New York, Dec 22.--Addressing his wealthy congregation at the close of the formal sermon to-day, Dr. c. F. Aked, who recently came from Liver pool to become pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church here, declared somewhat emphatically that he would not contemplate a permanent ministry in the church if the system of finance which made possible a deficiency at the end of the year was continued q want said Dr. Aked "s7,o0O from you before you leave this church this morning." He got it,
 He said the fact that some members of the congregation were wealthy has led others to put the burden of the support of the church on them.
 Tt is not fair; it is mean spirit" " exclaimed Dr. Aked. It has raised up a crowd of stingy souls who won't sup port the church. It isn't fair to me. You have no right to put a man in charge of that church when you won't support him. It isn't fair to the church. I am tired of hearing this church called MT Smiths, MT. Browns or MT. Robinson's church. I want $7,000 before you leave this church The finances must be reorganized sc that nothing of this kind can ever han. pen again.

No Feeling of Hopelessnesa Alp parent in New England, and a Full Revival is
 Looked for.
100000 ON SHORT TIME
This Likely to Continue for Some Time and Perhaps Until After EIeca tion--Banks Stood the
 Strain We'll.

Boston, Dec. 22--The opening of the last full week of the year finds con- seryatism predominant in al New Eng land industries, but there Is no feeling of hopelessness apparent anywhere and the general sentiment appears to be that trade will partially recover during 19OS though a full revival is not looked for until after the presidential cleo tion.
 As this city Is the center of the wool. hide, leather, boot and shoe and shoe machinery trades of the United State, and nearly hundred cotton and wool en mills have their head offices in Bos- ton, the commercial situation in the country at large is usually accurately reflected here. New England banks stood the financial strain better than institutions in other sections, only three banks being compelled to clost, Of thBse but one has resumed and second is making arrangements to do so. It is generally admitted that the financial outlook Is brightening.
 As a natural outcome of the financial disturbances New England industries are being conducted cautiously, and a policy of curtailment and reduction of expenses has been adopted in practi- cally all branches of trade.
 Many manufacturers regard 1t ad- visabl0 to restrict the output in order to prevent a, slump in prices and a great surplus of goods in the spring, Curtallment Is general among New England woolen mills, manay of which are running but four days a week and will continue to do So for some time.
 It is estimated that 50.0OO hands art affected in trade by the short time. IA nttmbef of mills which entirely will resume about Jan, 1, some of them or short time, machine shops, chair fac, tories and shoe factories, have alsc been restricting the output, but tht shoe factories are gradually going full time again, as that industry show more improvement than most the oth- erfL
 Hundreds of establishments will take advantage of the holiday week ant clnse in part or entirely. Nearly al will resume work next week.
 Whie a gradual improvement is look ed for, in 1908, it is estimated that iron 100000 to 25O,00O employees of New Eng. land industries will be on short time basis during the first part of the year This number will be an increase O about 10500O over the number affect ing last week, due to the arrangement nov being made by cotton manufac turers to curtail the output 25 per cent from Christmas until March l.
