New Church at Fallston.-On Sunday
last, in response to warmly expressed senti-
ment on the subject, it was definitely decided
to erect chapel for new Protestant Epsco-
to be associated with that of Upper Falls, with
Rev. J. W. Larmour as rector. Rev. g: Nose
" Murray, missionary assistant to Bishop
Paret, was present to lend aid and counsel
from q canonical standpoint. The chapel will
be erected near the site of the old Moore store
building in old Falston the ground having
been donated by Mr.. George W. Evans, for
merly of the Pikesville Dairy Company, who
now owns the tract. The improvement will
cost $4,000 and 81 100 has already been raised.

pending the erection of their own structure the
new congregation is using by invitation the old
Quaker Meeting House, which has been place
of worship for over one hundred and fifty
years.
About 1850 the great grandfather of the late
Garrett Amoss, carrying out the poets theme
that 1.-THE groves were Gods first temples"
assembled his brethren in the beautiful grove
of oaks which cover this yard and here they

This was later replaced with stone meeting
house and about 1850 the present house
was erected. The new congregation has made
a most startling innovation in the shape OF
cottage organ. these sacred walls having never
before been desecrated by sounding brass or
tinkling cymbal." ALI of which goes to show
that the world is moving on and in no way is
