payers to attend the vestry and elect "a church-

occasion. asking that they would alloW them • month
for doing so. He would tell them that it was
gratifying foot that Ave-sixths of the rate had been
collected, thus showing that it had not been received
in the parish so bad aa was expected. He concluded

and ornamented with dowers, and the windows
were ornamented with devices made ef the name
material. In front of a raised dias at the upper
