Emmanuel Baptist Church
Will Not Seek Another
Building.
THE REASON Is FINANCIAL
Improvement Seems to Be the
Order of the Day in Every
Direction.

Since that time its services have been held
in the Grace NJ. E. Church, Twenty-frst
and Capp streets. An appeal has been is
sued by Pastor Gibson, Secretary Lynch
and the finance committee, which tell its
own story as follows:
Before the terrible events of April 13 the
church was struggling under debt of $12, 900,
but there was every prospect of paying it off,
as the congregation was increasing The cir
cumstances connected with the crime, the
damage done to the building have increased
the financial burdens. We are anxious to raise
as much money as possible before we resume
our services and appeal TO our friends for their
generous aid.

tween TWenty-ffth and Twenty-siXth.
The concrete foundations for dwelling have
been laid on Twenty-siXth street, between Capp

filled in and our neighbors near there will now
