Captain Joshua Slocum. author of Sailing
Alone Around the World" had harder time
taking his little vessel, the Spray. through Ma
gellan's Straits than in any other part of his
voyage of 10000 miles. And now the Govern
ment tug Slocum has successfully made the
same trip on her way from NewYork TO San
Francisco-the longest voyage a tugboat has
ever ventured to make. Captain SlOcum has
met the captain OF the Slocum on his return
overland from the Pacific Coast. and finds that
he is old friend. When the former was
wrecked the Brazil coast years ago. and
made boat from the remains of his ship to
bring his family home in, Captain Evelyn was
second officer of the steamship Finance, which
towed the boat from Santos to Rio-a part Of
the journey described in The Voyage of the
Liberdade." Captain Slocum is beginning to
think that the world is q pretty small place after
all, though it did take him several years to sail
around it.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

Members Asked to Indicate Preferences
of Site for New Edifice
The matter of the erection of a new
church edifice by the members of the
First Baptist church is again being ag-
itated, and large number of the mem
bers favor the securing of site in
Whalley avenue which has been under
consideration for some time. Cards
have been distributed among the mem
bers of the church with request that
they write thereon the name of the site
which they prefer. 1t is probable that
as soon as a site is agreed upon the
work of erecting the church will be
started soon after. The society now has
on hand $4,000 available for a new
church edifice. 1t is thought that such
structure as is desired would cost
about $4,000. Some definite action in
regard to the matter will doubtless be
taken at an early date.

TRINITY M. E. CHURCH


OF the $4,000 Pledged Trinity Ha,
Raised $1,000 Bishop ID. A. GoodseIl
Prosided-Dr. Rail Last Evening on
'Dr. Jekyll and MI. Hyde"
Bishop D. A. Goodsell preached ct the
4 Trinity NJ e. church yesterday morn
ing. Bishop Goodsell is a former pas
/ tor of Trinity, and large number OF
friends and admirers, not only in Trim
/ ity, but in other churches, gathered to
hear his sermon.
The presence of Bishop Goodsell was
in connection with a special rally SER
vice of the Wesleyan Twentieth Cen
/ tury league of New Haven. This being
one of the last of these services was
| also one of the most interesting. Rev.
DR.. James A.. Chadwick, presiding elder
of the Brooklyn South district, and Rev.
DR.. ]. E. Adams Of the New Haven
district We're present and made brief
addresses
DR.. Adams presented a statement Of
what Trinity church has done in this
movement, which was organized to liq-
uidate the combined debt of all the
Methodist Episcopal churches in New
Haven. For this debt of $4,000 there
is now pledged by the churches $4,000.
OF this amount the Trinity church had
already raised 1880, and yesterday
morning increased the sum by 5000,
making total of $7,400 from this
church. The money is contributed on
condition that the whole amount of $75,-
600 shall be finally pledged.
In the evening the pastor, Rev. II.
Frank Rail, Phi D., delivered the third
sermon in the series on "Bible Sinners"
The theme for last evening was Saul
the Bible Story of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde" The text was I. Samuel, XXI,
6, so Saul died, and his three sons, ana
his armor bearer, and all his men, that
same day together" Drawing line
between the character of Saul and the
double life represented in the terrible
story of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde, DR..
Rail showed with great power the effect
of letting the evil half of our nature get
the ascendant. Gradually and surely
the lower nature rises and asserts itself
until we have no longer the power of
choice unless we restrain it at the be-
ginning.
The remaining subjects in this series
are as follows:
December 2-Pilate; the Sin of Cow
ardice.
December 9-Judas; the Tragedy of
Life
December 16-The Elder Brother, the
Pharisee, Yesterday and To-day"
December 9O-The Prodigal Son; the
Natural History Of Sin.
