Methodist Church Building One Year Old

New York, 1895

Morris Park Notes.

The Methodist church celebrated its first anniversary of the dedication of its new building on Sunday. Rev. A. W. Byrt preached the sermon.

The official board of the Methodist Episcopal church accepted the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Byrt as pastor. He will go to the church at Patchogue on July 1.

The announcement of the lecture on "The Salvation of the Republic," to be given by the eloquent Paulist Missionary, the Rev. Father Doyle, in St. Benedict's Church, Morris Park, Sunday evening next, has awakened wide spread interest. A concert will precede the lecture at 7.30. Father Doyle is the Catholic clergyman who appeared before the students of the Union Theological Seminary a few months ago and addressed them at the invitation of the Rev. Dr. Briggs.
