Of BEAUTY
PRESBYTERIANS ARE PREPARING
TO BUILD AND HOPE TO HAVE
WORK UNDER WAY WITHIN
TWO MONTHS.

The finished plans are being drawn
for the new Presbyterian church TO
be erected in this city, and according
to the preliminary plans, will be the
handsomest church edfce in the
city.
p. ID. Maxwell, who is chairman of
the building committee, states that
he hopes to have work on the new
church begun within six months af-
ter the beginning. The plans call
for a beautiful interior, as well as 4
magnificent exterior, and will have a
seating capacity of five hundred. The
choir and pipe organ, as in all mod
ern churches, will be behind the
pulpit.
Mr.. Maxwell has been looking over
various plans that have been SUD
mitted, and has finally decided upon
one adopted as being best suited to
the needs of the congregation in this
city. A detailed description of the
building would be hard to give by
other than trained architect, but
the citizens of Ardmore can rest
assured that an edifice will be erected
that everyone, regardless of religious
belief, can be justly proud of.
