One OF the practical results OF the
vigorous defense OF the ,Au,erlcan sol
dier made In so many pulplts during
the recent visit Of Chaplain Pierce In
the United States Is the authority
granted the bishops of his church to
appeal for funds to build in .-1anila
first class clubhouse for soldiers. seys
the Manila Freedom. Through the
generosity of friends at home be has
been enabled to purchase a suitable lot
for this purpose at a cost of $4,000,
and plans for the building have been
prepared by Philadelphia architects
and donated by George G. Thomas OF
that city. who also gave $1,000 toward
the work.
In the plans chapel has been pro-
vided. but this. too. Is to be paid for by
friends at home. So that the subscrip-
tious yet to be secured are to be used
solely for the gymnasium and amuse-
ment hall. gameroom. library and cor
respondence room, cafe. dormitories,
classrooms, etc. 1t is designed to make
these departments of the building so
inviting that men, of all creeds will en-
10Y their use at all hours aud on every
day of the week.
The enterprise has received the
hearty approval of the president Of the
| United States, to whom sketch of the
building was submitted, and General
Macarthur, General Bell. Judge Taft,
General Wright and others in Manila
are patrons of the enterprise. 1t is de-
sired to perpetuate the names OF con-
| tributors by placing them upon the
! tiles with which some of the rooms are
| to be finished, and for this purpose in
ecriptions are to be divided into shares
| of 81 (gold each. Each contribution OF
81 (gold) win therefore entitle the do
nor to have his own name or that OF
some friend whom he may designate
placed upon one of the tiles. For in
stance, one person proposed to take a
sufficient number of these shares to
| place upon these tiles as a roll of honor
| the names Of all of the men of the
Fourteenth infantry who have laid
down their lives in the Philippines.
| As 1t is to be a building for the sol
diers' use we do not believe that the
enterprise will fail for lack of support
| from the men. Some good man ought
toSbe found In every company who will
bring the matter to the notice of his
| comrades and forward their subscrip-
tions either to us or to Chaplain Pierce.
Separate certificates are to be made out
in each case and win be duly forward
ed. The Hongkong and Shanghai bank
will be the depository OF funds We
hope and believe that the men of the
division OF the Philippines will give
their hearty support in behalf of an en-
terprise so bread in its scope and so
valuable in every feature. The build
ing is needed. Let every man do his
share toward securing it.

NEW RELIGIOUS RETREAT.
Methodist Minister Plans For n Mod

Methodist Minister Plans For a Mod
fled Roman Catholic Observance.
There is much discussion In religious
circles on the upper west side. of New
York city caused by an innovation
planned for by the Rev. DR.. Philip NJ
Waters, pastor of Grace Methodist
Episcopal church on West One Hun
dred and Fourth street. between Co
lumbus and Amsterdam avenues. The
new departure is the proposed holding
of a Methodist religious retreat"
somewhat similar to those which long
have been q custom I'm the Roman
Catholic and the Episcopal denomina-
tions. Rev. DIR. Waters plan, accord
ing to the New York Sun, Is to have the
people who wish to participate assem-
BILE in their own local house of worship
instead of going away to some other
designated place OF seclusion. Mr..
Waters says:
THE plan has been in my mind for q
considerable time. and finally | deter
mined to bring 1t before the official
board of the church. II was discussed
in all its bearings, and the result was
that 1t was left for me to 60 ahead and
do what l deemed best. l can now say
that the retreat will be held in the near
future. and a whole week Will be set
apart for the purpose. During the
week, which in due time will be desig-
mated and announced In circulars. the
people will be invited to participate
with US in retirement from worldly
cares and the strife OF secular life to
mediate upon spiritual matters and
the welfare OF their souls"
