MUCH ENTHUSIASM
 OYER NEW CHURCH
OVER EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS HAS BEEN RAISED BY MEMBERS OF WESLEY CHAPEL-WlLL RE CURE TWELVE THOUSAND.

Much enthusiasm over the projected new church building of Wesley chapel was manifested at the services held yes- terday.
 The names of those who have subscrib- ed and the amounts of the subscriptions were read, and 1t was found that about SS4O0 had already been raised with pros poets of getting the remainder of the necessary s12,0O0 in few days. It was decided to begin work on the new struc- ture in the next few days. The old frame building has been moved off the lot ill order to allow work on the excavations to commence.
 The committees are out working with remarkable spirit, and have been suc- cessful to no small degree. The church will be erected on the corner of Jasper street and Seventeenth avenue, which is the center of the district in which most of the members reside.
 The church Is in better condition and with better prospects than ever before About six hundred members are now on the rolls, and the congregation is stead fly increasing.

.BEATITUDES THE
 PREACHERS THEME
Rev. Dr.. McCarty Fills Mr.
 Moneys Pulpit.
AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE
The Minister Discusses the meaning of the Beatltudes and Points Out Their Unlty-Highest Bless
 Ing Ever Pronounced.

The Rev. Dr. T. R. McCarty, formerly Greensboro, preached an edifying sermon at the Second Presbyterian church yes- terday in the absence of the Rev. U. D. Mooney, who Is out of the city on his vacation. His theme was the beatitudes. His text was taken from Christs ser mon on the mount, Matthew 51 to 12.
 He explained that 1t was an ancient seated while delivering discourse; so when Christ was seated His disciples were gathered around Him. But the words of Christ compared with the words of other men are as the sun compared with artificial lights. Though they are oft repeated they are ever fresh as the springlng fountain and healing as the balm of Gilead. They are apples of gold in pictures of silver"
 The speaker then discussed at length the meaning of the beatitudes. Each opens with a blessing and closes with a promise. They are not. he said, as some have supposed a cluster of gems 
 there is a golden concord of unity, and an harmonious blending like tho chimes of the cathedral bells.
 With a few masterful strokes Jesus put upon the canvas perfect delniation of Christian experience, beginning In the valley of humility, Blessed are the poor in spirit" and ending upon the mount
 
 they that are persecuted for righteous ness sake.'
 The second step is Blessed are they that mourn" Not because there Is crepe on the door. but because there is sin They shall be comforted and for given. Then comes meekness, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, merci- fulness and purity of heart
 Next comes "Blessed are the peace makers" Not merely those who make peace between nations and communities of men. but those that make peace be- tween man and God, for they are Christ ians, and children of God.
 Then comes the highest blessing ever pronounced, but coming as the climax, Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake" The soldier wounded in battle for his country. re- celves his reward from his country, and he who suffers for Chrlst's sake, "Great is his reward In heaven"
 Dr. McCarty is an eloquent speaker, and close attention was paid to his sermon throughout. It Is probable that Mir. Mooney will fill hls pulpit next Sunday, as he is expected to return this week.
