Christ Church, in this county. is curiosity vel
| worth seeing. The records OF the parish extend
back two hundred and eleven years, according u
Bishop Meade, but the present building was
erected in 1892. II has not been much used fol
some years on account Of its isolated situation
and the bad condition Of the roads in winter. But
Notwithstanding this fact and the injury done e
IL by both parties during the war II is still sound
| in the main II is crucform. The roof In very
| steep and the exterior somewhat ornamented
around the doors and windows. Around the vene
rable building lie the still more venerable dead Of
two centuries.
Entering the church the first thing that strikes

high and enclosed on all sides, each one being, in
fact q box with seats on three sides. This ar
rangement makes il impossible to see anything Of
ones neighbor, even when standing up, except
the top Of the head. However. If the congregation
couldn't see one another they could see the
clergyman. Indeed, IL they had mind TO do so
they could survey him AN around by an occasiona

weight Of the bowl or by violence. The origina
plastering is still on the roof and walls, uninjure
save where discolored by few leaks in the ROOT
which has been only twice repaired. and is no,
in good order. The floor Is Of stone. and In Oh
