_ Baptist Church at Manchester to be Thoroughly 
Renovated and Equippedr fo Larger Service. 
At a special business meeting of the 
First Baptist church, Manchester, last 
evening, it was voted to adopt the plans 
of the Prudential committee, relative to 
enlarging the church, and making 
necessary improvements. 
The Baptist church has been entirely 
inadequate to the growing needs of 
Manchester, and a movement was started 
this last June to remodel the church and 
make it up-to-date in all its equipment. 
The plans have now been perfected and 
were accepted by the church and the 
work authorized, last evening. 
A brief description of the work to be 
done is as follows: An addition is to 
be built on the rear of the present church 
"about 21 feet by 21 feet. This will 
have two stories anda basement. The 
upper story will provide room for organ 
and choir, cloak room for choir, hall 
way and pastor's room at the rear of the 
organ. A beautiful open baptistery will 
_be built in the present pulpit platform 
eight feet by four feet, with a water 
depth of thirty-six inches. Entrance to 
this baptistery will be from behind the 
choir rail, the central panel of which 
will be removed when there are to be 
baptisms. 
The lower story of the addition will 
contain a kitchen, toilet room, ladies’ 
room, Sunday School library, and kin- 
dergarden room. In the basement there 
will be installed the new boiler which 
will heat by steam the entire church 
building. 
The six windows in the main audito- 
rium and also the two windows in the 
hall are to be memorial windows. Seven 
_ of the windows have already been taken 
__and the other one will be taken soon. 
In the front of the church there will be a 
‘large palladian window and the other 
windows will have ornamental cappings. 
The front doors of the church are to be 
_ of oak. 
A new pipe organ will be placed in 
the organ space at the rear of the pulpit, 
_and the old organ and choir gallery will 
_ be removed, making the audience room 
alittle more roomy. 
Howard A. Doane, who submitted 
_ the lowest bid, has .been selected to 
_ make the addition to the building and to 
gmake all other changes that are neces- 
_ Sary, including the decorating, etc. 
The Estey Organ Company-has been 
selected to build the organ. It will

_ Letters: remaining unclaimed at Manchester, 
contain 567 pipes, and ten speaking 
stops beside the mechanical attachments, 
and will be blown by an electric blower. 
The organ case is to be of quartered 
oak with gilt pipes. The organ will be 
of exceptionally beautiful tone and _ thor- 
oughly up-to-date in all appointments. 
It will have instead of the old arrange- 
ments of stops, the Haskell Patent Key 
Stop Action. The action of the organ 
is tubular pneumatic. 
The steam heating plant, will be put 
in by Edward S. Bradley, and Mr. 
Goodhue of Cambridge, is the memorial 
window artist. The architect who has 
drawn up the plans is George F. New- 
ton of Beacon street, Boston. 
The general color scheme of the main 
audience room will be white and gray 
green. All paint will be white, and the 
walls tinted a gray green. A warm red 
Brussels carpeting will be used in the 
pulpit and choir and for treads in the 
aisles. When completed the church 
will be one of the handsomest churches 
in New England, and a good type of 
colonial or Georgian architecture. 
The work of improving the building 
has met with the kind approval and gen- 
erous help of many of our prominent 
summer residents. [he members of 
the church are contributing well towards 
the work. The cost of the whole work 
including the organ and the new heating 
plant will be in the neighborhood of 
$8000.

New International Dictionary. 
The G. & C. Merriam Company of 
Springfield, Mass., have just issued 
Webster’ s New International Dictionary, 
based on the International of 1890 and 
1900. ‘The revision has been so radical 
and complete as to constitute a new 
book. The work has been in active 
preparation for many years, by a large 
staff of experts, assisted by the contribu- 
tions of eminent specialists, under the 
general supervision of Dr. W, T. Har- 
ris, recent U. S§. Commissioner of Edu- 
cation. The number of words and 
phrases defined has been greatly in- 
creased, mainly from the fresh coinage 
of recent years both in popular speech 
and in the various arts and_ sciences. 
The revival of early English studies is 
recognized by such an inclusion of ob- 
solete words as to give a key to English 
literature from its earliest period. The 
title-words in the vocabulary are more 
than doubled in comparison with the old 
International, now exceeded 400,000. 
The number of illustrations is increased 
to over 6000. The book contains more 
than 2700 pages. But the publishers 
desire to emphasize the quality rather 
than the quantity of the work, calling at- 
tention especially to the thorough schol- 
arship in all departments and the fullness 
of information under important titles. 
By ingenious methods of typography and 
arrangement, the increased amount of 
matter is contained within a single vol- 
ume, not perceptibly larger than its pre- 
decessor, and no less convenient for the 
hand and eye.
