Chillisoua0ue PRESBYTERIAN Church.

Of the new church edifce erected by the
Presbyterian congregation of ChillisquaqueI
and although the day was rendered very
disagrceable by the heavy torrents of rain
which fell incessantly, yet at an early hour
the house was filed. How some Of us were
reminded of a congregation but a few miles
distant, meeting on a similar occasion, aud
on day alike rainy, when the beloved
Pastor, II. II. Eittenhouse,] fell fell,
did l say nay, God took him. The cxer
ciscs were conducted in spirited and
solemn manner The sermon was preach
ed by Rev. DIR. Ycomans, of Danvillc.
Prayer was offered by DR.. Yeomans and
Rev Mr. Barr before sermon, and Rev.
lIr. Patterson after sermon. Mr.. Barber,
the present Pastor, made statement Of
the financial affairs of the church, in which
he stated that the reason no collection was
taken, was because they did not need it, as
the church was free from debt. Accord
ing to the statement of the Pastor, there
had been a church erected on the same
ground before the Revolutionary War,
which had been burnt by the Indians
Soon after the War Presbyterian ccngre-
CATION, called by the name they still bear,
was organized, and it is remarkable that
their first Pastor, the Rev. John Bryson,
is still living, at the advanced age of near
one hundred years. After the statement
by the Pastor, the choir sung Jerusalem,
my happy home" The exercises were
delightful. The house is commodious and
sufficiently large, seating about $50 per
sons. 1t is now "the house of God )" and
may it prove to multi.udes, "the gate of
hcaven."-O. s. Presbyterian Banner.
