along the route through Somerville and Medford. The way to Arlington was along the line of least resistance, longer but more level and also crooked. Each story was carried separately by a six-horse team, crossing the river by Auburn street and Usher bridges to the new edifice of Calvary church (Methodist Episcopal) on Massachusetts avenue. There by means of a big spar derrick it was reassembled upon the church tower. This new structure, although of wood, in form and outline resembles King's Chapel of Boston. The latter, erected before Bulfinch's time, never had any surmounting turret or spire. But it is said that Bulfinch designed one for it, and also the colonnade around the tower which was later added thereto. A colonnade is a feature of the new Calvary church. At somebody's suggestion, the owners of the brewery, interested in its preservation, presented it to the church society, and according to the architect's plan it now forms a part of a pleasing and harmonious design.

ble tablet giving its history is to be placed on the new structure. There should be one. An old saw reads something like this: All things come to them that wait. Arlington (centre) has waited long for a church, i.e., meeting-house, of this particular denomination. Fifty years ago its adherents made a beginning, holding services in the town hall, continuing such for six years. (The writer has distinct remembrance of preparing plans of a somewhat smaller structure than the present in 1875.) The effort was unsuccessful and the society disbanded two years later. Forty years later the effort was renewed and success made possible by a co-operation not existent in the older days. Then every tub had to stand on its own bottom, and in this case cited, the bottom insecure. Today the Methodist Centenary and City Missionary and Church Extension Society are helpful factors not to be lightly esteemed. Eight thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars is quite an assistance in a church
