Beard at the South Nor-walk Congrega-
, tlonal church. Sunday, the pastor said
that the first imperative work before the
church was to pay its debt. This was es-
sential because the debt attitude in the

debt. Lately. though It was not really an,
It‘ had eeemed to come that they were
throwing their gifts over-a atone wall to
link they knew not where. Now every
one must know that. if he made hie aub-
aertptiou large enough. that was to be the
end of it. Atlt,000 debt would be prac-
tically as much in the way as $35,000.
Sixth, By not objecting to signing the
pledge proposed. Men pledged themselves
to pay definite name for rent, interest on
notes, etc., but often objected to pledging
gifts. Yet‘the only way to raise adeliaitc
sum. by quarterly payments through ll.
series. of yearn, on condition that the
whole debt he liquidated, was that each
one should pledge himself definitely.
The only reasonable objection to a pledge
—~ posaible unforeseen misfortunes in the
future—wall met by the second condition
of the pledge proposed. In the last sub-
scription to the building fllud, only thn-
ty-two of the persons who had made
come is sufficient to pay current pledges had failed in any part, and that

tel-est additional. If nothing is give something, but refused to pledge
themselves. delinitely, Ieesthan a dozen
held out for more than three or four
months of the year to give what they
started to give. The pledge. with its reg
nlar quarterly payment, was essential to
success. Seventh, By grasping the prin-
ciple of Jeans, that while ownership ill

we are His. From Him comes the .life,

who. if he baa anything at all. ban a thon-
aond dollaro to her every 3.50, subscribed—-
how much! ill a month, 812 for the year.
I don’t judge him. I simply ask, Is it
right? .
"Another,a working man. earning about
til") a week, subscribed $12 a year. A fel-
low member, down on the tax list for
nearly “0,000, subscribed—~nothing. Now
I say in all kindnesn and charity, Breth-
ren, is this right? Ought there not to be
«levelling up in this business? When
our Methodist friends were raising $30,000
for their church, one of their members
offered to girl? a dollar for every other
dollar subscribed up to “5,000. In there
no one in this church, the Congregational
church, that isnhie and willing to give
dollar for dollar up to even 810,000?
“I will ask one more question. I shall
not presume to dictate to any man of you
what your duty ill this matter to. I am
trying with God's help to do my duty. I
simply ask you also to do yours. And I
put this question to you: Judge for your-
.aelves,—~Are there not here, in this church

more easily, with less pulling alld tug-
ging, with less personal self-denial, give
$5,000 each to this $5,000, than others of
us can givetlflw? I think you will all
grant that that is a fair question for me
to put to you. for your own thought and
decision. ‘
“Brethren and feilovr members: The
whole matteris now before you. I have
said what I had to any witUlainness of

three feet from the curb. It Would go
through West avenue and North Main

bridge. Councilman Hatch wanted to
know If the city receiver! anything for
giving llpiis streets to the use of the
company. It was stated that the com-
pany hndh charter right to go through
the. streets. and all the Council could do
was to give a layout. Street Commis-
sioner Briggs thought it might be well
for the city to lay a pipe also and have its
wires placed under ground. On motion
of Councilman Golden the matter was re-
ferred to Street Commissioner Briggs and
Electric Light Commissioner Winchester.
