Yesterday, at the First Methodist
church, was a round-up on the new
church subscription. and before the
services of the day closed Mr. Kawa-
nagb, who has “labored in season and
out of season for this object, announced
that the full amount was secured. The
services in the evening were of a
responsive and musical character. Ales
B.‘Gibson assisted at the organ. Special
mention shouldbemade of Miss Pun-
zelt’s “Eye Hath not Sean,” and Mr.
Force's “If He Shall say Well Done.”
The latter was sung after the announce-
ment that the full subscription had been
secured. The words of the selection
were most appropriate, and their ren-
dering was very expressive, noticeably
affecting the congregation. Following
is Mr. Kavanagh’ a full report:
We are passing through an important
stage in the history of this church III
present. Its history reaches back to 1700.
Its childhood and youth were passed in
struggle and perplexity and self-denial
until in 1816, when a very important
stage of history was began. It was in
that year that the first edifice was erect-
ed.
lug held February 27. 1815, that “Ab-
salom Day was appointed to contract
with Mr. Thorp to build a house for the
public worship of Almighty God—to
furnish material, cover and enclose the
same for $1,200." That was ‘the first
meeting house. At the annual trustee
meeting held January 16, 1813. there is .
a motion recorded that Burr Nash and
William Miller be a committee to ascer-
tain the cost of. building a brick chrfrch
At-a special meeting held March 27,
1813, it was vowd to build a house of
worship fifty-four feet by forty-two. am:
Matthew Wilcox, Burr Nash and Noah
Selleck were the committee. December
20,1845, they reported the woik done at
a cost of $1,000.$2,550 of. which had
been raised.
In those days it was a- splendid and
successful efl'ort. I. hold in my
hand a list of all the subscribers
to that new church—an illustratioro
list. Among the first names are .’Ibsa
lom Day. Matthew Wilcox, Burr Nasi
and other names as well known in tin
history of the church. Another impor-
tant stage in the history wah reached
whentthe church was enlarged to it»
. present dimensions. It is not extrava
gout to say that the history we are mak~
lug today marks a period second to non-
in the history of this society. This par-
ticular era began when Mrs. Hill made
her suberb offer of $15,000, provided
I another $125,000 should beraiwd by the
rest of the cough-gation. I say this two

A IIEW IIIIIIIIIIII III SIGIII.
I read in the minutes of the meet- I
y, i.
one outside of our denomination
who has assisted has expressed the same
kindly sentiment. We have made no
personal solicitation ofthe community
atdarge. We have felt that the proper
timeto do that was when the actual
mtrnctlon of the buildings had begun.I
We must sincerely thank those who,
while not connected with our church.
havoso kindly assisted us. But while
several hundred dollars have been re-
ceived in this way. still it remains true
that this gift of $30,000. almost in itsen-
tirey. has come from the pocket-books
of the church and it’s attendants. I
speak If the $30,000 as ‘coming from the
church, for thatis the only proper way
to speak of it. Some who would belittle
the liberality of the church speak of our
raising only $15,000. But consider a
moment andseeif that isa proper put~
ting of the matter. Suppose any
church or society undertakes to raise
$30,000 and you count out several of the
wealthiest members of that organization
who agree to give one- half the entire
amount or $16.000. The rankand file
raise $15, 001). and the several wealthy
members raise the other $15,000. That
is, the entire organization raises the
$30,000. Now. that is precisely the case
here. The splendid gift of Mrs. Hill
was not only for herself, but for her
children who are members of the
churdb; for none of her children were
to contribute until the $30, 000 was com-
pleted. So it is proper to remember
that for the most part this $.10 000 Is
from our own people. Thirty thousand
dollars is a tremendous amount of
money in practically one year to place
upon the altar of the church, and 1
have' my doubts if such a financial tri-
umph has ever been ucIIieI ed In this sec-
tion of the state before.
During the year some of the most try-
ng and some of the most beautiful
things have come under Iny observation.
[have seen the beautiful side of many
a character, and I have seen generosity '
so spontaneous that it has. reasoned my
faith in humanity. Some have given
honey as if I expected to use it buying
I city lot and building a mansion upon
it for myself. Others have given with
such spontaneity that it did both them
Ind me good. Some have given of their
Ibundauce and it has not pinched them.
Others have given their all, as Icue said
to me as she was making herl last my
'nenti: “This " is my wages
{or two Weeks.” Some one will say,
foolish person to deny herself to give in
that way.' Foolish. possibly. from a
. worldly standpoint; but let me tell you
t is just such selfIdenial. self-moriilccé
Inch foolishness If you please—~tbat will
make her more and more like the Mas-
ter and give her a crown of rejoicing
that angels might well covet.
Another illustration of stalwart
sharacter came in a letter from
mt of town. One of our men,
Ipoor'mau, moved away. He had

There are three classes of persons

At this part of the service the

but not up to that time handed to the
pastor. Others availed themselves of
the priveligo of contributing forl the
completion of the fund. The final" re-

sanguine had hoped—five hundred and

This was a grand popular gift. made up
of four $25 subscriptions, one $20 sub-
scription, eleven $10 subscriptions. one
$18 snbcription. fourteen $5 sub-

song as a mighty anthem of praise.
The poster had asked by letter and
from the pulpit during the weeILfor $500
to complete the fund. Exactly that
amount, with $1.50 to spare. was placed
yesterday as an offering upon the altar
of the church.
