He rojoiced to bo present and bo able to view the site. 1o had groat ranson to bo thankful for the nid given bim in aayy past by Dr. Lverts and tho First Church. He iheroforo watched 1hoir movemonts after tho burning of the Wi~ bosh avenus church with much concern. Tis idea was that colonization was better than rousolidution, for thore was _really more strougth acquired thereby. Peopla wore going to build one great church in Jortun- Jom, to whiich ull should go to pray. But God drove thom out. 'L'menty yonrs ugo, if ono ex- pressed tho opinion thnt a churels would aver bo erocted on this sito, he would Uo considered n lunatic, on gonoral principles, Even now, many might think 1t o wild schomo, but ton yoars hence it will bo soen that thoy could not havs choson a botter sito, Now churches wore aricing in all directions, On his way to the ceromony, ho stepped into Trinity Chureh, and wab much struck with the beauty of ita decorations, He trusted that succoss would attend tho wauly ef- forts of tho pnstor and his pooplo.
