juncture a young minister by the
name of Rev. H. S. Snodgrass ap-
peared upon the field, and preached
his first sermon on the Sabbath
morning of November %, 1873. At
the close of this service announce
ment was made that a congregational
social would be held in the church on
the following Thursday, ThanksgiV-
ing Day, to welcome the new minis
ter and become acquainted. This
proved to be a happy thought; the
members Of the congregation were
largely present with well filled bas-
kets. A cordial address of welcome
was given by Elder c. A. Hunter, to
the Rev. Snodgrass, to which he re-
piled most felicitously in an optim-
istic spirit. After the congregation
had partaken of dinner there were
many baskets full taken up and dis
tributed to the poor This meeting
proved to be the forernnner Of a bet
ter state Of things in the Church,
those who were pessimistic became
optimistic The Treasurer Of the
church at this time reported that
there was an Indebtedness of S1325.OO
which included balance OF $500 due
the Rev. McCunes it was then de-
termined to make an effort to liquid
ate said indebtedness, and the plan
adopted was to hold festival or fair
in the City Hall for week or two,
commencing on the Goth of Deem
Der, for the purpose of procuring the
necessary funds to pay the debts,
which resulted far more fayorably
than the most sanguine friends had
anticipated, and there was more than
enough realized to liquidate the
whole Indebtedness. On March 20,
1874, Rev. II. S. Snodgrass was unan-
imously elected pastor and was in

Special Music.

One of the particular features OF
the dedication day was musical pro-
gram of remarkable character. In
the first place the new pipe organ,
handled with the touch OF profess
sional by Miss Laura Jones, organist,
was surprise and delight to every
one.
Then Mrs. Leora Cammack, Choir
lister for the church, has been in her
element choosing appropriate music
for the special services. Her choice
of anthems and concert singing was
little less than remarkable, Every
one, almost, spoke Of the excellence
of the musical numbers Of the day
Enough Of solo work was offered to
vary the program, Mrs. Cammack, MIR.
Guthrie and others appearing to adj
vantage, but it was in the ensemble
singing that the greatest effect of or
gan and voice was observed.

The New Structure.

Both faith and courage are exempli-
fled in the remodeled structure that
stands today on the location of the
former building that for years was the
home of the membership of the First
Pl esbyterian church in Oskaloosa. AS
il proved the disaster of fire, was the
medium by which they have builded
larger and finer and better than ever
before.
The church building of today is in
deed a model of completeness and
while not large and imposing, is COM
pact and thoroughly convenient in
every detail. The front entrance is in
/ itself power of attraction with its
wide and spacious steps leading to
the sidewalk. The two polished gran
lite columns were formerly in front of
the old Frankel bank building on High
avenue East and were then presented
to the city of Oskaloosa and in turn
was later given to the church for their
use.
Audience Room.
From this open portico, the left
hand door leads to small yestibule and
from there we enter the audience
room. The right hand door leads to a
choir room and from there to the choir
space at the right of the pulpit. The
platform is at the south, end just back
OF the front portico, and here is the
same desk that was presented to the
old church by Major S. H. M. Byers
OF Des ,Moines as a memorial to his
daughter, Helen Byers. who passed
away in Switzerland in 1882. 1t is
made of Olive wood from Italy and is
a valuable gift to the church. 1t has
been thoroughly refinished and the
richness of the wood harmonizes de-
iliehtfully with the natural finish OF
the church.
From the desk a bowled floor rises
gradually to the level of the Sunday
school room or trancept. On the East
side, magnificent new organ occu
pies the space given to the old one in
the former building. Across the front
is fancy scroll Of special design. or.

Contractors and Craftsmen.
In the erection of a building of this
character it is always interesting to
note those who have unitedIy wrought
out its beauty and convenience.
Pearle w. Sparks supplied not only
the plans and specifications, but was
responsible for the general carpented
and construction work.
Wells & Stump, We're in charge of
the installation of the plumbing and
also the introduction of the city heat
and the needed piping and radiation.
Charles w. Dayton and his artizans
were in charge of the wall frescoing
and decorative features. The entire
color scheme is decidedly pleasing in
/ its artistic effects.
Central Book Store (Black and Stan
toni. worked out the painting and
vanishing and it is remarkably fine
piece of work, proving that Oskaloosa
can supply work of the finest charac-
ter.
f. Bernick. Jr. was responsible
J for the electrical wiring not only in
the lighting system but also in othes
! parts of the building. The Oskaloosa
Traction and Light Co., supplied the
beautiful electric fixtures and they
comprise not only the indirect. but al
Iso the Mazda or Tungsten lights.
r. McGregof supplied the carpets.
