The Rev DR.. George c. Lorimer. of the Madison
Avenue Baptist Church. who seen by a Trib-
une reporter yesterday, denied the story In which
he was quoted talking about the plans OF MS
congregation for a church
II have never talked about that matter, said
DR. Loriner. He then gave the following state
ment of views on the subject:
the problem of up or down town churches in

Hebt on the subject But 1. thus far. believe, so
20 as nv own church is concerned, that IL occu-
nIes an important field. and can see no reason why
IL should change Its location 1nere mas oeen no
ofticiaI talk of a new building. What has got into
circulation has simply grown out OF the increasing
size of the congregation, which II II continues. Will
