As Mr.. Norris escorted The Visitor over
the grounds and the new gymnasium,
discovered that every member must have
worked overtime to accomplish such won

The gymnasium is the last word in the
modern conception of such a building. 1t
has a large floor upon which large crowds
may view basket ball and velley ball
games. 1t is well lighted and ventilated.
1t can easily be turned into a banquet
hall, accommodating nearly 400 people.
1t has a stage with an indirect lighting
system. There also is a large kitchen.
Shower baths also have been installed.
Until the church building proper is
constructed, the gym is being used for
religious services of Sunday. Howard

The story of the growth of this
church is very interesting" the Rev. Mr..
Morris, the present pastor, said. 1T
started about ten years ago as a little
Sunday school in a building now used
as grocery. 1t started as a mission OF
the Tuxedo Park Baptist Church of
which the Rev. U. s. Clutton is pastor.
It grew until a little mission house was
built on the corner. For three years,
my father the Rev. W. E. Morris, who
is now ILL., worked as cashier in the Irv-
ington State Bank and twice a week
preached in the chapel"
AS he pointed to the fine modern gym
nasium and community house which has
tust been erected as the first unit of
the great plant. Mt. Morris said, This
was fathers great dream. We are now
carrying out the plans he made with the
wonderful aid of the people. Three lots
were purchased with the idea Of building
an institution to meet all needs of the
people.
Last October third call was given t.
me by the congregation Of the Emerson
Avenue Church. My father was i'll and
decided to come here and take his
place. So I came from Michigan in Oc-
tober. We then had only 125 members
and now we have 1913 and by Easter we
VIII have a total membership Of $50

"Our Sunday school now has an at
tendance Of nearly three hundred. We
even have to use the kitchen and every
Sunday there are about ninety eight
youngsters stacked into the room like
sardines. People from all denominations

Ry THE VISITOR.

With a humble beginning in a lit
tie building which is now used as a
neighGorhood grocery, the Emerson
Avenue Baptist Sunday school has
grown in.o a quarter of a block insti-
tuition with its influences extending
over a wide area.
This miracle in church building
and development has happened in
about ten years time. From Sun
day school it became a mission, then
a chapel at the corner of Emerson
avenue and New York street. Today
part of a 100000 modern church,
community center and church build
ing with a Sunday school plant Is
completed and the remainder under
course of construction.
A $4,000 gymnasium and community
house has been completed, 1t being
opened over a week ago by a community
banquet cooked by John z. Stone, who is
with the Merchants Heat and Light Com
pany, and served by the men of the
church TO more than 800 men, women and
children OF the church and community.
For weeks The Visitor has been hearing
great deal about the work the Rev.
Paul Judson Morris, pastor of the Emer-
son Avenue Baptist Church, and his con-
gregation has been doing, that l made

a modern separate building. That's its
great advantage.
Ground has been broken for Sunday
school and educational building. This
building will be two stories In height and
will contain many classrOoms for Sun
day school use and parlors for various
purposes.
There will be a parlor for the women
of the church and the community. 1t
will be beautifully furnished and kitch-
enette will be built so that tea and
light refreshments may be served dur
ing the week day affairs.
The Sunday school plant will include
thirty individual Sunday school rooms.
These rooms will be built to accommo-
date various ages. For instance, the
primary department will be a wee little
room with low ceiling, a baby fireplace,
small chairs and the like. In this part
of the building will be an auditorium
big meeting room. The second moor
will be q duplication Of the first floor.
