Made a New Arrangement.

The Tabernacle Baptist church in Sec
ond avenue had ninety-nine year lease
hold on n lot adjoining it. 1t was desired
To build church mission house To cost
from $1,000 to $4,000 on this lot. The
announcement was then made that Mr..
Rockefeller would himself build the mis-
sion house, lending the money to the
church on terms that were more than lib
eral. But Mr. Rockefeller decided not To
lend his aid TO the enterprise. He made
a new arrangement with the church, by
which he was To become the possessOr Of
the lease on the lot, giving in return there
for the income OF 1000 worth of bonds
earning per cent, the $500 a year so Sc
cured to go toward paying the general ex-
penses of the tabernacle. This income
was to be continued for ten years, and
then, at the discretion of Mr.. Rockefeller
or his heirs, ten years longer.
