was the one occupied by Rev. Father

other than the amount of money men
toned. The burglars must have work
ed very quietly, as the reverend gem

before departing they lighted all the

OBITU1RY NOTES.
Death of Charles E. Corwin.

The death of Charles P. Corwin, of 74 Kensington street. has cast shadow of gloom over large number of friends and associates in church, business and social circles. MT. Corwin was taken i'll with symptoms indicating typhoid fever about seven weeks ago. In few
 days the typhoid symptoms were un-
 mistakable. Strong hopes, however,
 were had for his recovery until few
 days before his death, when the disease
 developed a more dangerous form and
 medical skill was unable to arrest the
 rapid progress of the disease. Death
 canie to his relief about midnight of
 Friday May IF.
 MT. Corwin had been a member of the
 First Presbyterian church of this city
 for about ten years. He was ordained to the eldership of the church about eight years ago, and had justly sustain ed reputation of noble devotion to all it's interests His loss to the church can hardly be estimated He will be missed by large circle of business ac- quaintances in this city and elsewhere. For some time before coming to New Haven he had been secretary of the International Y. M. c. A. in New York city. He was also a director in the Cal vary Industrial home and treasurer of the Mount Carmel home, and at one time secretary of the Gounod Musical society, filling all these positions with a painstaking fidelity to the smallest details. Until quite recently he was of the Chamber of Commerce. He was a man of keen, strong con- science and bold in any position he felt to be right; man of large heart and ready to sacrifice himself for another's interests without reserve and with no regret A good, humble, de- voted Christian, a pure, high-souled man, has been taken from our midst. MT. Corwin leaves devoted wife, lov- ing parents and brother to mourn his loss.
 The funeral services will be held in the Presbyterian church, corner of Or ange and Elm streets tomorrow morn ing at Il o'clock.

INTERESTING HISTORICALLY
Christ Church, West Haven-Its An
 cient Fdif1ce,

OllIlSL SuuICIl, w tSI IldVGI-llS AIl-
 cient Edifce.
 The two hundredth anniversary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, to be observed this week in New Haven and in Connecticut generally, will turn the attention of Episcopalians afresh to the historical parish of Christ church, West Haven, and to the inter- esting place of worship which still stands at the corner of the green.
 The present building was commenced in the year 1739. The original subscrip- tion list, with the statements of the amount of rum, molasses, mutton, etc., consumed at the raising, is still extant. Additions have from time to time been made, but if the tower the chancel, the side aisle and the west end of the nave were taken away the original structure would still remain as the oldest Epis- copal church in Connecticut, if not the oldest church building of any kind in the state.
 The formation of the parish dates back to 1723, four years after the incor- poration of the West Haven Congrega- tional society. The parish of Stratford alone in the diocese antedates it. West Haven Is very likely exceptional in hav- ing the first two ministers of the Con- gregational church the first two minis ters of the Episcopal church. The par ish is the mother parish in this region, and for many years New Haven was enthusiastically dependent on West Ha- ven.
 These facts are gleaned from a ser mon preached by the present rector of St. Paul's church at the one hundred and sixtieth anniversary of the build ing of Christ church, West Haven. The sermon is now printed in booklet form for distribution among parishioners and those interested in the church and parish.
