church is to be erected out of the ether

drawn up next Monday night, and a yes.

to be called st. Lazarus and Grace"
The basis of consolidation is as follows:
Mutual ownership Of property; mutual
responsibility for sl debts and liabilities;
services to be held in only one Of the
present church buildings on the same
day, unless the rector choose to conduct
the services himself. AS soon as the
consolidation shall have been entirely
completed one OF the church buildings
shall be permanently closed to all Epis.
copal service. The Rev. Mr.. Parsons
has already been elected temporary rec.
tor OF Grace church, and as being also
rector of St. Lazarus church, be will no
doubt be elected rector by the vestry of
the new church at the meeting next Mon.
day night, at which time it is expected
that all other details will be fully settled
The Rev. Mr.. Parsons will preach to both
congregations at Grace for the frat time
next Sunday morning at II o'clock.
