RoclkefelIer's Church.

New York, Feb. 14.-That the Rev.
DR.. Aked feels that he is wasting his
time as pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church in this city, Of which
John D. Rockefeller is a leading
member, and that the famous English
preacher contemplates leaving his
present pastorate for some more
promising field of labor, possibly in
California, is set forth in statements
of an unusual character made by Dr.
Aked to a British news agency for
publication this week in England. He
says:
IF could be content with a very
easy berth and a very generous salary
among the most charming people of
the world. the position 1 now hold
would be plain and clear and my flu
ture settled, but can not be content
with a work that seems to me to be
small. se
THE question of salary does not
weigh with me. 1t is perfectly true

salary to $4,000 from $4,000, but ]

hold little odds and ends which must
be burned. On the table have well
selected books and magazines. Keep
gay postal cards in a neat postal card

them, for pretty as they are they soon
hang crooked and make a room look
untidy.

thing makes a room upset It is a pair
of tan shoes lying. pigeon-toed, under
