BIZ Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, June 10-Not-
withstanding the unpleasant weather
so far. unexpected congregations have
been present at the opening services
of the twenty-ffth anniversary of the
NJ. T.. church of this city. on Sunday
the services were held as scheduled
the Sunday evening service being es-
pecially well attended. At this time
the people were addressed by Rev. j.
ID. Bills, the present district superin-
tendent. Last evening In the absence
of Rev. II. j.. Zelley who was sched-
uled to speak, Rev. Wilbert West
colt. pastor of the Simpson NJ. T..
church of Perth Amboy, delivered the
sermon. Rev. Mr.. Zelley. who has at
tanned old age, was unable to be pres
ent owing TO a general physical
breakdown. He has been ordered by
his physician to retire for the present.
The following brief history has been
compiled by the present pastor by
records of the church and will be of
interest to all.
Prior to 1855. the Methodist Epis-
copal Society of South Anboy form
ed a part of Middlesex Mission, Tren-
ton District, New Jersey Conference.
At hat date the Mission consisted of
(South Rivera South Amboy, Jack
s%onville. Fishers School (Sayreville),
Old Bridge and S~potswood.
Through the courtesy of Mrs. Maria
Stevens the society worshiped in Ste
vens chapel on Main street, which is
now used by the Episcopal church for
their parish school. During the
month of December, 1853, under the
ministry of Rev. John II. Stockton, the
society was blessed with a revival, in
which thirty persons were converted.
This revival made it possible to build
a church in this city. Ground was
broken for the first church on Broad
way June 8, 1854. The cornerstone
was laid June %, 1854, and dedicated
Thursday November 16. 1854, by
Bishop i. S. james D. D., Ii. ID.
In 1855 the church became an APP
pointment bearing the name in the
conference minutes of South Amboy
with Jacksonville attached. In 1863
1t was set off as a separate appoint
ment. During the p~astorate of the
Rev. II. J. Zelley it was decided TO
build a new church and parsonage.
This was in 1898.
During the p~astorate of Rev. j. G.,
Edwards the new church was built.
ing was laid on November 6, 1894, by
the presiding elder, Rev. w. p. c.
Strickland. The church was dedi-
Gated on April 21st, by Bishop Cyris
ID. Foss. The cost of the building, in
Guiding the ground was $500. The
building committee was as follows:
Rev. j. G.. Edwards. A. G. Bolton
Frank Fenton. William Thompson and
Joseph Kugler.
During the month of October, 1918,
the building was badly damaged by
the Morgan explosion. The official
board appointed the following COM
mittee to have the building repaired
and make some needed improve
ments: r. c. Stephenson, l.. S. Ma
son and L. NJ. Stratton. The work has
been well done, thanks to the efforts
of ar efficient committee.
