bers will be required TO raise THU
year. II r. confidently expected tina
this amount will be raised in on'
month.
The new church will be erected
on the site OF the present property
The new building will seat $40 per
sons on the main floor and In the
gallery. The interior will be cathe-
dral style. The organ viii be the
best possible. The building will
cover the entire plot OF ground oc-
cupied by the present one at Eigh-
teenth and Boulevard.
The present ediflce was erected in
1905 by McCabe Memorial Methodist
Church. Three years later the build
ing was taken over by the Hanover
Church congregation. During the
intervening years Hanover Church
has grown rapidly in membership
and influence in the Washington
Heights section, until today the
building Is too small to accommo-
date those who wish to worship
there. as well as generally unsuited
TO the needs OF the congregation.
The new church project took
shape two months ago when the Of
fciais OF the church saw that the
building was no longer adequate.
This condition has been particularly
pronounced under the passionate OF
the Rev. Charles II. Bonner, who
came to the church three years ago
from Ocean City. y. J. During his
focal ministry the church has in
creased its membership by nearly
200. and has doubled It's contribu-
tlons TO all the benevolences Of the
Presbyterian Church. During the
same period the Board OF Trustees
has doubled its budget and in no
year since Mr.. Bohners coming has
the church failed TO live up to its
every responsibility.
While the new church Is In course .
Of erection the congregation will /
worship in the present Sunday
school Hall.

Special to The Evening Journal.

/ special 10 'Ihe Evening JourhhA
: DOVER, April 2s - A meeting
under the auspices OF the Brother
! hood of Wesley NJ. E. Church in
connection with the Law Enforce
ment Week campaign was held last
evening in Wesley NJ. z. Church.
The Rev. ]. W. Colona. pastor OF the
church. called the meeting 20 order
and introduced James H Hughes.
chairman OF the Dover Law En-
forcement League. as presiding of
ficer.
Mr.. Hughes spoke OF the senti-
ment among the people since the
Law Enforcement League was or
ganized in Dover and believed that
already much good had been done
through its efforts. He also well
coined Governor Denney, who occu-
uied front seat in the church with
Captain Hanson. OF the American
Legion. He commended Governor
Denney for his Law Enforcement
week proclamation.
Mr.. Hughes introduced former
Judge William II. Boyce who spoke
generally on the observance OF all
laws. especially the Volstead Act
In referring TO the violation OF the
Volstcad Act he said Il was what
might have been expected from the
very nature OF things. but that as Il
is a law, Il must and will be obeyed
and those who do not obey It Will be
made 20 do so He also spoke OF
the sentiment which had prevailed
for many years against the sale OF
intoxicsnts and the running Of sa-
loos. until Il reached Congress where
Il was made possible for the people
10 vote directly on II.
As TO the effectiveness Of the Vol
stead act and to refute the state
ment so often heard that conditions
are worse now than they were be-
fore the law was passed. Judge
Boyce referred to Dover under the
liquor laws and at the present time
showing conclusively that where
drunkenness and disorder had exist
ed in Dover in years past. with
quarrels. murders and assaults, that
no such conditions exist TODAY
He urged all TO stand for law en-
forcement, predicting that with such
unity OF purpose the Volstead act
and all other laws could and would
be enforced.
Chairman Hughes called upon
Governor Denney. who in a few
words expressed his appreciation for
the splendid work being done by the
expressions OF good will as TO his
Law Enforcement League and the
stand In the matter.
John T. Price. OF Lewes, also gave
a short talk.
Governor Denney was given a rls-
ing vote Of thanks for his attitude
on law enforcement.
