In the resignation of Bey Robert F Sample, D. I> p.istor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, in West Twenty third atreet. a atory full of tNithoe Is brought to light. After years of useful ness the i hur h Is on the p*lit of lelng redu* ♦*! to a third-rate church. Thera wac many tearful *\ es w hen at the meeting last week the pastor said: ”1 have been with you for 14 yean*, and In that time have given you the l**st years of my life My leaving you l not due to any environment. It Is simply because of the la k of support Muring the last two year a I could not live on tho salary 1 re ceived One thing I want to say; I never demanded anything of this congregation I have only asked what you could give freely." This church la In the very heart of New York It la old ami his a history that 1* twined In and oit of tho very life of the metropolis The greatest men that the country has produced have attended church therfr at different times.

A quest lon of areal Importance to New York Is Involved. Is the etty becoming Go,liras? 1a It trying to get along without churches'’ Why nr* no many historic churches falling away In attendanca and In financial support? When Dr Ha tuple was asked these ab sorbing questions ha became Interested at cure. He has given the matter a great ileal of attention.

What Is tho reason? I would name the following enures ' The dt atpeoranc# of the home. "The multiplicity of the boarding houses. "The unholy relations of the flats to hu man life. “The growth of the city toward the Har lem Ktver ' The passing awav of the rich people who formerly supported downtown chur ches.
