Services at the North church had been held
in the vestry for some weeks while the audi
torlurn was undergoing renovation, and the
work having been completed it was used last
Sunday morning. when rededication services
were held. The order of services included
special music by male quartette composed of
E. S. Pitcher, John Parker Orlando Tithering-
ton and Arthur N johnson, and a sermon by
the pastor, Rev. David L. Wilson, on 1.-THE
Function of the Church." There was large
attendance and the service was very impress
sive. OF the decorating it may be said that
it is artistic and restful, and it is matter of
congratulation to the society that the work
has all been paid for outside of the regular
revenues of the church, largely through the
efforts of the Ladies Circle, aided by the
Guild and individual members of the church.
The woodwork is done in pale buff, with trim
mings of mahogany on the pews, while the
walls soft terra Gotta, with ..stencilings of
buff. The cornce shades up from terra Gotta,
through old ivory to the palest yellow with
ceiling of cream. The new curtain at the
organ loft was admired as it blended beauti
fully with the general color scheme Bou-
quets of cut flowers graced the pulpit and
altar.
