Conclusion.

/ Today this congregation is not as
strong, | verify believe, as it was /
hundred years ago. Numerous meal
berS were taken from it when the di-
vision over slavery in the church oc-
cured in 1S49, and later in 1865 when
the Southern Church across the ROAD
was built. In spite of this blow i
has struggled on, serving humanity,
helping to bring up God fearing men
and women, who have done their duty
in life and unheralded, have sought
their last resting rl""e beside it.
What of the future? To me it is
bright, for l see the Church growing
stronger each year. l can see the
school for boys increasing in size.
and those boys attending this church.
can see them inspired by its his
tory, by the atmosphere of sanctity
it throws around them, by the lessons
it teaches. going forth to do their
work in the world. l can see your
congregation increasing, and | pro-
phesy that in but a few years Wesley
/ Chapel will come back to its pristine
glory and strength.
4 And oh, what a lesson we learn
from this brief review of what has
been done. We have seen the names
of men prominent in this locality one
hundred and fifty, and one hundred
years ago, pass away and others sue
coed them. No record has been ke1t
of their deeds and no evidence Of
their work, save this old church
What better record, however could
they have, for is it not proof that
they were an exceptional body CT
solid, plain, substantial God fearing
men with foresight and judgment?
Architecture has been called frozen
music" but is not this the wrong
term? Is it not rather stone EN-
bondiment of peoples genius, grand
hieroglyphic which when rightly de-
ciphered reveals the spirit in which
people thinks and works? Viewed N
this light, does not this church in IS
stability, in its chaste and rugged
lines, in its plain and solid structur...
depict the character of men who
formed the Methodist Episcopal
Church in 1884 and make it great to-
day?
And we should take to heart the
lesson it teaches. Most of us in
these trying times are so centered ia

been forty-five preachers in charge,
and SO junior preachers from 1922 to
1908, when the circuit was divided
and since then 6, in all. 1O4, a list ii

hereto attached appendix b. |
can not speak Of them, all bat
would call attention to a few, The
early ones who have passed to we'll
earned rest, for their standing and
ability show the esteem in which this
congregation was held.
Job Guest, who entered the Con-
ference in 1906 was the first preacher
assigned to this church. His ser
vices for fifty years carried him from
Baltimore to the Great Lakes and he
had great success in winning souls TO
Christ. Possessed of more than ordi~
nary talents, he was fine example
of Gods servant and the Christian
gentleman. That a man of his posi-
ton was here in the fullness of his
strength shows the standing and
power of the members of this church
at that early day.
Henry Slicer, who served here in
1881 was a foremost member of the
church and his influence was felt
throughout Virginia and Maryland.
He was the Chaplin of Congress. for
seven sessions and an influential
member of Eight General Confe"-
ences. For fifty-two years he served
Christ actively and was recognize l
rs one of Methodism's greatest
leaders.
Richard Brown first served in 1887
and 3S. He was the celebrated camp
meeting manager and Steward of the
Conference for Il years. His stirling
loyalty and sincerity drew to him
friends who. not only admired, but
loved him. He was faithful and
self sacrificing follower of Christ,
spending an ample private fortune in
showing men the way to Salvation
Nine years later he was returned. no
doubt to combat the schism in the
church. over slavery. which must have
been strong here, ana served for two
years. He came back again in 1850
and 1856. How he must have been
loved,
Thomas B. Sargent, a son of the
celebrated Rev. Thomas F. Sargent
the dear friend of Bishop Asbury was
a junior preacher in 1897. He began
his ministry in 1925 at the age Of IS
years. Right after leaving Wesley
Chapel he went to Europe as the
travelling companion of Bishop
Soule. His gifts were exceptional,
his pulpit power never declined, and
as long as he could travel. in every
part of the country, even in Canada,
he ceased not to preach Jesus Christ.
| would like to tell of other celG-
brated men who have served as
hut must stop. Even from this brief
recital of their merits, can you doubt
for a moment how strong and good
this church was when men of the type
| have mentioned served here? Must
it not have been one of the most
powerful in the old Baltimore Cir
cult?

century passed into the hands of hun
dreds of men and women with a fixed
purpose in mind, the building of homes.
These auctions were soon followed by
the sale of the Turnbuli, Brinsmade
Wissmann and Ebling estates to buy
crs who since have built more than
five hundred all year homes and bunga-
lows.
The sale of the Morris estate will
open up to development that section of
Throg's Neck lying just beyond Dewey
Avenue and the intersection of East
fremont Avenue and East I77th Street
and extending to the East River at
the entrance to Long Island Sound.
The Morris estate water frontage is
unique, in so far as the lots to be sold
are not separated from the water by a
shore drive or any other form of thor
oughfare, but front directly on the
water and have valuable riparian rights
extending, in some cases, into the East
River for a distance of about HOO
feet. The purchasers of these water
front lots have the right to fill in up
to the bulkhead line already estab-
lished.
At the same time and place Mr.. Day
will sell six new frame dwellings never
occupied, directly opposite the Morris
estate, in Sampson and Logan ave-
nues and Nigel Place. These six dwell
ings are to be sold for the stoekhold-
ers of the Fort Schuyler Company
Inc, with immediate possession.

Needle Workers
Are Pushing New
Center Far to Wesi
A. E. Lefcourt Says Garment
District Will Reach to
Eighth Avenue; Many
Leaving Fifth Ave. Zoning

A. E. Lsfcourt, cloak and suit maker
and builder of modern factories, is of
the opinion that the day is near at
hand when the garment manufacturing
trades will be located as far west as
Eighth Avenue, between Thirty fifth
and Thirty-nnth. streets, and that be-
fore the end of this year the newly
erected buildings and those now in
course of construction in the section
will be filled Mr.. Lefcourt was the
first in the cloak and suit trade to sense
the new district for the making of
ready-to-wear clothing, and has been a
consistent advocate of the removal of
the needle trades from the retail store
section of the metropolis.
In 1912 Mr.. Lefcourt erected his own
building on West Thirty Street,
and close by are the garment center
buildings. He now has in course of
construction two sixteen-story build
ings, one at 237-239 West Thirty-sev-
enth Street and the other at 246-250
West Thirty-eighth Street.
I'VE have received number of in
quiries regarding space in these new
buildings from manufacturers of wo-
mems apparel now located east of
Fifth Avenue and ON the side streets
east OF Broadway" said Mr. Lefcourt.
These inquiries are clearly indicative
| of the interest manifested in the new
and permanent Seventh Avenue district,
and there is no doubt in my mind but
| that all manufacturers will eventually
realize the desirable features of MAX
| ing their business home in neighbor-
hood convenient and attractive for Wis
ting buyers
Judging from the number of leases
which expire in the Fifth Avenue and
Madison Avenue districts at Che end of
this year there will be dearth of
space in the Seventh Avenue district
| for those who want to locate on the
West Side, Fortunately a number of
new buildings are to be erected next
year, and / would not be surprised il
