At the present time there are within the District (^Col-
umbia ’four congregations seeking to restore the New Testa-
ment Christianity. The oldest of these is the Fourteenth
Street Church which was established thirty-five years ago.
It has been meeting at its present location since 1920. The
building was bought from a Presbyterian Church which
built a larger and more beautiful building on Sixteenth
Street.
Through the influence of the. Fourteenth Street Church
Avalon Heights, which now has about 125 members, was
established in the northeast section of the city in 1926.
Harry Pickup, Jr., is working with the congregation. In the
Southeast part of the District is the Aanacostia congrega-
tion, numbering about 100, which Fourteenth church helped
to establish in 1941. Denton Neal preaches for them.
The remaining congregation in the District is the colored
church located in the southwest, a group which has been
under the supervision of the Fourteenth Street church from
the time of its beginning. They were helped to get an ade-
quate building and financial assistance has been given on the
preacher’s salary for several years. They number about

' A ’
j jr,
One of the articles which will im-
press most of the readers greatly
this week is the great story of prog-
ress in our work in the nation’s Cap-
ital. This church has been a bul-
wark m the spread of the churc.’i
not only in its own immediate area,
but to many other parts of the
world. For many a young man or
woman who has lived and worked
v and worshipped there for a few
months or years has gone out to
some other place filled with vUlon
and enthusiasm to build the church
> in a new field
Hence this church has served
as a radiating canter far the work
, not only in the ad joinfaig.area, but
r In many sections of the nation.
Wa often argue (and rightly, I
think) that the members in the
of worship for the college con-
located. The argument ta, that a
much larger and more expensive
Anrve the needs of these youths
who are actually non-resident
members, and that it is no more
the responsibility of members liv-
ing In the college town than It
to the responsibility of the par- ■
anta and members in other parte
of the nation.
The same or similar reasons could
be urged for members helping the
Hth Street Church in Washington,
D. C. I have only visited and preach-
ed in Washington once. While there
I preached for the 14th Street and
the Anacostia churches, and had a
chance to visit the buildings and
meet a number of the members
from the other congregations. I
never met a more zealous lot.
Naturally, it might be a bit pre-
judiced for their cause. They have
from the very first been among the
most ardent and loyal supporters
Of the Chronicle, and I suppose
there is no church anywhere which
has had a greater per cent of its
members as consistent readers of
the paper. A great number of the
young people who have been there
in school or government employ*
ment began to take the Chronicle
while there, and now that they
have returned home or gone into
nsq fields still take it and have en-
listed many others to take it. So
can see, I might be prejudiced
Kt I still say. if you are looking for
a worthy place to invest some
w inoney for the Lord’s work, here is
a great c«e.
