Christehureh, May 17, 1864. 3062 CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH," CHRISTCHUIICH. NEW PLACE OF- WORSHIP. FIIHE following, statement is earnestly commended ; X to the attention and sympathy ot all who are interested in the property of the Church of Christ. : The services of . the-Church , and Congregation under the pastoral care of the Rev. W. J. Habens, 8.A,, have hitherto been held in Mr. Borinington's Hall. That property has' recently changed hands; and the term/during which, by the- kindness of the new owner, the use of it is continued to : the Church, will expire with the month*of July. It appears impossible to hire another suitable room. The Church is therefore under, the necessity of building for itself. . . . • It is intended to. ercct a place of worship on a portion of an eligible site which has been secured at the junction of Worcester and Manchester [streets. Accommodation js- to be provided, for upwards of 400 persons. If, after a time, this shall prove insufficient. the building now . proposed can be appropriated to the Sabbath-school, and a larger place erected on the remainder of the land. The estimated cost of the building in stono or brick is £1,160, This demand upon the resources of the Church is at once so unexpected and so imperative that an appeal for help is very confidently made tQ all who desire to promote the knowledge of Divine Truth. The gentlemen whose names follow have kindly undertaken to receive subscriptions. MR. FARR, "Lichfield street. MR. GEE, Colombo street. MR. JAMESON, Hereford street. MR. LEWIS, Cookham House.
