yellow colors peek
ing out from behind the ornaments, is a
very pleasing structure. One is reminded
of the Saint Sophia in Constantinople, as
he observes this church, for the style is
similar, though of course the New York
building is very small compared with the
other'
This is speaking church rather than a
ceremonial church; so it has been made as
nearly perfect acoustically as possible.
One remarks as he enters the auditorium
that the greatest dimension of the place
is upward, the height exceeding the length,
suggestion of the spiritual and lofty pur-
pose and character of the building. Away
in the top of the high dome is the lantern,
as it is called, through which falls the sun
light, bringing out the beautiful decora-
tions of the inner vault Of the spherical
dome, gold and mosaic prcdominating.
Light also enters the dome from row of
windows at its base all around.
Then, lower down, are the great south
windows, shedding on all the interior the
rich tints Of the stained glass as the sun
floods through. The white walls on all
sides reflect and scatter the light through
out the auditorium, the effect Of which will
be CHEEKY and delightful. Metal lanterns,
suspended from the dome, will give the
principal artificial light.
The heating and ventilating are effected
by means of the most approved modern
The sun., 1905-12-17

its figured bricks and terra Gotta give it a
character all its own. The bricks are
specially mo lded; the terra Gotta is semi
glazed and reduced to a hone finish.
Running through the brick wall is a
checker of slightly varying color, at the in
tersections of which the heads are stamped
with square cross. AS foil to the white
marble Of the surrounding buildings, the
terra Gotta has a liberal showing of blues,
greens and yellows running through it,
imparting a rare effect. Pale yellow and
green tiles cover the dome which is SUR
mounted by the lantern, with it's copper
roof, this and the final being treated in
gold
The dimensions of the church may be
gathered from the statement that the front
on Madison Square is rs feet in extent, the
depth IN Twenty-fourth street being lO3
feet. Connected with it is the parish house
with frontage in Twenty-fourth street Of
Al feet the depth being S5 feet.
The top of the main cornice of the church
is Az feet from the ground. Above this
the dome begins, so feet above grade, and
is SO feet inches inside diameter and "a
feet high, spherical. The top of the Ian
tern is 1l3 feet above grade.
AS DR.. Parkhurst says, This is in no sense
an institutional church, 1t does not at
tempt to furnish baths, gymnasium and
other such things; though in the basement
there is a large room which mg ght easily be
made into gymnasium if desired at any
time,
The interior of the parish house is well
arranged, and the rooms impress one as ad-
mirably adapted for the various uses for
which they are designed. The Sunday
school and prayer meeting rooms and the
parlors are all of commodious size. The
same appearance of enduring construction
pervades this as does the church.
do you not feel regret at leaving the old
churoh?" DR.. Parkhurst was asked.
Somewhat. Yet some Of the oldest and
stanchest members were foremost in the
new movement. There is nothing new or
striking in the new church, there is no at
tempt to bring in any new fads. We are
simply building thor, u hly. 1t is not an
institutional church, as some are called
though the plans call for a gymnasium in
the basement of the parish house at the east
end Of the building"

said the one who in his time had seen some
of the beauties as we'll as some Of the ugly

That's it. The trees will be barren. 1t

Il like the hills, replied the one who had
never seen one. Il know what hill is like

planted, as II the spot Of earth once gained
for the Church il held forever SO perhaps
this new church may be permanent.
Mr.. White Of McKim, Meade Il White,
the designer Of this new church, says of
the plan:
The style Of architecture Of the Madi-
son Square Presbyterian Church is that Of
the early Christian, with modified ByHon-
tine treatment in the interior, 1t Is to n
certain extont protest against the preva-
lent idea among lnymen that a building
to be churchlike must be built in medie-
val style
"1he tyle Of Architecture known as Gothic
has nothing to do with the simple forms
Of early Christian religion, or with that Of
the Refor alton, or with the style OF archi-
lecture which prevailed in our own country
when IL had ita birth a. a nation.
"All these, which belong to the Protestant
religion and to us, have no affiliations what
soever with Gothic, but with the classic
style. The Gothic or medieval form OF
architecture belongs absolutely to the
Roman Catholic Church. and was developed
under monastic influences and traditions
which obtained from the ninth to the If
teenth century.

