THE CALVARY METHODIST CHURCH.
Yesterday before larger congregation than
is usually present Rev. Mr.. Black conducted
services in the West Georgetown or Calvary
Methodist Church 1t had been stated that
owing to the lack of interest in the church, the
fact that 1t had no pastor, the small number of
regular parishioners and the existence of an
other and very prosperous church on Dunn
barton avenue it was the intention
Of those at the head Of the Methodist
Church in Georgetown to let yester-
days services be the last held in Calvary
but 1t seems that since the matter became
public new life has sprung up in the old church
and its stand-bys. On Saturday it was stated
to reporter that never, while they were able
to prevent it. should the Dumbarton Avenue
Church trustees, in whom the title rests, sell
their religious home.
For the present nothing toward the abandon
ment Of the church will be done, and the Gen.
trail Union Mission will hold weekly meetings
there in the hope Of revlving the old interest in
the church.

excellent management on the part of those in
charge. The male choruses acquitted them
selves well in their Tinkers' Chorus from
Robin Hood" and Conspirators Chorus from
the Fencing Master" and under the leadership
of Miss Annie c. Scanned attained quite pro-
fessional ease in the action of their parts. All
were in suitable and grotesque costume Miss

lures depicting the evolution of American
dress from the costume of the little Indian girl
whom Columbus first saw on landing to the
gown of the Western High School miss of '93.
The second part of the program consisted of
