the first payment. The church build

FORTY-NINE YEARS OF PROG
RESS IN ST. JAMES CHURCH

Almost fifty years ago band of
Christian men and women gathered
in the basement occupied by Hamilton
Giles on Bridge Square," and Or
ganized what is known today as St.
James A. M. E. Church; the first
church organization at that time was
formed by Rev. j. R. Marley. Those
present were Mesdames Addie Henry,
Belle Smith, Annie Moffitt, Mary Nc
Claim, Mr.. and Mrs. T. H. Lyles,
Messrs, Daniel Harding, Hamilton
Giles, Jesse Armstrong and James
Henry. Many of this number have
long since departed for their Heaven
ly home, the only remaining ones are
Mrs. Addie Bellesen, Mrs. T. H.
Lyles, Mrs. Annie Moffitt and Rev.
Daniel Harding, all of whom reside
in this city and are faithful men,
bers.
Meetings were held for two or
three successive Sundays, after which
a building was secured on the cor
ner of Fourth and Franklin, street.
Rev. Marley remained until the end
of the annual conference; on &C
count, of inadequate support he did
not return. The next pastor, Rev.
Lee, remained barely a year.
With lots of well wishes, but not

enough to properly support a mini.
ster, and after struggling for a year
and half, the members were forced
to abandon their present quarters
and work in that direction.
Rev. Simons Called.
In the spring of 1878 the confer
ence sent Rev. Henry Simons to see
what could be done in the way of re-
establishing the church.
After making another attempt,
meetings were held in the rooms OF
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, corner Fifth and Wabasha
Numbers increased, and the base.
ment of the Odd Fellows block was
then used. A neat little chapel was
fitted up by Brothers Daniel Harding
and Thos. H. Lyles; the walls were
newly decorated; a new carpet COW
cred the entire floor, four dozen new
chairs, pulpit, Bible and Bible
stand were put in and the first organ
was purchased. Mrs. T. H. Lyles
formed the original choir and became
the first organist, serving several
years.
Rev. Simons remained until con-
ference convened in the summer of
1879. He was succeeded by Rev.
VIM. Brown in the same year.
The place of worship was again
moved to East Seventh street. Rev.
Asbury followed in 1880, then in

Church Building Purchased.

The church building at Tenth and
Cedar street, formerly owned by the
Jewish Church Society, was bought
for the sum of $500. Mrs. Ella Ber-
ry and Mrs. Ed. Morgan raised the
first 500 applied to the purchase.
Among the early and earnest work.
ers were: Messrs. and Mesdames j.
X. Hilyard, A. Bragg, c. Walden, I.
Evans, E. Morgan, Chas. Lazenberry,
w. Queen, Mesdames James Ban
mister, w. Liggins, George Hall, A.
Towns, Mr.. Richmond Taylor and
others. Later Mr.. Lyle purchased
the ground on which this building
stood, and the church was forced to
secure a lot for the church building
elsewhere.
In 1881, Lot IL, Block 4, Elicit,
Berheim and Arnold's Addition, at
Fuller and Jay street was purchased
from Philip Riley for $1,000. Rev.
Daniel Harding advanced $3.50 for

raised $4,000 as a building fund
which was applied on the new par
sonage. During his pastorate he
raised approximately from $4,000
to $4,000 for church purposes which
certainly was the most successful
financial work ever done in the his
tory of the church organization.
Rev. George w. Gaines came next
