Dr. Cor- nelius delivered an ableand eloquent discourse on the lessons of the old and the possibilities Fa | i % 3 H 3 i This was followed wy the regular com- munion services. Rev. Mr. Patch, one of the former pastors, was present and assisted in the exercises.

SHOOTING STARS. pe You can't judge by appearances. A letter dated Jan. 2, 1892, is not necessarily a beck- namber. There are 20,000 varieties of butterfly, not cannon. “How much more have you to do?” \asked one clerk of another. “About three minutes’ work.” “Flow long will it take you?” “about half an hour. The successful theater manager thanks bis lucky stars for his prosperity. “This is weally nice,” said Cholly. “New Year's comes on the first of January this year and we can start even all around.” THE MODERATE IMBIBER. The proverb has been altered, A New Year's caller states. He puts it that ‘one swallow Does not make a pair of ‘skates.’"” A final expression of popular opinion ia the case of the woman who stole a violin in this city cannot be expected until the facts are more clearly understood. Her purpose in tak- ing the instrument from the silence of the mu- sic store is what counts. If she merely wanted | it for bric-e-brac much can be forgiven, but if she wanted it to practice on punishment should be swift and severe. ect “A little Washington girl unconsciously made a very forcible appeal for distinct enunciation by public speakers. She had returned from church, where the minister had chosen for his text the sentence, “Behold, I bring you good tidings of great jo “Can you tell me what tho text was?” said her father when she reached home. ‘Course I can,” was the confident reply. “What was it?” . And the little one confidently replied: “Be. hold, I give you tidings of Lake George.” Geyer hese THE JONADABS’ WATCH NIGHT. Interesting Exercises Held Under the Aus- pices of the Different Council On Saturday night various councils of the Sons of Jonadab held their usual watch night services and there was much interest shown. The original council, Pioneer No. 1, at Grand Army Hall hed a very interesting pro- gram of musical and literary selections, in which Charley West, H. W. K. Patterson, Messrs. Beebe and Snow, Mr. Sipes,Mr. Wil Miss Fay Calvert, Miss Brown and Miss MeNer- hany took part, and addresses were made by | Messra. J. W. Thompson, J. J. Weed S. C. Milla and others. The audience were treated toa plentiful supply of refreshments. Ata few mo- ments before midnight Mr. John W.

A LIBERAL RESPONSE Made by the Congregation of Calvary Bap- st Charch, ONE NUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SUBSORIBED TO ENLARGE THE CHURCH RUILD- INO—HALF THE AMOUNT GIVEN BY A SINOLE INDIVIDUAL—GROWTR OF THE CHURCH IX EVERY DEPARTMENT. One of the most remarkable scenes ever wit- nessed in a church occurred yerterday in the Calvary Baptist Church. ‘The members of the congregation were asked by tho pastor to con- tribute a fund for the enlargement of the church facilities and the broadening of the eburch work. The response to this appeal was ‘as generous as the plan which has been devised. ‘The members of this church are accustomed to give liberally; that is a feature and an import- ant one of the gospel as preached at this church. But the result of yesterday's giving was the great sum of over 140,000. Perhaps never before in the history of the Christian churghes of the city has such a large amount been given at a ningle meeting. GROWTH OF THE MEMPERSTIP. The membership of this church has grown to such proportions that more room is demanded, and for along time the pastor and other off- BEY. & H, GREENE, D.D. cers have been trying to devise ways and means to accomplish such result and make some pro- | vision for the increasing congregation as well as | membership. uday echool has also been | crowded for room, the four departments being | forced to occupy every available portion of the building for their work. To meet these growing demands the officers of the church ‘and congregation recently determined upon a plarwhich is one of the most liberal that has probably ever been undertaken by any chureh in the city. The plan in general is to enlarge the present edifice to accommodate at least 1.200 persons, to buy property south of the church upon which shall be erected a Sun- day school room, modern in its construction, which will accommodate at least 1,800 scholars, andin addition to these to make liberal provision for enlarging the works of the two missions of the church, Kendall and Memorial chapels. An | approximate estimate of the expenses necessary | to enect these different improvements was given as follow: Repairs on church edifice..... Cost of four houses on the south. Sunday school house. Kendall Chapel. Memorial Chapel. Total... - $140,000 ‘TRE DAY FOR THE APPEAL. Yesterday was fixed upon as-the time for making the appeal to the congregation. The day was a gloomy one and as the congregation began to gather there were many who shook their heads over the proposition. to proceed with the effort to raise the amount. The offi- cersand othermembers of the church, however, allied around te pastor, who had not wavered | im his faith that the effort would be wuccessful. | ‘The services opened as usual before an audience chieh fairly filled the room, and at the time for the #ermon Dr. Greene, the pastor, made a few remarks le up to the great question which confronted the chureh. Hisappeal to enter the broader field of work which was opening up | was eloquent and could not be resisted. ‘The | audience grew enthusiastic. Dr, Gree nounced that one memper of the church posed to give $1 for every dollar given by ntributors; in other words, he | would give 1,000 provided a like amount conld be raised to be placed beside it. This gave the movement great in and the sub- scriptions came in very rapid! THE LEADING SUBSCRIPTION. This leading subscription of $70,000 was made by Mr. 8. W. Woodward of the firm of Wood- | ward & Lothrop. It was followed by two sub- | scriptions of $5,000 eac Stickney and Mr. W. largest subscription was by clase No. 11 of the Sunday school, taught by Mr. J. W. V: amounting to $3, ‘Mr. George 8.

