part was very good. Charles Emmerson
sang several baritone solos in splendid
STYLE, and was enthusiastically encored.
He possesses a very fine voice.

Colored Worshippers Need a
New Church Salem's Adj

The congregation of the Salem (col-
to secure a larger building in which to
worship. Their present church is made
quate to the needs of the rapidly grow
ing membership. The Rev. r. A. Mot
ley and his parishioners are soliciting
contributions from their white brethren
and hope soon to be able to secure the
money necessary for beginning work on
a new edifice. Pastor Motley says that
seventeen years ago, when he took
charge, the church had a membership of
twenty-five persons. They then wor-
shipped on Sackett street, between Gin
ton and Bramhall avenues, in an old
half fallen down building. He labored
there for over three years. The church
did not at that time own any property
whatever and found it a hard task to
pay So a month for the building In which
they worshipped and give their pastor,
who was then a single man, anything
like an encouraging salary.
In the early part of 1880, with the help
of friends, Mr.. Motley was able to pur-
chase the small church on Union street,
where they are today, from the German
Evangelical Brethren. so-@
In 1881 they entered the church and
took charge of the property, d~edicating
it free from debt on May 30 of the same
year. Since that time many improve
ments have been made in. the building,
but they have never been begun until the
money to pay for them has first been
raised, and up to date the pastor has
not allowed his people to run heavily in

they owe at the present time.
The seating capacity of the present
house is 100, and the present member
ship of the church is 1853. AS can be
seen there is only spare room for two
more. The endorsement and common
dalton of the North New Jersey Baptist
Association and the Board of Managers
of the same association, recommending
the pastor and cause of this church to
the public at large is looked forward to
ness. Following is the Recommendation
which Mr.. Motley is spreading broad
cast
ITO Whom it may Concern:-
pastor of the Salem Baptist Church (col-
ored) of Jersey City has the cordial COM
mendation of the North New Jersey Bap-
fist Association; and
Missionary Committee of the association
has investigated the work of Brother
Motley during the seventeen years of
his service as pastor of said church, and
fnds it remarkable for good judgment,
economy, self-sacrifice and success; and
Whereas, We are impressed with the
necessity of increased capacity in the
house of worship of said church for the
congregation; therefore
Resolved, That this board heartily
commends the Rev. R. A; Motley and
his church to the liberality and conf
dence OF the Lords people.
