Remarkable Transformation for Which
the Congregation la Very Liter
ally Responsible.
Tho Bronx, Now York's famous res
idential section, ling a homo-made
church. It began life as a saloon In
the period antedating the year 1, A. V.
(ante Volstead). Then followed a
spell as a billiard parlor. Rov. A. V.
Vos, an Episcopal clergyman, next
appeared upon the scene. Ho rented
the ox-saloon, organized a congrega
tion, and with a big shoc-ciise for an
altar and a dozen rude benches for the
accommodation of his flock, which In
cluded Germans, Italians, Hungarians,
Irish and Americans, the Initial serv
ice was held. In course of time thv
Uttlo congregation Increased to nbout
fifty, bought the place, paid oft tho
debt In sums of $15 and $20 nt a time
and nt length laid aside a reserve
fund. And this Is what they did with It :
Including In their number carpen
ters, bricklayers, cement workers,
oloctrlcians, etc., they had a chuurch
meeting, purceled out the work
among themselves, and on the night
of December 8 last they begaru tear
ing out the front of the building.
Each night thereafter, as soon ns sup
per was disposed of, the volunteer
workers got buck on tho Job nnd by
working every night save Sunday
sometimes well Into tho morning
they hnve succeeded In making over
tho place Into a pretty little concrete
edifice of the old Spanish mission type.
It includes not only the chapel proper,
but a dining hall, social hall, kitchen,
etc. Rev. Mr. Voss says: "It Isn't
a cathedral, but to us It Is tho finest
church building In the world becuuso
we havo reared It with our own
hands." Plans aro being formed for
tho consecration of tho building by
Bishop. Manning at an early date.

CALL TUESDAY UNLUCKY DAY
Members 0f the Greek Church Have
Reasons to Look Upon It With
Misgivings.
Tq most persons of western tradi
tion .Friday Is more or less considered
to be an unlucky day. Many of them
prefer not to say this straight out,
but; icy aro a bit wary of starting
any largo 'enterprise on a Friday. Tho
ldea,may come from tho fact that for
so many people Friday Is held as a
fast day and great Interest In purely
secular pursuits should be held some
what In abeyance. The old Norse peas
antry, give a .different explanation.
"To begin a. big thing on a Friday
leads to a great temptation to break
tho Sabbath," Is tho way one old grand
mother puts It.
To most members of the Greek
church It Is not Friday, but Tuesday
that Is tho most unlucky day. The
reason Is clearcut and historical, for
It wus on this day thata Tuesday, In
1453 Constantinople was lost to the
eastern cmplro und passed under the
control of tho Turks.
