NEWS OF PULPIT AND
HOPE TO OPEN
NEW CHURCH ON
EASTER OF 1917
Messiah Congregation Plans
I'lira-Modern Extension
of Edifice
faster, 1917, will be a gala day ex
traordinary at Messiah Lutheran
church.
That's the Jay. according to Luther
jVlinter, chairman of the building com
mittee upon which the uptown con
gregation hopes to formally open the!
proposed new church.
Within the next two weeks bids will !
I>e opened and the contract awarded |
lor the construction of the big ex
tension to Messiah church as planned
by A. A. Riteher, one of Reading's
noted architects. Work will be start
ed. it is hoped, soon after April 1, and
within a year the building committee
and the congregation expect to have
t lie brand new structure ready for
worship.
Some of the Features
At least a column could be easily
written about the proposed structure'
but some of the facts and figures of!
dimensions, interior decorations, new
ideas in ventilating, lighting, etc.. which j
were explained by Mr. Winter yester- i
day may give briefly some idea of
what the structure will be.
Acting with Mr. Minter on thej
building committee are the Rev. Hen- ;
ry W. A. Hanson, the pastor. Prof. J. j
.1. Brehm, A. G. Murray, 11. U. G.
Ilaertter and W. J. Collier. For some
months the congregation had been |
figuring on the building problem and
now, lo quote Mr. Minter—"Messiah i
church has finally decided to go ahead i
and we hope to give Harrisburg one of ■
the most modern structures of wor-1
ship in this section."
The Great Bel!
The extension will cover the entire I
space which now constitutes the lawn
of the church at Forster and Sixth i
streets —a building 110 feet by 60
feet. Concrete foundations with stone
trimmings, either of granite or mar
ble, will finish the structure. At the
southwest corner a handsome loggia
and bell tower will top off the build- j
ing. Here incidentally will be hung
t lie great bell of Messiah—the bell
that has called the uptown Lutherans!
to worship for more than fifty years.
The proposed extension will be oc
cupied largely by the main auditor
ium of the church. The pulpit will be
at the extreme north end and the main
entrance will be on Forster street with
;i side entrance on Sixth street
through the loggia.
The Lighting and lloating
To the right of the pulpit will be j
the choir loft and choir room, an ar- i
rangement unique in its character so;
far as the relation of choir and pul
pit is concerned, in local churches. '
A handsome new $5,000 pipe organ j
u ill be a feature of the furnishings, j
The lighting system will be novel for
local ehuciies, an indirect system of
electric illumination having been j
planned. Incidentally the blower in
direct heating and ventilating system I
will be installed. By this system the !
.-iir in brought through the rear of the !
church and passed over steam heat j
pipes to be heated before being pump- I
< d into the main church for refreshing!
the air. In the summer time the'
same air may be cleansed and cooled
by pumping it through a fine spray ;
of water in the cellar. Another fea- j
ture of the auditorium furnishings
will be the installation of an accous- 1
t icon system In the last few rows of j
pews. By this means the worshiper
uho is a trifle hard of hearing may
step into the pew. attach one of the
tiny to ear and hear the min
ister with perfect ease.
Tlic Open Court
The space between the present;
structure and the extension will be j
onvevted into an eight-foot court. By!
this plan the light can be directed
right into both the new main auditor
ium anil the old church room by broad 1
windows. The present church by the j
way will be converted into a big Sun
lay school room with a dozen or more j
lass rooms branching off from it.
The pipe organ now in service there
will ve removed and a piano will be
installed for the Sunday school ser
vices.
The social room will be located in
the basement of the new extension, a
feature of which will be a modernly
•■quipped kitchen in the south end.
Some day in the years to come per
haps. Messiah will convert the pres
ent parsonage building on the north
end of the lot into modern social cen
ter quarters. At present, however,
i he social activities of the church will
be confined to the pretty basement
room.

Lutheran Church, Thirteenth and Thompson streets, just completed at a j

ties will accommodate many new members.

"BILLY" SUNDAY
MEETS CARDINAL
;
Baseball Is Link Between Pre- j
lates of Old and New
Gospel
Baltimore. March 4. —Two men
whose names are probably known
j wherever the English language is
spoken had a nice little chat in North
Charles street yesterday, and their
chief topic of conversation was—base
ball.
They were James Cardinal Gibbons,
by seniority and popular acclaim head
of the Catholic Church in America,
and the Rev. "Billy" Sunday, evan
gelist. The one represents the oldest
branch of the Christian faith, standing
for conservatism, ritualism and creed;
the other preaches an up-to-date, vir
ile Gospel—a religion with a "kick."
But they found one subject at least ,
on which they were in perfect accord,
for they are both enthusiastic baseball
fans and they had a pleasant chat over j
"old times" in the baseball world.
i They talked of "Pop" Anson, of
"Muggsy" McGraw, of "Hughie"
| Jennings and of the famous Oriole
champions of 20 years ago.
j Sunday has always been un admirer
of the Cardinal and had oft6n ex
pressed fl wish to members of his fam- \
! ily that he might swine day have an \
opportunity lo meet him.
1 Mrs. Sunday kept the wish in mind
and told Dr.. Kelly that Mr. Sunday
wished to meet his Eminence. Dr. j
Kelly at once wrotj to the Cardinal
'asking if he would receive Mr. Sun
! day. In reply came a courteous note
i from the prelate, inviting the inter-,
view and setting the time.
The Cardinal recalled that "Billy"
I had been a. ball player. "It has been
! a long time since I saw a game," he i
I added.
"Well," said "Billy." "it's been a
long time since I played a professional j
game, but 1 try to keep in form by!
playing with the boys when I'm 1
home."

if you seek the truths of right eousness taught every
Sunday in the Christian Church.
