Church at Kingsville, 18th district, has been
repaired and the congregation is now occupy
ing the venerable edihce The furnace in the
new building has also been thoroughly over
hauled and renovated at cost OF more than

St. Johns Parish, of which Rev. ]. Worrall
Larmour is the present rector, goes back to
Colonial times, when Joppa, at the mouth of
the Gunpowder, was the principal port of en-
try, and is regarded as the Oldest parish in the
State. As a proof of this assertion it enjoys
the income from $1,000, which was left by
jeremiah Eaton to whichever parish in the
diocese could prove its claim 10 being the
oldest. Originally located at Joppa, the church
building has been transferred from time to
time until it occupies its present location on
the old Belair turnpike, near the Emile stone.
