Since the resignation of DR.. Lester
L. West, as pastor of the Second Con-
gregational church, which, wnen IL
takes effect, will leave the church
without a pastor, there has been con-
siderable quiet consideration of the
possibility of the consolidation of the
Second church and the Broadway Con-
gregational church, With such in view
there have been two meetings of OFF,
Gals of the two churches when the
possibilities of such action have been
talked over and it has been presented
to number of the members of both
churches for the purpose of sounding
the feeling of the congregations rela-
tive to such move.
The outcome of the matter, which
has not as yet been presented to eth
er church as a body, is yet very I'M
certain. There will be doubtless much
opposition to the idea. Perhaps the
strongest argument that can be used
in behalf of the idea is the fact that
the churches are so closely located
that they are drawing from the same
section of the city, a fact which has
been felt for some time would ulti-
mately bring about an agitation for
consolidation, but which has been
FASTENED by DR.. Vests resignation.
Neither church is in debt and the
finances are such that consolidation
need not be urged, Broadway being
the Weather church in this respect.
Some months ago the society commit
tee of the Second church was APP
preached in regard to the sale of the
property of the church. but that was

unanimously turned down. The Sec
ond church has a membership of about
800, while the membership at Broad
way church is about 500.
What action will be taken when the
matter is presented to the churches
separately, if it goes as far as that,
cannot be foretold That there will
be much opposition is certain from
the attitude of a number of the prom
inent members.
The talk of consolidation will prob
ably come as a surprise to num-
Der of the members of both churches.
The Second church is the parent
church, the ecclesiastical society being
organized November 20, H5l, while
the church was organized July "a. 1850.
and Rev Nathaniel Whitaker was in
stalled the first pastor seven months
later. Services were held in Trap
tavern. now the Bill block, corner OF
Shetucket and Little Water streets
The first church was built in 1865
nearly opposite Sevin's drug store
which was burned in 1888. In 1895 q
frame building was erected where the
present church stands. but the pres
ent church was erected in 1S45. being
built of stone furnished by Genera
Williams from his quarry in Love lane
road.
1t was in 1912 that a number of the
members withdrew from the Seconc
church and formed the Broadway Con.
gregational church, and on April ,
1874, the corporate body of Park Con-
gregational church withdrew from the
Second church.

FAVOR MASS MEETINGS
TWICE A WEEK.
Executive Committee Believe That the
Regular Sunday Evening Services
Should Be Resumed.

Tuesday afternoon meeting OF the
union evangelistic executive committee
was held at which the question of hav-
ing further union services on Sunday
evenings was brought up. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that these should
not continue, but that the churches
should hold their own regular Sunday
evening services. while a series of mass
meetings. on Tuesday and Friday even
ings of each week shauld be held. The
idea is to have one of these MEETINGS
in the central part of the city and the
other in the outskirts each week.
The suggestion was turned over TO
the bust ness mems committee. which
is to arrange a schedule for the meet
ings and report it at the mass meeting
in Broadway church on Friday night.
The union chorus is to sing at the
weekly mass meetings.
The freewill Offering made to DR. n.
w. Slough at the conclusion of his
evangelistic campaign amounted to
$1,1O0 The union chorus made its
director, D. Lansing Spooner, special
present of a purse of s25 and five
pound box of candy which he especial
ly liked, and also gave to Arthur L.
Herring, the baritone soloist, present
of s. and a box of candy.

At REST IN SPLENDID 1oMss.
Costly Monuments Over Infant Emo.
Iish Princesses.

The Princesses Sophia and Mary, the
infant daughters of James l., are bur-
led at the east end of the north aisle
OF Henry wills chapel, Westminster
abbey. and their tombs are probably
the most costly monuments which
commemorate infants. Princess So
phia's tomb represents a cradle made
of different colored marbles, with the
figure Of a child sleeping within it,
and the lace of the counterpane and
the embroidered cover are wonderful
ly wrought. Princess Mary's monu-
ment Is quite different and is a sar-
cophagus, on which rests the reclin-
ing figure Of 4 child The angles at
base are filed with small figures of
children and the whole is richly orna-
mented. The epitaph is in Latin and
the English translation is worth re-
peating for its pretty idea:
have found gladness for myself and
have left desire to my parents.
While you rejoice for me mourn with
them!
In Fuller's time the tombs of the
little Processes we're much visited
and in q passage in his writings
he speaks of the tears which were
shed by tender-hearted women over
this remarkable monument.

EXERCISE FOR THE sEDENTARY.
Thirty Jumps Before Breakfast Ont
Of Two Recommended,

In the thick of winter busy men find
their usual exercise curtailed, and
must look about for some easy way in
which to keep themselves in condition.
Many walk to and from their places
OF business, but these generally live
within three or four miles of their Of
fees.
II you aren't one Of these, try q reg
ular course of jumping. One of your
winter maxims should be: Thirty
jumps before breakfast" II you stick
to this all through the cold spell you
will come out in the spring as fit as
proverbial violin.
Take an ordinary heavy kitchen
chair. Near it place a heavy rug or
an ordinary front door mat. Jump on
the chair, then jump of again onto
the mat. Keep this up for 30 times.
and your exercise is accomplished. In
the long jump, jump from the bare
floor onto an old mattress. in bare feet
or in socks.
Vaultins is another splendid and
easy exercise. A regular vaulting
horse Is. of course. seldom available,
but an ordinary strong rail fence will
be found serviceable for the purpose.

If l didn't have to listen respectfully
to the orderly every time he comes
in and makes one of his Infinitely nu-
merous reports. and put men in jail
when l don't want to.
Some of these 900 men look more
