The morale of the church at the time was at a low ebb, but vvitii Diviiie guidance, itev.

Pastor Donates $1,000 During a really held for the new church building, the pastor wrote liis check for $1,000. On all occasions he never allows a member of the church to give mor« than he does, but instead doubles the amount of the high est giver. Thus Kev. Hart leads by precept and example.

Tli« beautiful carpet on the floor of the main auditorium of the church was donated by Mis sionary Circles, numbers one and two. When it is considered tfiat the members of the church have madej such donations without letting it interfere with their church salaries, it is again testi mony of the great leadership of llt'v. Hart. Unlimited Confidence When questioned here as to the reason for his wonderful suc cess in the pastorate of First he attributed it to the fact that Calvary, liev. Hart stated that the officers and membership have placed unlimited confid ence in his leadership in that they have given him fft>e range to organize, direct and manage the business as well as the spir itual program of the church. First ('alvary was not always locateil on its present site. In 18H.‘l, when it was foundeil, the church was located on Cameron Street.
