THE CIRCLE.
"Circle". The object of the Association was to raise funds towards the building of a church and rectory. The payment of twenty-five cents quarterly, and personal attendance and services one afternoon weekly constituted membership. While the ladies met to work at their sewing, the gentlemen were also present and it was, what it is now called, a "Social Circle" and afforded some of the best and most pleasant society of the town, and many, who were not Church people, became members on that account.

JOHN DELAFIELD, JR., Secretary.
The following has been preserved in pencil; no doubt, the original draught of minutes.
At a meeting of members of, and persons friendly to, the Protestant Episcopal Church, at the house of Mr. H. Cozens, in Aurelius, Wash- ington County, on the Isth day of August, A. D. 1833, it -was moved, seconded, and resolved to organize a parish, to be in connection with the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Ohio, by the name of St. John's Church.
Moved, and agreed, to proceed to the election of a lay-reader, two wardens and three vestrymen : whereupon, Thomas Morris was elected lay-reader; Mr. Morris and Mr. Cozens, Wardens; David Avles, Henry Fairbrother and James Lloyd, vestrymen ; and Thos. Morris, Secretary.
( Appended to these minutes is the following, in the handwriting of the Rev. Mr. Wheat .;
List of Members confirmed.
Thos. Morris & Jane Morris. Hezh. Cozens. Henry Fairbrother - Elizh. Fairbrother. Thomas Fisher Mary & Sarah.
List of Members not confirmed.
Jonathan Morris.
The above constitutes the history of St. John's Parish, as a Parish ; it never had any recognition as such in the Diocese. At the present day, such a small congregation would hardly organize itself into a parish. St. Luke's, Marietta, when organized, was not much strong- er than St. John's, Aurelius, but its position in the town gave it oppor- tunity to grow. Mr. Wheat, in his report of 1534, says he officiated in Aurelius once in two months, and that during his absence there was lay-reading. The Sunday School at Aurelius numbered twenty-eight and the people were "about to ereet a commodious house for the two purposes of Divine Worship and a School."
If the congregations in Aurelius, Fearing and Union could have had the regular and continuous ministrations of a clergyman, they might in time have gained strength enough to make them permanent par- ishes, as the Church clement in them at the time of Mr. Wheat's min- istrations, was considerable. But after his departure nothing more is heard of them.

.
THE LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE.
According to the resolutions adopted by the Vestry, the work of building the church was undertaken, Capt. Todd having the superin- tendence of it. The site was then nothing but a sandy slope and there being very few houses about it and beyond it, above Seammel street, it was considered almost out of town. The building was familiarly called the Sand Hill Church and Todd's Church. The corner-stone was laid on the afternoon of August 20, 1833. Dr. Wheat says :
The order of ceremonies was printed and distributed throughout the large assemblage, (which included many people from the country, } and was very generally used in the reading of the selected psalms and singing the hymns, one of which was composed by Mr. Delafield, at that time looking forward to the Ministry.
The day was beautiful: the whole town turned out : the procession moved from the Lyceum, where we had been holding our regular ser- vices. There was no clergyman present but myself.
The corner-stone was laid at the north-east corner. Mr. Todd was an F. and A. Mason and was very particular to have it as in Solomon's Temple, at the North-East.
The Rector wore his robes on this occasion, as was his custom, whenever he appeared in his official capacity, in the sick room, or else- where.
The following is from the Marietta Gazette of Saturday, August 24, 1833 :
On the afternoon of Tuesday last, the corner-stone of the New. Epis- copal Church was laid. At half past five o'clock, the previous devotional exercises were celebrated at the Lyceum Hall, during which an Anthem was sung, which had been composed for the occasion by a gentleman of this town. The procession was then formed, and marched in the follow- ing order :
MARSHAL. CATECHUMENS. STUDENTS OF THE INSTITUTE. FACULTY. CITIZENS. CORPORATE AUTHORITIES.
CONGREGATION. VESTRY. ARCHITECT, (carrying proper instruments.) WARDEN, (Bearing the Deposites.) CLERGY.
On arriving at the building site, the procession opened to the right and left, when the Rector of the Parish, followed by the wardens, vestry and citizens generally, in reversed order, marched to their respective places, reciting alternately, an appropriate selection from the Psalms of David.
The "Gloria in Excelsis" was then chanted by the choir, after which, the Rev. Mr. Wheat, Rector of the Parish, delivered an address to the assembled congregation.
57
THE LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE.
The Corner Stone of ST. LUKE'S CHURCH was then laid. The ves- sel, to contain the deposite, received
1. A copy of the Bible.
2. A copy of the Book of Common Prayer.
3. The canons of the Church .- A list of the clergy in the U. S .- A memorandum of the Religious, Scientific, Literary and Be- nevolent Institutions of the Church.
4. A late number of the Gambier Observer, the Churchman, the Prot. Episcopalian, the Episcopal Recorder, the Episcopal Watchman, & the. Marietta Gazette.
5. A paper containing the Statistics of Ohio and of Marietta, by S. P. Hildreth, M. D.
6. Specimens of American coins and notes of the Bank of Marietta.
After which. it was hermetically sealed, and deposited in the cavity of the Corner Stone; this being immediately covered by another block of stone, hewn and squared for the purpose.
The Architect having adjusted the Stone, the Rector dedicated the same as follows:
"Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." We deposit here a copy of the Holy Scriptures-as containing all things necessary to salvation : and a copy of the Book of Common Prayer, as a testimony that the Church is to be built on a pure faith and a spiritual worship-In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost."
After prayer, a hymn was sung, which had been composed for the occasion, and the whole ceremony was closed by the Rector's pronounc- -ing the Apostolie Benediction.
The weather was fine, and a large assembly was convened. About five hundred persons were present.
An attempt was made on Tuesday night by some villain, or villains to rob the Corner stone of the deposite. We are happy to say the at- tempt proved unsuccessful.

