Churches in New Homes
OF the two churches composed of
colored citizens that were obliged to
seek new locations on account of the
extension of the Capitol Park. the
Wesley Union A. M. e. Zion Church
was the older. In fact, this organ
ization is one of the oldest church
esta blishments in Harrisburg, having
g. continuous history OF more than a
century. The early successful de-
velopment of Zion Church was
largely due to one of the greatest
ministers of the Wesley A. M. L. con-
nection. the Rev. David Stevens, a
man born and reraed in Harrisburg.
The congregation. which was founded
in 1916, was permanently located at
South and Tanner streets in 1899.
During the seventy-seven years of its
occupation of this site three church
buildings were erected, each larger
and more commodious than its prede-
cessor. Then, with the passing of the
old Eighth ward. a site was secured
at the intersection of Forster and
Ash streets where is located the
present commodious and ornate
church edifice of the Zion Church.
The other colored congregation
compelled to find a new home by the
Capitol Park extension, the Bethel
A. NJ. E., formerly located on State
street. is a close neighbor of the Zion
Church, its new and beautiful church
structure being located at the corner
of Briggs and Ash streets. Although
not quite as old as the Zion Church,
the Bethel congregation also has a
history running pack into the time
when Harrisburg was but an unpre-
tentious borough. AS early as 1855
it owned a building on Short street
which housed a congregation of con-
siderable size. -
Both the new churches mentioned
above are creditable buildings; and
both congregations, in their new
homes, as in the past, are doing a
great dork for the upbuilding Of the
Masters Kingdom and the improve
ment of the race amongst whom their
labors are specially directed
When the Bethel congregation oc-

By J. HOWARD VERT

The "Old Eighth ward" of Harris
burg has ceased to exist. The few
scattered buildings that serve as
landmarks of an area once throbbing
with a congested population are be-
ing demolished rapidly, or will be in
the very near future.
Although there were sections of
the Capitol Park zone that were
associated, in the years of the past,
with much that was unSaVory, yet in
the same area were some of the
city's prominent religious institutions
and a number of business enterprises
of more than local reputation. To
trace most briefly the present home
of these is the object of this series.
All the five churches of the section
have erected or are erecting new
edifices of worship in various parts of
the city, and all of these are an
ornament to tho sections in which
they are located.
st. Lawrence Catholic Church
The st. Lawrence congregation. or
ganized in 1859, and located from
1878 to the present time in a massive
and ornate church edifice at Walnut
street near Fifth. has secured ground
on State street near Front and there
has erected a church. not yet entirely
completed, which will be an orna-
ment to that section already char
acterized by several fine buildings for
the worship of God. The new church
of solid stone construction will be
in it's architectural outlines not dis
similar to the much admired Pine
Street Presbyterian Church.
st. Lawrence, in its old location,
had built up around it a parochial
school, a home for the Sisters of
Christian Charity. as we'll as the rec
tor. All of these have been located
in close contiguity TO the new build
ing.
The membership of st. Lawrence
can well rejoice in the success that

CAPITOL PARK ZONE TEENS
WITH HISTORIC ASSOCIATIONS

has marked their transfer to new
and most advantageous location. And
yet SO many fond and sacred memo
ries hover around the buildings
which was their spiritual home for
thirty-nine years that one can well
believe that some tears of regret will
intrusively swell as the towering
structure on Walnut street falls be-
meath the hands that are razing it to
memories will come to the older
members of the church than those
associated with that greta and good
man, Father Clemens A. Hopper
nagle; and VINO, for years, labored
on it with his own hands. He super
intended and directed everything,
whilst the ornate interior was all
his own. Day by day, for years,
alone and unassisred. he hewed and
carved until creations of rare beauty
stood forth beneath his mallet and
chisel
New Locations of Synagogucs
With the location in Harrisburg of
a thrifty and rapidly increasing He
brew population two synagogues
sprang up within the limits of the
Capitol Park extension zone. The
first organized of these was the con-
gregation Chisuk Emuna, which, in
1888, erected a frame synagogue on
Filbert street which in 1908 was re-
placed by massive brick structure.
The organization prospered from the
first and when its Filbert street site
was taken over by the State it pro-
ceeded to erect a new building at
Sixth and Forster streets, which is
an architectural beauty as to its ex-
terror, whist words cannot do justice
to the exquisite beauty of the in
terror finish. 1t must be seen to be
appreciated.
The other Jewish congregation of
the Old Eighth ward, Kesha Israel,
in 1902 had purchased a church
building already in existence at the
corner of Fourth and State streets.
The first church building erected on
this site had been used as a Lutheran
mission church as early as 1859.
Afterward the property was bought
by the Freewill Baptist congregation
headed by the talented Rev. James
Calder, D. D., and 1t was this build
ing that in 1902 became the property
of the Kesher Israel congregation.
Its membership are now engaged
in erecting a new spiritual home for
themselves on the southwest corner
Of Capital and Briggs streets. This
site had long been occupied by a

but in spite of all the French were
as resolute as ever.
'It depends very largely upon the

selves hang together we shall get
through to the end, despite our Rus
sian troubles.
"The Russians are an incalcula BILE
quantity: they fought when we least
expected them and they hung back
at times when it seemed they ought
to go on. My latest information is
that Russia will recover and become
as formidable as she ever has been"

Americas Cause for War.

THE new German policy swept ev.
cry restriction aside. Vessels of every
kind, whatever their flag, their char.
acter. their cargo, their destination,
their errand, have been ruthlessly
sent to the bottom without warning
and without thought of help or mercy
for those on board, the vessels OF
friendly neutrals along with those of
belligerents. Even hospital ships and
ships carrying relief to the sorely be.
reaved and stricken people of Bel
GUM, though the latter we're provided
with safe conduct through the pro.
scribed areas by the German govern.
ment itself and we're distinguished by
unmistakable marks of identity, have
been sunk with the same reckless lack
of compassion or of principle.
II am not now thinking of the loss
of property involved, immense and
serious as that is, but only of the wan
ton and wholesale destruction of the
lives Of noncombatants, men, women
and children, engaged in pursuits
which have always, even in the dark
est periods of modern history, been
deemed innocent and legitimate. Prop
erty can be paid for; the lives OF
peaceful and innocent people can not
be. The present German submarine
warfare against commerce is a war
fare against mankind" - Woodrow
Wilson. President of the United
States.
