MUzzLED PREACHERS.
DIR. Parkhurst Interviewed Upon the
Subject.

The Rev. DR.. Charles II. Parkhurst was
asked by a representative of the Church
Economist recently to express his opinion
as to the relations between the preacher
and the church which engages him, re-
garding the freedom with which the former
may express himself in the pulpit DR..
Parkhurst said in part:
1.-THE Temple Emanuel trustees were
clearly in the right, and had the best of the
argument in the correspondence that pass
ed between them and DR.. Wise. read 1t
carefully. and that Is the conclusion
reached. 1t seems to me that the trustees
took the only stand 1t was possible for
them to take, all things considered, and
believe that this will be the general con-
clusion. 1t isn't at all question of muz-
zled pulpit.
'.The pulpit that DR.. Wise occupies is not
his The pulpit l occupy, or that may
occupy In the ordinary course Of circum-

Three years of poor fisheries at ST Pierre

are believed to be responsible for loss of
population. The last census showed a per-
manent population of about 1000 for these

many small owners out of business, the
number of vessels engaged in the bank
fisheries having decreased, as also the peo-

NEW YORK REVEALS
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY IN INTER
UNCONVENTIONAL WORK.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 10--Revival
services of an uncommon character, and of
a sort to merit the close study Of groups
of churches all over the country, are now
in progress In this city. The distinguish
ing features of these services are two-fold.
First is their Observation-Disclosures charac-
ter. Three neighboring churches unite, the
West End Presbyterian, the Hope Baptist
and the Grace Methodist Tuesday, Feb
ruary 20, an extraordinary incident is to be
a union communion service of the three
bodies at the Hope Baptist Church. This
is said to be the first instance when Bap-
list church, acting officially through its
pastor and deacons, has invited Presby-
terrain and q Methodist body to sit with 1t
at it's communion table.
The pastor of the Hope Baptist Church,
Rev. Richard Hartley, announced this pro-
gram at a recent meeting of the Baptist
ministers of New York. But a single
member of the association raised any OBJ
lection, and he was met by a storm of dis
approval from his Baptist brethren. Thus,
this Observation-Disclosures communion has
added significance through the semi-offi-
cial Endorsement of the Baptist ministers.
Three weeks Of special evangelistic
services follow, held for one week in each
Of the churches in turn, closing with a
second interdenominational communion
service at thee Grace Methodist Church.
At this service the elements will be dis
tributed through the congregation, not at
the altar rail. according to the Method1st
usage. There is to be also an old-fash-
toned Methodist love feast conducted by
the Methodist minister at the Presbyterian
church.
The other feature of special interest Is
that the meetings are to be wholly In
charge of and conducted by the three pas
tors, and without the traditional gospel
singers" The three ministers, Rev. A.
Edwin Kiegwin of the West End Presby-
terrain, Rev Richard Hartley of the Hope
Baptist and Rev. Baragwanath of the
Grace Methodist churches are all men or
experience in evangelistic work. Originally
a noted evangelist from out of the city was
engaged, but subsequently it seemed the
leading of the spirit to cancel the engage
ment and rely on the home pulpits.
A preliminary series of union prayer
meetings, held during January, including
special meeting for the officers of the three
churches has already developed notable
religious interest. and great results are
confidently expected from the FEBRUARY
services. The prayer meetings crammed
the main auditoriums of the churches.

