The Bronx, New York,s famous res
idential section, has homemade
church. 1t began life as saloon in
the period antedating the year 1, A. v.
(ante Volstead). Then followed a
spell as billiard parlor. Rev. A. V.
Vos, an Episcopal clergyman, next
appeared upon the scene. He rented
the ex-saloon, organized congrega-
tion, and with big shoe-case for an
altar and dozen rude benches for the
accommodation of his flock, which in
cluded Germans, Italians, Hungarians,
Irish and Americans, the initial serv-
Ice was held. In course Of time the
little congregation increased to about
fifty, bought the place. paid off the
debt in sums of $15 and $40 at a time
and at length laid aside reserve
fund. And this is what they did with 1t :
Including in their number carpen-
ters, bricklayers, cement workers,
electricians, etc., they had a church
meeting, parceled out the work
among themselves, and on the night
Of December 8 last they began tear
ing out the front Of the building
Each night thereafter as soon as sup
per was disposed of, the volunteer
workers got back on the job and by
working every night save Sunday
sometimes well into the morning
they have succeeded In making over
the place into pretty little concrete
edifice of the old Spanish mission type.
1t includes not only the chapel proper,
but a dining hall, social hall, kitchen,
etc. Rev. Mr.. Voss says: ut isn't
cathedral, but to us It is the finest
church building In the world because
we have reared 1t with our own
hands, Plans are being formed for
the conservation of the building by
Bishop Manning at an early date.
