This building, one of the ancient orna-
menls of the city, so very carefully preser-
we'd and so highly estimated, was commen-
ced to be built in 1929, and completed
in 1894.
The design Of the edlfce and steeple
which was first placed upon it, was furnish
ed by Doctor John Kedrsley, Senior, who
gave also the architectural character to
Christ Church.
ln l771, the wood work frame at the
base of the steepIe was discovered to be
decayed, and it was deemed prudent that
il should be taken down, so that small
befry was Jeff to cover the bell. 1t was
finished with small spire in the centre,
with vane 10 this way the brick base
ment for the steepe remained until 1929,
when the present one was placed upon it,
which is as much like the original as cir.
cumstauces would permit.
There are some facts connected with
the bell set up in the steeple, which to
say the least OF them, are very eXtraOr.

Introduction of the Declaration of IndCpcn-
dGnCC into the llOnSC of Congress in l776.


The Declaration of Independence was
moved in The House OF Congress on Friday
the 7lh June, l776 by Richard Henry
Lee, from Virginia, and seconded by John
Adams but it was agreed that neither of
the names should be entered as such on
the minutes. A variety Of resolutions was
discussed on that day, and on Saturday
the Slh, and Monday the 10Th.
On the 10th, Congress resolved itself
into a committee Of the whole 10 take the
matter into further consideration. 1t was
thcn-Resolyed: TO appoint a committee
10 prepare Declaration of Independence,
to be ready in a case that Congress should
agree thereto.
The Declaration 10 be in effect:
"That these United Colonies are, and
" of right ought TO be, Tree and independ-
" ent States--Thal they are to be absolv-
" ed from all allegiance 10 the British
" crown, and that The political connection
" between them and the state of Great
" Britain is, and ought TO be, totally dissol-
we'd"
Richard II Lee, in consequence of the
illness OF his wife, was called 10 Virginia !;
and Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben.
iamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and
Philip Livingston were appointed com
millee; and Congress adjourned the sub,
iecl TO Monday, the lst day fully.
The immediate advocate Of its adoption
was Richard Henry Lee.
Thomas Jefferson drew up the Declara-
lion, which is in his hand writing. 1t is
altered in several places by John Adams
aud Benjamin Franklin, as appears in
their hand writing on the original draft.
Two copies were made out Of the whole,
exactly allke-onc of them was for Con
gross, the other was sent to Richard Hen
ry Lee.
On Thursday, the 9TH July, the Declar-
alton OF Independence was carried in Con.
gress, in the eastern room of the main
building Of the State House at PhiIadel
