Music chimes heard by mountain folk for miles around sound the call to worship in a small church lo cated here on the site of an old saloon with a former bartender as its pastor. The strange history of the lit tle congregation in this southern West Virginia coal mining com munity parallels the life story of the Rev. Charles Ash. For years he served up drinks in the Coney Island saloon on the same property on which his church now stands. He also had a similar job in nearby Winona, and found time for a few mining enterprises, and for managing a grocery store. In 1922 his wife died, and a short time later fire destroyed his home. Then, he related, he saw the "error of his ways" and turned to the- church. He first conducted religious services for the 40 members of the . Pentecostal Church of God congregation in the old Glen Jean school. Another . fire scattered the membership in 1933. - . A year later. Ash accepted an offer to use as a church the old Coney Island saloon, which ori ginally was owned by his father before he was killed in a political argument on a Glen Jean street in 1917. , . First plans for the new and present building were formulated in the spring of 1946. The struc ture was completed and dedi cated last summer, with the mus ical chimes being added a few months later. . Today, the church has a mem bership of 115 and an average Sunday School attendance of 75. The minister's son-in-law is Sun day School superintendnt, while his daughter heads the Pente costal Young People's Associa tion. In all, Ash has 40 relatives who are members of his church.
