HOLY CROSS EPISCOPAL

About twenty.si years ago tho
Episcopal congregation of the Holy
Cross was organized by a number OF
persons, from two classes, those who
preferred a slightly higher ritual then
that at St. Peters church; and those
to whom the new church would be more
easily accessible than St. Peters, in
the southern section of the city. A
small frame cdifice was built in High
street facing Center street and ser
vices held therein. This was after
ward moved to its present location at
Washington and tombstone streets.
The church has had no regular
pastor, residing in this city, but
services have been conducted by diff
ferent breaches from Sunday to Sun
day, OF by a minister who came here
regularly on Sunday.
The need of this church has been
recognized by Bishop Scarborough,
and, on the occasion of one of his
latest visits to this city, he urged the
people of st. Peters church to do all
IL their power to encourage the work
St. Peters congregation has frequent
ly lent valuable aid to the smaller
church.
The last pastor, Rev. i. p. Willcs
who preached here on Sundays fol
several months, was recently called to
a regular charge.
This church is under the direction
of the Associate Mission. which, ii
the absence of a pastor supplies ;
preacher every Sunday. 1t is expect
! ed that a now rector will be appointed
very shortly.

the formation OF a congregation, tool
place, but no definite action was taker
until about three years ago. Scvera
meetings were held which finally re
suited in the securing of supply past
ors to preach at frequent intervals
The meetings were at first held at the
homes of some Of the people interested
in the formation of a church in this
city. The church was organized in a
short while and the congregation chose
the name, Grace English Lutheran
church. Services we're held for some
time in Union Hall, over Therkelson
and Browns store, at Io7 Smith street.
A Sunday School was established and
sessions held regularly. The first
settled pastor, who has accomplished
wonderful results. and is still here,
was Rev. Emil J. Kculing, who came
here about the beginning Of the year
1908.
After the congregation had held
services in Union Hall a short while,
the hall of Algonquin Lodge, Knights
of Pythias, in the Mccormick Build
ing, Smith and High streets, was rent
ed, as a place of worship. For some
time, previous to the securing of this
hall, Wednesday evening prayer meet
ings had been held at the homes Of
the members. The church has shown a
wonderful growth in membership and
interest since the beginning of Mr..
Kculing's pastorate and the figures to-
day are very encouraging. Sometime
ago, land was purchased in Jefferson
street, nearly opposite the Public
Library, the property being 1873 feet
deep, and having a frontage of 100
feet. Bids are now out for a chapel
to be erected on the rear of the plot.
This building will be placed SO as to
leave plenty of room for a church
ediiicc, to be built some time in the
future. There will be room, at the
side of the church site, for a parsonage
will probably be built before
the church is erected. The chapel.
which is to be used as a house of
worship until the church is erected,
will be GO feet long and &c feet wide.
will be two extensions to be
used as a chancel and a robing room
respectively. The former will be II by
s feet, and the latter, I2x18 feet. The
church is in a fiourishing condition.

May RI, a handsome banner, be.
longing to St. Stanislaus's Benovoleni
Society, one of the hourishing or
CARNATIONS of the church, was blessed
with elaborate ceremony by Father
Szymanowski.
The tenth anniversary of the church
was celebrated on Memorial Day
May 80 1902. 1t was a day to be
remembered in this city. An elabor
ate parade, containing the Polish So
cieties Of the church, Bishop Nc Faul's
carriage, a number of girls in white
but then recently confirmed, and a
number of Polish priests of the
diocese, as well as many mor priests
of other nationalities, circled the
prominent streets of the city. A ser
vice was held at the church and this
was followed by a s%umptuous banquet
at the rectory, rendered to the bishop,
visiting clergymcn and a number of
laymen.
An interesting feature of the cele-
bration was the presentation of a gold
medal to Mrs. Hcdwig Bonczkowski,
wife of the first settler. Father
Szymanowski was presented with a
framed memorial, signed, on behalf
of the congregation, by the three first
settlers. The priest also received a
gold-headcd cane from the children
of the parish. Bishop McFaul made
a congratulatory address.
After Father Szymanowski left,
shortly after the tenth anniversary Of
the church and also Of his pastoratc,
there was no settled pastor for Il few
months. In October Of that year,
Rev. Julian Zielinski, who had been
pastor of the church at South Amboy
took charge of the parish. Father
Szymanowski had never had. an assis-
tant, or curatc, as he is termed. but
when Father Ziclinski had been here
a short time, the work became too
great for one man, and in October
1908, Rev. Anthony Klijanowicz
came here as curate, Both he and
Father Ziclinski still remain. The
latter has proven the right man for
the right place, and, during his past
crate, the church has increased in
every direction. 1t is the largest
Polish congregation in the city and at
present contains about $500 persons,
included in about 500 families.

