A BIG CHURCH.
UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE NEW
BROOKLYN BAPTIST TEMPLE.
A Greater Seating Capacity Than
Any Other Church in the Metro
politan District-Will Be
Open Day and Night.

VXTORK on the new building
\N/ for the First Baptist
Y v Church, corner of Third
avenue and Schermerhorn
street, Brooklyn, is being pushed
rapidly, and it is thought, declares
the New York World, that the struc'
ture will be completed even sooner
than the builder anticipated. 1t will
be known as the Brooklyn Baptist
Temple, and the Rev. Cortlandt
Myers will be retained as pastor.
The temple will have larger seat
ing capacity than that of any other
church in Brooklyn or even New York.
In fact there are only about half q
dozen other churches in the United
States that can seat as many people as
the new building will accommodate.
The main feature of this church is
economy. It will have cost when en-.
tirely completed less than $4,000.
This SUM has already been raised by
the congregation, and there will be no
debt on the building when it is com.
pleted.

INTERMITTENT IRINKINd.

There would he little use N my describing
what I believe to be the cause and the course
Of intermittent drinking, unless set forth

asked: HAS not man will power, and can
he not Of his own volition abstain from what
he knows to be simple self-destructonf' Ny
answer, unhappily, must be that man who
has fairly fallen into the drink habit, whether
constant or intermittent, has scarcely any
will power while the fit is on him, and as I
have said. each fit leaves his will feebler and
less able to withstand the temptation o! 4

and Of which he is too prone to forget the
danger.

intermittent drunkard, who is able to abstain
for a period, that he can never, by any

patient, if he really wants to be cured, mus.
clearly make up his mind that it must be

perhaps, but none the less sure.

be much less.

hewn beams having twice the length
of life that sawed timber has, the ak
leaving a glaze on the surface of the
wood, closing the pores. Iron played
little part in the older buildings,
structural iron work being late ap-
plication. but wherever metal was
used at all it was of the best. Plumb
ing and gas fixtures were honestly cast
and finished and fitted by hand and
not stamped out by machinery. There
were wide halls, easy stairs, generous
freplaces and solid, substantial wood
work.
These were undoubted advantages
in the old style and many of them
might we'll have been retained; still
there is no justice in continually de-
crying modern building. It is true
that the man of the present now builds
his house for himself, taking little
thought as to whether it will serve his
children or his children's children.
The conditions of modern life prevent
the excl else of great foresight for
ones descendants in this regard. The
diverse interests Of business make
society largely migratory, and owing
to the rapid growth of our cities there
is constant shifting of population.
So it would be worse than useless to
build house in any city with the ex-
pectation that it would be occupied
by three or four generations of the
builder; and it is the general and wide
recognition of this fact that prevents
the erection of such solid and endur-
ing structures as our forefathers put
up. We can afford to sacrifice some.
thing to sightGness in detail, in cost
and construction.

solidity Of masonry and joinery can
not take the place of sealed drains,
perfect ventilation, good lighting and
heating. In the old days every builder
was left to his own devices with con.
science as his sole mentor; now the
most rigid laws prescribe the things
that are essential for health and safety
and leave the builder perfect freedom
only to crafty his aesthetic tastes.
Holding our tenures as we do, with
no privilege of entail to posterity, the
Americans attachment to locality is

And l am in this Villains power.
Pratt and Weeks have deceived me; set
traps for me and involved me in specu-
lations which were swindles concocted
with the cunning Of arch-fiends to evade
all legal consequences. These men find
their victims among the oldest operators

save me, he added.

Her father hesitated.
Speak, father. Why do you seem so
agitated?" she said.
II would spare you pain and anxiety.
The worst for you, my child, is yet to
come"
Il do not comprehend; what do you
mean?"
In few words he told Of the suspicion
which the police sergeant had declared
against Stuart Harland.
Edna was justly indignant and she
treated the accusation with scorn.
Stuart will explain the cause Of his
midnight departure. When he Is heard,
shadow Of suspicion will not remain
upon him." she said, with loving
woman's sublime faith.
Il should tell you also that Paxton,
the detective, did not agree with the
police sergeant. In the face OF all the
circumstances which caused the SER
geant to suspect Stuart, he declared his
belief in the young mans innocence.
Paxton is O wonderful man, and am
sure he has formed some theory which
he believes will overthrow the hypothesis
of the police sergeant. In that thought
I find hope for Stuart's salvation, even
though circumstances should further
combine to tighten the coil Of suspicion
about him." the broker said.
Father and daughter were parted for
the night, but like Marion Oakburn,
Jason Garrison was sleepless. He
paced his room until dawn and once he
muttered:

profited nothing. was mad. The risk
of discovery remains suspended over my
head like sword hung by thread"
He struck his breast and paused alb
ruptly in his rapid walk as he said, Can
Stuart have suspected me?"
At that moment the young man Of
whom he spoke was in the custody Of
detectives who had arrested him on a
railway train.
Circumstances were combining and
developments were transpiring which
were destined to make the secret Of John
Oakburns murder one Of the most re-
markable, mysterious, and interesting
of modern detective cases.

1NcnELsE IN INToyIcANTs.

The Rev. Dr.. T. L. Cuyler claims that So
cial drinking customs are on the increase In
our country. and he adds: "The decanter is
stealing back again on to the dinner tables
OF people from whom we should expect bet
ter things. Intoxicants are more freely OIL
fered at weddings and In social gatherings:
Club life is becoming more popular, and
there are very few clubs that are under re-.
s.rictions of total abstinence. Betting and
bottles are the two concomitants of the foot
ball matches and rowing matches which at
tract thousands Of our college students"
This is sorry picture in view Of all the ef-
forts OF the various wings of the great tenn
perance army. We wish we could believe
that DR.. C1yler was mistaken when he so
wrote. but We fear that he is correct. AS to
methods of overcoming the evil the doctor
says that to prohibit the sale Of intoxicants is
bootless so long as the use Of intoxicants is
on the increase. He wants to see tremend-
GUS arousing of public conscience all over
the land. No one can sound out as effective
a clarion coll on this nubject as Dr.. Cuyler,

in the morning until late at night.
The reading and other rooms of the
church are to be in constant use,
forming practically home in the
church for all those who desire to
come together for prayer, Christian
intercourse or mutual improvement.
Although Mr.. Myers has been pastor
of the First Baptist Church for only
about two years, he has made it one of
the most popular and strongest
churches in Brooklyn. Unlike the
Baptist Temple in Boston, the Brook
lyn edifice will be used for none other
than church purposes.

SALOON VERSUS CHURCH.

The saloon sets ITSELF against the church,
and Is wonderfully efficient in undoing the
good work the church tries to perform. See
how in every effort the church makes she Is
thwarted by the saloon. Her divine mission
is to lead men to a higher and purer life.
To do so she must have, as material to work
with, the natural man with all his human
qualities, his reason, his freedom Of will. If
there Is one peculiar achievement that
drunkenness can pride itself on, 1t Is Its IA
cility to deprive mnn of his reason and to
rob him of his free-will; and to make Chris
tian out of q constant drunkard Is like max
ing bricks without straw, or trying to build
a solid structure CO the running waters

Whenever house that has stood

there are many cries that "our fore
fathers build better than we." It is
undoubtedly fact that there was
greater honesty of construction in the
old days than at present, and that the
materials used were generally better.
The mortar in the old buildings is 30
hard that it seems almost part OF the
stone or brick; it was not made With
a plenitude of sand, a modicum of
cement, and 80 it has never crumbled
under wetweather as does the modern
mixture. The old bricks were better
burned and seemed more finty than
porous; the beams were hewn out Of
