adopted the results of long professional train
ing and experience. The plan has the further
recommendation in that II has received the
unanimous endorsement of those who have
examined it, so far they have expressed
themselves, as "A plan happily adapted for the
work of God in this community.
In respect to the interior, IL will bear care
full attention. The tower will rise to about
the same height as the one it displaces. The
main building will be somewhat less in height
than the present one, owing TO the fact that
there will be no finished basement. This
makes the new tower proportionately higher
than the old. but TO the foreshortening of
vision in looking up il will seem In better
proportion than the one to bo removed. Why
be at the expense of a tower2 For the reason
that we have bell and need it, The bell
must serve in future, as IL has in the past TO
call the people to tho house of God, and TO
call the fremen upon occasion TO protect our
homes. For another reason, that the boatmen
Of Pawtuxet find in it their favorito landmark
as they sail up and down the bay. God grant
that they may not only lay their course for
the cove by it. but that It's perpetually up
lifted finger may admonish them savingly TO
seek those things which are above. The gen
oral style takes US back to the time when our
fathers studied simplicity, and yet loved to
give symmetry and beauty TO their simple
forms. Hence the plan Is free from ex-
pensvo ornamen tation, and yet charms tho
eye by its external conformity to the laws
Of beauty an effect attractive to men and well
pleasing 10 God-for God, who "made every
thing beautiful in His time" holds beautiful
things in us and for us at premium.
In regard to the internal arrangements, tho
Sunday school room il located next TO the
street and the audience room. IL has "A seat
ing capacity of $50 and opens into the audi

fanked by rooms for pastor and choir, occupy

The sermon gives the details as follows:

time TO build up"
Sometimes great labors are undertaken vol
unfairly, and sometimes they are thrust upon
people when they would gladly avoid them.
The latter is the case with the enterprise we
have in hand in the work Of erecting a new
church edifce Ii is needless to rehearse in
detail the events which, have led up to the
decision which has been reached. They are
familiar to all. Suffice il TO say that the trials
and perplexities, of the last two years have
been serious tax upon your patience and
loyalty. and it is to your great credit that so
little complaint has been heard, and that the
interests of tho church work has been so
steadily maintained And it is a matter for
congratulation that you have come to the de.
cison to build a new edhce with unanimity
IL is the common lot TO experience trials. As
the wise man has said, "To everything there
is a season, and "a time to every purpose under
heaven . . "A time 10 break down, and a
time 20 build up" None can reasonably ex-
pect 20 escape all share ia lifes difficulties
and burdens a season has como which is TO

order 30 build up. The mandate of the civil
authorities to give way for public improve

present position is laid upon u.s. and the de-
csion 10 make the removal complete and

place of tho old. has received formal action.
Why this action For several reasons. IL is
"A matter OF common knowledg that the pres.
ent house was poorly constructed. Not less
than 5000 have been lavished upon IL during
tho last two pastorates without remedying
the original faults. IL therefore seems un.
justiRable waste 10 sink several thousands
more where these other thousands have dis.
appeared Again, removal and ~econstruc.
tion Of the present house would perpetrate
basement so much under ground that the
fungus would continue TO creep up tho oaso-
ments from the dsmpncss below, and the
general dampness would continue to cover tho
library books with mold.
The matter Of removal was also an uncer.
tain experiment. There was no guarantee
against so racking tho building as 20
seriously and permanently injuro II beyond
repair, except at an expense equal 20 new
edihce.
IL was believed, too. that at best n new
edihce would be a necessity in a very few
years. And taking all these things into con.
sideration, It has been deemed wiser TO build
now, with the sum i'm hand received for dam.
ages. than sink that sum In tho old building.
and thon in little while TO undertake the
work empty handed. These are some Of the
principal reasons why the erection OF new
church odifco has been deemed wise and
necessary. And since nothing transpires by
chance, but Gods providence rules over all
events, all the preceding reasons gain force
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-06-20

