MILL CHAPEL.
Active Efforts Made to Build n Place
OF Worship at the Cotton Mill.

Mrs. Morse was seeing our people yesterday
soliciting subscriptions toward the building
Of house OF worship at the Cotton Mill.
The mill people themselves have ev1nced q
commendable earn estness In the matter, and
have subscribed literally to this fund. 1t
now seems probable that house will be
built as soon as the building material can be
had.
From the organization of the mill Mrs.
Morse has taken great interest IN the spirit.
ual welfare OF those who live In the cottages.
and her labors are about to be crowned With
success in the erection for them OF house OF
worship.
A school house is badly needed, and II a
chapel and school house could be com oinef,
the school authorities might be willing to
contribute something toward building IT,.
The chapel. as we understand, is not to be a
sectarian Institution, but 1t Is to be house
In which ministers OF any orthodox faith
may be invited to expound gospel truths.
and, where the Sunday Schools may be Or
ganized and taught
Those good citizens who believe In home
missions could not contribute to better
cause, and 1t is to be hoped that the gospel
may not be withheld from those who are at
our very doors, and who seek the privilege OF
| tions or inclinations.
The idea that Christians are absolved from
obligations to their neighbor because we have
churches In town to which they are sum.
moned every sunday morning, will not hold
good.

bad mans house because they do not conform
to our way OF thinking is not to be com
mended.
The idea that we can consistently let our
neighbors perish for the want Of the gospel,
while millions is spent in foreign missions Ia
hardly consistent with the tenets OF the
Christian religion.
The idea that efforts are to be withheld
from bringing our neighbors into the fold,
and who thirst for the gospel. may be tolera-
ted on the ground that we are more soicltous
about people who desire to dine on cold mis-
sionary on state occasions.
The Idea that we should force our religion
on strangers, and withdraw our pro tecting
arms from neighbors, II occurs TO US, Is
not coming up to best Of the Christian stand
ards.
Charity begins at home; 1t extends to our
neighbors; and then 1t goes to the further
parts Of our own land, and finally 1t over
flows, and finds place among those people
who regard cold missionary as the choicest OF
dishes on occasions where only the select are
invited to dine.
