Text Appearing Before Image:
of Christian liberality to sucha spirit. Rev. Dr. Lawrence is the rector. FIFTH AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Is situated corner of Fifth Avenue and Fifty-fifthstreet, and in point of beauty and grandeur is unsur-passed by any church edifice in this city. It is con-structed of New Jersey stone, has four immensetowers, the principal one of which, with its spire, risesto a height of 300 feet, and is the highest in the coun-try. The style of the exterior is early English, theinterior having a more modern appearance. The audi-torium affords a seating accommodation for 2,000 peo-ple, and its acoustic properties are said to be the mostperfect. Particular attention wTas also given to itsproper ventilation; one of the towers, being hollowfrom top to bottom, forms an air-shaft down whichthe air is drawn by a fan in the cellar, worked by asteam-engine of nominally two-horse power. Thepews, gallery fronts, and all the interior wood-work ismade of polished ash. Rev. Dr. John Hall is the min-ister.
