We are striving to put umlr' a true Gothic roof and churchly nave, lu plain, rich, enduring material, till the comtort and convenience of a modern church home. Trinity and Second street churches have been mighty agencies for good, and we long to see this new church a house of worship for a great, company, a Sunday scbtsd for the children, and the meeting for multitudes of young people willing to enter the Christian life at Its altars lt. us give time enough, and money enough, for we have them both, Ho make this building of stone and this spiritual temple a real church.

church was organized in three years after the organization of the general sis lely, with seven charter members, most of whom are still In active work. The society at this time has seventy-nine members enrolled. Mrs. Marlon Varner was the first president, having served seven years, from ISM to 1W. She was succeeded by Mrs.

I. F. Smith, who served three years, Mrs. J. Arbuckle one year, Mrs.

Gant four years, Miss I'hoelm Oldham three years and Mrs. Emma Gaumer for the past four years. Death has Invaded the ranks many times and taken some of its most ef ficient and faithful workers. We have had, during the twenty-two years of organization. Ho mourn the loss of Mrs.

This little society at first struggled along, not. being able to accomplish much, but pay annual dues and solicit membership and within a few years had membership of forty-three.

While the general society, which had been or ganized but three years previously, was planning the work, this society was learning of the needs of the work, and very, soon the demand for greater elTort became apparent and the needs and privations of the workers on th frontier became known, which arouse I the sympathy and awakened an Interest In the hearts of our members, who at once entered heartily Into the work of soliciting and forwarding supplies in response to the earnest appeal of the ministers on the frontier, whose salaries were not sufficient to furnish the necessaries of life. This branch of the society'' work has been faithfully rarrM on during all these years and the cheer and helpfulness which It ha carried to the hundreds of homes In the West and South has always leen gratefully acknowledegec. Oilier sm-c-lal work taken up at first was help sent to Kev.

In the last ten years of which we have record this scsdeiy has contributed nearly three thousand dollar to the different department of work of the great organization with Its Sn.WW esrnest women who say that America must he taken for Christ, and that whatever of evil we purpose to remove from among men, the one comprehensive mean Is Christian education, That thl evidence not lacking in our society may be found In our educational work In the south and west through Its model homes and industrial training school, and In the cte by mean of kindergartens, Industrial classes, boys' and girls' clubs and social gathering.

The auxiliary hold regular monthly meetings on th- second Friday of each month. After devotional exercise and the businets pertaining to the work, reports of officer, committees, the program Is taken up which has been previously arranged ami printed for each meeting of the yeir.

Without, begging, without entertain-mrtita, or tiresome efforts of any kind, the tithe Is found liy some of our churches, (as St. Paul at Delaware, 0., and Wesley Chapel, Cincinnati,) to meet and exceed every demand.

It Is one clear, splendid exact scheme unmistakably expressed founded on or der and justice and buttressed by the most Inspiring and substantial (prom ises. It Is worthy of its great Author and worthy of the Imitation or ado-tlon of our great ecclesiastical finan ciers.

A short time ago a business man and a minister, In one of our fine country town of Ohio, started out to secure for a 1 hun building. It required month to get the consent ot the community to appropriate so large a auin. The rebuff and counter argument were many.

ZANESVILLE, OHIO, Staple and Fancy Chapman For the support of the church and the extension of Christ's kingdom, the tithe has been ordered of God, The Tithe or Tenth, Is the religious side of the divine system of taxation ordained of God for the support of civil governments. This Important system was likely In dicated In the beginning by the ai of sotting apart one tree for.

Himself, when God placed the remainder or His material creation at the disposal of man. While many, Ignorant of the origin of the Tithe, suppose It to bo vt the Jews, not only the sacred writ ings, but secular history, mention the observance of the Tenth to be as ancient as the records of the human race. and by all people. It seems ImjMBWible that the Almighty maker of the universe, havine ordered the minutest atom after an exact pattern and continuing the same nndevlallng order In. the conduct of the universe, should leave the affairs of his church, his spiritual everlasting kingdom, to the Irresponsible and In adequate methods of Impulse.

We, therefore, find on investigating the subject, that the support of the church is placed upon the most severe business basis. We find In all His deae ings recorded in the scriptures, that God is as much a man of business as he declares Himself to be a "Man of War." In Malachl 3, 8-12 Is the most remarkable business contract ou record. Of this financial enterprise, all men rich and poor may avail themselves. Men profit by It as certainly today as they did thousands of year ago. Their testimony Is invarinbly a Joyful one to the faithfulness of God In keeping His contract.

It. may make the fortune of our children, If the five verses, the text of this contract, be committed to memory by them, HOW TO FIND THE TITHE. Find what is your net Income and then take out one-tenth, Your net In come is what Is left after the expenses of your business are taken out. After taking out one-tenth, the nine-tenths of the net Income remaining are for yourself and family and for charity, The more careful, the more accurate you are In this business, the greater will be your satisfaction. "What Is worth doing is worth doing well." You would not I a slack, slipshod account- ant with a partner In business be de finite and exact with God.

There are objections made by many to this divine plan, mime of which may seem to be reasonable. However, we think theso objections cease to be reasonable like all objections, when they antagonize the wisdom of a dirine cumnmnd. It certainly requires more faith In God for a man to pay $2 out of an Income of fi'iHi, than for another mall with an income of to pav fr.iKi.

Fraakia McElfnsa, Church building has gone forward rapidly In America liuring the past 2D your that all sorts of successes and failures In 1 hun li architecture have resulted. Many of our architects are young, ambitious, and III trained. Many of our church committee hail a task absolutely new thrust uhiii them. There has been a hot desire very often to get very large show for the money, i all sorts of things have bapMned. Often all periods of architecture and all sorts of material may be seen filing Jauntily together, and over It all carv ed In the alone a church.

Another In fluence that has worked for novelty In this time has been the widening scope of church life. The Sunday school has demanded class rooms, the young Iso lde's societies, a room, the women, a parlor; the gymnasium, the rending room are often found; so the simple building of the Puritan days was left far behind. Usik Into one of these modern structures; It has a klt hen, a dining room, a heating and ventilat ing vlstit, perhaps swimming pool In the basement; it has the bowled floor of an opera house! it has a corner pul pit, and massive lifting partition; It Is a mixture of theater and club room, meeting house and cathedral. It Is a product of the anxious, divided life of the modern church. It Is a ymhol of the struggling and perplexed heart of Christianity In contact with the money, the Inventions and the reck- lesxnes of the world Ustay.
