sinking ground mad completely torn
out one of the leading sewers passing
along the avenue. Commissioner
Smith with one of his foremen visited
the scene and found that several other
bricks had followed the course of the
first brick and disappeared In the soil.
Immediately the hole in the center OF
the street which was about nine feet
deep was fenced Oft and red light

The cost Of erection and the equip

excess Of this amount. The old church
was demolished on April II, 1916. and
the corner stone OF the new church
was laid on August 26. 1916, by the Ma.
sonic fraternity. The indirect light
ing system and the massive dome in
the centre OF the CLrrch are especially
fine and attractive. The entire style
of the church is of the Gothic type OF
architecture and nothing mas been

the church complete in all OF its parts
No church bell has been installed to

a set of chimes will be substituted for
