without financial aid. house was rent
ed and fitted up for its use. By summer |
time enough Of a congregation was gath |
cred to warrant the building OF a chapel. |
This was erected and opened last octo-
Der. on Cathedral avenue. a few rods
east of Connecticut avenue, at a cost OF
something over 81. 800; OF this $3.50 remains
to be paid. The work has been self |
supporting. and has grown with great
rspidity. But the lot is held subject to
thirty days notice TO vacate. 1t Is |
felt that the project has passed beyond !

lions attend the services; seventy-five or |
more families have connected themselves |
with the mission; there is Sunday |
school of thirty-five scholars.
Bishop Harding warmly commends the |
work being done at All Souls. He says. |
II very earnestly commend the appeal |
Of the Rev. DR.. Sterrett for aid to secure. |
before IL is too late, lot for the future |
building of a church in woodley Park. |
DIR. Sterrett has for a year gathered to- |
gether the nucleus OF a good congrega-
tion in the temporary church. which is |
placed on a lot borrowed for the time be- |
ing. and which they may have to vacate /
at any moment. The congregation has |
had all it could do to buy and pay for |
the temporary church, and it i quite
remarkable what has been done. DIR. |
Sterrett gives his services absolutely TO /
the work. and feel that II is not going /
to be worth while unless We can get at /
once a permanent location"
