The Old Home of Several Religious Organizations. - COLUMBIA LAW BUILDING A MEMORY Many Prominent and Notable Cit- izens Worshiped There. LOOKING FAR BACKWARD _——— The old Columbia Law building, on 3th street above D, facing the Judiciary Squar2, having been razed to make room for a splendid office building, one of the old lard marks of the olden time, so dear to the heart of those who remember primitive Washington, and venerated by the de- scendants of the worthies of three-fourths of a century ago, disappears from view, and hereafter will exist only in the mem- ores and traditions of the old days. For a long perlod—cver twenty years—it was the home of the third Episcopal Church estab- lished in the city limits, for shorter periods by the Corgregationalists, who subse- quently built at 10th and G streets; by the Central Presbyterian (Rev. Dr. Pitzer’s) Church, organized in May, 1868, and other religious bodies, and for thirty years as a iaw school and office building, the Colum- bin Title Insurance Company, on its organ- ization, occupying the large hall in the up- per part. There are, therefore, quite a number of the old-time Washington people who feel an interest in the old building, some of whom, in church and Sunday school, laid the foundation for Christian character, ard many are those who be- cxme disciples of Blackstone through the law school. It may be asserted, therefore, that there are memories of scenes which were enacted in the building for near three- fourths of a century which are remem- bered and will be recalled by hundreds scattered over the Union, if not the world. seseoecgeateagegengeogeeteogetoagoeeeteaegeagegentoagenteateeeateneteatiatesgsbageiasongedateageconteetseage seated 4 + fo jadies, = nd children, e 4 = Ome lot of Ladies", Misses’ and Children's | greatest Leghorn value ever offered...

In January, 1849, the architect of the Smithsonian, Mr. James Renick, presented the plan for the building (erected afterward at 3d and C streets northwest) and esti- mates which reviyed interest. The rector, Dr. Butler preached a special sermon on the subject, strongly urging the erection of a larger edifice, as a duty the congre- gation owed to the church at large and the community. A meeting of the con- gregation -was held a few day after, at which General Waiter Jones, then a lead- ing member of the bar of the District, pre- sided, and the situation having been’ can- on motion of ex-Mayor Weight- nan, (who was prominent in the original organization), the plans of the vestry look- ing to the erection of a new edifice were indorsed and approved and the hearty co- operation of the’ congregation pledged.

Its normal date for reaching the Hy- derabad state is June 5. It continues, with the wind prevailing from the southwest, till beyond the middle of September, when the wind, gradually veering around by west and north to the northeast, brings what appears to be a return monsoon, but what probably is the current of the southwest , Which, passing from the com- of ‘the rains in June, up east coast and thence to the north- west up the Gangetic valley, has at- tained greater strength than that which is then exercised by the waning- west coast current, and makes itseif felt in the central provinces and the south.