and scientific system Of indirect low prefs-
sure steam apparatus, the warm air being
blown into the auditorium and the foul
air being drawn out by means OF powerful
fans
The pulpit platform and all that part
OF the interior being Of marble and mosaic
makes the substantial and enduring effect
of the place impressive. The two organs
cannot help making pleasing effect in the
service, as they do in the decoration OF the
interior. The effect Of the auditorium, as
one stands and looks about with his mind
susceptible to the impressions from sur
roundings, is very pleasing and uplifting.
The church, facing Madison Square,
and surrounded on the south and east,
and In due time doubtless on the north
also by very high buildings, had to be
treated much as jewel, but on scale to
prevent it's being crushed by the tall build
in2s about it. The portico, with its great
columns, is 50 imposing as to make the

shadowed religion? Once the great cathe-
drals lifted their majestic forms far above
other buildings, but to-day in this me-
tropols many church has given way
before the onward march of CONNER ce.
The Broadway Tabernacle has done
this several times, having recently settled
itself down miles from where n began its
historic career of service. Fifty years
ago a body Of Christian people built the
substantial structure whose high spire
has been a landmark in Madison Square.
II seemed that this might stand for CEN
turies, but the commercial tide came on
and on, and in spite of all the memories
which are connected with the building,
famous for its work and for its pastor, it
had to give place to the enormous COM
mercial structure which had already
reared itself about it so as to obscure 1t
and is soon to be a solid square almost as
high as the spire of the church and to
have a tower on the site of the church far
higher than that spire has been.
Pushed out of its old site, dislodged
from where it has been so long, the church
plants itself on the corner opposite and
builds structure which appears to be
able to withstand the erosion of weather
and even fire; for the materials which are
put into its construction are of the most
enduring kind, the most nearly fireproof
that have ever been employed in architec-
ture. But will even this withstand the
apparently irresistible march of commerce,
some Of the parishioners ask.
The great cathedrals OF Europe will
doubtless remain, whatever may be the
advancements of business or the mgra-
tions Of population. Westminster Abbey
and st. Paul's in London will undoubtedly
endure for ages. Our own old Trinity in
Manhattan still stands amid the wealth and
the rush of downtown, on one OF the greatest
Of thorough. ares and facing street the
name Of which is synonymous with finance.
Broadway and Wall street are doubtless
known as widely as any other business
streets in the world. Yet this church is
flled at service time with people who
seek to worship there, proving that there
are some people who will go to their church,
wherever it may be and wherever they may
remove for their abode Roman Catholics
rarely sell site and go with the tide of
population, a church standing where onoe

Work OF a Beaver Colony.

From the North Fork Times.
If the beavers continue their work on
dam across the North Fork just above the
bridge across the river east of HotChkiss,
they will ultimately cause several thousand
dollars worth OF damage TO property in
that vicinity when high water comes in the
spring, At present the little fellows have
nearly twenty feet of their work completed
and the water is rushing against il without
appreciable dam
MIR Thomas Blackwell, who has lease on
the MetcaH property. wrote to the State
gamo warden, asking what can be done
about the matter, the law not allowing beavers
o be killed. The warden replied the beavers
belonged to the State. but n permit could
be granted for 81 10 kill ten or twelve beavers,
providing they were doing damage, but

dog stretches himself on his back and gives

Whenever the roosters crow at midnight
or at the break OF day the dog is quick to
get into the contest. Mr. Raley has one
rooster for which the dog seems to have

thirty-twa days out from Sydney one Of the
engineers heard faint mewlng in the re-

had not been opened since the vessel started,
was promptly examined. and the unfortunate
cat was found lying upon box Of butter in a
very emaciated condition.
One of its ears and a portion Of its nose
