ers, including several bishops, we're
considered, but some days ago the
committee decided upon Or. Eckman
as the man for the task.
DIR. Eckman is one of the most con
spicuous men in Methodism. For
more than 10 years he was pastor of
ST. Paul's church, New York, the
wealthiest and prominent church OF
the United States. AT the general
conference, in Minneapolis, last May,
when Dr James NJ. Buckley, the vet
eran editor of the Christian Advocate,
New York. the denominational organ
of the Methodist church, resigned his
position, the conference turned unanl'
monsly TO DR.. Eckman, who received
practically every vote on a formal
ballot for editor.
Every effort will be made by the
Fourteenth-ave. church TO induce DR..
Eckman TO remain over until Monday
night. TO give a lecture in the new
auditorium. and also for an address
before the Detroit Preachers meet
Ing, which will be held in this church
on Monday morning, In honor OF its
completion and dedication.
To bid Haven Farewell.
AS natural preliminary TO the
dedication OF the new church, the peo-
pie OF the old Haven church, one or
the parties to the merger, will, tomor-
row. hold grand farewell or
Homecoming service, to which all
former members and friends will be
invited. The entire day will be given
over to exercises appropriate to the
last service in the old building, which
has been q landmark in that part OF
the city for nearly 40 years.
AT the morning service the Rev.
Clarence E. Allen, ID. D., a personal
friend OF Dr. Lovejoy, the pastor, and
former pastor Of the church, will be
the speaker. DR.. Allen is now pastor
OF the Richmond-aye. church, the
largest and most prominent Methodist
church In Buffalo. He is son OF the
late Rev. DR.. G. T. Allen, who was
once pastor of both the Simpson and
Cass-ave. churches OF Detroit, and
later superintendent OF Detroit dis
trict. He Is also brother OF the Rev.
DR.. Eugene G. Allen, OF Burlington,
Ia. and former pastor OF the Preston
