l.. Phalen, formerly of Fairhaven,
Mass. where he was pastor of the
Rogers Memorial church, erected at
a nostsof more than a million dollars.
The present arrangement is only
temporary but 1t is hoped that his

been very successful in his work in
other places including Fairhaven,
which place he left on account of poor
health a year or more ago.
He is interested in Community well
care work and believes that in the
future our great business problems
will be in an unusual degree permeat-
ed by a sense of social service, and
that the church will be called more
and more to the work of aiding in re-
deeming industry from drudgery and
brutality, even jas she has redeemed
men from sin mad suffering, by teach
ing enrolling conceptions of business
= tasks.
Mr.. Phalen believes business and re-
tigion should not be strangers, and
Will deliver a series of educational ser
mons on successful scientific business
administration, beginning Sept 20.

the City Opera house. A strong. we'll
balanced, capable cast, headed by Miss
Clara Louise and Rackcliffe Fellows,

rather drawn out and complicated, yet
full of action and never dull, deals
with the attempts of New York society
folks to outwit the United States GUS
