windows placed rather high in the
wall. In the front of the church is
the deeply recessed main entrance
with two small narrow windows on
either side. Directly over this en-
trance is the great south window
which provides the greater portion of
the interior lighting.
In front of the Guild hall is stone
cloister with large gothic arches which
will connect the church with the rec
tory when the latter is built. At the
juncture of the church and the Guild
Hall is the large stone chimney, near
the top of which is a long narrow
niche. The entire church and Guild
Hall are covered with slate roofing and
flashed with copper. At the three
entrances to the church are placed
hammered bronze lanterns. Open
ing the front door, we step into the
heatherbrown tile floored vesti-
bule, which is dimly lighted by
the small windows above mentioned.
Upon entering the nave from
the veStibule, the first thing that
attracts ones attention are the five
massive oak open timbered arched
trusses which support the roof. The
entire ceiling is of wood construction
which is characteristic of this type of
architecture. The deeply recessed
windows on either side Of the nave
are placed, well up in the wall, which
cast a subdued light in the church.
An oak paneled wainscot, six feet in
height, runs around the entire walls
of the church directly beneath these
windows. Immediately TO the right
is a marble font. On either side of
the main five foot aisle are oak box
pews with seating capacity, of 230
persons.
In the aisle just in front of the
chancel is a carved litany desk The
chancel is separated from the nave
by great stone arch in which is a
rood beam, surmounted by carved
wooden cross, The choir level in the
chancel is three steps higher than the
nave. On the right hand side of the
chancel is the lectern, prayer desk
aud two choir stalls, while on the left
is large pulpit, choir stall and re-
cessed organ. The chancel is lighted
by two sets of tryptic windows placed
high up in the east wall and with a
group of three windows above the
altar.
The floor of the sanctuary is one
step higher than the chancel and is
laid with pearl gray tile. The altar
is very simple in design and built of
grayish-white Riverside V ermon t
marble. Directly over the altar is the
group of three windows that is men
toned above, Directly underneath,
there is an oak canopy, from which
hangs dosal drop, mulberry in color.
The wooden communion rail separates
the sanctuary from the chancel. The
plaster of the entire church walls is
colored a soft mottled gray.
On the east side and in direct con-
nection with the church is the Lady
Chapel. The finishing in the Chapel

church. The Guild Hall is D feet
