some revenue from them? Moreover. the
rental Of pews was a custom of our fore
fathers. and was based on sentiment as
well as on practicabllity. How many
poems had been written about the family
pow?
Mr. Ball. closing for the negative, con-
tended that It was hardly necessary TO re-
fute the argument that the rental OF pews
was the proper method OF church support,
since in practice It had nearly always
proven unsuccessful. He did not believe
there was church in the city that could
support itself by pew rent alone. The vol
untary support Of a church was a pleasure
but who could find pleasure in paying
pew rent Had anyone OF those present
ever attempted to collect delinquent pew
rentsY In hard times what was the first
thing the church member did?-stop pay
ing his pew rent. 1t was regarded as
burden. He could understand the senti-
ment Of the thing but didn't it confer a
special privilege upon the rich. since uni
form rentals we're impossible? Had any OF
his auditors ever tried to get a seat in
one of those rich pew-renting churches in
New York? Spontaneous giving was the
only true method OF church support. The
envelope system was the best in that It
did not confer any special privilege and
yet was as certain and definite as the
rental Of pews.
The debate was followed by a general
discussion in which several took part. A
vote was taken upon the subject and It
was decided in favor Of the negative.
] The business meeting OF the union was
held preceding the debate. The Rev.
Joshua II. Crawford reported for the com
mittee on evangelism, in which he spoke
of the revival meetings Just closed at
Central Church. About sixty conversions

DECIDE AGAINST
PEW RENTAL PLAN
Subject Debated Interestingly
Last Night by Presbyterian
Union

Rental of pews as a method Of church
support was debated at meeting Of the
Presbyterian Union in West Church last
night, W. S. Prickett and L. L. Doremus
taking the affirmative and J. Frank Ball
and Charles n. Bower the negative. The
question was:
Resolved, That the rental Of pews is
the proper method of church support"
Ali of the debaters are leading churchmen
and vitality interested in the subject of
church finances. The question was decided
I'm favor OF the negative-against rental Of
pews.
Mr.. Prickett opened for the affirmative
by declaring that rental of pews was the
best method OF church support in, that it
was defnitee and certain in amount and
regular in payment, in contradistinction
to other modes of financial support The
rental ow pews was emlnently practicable.
since IL was legal and payment could be
enforced. II was a mode OF support that
required no constant and embarrassing
appeal and makeshift. Mr.. Prickett gave
instances OF undignihed efforts to raise
church money where the rental of pews
was not practical.
For the negative Charles N Bower
opened by proclaiming the system OF en-
velope collections the most appropriate
method of raising money for the church.
His own church had adopted that system
with extraordinary success. He was sure
that it was less awkward than the rental
Of pews, and brought more funds. Under
the envelope system the number Of con-
tributors was greatly increased tho con-
gregational meetings were more largely
attended and the influence Of the few
eliminated. II was not the amount OF
money contributed that was OF the great
est Importance. but the number of con-
tributors. which was always increasing
under the envelope system. As to the GER
tainty OF money from the rental Of pews
and the legal enforcement Of its payment

Scripture. and not an assessment. a tax
or a rent.
Mr.. Doremus for the affirmative ad-
raitted that the pew rental system could
certainly be misused and that the en-
Nelope system could be made Of the high
est valuable; nevertheless, since the
church in its pews had something tangi-
bic. and valuable, why should II not deriv'

ITCHING IRRITATION.
Worst Form of Skin Trouble Quickly
Cured by inexpensive Treatment.

WOFeA ToTtl OF 0NAH NTobbte GAiSNlI
Cured by inexpensive Treatment.
When you suffer with any skin
trouble, even though the itching
seems unbearable, do not think that
il is necessary to use some disgusting
greasy ointment. Try Hokara, a pure
and simple skin food, that is guaran-
teed to contain no grease OF acHs
and which is so cleanly that it does
not soil the linen.
Its power 10 instantly relieve any
irritation Of the skin and make il soft
white and beautiful is almost miracu-
lous
Not only are minor skin troubles
like pimples, blackheads, acne. bar
ber's itch. etc, quickly cured, but the
worst ulcers or cases of satl rheum
or eczema are cleansed and healed by
this wonderful skin food.
In order that any one may try Ho-
kara at small expense N. B. Danforth
is selling a liberal sized jar at Csc and
in addition guarantees to refund the
money if the treatment does not do
all that is claimed for it. Larger size
so cents.
IF the skin disease is caused by i'm
pure blood OF if the bowels are inac-
tive, use Hokara Blood Tablets. They
cool and cleanse the blood and regulate
the bowels in a natural way"

While the Paris critics are still dis
putting whether Rostand's ''Chantecler'
is merely a literary success or a
dramatic failure, the Paris milliners
have been quick to herald it as an his
toric event. To the greater glory of
French art It has already given a boom
to trade as far away as London, and
long before Easter its influence
promises to be felt in New York.
The decree has gone forth from the
capital on the Seine that "Chantecler"

it likes II or not the rest of the civilized
world is in for a season of the Guitry

itself, among the birdgods of fashion
"Chantecler'' will soon rule supreme.
King Edward may start a style in
mems hats, but in women's modes the
stage leads. There is no living queen
or empress who in the diameter Of
hats exercises so potent a sway over
her worshipful subjects as did the
