delivered by Hon. D. Hamilton
Jackson on the occasion Of the lay
ing Of the corner stone of the
Bethel A. NJ. 3. Church, Chris
tiansted, St. Croix. V.L.U.S.A.
Dec. II, 1925.
HONORABLE DEsPATCHING SECRETARY,
MEMBERS OF THE CLERGY. FELLOW
AMERICAN CITIZENS, AND FRIENDS,

AMERICAN CITIZENS, AND FRIENDS,
We are gathered here today on this
solemn occasion to witness and take part
in the laying of the corner stone of this
building whose tower will presently point
toward the sky as a symbol of promise
and a sublime inspiration to the cOngre-
cation which shall worship here, and as
a spire of hope to the people of African
descent.
In the infinite wisdom Of a Great Pro-
violence this event has been necessarily
delayed. 1t is better that it were So.
Truly it may be said that the darkest
hour is before the dawn. And surely
the dawn is at hand for the cong"ega-
ton of this church. Their night of ter
ror and tribulation is almost DER, and
the dim Pickering Of the rising sun Of
their joys is seen on the lurid horizon be-
yond.
The struggle of these humble folks to
raise a building where they may hence
forth worship God under their own wire
and tigtree" and according to the glOri-
Gus tr? 1itiOns of Methodism has its paral-
lei in Tie early struggles of the founders
of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church on the mainland and in fact, all
brave pioneers Of religious freedom.
Not for US to narrate here the events
that marked the founding Of that great
religious body whose influence has spread
from the Atlantic seabOard to the Paci-
fc coast; from the Great Lakes to the
Mexican border; acr oss the African Con-
tinent, and in the islands of the seas.
Not for US who are assembled here 10
laud the great and valient men who fell
in the struggles for religious emancipa-
ton of a despiscd people; but rather 1T
US examine ourselves and see in how
far we have contributed to, or retarded,
this great movement for liberty of con
science. The still small voice within will
speak the answe
The African Methodist Episcopal faith
is no new religion as some declare. Over
a century ago. in the year 1893, the in
trepid Richard Allen conceived the idea
of branching out from the Methodist
Church. an organization ruled and gov
erned by an alien race. 1t was a glorious
plan, the thought. germ from which has
sprung the vastness of this admirable in
stitution. Founded by an American on A
m~ericanssoil, at a time when our country
was struggling for existence as a sover.
eign nation, the African Methodist Episco-
pal Church has never failed to uphold the
righteous principles upon which the

BOARD AT ODDS ON
 BUILDING PERMIT
Stands 2 to 2 on Pennington
 Avenue Siy.Family Block

The building commission was d"adlockcd at hearing held last night on the granting of 6 permit 10 William Dohrowolski to build a six tenement brick house on Farming. ton avenue. The vote was tabulated with Commissioners John ], Walsh and ]. w. Barry in favor of granting the permit and Chairman k. E.. Niets and Commissioner II. C. War ner opposing, Commissioner Thomas Firth was not present and his vote will decide the issue.
 The hearing vas featured by clashes between two of the remon- stran's against the granting of the permit and Lawyer Joseph c. Woods representing DobroWolski Bernard MO(fitt and J, C. Hwick, two of the property owners in the district, ob- iected to Lawyer Woods method Of cross examination.
 Mir. Moffitt asked the lawyer if he wanted him 10 bring in his birth certificate when he was asked how long he lived on Pennington ave- nue. Mir. Moffitt stated that he had lived there all his life, and Lawyer Woods asked him how long that meant. When asked what kind of 2 house he lives in. MT. Moffitt re- piled "a wooden one" He refused to answer any further questions. Lawyer Woods told him 10 answer questions and not to argue and Moffitt retorted that he would not
 answer any more questions, Mir
New Britain herald., 1925-07-02

Awick objected 10 answering ques. tons by Mir. Woods because he did not know why the lawyer was talk ing part in the meeting, Mir. Woods then told him he was representing MT. Dobrowoski.
 The map prepared and drawn by the city engineering department showed 4s pieces of property within q radius of 500 feet of the proposed location Of the six tenement house To have the required 75 per cent opposition specified in the ordinance. there should have been 34ls votes against tho grant of the permit There were only 27 present in per son and by proxy.
 A year ago MT. Zwick and Mir. Dobrowolskt signed remonstrances against three tenement houses and stores in the neighborhood,
 commissioner Warner asked Building Inspector Hennessy fl he favored granting the permit and Mir, Hennessy said he did not because a six-tenement brick building on s street where there are only three tenement wooden houses would be detrimental 10 the surrounding pro perty. Commissioner Barry said Mir. Sinsk has a bungalow directly across the street from the proposed location and the yard Is used as a dump for decaying fruit and vege- tables from Sinskrs store. He felt that tho ncighbors would rather have q brick building near them than fruit and vegetable dump.
 The board will probably meet next l week 10 take action in the matter.

 architectural ambition which led to the construction of heavy brick towers adjacent 10 a large open TO- tunda across which there was no adequate bracing, The brick walls at the back also fell out because they were not tied to the frame,
 The review of the damage done Tn conspicuous cases shows what the general causes of loss were. I1n- fortunately they are not confined 10 santa Barbara nor even to Cali fornia, The fundampntal cause of earthquake damage is the general neglect of the precautions necessary 10 insure ourselves against it. Where the ground Is of such character that the vibrations are bound to be dangerous, we may protect our selves by sinking foundations ten feet or more, constructing the foundation walls with wide foot ings, or putting the structure on a reinforced slab, so that it will move as unit.
 "The responsibility really comes back to technical men and public opinion, If the engineers and archi- tects had insisted on adequate building laws embodied in g proper code of regulations. and If public opinion had supported the officials in a rigid enforcement of the rules of good construction. this moderate y severe earthquake would have passed simply as an interesting ex- pcrience. In connection with earth quakes il is absolutely true that we live as we build"
