Church. on Brooklyn Heights.

Another meeting was held in st. AIMS
Church Brooklyn. last night in the effort to lift
its tl3s,OOO debt. The Rev DR.. Noah Hunt
Schenck said that in the early part Of next week
movement is to be begun to solicit aid from
outside to save the church and he desired that
one more effort should be made within the
church. There was a wholesome interest in
the work Of raising the debt. Three servants
had sent him sl7. and regretted that they could
not do more: n lady. who needs all the money
she mas. stepped into his study yesterday and
laid down $40; n young lady had promised 500.
and another lady had pledged $3.50. DR. Schcnck
then put glittrrlng diamond ring on his finger
which he said cost originally $3.50 lady had
donated ii to the church, hoping that II would
bring at least onr-half its cost. He had it for
sale. and hoped soon 10 find u customer.
Mr.. Cutting reported that s4l .967 81 had been
subscribed within the church. and that 81 j3s
had been raised outside. There was sl 300 II
reported last neht. making si7slj.OS as the
total Of the subscriptions.
DR.. Schrnrk sad that the congregation ought
10 give s75,OOO. Beyond that he did not think
they ought To 20. and more than this he had not
expected them to do He thought that for every
$4,000 subscribed now. tho church would get an
additional $1,000 from the outside. He at
