Bishop Heber's words as applied to the

scarcely be applied to the North Church

will add greatly to the convenience
and comfort of our ladies when serving
suppers. A dumb-waiter is being in
stalled from the basement to the vesti-
bule, SO that future suppers can all be

are being built and the rooms in the base
ment are to be decorated. Mr. Morey is
in charge of the work.