by the fact that, in setting forth what is wise
and necessary, they serve TO show plainly
what Is the will OF God, and therein plainly
indicate the duty Of His people.
Having thus been convinced that the time
has come by Gods own appointment to break
down and build up. the next question Is ::
What shall be builtT" Tho answer to this
must DO given with respect to the relation in
which we stand 10 God, who has laid the work
upon US. Building by His appointment for
dis pleasure. In order TO please Him we
must ascertain what will best promote His
work in this community. That which will
best serve the religious interests of this
people will receive His approval and favor.
Time was when an audience room sufficed for
all the work being done. for the church edifce
was only preaching house. But times and
methods have changed. The church must
now be made a religious home for the children
and youth as well as the mature. Devotional
and social life have their peculiar needs. The
Sunday school must also have special adapta-
tions. The various young peoples movements
have enlarged the nececessities 10 bo provided
for. In order 10 meet all these demands of
Gods work, His house must be built upon a
we'll considered and elaborated plan. Such a
plan has been the aim of those who have had
the matter in charge. who. understanding the
needs Of the work. have furnished in tho plan

At the Big League Convention
in Cleveland
Delegation Received an Enthusiastic
Reception From Representatives.
Ex-Governor Browns Speech Echoed
by Other Prominent Men.

CLEVELAND, o., June 20.-It was after
the League of Republican Clubs, which
had been in secret session at the Hol-
lenden, adjourned. Mr.. Blackwell OF
Massachusetts, presented resolution
inclining very strongly toward the gold
standard and numerous resolutions ex-
pressing all sorts of views on the money
question followed in quick succession.
Senator Dubois of Idaho and Mr.. Allen
of Utah. They fought like tigers for free
coinage, making vigorous speeches, which
were listened to with close attention.
They spoke for free coinage at 16 TO /
without waiting for the cooperation OF
any other nation. AS the discussion pro-
gressed, tendency became manifest to
dodge the entire question by declining to
adopt money resolutions of any kind
A resolution was offered dearng that it
is not the duty of the league to adopt a
platform for the Republican party as that
important action would be left to the
National Convention, which nominates
presidential and ce-presidential can
didates.
Messrs Dubois and Allen vigorously op-
posed this resolution, holding that it was
the duty of the league TO declare its prin-
ciples. The gold men spoke in favor of
the resolution and the vote was to 2 in
its favor.
The subcommittee resumed its session
early after breakfast. The proposition of
the anti-free coinage men was modified
into an address that would prevent the
silver men from preparing and offering a
minority report. Senator Dubois, and
Allen of Utah, had to be satisfied to pre-
vent two reports going to the full COM
mittee. The subcommittee appointed
DIR. Robinson of New York, Senator Du-
bois of Idaho, Mr.. Harkness of Missouri,
committee TO revise the address. The
revision committee reported to the sub
committee at 10 a. m. today, and discus
sion on the silver issue was resumed The
subcommittee, however, announced that
it would report to the full committee at
p. M, when it was thought that all diff
ferences will be adjusted i'm the commit
tee room, so as to prevent two reports
being made to the convention, and any
fight being precipitated on the floor. Mean
time, the silver men of the West called a
conference for IL o'clock, when Senator
Dubois and Mr.. Allen will report to them.
The second days session of the National
Convention of Republican clubs opened
with every prospect of harmony, knowing
the contest for three days between those
wearing the yellow and the white badges.
The only differences were on the silver
resolution. On the tariff and every other
question, the deleagtes were united in
standing by antecedents of the party. The

