appoint building and finance com

full charge of the matter and pro-
ceed with the work as soon as so
per cent. of the funds have been
subscribed.
A large part of the congregation
was present at the meeting last
night to discuss the matter
The addition is to be a church
house where all activities of the
church can be carried on, including
the various church societies and
clubs which win hold their meetings
in the now house when completed.
The new structure will occupy a
portion of the Martin Lane estate.

and extends from Thirteenth street

length Of the church. 1t is planned
to erect an addition to the parish
