la 1878, Col. Samuel Shooh, erected the
salome chapel, aud donated the same to
the congregation of the Fourth street
Presbyterian church, and when aban.
doned by them tn revert to the M. Il.
church, Of Columbia. The erection OF the
building wasa necessity, az persons residing
IN the southeastern portion of Columbia,
had long walks to attend church or Sundsy
school sessions. Several ladies Of the
above church, had been holding Sunday
school sessions at private residences, and
the attendance grew 80 large that private
residences were incapable of accOmmo-
dating them Col. Shoch then built ba.
lone chapel. The attendance was for
three years large, but after the old rolling
mill suspended work aud its employees
changing residences, the erection Of the
Bethel ard st. Johns Lutheran churches,
II grew small. Last week IT was deter.
mined to abandon the school, and the last
session was held on Sunday. A committee
from the Presbyterian church drew
up series of 70, olutions, and pre-.
sented them to Col. Shoch. They stated
their Inability to longer keep the chapel
