New Congregation in Reform Church

At a meeting held Friday evening above Folz's store a new church was founded, to be known as the Third Christian Reformed Church.  This church was formed on behalf of the young people of the congregations, who do not understand the Holland language, which is spoken exclusively in the other two churches of the same denomination in Kalamazoo.

About 100 members withdrew from the original churches and were present at the meeting to assist in starting the new church.
