The new Tionesta Presbyterian church
is rapidly neariug completion, and, when
liu.slied, win tie a positive exemplifies.
lion of all that is most beautiful aud
pleasing in church architectural design.
rne congregation and menus will bave
Just reason lo feel proud over tbe final ac
coiuplisbment or tbeir purposes and
hopes in tbe completion of this creditable
edifice of public wortbip. Tbe town is
to be cougratulaled upon this latest ad
dition to its already commendable list of
public buildings. It is probably no ex
aggeration, and only stating a conceded
fact, to say tbat in ber church edifices
Tionesta is now probably more favored
than any otber town of the same size in
tbe state, three modern church edifices
having been finished in tbe town within
a vear.
Tbe work of razing the old edifice upon
the siteof which tbe new one is built,
was begun on September 8th of last year,
ana tms ween win witness tbe coin pie-
lion of the new one. The style of the
structure is modern Gothic, witb Dinner
ous projections and a tower so blending in
its design as to produce the most pleasing
ellect. The material is pressed red brick
witn light gray stone trimmings over toe
arches, doorways and windows. Tbe
building faces upon Elm street fifty feet
aud runs back from that street one hun
dred feot. The main entrance is at tbe
southeastern corner and leads into a ves
tibule twelve feet square, wbicb is laid in
green and white tile. Leading from this
vestibule are two entrances into the audi
torium, one of wbicb opens to the right
ana tne other directly in trout. Toe bu
ditorium is thirty by forty-two feet in
size, with a seating capacity of about 200,
It is seated with finely polished oak seats,
circular in arrangement, aud elevated
from tbe rear, facing the pulpit and choir
loft looking north. The view from tbe
seats is easy aud tbe acoustic properties
of the room are perfect. Tbe walls are
circular in shape, surmounted by a hand
some dome in three parts aud art glass
lights. The pulpit and floors are in high
ly polished oak. In general, tbe furnish
ings and arrangements of tbe room leaye
nothing to be desired by tbe most crili-
ical. Everything is strictly modern in
design aud conception, and harmonious
in tone and effect.
Tbe main Sabbath School room, 30x50
feet in size, is located immediately west
of tbe auditorium. This room has two
openings from tbe auditorium and an
outside entrance through a vestibule on
the south side of tbe building. One of
the openings from the auditorium is
twelve feet in size, permitting tbe use ol
the room to increase tbe sealing capacity
tor aervlces In the main auditorium
This opening Is closed by a very ingeol
ously arranged decorated curtain, so con'
structed as to be lilted without noise or
confusion. Twelve separate class rooms
open from this main Sabbath school
room, six of which are located on tbe first
floor, and six upon tbe second floor. But
two of these class rooms are entirely sep
arated from tbe main room, that for the
Bible class and one for tbe infant class,
Ar. easy stairway leads from tbe side ves
tibule to the class rooms on the second
tloor. Tbe main room for the school, as
well as tbe clans rooms, are grained In
Quartered iiolden oak.
The pastor's study and reception room
is conveniently located to the roar of the
cboir loft. I Ins room will be appropri
ately furnished and Is, as it should be.
one of the most comfortable in the entire
building. Above the main vestibule, in
tbe tower, a small room bas been nicely
nnished, the entrance to wblon is by stair
way from the vestibule.
No part of tbe entire structure has been
more carefully or Judiciously planned
than tbe basement, and this shows very
commendable zeal and Intelligence upon
the part of the church authorities. In the
basement are locatod a large general re
ception room, a kitchen, tbe beating com
partments, and separate lavatories and
toilet rooms for ladies and gentlemen.
The kitchen is furnished with a gas
range, shelving and oabinets, and all ueo
essary apparatus for cooking and serving
at church suppers. The general room is
furnished with every facility for the re
ception of friends and tbe service of such
suppers, there being several large port
able tables. H e boating compartment
is provided with an automatic steam
heater. In short there seems to be noth
ing left In this important department lo
be desired. Tbe basement is 80x50 feet
in size snd Is finished iu natural Georgia
pine and bas a cement tloor.
Messis. Cbarlos A Bailey, the well
known architects of Oil City, designed
the building and tbe contract was award -ed
to Mr. S. L. By bam, of Kane, Pa., wbo
has faithfully pushed the building to
completion since beginning the work last
September. The building eoinmlttee.oon
sisting of Messrs. G. W. Robinson, A. B.
Kelly, A. C. Brown, S S. Slgworth, Clias.
Clark, and W. F. KHImer, have worked
together harmoniously and the result Is
all that our people could desire.
The Interior decorations were done In
oil by W. H. Kohl, of Oil City, and the
prevailing color is old ivory, blending
into darker shades, terminating in an
ecru base with a grape vine frieze of em
hlematic Biblical significance. The ceil
ing and side walls are embellished witb a
delicate tinted border, harmonizing with
a color scheme of the most resttul and
pleasing ellect.
The work of painting and graining the
interior wood work and the finishing of
the hardwood floors in both the auditor
ium and Sunday school rooms was done
by our townsman, G. F. Rodda, wbo Is a
finished artist in such work. His work
on this contract is first class in every re
spect and reflects great credit ou his
ability,

