supported by Iayouts-everyone does some

supported by Iayouts- everyone does some thing animated by the soul within him. E The man who perfectly succeeded came in- to the world saying: ''For this came into the world" He went out of it saying: "It is finished" The glorious success of this man Jesus is utterly indescribable. Christ the teacher has succeeded. We want to ask what is this law of our being-what is the soul of one who has had this success We find it. I It is bearing one another's burdens. That is the one thing in life that has succeeded. It | is new record for the human race. The preacher asked if there was anything ito justify him in saying that the law of sue I cess was the law of bearing one another's burdens and drew from the writings of the great humanitarian authors-Thackeray, Dickens, Hood, Mrs. Stowe and others-the evidence that the soul of man was exactly created for sympathy with each others sor- rows So the Bible is read by millions be- cause it teaches us to heed the poor. It isl the book which just fits the constitutional clements of human being.
 The philosophers are just commencing to learn that this law of mutual help is the great law which is to save the races of the people.
 The one thought that this bearing of each others burdens, was the law by which man If he would truly live and attain to happiness, and righteousness must act was most elo- aquently enforced.
 HISTORY OF THE ENTERPRISE.
 The Chapel street Methodist church and Wesley Chapel on Davenport avenue have been consolidated under joint pastorate some ! thing over three years, with the understand I ing that as early as practicable steps would be- taken to build alarge and commodious church which would meet the wants of the united society. The lot was purchased of MT. Charles Dickerman in the fall of 1881, for the sum of fifteen thousand dollars, and the work of excayating for the foundation began immediately after the deed was transferred.
 The corner stone of the new ediice was laid by Bishop Simpson with ap- propriate ceremonies on the 2Oth of last April. The church proper is 85 feet wide and 83 feet deep, and is Gothic in architecture It is built of pressed brick with Longmeadow sandstone trimmings and fancy tiling; Its cresting is terra-cotta. The tower is 16 feet square and 139 feet high. The church has some relatively new features in the style of architecture. The ceiling is of ribbed iron decorated in lively colors. The floor is bowled and has semi circular seats. Six aisles radiate from the pulpit. There are 176 pews, which will accommodate about 800 people. The walls are tinted gray. The whole wood work is of ash with cherry trim mings. The wainscoting has band of min ton tile running over the top. There are two Gothic windows 14 feet wide and 25 feet high with beautiful cathedral glass; besides many smaller ones, which afford ample light.
 The chapel will accommodate about 500, and is a model one. With it's multiplied conveniences it has two tiers of class rooms, numbering thirteen in all. Underneath the chapel is a dining room with tables, where seventy-dve can be seated at once, also a large kitchen with sink and range and ample closets for china and glassware. An excel lent feature of this church is in the arrange ment of the seats, which makes rush i'm possible. With three vestibules the ingress and egress is perfect. The most ample pro 5 vision has been made for ventilation on sci entifc principles.
 The church is model of beauty in it's in- terior arrangements and reflects great credit upon the wise judgment of the building com mittee, who have evidently studied the inter ests of the people who will worship there. The cost of the enterprise is between sixty and seventy thousand dollars. The architect is l.. B. Walk, of New York. The masons, Townsend $ Bates. Joiner work, William P. Dickerman. Bradley $ Hubbard, of Meri- den, furnished the gas fixtures. Plumbing. Broderick I& Curtiss, of this city. Painting by E. B. Jeffcott. The organ is from the factory of George Jardine & Son, of New York, and was on exhibition at the fair of the American Institute last fall, and for it's size is one of exceptional power and beauty 0f t0na
