EARLY BhPTlSTS IN CHICAGO.

To the Editor At The Chicago Tribune:
sR: In the article which appeared in your
Last Sunday paper upon the "History Of tho
Growth Of the Baptists in Chicago" mention is
made OF the arrival in Chicago in 1888 Of Rev.
A. 3. Freeman, and the organization Of the
First Church On the 18th Of October Of that
that year. It is stated that ~ small
wooden house Of worship, costing $500,
vas built on South Water street, near
where the river divides into the North
and South branches" One fact, however, has
been omitted in this account, as in all previous
accounts of the early church, that have appeared
from time to time. and that is that the stsmaI1
wooden house referred to was erected by DR..
John T. Temple. upon his own property and at
his Own expense, the lower floor being used for
church purposes By the Baptists and also by the
Presbyterians, and tho upper portion as school
room. The fatt that DR.. Temple, for sir months,
afforded Mr. Freeman home in his own family
seens also to hare escaped the mind OF the his
torian but, inasmuch as Mr. Freeman received
from the Home Mission Society salary Of but
800 year, it was fact OF considerable impor-
tanoe at the time.

GENERAL CHURCH NOTES.

The Rev. Robert Mckenzie, whose church at
E1gin was burned on the 14th inst, sustaining
loss Of $14 900, is now soliciting MD to rebuild.
He has met already With more than ordinary
success, and is encouraged to believe that, in
time, all wiQ be well again. It is proposed to
raise $12. .000, of which gum Elgin is expected
to give $4,000, Chicago will be called upon for
her quota, and tho balance will bo solicited else
where. E1gin is a town OF rising prominence,
and las no other Presbyterian Church. The
one burned Vas completed only few weeks
nerve nerve to build It. They are now home
less and unable Of themselves to rebuild.
The membership is 100, and the congregation
800. We doubt not that h1r. Mckenzie, who is a
man Of unusual energy and much beloved By his
building.
