St Mark's, Editor of the Herald: Some of us who view with the removal of old landmarks will distinctly feel the loss of little St. AMark’s church which has been S0 long a time a power for good in our city. For years this building with its tistic interior was looked upon as the most attractive place of worship here as compared with the plainer struc- tures of other denominations, and many of us not members of St. Mark's made a point of inviting our city friends when visiting here to enjoy with us the impressive service of this church. Those of us regret who remember the Reverend Mr. Russell. so spiritual in appearance as to remind of the well-known picture of Good Shepherd,” can still hear the deep, musical voice as it intoned the serv- ice to the delight and inspiration of ch worshipper. Could one ever forzel the thrilling impressivene of it as when leaving a mourning procession’ Mr. TRussell moved down the aisle intoning the words. “1 am the rection and the Life"? Une could well be leaving at times his own place worship in order to drink in tones of the matchless Vvoice glorified the service. Mr. ltussell once remarked parishioners that it not do for him to put the in- of feeling into his rveading of which he was capable, as it would have a tendcney to make a dramatic performance of the sacrved servics; but even =o. he could not at will les- n ihe mpathetic golden quality of his tones nor disguize the unusual spiritual appearance which empl sized the impressivenes It would seem a matter for regret to have the interior woodwork of St. Marvk's destroved, as il represents many hours of hard work, and is still attractive in appearance Tt was planned by one of inal vestrymen. Mr. John B, Parsons, whose workmen carried out the de- sign entirely by hand thus adding to its value elie of days gone by. One way of saving Sh. Mark's would be to move the building further out upon West Main strect, perhaps half a mile, its services continuing during the building of the proposed new church. As some spared for number of find the long one he LRest for of the that pardoned to one would tensity the orig- 1S o could be future use for a large West Iind residents who distance to the central churches too much of a tax upon their strength or as a Sunday school for small children. Several ugo the ing a church in the West End vicini- ty was discussed. and without doubt, it will some day materialize, but with present difticulty attending the work of building it would seem that a church as well put tozether St Mark's should be utilized in some way.

The book shows that cash down was not the rule in his duy and that his work was largely paid for in labor team, horse and wagon, provisions and in other ways. The. prices here siven for bools and shoes are for custom made work. At that time, ready made koots and shoes could have been bought for about half or two-thirds the prices which he charge.

The prices during that decade are about the same' ds they had been from 1836 to 1850. On the “‘debter” side of the several ccounts we find hoots for men charged at $3.00. S T $3.50 and $4.00.
