"The Pentecostal Churches of America have four organizations in Brooklyn. These are: The Utica
Avenue, Rev. C. Howard Davis, pastor; the John Wesley, Rev. W. H. Hoople, pastor; Bedford
Avenue Church, Rev. G. E. Noble, pastor, and People's Church, Rev. W. H. Raymond, pastor.
"The Utica Avenue Church has a good church building, fairly commodious. It is here that the
annual meeting is to be held, from the 9th to the 14th of April. The other churches worship in rented
halls, but the John Wesley Church has just purchased an eligible corner lot, and is arranging to go

of gathering for the holiness hosts.

"Gratefully recognizing the merciful hand of God, in His overruling providences, and the

church.
"We therefore hereby call a meeting of their united delegated bodies, heretofore known as the
General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene, and the Annual Meeting of the Association of
Pentecostal Churches of America, to meet as one body, at the First Church of the Nazarene of
Chicago, Ill., October 10,1907, at 9 a. m.

Church of the Nazarene.
"J. H. NORRIS, Moderator,
Assn. of Pentecostal Churches of America."
In the same issue appeared a long account by Dr. Bresee of the proceedings at Brooklyn, from
