Large Growth Of Local
First Christian Church
Membership Growth Of From $50 to
1900 In Twelve Years Praised
by Cincinnati Religious
Publication.

In this weeks issue of the Christian
Standard, a church paper published in
Cincinnati, the entire front page OF
the copy is devoted 10 all article com
menting on the wonderful growth OF
the Wheeling First Christian church.
1t is stated that the local church has
increased from a membership Of l50
In 1905 to a membership Of $500 up to
date.
Rev. ". H. Fields; the present pas
tor of the church, was also in the pull
pit in 1905. The history Of the growth
Of the church Is the history Of Rev.
Fields, although he modestly dis
claims any credit. He places the full
credit on the Bible school and to the
splendid working force of officers and
teachers.
The Bible school has also grown
wonderfully since 1905. Not long af.
ter the coming Of the new preacher.
the old church was filed at every
meeting of the Bible class BY 1912
the church and Bible school had
grown so that 1t was necessary 10
build a new church. On October ~,
1913, the new $4,000 edlfce was dedi-
Gated.
The history Of the Wheeling work
has been an honorable one. Charles
Ensell and Father" Mckay, as he was
Familiarity called, led the first efforts
Of establishing the congregation in
1892 The first building, now used
as a dwelling, was dedicated by Alex
ander Campbell, in 1855 The first
regular minister. was Jabez Hall, now
dean Of Butler College. And the mem
bers. Of the church believe that the
days Of growth for the First Christian
church have not passed.
