Meadows secretary and general man ager of the plant which has a capital stock of SI00,000. Thousands and thousands of brick were used in the construction of the Central Methodist church building and it is substantial in every detail, the pastor and building committee had an eye always awake to a struc ture that will stand the ages. The art lass windows for the Cen tral Methodist church building in Shelby aff*'lielng made by the George Hardy Payne Studios at Patterson, New Jersey und these windows will be a great feature of this magnifi cent religious edifice. The windows will have beautiful designs of Biblical scenes which will add to the solemn ity and sacredness of the building. The buildine committee selected the are glass windows with great care and are having them made under special suggestions so that they will be. distinctive. The triple window facing the court square on the West shows Christ in an inviting attitude, under which are the words “Come Unto M»." The other triple window faring East Marion street on tiie North shows Christ as the tender sbenherd. The Ceorge Hardy Pavne Studios not only make beautiful art glass windows hut speenlize in memorial windows, bronze tablets and interior decorations from original studies.

New Church Edifice Advertises Shelby That certainly is a fine looking church building for this size town,” the remack in one form or another was made by many tourists and mo torists passing through Shelby during the summer and early autumn. The handsome new building is not only located on a corner of the town’s his toric “court square”, but faces to the north on State Highway No. 20, one of The heaviest trSTPleft .routes in North Carolina. Few motorists, if any, passing through the town fail to notice the building, and usually when they stop another block w so up town to inquire about directions to Asheville, Spartanburg, Hender sonville or Chimney Rock they ask about the church. Shelby i<-, widely known as the county seat of one of the greatest agricultural counties in the South and as the home of a number of prom inent men, but nowadays it is also becoming- known as a leading “church! town" and a beautiful church edifice ! in keeping with those of larger cities ■ does not detract from this reputa tion. J. M. McMiehael who drew the! plans for the Gothic style of archi tecture and made all the specifications for the Central Methodist church of Shelby makes a specialty of church work. Rev. A. L. Stanford, pastor of Central Methodist church says, Mc Michael is one of the best architects for church work I have ever known.” Mr. Stanford ought to know because he is a building pastor. Wherever the Conference sends him he usually builds a church or parsonage or both. It is understood that Mr. McMiohaels has drawn plans for over 400 church buildings oi all denominations, yet - this ip-rud t ha frill yxton t of his work. Many of the handsomest store build ings were designed and planned by him so his reputation for good work got the Central Methodist church.
