vote himself to tine work Of the Christian min
istry. When called to the church in this city
he was pastor OF the Citadel Square Baptist
Church in Charleston. s. c.. where his reputa-
tion pulpit orator had become established.
He came to this city to lead the movement in

The First Church il the mother church OF
the denomination in this city. 1t was organ
lied in the year 1902. Six devout and earnest
Christians met together in private house in
that year and decided to establish at the capt.
tai OF the nation Baptist church. The church
building first erected was located on the cor
ner of 18th and streets; then the building on
10th street between Z and F streets was erected,
which Is how historic as the place where Lin
coin was shot. The next change was to 18th
street between G. and II streets. and recently
the congregation has erected the handsome
church building at the corner of 10th aud o
streets. The pastorates have been long. The
first pastor. Rev. Obadiah Brown, served the
church for forty-three years. Rev. Stephen p
Hill, DID,, was the next pastor and after the
union with the old Fourth Church the pastor,
Rev. Isaac Cole. was co-pastor. Rev. DR..

received Q number of converts into its mem
bership.
A little over year ago he preached . sermon
at the E Street Baptist Church in this city,
which was then without pastor. The congre.
CATION was then a small one, but the members
were 30 well pleased with his sermon that they
extended to him CALL which he accepted, and
during the one year that he has presided over
the flock the membership of the church has
been largely increased and the congregation
has been doubled. During the year Of pros
perity q new choir has been added to the
church and several new societies have been
formed.
The old building has been greatly improved
and the members are now discussing the pur-
chase Of a new site and the erection Of new

signed to accept a unanimous call to the CAL
vary Church Of this city. Since the beginning
OF the present passionate more than 900 persons
have been received to membership, the receipts
from all sources increased from about $1,000
to more than $4,000 per annum, while the
Sunday school has become the largest
in the city, numbering LOCI members.
From the very commencement Of the present
pastorate the pastor has received the most
united enthusiastic support Of his church and
congregation. In 1873 Mr.. Greene received the
degree Of ABB; in 1875, AN: in 1882, ID.
DR.. Greene was one OF the speakers before the
Baptist autumna, conference in Philadelphia in
1919; has lectured at the request Of the facul-
ties before the students at Grocer and Hamil-
ton theological seminaries; is a vice president
OF the New York Baptist Education Society and
a member Of the board of trustees of Column
ban University. So thoroughly does DIR.
Greene believe In his people and their field of
work that he has repeatedly declined to con-
sidei fattering inducements from other cities.
Calvary Baptist Church was organized in 1862
with thirty-hve constituent members. The
first church edifice was erected in 1866 at an ex-
pense Of $4,000, the larger portion of the
amount being paid by its senior deacon, Hon.
Amos Kendall. This edifice was burned the
year after its dedication, but was at once re-
built The Rev. j. g. Kennard, DID,, served
as pastor for portion of the first year, when
Rev. T. r. Hewlett d. D., was called and con-
succeeded him in passionate of six years, then
followed Rev. A. F. Mason, in a passionate of
about three years. DIR. Greene entered the
present pastorate December /. 1879 Calvary
Church is one Of the largest, most united and
aggressive churches in the city. With a men,
bership of 976, Sunday school yet
larger, and . congregation overlooking its
edifce. Calvary Church is no small factor in
the religious life Of Washington. Its Kendall
Chapel Mission has already been organized into

LAUNCHING OF THE MAINE.
The Distinguished Party That Went
From Here to Witness It.


From Here to Witness 1t.
At noon today the great hull OF the ship that
Is to be the first armored vessel ever built by the
United States slid from the ways in the Brook
lyn navy yard and was christened ''The
Maine" She il yet but q shell, without armor,
without masts, without engines, and it will be
many months before she can SO to sea under
the flag Of the country. But the fact that she
has actually been completed, even though as a
shell, in government yard, is an event OF suf-
fcient importance to be noted in italics
throughout tho country. Many are the vessels
that have been projected and even begun, in a
government yard, but few Of them, since the
war, have ever felt the water on their bulls
save from the rain. Twelve years or more ago
the good ship Yantic. a wooden craft. was
launched from the ship house at the Washing
ton navy yard and since then all Of the ships
that have slid of into the service of Uncle Sam
have made their debuts from private yards.
DISTINGUISHED PARTY FROM THIS CITY,
The launch Of the Maine took place today in
the presence Of large concourse Of people,
among whom were over q hundred Washing
tonians, who went over to New York last night
in special train at the invitation of Secretary
Tracy. The party was as follows: Secretary
Tracy, Assistant Secretary Solely. Gen. Grant,
