Yet, In preparing to remove from Twenty

formed church undoubtedly proceeds with q
due understanding OF its present and future
needs It's business interests are managed
by men OF great saEacity, and its pastor
and his advisers know what is requisite FOR

talked of like removal, but for club pnr-
poses its present situation offers so many
advantages that 1t remains where 1t is.

same vicinity. will also be moving out, and
we believe that n large price has already
been offered for its property which Is at
TwenLy-fourth street, on the east side OF
Madison square. The property next to the
church, and extending to Twenty-third
street, at the corner Of which was the resi-
dence OF the late Mr.. BARLOW, was sold to-
gether, and great and handsome business
building is to be put upon it. The church
will not be likely to resist long the tempta-

The Remoyal Of Churcbes.

The property of the Zion Episcopal Church,
at the corner OF Thirty-eighth street and
Madison avenue, was sold at auction on
Wednesday to Mr.. SAMUEL SLOAN. repre-
senting, as 1t Is understood. the Dutch Re-
formed church at Twenty-flrst street and
Fifth avenue Tho price paid was 100000
and, considering the extent Of the property
and its situation on the summit of Murray
Hill, it is well worth the money.
The property was sold because the Zion
parish has been consolidated with st. limo
thy's in West Fifty-seventh street, in ac-
cordance with the wise policy of Bishop
POTTER to strengthen churches in neigh
bOrhoods where they are required by
uniting with them churches In dis
tricts oversupplied with such accommo-
datlons. The Reformed church at Twenty
first street has Il history dating back to
the very early days OF the Dutch settlers
on Manhattan Island. 1t has already made
successive removals from Garden street to
Murray street and thence to its present
situation. where it has been for many years.
Its property at Twenty-lirst street Is es-
tlmated to DO worth much more than the
price OF Zion Church, and hence whom IL
moves again 1t will start out with u hand
some surplus.
But in going further up town, it will seem
to be proceeding contrary to the policy
Bishop Potter wishes the Episcopalians TO
adopt. From the corner OF the Fifth avenue
and Twenty-ninth street TO the corner OF
Madison avenue and FIfty-seventh street,
there are already three Dutch Re-
formed churches on those two avenues
and thus close together in the same
fashionable neighborhood. That neigh
borhood too is largely supplied with Prot
estaut churches Of different denominations

Congregational Association closed its third
and last days session here tonight. At the
business meeting this morning the otherwise
uneyentful and harmonious proceedings Of the
assembly were somewhat disturbed by the in
PRODUCTION OF the question OF the action Of the
association on the proposed prohibition
amendment to the State Constitution. At yes
terday's meeting O committee was appointed
to draft an expression Of the sentiment Of
the association on the subject. The COM
mittee consisted OF the Rev. George II.
Hicks OF Monsey. the Rev. DR., Z. N.
Packard OF Syracuse. and the Rev. Thomas
Douglas OF Saville. l. L. Tho report was
received with lively interest. The committee
recommended the adoption OF a preamble and
resolutions declaring the drink EVIL menace

best interests Of the State giving hearty en-:

adoption Of tho committees report. He said
that Of late years he had oftener voted the Pro-
hibition ticket than any other. Nevertheless
he was unable to vote for resolutions (which
committed this body to the proposed constitu-
tional amendment II Is contrary TO usage for
the association to take part in political lues-
lions. and this Is o political question. There
is grave question whether 1t Is q sound politi-
cal method to place the proposed amendment
In the state Constitution.
The Rev. George II. Hicks Chairman OF the
committee replied warmly In support OF theI e-
port and In denunciation Of any system Of high
or low license which recognizes liquor selling
as a legitimate traffic.
His remarks stirred up considerable feeling
among those members OF the association who
favor high license. One OF the brethren arose
and announced himself in favor OF high
license system II he couldn't get anything
better.
At this point some OF the cooler heads in the
assembly saw the prospect OF lively discus
sion OF the issues raised and they interrupted
further debate by cries of Question" "Ques-

ton on the adoption OF the report, and the
motlon prevailed by considerable majority
