for V ii U4.
There Is a little , old , deserted bride build
ing now standing in u vccd-ovoritrown lot
near the corner of 1-flnth and Funiam streets ,
right across the street from the old Cnnlicld
liousc ,
It Is wontlicr-bcatcn and generally dilapi
dated. Tuo shingle. * on Its roof have rotted
mvaylt , \ wlndowa are Ijrokcn nnd Ita doors
torn down and Its only tenants now are the
nits nntl vermin that over run It. In ono cor
ncr a pllo of straw hears evidence thnt the
little building liai atsonia tlmo been put to
the hue uses ot n stable , but now even the
cattle have deserted it , and It stands there
lonely , the very picture of desolation.
It due-.n't ' deserve lo bo so neglected , that
little old ljulldliiff. Many ol these who read
thusolines this Sunday morning -will goback
in memory to the tlmo when that little
'orlelt building wns a phico of Importance
In Omaha , and many eyes will
prow dim with tears when s\vcot recollections
"thatcluster alxmt the unpretentious , now de
caying little structure are reviewed.
The litllo brick building , with Its hrokcn
windows and unhinged doorsiind euiivnil air
of dlljpldatton Is the oldest chunk building
now standing1 la Oinnhn ,
Itliu brick building u story and nhnlf high ,
and at a pressure would possibly hold 125 per
sons. In central nppcaranco ft resembles a
country school house ai much as it does a
church. It has a peaked roof and along
cither slilo nro three- windows with remnants
of Kh > ss panes still sticking Into the frames ,
There wns some eftoit evidently to inako
the front of the little church as pretentious In
appearance as possibly. The doorway h wldu
nnd arched. On euhur sldo Is u largepcuUul
window nnd above tlio door Is a circular-
shaped aperture , covered with painted glass.
Over the doorway a horseshoe has been
nailed , doubtlessly long slnco the building
censed to bo used iw a house of worship. On
one lintel n glaring red card announces
that the place is for rent on reasonable
term ? . Nowhere docs the cross of thocnnrcli
militant miso Its crest , All such symbols
IOUK alnco disappeared. In the west end
there Is a small door and three closely
grouped windows , the mldtllo ono set rather
higher than these on the side. It was be-
neutli tlieso windows that the altar used lo
stand , nnd hero the holy sacrament was
blessed and holy benediction pronounced
above tlio heads of blushing join IK bridal
couples as they knelt there sldo by side und
here the minister stood while ho road , the
solemn service for the burial of the dead.
AVliat changes are wrought by tlmo. The
on co most sacred spot is novrcovcrcd by dust ,
colnvobs fill the cfiiinccl windows and every
thing Is d.irk and damp and clammy.
The Interior wnlls of the little church are
covered with cheap llgured wnll paper tbat
docs not add particularly to the church's
npiK'iu-unce. In the matter of furniture the
huildiiiK Is entirely empty. The altar , seats
and everything of the Itlnd nave been ro-
movcd nnd the building Is entirely bare.
Thla little old church was built l > v the Knis-
coiullun * In the summer of i8r > 'J , 'tlilrty-ono !
years a o. How man3 * men who watched Its
construction morothnna qnartcrof u century
ago , when they wcro in their prime nro now
old men , bowed and vruiltled , Hearing thu
Inevitable end of nil things mortal.
.V'Jho little building was tlio original Trinity
church of Omaha , the parent of the flourish-
iiiKTrliilty cathedral parish of today. Aa
Episcopal congregation had been formed be
fore Its erection , nnd services hail' been held
in n dcsUtory sort of a way , Sometimes the
meetings would bo held hi a hall in the old
Pioneer block , sometimes in the dining room
of.thu ohl St. Chiirles hotel , and then again
jxk n Ilttl0x-oool ] , lioiiMO'Uiui ' stood ncut * the
comer of Twelfth and Dodge streets. It was
always a question of doubt as to Avhen , Its
incctliiK would bo held on any certain Sun
day. Some , people would po to ono hall and
others to another , as it could not always bo
announced -\vhoro the service would bo held ,
'i'lils was eminently unsatisfactory , and
finally the church , people decided to
try nnd build u church. Gen
eral Jcsso fowo , the first mayor ot
Omaha , owned tlio ground where the llltlo
building now stands , and lie also had oa hand
a largo number of bride. Ho told tbo parish
people thnt if they would buy the luraberand
pay for the work he would con tribute the
brick and lot , with the one provision that the
entire building and the ground upon which It
stood should revert to him at the expiration
of ten years , The church folia thought this
oiler liberal nnd accepted the tornis , 1'hoy
secured the lumber and the workmen , and
tlio little church was built , at a cost
of $1,000 to the parish. Services ivero hold
in the building for eight years. People were
jolnci ] In wedlock there , Infants m ro bap
tized anil over others tue death services were
* wfoud. The seasons cnmo and went. Chrlst-
'
n'w. Good Friday , Ensterand Trliilty.alltho
festivals and feasts of the church m'ro duly
observed during that tlmo.Vhon It was but
two years before the time should corao when ,
by the terms of the contract entered Into with
General Lowe , the church and lot should re
vert to him , the parihh people wore made an
offer for thounexplrcd time of the contract ,
and they sold it for S2U ( and the church
grounds became , soon afterwards , a hcor
garden and the little cliuich itself asaloom
With the f..OOOtis n nucleus another church
was built onlSiFlitouith street and Cupltol
avenue , built burned down.
