met the needs of the congregation
for more than fifty years, but in
1843 the people felt that a new
church was badly needed. The two
blocks of pews reaching from the
one aisle to the walk were hardly
enough to accommodate the con-
gregation, and stoves cluttered
aisles, the walls were upholstered,
the floors uncarpeted and the high
gallary where the colored slaves
sat was inadequate. They had a
large congregation. Upon enter
ing the church, the ladies filed to
the right and the men to the left,
being seated apart. This was an
iron-clad rule and there was no
deviation from it, no matter how
crowded the seats on one side
might be, or how empty on the
other, so that it is easy to assume
that if a young gentleman had
comfortably seated himself in a
pew on the ladies side, there would
have been, by reason of his scand-
alous conduct, indignation among
the pillars, and the offender landed
in the street, with hat mashed and
Sunday clothes rumpled ut is a
wonder" an old member recorded,
that there were not a large num-
ber of cross eyed folks in the town,
because while literally obeying the
rule and wishing to appear as
looking right ahead, how could
they avoid looking likewise -
askant and askew?"
The Board of Directors, which at
that time consisted of Piner Mans
field, president; James Mcdowell,
Denney Stevenson, Isaac Davis,
John Cooper, Benjamin Collins and
! Alexander McClyment held many
meetings between the first move
for a new church and the actual
accomplishment. After praying
Gods guidance, they would take
up from time to time the matter
at hand. First there was the mat
ter of where the new church should
stand Some said on the site of
the old-others said it must be on
main street of the town rather
than on one which could be reach
ed only by narrow lone. There
was much hot debate, but when
the vote was taken, all decided in
favor of DR.. FISHERS lot on Mt.
Vernon Street. They gave him a
bond for $3.50 and $50 in cash. The
next item to consider was the
making of bricks. The lot at the
back of the old church was fine
clay, SO it was decided to set up
a brick yard right there and make
Smyrna times., 1947-03-06

where in the vicinity of "Whop-
pin," others rushed to the burning
building and worked feverishly to
quench the flames. The engine
was disabled and could not be used,
and much time was lost by the
men in fruitless effort to bring
it under control. On this occasion,
ladies contributed buckets, formed
line and worked with the men in
conveying water, and after per-
haps an hours hard work the fire
was extinguished, having been con-
fined to the back building of the
house in which it originated and it
is believed that chiefly through
the efforts of the ladies much valu-
able properly was saved from de-
struction. Not lady tainted, but
all worked heroically and, though
with wet and bedraggled skirts,
were quite happy when they dis
covered the result of their labors.
This incident, being outside of the
church's jurisdiction the women
were not separated from the men
according to the rules of the
church.
AT the time of the building of
the new church Smyrna was made
a station and the first pastor, JOS
eph Mason was assigned to give all
his time here. This meant that
the work could expand. Each year
when the conference met, the pas
tors were changed. In 1849, Rev.
John A. Roche came, and in 1866,
when Rev. Samuel Gracey was
pastor, the parsonage was built
and many prominent families join
ed the church. In 1869, came an
overwhelming blow. On the night
of December II, cry of fire"
brought people rushing to the out
side to find Old Asbury in flames.
The little engine, Smyrna" was
rushed to the scene. The firemen
cid the best, but before the fams
could be entirely overcome, the
basement of the church was de-
stroyed. Along with it went the
pulpit, pews and the library OF
1900 books. The Sanctuary was
covered with SCOT and soaked with
water, but the people determined
to rebuild. After the remodeling
the church looked like new. A SUBJ
scription list was made up which
fully covered the amount in cash
and pledges, but very soon after
that, the largest subscriber failed
! in business. Several others died
and some were lax in their pay
ments. Ten years later, 1879, found
the church with a debt of $4,000
Smyrna times., 1947-03-06

on which interest was mounting at
an alarming rate. 1t was decided
to make a canvas. If at the end
of the time, the whole amount was
not raised, those who had subscrib-
ed should be given back their
money. In three months, the en-
tire amount was raised.
When the remodeling had been
completed they decided that the
cornerstone should be opened
which had ben laid May 29, 1874.
On September 6, 1871, the tin box
was opened in the parsonage and
was found to contain a Bible,
Methodist hymnal, discipline of the
Church, officers and scholars of the
Sunday School, members of the
Juvenile Debating Society, an ac-
count of the organization Morning
Star Lodge, 1. o. o. F. in 1912, re-
ligious and secular papers of that
time, etc.
Asbury also took an active part
in missionary work. In 1861, men,
bers went forth to preach near the
wharves of Smyrna Landing. Soon
after chapel was built, where
preaching services were held and a
Sunday School organized. There
was also a mission school conduct
ed by Mrs. Jerman who lived on
E. Commerce Street. She gather
eo all the poor children of her
lneighborhood together and taught
them the stories of the Bible. The
work grew to such an extent that
her husband built a chapel for her,
near their home in 1878. After
her death the chapel remained
empty until 1890. At that time,
Spruance City had become quite
well populated. AS there was a
need for a church, the chapel was
given to Asbury by Mrs. Jerman's
son. 1t was moved to Spruance
City and there it stands to this day
still Jerman Chapel. Mr.. L. M
Price was the first superintendent
of the Sunday School there. Mrs
Jerman's daughter and son-in-lawI
the Baldwins, went as missionaries
to China.
Since that time, many changes
have taken place. The membership
has grown to 800. A new organ
has been added and ministers have
come and gone. 1t is interesting
to note that the ball and the
weather vane on the top of the
spire are symbols. The ball repre-
sents the world and the weather
vane is significant of the belize
that Christ shall be triumphant
north, south, east and west.

including the superintendent and
the six teachers. The Unon Sun
day School was the name selected
for it and it was attended by more
than sixty children: Methodist,
Presbyterian and Baptist. One of
the best superintednents while the
girls were taking charge was
Sarah Patterson. She is remem-
bered today by the older people of
the town as Mrs. Mason. She pos
sessed unusual attainments for a
woman of her day. She recorded
for History much of the story of
the Methodist Church of the first
half of the nineteenth century.
Her poetry was ofen published in
the Delaware papers of those days.

the bricks. The trustees them
selves took turns experimenting
the work. A committee was ap-
pointed to make up a subscription
list to raise the expenses. In May,
1874, ground was broken with
singing and prayer. The church
had a seating capacity of 900 and
cost $1,000. The final dedication
was in the winter of 1845 at which
time Bishop Waugh and DR.. Gerry
spoke.
Several years later, just before
the close of the service at the
church, there was an alarm spread
that fire and smoke was issuing
from a building next to, or very
near to the church edifce. Many
men ran for the fire engine, some
