Will Build q Church

SAN BERNARDINo, March 1s.-when
the st. Johns Episcopal church burned
three months ago the society was IN debt
$1,000, but on receiving the insurance money
and paying off the Indebtedness, the mem
bers of the congregation decided to keep
out of debt In future, and when they built
another church to go only SO far as the
money would reach. The rector, Rev. j.
p. III. Browne, has been working along
thosA lines for three months, and now re-
ports that there is $4,000 in the building
fund. ana that they will erect $4,000 ediice
and, w1lnn. completed, will dedicate 1t free
Of all debt. The yestry held q meeting last
night, and, while hesitating between two
plans for g. church, decided to commence
work on March 20 and to have the founda-
tion ready for the impressive ceremonies
Of laying the corner stone on Easter Sun
day, April 10th. The seating capacity Of
the new church will be equal to that Of the
old one, while the building will be much
more attractive and will be an ornament
to the corner on which It is to stand.
