CHURCH'S AIM IS
TO Be DEBT FREE
House of Prayer Making SUI
preme Effort to Be Indepen-
dent by 1914.

The House of Prayer. in Broad
street, never closes, unlike many of
the churches of the Protestant faith
in Newark but its guild work and
Sunday school activities cease until
September as July opens. Its serv,c es
on Sunday are at 1880 and 1920 a. m,
with evensong or vespers. The rec
tor, Father Miller, as he says, never
plans any vacation, but he may take
a rest of a week or two.
Father Miller. as rector. has served
the church twenty-four years and his
ambition this year is to free the
parish from debt of long standing.
For this purpose every effort is being
put forth to liquidate the outstanding
Indebtedness before January 1, 1914
Even in the time of Father Mortimer,
of the Cawley Fathers, OF Oxford
and Philadelphia, the aim of the
church was to make the House of
Prayer independent, but the Parish
is poor and the efforts of the consre-
cation have thus far been in vain.
Not less interesting than the aged
but suave rector of this church is his
wife, who, as she sits in the rectory,
almost colonial relic, surrounded
by furnishings as ancient as the
house that holds them, reminds one
of the figures that are found in old
mansions in New England. 1t is pa
thetic to see her as she points with
pride to her husband, saying:
"Oh, he never takes a vacation; he
is always here"
The Evening Star representa-
tive spoke of Bishop Grafton, who
died not long ago and who. besides
being remembered for his nobility of
character and saintliness in the
Episcopal Church, is recalled by the
thousands who knew him as one of
the handsomest, most splendid speci-
mems of manhood who ever wore the
Episcopal robe of office.
"Ah," said Mrs. Miller, Father
Grafton was a dear friend of our
family; he was saint, indeed!"

SUMMER REPAIRS
IN OLD TRINITY
Given Over to Painters and
Decorators-lts Curious
Foundation.

Trinity Episcopal Church will be
closed until September The services
beginning Whit Sunday will be held
in Trinity parish house, rs Rector
street. The Rev j. M. Miller, New
York clergyman, will be in charge.
Old Trinity Church itself was given
over on Tuesday, the day of the rec
tors departure for his summer vaca-
ton, to painters and plasterers for re-
decoration and repairs so complete
that old Colonel Josiah Ogden, the
founder, whose ashes lie in the church
graveyard. would not know it if his
spirit ever visits its hallowed aisles.
Among other improvements the
church win be equipped with electric
light. AS one member of the congre-
cation said, lifelong resident of
Newark I'VE must be abreast Of the
times, the church cannot lag, nor
must the material evidence of it's life
be allowed to decay" The lady who
said this loves Newark as her home
of lifetime. yet she is as intimately
connected with the activities of the
great metropolis, and her interests
there are as deep as in this city. The
house in which she spent hours as a
child there is one of those old,
sumptuous mansions of lower Fifth
avenue whose magnifcance of con-
struction is the wonder of builders
even today 1t is now the home of
Madame Nordica.
In connection with the renovation
of Trinity Church it may be said that
the First Presbyterian Church cam
not but have a passing interest in the
change. If it had not been for the
First Church there might not have
been Trinity parish. 1t was on a
summers day like those that have
opened the July of 1913 that Colonel
Josiah Ogden, somewhat later in the
month. saw that his hay was ready
for the scythe. i was of Sunday
that he determined to gather it into
his barn, and he did. The congrega-
ton of the First Church was scan
dalized. The Puritan spirit of the
worthy flock was aroused. A storm
of indignation followed But even in
that day rebellion was afoot. Ger
tain aristocrats of the church body
had long whispered that the service
was too plain; that there was too
much of the, leaven of "Old Iron
Sides These spirits Joined with
Colonel Ogden, and after long-eon-
tinued dispute decided to form an
Episcopal fold Thus Trinity origi-
mated It's repudiated mot her
church, the noble First Presbyterian
edifice, as superb an example of its
architectural type as any left in Lon
don itself, as it spreads its energies
north and south, does not look with
envy on Trinity, but the spirits that
hover over it in the crowded thor
oughfare may well ask, why did the
intolerant fanaticism of our fore
fathers ALLEVIATE goodly part of our
flock who would have worked for us
and garnered riches which should
have been our heritage.

