It is a very handsome structure, and reflecta especial credit on the flnancial management, which has been under the supervisión of Prof. E. Olney, U Indefatigftble workcr. The foilowing thorough descriptton we take from the Daily News of Wednesday evening: "The structure was begun in the fall of 1879 and ampie time has been given to do the work in the most thorough and substautial nianner. The church is built of granite and sand-stonc, with freestone trimuiingg. In shape it is of cruciform Latin cross style. The plan is gothic, and has an elevatlon proper of 64 feet by 50 feet in width, with 80 feet trancepts, and is 100 feet deep. lts belfry is of the English gothic order, and remarkably neat and tasty. The windows are of the handsomest patterns of stained glass and of colors easy and plcasing to the eye. The interior is llnished with black ask and black walnut trlnimings, the whole being flnished in oil. The decorative trimmings are made from the faniOHS cedar of Lebanon and wood from the Mount of Olives, in connection with American red cedars, the first ever used for the purpose. The wainscotting is of Norway pine, capped with black walnut. The pews are made of red oak, with paueled end of black walnut with trimmings of the latter also. The gallery is of new and uuique form of the horse-shoe cast, rising graduully on each side from the pulpit, and meeting in front of the house at an elevation of 8 feet higher than the pulpit, every s.eat facing the pulpit. The interior of the roof is of gothic form, and laid in what is known as three-quarter pitch, handsomely decorated in half-open roof style, with black ash and black walnut trimmings. The frescoing embellishments are done in wliat is understood as flat work, light lavender and blue colors principally being used. In front and facing the altar is a rose window, 14 feet in diameter, of stained glass, and baving an open bible in the center. The windows of the trancepts are of the same pattern, and 7 feet in diani; eter. The pulpit is flnishcd in Eastlake style, with a portable stage containing a bapüsmal font movable by means of a crank in an adjoining apartment. At the rear of the pulpit is the organ gallery, arranged to accommodate a large choir and an immense organ. At the rlght and left of the pulpit are the pastors study and robing room. The carpeting is of super Ingrata, a mild crimson interspersed with lavender and black to relieve its monotony of color. The gas nxtures number 8 in the body proper with 9 burners each. The 2 corona chandeliers, which are fine indeed, have 12 lighU. Besides this in odd places are are 20 other single lights, burners with with cream glass alindes. From the rightof the altar a stairway descends to the basement, in which are four bible class rooms, which can all be opened into one, chapel, dining room, kitchen and f urnace, with all the usual necessary conveuiences of a well ordered private house. Quite a large portion of the furnishings, such as carpets, dishes, etc., were all contributed by liberal hearted ladies, whose hands are ever found in zealous, faithful service.
