Their old church l to be transformed Into
a bowling alley.
The church, which formerly housed one
of the moat prominent Baptist congrega
tions in Brooklyn, was consolidated with
the Union Baptist church about two years
ago, and the property put up for sale. The
location mads the property desirable for
many purpesea, and competition for it was
keen. Since the transfer was mads tha
structure has been used for various pur
poses, and during the last municipal cam
paign It was the headquarters of the Green
point republicans. Various rumors that the
building was to be turned Into a itheater
did' not disturb the minds of the fprmer
parishioners, but when a report was circu
lated that tha owner Was about to let the
place for a bowling alley, many whose
tnemberahlp In tha church dates back to Its
foundation vehemently opposed such a p'an.
One former member said ah opposed the
scheme of putting the former church build
