resolution cOndemning the state
administration, through its ex-
travagent expenditures Tor reduc-
ing the states credit rating from
AAA to AA."
The AYR pointed out that the
states credit rating, Inherited
from the Republican adninistra-
tiOns Of years past. has been im-
paired by the present Democratic
administration even though. the
latter has seen fit to set new roc
Ords for taxes"
This resolution went on e say
that by contrast we find that in
the City OF Wilmington Ropub-
lican administration, continuing IA
the careful economy % Its RcDOh-
lcan predecessors, has provided
the services Of q large community
in a metropolitan area without
raising taxes and without impair
ing its credit rating which is ex-
tremely high"

of Maryland decided to meet for
religious services.
Earlier, in 1865, the Old Fed
eral Church, one of the oldest
Methodist churches in Maryland,
was abandoned and the commu-
nifty was left without a place of
worship. Two years later, the
families of the area started to
hold services in the homes of
Benjamin Fawcett and William E.
Shaw. later in 1867, a hall on
Colesville road, on the Paint
Branch Farm, was rented.
The Colesville Methodist Church
was started in 1868 and COM
pleted the following year accord
ing to one set of records. An
other record places the date at
1872. 1t was a frame one-room
building. 1t was later torn down,
after serving the congregation
until 1888, when the new church
was built.
Organization of the congrega-
ton is dated at 1872. It's first
trustees were Mr.. Shaw, Francis
Lazenby and Mr.. Fawcett. First
pastor was the Rev. Robert Arm
strong, who served four years.
Little is known about the church
from 1872 to 1908, when it
changed from being a part of the
Hyattsville charge to a separate
one consisting of three churches
Four Corners (now Marvin Me-
moriaD Church, Lay Hill and An
drew Chapel, Colesville. The name
Andrew Chapel was taken after
Mr.. Andrew, who held one of the
original land grants in this part
of Maryland.
The Sunday school also was
started during this period, in 1886,
with Mr.. Fawcett as superintend-
ent. Miss Eveleen Hobbs is super
intendent today.
The first pastor, the Rev. B. L.
Parrott. came in March, 1908. He
went with his members to a nearby
wood to fell trees for parsonage.
He also worked at a nearby saw
mill to convert the trees into lum-
ber. He left in 1906.
The cornerstone of the present
church was laid in June, 1898. In
December the first service was
held in it.
A brick parsonage was built op-
posite the church in 1948, and
occupied October 18, 1948.
There is now a move on hand
to build an educational building.
