News of New Methodist Episcopa Church
Cape May Court House is to have a new Methodist Episcopal church. The last service in the old church has been held, and operations have been commenced on the new building, which will be on the site of the old church. A new edifice was made necessary by the increasing congregation, and much of the success is due to Dr. E. L. Allen, the pastor. Most of the money necessary for the building of the church is in hand.
Dr. Allen is 56 years old, and has filled pastorates in New York, Colorado and New Jersey. He served in the civil war, being a member of the 13the New Jersey Infantry for three years. He took part in twenty engagements and was wounded three times. In 1886, he was chaplain of the New York State Senate. Taylor University conferred the degree of Master of Arts on Mr. Allen, and Franklin College gave him the degree of Doctor of Divinity.
