Strange Metamorphosis. We
notice from the New York papers
the sale of church in that city,
which appears to have gone thro
several remarkable changes. Ii was
built in 1912, on Murray ST., by a
Presbyterian congregation under
the paslorsilp of the celebrated DR..
Mason. The city moving up town,
as it is called, the edifce was also
taken down and moved up to the
Aslof Place. After a while DR.. Ma.
son died, and The great charm of lis
popularity was lost. 1t was then
sold under the hammer, and was af
terwards bought by an Episcopal
congregation. then again by the
Presoyterians, and then again by
Episcopalians, and last week it was
again sold 10 The Roman Catholics,
Bishop Hughes being the purchaser
for the sum of $33, 900.
