On the 8th of July, 1885, this Parish began the work of extending and remodeling the church building. It is now finished and paid for. A tower has been erected and 12 feet added to the length of the church; also a gallery with capacity for seating fifty persons. The interior now presents an exceedingly pleasant and attractive appearance. The roof is open, ceiled with pine, oiled. The new chancel organ room is divided by Gothic arches; the walls are a pleasant drab tint; the lighting is by four double lancet windows on each side of the nave, filled with figured and colored glass. The chancel and front lights are each a triplet of lancet windows, filled with stained glass. The nave is further ornamented by two choice memorial windows. The work of this year has been full of sacrifice and perseverance. The moneys given for this work have been carefully and judiciously expended. I do not know where to go to find more satisfactory results for such a sum as the cost. The Ladies’ Aid Society has been largely instrumental in accomplishing this noble work.
