Congregational Church
Had q Long History

When the First Congrega-
tional Church is razed next
spring, the job probably will 60
more smoothly than both the
founding Of the historic church
and the construction OF its
building at Tenth and @ streets
NV.
The society Of the church an
nounced plans this week to tear
down the 90-year- -old building
and make way for a new church
plant.
Founding of the church ran
into early difficulties because OF
the Congregationalists views on
slavery. The denomination was
strongly abolitionist and its two
efforts to form an abolitionist
church here before the Civil War
failed.
DR.. Carl Heath Kopf. the
present minister. attributes this
