New Years Day the members of this
congregation OF the Third Presbyter-
len Church and their friends will
gather at Clinton avenue and South
Sixteenth street for the cornerstone
laying of the beautiful $780, 900 edifice
which will be known as the Third
Presbyterian Church South, and
which is the last OF the three
churches under the collegiate system
to be built The Third Church North,
in the Forest Hill section, and the
Third Church Central, on High street,
being the other two.
The new church, for which permits
have just been issued, will be of
English Gothic design. The stone to
!, be used In the body of the church
is of a peculiar brown color due to
q vegetable composition in 1t which
makes it appear like rust, and the
effect will give the church an antique
appearance.
The trim of the church will be of
limestone with stone tracings for the
windows and a slate roof. The
church Is the design of McMurray
and Pulls, of this city. The interior
of the church will be finished in
black walnut, of Gothic design The
choir and gallery front and the pews
will be taken from the present Third
Church and installed In the new edi-
dec.
S II Is the plan of the church officers
10 have the windows as memorials,
and with the erection of the church
the windows on the Clinton avenue
side and one In the north gable will
be memorials presented by members
Of the congregation.
The idea of a Third Church coll
legiate was suggested by DR.. 1nglis,
OF the present Third Church, to his
session and acted upon favorably
about three years ago. Since that
time DR.. Inglis. the session and con-
gregation have been working to per-
feet the plans, with the result that
at the present time the Third Church
North is under construction and the
Third Church South will celebrate the
laying of the cornerstone on the first
OF the year.
Realizing that the close proximity

This book should be read at Just
such season as this, when the very
air is supposed to be vibrant with
charity. 1t is not because the book
Is pleasant to read; Ii is not, II is too
full of pathos, of the miseries of the
iron heel of poverty, OF tragedy,
dreary, unromantic, horribly true to
life.
In the book is a picture, also, of
the unspeakable, chastity horror of
the lunacy ward, that most battling
of the problems that forever con-
fronts the modern social reformer
and of which the kind hearted citi-
zen Knows only the shadow that he
can imagine as he reads almost daily
In his favorite Journal OF one of those
instances of barbarous, inexplicabIe
cruelty that In all quarters of the
world hourly spreads its odium over
the insane hospital and the psyche
pathic retreat for the hapless, de-
mented victim.
In this picture of life, which is not
without it's humorous touches, there
Is very heroine of a little maid
servant, most humble In origin. like
the friends whom she aids and sus-
tatns by her example and greatness
of heart Tfilie, indeed, is a creation
Of which the author may well be
proud and one which deserves to
bring him fame and fortune through
the book.

her in many difficulties. as 1t had
moved several people to adopt chill

Bible for it.

happily. but If It suggests the idea tc
any girlish reader, 1t Is to be hoped
the blame will not fall on Mrs. Wig

volume which is of absorbing interest,
though 1t has no pretentions to liter

It is the one fact of undying value TO
the human race. This Is the authors
testimony to the almost universal for

who, after doing what they could to

returned to walk the decks of a ship
fast sinking beneath them and In
which they knew that in few short
minutes they would be engulfed, to
lie in eternal night in a watery grave
thousands of fathoms deep.
It is this point of human courage in
the face of the arch fear of an APP

brought out so wonderfully not long
before he himself was called to meet
finally the rider of the pale horse ana
to take the Inevitable leap In the dark

A L,ttle oountry,s Big business.

Year by year the peasant of Dens
mark has extended his grip until his
transactions amount 70 s10.000,000 am
nually and run into almost every line
of business In the country He ships
horses and cattle to Germany; eggs
poultry, butter, cheese and bacon to
England. He packs them so that
they will please the customer. Moth
ing is left to chance and very little
to private business. The shiftless
farmer is compelled by his neighb"r
to conform to high standard. In
order to keep in touch with the wants
and desires of consumers, the govern
ment sends scouts to other countries
to ascertain what breed of horses and
cattle are most in demand: as to how
foreign countries want their food
products prepared. The peasant
studies the food of cattle and knows

speaking of Harrington. those who

of his work. Frederick in 1.-THE Flirt''

story of the "warraor Kingdom.o

"Unafraid" Is of peculiar interest,
because it gives picture Of minia-
ture Balkan country recently and
even now occupying a most promi-
nent position In the public eye. This
acknowledgements merits the
title accorded to 1t as the Warrior
Nation" In the Balkan conflict
Montenegro paid to the uttermost In
the tears and blood of her children
for the victories she gained, and then,
by the Machiavellian policy of Great
Britain, was compelled to face the
very extinction of her existence as q
nation. To every lover OF liberty, to
everyone who glories In national
courage and self-sacrifice. Montenegro
and the Montenegrins must ever be
types OF the highest patriotism
But what has all this to do with the
novel in hand-"Unafra'd Well
"Unafraid" gives a graphic picture
OF the rock-bound realm of King
Nilxo,as and delineation of its In
habitants whose loyalty can only be
compared to the devotion of a sept OF
Scotch h'ghlanders to the chief of
their clan. But '.Unafraid" has, per-
haps, more strenuous claim on
American readers. for 1t embodies a
type of American girl whose devotion
to her ideal and her love make her a
figure of the modern, daredevil. racing

Fight. the heroine. who leaves home
and friends for the idol she had set
up in her heart certainly ran a most
terrible risk, but her fate was kind
to her and her reward was a noble
husband, Montenegro chieftain,
Stefan Bals'o brother OF the one who
had won her heart in her home,
Michael Balsio, a double-dyed villain
and traitor.
The picture OF Jack Rupert, the
autoist, and the Montenegro girl

The choice of the title OF the book is
perhaps as happy a one as could be
made to describe Delight, whose cour-
age and innocence of heart led her
into inconceivable perl's. Perhaps
such women are to be found. but 1t
is doubtful Il many of them would
choose Montenegro as the goal OF their
happiness.
