exterior construction, and this is nice
~ set off by Bedford stone and War
renSberg sandstone trimmings.
The church is thoroughly modern
in every respect having ample accom-
mOdatiOnS for the Sunday school and
other departments. The new addition
sions of the main portion of the edifice
to the commodious proportions of
SIKH feet. The new pews are all of
oak material and the seating capacity
is a thousand persons.
The new organ is an excellent one,
the gift of E. B. Merriam, and made
by the Woodbury. Co., of Boston.
There is nothing at all pretentious
about the interior fittings of the place
of worship although the general eff
feet is pleasing. The new white walls
give an air of cheerfulness to the sur
roundings.
The pastor has coy little study at
the rear and on the south side of the
building. A corner room imme diately
adjoining on the east is the mothers
room, and here the checking system
of caring for infants while the moth
ers are enjoying the services will be
adopted. Some of the young people of
the church will have charge of this
department and will make a special
point of child study, endeavoring to
solve the problem of what are the
most approved methods of caring for
and amusing the little tots.
In the basement are several finished
rooms which will serve as quarters
for some of the Sunday school depart
ments. A large room on the west will
be put aside for the meetings of c. E.
society, and here all SOCIAL functions
will be held. Immediately adjoining
this room is a kitchen fitted with
modern conveniences.
Much progress has been made in
connection with the Improvements on
Kansas avenue. Work has gone ahead
with great rapidity at TIC on the ave-
nue. where the LOOMS building is 60
ing up. The first floor is now in, and
it is hoped to put in the fronts of this
and the Frost building at the same
time. Work has commenced in con-
nection with putting in a new front
i'm the building occupied by H. B.
Howard. The Robinson & Marshall
modern front has practically been
completed.
