Paca Street, Baltimore, Md.j FOX'S OLD STABLES 4 i ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦*»¦¦¦*¦¦¦¦¦ midst of a maze of buildings of the modern period in the very heart of that great city. One of the oldest churches in the United States, with an eventful history which dates back to a time when Baltimore county was in its infancy and thought of a city had not yet been conceived, the story of Old St. Paul's is closely wound about the history of the State of Maryland. ' By the will of Jeremiah Eaton, in 1675, "Stokeley Manor," comprising 550 acres of land, was bequeathed to the first Protestant minister who would reside in Baltimore county. With the population of the county then no more than 200, most of whom were Catholics, the faith of the Lord Proprietary, John Yeo, a clergyman of the Church of England, came from Calvert county in 1682 to accept the bequest. Stokeley Manor was located between Back and Patapsco rivers, a charming site for the birthplace of the Protestant Church. Until 1686, the time of his death, the Rev. Mr. Yeo conducted services.His death reopened the offer in the Eaton will. Within a few years, before another minister offered himself, the "Protestant Revolution" broke out, the climax occurring in 1689, when members of the creed deposed Lord Baltimore's officers and seized the government. Although this ministry was dismissed in 1692, Protestants remained in power and the church began to prosper, its maintainance being assured by taxation, St. Paul's, then known as Patapsco Parish, receiving more than 8000 barrels of tobacco, amounting in money to less than $250. Another church was built upon a new lot which extended from the site of the present building south to Lexington street (then Church street), east to St. Paul. The Rev. Benedict Bourdillon was the first pastor of the new church. Under the guidance of the Rev. Thomas Chase, father of Samuel Chase, the institution gained its present name. Upon his death a new building was started and completed in 1789. Two years later, through the generosity of John Eager Howard, land was provided at the head of what is now Liberty street for the erection of a new parish house. This quaint building has for more than 130 years withstood the advance of business construction. After a service of 30 years the old church was torn down, in 1814, a new one built and much of the church property given over to real estate development. The new church, of Grecian Doric architecture, was completed in 1817, and stood an impressive figure until destroyed by fire in 1854. The present structure, of Norman Gothic type, was built upon the ruins, the fourth to be built upon "Church Hill in Baltimore." After a service of 35 years the Rev. Dr. J. S. B. Hodges resigned as rector in 1906 and the Rev. Dr. Arthur B. Kinsolving, the present incumbent, followed him into office, leaving a rectorate of 17 years at Christ Church, in Brooklyn. Under his administration the Church has maintained a high standard of service and has carried on, at the chapel and guild house of this, the mother1 church, the largest mission work done in any Southern city. Boarding schools for girls and boys, a home for self-supporting young women, a coffee room, patronized by 1000 girls each week, and the daily celebration of Holy Communion are only a few of the many accomplishments of Dr. Kinsolving. The midday Lenten services established by him are known throughout the country and have brought to St. Paul's the first preachers of the land. Year by year, as the all-concuming greed of big business pushes the residential section of the city further back, churches follow their congregations and rebuild, but Old St. Paul's stands today where it stood 185 years ago, with a growing parish and ever-increasing service to the city. ORGAN TO BE DEDICATED Memorial Services To Be Conducted At Kingsville Church Tomorrow. The memorial organ, recently installed in St. John's Church, Kings-ville, will be dedicated tomorrow (Easter Sunday) at the 11.30 A. M. service, by the rector, Rev. Theodore S. Will, and the public is cordially invited to attend. The organ is the gift of Mrs. G. Franklin Onion, formerly Miss Edyth Gorsuch, and her cousin, Mr. Frank M. Gorsuch, in memory of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Gorsuch and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Gorsuch. It is equipped with the latest mechanical and electrical appliances and its tone is unusually sweet and melodious. A special musical service will be rendered by the organist, Mrs. J. Konrad Uhlig, and the vested choir, under the direction of Dr. Uhlig, formerly of Grace and St. Peter's Church, Baltimore. ----------o---------- BAY SHORE BUS LINE URGED AS FERRY LINK. DEATH CLAIMS JOHN E, KLING-ELHOFER. Following an application filed by the Shore Transit Company, Inc., asking permission to establish and operate a motor bus line between the ferry terminal at Bay Shore and the center of Baltimore city, a considerable number of Eastern Shore residents petitioned the Public Service Commission to grant such a privilege. It was stated in the petition that the service rendered by the United Railways between Baltimore and the ferry terminal is in many ways unsatisfactory and that the proposed bus line not only would make better time than the trolley cars, but would carry passengers directly from the boat to the downtown section of the city without change. The Shore Transit Line already has in operation bus lines which carry passengers from principal points on the Shore to the eastern ferry terminal at Rock Hall. There connection is made with the Baltimore and Eastern Shore ferry line to Bay Shore. The Transit Line has had before the Commission for several weeks an application for permission to operate a bus line between Salisbury, Princess Anne, Crisfield and Poco-moke City, but the Commission signed an order refusing the application. 'COMET" WINS 16TH ANNUAL "POINT-TO-POINT" RACE. Witnessed by a crowd estimated at 3000, Donald Pearce repeated his performance of last year by riding Foxhall P. Keene"s "Comet" to victory at annual "point-to-point" race at My Lady's Manor. Second place was won by "Daybreak," owned and ridden by Joseph Neff Ewing; Mrs. Frank Bonsai's "Moccasin," winner of the 1921-22 race, finished third. BLACK CAT BRINGS BAD LUCK TO AUTO. Andrew Leppert didn"t let the cat out of the bag. The cat got out despite Leppert. It was a black cat, and naturally things began to happen. Leppert told county police all about it when they responded to an excited telephone call saying an automobile had gone over an embankment near Pikesville, and was being stripped of all movable parts by a band of vandals. There was no robbery and there were no vandals. But there had been an accident. And all because that black cat got out of the bag. Leppert said he was taking the cat, a present from a friend, to his home. When the cat got out of the bag he let go the steering wheel to seize the cat. He caught the cat, but the machine careened down the embankment. Persons in the neighborhood, seeing his plight, helped pull the machine back on the road. Another neighbor mistook them for robbers and telephoned the police. Everything was straightened out when the cat was pulled back in the bag.
