plans to Mr. D. J. Tyer, who has been
selected by the committee as super
visor of construction.
The plans of this new addition to the
church buildings of Hattiesburg, were
drawn by VIM. Drago, architect Of
New Orleans, La. The building will
be situated on the lot fronting lis feet
on north side of Main and LOG feet on
west side of Fifth street. The
outside measurements of the building
will be 1O6x1O6 feet, and the front on
Main street will be identical with that
on Fifth street. The auditorium will
be 54x54 feet. Seen from Main street
or the Mississippi Central railroad,
both fronts will be clearly in the line
of vision, presenting very handsome
architectural effects, which are greatly

omitted, and will so diffuse the sun
light that the direct rays will not fall
on any part of the interior but will
give ample light in every nook and
corner in the church. The only art
glass used will be that arranged in
semi-cylindrical form in the interior
of the dome. The foundation will be
of concrete, and the exterior above
the base, which reaches 4 feet above
the street level, will be of pressed
brick. The architect has planned the
interior of the building so as to group
all the art effects around that portion
of the church embracing the pulpit
and choir sections, on the theory that
as a church congregation always faces
the pulpit its attention should not be
diverted by art studies in other parts
of the building, which in this case are
made very simple. .....-....
