THE CHURCH BUILDING MOVE
MENT.
A Meeting Called-So0O to
Head the List.

We are more than pleased to state
that the article on Church matters,
which appeared in the TIMES of
Tuesday, has awakened genuine,
energetic interest both here and at
Virginia. The Rev. Mr.. Jenvey
came down from Virginia last even
ing at the suggestion of Bishop
Whitaker for the special purpose of
taking an active part in the move
ment suggested by the TIMES, and
of
ALL INTERESTED
in the matter of building church
in Silver City. The place appointed
is the residence of Mr.. Frank Ken
yon, and the time 2 O'Clock p. NJ,
tomorrow. The purpose of the
meeting is to discuss the matter
more fully, organize committee on
solicitation of subscriptions and to
put the move on footing that will
insure its success. 1t is to be hoped
that the call of Rev. Mr.. Jenvey
will meet with a full response by
the ladies and gentlemen OF Silver.
1t is the first step necessary and
should be firm and prompt one.
We have
AFEw MORE SUGGESTIONS
to offer for the use of the meeting
which is to be held tomorrow,
which, briefly stated, are these:
That this church building move
ment steer clear of the rock upon
which so many like movements
have been wrecked, namely the
building of Union Chapel. We
have too often seen the folly attend
ant upon such course, and ask that
it be not allowed to battle the sue
cess OF what we consider right
eous enterprise, which has now
FAIR START.
What's everybody's business is no.
body's business. If we are to have
a church, it is needful that there
should be some one organization to
control the building and take care
of its interests, in order that we may
have no church discussions, that
the good which it may do to our
people may not be frustrated by
petty jealousies, and that we may
have resident minister and regu-
lar sercives. To this end we would
kindly suggest that, as
BISHOP WHITAKER AND REV. MR..
JENvEY
have taken large and unpaid inter
est in the religious interests of this city
for the past year, that the commit
tee place the control of the good
work in their hands. There are
none but wish to go to Heaven.
Some think the Methodists have cut
ont the best road thither; some like
the track made by the Presbyterians,
others prefer the old shortcut to
glory staked of by the Universal
lists, and still others prefer to travel
