The erstwhile little stone church The event of much import to covered with picturesque ivy, which. stood at the junction of three hllls, on Fairfield avenue, one of the most at- tractive Spots in the old town, is to be converted into a more commodious edi- fice for the dwelling of the Lord. Trinity always was a beautiful picture on the exterior, but the interior was dark and not conveniently laid out. The new departure includes every- .thing for the comfort and convenience of the worshippers. The stone was laid with impressive ceremony by the bishop of the diocese, tev. Chauncey Bunce Brewster, assist- ed by the venerable arch-deacon. Chairs had been placed on the porch and lawn surrounding Mrs. Joseph S. Jennings property on Fairfield avenue, diiectly opposite the church, for the visiting cleigy and guests. Among those present were the Revs. C. M. Sel- leck. S. B. Bond, J. McClure Bellows, Alexander Hamilton and several from out of towu. The first ceremony was the filling The f01low- ing things were placed in it : Church records, a photograph of the old church and scaling of the stone. a prayer book, a diocesan journal and. copies of the local newspapers. Bishop Brewster made the principal address of the day. His address was lengthy, but interesting and encourag- ing. Rev. F. W. Norris, the pastor, followed with a history of the church from its inception on April 7, 1868: Offerings were then made and after a responsive prayer and singing by the choir the services closed. .
