The little band at once inaugurated plans for

BUILDING THE CHAPEL.
BY November, 1871, n lot had been selected,
and in the following December it was pur-
chased for the sum of $S,676.sO. 1t fronted So
feet on /, and lao feet on Sd street, and was
selected with a view to the prospective growth
of the city in that region.
Preparations were at once made for erecting
chapel Ground was broken July I'd, 1872,
and the building was dedicated January 10th,
rs, 1878 Just me- years after the first service In
which 5000 was contributed by the Franklin
street and Franklin square churches in Balti-
more.
The church has grown steadily i'm influence
and membership, and at last outgrew the
chapel in which it had pleasant home for
many years. and it became necessary to erect
the commOdious church building, which will be
dedicated tomorrow. The church revenues for
all objects are derived from offerings each Sab
bath. There are no pew rents, no subscriptions,
fairs, festivals, or excursions The record of the
Central church in it's temporal relations has
been quite an enviable one. 1t is the boast of
its members that no person with whom the
church has had business transactions has had
to wait five minutes tor his money after 1t was
due From the outset congregational singing
has been feature of the church service.
