ST. JAMES PROSPEROUS.
Pastor Williams Brings Order Out of
Chaos-NeW Church Nearing
Completion.

st. James A. M. E. Church. Pendle-
ton and st. Ferdinand, is progressing
steadily A little over three years ago
we were few in number, with no place
to worship. God, through Bishop C.
I. Shaeffer, sent to us a modern
"Moses" in the person of Rev. w. c.
Williams Never did minister enter
upon a pastorate more discouraging
than did this intrepid man of God.
When he took charge of the. church
he found, upon his arrival, nothing
but a mass of debris, with here and
there a member. He arrived here
October 3, 1902. Five weeks later he
laid the cornerstone of the new church.
The basement was finished at a cost
of $4,000, and was ready for use by
the middle of November. Within
eight months after he assumed charge
of the church the entire cost of the
basement was paid. This being done,
he next turned his attention toward
the main debt, part of which had
been standing for nearly twenty
years. By a united effort $1,375 was
raised in the July Rally of 1904. A
lew weeks later we burned our mort
gage, setting a precedent for all the
A. NJ E. churches in the great
metropolis of the west 1t was indeed
a gala day for st James, and we sang
with full and thankful hearts, praise
God from whom all blessings flow"
We are now building the auditorium,
and when completed it will be one c
the most magnificent churches in the
city. Too much can not be said in
the Napoleon of the Missouri con-
ference AS a mark of the high ap-
probation of his work and the
great esteem in which he is held by
both saint and sinner, the class lead
ers planned a pleasant surprise.
Thanksgiving evening. While he and
his good wife were in the church as
sisting with the decorations wagon
drove up to the parsonage and
deposited the following donations
from the different classes: Glass
No. /, firkin of lard; class No. 2,
frkin of butter; class No. 3, barrel of
flour and 12-pOund turkey; class No.
4, three 3-pound cans of Mocha and
Java coffee; class No. s. 2M-pound
can of Prices baking powder and
three pounds of tea; class NO. ., 10
pounds granulated sugar; class No.
Z, box of laundry soap.
When they returned their surprise
was great and words failed them to eX-
press their gratitude at this mark OF
affection and loyalty from the mem
bers and their many friends. The
church has grown spiritually, imam
cially and socially. From member
ship of 80 it has grown to 290. From
a chaotiG mass st. James has arisen
in beauty and grandeur, which re-
fleets credit on her pastor AMI all who
worship at her shrine.

Sands of the Yale Athletic association sent a petition 10 President Maccabe of the A. A. U. 10 have Connecticut transferred from the New England to the Metropolitan association AS the New England people were favorable to the change. and the Metropolitan people had no objection, Maccahe ordered Secretary Sullivan to submit the matter at once to a mail vote with the result stated. The transfer of the registered athletes will be made at once from the New to the Metropolitan associa- tOn
