ing of narrow door and curved win

is barely enough space above its front
for the sign In letters OF gold, Next to
II is a national bank of usual size and
this makes the baby institution seem
even smaller by comparison. Yet this
little bank has been a success from the
very start; has over 500 depositors
and its assets aggregate sl50,000. It
has never failed 10 pay dividends to
its stockholders, and has also paid
over $4,000 in interest 20 depositors.

great curiosity to bank men from all
points Of the compass, there is a lit

Skyscraper Churches.

From the New YORK world.
The new edifice Of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist congregation, Of which Mr.. Rock
efeller and other prominent business men
are members. will further illustrate the
tendency in church architecture to depart
from the traditional models and to build
upward Above the auditorium will be
located the social parlors, Bible class
rooms and other features OF the sky
scraper institutional church. The main
example in New York OF this type is
the Broadway Tabernacle. twelve stories
high. in which the institutional depart
ments are housed on separate floors.
Pittsburg has a church located In. a
fourteen-story ONCE building. to the end
that the bequest devoting its site to
church purposes always and ever
should not be nullified.
As against these examples OF unitarian
church architecture the new Cathedral
OF St. John the Divine reproduces the an
cient form Of ecclesiastical construction
In all Its stateliness. But the significant
thing Is the evidence shown Of a dis
position to make the city church edifce
conform architecturally to its environ
ment. The skyscraper church has been
evolved from the skyscraper office build
ing and hotel. and that II is the type
Of church of the future seems probable.
