Christ Church is the daughter of Trinity.
For years there had been a greatly increas-
ing demand for the English service in Trim
ity Church. and considerable discussion re-
suited. Finally the congregation decided
that the young people should form an in
dependent organization and call their own
pastor This organization was organized in
1882, and then began a gallant fight for
its existence. At first It was very small,
consisting of only five persons which made
the battle all the harder. The principle
difficulty was in securing a pastor, because
the little congregation had no great in
ducements to offer and the future held no
very bright prospect.
After calling in vain for a pastor for
year the congregation secured the services
of Rev. c. c. Morhart of Erie, Pa. DIR.
Morhart was acquainted with the history
of the young church, and was aware of
the difficulties that beSet It, Believing that
English minister had very useful mis-
sion in the solution of the larger questions
in the church, and with full knowledge
of the formidable obstacles that confronted
the little congregation, he came to Wash
ington and began the arduous task of build
ing I'd his flock.
For the first year English services were
held at Trinity IN the evening, but as the
congregation grew it was evident that 1t
could not remain with the mother church,
and steps were taken to secure a suitable
site for building Many were considered
before the present one on New Jersey ave-
nue. was selected. The property has
frontage of sixty feet on New Jersey ave-
nue. and runs back 10 feet, and it is on
the extreme rear of this lot that the pres
ent building has been erected
I:
Having secured the site. the question of
what to build remained to be answered.
TIE members of the congregation did not
consider it advantageous to build a small
church, or chapel, which would have to be
removed to make room for the larger ed
ifce they hoped 10 build in the future and
they did not want to assume the burden of
the large debt the building of large
church would impose. After considering
many plans it was finally decided to build
only a part of the structure; then. when

and was succeeded by the Rev Henry ].

In the winter of 1851 the church was burned
1t was rebuilt and the Rev DR.. Morgan be-
came rector when DIR. Whitehouse was made
a bishop In 1866 the present site was
bought and a temporary church was used
until 1870 Upjohn considered the new
building his finest work. The interior was
considered one of the finest in New York.
MonoIith columns supported the roof of the
nave and the central dome at the interseqA
ton OF nave and transept. The mural hang
ings by La Fargo. each covering two faces
of the decagonal chaucel, represented the
appearance of the angel to the soldierh
guarding the tomb of Christ and the meet
ing of the Marys and the angels after the
resurrection.
The reredos done by Saint Gaudens repres
sented the alteration of the cross by angei9
and cherubs. In the recesses thanking tho

valuable paintings and the new organ the
money loss exceeded $4,000 The insur-

The mere loss Of the building proper
would not be q stunning blow to parish
with an income of $4,000 a year. but the
fire took away things which can never be
replaced. The chancel decorations, done
under the direction of John La Fargo anu
Augustus Saint Gaudens were DESTROYED.
