The new and magnificent 100000

order, and could not be replaced for
less than $4,000. The building must
be removed and attempt was made to
sell 1t at auction, but the highest bid
was only $500. and there was no sale.
Since then an offer of $500 has been
made.
Mayor Armstrong suggested tho
purchase OF a lot in the vicinity and
to remove the building and a commit
tee is now acting upon the suggestion
and will get estimates of cost. The
mayor says the building is well adapt
ed for light manufacturing purposes
and believes that IL the building Is
moved the New London Board OF Trade
or New London Business Mems asso-
citation would take over the building
and have II occupied by small manu-
featuring concerns, make ii an indus
trial building and advance the manu-
featuring interests OF New London.
The plan seems feasible. but the pros
poets are that the building will be sold
for less than the cost OF the shingles.

REV. DR.. MCREA
WELL RECEIVED BY
DR. MEADS FLOCK
New Pastor Of Centenary M. E.
Church Makes a Good
Impression.

The Rev. DIR. Abel C. McCrea, the
newly appointed pastor. of Centenary
M. e. Church, delivered his initial SER
mon yesterday morning before an audi
ence that packed the auditorium of that
church. No mention of the trouble
caused by the transfer of the Rev.
Charles L. Mead by Bishop Nelly was
made by the pastor, and the congrega-
ton and official board did all in their
power to make Dr. McCrea feel at home.
The official board welcomed him ever
before he had gotten inside the church,
and after the service as many as were
able of the 1900 attending crowded
about their new pastor to shake hands.
DIR. McCrea took for his topic 1.-THE
Mixed Fear and Joy of the Resurrec-
ton the text being Matthew Xxx, s.
He said in part:
I'm His parallels Christ mentions the
joy of finding something and of saving
it, using the familiar Illustration of the
lost coin. We know the thrill of pleas
ure that is ours when we find a coin;
but what must have been Christ's JOY in
finding not a mere coin, but a whole
race of men. and more, of saving that
race from eternal destruction?
at was this joy, combined with the
joy of fighting hand-in-hand with God
the Father, that gave Christ His motive
for %conquering the world. All through
His many struggles with the evil one
Christ was always in touch with God.
He was always on the borderland of
this world and the next, and even to-
day we feel that He is here, just beyond
our vision, but here.
so, to go forth, to fight our battles
with sin and to glory in the fighting; to
feel that with our desires calling us we
can yet say no-that is the true Easter
JOY"

INFIDELS SCORED
BY EVANGELIST HERE,
Ferdinand Shiverea Speaks in
Wallace Hall.

Ferdinand Shiverea, the evangelist,
spoke in Wallace Hall yesterday on the
topic "A Question No Infdel Can An
swer.'' A small audience was there to
greet him, and he commented Upon the
fact, stating that too many men put
more value upon sports and not the
proper estimate upon themselves.
The speaker took for his text st.
Matthew, xvi, rs, For what is a man
profited If, he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?'
"~'Infidels,' he declared, believe that
men have no souls We believe and
know that they have"
He likened the soul and body of man
to the work and case of a watch.
The soul, the works. he said, that
have been put into the case, this ami
mated mass of clay. is a mans indi-
viduality, his personality, his own self.
The infdel claims that when, we die
we are no better than horses. In my ,es-
timation a man who talks like that isn't
worth as much as a horse when he is
alive"
Mr.. Shiverea. who is a former actor,
will deliver lectures at Wallace Hall on
the remaining Sunday afternoons in
April.

Was his action in harmony with the
divine plan?" went on Mr.. Scudder.
WAS it the divine life incarnate in the
human that prompted the appoints
ments? Should such absolute power BE
vested in one man. and if so. should
that power be in the hands of one man
who resides far away from the confer
ence and cannot sufficiently know the
conditions TO be perfectly sure of the
wisdom of his own Judgment? Can he
properly weigh all the facts, receiving
them from the lips of Others, rather
than from personal contact with the
c~hurches2 2"
/, Mr.. Scudder said that the bishop had
come through Belleville the Saturday
before the appointment was made and
based his action Oh his observations at
that time. The only thing he ques-
toned was the wisdom of allowing one
lman, living outside of the conference
and ~unacquainted with the conditions
in it, to provide for the needs Of the
churches in it.
He concluded, however, by saying
that he was happy to be where he was
wanted.
