At St. Paul's church on Sunday morn
 ing after the service @ vote of the mem-
 bcrs will be taken on the question of
 free pews, simply to get an expression
 as to how the members feel on the sub l ject. There are many who strongly fa-
 vor the free pew system and wish that
 a triab, for one year at least, might be
 had, as for the past year the income
 Las not been as large as the expense
 account and it is believed that a. larger
 revenue could be raised under the free
 pew system than under the present way. The church debt has recently been cleared up and unless some change is made 1t is evident that a new one
 will be contracted. Under the present
 system Q larger rental win have to be
 raised to cover the expenses of each
 year, There is a strong sentiment in
 favor of free pews, although it is known
 that there is some opposition. The vote on Sunday wlll show which way the wind blows the strongest.
