rectorship of St. Johns parish, Chevy

church secured one Of the most valuable
and commanding sites in the park being
a half block of ground at the corner of YER
million avenue and 7th street On this site,
about eighteen months ago, commodiouS
temporary church was erected, the rector
drawing the design and personally super
intending it's erection, by which he is said
to have saved the church about $500 on the
lowest contractors price. The property
held by Trinity Church is estimated to be
worth from 81 900 to $4,000, on which there
is comparatively small incumbrance. AT
the last confirmation, in April, Mr.. Griffith
presented a class Of twenty-three. 1t is UNI
derStood that for the present Mr.. Griffith
will continue to reside In the Park.
