It seems that in the early part of the year 1892, a few Episcopalians held service in Raynor's Hall in Mer¬ rick Road, near Main Street.

walls were made of a rough white sand and mortar. A large Thatcher furnace was placed in the cellar, with one very large heating pipe, coming up lo the centre aisle of the church, and kept the church warm in the cold winter. Four large oil lamps lighted the church. Eighteen long, yellow benches supplied the seating capa¬ city. A small wooden altar was placed at the chancel end of the church. Above the altar hung a painting called "The Ascension of Our Lord." This was painted on canvas by Mrs. Em- ack, one of the parishioners, in Aug¬ ust, J895.
"The same year, Canon Henry B. Bryan was placed over the mission. Also in this year, the Bishop appoint¬ ed the first committee of the church —namely: S. Gildersleeve, president; C. W.

In addition to the "trios" there were three Malone "boys" and three Lynch's whom we have on our Roll of Honor, brothers in each case, but their records not being at hand, no particu¬ lar mention can be made of them. Franklin Malone was in the Navy avi¬ ation as a cadet at the Bay Shore sta¬ tion; George A.

November 1, 1896. Rev. James R. Smith was the first minister to re¬ ceive the appointment as resident clergy at $60 per month. The parish¬ ioners gave Rev. Mr. Smith a recep¬ tion at the residence of Mr. Tredwell on December 23, 1896.
On January 1, 1897, the following committee was appointed by the Bish¬ op for one year: C. W. Oley, Rowland H. Mayland, Vfilbur F. Tredwell, Charles F. Allee and C. B. Finch. Mr. Finch, Secretary; Mr. Mayland, Treas¬ urer.
The officers of the first Guild were: President, Mrs. Andrew J. MacLean; Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. C. W. Oley. Everything that the Guild un¬ dertook was always successful. The Guild purchased a Mason & Hamlin organ at a cost of $500. Through so¬ cial entertainments, cake sales, fairs, etc., working day and night in the in¬ terest of the church, in securing mon¬ ey for its support, the Guild saw the chureh safely through the stormy days of its first launching and it can be safely said that had it not been for the support and courage, and inspira¬ tion of this chosen band, the church would never have made port in any¬ thing like a healthy condition. Spe¬ cial mention is due to Mrs. R. H. and MisS Bessie Mayland for their beau¬ tiful work in making hangings, of rave design and texture, for the altar.
