Cutler, ar- rived August 31, 1854, and continued his ministrations without intermission until June 1, 1859, at which time he resigned his charge and left for New York. The Rev. John A.

It is one of the most beautiful structures our city con- tains, and is remarkable for the purity of its archi- tectural design and its interior beauty.

Bellows, of All Souls Church, New York, President of the Sanitary Commission, and one of the most distinguished and influential ministers of the denomination, responded to an earnest call from the society, and left New York within a few weeks to fill the pulpit thus va- cated, for a perlod of six months.
