A perfect church.

This church, located on the Dartmouth campus and built in 1771, struck me as a perfect architectural expression of Protestant religion.

I love the simple hymn numbers. 230 is familiar:
All glory, laud, and honor,
to thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.

When this church was "gathered" in 1771, it was Congregational. It's now United Church of Christ.