SWEDISH CONGREGATIONAL

Abont twenty years ago the Scan
linavian people of this city who were
inclined to the Congregational belief
lnited to form a congregation. Min
isters were secured to come to this
,ity to conduct services at the homes
ot the members who at first numbered
about IL or IS. First among these
preachers we're Rev. +. Erickson and
Rev. Carl Holm.
After holding services at the mem
)crs' houses for three or four years,
a hall was secured and used as a
church. This hall has since been re-
moved and rebuilt and is now occu
ned as a dwelling by MIR. Anton Ever
ON, of III State sire t. The number
# worshiprc rs how ID a steldy in
reasc and has G owl, since the haIl
Nls first used, to i, J. eli Der i oil
bout seventy-five.
The congregation was organized in
1891, at which time a former Saliva
ton Army worker, named Palmer, was
pastor.
Six or seven years ago, tho frame
building which had, up to that time
been used as a Sunday school by the
First Presbyterian church, was pur
chased by the Swedish congregation
and moved to its present location il
Gordon street, a short distance cas-
of Brighton avenue. 1t has beer

charge. He succeed Rev. fmi
Johnson. The church now has al
active membership of about fifty. bu
can count ON 100 worshippers. Con
nccted with it is a flourishing Sun

BETH MORDECAI.

The erection, in 1897, of the hand
some synagogue. in Hobart street, of
the Beth Mordecai Hebrew Congrc-
| gation, was the outcome of a move
ment which had been on foot for sew
eral years previous to that time, to
put the congregation on.a firm footing.
The work was first begun more
than a decade ago, by a number of
the better-known Jewish residents of
the city. They combined for mutual
assistance and benefit, and for the
purpose of establishing a regular sys-
TEN of worshipping a number Of
meetings were held at irregular
intervals, and, after a short while,
the residence of Kassel Finklestein,
of GO Market street, became their
place of worship. Mr.. Finklestcin
was one of the most active in the CT
forts to put the affairs of the congic-
CATION in a stable condition.
Soon the erection of an editice YVES
considered, and efforts to raise funds
for hat purpose begun. BY dint of
much labor and earnest endcavor, SUI
6cicnt funds were raised to begin the
erection of the synagogue. Kassel
Finklestcin was chairman of the build
ing committee.
The cdifice was dedicated on Thurs
day November, IS, 1897. AT this
time, A. Grccnbaum was president Of
the building committee. There we're
nearly two thousand people present.
and the building vas crowded. Ad-
dresses were made, among others, by
Mr.. Finklestein, President Grcenbaum,
Mayor Ira b. Ticc, Rev. Stephen S.
Wise, of New York, Freebooter South,
h. Harrington and Rev. Sofa Mendcs.
The synagogue was designed by Al
fred Hall, and built by James Grow
ney. The money was raised mostly
by subscription, and amounted TO
$500. The interior furnishings
we're contributed by the ladies of the
congregation, to whom a large share
of credit for the Succcss Of the Owe
ment was due.
The building is among the more
handsome houses of worship in this
city. 1t is situated at 4 Hobart street,
t vo doors north of Market street. II
i, a frame structure, with colored
windows and a very high entrance,
reached by a long flight Of steps. The
front OF the roof is surmountcd by a
small %conical tower, several feet in
height. 1t is one of the two hand
some synagogues of which the city
boasts.
Working hand in hand with the
members arc the ladies of the church.
| who have a welLconducted society.
Their annual masquerade ball is one
of the events of the winter season in
this city.
A day school is conducted in o

members, is now in the best condi-
