PARK CHURCH ORGAN
 BEING INSTALLED Upto- Date Instrument With Every Modern mprovement-1810 Pipes Ready by September.

Embodying in its design and con- struction all that it latest in organ building and most scientific in tone
 production, the new instrument that is being installed at Park Congrega tiona1
 church is one that it is felt will take
 rank with the most powerful and best
 perfected of the country. Along with
 the new pipe organ, other extensive interior changes are being made which will add remarkably to the inside ap-
 pearance of the church, which it is
 expected will be reopened for Sunday
 Sept. 3.

 many in 1875. Only a few of the old pipes have been used in the new or
 gan, which has a score of mechanical conVenlences to commend it to the or ganist, while to the layman the com plexity of the stops, pipes and connec-
 tions that go to make up the complet- ed whole is simply wonderful
