This is a small brick edi6ce erected by a
gentleman named Wood, whose property
interests lie in the vicinity, and who has
heart for something besides accumula-

suburb, which is as yet sparsely built up,
and really, very few people within easy
reach OF the little meeting-house How.

to the seaside, leaving everything to us To

thorough sympathy with our gospel, inclu-

a blessed ingathering Of the poor. We do
not know how the LORD will put in the
