AND ITS CORNER STONE

The above cut shows an exact like.
ness of Asbury NJ. E. Church before il
was remodeled and changed to the
splendid editice of to-day. The his
tory of this church is given in another
article. A matter of interest in con-
nectlon with the old church was the
opening of the corner stone September
6, 1871. From the files of The TIMES
OF that date we note that in tearing
out the front of the old church to
make room for the improvement.
there was great curiosity manifested
to see the contents Of the old corner
stone, which was laid May 90, 1914.
The tin box was opened in the par
sonage and was found TO contain a
Bible, Methodist hymnal, discipline of
the Church, officers and scholars of
the Sunday School, members of the

Asbury M. E. Church, Smyrna.
BY REV. ROBERT WATT, Pastor.

Methodism originated in Smyrna
some time during the year 1919. The
town was at that time called Duck
Greek Cross Roads, and Asbury thus
styles it in his journal. The present
name was given in 1906.
LII as not definitely known who intro
ducedIMethodism into Smyrna, but the
hrst preaching place was in the house
James L. Stevenson, Esq. He was
the great grandfather of Miss Lydia
Mcdowell, the present Superintendent
OF the primary department of the Sab
bath School. Among the dis
tiaguished and Cody men WHO
preached in this house was Francis
(later Bishop Asbury, who preached
In Smyrna for the first time, Decem-
ber Both, 1880, the text being Matt. 3:
7-f0. 1t is said that this sermon pro-
duced a marvellous effect
In November, 1884, ThOs. Coke, who
had been ordained Bishop by Mr.
Wesley, came from Wilmington to
Smyrna, where he spent the night, and
preached in the home of John Cole
This was the first sermon preached on
this peninsula by methodist Bishop.
Bishop Coke was on his way to meet
Mr. Asbury, and they did meet a few
days later in historic Barrett's Chapel.
1t was at this time that Coke and AS
bnry planned and arranged for the
famous Christmas Conference which
resulted in the formal organization of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
the election of both Coke and Asbury
to the EpiscOpacy, Smyrna at once be-
CAME regular appointment on Della
ware Circuit, which then embraced
nearly the entire peninsula. In 1871
Delaware Circuit was divided into
Smyrna times., 1904-07-06

Kent and Sussex Circuits, Smyrna be-
ing on the former. Various changes
and readjustments in these circuits
were made, extending from 1882 to 1906,
when the name of the circuit was
changed to Smyrna. This was the ar
raugement until 184J, when Smvrna
was made station. Smyrna Circuit
retained the old name with head
quarters in Smyrna, and is probably
the Oldest Circuit in the conference.
The first regular church edifice was
erected in 1886 This building was
about thirty feet square, seating
nearly three hundred people, and cost
$1,000 In honor of the apostle of
American Methodism, it was called
Asbury, the name the present church
bears. This original house of Worship
met the needs of the congregation for
more than fifty years. But the press
ing demand for a new and more COM
modiOus building became SO urgent
that IN 1845 new and more modern
church was erected on Mt. Vernon
Street. This church had a seating

After a faithful pastorate of thirteen
years the relations between himself
and the Smyrna church were dissolved
