Carondelet street, and for many
years fiourished in the building
which is now the Scottish Rite Ca
thedral. The congregation again
moved, this time to the present
splendid building on st. Charles ave-
nue., just above Lee Circle. This
church is now known as First Meth
odist Church. It has always been
regarded as the mother church OF
Methodism in New Orleans.
Moreau Street Church was later
merged with another church in the
section below Canal street, and is
now known as Second Methodist
Church.
Felicity Church has passed through
many vicissitudes, having suffered
the loss of the building by fire many
years ago. The later building was
almost demolished by the great
storm of 1915, but was restored.
About 1875 the st. Charles Avenue
Church was established at the cor

the excitement attendant upon the
fact that the fleet and army of PAX
enham were then beleaguring the
city, broke up the work entirely.
New Orleans then disappeared
from the Conference roll until 1919,
when Mark Moore served for a year
as teacher and preacher.
He was succeeded by John Meme
fee, who died of yellow fever, and
was buried in the city.
In 1925 another young Kentuckian
was sent to New Orleans-Benjamin
Drake. He remained through the
following year and reported that
year twenty-three white and sixty
colored members of the Methodist
Church. From that year the Meth
odist Church has stood its ground
in the city of New Orleans and
vicinity.
Among the oldest churches in the
city was the Poydras Street Church.

Notes About the Building

The type of Architecture chosen Is
an adaptation Of various phases OF
Colonial and Classic to meet modern
requirements. These styles are
very pleasing to the eye as well as
being an appropriate expression OF
mans sense of dependence upon the
Infinite and Eternal Being.
This building combines the three
essentials of a good church building;
utility. stability and beauty, ana
win be a fit expression in q fixed
form of this congregations love ana
loyalty to God.
The plan provides comfortably for
a congregation of four hundred
(4oo) with separate Departments
for the Beginners, Primaries, Juniors
and Intermediates. The Seniors
Young People and Adults WIN use
the auditorium for Sunday School,
assembly. Provision is made TOT
each Department to be conducted
as a School to itself; having facii-
tiles for separate opening and clos
ing exercises.
The Auditorium is 5ox3s feet IN
size and has q seating capacity In
Guiding class rooms IN frone ano
choir of approximately $50 counting
the regular proportion of children
The entire Sunday school VIII use
the Auditorium for assembly, On
special occasions.

ner of the avenue and General Tay-
lor street. The same imposing build
ing still stands on that location. The
first pastor was one OF the most
brilliant preachers the country has
produced-Dr. w. E. Munsey. This
church is now known as Rayne Mem
orial Church.
Among the other churches Of the
city may be mentioned Algiers, Lou
isiana Avenue, Parker Memorial.
Carrollton Avenue, and Epworth.
Since the early days the Methodist
Church in New Orleans has been
served by number of the ablest
men the Methodist Church has had.
Several OF the former pastors in New
Orleans became bishops in the
church, and for many years New
Orleans was the residence of Bishop
John c. Keener.
One Of the great Institutions of the
church in the city is the New Or
leans Christian Advocate, which has
been published for many years in a
building owned by the church at 512
Camp street. Some of the most
brilliant men of the church have
served as editors. The present edi-
tor is Rev. Henry T. Carley, d. ID.
The Methodist Church maintains a
mission for foreign-speaking peoples
on Esplanade avenue. which work is
to be greatly enlarged at a cost OF
more than 100000. and also a mis-
sion on Tchoupitoulas street-Mary
Werlein Mission, and the Memorial
Home for Young Women.
From small beginning, the Meth
odist Church has grown to be grea
power in the city, and its leaders
look forward to greater growth II
the future.
THE CHURCH IN ALGIERS
The following data is taken from
the old church minute book:
The history of the Methods
Church in Algiers Is contemporane
Gus with an important epoch in tn
annals of Methodism in America
The building OF the Good Hop
Chapel at the head OF Delarond
street, which site is now covere
with sixty to eighty feet OF waite
and over 300 feet from the presen
line Of levee, was concurrent wit
the separation OF Methodism int
two branches, the NJ. E. Churc
North and the NJ. z. Church, Soutf
the latter OF which the Algiers churc
naturally became and has continue
a part to the present time. Thi
separation took place at the gener'
conference held in New York in 1874
in which year the Good Hope Chap
was erected and dedicated to th
worship Of Almighty God.