boom for General McAlpin for President
seemed TO be so general that there was no
scramble even for the offices. The point
was then made in the early hours OF the
morning that it would be good politics
to avoid collision on the only point on
| dispute. This was impossible with the
usual declaration OF principle by resolu-
tions, because no one could draw a resolu-
tion that would satisfy both the Eastern
and Western deleagtes. 1t was proposed
to go further than Thurston's resolution,
and add only address, which would set
forth that the league is an auxiliary and
| nota primary organization, and that,
therefore, 1t would be best to await the
action of the Republican convention of
1896, and not TO anticipated.
All efforts among the leader and dele
gates as we'll as among tho committee
We're today directed towards this
plan and with view to
preventing such fight in con-
vention as there was in the committee
resolutions last night. 1t was expected
that the silver men would show their
strength in running Colonel Trumbo for
President, and again In pressing a mi
nority report on silver, but this plan
was abandoned. The silver question,
however, continuen to overshadow
all others, as It has done all
week. On this question the states had in
to act as q unit and the silver men were
forced to admit their defeat.
The Pennsylvania delegates today de-
cided to cast the United States vote of
their delegation for General McAlpin Of
New York for the Pres idency. The Ten
nessee delegation met before the Conven-
tion and decided that the new South had
not been so prominently brought to the
front before the Convention as the other
sections.
General McAlpin, the prospective Pres
ident, was relieved about day break of his
gold watch, diamonds and money.
Among those accorded an ovation on en-
Bushnell, the Republican candidate for
Governor OF Ohio, and who sat as one of
Ohio's delegates.
When President Tracy called the con-
vention to erder at IL a. m, the first thing
done was the appointment OF senator
elect Thurston of Nebraska, II. Clay
Evans OF Tennessee; Ex-Governor Prince
of New Mexico Messrs. Goodnow
Of Minnesota and Buck OF Georgia TO
wait on ex-senator Warner Miller OF
New York and invite him to address the
convention. While these gentlemen re-
tired to escort Mr.. Miller to the hall the
committee on credentials reported in
favor Of seating both delegations from
South Carolina. This was adopted on the
report OF the committee on rule, the Red
House, and the Denver convention were
adopted. Hon. Warner Miller then ad-
dressed the convention.

HAPPY CHILDREN.
Meritorious Work Being Performed
by the Salvation Army.

hSri'orious Work belnS ferIormeQ
by the Salvation Army.
A short time ago the Salvation Army
started work among the children, getting
in those who went nowhere else, those
who thought their clothes hardly good
enough to go to other places of worship.
Last night, in connection with this
work, supper was given to about one
hundred and fifty of these children. For
a couple Of weeks some of the army girls
were around soliciting donations of food
and money to help pay expenses, and the
army wishes to thank all those who as
sisted them. Yesterday afternoon, as the
children gathered in the army hall to get
their supper, it was q pleasing sight,
and one which amply repaid those
who so kindly assisted, to watch the
eager faces Of the children as they gat h
cred in anticipation of not only a supper
consisting of sandwiches, cake and lemon
nde, but some ice-cream as well. A great
many of these children being very poor,
seldom have such luxury rs ice- cream.
One OF the children during the supper re-
marked that he did not want any more.
"Ive got my pockets full already" he
said, with the air of one for whom life
could not possibly have any greater
things in store. After the supper, the
exercises were conducted by the children
who recited pieces, and sang and enjoyed
themselves generally, when the benedict-
ion was pronounced by Captain Frank

Everybody went home feeling well-satis-
fed and hoping for another affair of the
kind in the nesr future.

Surprisingly Strong.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

All of the leading candidates for the
presidency, including Mckinley, Reed,
Allison and Harrison, and some that are
not leading, have their representatives
among the delegates and visitors. Don
Cameron is talked about among the silver
people, the Elkins boom has been
launched by his West Virginia friends
and still other presidential possibilities
have their Supporters. There is a growing
sentiment that the candidate will come
from the west. Siad a prominent New
England delegate last night: 1.-THE New
EnglBnd delegates are expected to be for
Reed and we shall be for him as long as
there is hope, but we recognize that the
nominee is likely to come from the west.
Tom Reed, with all his admitted talents,
may be compelled TO retire because he is
from the east and beause of his hostility
TO silver. In the event of a western man
being chosen at head the ticket, we of
the east may expect TO name the vice pre-
sidential nominee, and have been sur
prised to hear so many delegates speak
favorably of Ex-Governor Brown of
Rhode Island, who is known in New Eng
land as very strong man.
There are other vice presidential BOOM
let's, the most prominent of which is that
of Henry Clay Evans Of Tennessee.
