A short history of the church follows:
Sunday school was organized at $50 Elm
wood avenue. East Orange, September 1.
twenty-siX scholars, the result of earnest
effort of the Lindsey family. the most of
whom are still in active service. The first
church was built on the Y%ailsburg line
Bishop Jayne, October "A. of that year.
The church building was moved to the
present site in Sanford street, near Cen
trail avenue. ii the early part of 1896. The
reopentng services were held February
2. 1896, A mortgage of $500. placed on
the church at this time was raised dur
ing the pastorate of the Rev. Hedding b.
Leech. The mortgage was burned March
to February. 1908. when an aggressive
policy was determined upon. Special serv-
ices were held May II. 1908, and the LAM
and building u was started. The late
DR., S. Z. Upham preached at both serv-
ices. Contracts for this building were
given out February II. 1906. The new Sun
day school room was opened for service
October Il. 1906. and such was the financial
success that contracts to finish the audi
torium were given to the same contractors
in November. 1906. The cost of the build
ing is 1880: OF equipment. SO. 1855; of
additional land, 81 .600; other expenses,
