The PRESBYTERIAN church is much
better fixed now on lights since in
stalling the acetylene plant. Posi-
bly, they may brighten it up still
more later on by putting in a few
more clusters of those lights. The
building has high top wall inside
which absorbs light surprisingly on
account of being hard oiled and not
painted white. The hard oil gives
an oaken appearance which IS mighty
pretty, contrasting with the side
walls of white plastering.
