THE FIELD

President Curtis, of the Central Labor
Union of Southeastern Virginia, asks
that the following be given q place in
the Firginian- Pilot labor columns:
THE question is often asked. and
many times asserted. that trades unions
are 4 menace to Industrial DEVELOPMENT
and dangerous to personal liberty. AS
matter of fact, trades unions are a
positive help to industrial development
and they protect and make persona!
liberty possible under the present means
OF production. 1t is Il fact that should
be apparent to the casual observer, that
the more the masses earn the more they
consume, hence it naturally follows tha,t
trades unions, by an increase of III,
wages OF its members, thereby enabling
them to obtain more money to spend,
are as n natural consequence directly
responsible for the increased consump-
ton TO meet the increased wants of the
well paid worker, and they are indi-
rectly responsible for and more largely

SOW that the congregation OF Cum
berland Street NJ. L. Church, South,
have taken the initial steps In erecting
new cdiice on the southwest corner
OF Precursor and Cumberland streets.
Il history of the old mother church,
around which clusters so many pres
icus memories, will doubtless prove
specially interesting TO this extensive
and influential body of Christians and
their friends in THIS city and section.
From the most remote history it APP
pears that the NIethodists OF Norfolk
owned no church editice of any de-
scription whatever before 1893 or 1894.
Their regular place OF worship until
the beginning OF the Revolutionary
struggle is supposed to have been the
old shattered building. the play house"
mentioned by Pilmorr and Asbury.
Where their stated meetings we're held
until their first house was erected is
not definitely known. Doubtless they
were accommodated Il part and per-
hans most of the time. in private resi-
Gences. and in such places as could be
rented for the purpose.
IL is SAID tnat Joseph Herritar, who
resided ut the intersection of Church
and Precursor streets, opened his
house for preaching for years before a
church was built.
BUILDING LOT SECURED.
In 1888, when the society numbered
rot more than fifty members, most of
whom were poor. they determined 10
have house of their own even though
1t should be on the plainest and cheap
est plan. y lot on the west side Of
Fenchurch street was leased from Mr..
William Wake for term of sixty
years at the price Of 'ten pounds in
sp cie." In the deed OF lease the bound
aries are described as follows: Begin
ming at the cornerstone OF the Academy
lot and running south 9S feet, thence
along William Wakes garden LA feet.
and from thence to the first station"
In the contract it was stipulated that
no dead bodies are to be buried on
the lot" and at the expiration of the
lease the lot and the improvements
thereon are to be surrendered.
The property was conveyed to Fran
els Asbury. bishop OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church. and to each minister
and member of the said church in the
United States. individually and COL