NEW CHANT|CLEER
ON CATHEDRAL
For Sixty Years the Old En-
bIem Has Welcomed Cath
Ollie Worshipers.

Those who visit St Patrick S
Cathedral tomorrow will be struck by
the gilded splendor of the chanticleer
upon the farther tower as it crowns
the final. The symbol is a new one.
1t is in keeping with the noble APP
pearance of the cathedral in it's new
coating of paint. When it was de-
termined to renovate the cathedral
and repair the tower it was found
that the ancient cock, sacred alike
to the heather and the Christian, as
a symbolical emblem, was incrusted
with rust and ready to return to it's
original element of dust For sixty
years. or two generations, it had
served its purpose. The new chanti-
cleer now proudly lifts it's head, defy
ing the sun and the wind from its
lofty roost.
1t was with great dignity, and yet
gentle urbanity, that The Evening
Star representative was received by
the pastor of the cathedral. ,Monsignor
Whelan. AS If In depreciation of the
paucity of news of a Catholic signifi-
canoe he referred to the reparation
of the tower and the mounting of the
new emblem as perhaps of interest
to the readers of newspapers.
1t has been observed by the writer.
here az abroad, that the higher in
rank, either enthusiastically or in a
worldly sense. is the individual APP
preached for news, the more gracious
is the reception and the more barren
the result The excuse for this in
the case of the monsignor or the
bishop of the Roman Catholic Church
is that strictly speaking, the sensa-
tional dissemination of information,
common enough in the Protestant
fold, is unknown in the church OF
Rome. Seasons other than those of
peculiarly holy significance are in
different to il Summer heat means
no more than the paralyzing cold of
winter.
Thus, as Monsignor Whelan OBJ
served, whatever the time of year
the masses go on just the same. just
as many people attend these masses,
and they visit the sacred ediilce, not
TO hear a preacher of fame, not to
hear sermon at all, but to receive
that comfort which comes to them
through the sacrament
Monsignor Whelan talked openly
of subjects of deep concern to Pro-
testant and Catholic alike, but, as he
commented, that which is said
under the table among gentlemen is
not that which is suitable for the
newspaper"

INTERNATIONAL NOMINEE
SCORES LIQUOR TRAFFIC

With one exception no political
party has the courage to take a
stand against the liquor traffic, de-
clared the Rev. DR.. James G. Mason,
OF Metuchen, candidate of the Pro-
hibition party for Governor of New
Jersey. at meeting yesterday after
noon in the headquarters of Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union, at
12S Mulberry street. DR.. Mason
further added that the one exception
was the Prohibition party, and 1t
had taken that stand for forty years.
Dr. Mason, who is the pastor of the
Presbyterian Church in Metuchen,
contended that in every LOCO deaths
in the state that 440 were directly
or indirectly due to the excessive use
of intoxicating liquors, but through
the united vote of Christian citizens
the land would be saved and the sa-
loon traffic would be abolished.

SEES UNREST IN
HIS CHINA FIELD
Newark Church's Missionary
Sends information of the
New Republics Peril.

Whatever the general pubic may
think of missions in any part OF the
world, it has long been recognized by
foreign editors of experience on great
metropolitan newspapers that mis-
sionaries give the fairest expression
IN conditions in remote parts of the
world, not only on religious topics
but upon political changes and move
ments of interest to the intelligent
portion of the whole world. This
letter. received by the pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church from the
chureh's missionary in China, wholly
supported by the youth of the con-
gregation. and dated as lately as
NAV 90, is an example in point. 1t
Is addressed to the assistant pastor
of the church, the Rev. Lewis b.
Hills The letter follows;

wife of Frank T. Coleman, now in
