Church Building Society.

Last Sunday morning Rev. George A.
Hood Of Boston. New England field sec
retary of the Congregational Church
Building Society, spoke OF the work of
the society in the North Congregational
church. and in the evening at the South
Congregational church. His text was,
/ Chron. %: 49, "Arise, therefore. and
build ye the sanctuaryof the Lord God"
He said that ever since God built the
tabernacle in the wilderness all forms OF
the true religion must have their churches,
and, indeed all false religions must have
their temples. Congregationalists are
the only ones who have organized 200
churches, more or less, and have built
only a few more than 100 per year.
The church, like every other line OF
business needs an equipment to succeed.
If we can aid the young church to build,
the new settlers will attend, will give
so cents or 81 or So to make it sel.sup-
porting; and the future character of the
new town can be moulded by the church.
Thus the Congregational Church Build
ing Society helps the young churches OF
the Congregational Home Missionary
Society and OF the American Missionary
Association among the dark races.
We aid them by three funds-the grant
fund, the loan fund and the parsonage
loan fund the money is'paid back to be
used over and over, the loans every five
years, the grants irregularly by contribu-
tions. Every dollar is secured by first
mortgage and insurance policy, therefore
there is no loss. The aid pays only last
bills, therefore the missionary church
will be out OF debt. The society has al
ways paid every dollar when due, there
fore donors to the annuity fund may be
sure of their annuity.
II we aid a church to build, a revival
follows soon, and many eastern Young
men are saved in this way in the new
town, new lite, new habits. A Mime
sofa church took home missionary aid
Tor FIVE years without a sign oi SUCCESS,
but when the Church Building Soci' ty
gave it $500 10 pay last bills on $1,000
church a revival bryan with the dedica-
ton and fourteen young men were con-
verted.
Then comes selfsupport. One Mime
sofa church expected every year tor hve
years TO give up home missionary aid |;
the sixth year it got $500 from the
Church Building Society on $4,000
church, and has been selfsupporting ever
since; good wayto save home mission
arv money; but why couli not the
Church Building s cie.y have aided that
church FIVE years before and saved $500
home missionary money? For lack OF
money.
Often the Church Building Society has
! to cut down an application OF church
forcing it to hard struggle to pay up;
then the church must have more aid from
the Home Missionary Society the n, xt
year because they emptiei their packets
on the building; and the extra expense
to the Home Missionary Society proves
to he more than the amount the Church
Building Society cut them down.
Thus by prompt payment ot bills re-
vival and seltsupport, we see that every
$1,000 given to the Congregational
Church Bull ling Society will save $1,000
to the Congregational Home Missionary
Society in about three years.

Two Incipient Fires.

Just as the clerks were closing up the
store at George H. Cross bakery last
Wednesday night fire was discovered in
the boiler room and had it not been for
prompt work on the part cf the boys a
serious fire would have resulted. The
fire caught from the proximity of the
woodwork to the heIurnace.
A similar fire caught in Estabrooks'
store the next night, the WOODWORK ignit-
ing around the hot air pipe which heats
the store. AS this occurred when the
store was open it was quickly extin-
guished.
