struction. The massive building con- tains 30 rooms, each with well de- fined purpose. The approach is from Central avenue by many wide concrete steps which lead among four massive Doric pillars to the broad and deep vestibule.
 Before proceeding to the auditor ium, one turns aside to the left ug short winding stairway to the of flee of the church which will be kept open every day throughout the year. Beyond is the pastors study, hand some room in the northwest corner of the building. It is already pro- vided with a fine library. In one end of the study is wedding alcove. An ante room before the study is a handsomely appointed reception room.
 On the other side of the vestfbule, to the south, is a nursery where small children will be cared for dur Ing services by a trained nurse. Be- yond that is the women's missionary room, spacious apartment to which IS attached a nicely appointed kitch- enette. This room opens into the auditorium.
 The auditorium consists of a main floor and balcony, both with a seating capacity of 1900. The benches, arranged in sweeping curves, on an inclined floor, are of gumwood which is easily mistaken for Cir cassian walnut.
 On each side of the auditorium are the classrooms. The windows be- tween them and the auditorium are or narrow, long panes of glass, each with frosted border, within which is a strip of delicate green, the in- terlor of the panes being a clear crystal, all producing a most pleasing effect. A flood of softened daylight falls upon the auditorium.
 In the front of the auditorium is the communion table of rich, highly polished wood and back of it the pul. pit, a roomy space in white. On tn, south of the pulpit, is the baptistry of concrete, faced with wood to . height of two feet and above is 2 large slab of three quarter inch thick plate glass, forming the upper par Of the pool and giving a view of the water. Descent is made into the pool from a rear room adjoining which is a dressing room.
 In the rear of the pulpit is inc spacious choir loft and back of thai a huge organ loft, the top of which extends beyond the second story fol at this end of the building, as al the front, it is three stories.
 Between these elevations, front anC rear, on both sides are two grea- rooms which flank the auditorium and are on a level with the floor O. the auditorium at the rear.
 The first floor or as it may b, called, the basement, though it i. | only three feet below the level O. the street, is devoted to various pur. i poses, but chiefly to the purpose. of the children. Here are three clas. rooms for them, the beginners, tn. 1 juniors and the older children. Ther, is also here a large hall. In tn, rear of the basement, the huge heat ing plant is located. that is. a heat. ing plant in the winter and a cool. ing plant in the summer, for like the man who aroused the suspicion o the satyr, this room blows heat ant cold. There are also various store rooms in the basement.
 The class rooms on the second floor are capable of accommodating 1000 bible students. Something more may nere De Sald of the vestibule which is more than a mere place to stand and wait. It is large enough and well appointed enough for . reading room, to which purpose il will be devoted on week days.
 If one who had never heard o indirect lighting should look around even carefully, in the day time. h, would come to the conclusion tha no arrangement had been made fol night service. for there are no lamp. visible. But touch of a buttor floods the building with light at nigh and only the light is visible, not tn, source of it. From the outside. how. ever, there appears from every win dow a yellow glow.
 The windows of the second floo are of beautiful stained glass. Al the floors of this story are coyere,
