Church Enlargement

The Church of Ascension is being, Jenlarged. The front wall has been taken down, and the building is be-jing extended to at.least twice its [former capacity. This beautiful [building—a Gothic Church built of frabble—with its quietly severe interior, and its reverently designed chancel' and altar of plain granite, sometimes affords a welcome relief Sundays from the noise and publicity of the union service in the Kuling Charch. Its enlargement was necessary. Until it is completed, services are being held in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Another new stone church has arisen in Hyke's Valley. This is ithe Roman Catholic Church. It is 'a curiously narrow, high building, [whose interior probably corresponds to the strangeness of its outward design.

The new Post Office is finished jand in working order. Its long counter, with brass grille and properly labelled departments, forms a marked contrast with the little shanty, outside whose window on had to wait to do business last year.

is a building of hewn stone complete, and all its windows are barred with iron, so that it must be the strongest and most burglar-proof building in Kuling. But the sorting fand delivery of the letters is still badly done, and probably this is inevitable so long as the present Jconfusion exists with regard house numbers.
