year ago today. July is, 1914.
You fought life's battles bravely
And patiently stood every test;
Yog will always be loved and remembered
Because you were one OF the best.
Often we sit and talk of you
And think Of how you died,
To know you could not say eood-by
Before you closed your eyes.
Our hearts still ache with sadness,
And God only knows how we miss you
At the end of one long year.
But God is good. He gives US strength
To bear our heavy cross;
He is the only one who knows
THE FAMILY.

:. And are free from care ana PAIN
If we could have you back again.

We loved you, but God loved you best.

Sept. 1, the congregation will be
merged with the all-Negro congre-

Calvary has a history dating
back to 1916, when it was started
in an old sail left on the Delaware
river waterfront. Subsequently, the
church was erected at another
waterfront location. Seventy-three
years ago the church was removed
stone by stone from it's waterfront
location and rebuilt at it's present
site.
The present authorities of the
church might have sold their prop

new neighborhood.
But, they said, "facing the situa-
