CHRIST CHURCH.
The Officers Say They Are Unable to Pay
the Interest on the Notes.

The troubles Of Christ Church have been
great and grie7ous. The pastor has been made
q Bishop, but the cost was secession from the
body OF the Episcopal Church. Suits have been
brought against the Trustees for the recovery OF
the property OF the church, and every concei7a-
ble. annoyance has woaried the faithful copgre-
CATION. Now new trouble presents itself.
There is heavy mortgage On tho property, aud
the hard times have pressed the Torsh1ppers
Of Chzist Church no less than the
workingnan. The pew rents have come
in slowly and scantiy; tho interest On
to the Presbyterian Theological Seminary Of the
Northwest has not beon forthcoming. The pas-
tor has, We understand, waived bis claim to more
salary than WAS absolutely necessary to NAM
tain him; +; but this did not help matters much,
for cla1gymen, as q general thing, do not have
much margin over their necessities. The amount
Of interest Taa Sl,250, due on the I'd day OF
November. The days Of grace have passed, aud
now the public II warned OF tho sale OF the
much~fought-for property By the following ad-

The congregation are not taken By surprise at
this announcement. They have anticipated it
for some weeks. What will follow, nobody ap-
pears to know. Officers OF the church say they
have not the money to pay With, and they snp-
pose the property #ill have to be sold. Thus
the suit Of Alien q. Callling ct al. will come to
an untime1y end, and the Reformed Episcopal
Church OF Chicago will not have where to shelter
its head.
