EL PASO MORNING TIMES. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 190,1
PI?
TRINITY CHURCH
DEBT IS PAID
Rev. Dr. Collie, Retiring Pas-
tor, Last Night Sprung
a Genuine Surprise
Upon Members.
MORTGAGE 18 VERY OLD
After His Retii eluent From Lo
eal Pastorate He Set Himselt
Task ol Raising It anl
Sncceeded.
At the conclusion of the prayer
meeting services at the Trinity Meth-
odist church last night, the members
were treated to a genuine and wel-
come surprise, when Dr. Daniel 1*
Collie, the. retiring pastor, requested
the stewards and other officers of the
church to assemble at the chancel
rail. Upon a silver platter, which he
held in his hands, he presented to
them a check for $209.08 and a release
to the mortgage which had been hang-
ing over the church property for a
number of years. The check repre-
sents the unpaid balance due by the
church, which amount Dr. Collie set
himself the task of raising as the
last act of his pastorship and as an
evidence of the deep Interest which
he feelB in the welfare of trie organiza
tlon In £1 Paso, although he lias been
transferred to another field.
In making the presentation, Dr, Col-
lie said:
"As chairman of the board of trus-
tees that represent the property inter-
ests of the church, it is my privilege
to present to you tonight a document
of peculiar interest. No human
words are adequate to express the
emotions of sincerity which surge and
throb in my bosom tonight. For the
consummation of this hour, and what
is soon to take place, I have toiled and
I have prayed. This document repre-
sents a distinct epoch in the onward
progress of Christian civilization 'a
this progressive city, and It represents
a very happy moment in the upward
movement of this individual congrega-
tion. "Owe no man anything," was
the financial platform set forth cen-
turies. ago by the greatest of all men,
and this financial platform, good for
...e individual, is certainly to be com-
mended to the church.
Ten years ago this coming Decem-
ber. when arrangements were being
made for the erection of .his building
in which we worship tonight, and iu
which so many of you have spent
many delightful hours of, communion
as brothers and' sisters in the Lord,
it was thought by those who had the
matter in charge that there was not
sufficient financial ability in the con-
gregation to carry forward the enter-
prise to completion, and the hoard of
cmirch extension, located in Louis-
ville, and which was organized for the
specific purpose of helping churches.
waB called upon for aid. That or-
ganization donated outright to the
Trinity Methodist church in El Paso
$1,500. and at the same time granted it
a loan for a like amount. As security
for the payment of that amount, as
tee laws of that organization required,
the,trustees registered a mortgage
upon this property, and over this prop-
erty has hung, like a (lark cloud, that
mortgage from that day to this good
hour. Time flew fast and interest ac-
cumulated until the amount owed by
tms church exceeded by several hun-
dred dollars the original debt.. About
three years ago a gallant young Mis-
sourian came this way, was appointed
pastor of this church and In a few
months entered upon the work of
liquidating this debt. He collected
many dollars during his administra-
tion and forwarded it to the committee
on church extension. When your re-
tiring pastor took charge of the
church, two years ago, he found still
remaining a debt of between $800 and
$900. There was some little money in
the treasury, but J want to assure you
that the Journey leading up to the goal
which we occupy tonight has not been
made by broad strides except in a few
cases. The last 209 miles especially
has been made by successive and
short stops.
“Accompanying the document to
which I refer is a little note which ex-
plains it, and I want to assure you
that only an hour ago, in one of the
rooms that we have occupied as a
home for the past two years, I signed
my name to the note which accompa-
nies the document. Some of you with
whom I have had heart to heart talks
know that I shall go away from El
Paso not altogether satisfied with
what I have accomplished. I go, how-
ever, with a clear conscience that I
have tried to do my duty and that I
have done something towards advanc-
ing the interests of thiB church. Af-
ter all that seemingly could be done
had been accomplished, there still re-
mained . oalance of a little over $200

