More Than $4,000 Collected.
More than $4,000 has already
been raised through preliminary
drive among the 1,500 Chinese peo-
pie OF Washington. The coming
drive will be city-wide.
The present Chinese congregation
is an outgrowth of Sunday School
classes held in different churches
throughout the city. First of these
was at the Metropolitan Memorial
Methodist Church in 1889. About 18
people attended the initial organi-
zation of this class. DR.. Bristol, q
Methodist minister, taught the
group. The class originally met at
Fourth street and John Marshall
place NV.
Subsequently, Sunday School
classes were formed at Calvary Bap-
tist Church and Episcopal Church
OF the Ascension, in 1890; at the
Gospel Mission in 1903 and at Mount
Vernon Place Methodist Church
and the Church of the Brethren in
1923.
Ellis S. Lewis, an employe of Wood
ward & Lothrop, has been associated
with the committee helping these
schools and with the church since
January, 1898. He has served as
secretary of the Methodist Sunday
School group since 1915. Other
members of the committee were Mr..
and Mrs. Baker, Miss Taylor, Miss
frankie Knibb and Miss Lillian
Carr.
First superintendent of the 1889
group was Miss Sommers with Mr..
Pond serving as assistant super
lntendent. Miss M. White was a
prime mover in the organization of
this class.
Formation Of Chinese Com
munity Church was first considered
on May 5, 1882, at meeting in the
YMCA. Three years later, in June
the church was organized. DR.. PAX
