ALEXANDRIA,, Va, December 3, 1915.
I Services In church on rollers in the mid
die. of the street will be held by the con-
gregation of the Second Baptist Church
tomorrow. This is due to the fact that the
church is being transferred from Column
bus and Pendleton streets to a lot on Co.
lumbus street opposite the former site.
Following decision handed down to-
day by Justice L. H. Thompson the
church again was placed in motion The
work, however, was not begun until late
and before the 'edifice could reach its
destination darkness had set in. It was
decided not to attempt night work. The
faithful movers at dusk ceased their
iaoors for the day, leaving the edifice In
the middle of the street. Bright lights
on all sides of the church tonight warn
drivers and pedestrians of the obstruc-
ton.
No further trouble with the transfer
is anticipated by the church officials.
and the work Of moving will be COM
pleted Monday next.
