SATURDAY EVENING. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 8, 1916.
WORK STARTS AT
COVENANT CHURCH
Improvements Will Make Edi
fice One of Best Equipped
Uptown
Work has been started on improve
ments to Covenant Presbyterian
Church. Fifth and Peffer streets, which,
| when finished, will make of the church |
one of the most completely equipped j
and attractive church edifices of the |
upper end of town. The remodeling
j and additions include the transfor
mation of the church exterior from
j its present material to tapestry brick
1 and economy concrete: galleries will
; be opened above the Sunday school j
I room, making nine additional class- j
rooms to accommodate the ever- i
increasing attendance; the organ will j
be moved back six feet to enable the i
choir to reorganize more effectively, i
I and the floor of the church will be!
! put back to its original level: a mod- j
; em sanitary basement will be opened (
up and devoted exclusively to social I
\ purposes; there will be a 32x65 gym- j
i nasium for basketball, handball and '
other indoor exercises, two regulation I
i bowling alleys and a modern kitchen, j
! The tennis court will be put in shape
I for the summer's tournaments and it j
lis estimated t tint the whole will be!
completed before the end of summer.
This move on the part of the Rev. |
: Harvey Klaer and his congregation is
! but the first action in a big campaign |
j with a view to building eventually a
I magnificent new edifice when the
financial condition of the church per-
I mits. Careful management and gen
erous support has but recently cleared
! the church of debt, with a goodly sur
plus in the treasury, and the church is
in lino shape to handle the improve
ments which have been inaugurated
this week. The contract calls for
$15,000 to carry out the work planned,
! not including windows, partitions, heat.
I light and other essentials, but it is j
I estimated that the total cost will reach |
820,000 before Ihe improvements now 1
1 under way are completed.

Fathers and others
That little child of yours—there is nothing within
your power which will make for its welfare that you
will ne gleet, is there? Already, so early in life,you
are planning and constructing so that its life may be
one step IH advance of the advantages which you en
joyed. And it is right that it is so.
But the child s material welfare is of so much less
importance than its spiritual. Learning by the exam
ple which the parent# set forth, parenthood becomes a
phase of life extremely important.
What better example can parents set forth than to
lead the child through their own example to the
church, its doctrines, its principles. The teachings of
the church are the fundamental teachings of life, the
teachings which will make your boy or girl in the
world what you have hoped them to be. In setting
forth the examples you wish to have them follow,
don t forget this most important of all.
