OLD pOHlCK CHURCH.
The Structure Is still in a Good State of
Preservation.

A recently published statement that
nothing remains of the old Pohick church.
Fairfax county. Va, for which George
Washington drew plans for It's rebuilding
IN 1873. and the statement that IN
lonely, simple way the poor folk WITHIN
fifty miles of the place all gather 70 the
spot" nnd celebrate Washlngton's blrtn-
day, caused considerable surprise 10 the
residents in the neIgnborhood OF the OLD
church.
Rev. Samuel A. Wallis. rector of the old
church. writes to the Washington S'dr aS
follows respecting the publication referred
70:
This statement is entirely erroneous.
The POhick church for which George
Washington drew plans Is still standing
firmly on lts foundations. The solid walls;
lS inches thick, are so we'll constructor
that they will defy for many generations.
we trust, the inroads of time. lhe eXte-
rior of the church presents the same ap-
pearance it did when Washington drove up
TO 10 regularly on Sundays IN his FAMOUS
coach. The interior suffered severely
during the late war. All the woodwork
was destroyed except the cornlce, when
IS the only interior work still existing
from Washingtons time. The root was
left IN rulnous condition after the war
but the old timbers are stlll there, we'll
protected bv = covering of good shingles.
About eighteen years ago the church was
put IN good repair, though not restored 10
its original interior appearance. through
the kindness Of a gentleman then living III
New York city. Much needs to be done
10 restore the church 70 its former an
tique interior. but 1t is comfortable and
properly cared for.
II have been rector of the church for
the last eleven years and halt. during
that period service has been held every
SUNDAY throughout the year, with a good
and increasing congregation IL regular at
tendance. Besides this there IS large
Sunday school of about seyenty-hye chil-
dren. meeting before church every
SUNDAY. both winter and summer.
There are eight vestrymen at pres
