Its membership numbering but seven regular members with an aver age attendance at church of about fifteen persons. The smallest of the congregation has always been a puzzle to those in terested in the church. It has been organzied sincce 1890, but never seems to grow any larger despite the efforts of revivalists and well-known colored organizers who have visited the church for the purpose of building it up. During Its twenty-two years of exist ence many preachers have been as signed to the pastorate, but owing to the smallness of the congregation of late years it has been impossible to raise enough money to pay the preach er for his services. At the last meeting of the Methodist conference the question of the Parker chnrch was discussed at length by the delegates. Scheme after scheme for the building up of the impoverished treasury, and the congregation, were discussed, but none seemed feasible. W. C. Andrews, a lay preacher hold ing a pastorate in Providence on a salary,, then came forward and offered, his services as a preacher. Leaving his family behind, the preacher went to Meriden, where he assumed charge. Inasmuch as he had no income, it become compulsory up on him to provide a roof for himself. Securing some old boards and tim bers, the nreacher built a small room on the rear of the church. For weeks he labored from morning to night until at last he had for himself a cozy home at no expense to the church. Determined still further that tne church would not, have to Bupport him, he cast around for a' suitable position whereby he could earn enough to live pn. Mr. Andrews was not afraid of work, and prominent business men of Meriden who had heard of his efforts and his eacriflce secured for him a position with the Meriden Gas com pany as a porter. ' - Here six days In the week the preacher toils as a porter. In the af ternoons and evenings he gets out and works among his parishioners, per forming all the duties of a minister, such as visiting the sick and officiat ing at marriages and funerals. Bent on performing service to his congregation, Mr. Andrews, however, shuns all publicity ,and performs his good deeds without making known his work. .
