J. G. Armstrong. D. the successor of Rev.

Dr. Woodbridge, gave much encourage? ment to the object, and the or" Mon? umental Church, composed of nearly all of the male members of the congrega? tion, succeeded in securing the lot and the old wooden building thereon, at the corner of Grace and Aladison streets, and with the full approval co-operation of the Vestry' Alonumental Church, the property was purchased and the old building was internally arranged to be used as a chapel. were held therein, principally rt ntght, for a number of years, till the late Ligne Rev.

CALLED A RECTOR. Just before its at a meeting of the congregation of Alonumental Church, presided over by the late Newton, then it was deemed wisest and best that a separate church be made of this (then) new work, and in the fall of 1SSS a'new congregation, composed of-only about twenty-hve per sons, old youn? organized, with the necessary committee, in place of a vestry, and called as "-ector Rev.
