LITTLE CHURCH AROUND THE GoRYERN9,

The story which SO aptly illustrates
the broad charity of the church is
evef being told with countless varia-
tions. h present rector. the Rev. DIR.
G. c. H%oughton. learns of a new twist
every week or SO. Mo- long ago. a man
who had just been made a happy
bridegroom by Mr.. Houghton, turned to
him and said:
"And now won't you tell me the name
of the actor whose marriage made the
church famous?"
On thing. however, is never left out Of
the story, no matter how much twisted it
may other be. That is the charity of it.:
and so long as this is preserved in the
telling. just SO long will the Little Church
Around the Corner be known of men;
for there Is no getting away from 1.-THE
greatest of all things is charity.
The church's Humble Origin.
The Rev. DR.. George II. Houghton, who
20 kindly consented to bury George Kol-
land. was the founder OF the church. 1t
had it's beginning, humble enough, IN a
private house only a few blocks distant
from the present site. Tha was in Octo-
Der of 1S4S, and two years later the original
church building, So small that 1t now
forms onl! the west end Of the nave, was

the age Of Z in the ballet school of the

she and Cleo distinguished themselves

a single Jewel.
Those who ave seer the charming

the modest f%ore-runner of the magnificent
system of schools made possible by the
grant to the corporation of Trinity Of the
historic Queens Farm.
Indeed, his crown grant IS the founda-
ton on which the greater Trinity has been
built. Before the city had grown SO far
north as to need the farm for building lots,
Trinity was SO hard up, financially. that
1t could not pay the salary of Assistant
Minister Provost (afterward rector) and
he thereupon withdrew. This was in ITO,
~siNty-tiVe years after Anneke Jans Bo-
gardus acres had came into possession OF
the parish by way of the crown. But the
managers of Trinity corporation were
iong-headed chaps. They knew that the
city could grow only one way-that was
north-and to the north their holdings
lay. So Trinity struggled on to make both
ends meet until the day when 1t would be
able to realize on its grant, which had
been considerably added to from time to
time by purchase. 1t was around the
