On the 20th of May, 1855, the corner-stone was laid by Mr. Vinton,
in the presence of a large assembly. The building was to be 60
by 70 feet—two stories high; the lower part being designed for a
school-room and the upper part for church services. It was built of
brick, and admirably adapted for the use for which it was designed.
It serves the purposes not only of the mission, but also as an
assembling place for special meetings and general conventions. The
Rangoon Karen Mission was at that time the largest in Burmah, and
the building was precisely what was needed to meet the various
wants of the many interests which centred at that point. Now, after
more than twenty-five years, “Frankie’s Chapel” still stands as a
monument to the consecration and faith of the poor old Suffield
woman, who chose rather to provide for the cause of her Master than
to enjoy the comfort and warmth that had been intended for herself.
But it happened to her as everyone might have supposed it would
have happened; she did not have to go unclad, either, for good
people, learning of her charity and self-denial, provided her with
the “warm dress” and such other consolations as she richly merited.
