Church Cost $40,000 The church building, which is con-| [, ’structer of a buff colored brick, trim-* med with white “All Stone,” manu- ■ faotured by the Acker Cement company of this city, represents an ex- ( penditure, including the site and furnishings of approximately $40,000 *• With the exception of SIS,OOO, all of this amount has been paid and a half-! „ dozen members of the congregation! f have already signified a willingness' b to pledge $7,000 of this amount. At 1 ; meeting of the board was held lasti s evening and pledges for this amounti 5 were obtained from those who wish-) ed to give. During the Sunday pro-< ‘grant a pledge service ill be held and it is hoped that sufficient pledges will be obtained’so that. the__ church ’ can be dedicated free of debt. Os Corinthian Style i The new edifice is of the Corfpthian style of architecture, the four large columns in front of the church, giving it a most imposing appearance. The church is 42 by 70 feet by about ( 35 feet in heighth. The church faces! Second street and steap s from the! street lead to the vestibule. Oscar! 3 Hoffman, local architect was the de-[ | signer of the church and C. N. Chris-[ | ten and company were the contrac-. - tors. i The Interior » As one enters the church he is I greeted with a harmony of design that ! is keeping with the beauty o's the exterior. The wood work is finished in rich mahogany tones, as are the, chairs in the main auditorium. The windows lighting the auditorium are of high artistic merit. Those on the south, tell in beautiful symbolism the story of the Passion. Death and Resurrection of the Savior. Those on the north illustrate incidents from His life. To the left of the chancel is the ■ pastor’s study and choir room and to ! the right, the church library. Looking west from the chaneel is the balcony. The rooms under the balcony are arranged so that they can be shut out from the main auditorium. The i t crowning touch to the whole ensemble! is the beautiful Mamed ceiling. In; the rear of the chancel is the baptistry. On either side of the baptistry • are robing rooms. Many people from.

History of Church ! The Christian church of Decatur' i was organized in March. 1881, the ! Rev. Myron Gleason, being the first • pawtor. The first house of worship • was purchased from the Methodist 1 t church and was located at the cor-’ < ner of Jackson and First streets, the, . site of the old high school gymnasium.!
