FALLS CHURCH, Va., April 3.— | Just as it stood when George Wash- ington was vestryman there, Old Falls Church has emerged again from the ravages of time—pews and altar as | immaculate as of yore, arched win- dows, fvy-covered brick and tombs and y trees outside. It served the | Nation as recruiting quarters in the { Revolution. Union soldlers sheltered horses and hospitalized their wound- ed there, and the clash of steel nicked its windows and cornices. Then time dragge¢ the old place down, and the owls roosted within its sepulchral confines. After years that i seemed unending devoted hands | fought away the rust and ruin. These { devotees passed on, and new han | 1aid hold the brush and trowel.

The work was accomplish- ed by the guild of the church and in time for the services this Easter. Erected in 1768.

There are white wainscoting, @ chancel plat- form the width of the building, a massive white altar, and back of this a wall paneled in white and plain- ly but handsomely carved. The side and front walls are tinted a light tan, the ceiling fvory. There are two rows of windows with small panes, the lower rectangular, the upper fin- ished in half circles. The sashes and frames are white, There are two double doors, one to the west, the other to the south. In Summertime the upper windows on the south look forth on the green of giant tulip poplars, and on the of Two Great Wars Sheltered and Succored Men and Horses, Restored. 4, <390 CHURCH OF OLD “FALLS” PARISH DRESSED IN COLONIAL BEAUTY Worshipped and Soldiers | munificence. of Lienry Iafrfax; have been Bishop Horatl Rev.
