. A history of old Pine street; being the record of an hundred and forty years in the life of a colonial church. WILLIAM NORTHAn active Trustee of the present Board. Pastorate of Hughes Oliphant Gibbons. 285 the part of the congregation, or of self-reliance andcareful saving on the part of the Board of Trustees. The improvements and renovations made in thechurch in 1868 for the Centennial had been ex-tensive and costly, but after thirteen years therewas much repair needed. The trustees were menwho believed in keeping up with the advantages ofthe day. Unfortunately, the church had been hope-lessly altered from its colonial interior by the utili-tarians and comfort-seekers of the middle of thecentury. It was the part of wisdom, then, havinga modern church interior, to enjoy the advantages ofmodern art and decoration. So, in the summer of1886, the interior of the church received the beautifuldecoration which remains to this day; and the stainedglass memorial windows. These improvements costalmost eight thousand five hundred dollars. The Sun-day-School and Lecture Rooms have several timesbeen repainted, and twice carpeted during the presentpastorate.
