The pastor stated that seven or eight
plans for their new building had been pre-
scented and were now under the inspection
of the committee Whether the church will
build on their lots at the corner of Fifteenth
and JULIAN streets Is as yet undecided. 1t
is proposed to spend $50, 600 in the erection
of a new church building. Since DR..
Spaulding has been pastor of the church
(uine years. there have been 551 baptisms
and 3o4 combinations, making an average

Before the close of the meeting
the pastor read communication
by st. Johns parish asking that he restrain
the Church of the Advent from locating a
parish and building church al the corner
of Twenty-fOuTth and Bartlett streets. The
Church of the Advent formerly occupied a
house Of worship on New Montgomery
street, but on account of business encroach-
ing upon their parish they decided to sell
and locate where the number of residences in
the vicinity would support a church, but
st. Johns parish claims the new selection,
which Is without the knowledge of the
Bishop, is intruding upon them, for already
they have settled a mission in that vicinity
and this gift Of $1,000 Will build a chapel.
The election OF Senior and Junior Ward
dens, Clerk and Secretary was laid over
until next Friday so as to give the new
members Of the vestry notice of their cleo
ton.
The total Easter offertory of the congre-
CATION was 1854 for parish purposes and
$40 given by the Sunday-SchoOl for general
mission use. The attendance at the IL
o'clock service was SO great that many
were unable to find standing room in the
church. The rector. Rev. DR.. Spalding, as
sisted by the associate clergy Of the parish,
administered the holy communion to 305
members of the congregation.
