" From the organization of the Monumental Church congregation until its removal to St. Paul's Church, the successive Governors of Virginia, (two only excepted, I think,) habitually attended, with their families, the Monumental Church.

" The Monumental Church Sunday-school was
commenced in 1817. It was the first Sunday-school established in Richmond. About the time of its commencement my business became embarrassed, so that I could not for several years take an active part in its support.
"I think the school was commenced with Mr. Aymar as superintendent, in the rooms over the vestry room of the church; it was afterwards re- moved to a wing of the Powhatan house, now Ford's Hotel. I was appointed a visitor after 1820, and acted as such until the school was removed to the gallery of the church, and Mr. Asa Otis appointed as superintendent, when I was appointed a teacher, still holding, however, my appointment as a visitor.
"The summer after I took a class, Mr. Otis visited his friends in Connecticut, leaving the school in my charge as superintendent until his return-a period of eight weeks, or more.
"The attendance of scholars at that time was from 120 to 130. The situation of the teachers being, from the arrangement of the pews, very un- comfortable in the gallery, Mr. Otis and myself de-

termined to ask aid of the congregation, and per- mission of the vestry to build a school-room in the yard. We succeeded in putting up, at a cost of about $800, the school-room which now stands in the church yard. At that time the school was made up almost entirely of poor destitute children.
"After becoming a teacher I brought my children into the school, and had my class composed of chil- dren from the families of the congregation, and was instrumental in inducing the formation of other such classes.
"As a visitor my habit was on Sundays, between the close of the morning service and three o'clock, and during the week, at such evening hours as I could spare, regularly to visit all the absentees. The teachers, as a body, were zealous in their efforts to improve the school, and to promote its usefulness; and the congregations were liberal when called upon for aid in its support. Many of the poorer children were clothed at the expense of the congregation.
"From long experience and observation of Sun- day-schools, I am well satisfied of their value and efficiency in extending the kingdom of our blessed Lord and Master; and as you are yourself, I be- lieve, still connected with one, I take the liberty of impressing upon you, as I would upon all others, the special importance of teachers visiting their scholars, rich and poor, particularly when from any cause they have been absent from the school.

* NOTE. SATURDAY MORNING, March 1, 1879.
The following paper was handed me to-day by our old friend, Mr. James Evans, of the highly estimable house of Messrs. John H. Tyler & Co., of Richmond, in reference to Mr. Drew's letter to Col. Ellis about the first organist of the Monumental Church : Mr. Evans writes : "Understanding that George D. Fisher, Esq., is copying from the records of St. Paul's church a history of the Monumental Church from its organization, and having been some two or three years since afforded the opportunity of perusing that record, I found there copied a very interesting letter from our old and valued friend, Thomas H. Drew, Esq., giving, among many other subjects, his recollection of the organ, building, etc., of the Monumental Church; also of the importation of an organ from England, etc. Among other things, he says, 'that Mr. Charles Southgate was chosen as the organist, and gave entire satisfaction to the congregation.'
" How and when Col. Ellis and Mr. Drew obtained their informa- tion in regard to the organ, organist and music of the Monumen- tal Church, I cannot conceive ; but however obtained, they are errors to be regretted. Mr. Southgate never played the Monu- mental Church organ, or any other in Richmond; he could neither play the organ or piano. The instrument which he played, and played well, was the ‘ violincello.' He was a lover of music, and a member of a musical club, which met in ' Tan-Bark Hall;' and his 'violincello' was an important instrument in the society, of which he was a valued member. The organ of which they make mention was imported, through Tompkins & Murray, commission merchants, from the factory of Bevington, Soho- square, London, and put up under the direction of Mr. South- gate, assisted by carpenters, from minute and specific directions of Bevington, the organ builder. When the organ was up, and

partially tuned, public notice was given that it would be used the following Sunday, and a sermon preached by Bishop Moore prepared for the occasion. It was arranged that Mrs. Sully was to play the organ on the occasion, and I on the following Sunday.
"On the morning of Sunday, before service, Mrs. Sully in- formed the bishop she would not be able to play, as she had no opportunity to try the organ. The bishop sent for me, and said, ' James, you must play the organ to-day, as Mrs. Sully is not prepared, and will not be here.' I remarked that I was in the same situation ; had not tried the organ, or practised with the choir. That good old gentleman replied, 'that his sermon was prepared, public notice given that the organ would be played, the church crowded to overflowing, and I must play.' I did so, going through with the choir, the full Episcopal service. The following Sunday Mrs Sully played.
"During the week I was waited on by two of the vestry, in- forming me that I had been elected organist. Having under- stood that Mrs. Sully had a large and dependent family, and music her profession, and only means of support, and the or- ganist's salary would much aid her, I respectfully declined ac- cepting the situation. Whereupon Mrs. Sully was elected, and played that organ for several years. After her resignation I was appointed, and held the situation of organist for a number of years. Mr. Southgate died while Mrs. Sully was organist. There was but one other church in the city that had an organ, and that was the 'Old Church,' now 'St. John's.' Miss Sally Sully was organist for several years. Mr. Southgate was never organist of any church in Richmond. and certainly not of the Monumental."
Mr. Drew, the writer of the interesting letter to Col. Ellis, died in this city, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Wm. D. Gibson, on Wednesday, the 9th of October, 1878, at the advanced age of 94; and but for having a fall some weeks before, by which his hip was dislocated or broken, he might have reached 100, such was his soundness of body and mind. The letter, as above, to Col. Ellis bears date ten years and four months before his death .- G. D. F.

