idea of where he wishes to go he buys a railroad ticket. If he doesn't know where he wants to go there Is no one to tell him what is best, and the conse- quence is that he stops in some one of the larger cities, where he is usually much worse off than he would be if he had found suitable surroYndlngs-sur- roundings which would uNHze the best in him and give him adequate returns for his labor.
 MT. Sargent has already received as- surances that the different states ap- prove the idea heartily. As matter of course the hall will be under govern mental control and operated as a part of the immigration service, but the ex- hibits will be installed by the state and commercial bodies throughout the country. A competent corps of guides will be employed who will give full and detailed information regarding the displays to the immigrants. and 1t is not impossible that some of the states may wish to keep men at the hall to maintain their exhibits and explain the advantages offered settlers in the local- ities which they represent.
 "The tide of immigration Is growing stronger every year. In 1904 over 6O6,- GOO immigrants passed through Ellis island. This year I believe the figure will run about 75O.OOO, and the million mark. in my judgment, is but few years removed. In February of this year 67,116 immigrants came into the United States. In February, 1904, but .33, ,967 arrived.
 There is work waiting for the mil lions who are yet to come if they can only be put in the way of getting it. It seems to me that the industrial ex- hibit not only offers the best way prop erly to distribute the immigrants, but that it iS due to the prospective citizens as their right. This is the way Mir. Sargent looks at the situation.
 "To no state or city will come great. CT benefits from the practical method of turning the immigrants in. the right direction than to New York. In 1904 out of the total of something over SO0,. oOO immigrants 263, 15O stayed in New York. This is about g. per cent of the total. Five hundred and forty-one thou sand nine hundred and seventy nine, or about G per cent. settled in New York New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Is land, Connecticut and Pennsylvania But 3 per cent went to the south At lantic states. The south central di vision got but 1z024 immigrants com bIned. The western division gained < 4I.221, or G per cent.
 There is never a day when I do no, hear of sections of the country whici are doing everything in their power t attract immigrants. Particularly 1, this true of the south and west. A. soon as the exhibition hall Is built believe that more exhibits will be of tered than can be accommodated"

New Methodist Church Opening.

sunday, April 8, 1905, dawned
bright and beautiful and remain
ed It perfect spring day through
out. 1t was ideal for the formal
opening of the handsome new
edifice of the NJ. E. church,
South, in keytesville, which
had just been completed at a
cost of about $4,000.
The structure contains a COM
modlous auditorium, Sunday
school or prayer meeting room,
two Sunday school class rooms
and a minister's study.
The outer walls are of hydraul-
lc red pressed brick erected on
water. table of white sandstone,
which rests upon a foundation of
white sandstone of rubble mason
ry. The gables are of cypress
shingles. The inner walls are
plastered with acme cemnt, rough
sand finish, and painted in water
colors with stencil border. The
ceiling is made of diagonal
panels of hard pine. The win.
doWs are of art glass and add
greatly to the attractiveness of
the building. The circular pews
are of oak with quarter. sawed
ends. The pulpit and choir
ratings are made in panels of
! quarter sawed oak, natural fin
ish. The pulpit and pulpit
chairs are also of oak as are also
the Sunday school and choir
chairs The pulpit and pulpit
chairs are especially nice and
the latter are upholstered in tan
leather. The aisles and pulpit
and choir rostrums and the floor
space in front of the chancel are
} covered with fine velvet Brus-
sells carpet. The church is heated
by hot air furnace and brill
liantly lighted with a Royal gas
lighting plant.
The first service was held
there >aturday night and ap-
propriate talks were made by the
pastor, Rev. Robt. McIlvoy, and
Revs. Franc. Mitchell, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, and
Rev. Alpha Ingle, pastor of the
Baptist church at this place,
after which a very pleasant
social half hour was spent by
all who were present.
Sunday morning the formal
opening took place when Rev.
W. F. McMurry, D. D., pastor of
Centenary M. E. church, South,
St. Louis, preached, and then
proved his great ability as a
beggar by raising S1,220 from
the congregation to apply on the
remaining church debt of $1,000.
Besides other features of the
Sunday morning service Mr.. and
| Mann Of .oIr
most impressively sang soprano
and tenor duet.
Rev. McMurry preached again
Sunday night and succeeded,
after his sermon, in securing
more money, which now leaves
the church debt at something
less than S100.
The Methodists of Keytesville
and vicinity have every reason
to be proud of their new church,
and the COURIER most heartily
congratulates them and also ex-
tends a vote of thanks to all who
helped make such a desirable
and so elegant house of wor-
ship possible by contributing of
their means to build it, and
which is a splendid ornament to
our little city.
To Rev. Robt. McIlvoy, the
pastor, is due much of the credit
for he has worked increasingly
and he has been faithfully as.
sisted by the members of the
building committee.
