Avenue Presbyterian Church. But progress,
or lack OF funds, or some other pressing cause
made them all move on again, and the COM
bined congregation moved around the corner
to the Greenwich Presbyterian Church. where.
as the fairy tales say, they lived happy ever
after. thriving express business Is located
on the site of the Seventh Avenue Presbyterian
Church and an apartment house, bristling with
fire escapes and shining with many windows

old Twelfth Street Church stood.
In spite of being SO hospitable and IN snite
of having SO many new members, the former
glory of the old Metropolitan Temple la a bit
dinlined. In former times the Rev. s. parkes
Cadman filed the big auditorium 10 overflow

"The Church Of the Open Door" 1t was liter
ally that From Monday till Sunday it's lights
shone out, and every night In the week found
its doors flung wide for some meeting-~a
prayer nesting, q concert, g lecture--and
crowds thronged through the hospitable doors.
Then later came the Rev. John Wesley Hill,
mixing politics with his preaching and pray
ers and jamnaing the pews Sundays and week
nights with an eager congregation which was
never quite decided whether to be pleased or
shocked at the ultra-modern policy of their
shepherd. But the march Of events is closing
in on the church now, and it stands, a bit
tarnished, little forlorn, but still brave and
undaunted, amid the Office buildings and COM
mercial houses which are crowding it out.
Then there were our tradespeoplel No here
to-day and gone to-morrow about them. We
knew them and trusted them and held them
strictly to account for the quality Of the serv~
