Of call being extended by this church
to Rev. DR.. w. W. Moore, of the Union

that announcement was premature, and

without foundation. Or. Moore preached
for the Fifth-Avenue church last Sunday,

accepting "A call TO the pastos-te, and. in

Moore certainly has no intention Of going

not listen TO a proposition that would
call him from the great work in which
he is now engaged. and there Is little
likelihood. his friends say. Of his accept
ing any call. He is chairman of the
faculty Of Union Theological Seminary.
and so closely is he identified with that
institution that his associates and the
