With the tenacity, perseverance and enthusiasm of Dr. Tayler in carrying to a successful conclusion the plans upon which he set his heart when first he entered upon his ministry among us, we are all familiar. The church was restored8 as we see it today, and re- opened for service on January 7, 1906, with added evidences9 on all sides of the love of its loyal friends and supporters. The parish house was completed1° six years later, and the Sunday school and choir," through the untiring efforts and personal supervision of our rector, may now be said to enjoy the greatest recorded degree of prosperity. When we add to the record of achievements of the past thirteen years, the building of the new rectory, completed12 on December 10, 1914, the fact that of late years the parish has met the demands from every source with responses, in many cases far in excess of its allotments, and that withal (a possibility far too remote to have had a place in the original vision) the parish is entirely free from indebtedness,13 we have a record of accomplish- ment that should ever be a source of congratulation to Dr. Tay- ler14 and a cause of just pride to all who have played their pa - its creation.
And now after one hundred and sixty years, St. George's Church stands as one of the few remaining whose history is closely inter-

woven with the beginning of religious life on our continent. Beau- tiful in architecture, every line is reminiscent of earlier and sim- pler times, and within is that sense of quiet repose which is the old church's greatest charm.
The years have rolled by and one by one have passed on those who have worshipped here, yet ever present seem their struggles, their hopes, their prayers, and thus the memory of the past reaches out into the hope of the future and makes a day that is endless.
