In about forty minutes the $4,000 was
raised, and then Mr.. Andrus subscribed the
$1,000. He was brought to the platform 70
make his second proposition: The PROPOSE
tions, he said, came from his wife, and
added that if the women, instead of the men,
carried the pocketbooks, it would not take
long to clear the auditorium from debt. His
second proposition was that, il the audience
would subscribe SO, 666. &C, or two-thirds OF
the second 1900, his wife would give the
other third. This was received with APP
plause, although President Stokes had once
said there would be no hand-clapping IN that
auditorium on Sunday, even II President
Cleveland himself should com in.
THE DEBT LIFTED.
DIR. Hanlon and Mr.. Yatman began anew
their challenges to each other to match the
subscriptions they secured, using such tertns
as "I1I match you,' "You raise $25 n III
sec it, with as much gusto as any two poker
players.
Suddenly DR.. Hanlon cried ou~t.-''Senator
Bradley has just given 500 to be introduced
to Mr.. Andrus. Viii anyone do the sames'
Immediately Senator Skirm stepped up
and accepted the offer DIR. Hanlon pre-
sented him to the millionaire, with an alb
surd flourish n in a manner which pro
voked the vast audience to shouts of laugh

$4,000 was secured, aud Mr.. Andrus had
another proposition that il the audience
would contribute $4,000 he would give the
remaining So, 900, and thus the entire S26, 00C
would be secured. Away started the col
lectors with renewed zeal. while Dr. Hanlon,
Senator Skirm and MrAYatman kept VI the
enthusia SIN and the laughter until the $4,000
was raised.
All this was done on a Sunday in a build
ing built for the worship of Almighty God.
By men who declare it is a sin to bathe on
Sunday; vino will not allow tobacco to be
sold on their grounds any day, or news
papers on Sunday; who keep the baker, the
butcher and the milkman outside their gates
on Sunday anc compel the cottager to go
over a mile to secure their necessities OF life
who will not permit a vehicle OF any KIND 10
enter their grounds on Sunday and when one
of the residents died on that day compelled
the undertaken and his assistants to carry
the accessories of his gruesome calling
through the streets, thereby creating more
ungodly commotion than if the wagon had
been allowded in the grounds.
When it was announced that the debt had
been lifted the great congregation arose and
gave the Chatauqua or Ocean Grove SALUTE
as it is called here. Then a mighty ''Praise
God From Whom All Blessings Flow went
upward. The venerable Bishop Bowman.
assisted by Bishops Fowler and Waldren,
formally dedicated the building according
to the ritual of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
The same begging tactics We're followed at
the morning and afternoon services. In the
morning Dir. Stokes read an address setting
forth the details of the building scheme and
Bishop Bowman preached a begging ser
mon. In the afternoon DR.. Hanlon held his
Bible class, but there was more begging thai
Bible studying.
