Reverend Sir, I have the honor to acquaint you, for the information of the General Committee of the Church Society of the Arch- deaconry of New Brunswick, that since the lest Annual Meet- ing, the sum appropriated by the Society to aid in building a Chapel at New Maryland, in the Parish of Fredericton, has been drawn from the hands of the Treasurer, the inhabitants of that place having erected the building, and complied with the conditions of the Society. The Committee will, no doubt, be gratified to learn that owing to their timely assistance, the people of this Settlement who have long endeavoured, but in vain, to rear a house of prayer, for themselves and their children, have now the satis- faction of worshipping in a building dedicated exclusively to the service of the Almighty. The Chapel is a plain structure, sufficiently large to ac- commodate the congregation for some years to come, and when painted, will be fully completed and ready for con^ secration. The efforts made in the neighbouring Parish of Kingsclear to advance the cause of our holy religion will not be viewed with indifference by the Committee. A few individuals there, by great exertions and at considerable expense, (aided by the contributions of their fellow Churchmen elsewhere) have suc- ceeded in erecting and in nearly finishing a neat and faithfully built Church, large enough to contain two hundred and fifty hearers. As the seats in it are free, and it is considered expedient that for a time they should continue to be so, and as the ex- penses thus necessarily become burdensome to the Church- men in the Parish, the local Committee, when contributing their mite to the funds of the Society, have ventured to re- commend their Chu' h to its most lavourable consideration, and I doubt not that the Committee will give that attention to their recommendation, which their zeal in the good cause so well deserves. It were almost invidious, where many have done well, to mention the name of any individual in particular, but I cannot permit the present opportunity to pass, without expressing the opinion, that to the indefatigable industry and perseverance of Charles Lee, Esquire, the Parishioners of Kingsclear are mainly indebted for the creditable edifice, in which they now assemble to worship the God of their fathers on the Sabbath day. I have the honor to be. Reverend Sir, Your most obedient servant, J. M. STIRLING. The Parish Church of Kingsclear is forty feet in length and twenty eight in breadth ; it has already cost three hundred and twenty pounds; and when finished, the expenses will pro- bably amount to nearly four hundred pounds. The Chapel at Maryland is large enough to accommodate seventy persons — and has cost seventy five pounds. To Rev. F. Coster, Secretary*
