CATION. About ak months since the
Ii. E. Church Of this place was con-
demned rs unsafe, since which time the
congregation have, by sutferance, been
using the School hall as place Of wor-
ship, and am now informed that they
will soon have to give it up and then they
will be out In the cold for sure. This is
not much 10 the credit Of a congrega-
ton numbering over 300, many Of them
wealthy, especially as the sum needed for
remoddelipg the old building is only
$4,000! -If'the conference would send

books soundly converted, II would have
good effect. The trouble is here that a
great many people have an idea that the
scriptural doctrine Of (" free salvation
means that religion is to cost them 10th
