Make Your

ing minor architectural defects
through the house, such as a diff.
cult corner at one end of the room
too low or too high a ceiling.
Let's look upward and take stock
OF the ceiling. If it is too low it can
be increased in height by using a
white or paler shade of the same
color Of paper as that used in the
walls. A pale ceiling improves the
natural lighting; dark colors absorb
more light and these warm colors
lower the apparent height of the
room. Striped patterns used on the
walls horizontally will also lower
the ceiling, a smart trick for a
smart, staccatto type room. Verti-
cal stripes have just the opposite
effect and give room a tall look.
On the market now are handsome
wood-like papers that would be lust
right for lowering ceiling height.
as is fabric-type design on light
toned paper.
Lower Molding
Still another method of making
the overtall room seem better pro-
portioned is by lowering the mold
ing to about IL to IS inches from
the ceiling, or by constructing
deep valance or cornice covered
with paper to match the rest of the
room. Besides being a good trick,
this treatment is extremely smart
and attractive.
Ceiling beams, so oft encountered
in modern city apartments, may
seem a blemish at first, but they
can be turned into an asset at a
small outlay. Cover the beams or
even the entire ceiling with paper
stimulating wood. very good with
Jacobean or Early American furni-
ture.
Dainty Bedroom
A dainty bedroom becomes veri-
table garden bower if the beams are
plain colored and the intervening
spaces papered with pastel floral
wall paper. No room. unless custom
designed, ever completely satisfied
its owner. There are either too many
inches and logs or too many I'M
broken areas. Wallpaper, well ham
died, can be the means of tying
these joys into the main center or
is equally successful in creating ar
tificial divisions, making for good
eye-foolers.
Alcoves can be turned into inter-
esting and attractive hooks by pa
per which is complete contrast
from the rest of the room. If there
is no alcove where you would like
one, the illusion can be achieved
with contrasting paper or by setting
off portion of the wall with panels
Il wood-like paper. Such tricks are
especially good in small rooms and
lend charm and distinction.

place but CAN'T, try for the same
sort of friendly cosy conversation
place by grouping two or three
chairs informally around a scenic
wall in an otherwise muted room.
Or you can make believe you're near
a garden Just by covering one wall
with scenic garden design or with
an ivy type or garden flower paper.
1t all takes careful planning, of
course. Colors must be right, de-
signs must be right. But with this
proviso, you can prove yourself a
clever magician performing mira
cles of illusion if you'll follow these
and other simple wallpaper tricks.

vices in the home of Deacon
John Harvey. Then and there
we decided that, by the help
of God, we would build a
church: a place in which to
worship, a place from which
we could tell forth "the old,
old story of Jesus and His
love-" We had no money, no
land, but we had faith in God,
and chose for our motto =
FAITH IS THE VICTORY"
Thank God, our prayer has
been marvelously answered!
our dream has materialized!
AS the bells 'Fring out the old
and ring in the new" we shall
be singing praises to God in
our new church home!
During the first ten months,
$4,000 poured into Gods
Storehouse. Many friends out
side of our immediate group
had a part in this, and for
their generous help we are
truly grateful. Last Spring,
when we found a choice loca-
ton, at reasonable price, for
our church building, we con-
tacted Headquarters, and were
pleasantly surprised to receive
a check in the amount of $500
to cover the entire cost of the
building site.
Our building has been con-
structed under very trying cir
cumstances, but God has been
with us, and, as we reach each
obstacle, He removed the
mountain for us. We have
found that many business men,
not processing Christianity, as
we'll as many Christian bust
ness men, have shown very
generous spirit toward the
construction of the church
building. This has helped bring
the work to a speedy compile
tion-and at a cost several
thousand dollars less than it
would otherwise have requir-
ed.
Our church home is sixty

feet long by thirty-six feet
wide. It has a full basement,
with a fine heating plant, two
lavatories, kitchen, and a large
hall or social room. The main
floor has one Bible School
room, choir room, and study,
as we'll as the church audi
forum which will seat over
$50 persons. It has an aisle in
the center, and one on each
side.
The building-with it's wide
white lapsiding, amber glass
windows, and glass-brick cross
in the front-blends beauti-
fully into the neighborhood
architecture.
We have named our church,
ZION GOSPEL CHAPEL; and
it is our prayer that the Cos
pel-the Glad Tidings of Re-
deeming Love, the Light of
Christ's Glorious Salvation
will radiate from this, Gods
workhouse. By the grace and
help of God, and through the
sacrifices of the people of the
Michigan City Branch, as we'll
as by the help of Zion at Head
quarters, and the assistance of
others, this "Power Station"
has been erected.
Truly, "ALL THINGS WORK
TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO
THEM WHO LOVE AND
SERVE GOD"
On the evening of Deem
Der oath we had a fine Christ
mas program in our new
church, which was attended
by about forty persons. The
building is now nearing it's
completion and we are looking
forward to having the Dedi-
cation Service on January Is,
1913. We extend a hearty well
come to all Officers, Members,
and Friends of the CHRIS
TIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
to visit us in Zion Gospel Cha
pei, home of the Michigan
City Branch. Pray for us as we
work toward the extension of
the Kingdom of God in Michi-
gan City. MAY GOD BLESS
