CONGREGATION SET ADR1Fr
TRANSPORTATION chapel rarishioners win Have
TO Meet In q HnIl.

Tho congregation Of the TRANSPORTATION
Chapel In West sixty ninth street is now home
less. Yesterday morning the keys OF the church
were delivered to representatives OF st.
Stephens parish, which lately bought the build
ing for $4,000, and the congregation Of the
TRANSPORTATION Chapel, under Father Lawson
Carter Rich, will on next Sunday hold service
in q hall.
II sun has already told tho story Of the cf'
forts mnde by tho chapel congregation to get
possession OF the chapel from the mother church.
But 1t was sold to the parish downtown and tho
money received will be applied to the endow-
ment fund Of tho Church Of the Tranfguration
after certain Of Its debts have been paid. Tho
surrender of the keys to the new owners Of tho
property yesterday settled all hope Of the con-
tinuance of the congregation in the chapel
building. Under Father Treat the congregation
has Increased to about 800 persons. and the In
tention Of the parish is to get a church Of its
chapel has existed for twenty years.
One of the phases of the matter which most
ton was a L letter from DR.. HoSshtton. ADVISING
them to worship along with the congregation OF
st. stephen,e parish when It moves up to tho
church. whereas the services at tho chapel, as
well as at the Church Of the TRANSPORTATION, are
the most advanced in the rltualistio way OF tho
church. For that reason the members of the
from their mother church to cooperate with a
parish Of such different teachings. They felt
that such n condition would have been impossi-
BILE. and they reported this to DIR. Houghton.
II is said that St stephen.s parish may not be
acquired possession. Three. Of the Episcopal
churches in the neighborhood have refused the
necessary consent to the presence OF the conRre-
cation there. The Bishop has not yet given his
consent and It is said that the Diocesan Conyen-
ton next fall will inquire into the matter. It Is
also said that the Standing Committee OF the
diocese has refused its consent.
Il believe that DIR. Houghton is very much
grieved at the loss of tho chapel" said ono OF
the congregation yesterday, for 1t was founded
with the ultimate idea of having o church here.
I think It Is more the work OF his vestry. Tho
ground was bought for $4,000, and it was sold
at 1856, 600, so the speculation was q very profit
able one. But tho chapel WAS never founded
with any such idea, and the, sale of the property
to another parish is u very different result from
any contemplated in the beginning. l think our
Offer, to buy the chapel was rejected because 1t
was known that we would naturally expect to
pay less for the property than the vestry OF the
mother church would charge q strange parish"
