for this rumor The original deed to the chufch

time the whole neighborhood may become SO

that they have made application for release en-
abling them and their successors to sell the prop

conditions shall make such q step desirable.
The church trustees planning improve
ments of the church property calculated to en-
hance IT'S beauty and usefulness. They have in
mind n modification OF the Cha1cel which will
show the whole great altar window. They have it
In mind to replace all the old glass in the church
with the very best of artistic stained glass. They
wish 10 build stone porch at the main entrance
