The Church Site. ‘The church is located on the Columbia road, just west of Ith street, and has a frontage of seventy feet, with a depth of 105 feet, covering the entire lot. The gen- eral style of the building is Romanesque, and the materials used are @ fine grade of press brick and Hummelstown brown stone. Stene work is used up to the win- dow sill of the second story. At the north- west corner of the bullding there is e square nee of brick, with an open belfry at the “top. This tower is 105 feet from base to peak. The frcnt face of the church contains a projection, finished with a gable, and this feature is repeated on each of the sides, while at the northwest corner there is a circular bay window running from the basement to the second story. The tower and the bay window are handsome- ly_ornarented. Flanked on either side by the tower and the bay window is the main entrance. This entrance is through an arch circular |. doorway, protected by wrought iron dcu- ble gates. Brown stone has been exte! sively used in a portion of the front im- mediately adjcining the doorway, and the latter has been deeply recessed. The floor of the main auditorium has been raised six feet above the grade line, and there ere nine broad stone steps to the front entrance. On the east side, which ts bounded by an alley, there is an entrance leading by noes fe ee to the ——— ent iding is covered by a slate roof, broken here and there by gables. ‘The structure is two stories in height above the basement, as far as regards the front . The auditorium is in the rear and is reached by a main corridor ten feet wide. This is twenty-four feet long and opens directly into the arch- ed recess of the doorway. * Study and Reading Room. Portion of the tower. Next beyond the study is @ large reading room, having an entrance into the corridor and into the @uditorium. Correspofiding to these two age ware eg abo eg ao inches. Between the and + 18 supper room in the front upder the Perlor and front’ corridér, which is 29 feet ® inches by 4@ feet, with a serving room directly under the reading room above. Adjoining the serving room to the rear there is a kitchen, 13 feet 6 inches by 19 feet, which is supplied with every ccnvenience. There are also in the base- ment a boiler room and toilet room. and aiso coal cellar, The rear portion of th: baremert contains an amusement hall, 48 feet long by 68 feet, wide, directly under the * auditorium above. The handsome stained glass windows, sixty in all, are said to be among the finest of the kind ‘in the District. Eleven of these are memorials, including Hoff- man’s “Boy Jesus,” “Christ at the Door’ and “Christ in Gethseman>,” and Plock- horst’s “Christ, the Good Shepherd,” and “Christ Blessing Little Children.” Only a Uttle over half of the building bove de- scribed has been entirety compl=ted. The cost of the building and the ground, as it now stands, is about $39,000. The es- Umated cost when the building shall be completed is $60,000, The Werk Begen. Ground was broken for the new church July 9, 1896, during the great Christian’ Endeavor convention, and the ceremonies incident to the event were participated in by prominent visitigg Congregational cler- gsymen, notably Rey. Dr. Francis E. Clark of Boston, president of the United Christian wor societies; Rev. Dr. W. H. Towers of Manchester; England, and Rev. Dr. Jas. L. Hill of Salem, Mass. Owing to the un- usual finencial conditions which prevailed for many months following, it was found to be impossible to undertake the erection of the church undér the general plan adopted, but the trustees determined to go just far as they could with the work and use the money already in hand or soon to be paid in. ing upon this line, the excavations were made and the foundations laid, when work was suspended until about three weeks ago, when a loan of $15,000 for ten years, without interest, being secured from the Congregational Butiding Society of New York, the construction of the edifice was resumed. The Mount Picasant Congregational Church was organized November 2, Iss, with a membership of nineteen. Rev. Charles H. Small, who had just graduated from the Divinity School, New Haven, was called to take charge of the new congregation and faithfully ministered to its needs for eighi years. During this period and to the present time services have been held in a_ building originally erected as a public hall. For the first five years the church rented this hall for its regular services, but in 1891 by gift and purchase the stock of the hall association was secured by the church and the title to the property vested in the trustees of the society. ‘The Pastor Called. In the summer of "94 Mr. Small received @ call to the First Congregational Church of Hudson, Ohio, and the Rev. M. Koss Fishburn, then assistant pastor of the First Corgregational Church of this city, was called to take his place. Rev. M. Ross Fishbura, M. A., B. D., ts thirty years of age, a native of Ontario, Canada, where his father was settled as pastor of a Lutheran church. In 1879 his parents returned to Mennsyl- venia, their native state, and there he re- ceived his early education. He was gradu- ated from the Fitting School of Thiei Col lege in 1883, at Pennsylvania College, Get- tysburs, in 188; ¥ : summer fons during his divinity course were spent in the west, where he was engaged in home missionary work. While in Two Rivers, Wis., he assisted in the organization of the cnly church in that city m which English is preached. During the clesing year at Yale Mr. Fis! burn received a cail to the pastorate of the Ccngregational Church at Roxbury, Conn., which he aecepted. He was ordained at the Roxbury Chureh in September, 181. From Roxbury he came to Washington in. 1NUz to accept the assistant pastorate of the First Congregational Church. For two and one-half years he remained with the First Church, having entire charge of the church during twelve months of that time. In Oc- tober, 189%, Mr. Fishburn was married to Miss Emma N. Hummel of Harrisburg, Pa. Mrs. Fishburn is well known in Chris- ton Endeavor circles, having served as chairman of the junior rally committee at the. time of the "98 convention. In November, 1894, Mr. Fishburn accepted a call to the Mt. Pleasant His ministry there has been attended with in- creasing success. All of the organizations of the church which he. found on taking up the work have developed in numbers and influcrce, while other important socte- ties and committees have been formed. During his pastorate of three years 14% persons have been added to the member- ship of the church, which now numbers 238. Almost $20,000 has been raised for ail purposes, end nearly $2,500 of this amount has been devoted to and char- itable work.
