eternal as a double contrast which
enters into the reckoning of the i'm
pact of time on our lives. Rev. DR..
II. II. McQuilken, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, Orange, in his
morning sermon yesterday declared
that both the material and spiritual
things are real, but that the former
are transitory, whereas the latter are
abiding, and that the true secret of
life is to take all the transitory facts
as they come and use them In such
way as to make them minister to
imperishable character in ourselves
and others. DIR. McQuilken had as
his theme "The Transitory and the
Abiding" the text being the latter
part of 2. Cor AIS. The things which
are seen are temporal. but the things
which are not seen are eternal.

U. s. MAY PURCHASE J
CLEVELAND MANSE
Application to Congress May
Be Made Next
& Month.

1t is expected that application VII
be made to Congress next month,
through the New Jersey senators. to
set aside as a national reservation the
property on which Is located the house
~ Wh. ch Grover Cleveland was born
ON Bloomfield avenue. Caldwell. Thy
property is nov owned by the Grover
Cleveland Memorial Association, com
prising about one hundred friends OF
the late president.
1t is not believed that there will be
any opposition i'm Congress to the
plan. as 1t does not call for a heavy
expenditure. The building and grounds
have been paid for by the assoeia-
ton, which also has small balance
IN its treasury, and this in all proba-
bility, would be turned over to the
government.
The acquisition by the government
of the old manse would settle, it Is
expected, the controversy over the To-
cation of a Carnegie library, which
has been responsible for much agita-
tion in the last four years. Adjoin-
ing the manse in which Mr.. Cleveland
was born is large tract of land
which was bought for $4,000. The
purchasing fund was raised by popu-
lar subscription among Mr.. Cleve-
land's admirers. According to agree
ment $4,000 of tho purchase price and
endowment fund was raised among
ICaldwellites with the understanding
that a, memorial library to Mr. Cleve-
land. which Andrew Carnegie had
promised to provide. would be To-
Gated on the corner Of the property
The authority of the borough to
raise money by taxation for project
which was to be located upon prop
erty not belonging to the town was
questioned Then there developed
movement looking to the location OF
tie library at another point it being
felt that the Cleveland property was
not altogether suitable. Many other
sites had been suggested.
A letter was received last week
from the Carnegie Foundation stating
that as soon as plans were approved
by the local library trustees and an
agreement signed that the library,
would be built and furnished for oe-
cupancy within the amount of the
appropriation, that arrangements
would be made for the payment of the
money as the work progressed :

BREAKING OF
SOD FOR PARISH HOUSE
Ceremony at Montclair Church
to Take Place Next
Sunday.

The severity of yesterdays weather
imposed a postponement of the cere-
mony of breaking the sod for the pro-
posed community house of the
Watching Avenue Congregational
Church, Montclair, until next Sunday
after morning worship. On that oc-
casion Rev. DR.. Thomas S. Travis, the
pastor. will turn the first spadefui.
offer prayer and read from the Scrip
ture. The congregation and children
of the Sunday school will take part
and William a. Dunlap, of Osborne &
Marsellis, the contractors who will
build the structure, will assist Dr.,
Travis.
When the spring thaw comes many
of the men members OF the Watching
church will begin to timber up their
muscles and their wives will give as
sidious attention to the various kinds
of refreshments guaranteed to refresh
IaiborerS.
For among these men has been
formed diggers' club, pledged to ex-
cavate the basement of the proposed
building. They will work in shifts,
and during the rest periods they will
be aided, as are boxers between
rounds, by the women of the church
equipped with lemonade and other
cooling and lubricant things.
The members of Watching church
are coming to be known as hard
workers for the little church, and
many professional men-men well up
in metropolitan business circles, some
of them--are cooperating with Dr..
Travis. The versatility of the wom-
en- members, too. has been responsible
for many profitable little plays and
entertainments.
Response to the appeal for funds
with which to build the community
house was rapid. Mr.. ard Mrs. Henry
Lang donated $1,000. it is reported,
and other gifts ranged from IS to
$1,000. The appeal first came to the
attention of the general public
through a beautifully designed book
let written bv DIR. Travis, in which he
set forth psychologically the advan-
tages that will accrue from the acqui-
. .yat1 mn
