HAVEN CHURCH
SAVES EDIFICE
COIOred Congregation Gets
Title After Two Years
Of Trouble

The Haven Methodist Episcopal Church,
a colored congregation, which has been
having so much trouble in Strengthening
out its finances and the title to its prop
erty. has at last been able to satisfac-
torily settle with its contractors and cred
itors.
The property was at one time in the
hands of the sheriff, but the plucky con-
gregation, through its lawyer and the
hard work Of its pastor, has been able
to save the church.
About two years ago the church, which
was q frame structure, was totally
/ destroyed by fire just after the people
had repaired it at a cost of several hum
dred dollars, leaving this debt unpaid,
which was aferward paid, and leaving
them without a church. For a time,
Through the kindness Of the Board Of
Public Education the congregation wor-
SHIPPED in a room of school No. 21.
The trustees began to raise funds with
which to build a new church. Having
raised a little money they began to build,
the work being almost completed about
year ago The building committee had
secured. as they thought a person who
would lend them the money to discharge
the contractors. but when the time came
TO place the mortgage there was finan-
cial hitch. thus leaving them in bad
way Since that time the congregation
had a great deal of trouble and worry
trying to get clear title to the prop
erty and placing the mortgage. Finally
friend has been found who has made
It possible for the church to place its
mortgage and save the church to the
congregation.
The Rev. r. Otho Parker, pastor, de-
sires TO thank the contractors and the
public for their assistance and cooper
alton, and adds: I'VE would be ingrates
not to be especially conscious of pro-
found gratitude to Daniel o. Hastings
the learned attorney, who has managed
the legal end of the case with profound
integrity and faithfulness and equity tc
