been frescoed pale blue in imitation of the
sky and it is dotted with stars and cres-
cent moon. On either side of the altar is
q large panel, which will be filled in with
frescoing, though the designs are not fully
decided upon.
Over the altar handsome stained-glass
window will shortly be placed. The chapel
is called Memorial because it is reminis-
cent OF old Trinity Church, the altar, the
cross. the seats and even the carpet having
all been moved from the building on Post
street.
1t is expected that the chapel will be
ready for service on Friday week. The
decoration of the larger chapel will then
be proceeded with, after which the main
editice will be given over to the workmen
to be decorated in the same manner as the
chapels. The changes in the building will
include the putting up of number OF
handsome memorial windows, as well as
other costly gifts to enhance the beauty Of
Trinity Church.
Rev. DR.. Hirst of the Simpson Memorial
Church is in demand in the East. In addi.
ton to call to the Centenary M. E. Church
of Chicago, he has also received a call from
the First M. E. Church of Meadyille, Pa,
where one of the oldest and best Methodist
colleges is situated. DR.. Hirst is known in
Pennsylvania, as he was formerly pastor
of Christ Church, Pittsburg. Both these
calls have been communicated to the
official board of the Simpson M. E. Church,
and strong protest has been uttered by
the congregation against losing DR.. Hirst
till the five years, which the rules of the
Methodist Episcopal church would permit
him to spend with one congregation have
expired.
DR.. Hirst has been four years with the
Simpson Memorial Church, and he stated
yesterday that he had not yet fully de-
cided whether he should accept the wider
field offered by the Chicago call, or remain
another year in San Francisco. The
probability seems to be, however, that DR..
Hirst will decide in favor of Chicago,
though nothing is settled yet.
Rev. Fred s. Pullan, pastor of the Third
Congregational Church of this City, is
bordering over call to Pilgrim Congre-
gational Church, Providence, R. I. He
will probably come to decision in the
course of the next few days.
In commemoration of the great success
of the Epworth League Convention at
Chattanooga sunrise prayer meetings will
be held in a number of the Methodist
Episcopal churches in this City. Grace
M. E. Church has made arrangements for a
meeting on an unusually large scale. A

Its officers are preparing to send to all the
ladies named in the "blue book" request
that in making their purchases of the ne
cessaries and luxuries of life they buy only
goods and articles made by local or Cali

contain several pretty notices that convey

In the blue book are the names of about
1900 ladies, and the money spent by these

the patriotism of the ladies in society in
the belief that if their patronage is secured
this item alone will go far toward building

Perhaps nine out of every ten persons
whose homes were destroyed by the fire
were members of the Catholic parish of st.

Rev. D. F. Nugent. is more nearly in
touch with their sufferings and restitution
than any one else.
During the night of the fire, and every
day since, he has gone among his destitute
parishioners to discover and relieve their
wants.
