Baptist Cause Prospered.

AT the close OF 1871 tnere were ABOUT
300 Baptists in the city. about $50 with the
First Church, 100 with the Second. and
half that number with the colored church.
Attempts had been made TO start two
other churches, but had failed.
Taking up the thread where Mr.. Pollard
Mad left off, Rev. DR.. Meador carried the
ineme through the era of enlargement. He
told of the formation of the Third Church
by a withdrawal of members from the
Second. of a number of prominent men
who lent their energy AMI Hfro,'s TO the
building of the church, but with T.tlc
avail, until the services of Elder Knapp,
a noted evangelist, Brought into the
church during five months over 100 pro-
fessed converts, besides a number by let
ter from other churches.
Their church was built on the site of
the present E street Baptist Church.
Shortly afteryard there was dissension
in the ranks of the members of the
church, and as result of the split the
Fourth Baptist Church was started by
Rev Isaac Coler. They erected magnif-
cent building on Thirteenth Street, but
were unable to carry the load which they
had assumed and were compelled to as
sign everything TO the First Church.
which assumed the debt.
In 1856 further division OF the e Street
congregation resulted in the formation of
the Island Baptist Church in the south
western section OF the city, under the
guidance of DR.. Staunton. The corner
stone of the present church building was
laid in 1866 and the building dedicated in
1873.
The property has recently been bought
by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad,
and within the next two months the con-
gregation will move into their new edifice.
Calvary Church Formed
Calvary, or Sixth Baptist Church, was
formed by thirty-hye members Of the
Street Church, who withdrew In 1862,
under the guidance of ]. S. Kennard. For
q time they worshipped in the hall used
by the law department of Columbian Uni
versity. Their new building was burned
in 1866, but was quickly rebuilt. About
this time DR.. James Nelson was placed
in charge of church that was started
in Georgetown. II was burned a few years
ago, hut has been rebuilt.
An effort was made in 1873 by another
faction that left the e Street Church to
start the North Baptist Church, but IL
failed, and the members united with the
First Church.
DR.. Greene hurried over the formation
OF the nine other churches, and as to the
era of cooperation dwelt upon the won
