Church Made From a Single Tree.

There is a church In Santa Rosa which enjoys the distinction of being constructed entirely from a single tree. This tree from which the timbers, shingles were cut was a giant California redwood, and a considerable.amount t|f timber wasleft over after the building was completed. It has a spire of 70 feet, an auditorium seating 500, a parlor seating 80. a pastor’s study and a large vestibule. There are not many buildings in the world in which all the timbers, including its finishings, have been obtained, from a single tree. —• From “Fifteen Thousand Miles by Stage," Carrie Adell Strahorn.
