GRoyE-AVENUE CHURCH.
Wcst-Hain-street Congregation Like
lyt Change Their location

Rev. Dr. :. \. Goodwin, the new pastor
OF s-Main-Street Baptist church, has
zealousy entered upon the duties OF that po-
sition, and preached on sunday to large
audieuce. Their present house OF worship
on Beech street near Main IS inadequate to
the wants OF the growing congregation and,
besides, is 20 located that II l. subject 10 the
noises incident to travel on the Maln'strcet
and Elec,uc-cIr lines.
For these reasons a new church building Is
much desired, and Grove avenue Is con-
sldersd q suitable place for It.
Members Of the church have purchased
eighty-thrpe feet front on this avenue be
tween the Cullugworih and Clay properties
At l-j per foot.
This piece OF ground is opposite the tran-
gle owned by the city, which separates
Grove and Park avenues, and Is DIVIDED
from Dir. Cuuingworth's residence by a
thirty.foOt lot owned by this gentleman.
The Main street church have IN hand a
buildingfund amounting 10 about $4,000,
and they expect 10 realize from the sale of
| their present property At least $4,000 more
| which will enabic them, II they desire. to
purchase the Grove avenue site, and forth
with erect thereon a large sundays chool
room which can be- used for all purposes OF
worship until the main building can be
erected In front OF Il.
Az the church meriiHg 10 be held to-moS-
| row night the members will decide whether
they will take the Grove-avcnue property,
and al'o what general plans Of improvement
will be- adopted.
Dr. GoodwIn's idea is 70 have a pure
| Gothic structure, something Ike that be
built IA Dauvule, which is regarded as one
OF the pfetticst houses OF worship IN the
/ country.
The locality spoken OF for this new church
| f. Ia the midst Of the beautiful West End,
and Will soon Doe the centre Of large popu-
/ laliou. as residences OF the best class are
rapidly rising in all that section.
