There is some talk of another new NJ. F.
Church IN Milford. There are inHuential
MrthodiNts in town ready to contribute
literally TO erect such u church in South
Milford the News says. When the present
new edltic was decided upon, four wear,
ago, some of the monied men rot mad and
never contributed cent, and the hand.
some building was erected in spite of them.
some OF them even left the denomination
Now, through spite, it may be. they have
gone clean over to the other side, and in.
stead OF opposing one new church they are
N favor OF two new ones. But the general
Impression is that there is more talk than
church in this matter.
