Widmer the Fenn Street church was saved to the society. A sympathetic and hopeful friend in adversity, he appears to have been none the less positive and determined. It is related of him that one Sun- day, having opened the services by observing that he would not continue to occupy the pulpit until certain minor payments had been made for the care of the building, he immediately picked up his hat and went home. The astonished congregation at once contributed enough money to pay the bills, and M...r. Widmer in a few minutes resumed the pulpit. In order to reduce, or even to carry, the construction debt, great personal sacrifices were needed, sacrifices declared by the older members of the society to be incomprehensible to a later generation. These self-denials Mr. W'idmer was able to inspire. When he left Pittsfield, in 1880, the church had crossed the Slough of Despond in which, two years before, he had found it struggling. One-half of the debt had been wiped out, and the current expenses had been squarely met.
