In the morning of life as we launch out
out 10 sea.
And are borne on by fair wind and tide,
All nature seems happy, joyous and free,
AS on the long billows we ride.
But soon on our voyage the clouds will
arise,
And our pathway be shrouded in gloom,
With breakers ahead that seem touching
the skies
And our bark rushing on to her doom.
Though my bark may be tossed by the
tempest and surge
And waves of despair DER me roll,
| shall look to the One whose delight is
to purge
Every stain from the storm-beaten soul
For He by His will causes the waves to
be still,
And quieted Gallilee's breast,
Then with Him at the helm, no wave car

And we II reach the glad Haven of rest

PROXIMITY TOO CLOSE.
CONFERENCE OF STATE BUILDING
COMMISSION. -

They Decide To Change The Building Line
To Bladen Street Instead Of College
Avenue-Too Close Proximity To First
M. E. Church Tower The Only Reason
For Making The Change.
A conference OF the members of the
commission of the new State building
was held yesterday afternoon in the Office
of Hon. John Writ Randall, member OF
the commission. Those present were,
besides Mr.. Randall, Z. L. Chinn. sur
veyor; Mr. Smith, of Smith Bros. the
contractors of the building, and repre-
sentative of Baldwin & Pennington, the
architects.
1t was decided to make Bladen street
the site of the, building lire OF the new
State building, instead of College avenue.
This will relieve the difficulty that stop
ped work on the foundation, which diff
Guilty was that the line of the building on
the southeast end was within three feet
of the tower OF the First NJ. E. Church. a
proximity thought too close by the archi-
tects. The change of building line re-
moves the building hve feet from the
church tower.
That the building was too near the
church was the only reason for stopping
work on the foundation. Mr.. L. Lacey
Chinn, the surveyor, who laid off the lot
on which the new State building is to be
erected, said "Work was stopped on
the new State building on account OF the
difficulty in determining in what position
to set the building-whether to set ii
parallel to College avenue or parallel to
-Bladen street, as the streets are not at
right angles.
"The foundation was first set parallel
to College avenue because that street had
been improved, but this brought the
southeast corner of the building too near
the First NJ. E Church tower; that is,
within three feet of il. In that position
an IS-foot pavement was lett on Bladen
street, but yesterday the location Of the
building was changed and moved two feet
southwesterly toward Bladen street, which
places the southeast corner OF the build
ing FIVE feet from the church tower and
leaves a I6-toot pavement on Bladen
street, which widens to 20 at the end OF
it. The whole matter was one OF taste In
locating the building on the lot. The
plans were not too large for the lot. The
change in location has not cost the
State one cent.