Resolved, that the Rector be authorized to collect and receive con- tributions in money and books, which shall be a permanent stock, for the especial use of the Library.
Resolved, that the Parish shall be accountable for the books loaned, and that for the purpose of security, they be given in charge of a libra- rian to be let out, and returned agreeably to the general usage of other libraries :- those who draw books from the Library to be accountable to the Parish for any loss or injury, agreeably to rules and assessments made by the Library committee.
Resolved, that a committee of three of the Vestry be appointed by the Rector, or presiding Parish officer, annually, to be a Committee on the Library; to manage the same in conjunction with the Rector, and establish rules for the management of the same.
Resolved, that it is necessary and expedient to establish a Parish fund for the defraying of contingent expenses, the support of Parochial . charities, and the benevolent enterprises at large.

From an article on Marietta in the Marietta Gazette of Nov. 16, 1833.
The EPISCOPAL CHURCH is now being built on a commanding situ- ation in Seammel, corner of fourth streets, on the rise of ground as- cending to "the plain."
It is to be finished in the Grecian Dorie order; the front being a vestibule of ten feet projection, adorned by four massive fluted columns supporting a rich and heavy pediment. The size of it is 60 feet by 40. The building is of brick, which is to be stuccoed in imitation of marble, and the ascent to it will be a handsome flight of steps the whole width of the building.
The clergyman officiating is the Rev. Mr. Wheat.
Marietta Gazette, Saturday, Nov. 30, 13.
We are requested to say that the Rt. Rev. Charles P. Mellvaine, D. D., .Bishop of the Prot. Epis. Church, in the Diocese of Ohio, will officiate here today and tomorrow, at the usual hours for public worship.

BISHOP MCILVAINE'S FIRST VISIT.
Sunday, Dec. 1, 1833.
The rite of Confirmation was administered by the Rt. Rev. Chas. P. MeIlvaine, Bishop of Ohio, to
Danl. H. Buell, Esq. Eli B. Swearingen, Esq. B. Todd, Esq. Mrs. B. Todd.
Mrs. E. B. Swearingen.
Mrs. Mary Dodge. Miss Isabella Greene.
This was Bishop Mellvaine's first visit to the Parish.
Bishop MeIlvaine in his address to the Convention at Chillicothe, in September, 1834, says he came from Cincinnati to Portsmouth, "thence to Marietta, on Saturday night, November 30th (1833). The congrega- tion in this place being without a church, though they had advanced considerably in the erection of one, I preached once, on Sunday, De- cember 1st, in the Library Room, their usual place of worship, and twice in the Presbyterian church. Seven persons were confirmed in the morning. The next day -was given to the visiting of the families, and the evening to a meeting with many in a private house, for prayer and familiar exposition of Scripture. A new church, in very good taste, was nearly ready to be covered, and is expected to be ready for conse- eration this fall. From Marietta I set out on the third of December for Steubenville."
PAROCHIAL REPORT OF 1833. St. Luke's Church, Marietta-Rev. J. T. Wheat
Reports to the Bishop the following statistics: 19 families; 53 adults; 37 infants baptized : 13 unbaptized ; 23 confirmed ; 29 admitted to the Communion, 22 of whom were admitted by the present Rector; 40 catechumens; 1 funeral, infant.
This year St. Luke's paid $1.00 assessment for Convention expenses and was assessed $3.00 for 1834.
The work of building the church seemed likely to stop for lack of funds with which to carry it on, and the Reetor made a journey to the east for the purpose of raising the necessary money, but as he says, "got little more than the amount of his traveling expenses." He gave a re- port of his journey to the vestry on February 5, 1834, as will be seen by the minutes, and on a subsequent page, he tells how the money was raised for finishing the church.
On his return, this notice was inserted in the Marietta Gazette of February 1, 1834 :
"The Rev. J. T. Wheat, Rector of St. Luke's Church, will preach on tomorrow at the usual hours of divine service."
