ALL ASKED TO HELP.
United Effort to Build a New St. Law
renee Street Church.

For several years past the st. Law
renee street church has been confronted
with this serious and oppressive prob
lem: How to secure the funds needful
to provide new house of worship ade-
quate and suitable to meet the demands
of increased growth and enlarging
,Nork.
For years there has been a growing re-
luctance to expend money in repairing
their present church building, while the
hope has been cherished that some way
would be devised to begin the effort to
raise building fund.
At the last regular church meeting a
systematic plan of weekly free-will offer
ings was unanimously adopted to be
worked in connection with the sub
scription plan adopted by the parish, but
never as yet put in operation.
Yesterday, at the close of the morning
church service, this free-will offering
plan was presented to the congregation
by Deacon R. S. Davis, representing a
to inaugurate the plan. Deacon Davis
remarked that the time had fully come
for a general, united and energetic eff
fort on the part of all members and
ty for the accumulation of building
fund adequate for the erection of a new
house of worship. The matter could
not wisely be delayed. 1t would take
time, some years at least. 1t would de-
mand self-denial on the part of all; it
would require the courage of faith and
the patience of perseverance. With these
elements it could be done, without them
it was almost useless to begin.
IF we are not financially strong enough
to compass this undertaking we are, I
trust, spiritually strong enough to max e
a bold beginning. Everybody must be
Interested; everybody must help, men
and women, young men and maidens-
even the children. We must all grasp
the rope and haul together. In this
work, not only the dollars and the dimes,
but the nickels and the pennies must be
mighty. The plan am asked to present
to you provides for just this, that every
body shall have the opportunity to lay
hold and help"
Deocon Davis then outlined the plan,
calling attention to the printed state
ment and the pledge cards and envelopes
which were then distributed in the con-
gregation. The matter was again pre-
sented by Deacon Davis to the large
evening congregation. There is most
hopeful spirit of enthusiasm on this
work among all Glasses of the st. Law
renee street people. They realize that
they have entered upon long, hard
struggle, but by pulling altogether it is
hoped that fund of at least $4,000 may
be realized within three years time tow
ards the amount needful for the new edi-
flee. Any aid that may be offered by the
outside friends of the St. Lawrence street
church will serve to encourage the v;gor
GUS prosecution of the work and will be
gratefully appreciated. One thing is GER
tain, sooner or later, the new church edi-
fee must come.

land, and studied for the priesthood at
All Hallow College, Dublin. He came

was ordained priest at Portsmouth, N.

Conception. For five years Father
Murphy ministered to the Portland par
ishes, and then went to New Hampshire.
