| vestibule will be 10 feet wide by 36 feet long and will be entered from the porch through three wide doorways. From the .vestibule three similar
 doorways will give entrance to the auditorium and other doors to the first story of the larger and smaller tower.
 In the larger tower will be the bap- tistery and in the smaller will be an iron staircase leading down to the basement and up to the level of the choirloft. All will be finished in con- formity with their uses correspond lngly with the interior of the main | church. The ceilings of the latter will be grained and plastered and ve- luted in plaster stucco richly decorated with mouldings and bosses. This graining will spring from the carved capital of the scagolia columns, 16 in | number, which are so placed within the church as not A to obstruct the views of the main altar from any of the sittings.
 Two beautiful molded and decorat- ed arches will separate the main ceilings from the chsncel ceiling. The latter will be arched and panelled in stucco, all walls will be wainscotted in panels and molded oak, and this material will be used for all doors and

 There will be exits from both sides Of the church at the rear also rear entrances to the basement in core spending positions. There will be sep arate entrances to the sacristies from the outside and to the assembly rooms in the extreme rear of the basement. The entire exterior of the church in- cluding the spire will be built of Yer mont gray marble with trimmings of concrete stone, cream white in color.
 All window frames, millions and tracery will be executed in this same material. It will contrast finely with the bluish gray tone of the Vermont marble. This material was selected by the U. s. Government for all the trimmings of the vast group of new buildings at West Point Military Academy. The front porch of the steps and platform will be of gran ite, the balance of the porch of mar ble and concrete stone. All roofs will be slated with selected red slate and all sheet metal work will be done in copper.

All roof trusses, pu1ins, and the posts supporting same will be of iron construction and all plaster ings will be done on expanded metal laths. All the present wooden cell ings in the older basement will be covered with asbestos paper and sheet metal ceiling. A deafening quilt will be placed between lining and finished floor. Every means will be employed to make the building safe from fire and to insure by heavy walls strong foundations and we'll constructed roofs, the permanence of the building against the clements
