MANY MINOR MATTERS

II now leaks out tndI tne uupledSdntneSS
which exists between Grace and Christ
churches originated through a discussion as
to the proper manner to dispose of the s. 600
left the former by the will of Miss Go, .gh,
who died about one year ago. 1t vas DR..
Stuarts idea to have a committee COM
posed OF two members of Grace and two CT
Christ Church appointed with himself as
chairman or president and the vestry turn
over all control Of the money to them, but
as those who manage Grace Church thought
that would amount to a turning over of the
money absolutely to Christ Church to do
with 1T as they saw fit Dr. Stuart having
the power to cast the deciding vote in case
of tie), the vestrymen refused to sign the
paper that had been drawn up.
This nettled the doctor and on the conclu-
sion or a warm speech he rendered his resig-
nation as rector of Grace. and ever since
has devoted his time exclusively to Christ
Church, his larger charge.

that Grace need no longer bow to the die
tates OF Christ Church, as she is sufficiently
strong now to walk without the assistance
of any one. 1t is said that some years ago
the principal worshipers of ST. john Epis-
copal Church. Georgetown. contributed s. 800
toward the building of a rectory for the use
of the minister in charge of Grace to be
turned over whenever the beneficiary had
collected two-thirds of that amount. The
loo is now said to be on hand, and steps
will be taken after September to get pos
been in charge Of the Christ Church vestry
for nearly fifteen years. and had 1t been