NEW HEBREW HOME
PLANNED IN NEW YORK AND
MONEY GIVEN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 10-Plans for
the erection of new home for the He
brew Sheltering Guardian Society in this
city, to cost $650,000, were announced at
the annual meeting of the board of d.
rectors held at the institution 15Oth
street and Broadway. AS a stimulus to
the building fund Adolph Lewisohn, pres
ident of the society, contributed $4,000.
Several other large donations are ex-
pected this week from those interested in
the work. t=F
A committee was appointed to find a
suitable site of 400 or 500 acres within
easy reach of the city, and as soon as this
is obtained the work of building will be-
gin. The new home will be built on what
is known as the cottage home" system,
embodying the best ideas and the most
approved features of the foremost chill
drens institutions of the world.
Interest in the project was shown by
the large attendance of the members and
friends of the society. After some rou-
tine business President Lewisohn read his
annual report, which showed the institu-
ton to be on sound financial basis. 1t
also, showed that although the home was
crowded there had not been one case of
fatal illness among the $50 inmates in
the year. Speaking of the projected home
Mr. Lewiston said
THE present building has long been in
adequate to the demands of the institution
and the directors have carefully and thor
oughly studied the question of erecting a
new asylum to take the place Of the pres
ent one. AS result we have decided upon
the cottage plan or system and 1t is our
intention to purchase tract of land about
400 to 800 acres in extent, located within
about an hour and quarters time by rail
from the city, and to cost from 500 to $500
per acre. This tract of land would be large
enough to build forty cottages, each cot
tage capable of housing twenty-five chill
dren. We will also have to provide for a
school house, superintendent cottage, re-
ception house and hospital.
Cottages Independent.
1.-THE cottages would be independent of
one another, and yet be near enough to
afford social intercourse, and the children
would be practically members of one fam
ily and yet the members Of distinct little
household. We may start by building only
ten cottages, with the idea Of gradually
increasing the number to forty, which
would provide room for 1000 children.
1.-THE cost Of each of these cottages will
be about $4,000"

Marriage Among Persian Nomads.

From the New York Globe.
An interesting custom prevails among the
nomad tribes of Persia. Before becoming
eligible for marriage every girl has to prove
her skill by weaving two very fine rugs or
saddle-bags. 1t is this class of work which
is particularly priced in Europe and Amer
lea In 1904 a law was re-enacted by the
Persian government by which the customs
department was instructed to seize and
burn all carpets In the manufacture OF
which aniline dyes were used. total
cessation of exports resulted. and owing TO
the hardship inflicted by this decree the
manufacturers were granted a certain
period of grace in which to dispose of their
stocks of carpets.

Dropping Students.
From the Boston Herald.

From the BOstuH IttIHlu.
The University of California has taken
wise course in dropping from its rolls 2oo
students who failed to show at the mid
year examination that they had either am
bition or capacity. 1t is a notice to dullards
and idlers to betake themselves elsewhere.
It is asserted that the tuition fees OF no
American university are large enough 10
bear the cost of instruction. Every college
student, therefore, however rich, Is largely
a recipient of charity. Hence no student
has a right to use the college community
as a loafing place, occupying the time OF
the Instructors and distracting the atten-
ton of the pupils. go to the ant, thou

The adult members of the congregation
had not been informed of what was coming.
Rev. Mr.. Pitkin mounted the pulpit and an
nounced that the service would open with
the bible less" instead of the usual hymn
by the. choir. and that the cornetist who
leads the singing would lead the yell, he
having been taken into the pastors con-
fidence
The youngsters had by this time learned
the mystic symbols, and when the pastor
and cornetist led the way the building
fairly shook as these words rolled out of
200 youthful Threats, every little sinner put
ting all his voice into the work:
Say, my chum, have you seen
Second Timothy. two, fifteen; three, fifteen;
First John, one, SEVEN nine;
Romans, eight and sixteen?

Some of the older members of the con-
gregation didn't know whether to feel
scandalized or pleased, but the great ma
jority enjoyed the novelty and applauded
vigorously.
After few trials the children had the
bible YELL down pat, and gave it with
true rhythm and proper emphasis; and how
they did seem to enjoy It'll
The yell was repeated as often as an ex-
cuse could be found throughout the serv-
ice.
Speaking Of the matter today, Rev. Mr.
Pitkin said:
1.-THE Bible yell reused the interest of the
children and fixed in their minds the parts
of Scripture referred to. There probably is
not one person, young or old, who attended
the service who has not looked up the chap
ters and verses named in the yell, and l as

one has been benefited.

Odd Festival in Roumania.

From the New York Globe.
Halmagen, in Roumania, possesses a
unique public festival. It is little town of
about 200 inhabitants, and on the morning
of its annual fair day the population from
about eighty villages comes trooping In
swarms. Then there go out to meet them
all the young women, married or single, OF
Halmagen, each bearing a small flower
garlanded vessel of wine, and all attended
by their godmothers. AS the visitors ap-
proach the young women offer to each
taste of wine and a kiss. This strange Gus
tom is supposed to have its origin in the
escape, centuries ago. of some Haimagen
women, after being carried off by Turks.
AS they neared their own homes their joy
caused them to embrace every neighbor at
sight.
