RsorErrxe on ROCK CRxKx CHvRoH.-
The repairs which, for some time past, have
been In progress at Rock Creek church hav-
Ing been entirely completed, the church was
yesterday reopcned with appropriate services
under charge Of the pastor, Rev. Dr.. Buck.
The attendance was quito large, and among
the congregation were noticed very many
representatives from the old families Of the
District, as well az many citizens who have
made their advent In our midst within the
past few years.
Rock Greek church Ia ono Of the few
s'rclics Of ancient days" lcn In this vicinity,
and among those present ut the service yes
terday we heard many expressions Of regret
that any change should have been made In
the structure. But In the ''march Of i'm
provement" old4ime memorials are made to
disappear and handsome modern structures
greet our sight. Such has been the case with
Rock Creek church.
The building was fret erected In i7l9-one
hundred and my years ago-the bricks which
form the walls having been brought from
England. In 1770 Il was rebuilt, and re-
mained In the same condition as then until
last year, when the ladies Of Rock Creek
parish, having conceived the idea that their
old church building was ''behind the times, T"
made an effort, and, with the assistance Of
their male friends, raiscd a sufficient fund to
phy lor tnt improvements Whhch nhNe pcch
made. Among other improvements we men
tlon the following;
The entrance 10 the church has been
changed from the west to the south front Of
the edifice. The windows have been cut
down, and handsome stained glnss adorns
the sash. An addition has been built TO form
a chancel, on the north side Of the building,
and the arrangement Of the pews has been
entirely changed, so as TO correspond with
tho change Of entrance and the chancel.
Tho services yesterday were peculiarly In
teresting and appropriate, and we have no
doubt that the Improvement which has been
made will have the effect Of Increasing the
power for good Of the church and congrega-
tion.
II little more care should now be be-
slowed upon the grounds Of the graveyard
adjoining the church the edihcc will present
much more inviting appearance than at
