4 THE4TRE PREACHER.
DR.. Madison {. Peters's Plans
47cakcn Great Interest.

Much interest aroused last week in both
religious and secular circles when DIR. Madison
c. Peters announced that as soon as the Baptist
Church Of the Epiphany. of which he has been
the minister for the last year. vacates the pres
ent site. at Madison avenue and Saith street on
or about December 3, to give place to twelve
story apartment house, and the congregation is
established in a new temporary home. he will
begin movement TO reach the unchurched
masses regardless of race or creed. For this
purpose he has leased the Majestic Theatre on
Columbus Circle, fer morning services, beginning
the first Sunday in January. This building has
a seating capacity Of about two thousand people
DR.. Peters Is also in negotiation for downtown
theatre in Broadway for the evening services.
DR.. Peters's purpose in this forward move
ment is TO become "the peoples preacher" and
the services, while they will be stately and dig
nifed will aim 70 be popular and attractive
and absolutely unsectarian." DR.. Peters in an
interview said that he had almost arranged for a
similar movement last year when he accepted
the call 10 his present pastorate.
During his absence from New York, after re-
signing the pastorate of the Bloomingdale
church. DR.. Peters preached Sunday nights

in the Park Theatre in Philadelphia, which. with
its seating capacity of 2,44S, was filled to over
flowing at every service.
With upward of thirty theatres open every
Sunday afternoon and evening in Manhattan
alone for vaudeville performances DR.. Peters
believes that the time has come for the. Church
to avail herself OF the popularity of the theatre
10 preach the Gospel There are. he says. fewer
Protestants in New York day thar there were
twenty five years ago, and many OF most
eloquent preachers, pastors of the fashionable
churches. preaching to fewer than fifty men
on the falrest Sunday mornings.
In speaking further Dr. Peters said:
The fact is the churches have been serving
Christianity ice, and sinners afraid Of
coming into sacred refrigerators for fear of
catching the chillS. | do not believe that l was
either by nature by calling intended to be an
apostle to the gentees. l believe that the
preacher should be fisher of men, and if run
Of herrings go away from his section OF the sea
and a shoal OF smets take their place, he is not
much Of fisherman If he doesn't change his
net instead of sticking the old one. which has
been a failure in the catching line. I am simply
going to alter my machinery to the needs OF the
people
The Baptist Church of the Epiphany has not
yet decided where settle. While many favor
the West Side, there is strong feeling for the
East Side and 1t is altogether likely that on
December the church will worship temporarily
in the Young Mems Christian Association hall.
in East Seth street, near Lexington avenue; but
wherever the church finally settles, the idea OF
the family church will be main ntained. This. DR..
Peters contends. is the mistake that all the
Protestant churches of New York have made.
the idea OF the Church relation based on the
family that can live in private house, for, this
preacher says. when that social unit moves
away from them they are lost The church is
showing her interest in the pastors under
taking BY subscribing TO the movement literally.

ZION CITY DEAD.
Will Soon Lose Individuality as a Religious
Community.

Chicago Nov. 16.-Zon. Zion. is dead Wilbur
Noiva, overseer Of Zion and head of the Christian
Apostolic Church in America, declared, after SER
vices held in the Dowe temple Michigan avenue
and 10Th street last evening" that he had given his
permission for the property IN the north shore OF
the city to be taken and the Indebtedness to
be lifted on the church.
The announcement means that outsiders may
now enter Zion and purchase property: further
that the church and the commerce will be divorced
The general impression is that Zion will soon
lose its individuality a religious settlement.
1t is said that the decision was reached after an
order issued by Judge LGrdis yesterday morn
ing whereby agreement was entered into be-
tween Mrs. Jane Dowe and Receiver Hately in
which Mrs. Dowie relinqIshes all claims to prop
erty in Zion city in confederation of retaining
possession OF the Ben MacDliui property at White
Lake. Mich. The settlement will bring to an end
the personal attacks OF NOliva Mrs. Dowie and
Gladstone Dowie, at least for the present and the
exposes promised several days ago will not be
made.

planning for the establishment Of a

Of Public Building Commissioners ar.
ranged to send Superintendent O. W.

tour Of Eastern States for the purpose
of gathering data which will enable
this state TO avoid tho errors for which
other states have paid by dear expert.

Of similar institutions In tho Eastern

lay this important work much longer
without laying us liablc 10 the charge
Of ncgiecting one OF the most important
