Aid for the Chaldesn chursh

Putnam wax visited last week by lwo men of foreign appearance, who called on many of our citizens asking aid for the Ghaieiean church. They presented credentials VI extensive that no one but 2 man Of leisure could Ind time or inclination to read them, bni succeeded in getting few eontfibn- tons. Res Ff. Van den NDot ot -t. Maryfs church, and Reg. r D. Sargent Of the Congregational church, advised their congregations on sunday nlofp- i9g to eeaiine their beueYelenees tg or- gannaiions q which they had absolute knowledge. .The following article from Che eongreeall9nalist or June 18th l. ssid t0 haze reference to These men.
 The ehnnehe. owe debt fe Rev. F. t stevens of Yaab Lon, < b, for fe+ cent investigations concerning the character and credentials of certain priests who have been diligently can sassipg in Inc Middle West for several years They have worked in the sup posed interests Of churches, schools, and ofphanages of the Cbaldesn Church in Eastern Turkey. In Yank- ton, fifteen of these men have called at the Congregational parsonage within two years asking for money and the minister's endorsement.
 Through an American counsel MT. stevens received letter concerning a certain Deacon Samuel Daniels com missioned by Mar s3ergios, Bishop of the Chaldeans, which exposes sys- tenn of Worldwide fraud. An English official in close touch with Mar Ser gius and his operations states:
 The bishop does not often give let ters commenting the bearer to the charitable and giving him more or less authority to collect flor the church Tn the countries to which he goes. The bearers represent themselves as collect Ing for church building, schools. or. phanages, etc In no case have l ever known of any Of The money given To be spent on anything but the benefit Of the collector himself, nor could the Pa. tfinfeh of the church who is known as Mar ,himum and who resides near Jnlamerkl tell me of such case. The Patriarch has made efforts to stop this traffic. He has not, however, been hitherto able to control hts colleagues.
 In MT. Stevens opinion the chief damage done k mol the financial loss Of benevolent funds, great as fl is. The chief evil lies in the prejudices which these frauds create against real phil. anthfopy in foreign lands. His inses. tigattoHs have led him te believe that, during the past Two or three years, more money has been given these men in the trans Mississippi prairie states from mcmbefs of the Congregational churches than they have contributed To the work of the American board.

Wilkinson Park.

A special appeal has been sent out by members Of the committee having in charge the park al the Falls, for further contributions of funds, made necessary to meet the debt incurred in hastening the completion ot the work on the park, to have |. done as early as possible.
 While II is source of qualification te know that they have won the com mendation If all who have seen 1t in It's more finished condition, IL k dimi- nished somewhat by the burden Of debt yet to be met by voluntary con. tflbutions from friends.
 The very first response to the last ap. peal, was from Mt. l.. A. Swain, of pomffet, who had already contributed, but was So greatly pleased with the changed appearance around the Falls, making 1t a wonderfully attractive breathing space, that he added another contribution h meet the debt.
 The second person la respond to the call was Mrs. NJ. W. Wagner, who k one of our longtime residents Her cheek was a substantial one.
 The qualification of knowing that you have had a hand In helping to pre- serve the surroundings Of this master. piece of Nature, from further business enetoaehments, and at the same time have it adorned with beautiful,grounds for public luse for all time, will give ample returns to all who have given aid to help pay the cost.
