Congregation Will Move

The congregation of the Third
Christian Church, it was announced
yesterday, Is leaving its old home
at Sixth and H streets S.W. anc
moving to the Wisconsin Avenue
Baptist Church, Forty-second and
Fessenden streets NV. The first
service in the new location Is sched-
uled for pm. next Sunday.
AS explained by the Rev. Robert
L. Whittenburg, pastor since seven
months ago, the decision to give up
the building, began in 1914 and com.
pleted in 1920, was reached only
when it became apparent that the
members of the congregation had
moved SO far from their church that
they found it a hardship to travel
the intervening distances. I'VE 60
where our people are" he said. THAT
Is our duty, and we must do it."
But Mr. Whittenburg added: 1T
is with great sorrow that we part
with this place in which we have
so many sacred memories"
1t Is understood that the building
Of the Third Christian Church will
be taken over by a colored con-
gregation.
