Shattuck with his broad expanse of white
vest emerged through the mahogany doors,

bers Of the conference were present. The
site committee reported that since the last

ner of Rhode Island avenue and 18th street
had been considered by the committee and
it was presented as a desirable location
for the church. -" II

on Connecticut, avenue between II and I
streets were also proposed by members
of the conference. after a thorough dis
cussion of the various sites offered the con-
ference authorized the site committee to
investigate the property situated at Rhode
Island avenue and 18th street, and if it
proves to be largo enough for the erection
of such a building as the society desires
to construct to enter into negotiation look
ing toward its purchase.
If this property shall be purchased ii

ritery now occupied by st. Paufs NJ. e.
Church. A resolution was adopted that in
