Original Toronto Star caption: Interest is revived in Oakville Negro church. With only two members of its small congregation employed, the African Methodist Episcopal Church at Oakville is having a hard struggle for existence, but the pastor, Rev. C. P. Jones, who took charge last fall, sees signs of a spiritual revival in his flock. The photographs above show: (1) Mrs. Lillie A. P. Jones, wife of the pastor and superintendent of the Sunday school; (2) the A.M.E. church in the west end of Oakville; (3) Rev. C. P. Jones ; (4) and (5) are Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Adams, 83 and 87 years old, respectively, who are the oldest members of the church. Mrs. Adams' father, Rev. W. J. Butler, was one of the early pastors of the church, and Mr. Adams' father was one of the founders.
