' ? \ T- - Why Good Nouses Are Needed. " Tlie accompanying illustration shows a typical one-room church building and also an exterior view and floor plans of a modern, well-appointed \ church building, calculated to take care1 of all the needs of a church organization and costing no more than the one-room building. ? This t>''of?oHed building has many things in its favor as compared- with the one-room structure, aside* from its attractive appearance. First. It is more durable, being so constructed as to resist wind and storm; Second, it is easily heated in the winder, its vesti bule cutting out the cold wind from the entrance, while by reason of the building having several departments It is needful to heat only the department being used on those ? occasions when only a small gathering is had. Then the auditorium in the center is siif bled from the extreme- weather by the de partments surrounding it. though in the summer these surrounding depart ments can !>e opened up, giving abun dant ventilation. Again, the new build ing offers admirable quarters for the several, departments and classes of the Sunda> School, thus making the teach TnsTol* iheV Bfble a much easier" task. Then lh? social life of the congrega t Ion ran he greatly promoted by the better building, in that it affords ample quarters for church receptions, ban ijilf-ts and other affairs of this nature, enabling the church to give the young people adequate social activities under wholesome ens irouuients.
