Tt has about 500 communicant mem- hers. The church was organized in this city on August 28, 1836, although services were held previous to this time. to the late R. M. in the middle wall of the Organized by 12 Men. As early as 1836, a dozen men In New Britain, which was then a part of Berlin, thought that an Episcopal church should be organized in this city. As a result they met and the organization was completed in August of that year. 1. E. Smith, Lorenzo P. Lee, Eman- uel Russell, George TFrancis, John Fairbrother, Philip Judd, Hezekiah Seymour, Cyrus Booth, John B. Par- sons, Arthur Pendleton, Henry Bald- win and Rev. N. §. Wheaton were the 12 men to organize the church. Services In Academy. Rev. N. §. Wheaton was named as chairman of the committee and Lor- enzo P. Lee was the treasurer. Rev. Mr. Wheaton was president of Trin- ity college in Hartford at that time. ‘the first services were held in the upper room of the academy. This room accommodated between 50 to 100 persons. It could not be ascertalned what was meant by “the old academy,” as a history of the | church does not reveal it. Tt thought that the academy was a pri- | vate school in New Britain in those | years. Build First Church. The first Episcopal church in New Britain was built on the north side Jast Main street near the site of | George M. Landers’ former home, now occupied by Shurberg's block. The | first services were held in that church | |in December of 1837. Build Again. The above church and property was sold in 1847 and in that same year, on April 10, the members of the | church bought the land where the wooden structure is now located. The | price paid for the land on which the church stands only v $400, At that time a schoolhouse w ed on the | corner of West Main street and Wash- ington street. The cornerstone to the then new building was laid on June 19, 1848, In [ 1559 the building was cut in half and |a new section was inserted. This greatly enlarged the quarters. Two more windows were installed in a | streteh of 27 feet. The chapel was { bullt in 1860 on the west side of the | church and since that time many | { minor ndditions have been made. Rectors, the time the church was or- ganized there have been 17 rectors in | charge of the church. Rev.

Rev. Samuel Sutcliffe is rector at present. Mr. Sutcliffe was appoginted as as- sistant to Mr. Bodley in May of 1917, and was named rector of the church in 1918. During the many years of its existence there have been some periods when substitutes were em- ployed. Movement ¥For Church. A movement for a new church was first started on October 29, 1918. A committee consisting of the rector and C. I. Chase was appointed to formu- late the building policy for the church. The committee reported at a meet- ing of the vestry in January of 1919, and the report was adopted. The re- port was also adopted at the annual meeting of the church held in Feb- ruary of the same year. The committee was then enlarged by two more members, namely IRob- ert Peck, who was chairman, and Isaac Russell, who was treasurer. Plans Submitted. Plans were submitted to the com- mittee by two architects and prelim- inary plans were made for the build- ing of a church on the corncr of West Main and Washington streets. The bids were so high that the question of building was reconsidered and was decided to purch: elsewhere and to sell this land. Remembered In Will, The property on West Main streg west of the New Britain 'Institute was secured after which the sale of the old property to the Commercial Trust company was negotiated. In March of 1919, Darius Miller be- queathed the sum of $100,000 to the parish “for use and purpose of St. Marl h.' New Plans Submitted. New plans were submitted and drawn up to include the church and the parish house in one building. The grading of the new property ~made this possible. pund Is Broken. The contract for the new building was awarded on April 1, 1920, and the H. Wales company broke ground for the new edifice on April 11, 1921.

I'll know how much you believe in these things when J sce your pledge cards,” said Rev. John L. Davis, at the session of the Every- man's Bible class yesterday morning. Iaith Without Works 1s Dead, R Mr. Davis took as his theme, the third of a series of four subjects he has announced on applied religion. He took his text from the second chapter of James, and stated that a person can have all kinds of faith in religion and bellef in the doctrines of the church, but a practica} application of the faith is necessary to accom- plish anything. Belief and Conduct. “It isn’t so much what you be- lieve,”” he said, “It's what you do, Before the Civil war the south be- lieved in slavery and the north didn't. That was because the south had slav- ery and the north did not. We used to talk about the way the people in the south treated the negroes before Now we are treating them ame as they did. Our belief is changing our conduct. “What you believe makes all the difference in the world. You say, ‘I believe in the church, in the gospel, in God, the devil, hell, etc! What do you do that you wouldn't do if you didn't believe? What good does your religion do you when a com- munity drive comes along? Deserting Husbands “Let men believe that their sins will find them out and they will be very careful about sinning in the fu- ture.” Here the minister told of three homes he knows ahout where the father has deserted the family and left the mother to make a living for the children. “Those homes were broken up,” he said, “because the men thought they could get away with it. Their sins will haunt them to their dying day and will follow them be- yond the grave to face them before a just God, or I don't understand re- ligion.” “How many men here believe with James that man's works must show his belief in God. That faith with- out works is dead? If you believe that stand up.” Everyman in the class stood up. “All right,” concluded the minister, then show your Christianity on your pledge cards.” Pledge cards for the United Com- munity Corporation drive were dis- tributed throughout the church. Many men filled them and turned them in, while others took their cards home for further consideration. How much was subscribed is not known, but it is known that the first 15 cards showed over §$200, ; Bishop Anderson There. Bishop W. I.

Dr. Moss Speaks Also, Rev. Dr. Arthur Moss, of New York, |now connected with the board of for- (cign missions of the Methodist |church and former chaplain of the British army in India, delivered a 10 minute lecture before the sermon, and was invited by unanimous vote of the class, to return and deliver an addr some Sunday morning. Dependent On Foreign Countries Rev. Dr. Moss talked on the theme of America's need to ‘play with the world.” He intimated that this country cannot stand aloof from other |nations. He explained that we are ab- solutely dependent upon the smaller and ignorant nations of the world for using cvery | [many products we are day. The Old And The New He told some remarkable instances in connection with the world's pro- gress today., He was stationed during the war at a point less than 40 miles from the forbidden land of Thibet. Walking through a Hindoo village one day he saw a man buried alive in the sand with only one hand and a tube for breathing, protruding above the ground. Farther on he saw man lying on a bed of spikes, farth- | er on he saw a man suspended by the | feet over a fire. These men were per- | forming the religious rites of their | eountry and yet in plain view on the side of the hill was the latest radio telephone outfit in full operation. A friend of the speaker in company | with another white man, was going down a Chinese river, when they were stopped by a native near a small vil- lage, told that only a few people in {that village had ever seen a white man and were invited to come and speak to them. The nearest white man lived 100 miles away and only a few of the men had ever scen him. The men went into the town, every family was routed out by the com- mittee and all assembled in an empty warehouse to hear the white men and see what they looked like. Moss could not speak much Chinese but the other man gave them a short lecture from the Bible and then invited ques- ions from the audience. expected,” he said, “to have them ask us why we wore different clothes than they did, why our faces were white and theirs yellow, what oln‘mfi'[ [ om®” A ek VICKEST to take eflect—the safest and most dupendable remedy for Hesd: aches, Colds and La Grippe.
