When the small congregation which

at the time the new church enterprise
was put on foot let it be known to the
public that it was going to build the
present beautiful and commodious struc-
ture people shook their heads and won
dered how it was going to be accom-
plished. but it was done. and Rev Avery
Donovan and his people astonished the
members OF the other denominations.
because of their achievements in the
way of raising finances for the building
of Bates Memorial Then Rev Donovan
was called to another field and Rev. l..
A. Bennett came to Snow Hill. There
was still debt of ), 10000 on the
property and when it is taken into CON
sideration that the members had made
many sacrifices to accomplish the work
already done il is much 10 the credit
of Mr. Bennett and his people that this
Indebtedness has been reduced by sub
scriptions and pledges till there is only
needed to wipe out the building ndebt-
edness the sum Of 81. 500 90, which it is
hoped will be raised during the present
session Of Conference
Mr.. Bennett has been a powerful
force forgood in this community. During
the past two years ne has been here he
has had POO and more conversions in
his churches and rs Of these have
joined the church
Mr. Bennett is a native Of Wicomico
County When only fourteen years Of
age he was converted. and before reach
ing his majority he was impressed that
it was his duty to preach the gospel.
He entered the Theological Seminary
at Westminster for the purpose of
making preparations for his life's work,
Since his admission To the Maryland
Conference he has been very successful
as means of saving souls and con.
structing and improving church prop
erty His first charge was on Frederick
Circuit. where his earthly efforts in the
ministry met with great success. over
one hundred persons were converted
here under his preaching.
At the Conference Of 1891 he was
sent to Georgetown. Del. where he
undertook the work of establishing "A
station and building a church. There
were only three members of the NJ 2.
Church in that town when he com
menced his work there At the end of
his ministry of three years he left a
hundred members and a beautiful church
edifice.
Since that time he has served Crisfeld.
Mariners Chapel, and built new
church at Lawsonia, which bears his
name. From there he was sent to Del
mar. where be met with the same kind
of success he had met with elsewhere
After four years at Delmar he was
sent to Fawn Grove. Pa, where he
built a magnificent pressed-brck church
edifce, costing over So, 900 90 aud had
over one hundred and fifty accessions
10 the church.
Mr. Bennett is an evangelist, whose
reputation has spread far from his
native state and his reputation as a
church builder is second to that of no
other man in the Conference. He is a
very earnest Christian man and the
people of Snow Hill wish him long life
and continued success in the work of
the Master.
