New Rector for Historic sditice Fhat Dates

The Rev. Hugh Mcdonald Martin of
West Ptint, Va, has accepted call to
Old Trinity, longer known as '.the
Church in Dorchester Parish, Md.
Sunday afternoon Mr. Martin ofiloiated
at the first service of his incumbency in
the venerable old edifice, which many
times since its erection, 1866 1862. has
stood silent amidst silent congregation
Of the dead, storm beaten and 6esolate
aye, and at one time even deseorated
as shelter for stray cattle and sheep.
In the year 1858 the building WAS re-
stored and oonseorated anew by the
name of Trinity Church, +" Dorchester
Parish.
Uncertainty still surrounds the year
in which the church was built, but
that 1T was paying tithes TO the Bishop
of London in 1862 is matter of record
in England. Tradition in the county
gives two datea--dne 1866, the other
1862, as the year In which the church
was built. The consensus OF prouf

toward tho earlier ds'e. 1t was evil

Standing near the banks of the
