 Safe Weighs 200 Pounds.
 Probably the first object of inter- est to the visitor as he enters the auditorium, is the main altar, enam- eled a pure dull white color Con- forming with the rest of the furniture in the building, this fixture is of the English Gothic design. Closer scrutiny of the reredos and the baldichino, re- veals the outer door of the tabernacle. Upon opening this, it is seen to con- tain a steel safe for the preservation of the sacrament of the altar and the sacred vessels. The actual weight of this fireproof safe is 200 pounds. The keys to both doors have been turned over to Father Brennan.
 Furniture of Sanctuary. Other furniture in the sanctuary are the two side altars, consistently of the same design as that of the main altar; the triseat; the acolyte seats: the triple gong, of gold plated finish; the missal stand; three altar cards; six candle sticks; the sanctuary lamp and the crucifix, all of which are resplendent in their gold plated finish.
 The floor is covered with 150 yards of rich plush carpet. The walls are of cream ivory tint.
 There is a room at either side of the sanctuary, which division is twenty feet deep. On the right is the vestry room and on the left the sac- ristry, in which are kept the priestly robes. A vestment case and ward robe constitute the chief furniture of this room.
 The spacious choir loft is at the rear of the church, and in it is con- l tained a reed organ With the ex- ception of the pipe organs it is the l largest organ manufactured. ] All the hardware in the entire building is of a unit design, old Eng l lish in a dull finish.
