Church of ST. Peter Claver: The
| interior of the church has been reno
waited almost entirely, the decorations
and fixtures giving it the appearance
OF an altogether new structure. The
main and the two side affairs, COM
munion rail, credence table, sanctuary
lamp, and baptismal font are new, all
finished in ivory and old gold and spc-
Cially designed to harmonic with the
simple Roman style of the church.
The affairs find a suitable setting in
the dainty and artistic decoration of
the walls and ceiling in delicate tints,
the shading of the pilasters around
the affairs and the panels between the
windows in the auditorium being par
ticularly effective. The GROWING
beauty of the decorative work and on
which the design centers is the mural
in oil in the sanctuary depicting the
ascension of Christ, very capable
effort of Mr.. Joseph Lalonde, recently
from the studios in New York. A
ceiling light with reflector heightens
the effect of this painting especially
in the gloom of the evening The
Stations of the Cross in Roman style

Company supplied the fixtures.
