The Methodist OF Union Course Are co
Have New Church.
New York Times: After many years
OF effort the Methodists of MON
Course, l.. L., have succeeded in rails
ing funds sufficient to build a suitable
house of worship and coy little struc-
ture is now nearly completed.
Perhaps there is no place in this
neighborhood where there has been
more wickedness, at least from the
Methodist point Of view, than in this
village. The famous Unoin race course,
from which the village derives it's
name, was in it's day the greatest gam
bling center in the neighborhood of
New York city. 1t was there that many
OF the present day kings of the turf
made their first successful bets, and
where many old time famous horses
won their first races. OF course, that
was all long ago. The race track has
disappeared under pretty villas and
busy stores, but this change took time
and it was years before there were
enough Methodists to organize church
society. When such an organization
finally did get into existence it started
in to fight wickedness in a decidedly
novel manner. There was in the village
a particularly Objectionable liquor sa-
loon, which had survived from the old
race track days and which was the re-
sort OF bad characters. One enthusiastic
member of the new church society sug-
gested that it's first work should be to
get rid of the Objectionable saloon
keeper.
How can we do it?" he was asked
BUY him out" was the answer. 1--WE
need building and will give $500 to-
ward securing the saloon
This struck everybody as good plan
and so the saloon keeper was bought
out and his den of iniquity converted
into a house of worship. In that build
ing the church society grew stronger
and stronger and recently the plan for
the new building was perfected and the
money raised.
The society still worships in the old
saloon. BY what seemed an intervention
of Providence, the building recently
narrowly escaped destruction. 1t was
right in the path of the terrible cyclone
which swept through the village on the
afternoon of Saturday, July Is. All the
buildings in the immediate vicinity
were wrecked or injured. A shed at one
end of the church was carried quar-
ter of mile, and tree at the other
end was pulled out by the roots. The
church building itself was uninjured.
but next morning, when the members
of the congregation gathered at the
church, they found that the wind.
sweeping under the doors, had torn up
the carpet and some of the pews and
piled them in promiscuOus heap in
the center of the room. This seemed
like Providential hint that it was
time for the congregation to move.
They held service, but on Sunday, July
%. they laid the corner stone of the
new church building.
The new structure will seat, when
finished, about 400 persons. 1t is I'M
pretentious, being built in the Queen
Anne style of architecture. The interior
will be finished in natural wood. The
windows are to be of cathedral glass.
The church will be dedicated next
month.
