Decided To Episcopal
Congregation Here

After more than two years of
negotiations the Baltimore Presby-
terry of the Presbyterian Church
has transferred the title of the
local property to st. Matthews
Episcopal Church The Episcopal
congregation was forced to move
from the building on the corner
of Second and Liberty streets

members voted unanimously to ac-
cept the property. Services will
continue to be held in the parish
house on Center street for the
time being, and until the remodel
ing is completed.

the Vcstry of St Matthew's as to
the possibilities of lcmodclling to
meet the standards of the Epis-

ing was brought from the Cheat

was around $1,000.
