In the even-| ing the topic will be “Why I Am a| {Christian.” Special music will be furnished by the choir, under the leadership of Chorister Gilbert A. Clark, and Miss Minitred Peyton, harp Isoloist, from Los Angeles, will render special numbers. The church grew out of a series ol‘ prayer meetings held in the home of | Mrs. Celestia Ferris in 1871. A Sun-| day School was organized and met in’ a frame bullding at the corner of 7th and A streets northeast. This bufld: ing “has cradled three churches— | namely, the Metropolitan Baptist,| Metropolitan Presbyterian and Ep-| worth Methodist. From this Sunday School sprang ai organizataion called the Metropolitan Baptist Association, ! which purchased the lot on the corner | of 6th and A streets norfheast for| $1,000 and erected a chapel thereon. | Church Is Organized. The first step toward the actual {church organization was taken Feb- ruary 27, 1878, when thirty-one con- |stituent members organized the Met- ropolitan Baptist Church. Of the joriginal thirty-one members two are |living today and are still members of the church. They are Mrs. Marion McLean, 507 A street southeast, and Mrs. Mary Taylor, who now lives in Chicago, but maintains her afiliation with the church. In 1888 the adjoin- ing lot was purchased and an addi- tional bullding erected, costing $11,- When the present pastor, Rev. John Compton Ball, was called, in 1903, he found a church of 361 members, with two small bujldings. He appointed a building committee in 1904 and pegan the accumulation of funds, which re- sulted in the erection of the present Dbeautiful structure in 1911, which was dedicated January 14, 1912, Tts value is $92,000 and it seats 1500 people. During the forty-five vears of the church's history seven pastors have filled the pulpit, as follows. Rev. Ste- WILL TALK ON BIBLE. ‘W. H. H. Smith to Give Lecture at Y. M. C.
