ora to call the new church “Tha FI rat Baptist Church at Capo Island." but tha Board of TraatMO, whoa they were lagatly organlxed, Incorporated as the Tnwteea of tha "Capo Island Baptist Church." This change was mads to avoid a similarity In aama with that of tha First Church at tha Court House. To tha Council came the Rev. John Jonas, of the Second Baptist Church, at PI era o. The Rev. lease Moore appeared from the First Church at the Court House, and the Dividing Creek Church cent the Rev. D. William Bacon. The Council organised by electing Brother Moore. Moderator; Brother N. B. Tlndsl, Clerk, and It was agreed, without distent, "that It was both necessary and expedient to f an Independent Baptist Church on Cape Island." Prayer was offered by Bit Church; eeraon by Brother Jonee, from Matthew 16: 18; prayer was sgala offered by Dr. Bacon. Tbe right hand of fellowship was extended by Brother Isaac Moore* the addreea to the church was dellrared by Brother N. B. Tlndsl, snd tha record adds: “The exercises were well sdspteed to the occasion.’ The first pastorate of fee church was offered to the Rev. N. B/TindaL who acted until the eervlee of lease Church, for t£e church from May 17, 1144, October 7, 1S48. Isaac Church, 8r., moved to Cape May from Lancaster. Ohio, some j previous to 1844. He united with the First Church at the Court House by letter, 'January 11. 1840. Dismissed by letter. April 6. 1844, to unite with Cape Mlaad Church. He was blind, but this physical affliction did not prevent him from being an active worker for Master. T 1 • early records of Ohurch testify to bit faithfulness in tbe discharge of his duty. He lived at the Steamboat in ding, Cape May Point The committee appointed by tha friends of the BanHata aw* afterward* recognised os the Building Committee, proved to be an energetic body. Some changes were subsequently made In tha committee, and they reported that they had selected a location for the church (tha present site). The deed for the church property la dated August 16. U44, and la from William Corgie, of Lowar Township, to the Tniateea of the Cape Island Baptist Church, who ere named as John Price, Jeremiah Hand, Philip Hand. Aaron Bchelllnger, William Bennett, Richard Ludlam and James Clark. It 1* an unconditional dead, and convey* “AH that certain lot of land, situate In tbn Lower Township, on Cape Island, on the road from the Island to Schalllnger'i Landing, etc." Recorded in Deed Book T, page* ML (S’: and 883. The work of building the church not prograc* rapidly, as tha church wa* aot ready fer dedication until July 17, 1847. During this time the buslnaas meettaga ware held at. grother ShaW* house, and the religious meetings In the old achool house. It w&o be regretted that there la no record ot the exercise* at the church dedication. The date of dedication was first fixed for July 11, and postponed until July 18. The record says that Rev. Mr. Andrews was appointed a committee to Invite ministerial brethren, and the congregation* of* tha Methodist and Presbyterian Churches. The Rev. Mr. Andrews mentlonad took a very active part in building and forwarding tha church. He saenred aubecriptiou* In Camden. Wllliamstown and Philadelphia. and bought the church furniture, to wit: Bofa, table,. chairs, carpets, mats, window fixtures, a brittannla > mm union aerrlee, .etc. - John Price, one of the original Trustees. lived at Cold 'Bpring. He frailly preached for the church during the Urns the pulpit was supplied by the

Unger, Mrs. Phoebe Webb, Dr. 1. F. iMsmtng and Rev. Mr. Cocking pastor at tha Prasbyterian Church. In the evening the Rev. fir. F. B.
