The movement of churches up town still continues, though thie year there are fewor churches to be buil (Chan is usual io this city. This may be due in some de {gree to the advance in the price of property; but the prin- @ipal reason undoubtedly is, that erocting religious edi tees ‘ep town has booa slightly overdone, as there are more Charches than their precincts can well support. year, when population has advanced further up the {sland, and streets become more crowded, we may look for an increase in the number of new churches. There Gre, however, several fine new ones about to be rected, end among them are the following — METHODIST CHURCH IN FOURTH AVENUE. The congre.ation which formoriy worshipped in the Mulberry street Methodist Episcopal church, aro about te erect a magnificent marble chapel at the corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-second street.

The chapel will be completed by fall, and the church by the following spring The little chapel the congregation now use has a history of its own. Itis a frame building and originally stood in the Fourth avenue, between Thirty-first and Thirty-second etreets, when it was 30 by 60 fect square, contained thirty pews, and had seats for 120 persons only. fwenty-one years ago the Rose Hu Fro estant Epircopal Calvary church worshipped there, and the house was subsequently re- moved to Fourth avenue and Twenty-second street, where additions were made tv it—an organ loft in front and a continuation in the rear, so that it accommodated 358 per- sous in eighty four pews.
