NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH
 BE STARTED IN SPRING
Pastor P. J. Higgins Believes Parish toner's Should be Free to Help
 Win the War.

Concerning the approaching visit of a Boston architect in connection with the plans for the construction of the brick church for St. JOseph's Catholic congregation, Rev. F. !. Hig- gins. rector. last night issued the fol- lowing:
 'fMr. Robert L. Graham architect, of Boston, Mass, will be in Pine Bluff within a few days with view to approve the plans and specifica- tions for St. Joseph's new church. On proposition involving in the last analysis an expenditure of S100,OO l have decided not to proceed without an architect The erection of the building, however will not be com menced until early next spring, as I believe the church membership should be left free and unencumbered in ap- plying their energies toward winning the war at this critical iuncture The money collected and borrowed for the church will remain in the Cot ton Belt bank and the Merchants and Planters bank, and will not be moved nor applied to any other purpose In the meantime, somethin@ will be done to render the old church more favorable to prayer and more attract i've to the aesthetic sense The bills, however, will not be paid from the building fund. l intend to remain in Pine Bluff at least until the church is built, furnished and olnamented.
 ''I am conscious of the ancient his tory of the church. but l am dealing with facts and not with history. As the situation is the most awkward not only in Arkansas but in the en- tire South. l will ask the community and the friends of Msgr Lucey to have patience with me until I solve 1t, because patience is the best ac- companiment.
 As many questions have been ask ed relative to the new church propo- sition, they are herewith officially answered. and these answers are final and absolute and admit of no charge nor appeal
 "I will close with tEis observation, that usually the men who is responsi. ble for bringing the best to shore has larger and clearer view than anybody else.