terance of the Master, "Suffer little

the close of day He leads His flock to tbe
sheepfold. On His arm He bears tenderly
tbe little lambs on which bis loving gaze
is bent. This window bears the inscrip
tion, "Rev. John V. McAnincb, Pastor
1889-1902." Tbat tender admonition ol
the Saviour, "Behold I Stand at the Door
and Knock," has been selected for the
fourth or "May memorial," and here
again is shown the great love of the Mas
ter, wbo will not wait for men to come to
Him, but comes himself to them, aud
only asks them to receive Him. This
window lears the inscription, "Kev. Hez
ekiab May, 1773-18411, Margaret While
May, 1782 1808. While the figure sections
of these windows, teaching as they do
such beautiful lessons, will of course re
ceive the greater part of the beholder's
attention, it is worthy of note that the
makers bave not lost sight of the Idea of
harmony and symmetry in the whole,
and they bave utilized the upper panel of
all tbe windows to display designs of
chaste ornamentation executed in bo ft
rich colors, wbicb mellow tbe light in tbe
auditorium, and bring to one a feeling of
rest and quiet peace,
Tbe windows were designed and man
ufactured bv G. C. Riordan A Co.. of
Cincinnati, Ohio. The Slow window is
furnished by Edgar Stow and Mrs. Ida
Gariick, both of Cincinnati. Tbe Robin

The auditorium is beautified by several
art glass windows, in which are depicted
scenes snd incidents of sacred history,
and which have been taken as memorials
by various families of the church. The

as regular pastor and served the church
fur about two and one-naif years, giving
two-thirds of bis time to the Tionesta
church and the remainder to Pleasant-
vllle. His pastorate was blessed of God.
and a goodly number were received into
tbe church on profession of luith. The
pastorate of Rev. Hammer closed March,
1858, and was fallowed by a period of
three years during which time no records
ol tbe cburcu are avanaoie. in ism, nay.
R. C. Allison became pastor and re
matned two years, after which, with the
exception of Hie services of Rev. Andrew
Virtue, giving out oue-tniru oi nis time,
from 1801) to 1H71, the church was supplied
only irregularly by the Presbytery until
January, 1875. In 1875, Kev. Wm. Kill
ott was called to the pastorate for one-half
time. Owing to tne ravages ot tbe Civil
war and by many removals the cburch
suffered very materially, but with the
coming of Rev. Elliott the prospects be
gan to brighten. '1 here being no ruling
elders at ihis time Mr. H. If. Stevenson,
of Oil City, was invited to assist tbe pastor
in tbe reception oi new members, aud on
Jan. 0. 1875. twelve mombers were re
ceived into ihe church, some of whom re
main until this time. In April Mr. G. G.

work ot the church was wonderfully
blessed. Rev. Hlckliug severed his con
nection witb tbe church in May, 1K88, and
and is now serving a pastorate at Ray

above history were fruitful iu results, ll!3

Western Theological Seminary, was
nominated and by a unanimous vote Mr.
McAnincb was elected pastor, aud iu due
course ot time at iue close ol nis studies

McAnincb was a most pleasant one, and
of him it can be truly said, "Though he
being dead yet speaketb." He was a
man of deep sympathy, tender leelitig.
