Three of her eleven Rectors have been made Bishops\\nover important Dioceses. She has long been as a cily set\\non a hill as to privileges. A goodly company have confessed\\nwithin her fold the faith of Christ crucified, and some who\\nmade this confession half a century ago are still spared to kneel\\nat her altars and enjoy her ministrations. The instruction which\\nher Sunday Schools provide, evinces her care for the young; and\\nher comparatively liberal contributions to Missionary and kindred\\nobjects have caused very excellent things to be spoken of her.\\nA knowledge of these circumstances led to the supposition that\\nthere might be some points in the history of this Church which, if\\nwrouf^ht into a connected narrative, would be of interest to those\\nwho had at any time belonged to the parish. With a view to an\\nattempt of the kind, application was made to the Rector, about\\ntwo years since, to ascertain what materials the records of the\\nChurch would supply. These were found on investigation much\\nless complete than was hoped, affording but little that could be\\nused beyond a list of communicants, and that very defective, or\\naltogether wanting, in the period preceding the year 1800. It\\nwas presumed, however, that much of the deficiency of official\\ndata might be made up from other sources, and especially by\\nindividual recollections, and it was therefore determined to\\nprosecute the undertaking,\u00e2\u0080\u0094 with little forethought, perhaps, as", "height": "3195", "width": "1886", "jp2-path": "stannschurchbroo00fish_0011.jp2"}, "12": {"fulltext": "IV PREFACE.\\nto the difficuliies of such a course for it is certain that none can\\nfully know or appreciate them, who liave not heen engaged in\\nsimilar labor.
