METHODIST DEBTS.
Of the Jersey City
District Endeaving to
Pay Them.

The convention of the churches OF tine
Jersey city district of the Newark Con-
ference. in the interest of the twentieth
Century movement, viii be held in ST.
Paurs Methodist Episcopal Church. Third
street. Tuesday afternoon, November Is.
at two P. M. The convention will discuss
two important questions:-First, the pre-
eminent Importance of arriving at spirit
ual results; second, the ~desiraDility OF
every Methodist making a thank offering
at the beginning of the new century.
Special consideration will be given to
the important subject of church debts
The entire church debt of the Jersey City
district is $685. 900. An effort will be made
to uquidate the entire Indebtedness of all
churches in the Jersey City district. A
number of churches are entirely free from
debt, while a few are burdened only with
small debts. It is understood that a gem
eral movement will be inaugurated calling
for subscriptions from all Methodist
churches in the Jersey City district and
from each individual member. BY this
plan 1t is anticipated that the Joint debt
of the Jersey City churches will be cleared
and a balance left which will be used to
Tighten the loads of a few of the more
heavily. burdened churches in other cities
embraced by the Newark Conference.
Referring to the matter last evening
the Rev. E. C. butcher of the Linden Ay-
enue M. E. Church., said that all churches
in the district were making an extraordi-
nary effort to clear off long standing
debts. MT. butcher cited the case of the
Forty-fourth Street NJ. E. Church of Bay
enne, which last week raised 100 Of a
1900 debt by subscription. A long stand
ing mortgage of $500 was also paid and
the papers burned.
The Linden Avenue NJ. E. Church is
encountered with a sl4. 600 debt, which Pas
tor butcher is making strenuous efforts
to lessen. A member of the congregation
donated a city lot on Cedar avnue to the
church Last week. Two other members
of the congregation have promised to sub-
scribe $500 each.
The principal addresses at the conven-
ton will be made by Bishop Thomas l.
Bowman, ID, LID, the Rev. a. B.
Leonard. DID,, h Rev. Charles L. Good
ell, DID,, and the Rev. A. B. Richardson,
