To all intents and par» poses that meeting house is the same as new: on the inside‘ save the win- dow lights, roof trusses. we. can’t see any trace of the old room. The, slop- ing,r tloor, elegant circular seatthree sith galleries, new liaptistry. large choir loft and that magnificent organ, all brilliantly illuminated with elecâ€" tric lights makes it new.
