HIGHLAND PARK
HAS NEW CHURCH
oIivet Presbyterian Is Organized with
Ninety-seven Charter Menu
bers-Is Result of
Split

The Olivet Presbyterian church of
Highland park was organized yester-
day afternoon with ninety-seven char
ter members at a meeting held in the
Christian church, corner Avenue SO and
Monte Vista street
The new church is the result of the
former pastor of the Highland Park
Presbyterian church, Rev. +. p. Berry,
having been voted out of the pastorate
and his followers uniting in the for
nation of the new congregation.
The little church was well filled with
the members and those interested in
the welfare of the new church. Pretty
Neutrality-suspicious. were distributed on
the platform, near which were seated
the following Presbyterian ciergymen:
Revs. Hugh K. Walker, w. F. Mac
laren, G. c. Butterfield, d. r. Col
merry and F. P. Berry.
Rev. Walker breaches
Rev. Hugh K. Walker, chairman of
the committee on organization,
preached the sermon, taking his text
from Romans 1915. He said in part:
There is nothing more important
than true religion In the home 1t
was not until the fourth century that
church buildings were erected. The
first church service held in Rome was
in a house. The church building Is
not the only place of worship. We
can worship in the groves or on noun
tain tops. OF course we have our
different moods and some Of the most
devoted moods are outside of the
church. We should emphasize the fact
not to look too much to the mere
form of religious worship. There was
no Christian architecture In the time
of Christ. We got our architecture
from the pagans and not from the
teachings of Christ. 1 do not like the
cathedral idea of church worship.
There is many a man who jumps
into a reform movement and smashes
1t all to pieces But he who carefully
studies the reforms from the convic-
ton of his heart does much good in
fhe world

We did not succeed very well, as we
had an early fall that year. and one
morning we woke to find that we had a

For two months we stayed there

and the salt pork we had stored up for

Hiqh Priced Elections.

a century ago elections in England
were costly affairs. In one case half
a million pounds was spent on one
election alone This was the great
contest for Yorkshire, in which the can
didates were Niscount Milton, the Hon.
Henry Lascelles and Mr.. Wilberforce
Wilberforce won at cost of fjS,000
with every resource of the most rigid
economy and great voluntary assist
ance in labor"
Mrs. Fanny Kemble tells Us of an
other Yorkshire contest where the
money seems to have been spent just
as freely. Mrs. Wentworth Beaumont
is the heroine. "She, then very old
lady, drove in her travelling carriage to
Downing street and, demanding to see
the prime minister, with whom she
was well acquainted, accosted him
thus: We'll, my lord, are you quite de-
termined to make your man stand for
bur seat? Yes Mrs Beaumont,
think quite determined Very well,
replied the lady, I am on my way
iown TO Yorkshire with $4,000 in the
carriage for my man. Try and do bet

And you were ass enough ito do it,
Of course:"
He made a feeling appeal to me, O
sage"
Feeling nonsense! There is no feel
ing in business. When was the note
due?'
Only yesterday"
And Brown couldn't pay it. and YOU
had TO, and now you have come whin-
ing around for some of my wisdom.
Go TO. | have none TO give
But thou art mistaken. o sage.
Brown had the sugar to pay the note
and took it up
''He did,"
Truly he did. And | came not here
to beg for thy wisdom"
Then what brought thee
ITO work the wisdom racket myself.
My pointer is that when q man wants
you to back his note don't chew straws
over it. It's just little business cour-
tesy and prolific of the warm glow.

Fair Play,

him personal proprietary interest in