Gilson, “a Congregational friend” and the Ladies’ Social Circle, £1,000 ench. K. nd this was followed by twenty-three subscriptions of | $500 each. These forty-one individual sub- scriptions and one cinss —aubseription the | amount of $140,000 was then provided for in rubscriptions ranging from $300 to $26, that being the least amount called for yesterday ‘There were a large number of class subserip tions, the amounts being made up in small in- dividual donations, ‘Thus the greatest effort of this prominent church in meeting the demands made upon it was a pronounced success. WHAT THE MISSIONS WILL DO. Representatives of Kendall Chapel announced | that the attendants at that place of worship in South Washington would contribute the hand- some sum of $6,000 toward the erection of the proposed new editice for their use. It was de- cided to make that sum the nucleus of an addi- ti um of $10,000 which it is proposed to raise to cover interest and shrinkage in the larger amount. . ‘As can readily be understood, there is great rejoicing in Calvary Church that the first in the important work which this ¢ ition has had in view so long has been taken under circumstances which ate 80 bright and prom- isi ‘The pastor, Rey.

They met next in the Columbia Law building, Sih street between D and E streets, Step were at once taken to build an_ edifice and by the generous nid of Mr. Amos Kendall this was completed and occupied in June, 1866. At that time ft was the finest church building in the city. The building was destrosed by fire | in December, 1867. New quarters were at once secured in the old Shiloh Baptist Church, located on the south side of Massachn- tett avenue between 9th and 10th streets Borthwest. This was occupied ntil the pres: ent building was completed in July, 1869, and the congregation and Sunday school returned to their home on July 11 of the same year. It is understood that work on this great improve- ment is to be begun at once. THE SUNDAY acHOOL. One of the large factors in connection with the work in Calvary Church is the Sunday School, which has become famous, not only in Washington, but through the country. One of ite principal features is an adult department with a membership of 500, the total member- of the school being 1,178. There are three or four very large classes in the department and each of the thirty classes need rooms of their own in which to do their work. needs have led to the prop- orition to build a Sunday school house which will be modern in ite construction and accommodate the four departments of the school. When this building is completed Cal- vary Sunday echool will be in quarters which will enable it to become one of the largest schools in the country. ‘THE List OF SUBSCRIPTIONS. ‘The following is the official st of the sub- scriptions made yestergay: 8.

The holidays are now abont over and the police say they never before saw such good order among the drinking population and law- breakers during the Christmas and New Year celebrations. The number of arrests this vea- ton fell far short of the number a year ago and the decreased number showed plainly in the daily sesstons of the Police Court. Although | Christmas came on Sunday the arrests between Saturday and Monday did not amount to any more than the average Saturday night and Sun- day and the Monday morning session was con- sequently @ chort one, giving the judges and court officers time to spend the day with their | families and eat their Christmas turkey at home. | The cases of drunks were also less numerous this year. and the police recall many instances of old offenders who have heretofore given so much trouble having reformed.

MANY CASES OF DISTRESS. While 80 many thousands of persons are en- joying the holidays there is distress among many families, and the poor fund is not large enough to eupply the wants of all. In South- east Washington tlere is more distress this season than usual, says Lieut. McCathran, and he is unable to properly relieve all the appli- cants. Sickness and lack of employment are the causes in many cases, so he says, while un- fortunate circumstances have brought suffer- ing to others. ily was injured during the G. A.
