I heard their speeches advocating this course with great pleasure, as I lived in the eastern part of the city, had a long distance to go to attend church, and nearly all the workmen in my employ lived in the same section.

The church which I have mentioned as the only one located east of the centre, was in a very prosperous condition.

By the talent, popularity and piety of its minister, as his church and congregation believed, he had filled the church to overflowing.

There were no slips to be bought in that church.

We heard this minister say that he could spare thirty families from his congregation to build up a new church.
