Thursday night was highlighted by a picnic supper at Babb's Beach, Lake Congamond, which the employees of the Civilian Person nel Office held in honor of their officer and his wife, It. and Mrs. E. A. Kjorlie. The party was also given as farewell to Helen Will braham who is leaving the end of the month Helen has been with us for a long time and would have celebrated her third anniversary in August. We wish her the best of luck.

South. DR., Balch later began an
association lasting until his death
SO years later.
The pastor first met with his
group in a small log building, which
stood on the site now occupied by
Georgetown Lutheran Church at
Wisconsin avenue and Volta place
NV. A short time later room
was rented in a frame house on
Thirty-third street above Volta
place. Here they stayed two years,
moving to a small structure they
had built on Bridge street tnoW
M street, and Washington street
now Thirtieth street,. Church
records show only seven persons sat
at the first communion table,
Among those contributing to the
erection of this edifice was Thomas
jefferson, then Vice President.
The growing community and con-
gregation resulted in 1921 in the
replacement of the structure by a
larger building. The church now
became generally known as the
Bridge Street Church" Twelve
years later DR.. Balch, at the age
of 81. died On the day of his
funeral the business houses in
Georgetown closed and the streets
we're draped in mourning. The
aldermen and Common Council at
tended the funeral in a body, and
a great and good man was followed
to his grave by citizens of all faiths.
Among his many activities was his
help in organizing Georgetown Uni
Versity.
DR.. Balch was succeeded by the
Rev. John C. Smith, who served as
the formers co-pastor the last few
years. Mr.. Smith remained until
1888. leaving to become pastor of
Fourth Presbyterian Church of
Washington.
During the Civil War the church
was taken over by the Army as a
hospital. The congregation wor-
shipped on alternate Sundays at the
Methodist Church on Congress
street NV.
In 1866 r. S. T. Cissel built a
chapel on West street (noW P
street, near Thirty first street, the
present church site. Five years
later the rest of the property was
acquired, and in 1879 the present
building at 31l5 P street NV. was
dedicated. 1t contains stones from
the old Bridge street structure. and
the old church bell was placed in
the tower and still summons wor-
shippers to service. The Rev. DR..
H. S. Howe was pastor at the time.
The church was then called the
West Street Church. When the
street name was changed to M
street subsequently the church
name became Georgetown Church.
The year 1908 brought another
pastor. He is the present pastor
emeritus, the Rev. DR.. James T..
Marshall, who headed the church
until his retirement in 1929. DR.
j. B. Kelly, current pastor, said
