Plan to Restore Interior Of Old Colonial
Church,

Agitation Is being made of a scheme to
raise a popular subscription with which
to restore the interior Of the old Colonial
town church at Rockingham to its for
mer condition, including the raising of
the pulpit to its former height, the wind
ing stairs to reach It, the spindes in the
old square pew backs, and repairing the
walls and ceilings. A. A. Halliday as a
small boy used to play about the church
of which his father was many years IAN
itor, and remembers clearly every detail
of the old building, particularly of the
pulpit, and is confident he can. replace
every part Of 1t as It was built in 1897
No changes were made in It until after
he became familiar with IL, when the
pulpit was lowered several feet The rest
of the interior remains as originally erect
ed, and It is the only old church building
in Vermont of as early date that retains
its characteristics Of that period. Rock
ingham has but few things to which It
can point with as much pride, and that is
as noted as this building. The town has
always kept the exterior in good condition
and the building itself is well preserved.
Curiosity seekers have made havoc with
some of the interior. The movement is
a worthy one and the subscription should
meet with a ready response. Mr.. Halla-
day estimates the cost at from $500 to
$1,000, and the statement is made that
over half this amount can be raised in
Chicago in 800 amounts among the de-
scendants of those who over 100 years
ago worshipped there. II this is so II
ought to be easy to raise the balance in
the rest of the world, and thus preserve
from further Dissertation this interesting
which every citizen should have a just
pride,