of this old debt, and, when notified br
tho Incoming pastor that ba wauld be
here at a certain data, l tuuugai, —er
all, that I would hav? is leave Trinity
Methodist church with part of that old
obligation hanging over it, but, after
my arrangements had been made to
depart and my household goods had
been packed and taken to the ware-
house for storage, I sat down and
tnought to myself that 1 could not
leave the city of Ei Paso until that
debt had been wiped out and that dark
cloud dissipated, so that the sunlight
of renewed prosperity might shine in
upon the church. So, after consulting
with the new pastor and some of the
leading members of the church, 1
again addressed myself to the accom-
plishment of this purpose, and, al-
though I have come to the successful
conclusion of a number of‘financial
works In my past history 1 s?
sincerely that It is one of the happiest
moments of my life when I present to
you this document, with this silver
platter. This piece of silver is part of
a beautiful service presented to the
better half of the Collie family by the
members of the last church I served
in my native state uuon the occasion
of the celebration of our silver wed-
ding, and I assure you that the silver
is no purer than the sincere interest
which I feel in my heart tonight for

The document referred to was a let-
ter addressed to the Society of Church
Extension and read as follows;
“Dear Brothers: Enclosed you will

ity Methodist church of this city.
“Please send receipt to my succes-
sor, Rev. George M. Gibson; also au-

“D. L. COLLIE."
After the reading of this letter there
was a profound silence for a second
or more, which spoke more eloquently
than words of the profound apprecia-
tion upon the part of the congregation
of the splendid service whleh Dr. Col-
lie had rendered to the organization.
Volney M. Brown then stepped for-

COST OF LIVING IN JAPAN.
and
Renta, as Well as Necessities
Luxuries, Have Advanced.
Washington, Oct. 23.—According to
an article in the German Export Re-
view, a translation of which is fur-
nished by the bureau of
and labor. Japan Is no longer the land
of cheap living. Rents, for modest
houses of the kind cnlied for by
Europeans, amount to at least $24.90
per month. This for persons who paid
from $0 to $12 per month at home puts
It out of their power to rent anything
better than a room in a European
house or a Japanese house. The
prices of foods, drinks, etc., have
gone up far beyond what they were,
and a long way beyond the prices that
prevail in Europe. A bottle of beer
costs from 18c to 25c. Cigars that
cost 2 l-2c in Germany are sold in
Japan for 13c. French champagne is
cheap' because It pays but a low duty.
The war makes It possible for par-
ties supplying the government with Its
wants to make considerable money.
Germans are not selling as success-
fully to Japan as In other years. Much
that was sold was bought because
those having to do the buying were
trained in German workshops. Eng-
land and America are now In the lead.
The materials needed for ship building
are bought, as a rule, In England,
since the Japanese have great faith
in British ships. Even big ships built
for Japan in Germany years ago
were ordered to Armstrong’s in Eng-
land, for their armament. Recently
Krupp and the French firm of Schneid-
er are preferred. The world is watch-
ing whence Japan will supply her
ships with guns when the war Is over,
since she will need a goodly number,
as it is a well-known fact that large
guns have to be replaced by others
after being fired sixty to eighty times,
The Japanese say they have a suffi-
cient supply in reserve. Whether
these will stand the great charges of
powder is a question. It is well
known that the marine artillery used
at Port Arthur is being used up to the
horder line of its capacity. Besides,
the “Shimose powder" wears and
tears a gun much more than the Euro-
pean and American powders.
The fact that England and the Unit-
ed States are specially favored is
shown by the purchase of their mater-
ial for the Yokohama waterworks. In
the official announcement calling for
bids it was expressly provided that
the cocks come from England and the
water meters from England or the
United States, the names of firms
even being specified.
The locomotives for the railroads in
Korea are bought exclusively in the
United States, presumably because
they are more quickly obtainable
there. The friendship for the United
States is increasing. Little by little,
Japan will see that the friendship of
the Americans is based on business.
At present all goes well. When the
Japanese, however, begin to demand
specifications, regulations, etc., the
friendship will receive a shock.
Japan is pushing forward to get con-
trol of her entire trade. Her minister
of marine boasted of her purpose to
do this In a speech recently delivered
at Osaka. Its trade will grow. It will
take time, at best; and the war will
serve to delay it beyomi the years that
would otherwise be taken. Up to that
time Americans and Europeans will
rule here; after that they w-ili have
to give place to the Japanese.
