fact that the old building contained
much wood work, surrounded by stone

Edifice.

New York. March Cranky stat.
ing the disappointment he had ex'
perienced in his ministry to the
wealthy congregation OF the Firth
Avenue Baptist church. the Rev.
Charles F. Aked, formally announced
from his pulpit that he had received
a unanimous and enthusiastic call to
the First Congregational church OF
San Francisco and said he had been
unable to find any good reason why
he should not accept.
He regretfully acknowledged his
fears that the great enterprises which
he had hoped to lead as pastor of one
Of the wealthiest churches in America,
popularity known as the John D. Rookie
Teller church, were only such stun
as dreams are made Of.
Notwithstanding the $4,000 salary
offered him when he came here from
Pembroke chapel in Liverpool. Eng,
barely four years ago. and the recent
increase to $4,000, or his ties OF
friendship in the metropolis, he did
not see how he could contemlate a
permanent ministry here under pres

failure of the church to provide a
larger edif'ce and to undertake larger
enterprises. so far as we can see

ture for this church or for my min

He gave the Firth Avenue congre
cation 10 days of grace in which to
consider the situation before he should
say definitely whether he would accept
the call to the Pacific coast.
To the admonitions that he should
have patience for the evolution of the
great things, DR.. Aked replied thai
such an attitude calls for "the highest

which illumines detail and makes druid
