| ed, of Faith Methodist Chapel, and the
property on which it is built, to the Meth
odist Episcopal denomination within the
Baltimore conference, In trust OF the Ana
costa Methodist Episcopal Church officials
Faith Chapel is situated on the Bowen road
near the District line on quarter of an
acre lot. For some time past it has been
dependent for services upon the pastor of
Anacostia Church, the Rev. Charles y.

The congregation of worshfpers at the
chapel was organized about seven years

never appointed to the charge, as the
chapel was Independent and did not come
under the jurisdiction of the Baltimore con-
ference or any other. About a year ago
Mr. Isaac was secured to hold services TOUR
| times month in the chapel. and this he
has been doing since, as well as holding
protracted meetings for the benefit OF the
people of the section whenever necessary.
Recently Mr.. Bruen came into full pos
session of the chapel after some financial
outlay, 1t is stated and he made to Mr.
Isaac the proposition that 1t be transferred
to the Baltimore conference, subject TO the
trustees of Anacostia Church. The off1cial
board Of Anacostia Church has presented
to Mr.. Bruen an engrossed copy of set
of resolutions, passed by the members,
thanking him for his gift.