Church, provided himself with a book (as required by the canon of 1837,) in which "to make out and continue an exact register of all the adult members, communicants, baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and funerals, within the congregation, which register shall be left upon his death or removal, for the use of his successor."
In this book he wrote the following introduction :
"The Monumental Church was built on the site of the Richmond theatre, which was burned Decem- ber 26th, 1811, and in which more than one hun- dred persons lost their lives. The church was in- tended as a monument to commemorate this sad event.
"In May, 1814, Richard Channing Moore, D. D., rector of St. Stephen's Church, New York, was chosen the first rector of the Monumental Church. He was also, on the 18th of May, 1814, consecrated bishop of Virginia.
"Dr. Moore entered on his duties as bishop of Virginia and rector of the Monumental Church in the month of October, 1814. He continued rector of this church until his death, which occurred on the 11th November, 1841. . During the twenty-seven years of Bishop Moore's rectorship, the interesting history of the congregation has been lost, in conse- quence of the failure of the rector to keep a paro- chial register.
"At the time of Bishop Moore's death, a very im- perfect list of the communicants of the congrega- tion was the only parochial record that could be

found. And the present rector, who acted as as- sistant minister from January 1st, 1837, to the time of Bishop Moore's death, is satisfied that no register of the congregation was ever kept.
"This statement is made in order to account for the extraordinary fact that there is no earlier regis- ter of so important a congregation than this which follows.

HISTORY OF THE
Mr. Thomas Nelson attended as the lay delegate from the Monumental Church.
On motion of the Rev. Mr. Woodbridge, Mr. Thomas Nelson was appointed a trustee of the fund for the support of widows and orphans of deceased clergymen, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Orren Williams.
The Bishop now made the following communica- tion to the convention :
" BRETHREN AND FRIENDS : Since the decease of our beloved father, Bishop Moore, my thoughts have often been led to a subject which I now wish to pro- pose for your consideration. I mean the appoint- ment of an assistant bishop to aid me in the arduous duty of this diocese. During the last twelve years I have, with the exception of a very few places, per- formed the whole of the itinerant duties of the dio- cese. It has required on an average at least eight months in each year, of successive services from day to day, to render what has still appeared to me very inefficient supervision of the diocese. The effect of this incessant labor of mind and body has been so injurious to me already, especially to my voice, which is often insufficient for duty, and the attempt to con- tinue the same so likely to result in entire dis- ability, that I feel it a duty to ask, according to the provisions of the constitution of the church, that I may have an assistant, who may divide with me the labors of a diocese, which, from its extent and other circumstances, is much more difficult to be served than any other in our country.
195
MONUMENTAL CHURCH.
" I do this under the advice of many friends, and also of physicians, who are competent to judge of my infirmities.
" Hoping that you will accede to my request, and that God may guide you in the choice of a suitable person, I remain, your faithful friend and brother in Christ, WILLIAM MEAD."
On motion, that this convention will proceed on to-morrow, at 9 A. M., to the election of an assistant bishop, the ayes and noes were demanded, and ordered accordingly. Motion carried in the affirmative. Ayes, 47; noes, 20.
Saturday, May 21st .- On motion of the Rev. Philip Slaughter, and agreeably to adjournment, the convention proceeded to the election of an assistant bishop.
After some appropriate remarks by the bishop, in reference to the importance of the work they now were about to engage in, the clergy and laity, with all present, were called upon, as usual on such oc- casions, to devote a few moments in silent prayer to Almighty God, for the aid and guidance of His Holy Spirit.
In compliance with the fifth article of the con- stitution, the convention was then organized into two deliberative and elective bodies.
Rev. Thomas Atkinson and Rev. John Grammar, were appointed tellers on the part of the clergy. Rev. Mr. Atkinson rose and said that, although aware the name of no individual had been formally

HISTORY OF THE
announced to the convention as a candidate for the high trust about to be bestowed, it was known to many of the friends of the Rev. Mr. Cobbs, that that gentleman's name had been mentioned in connec- tion with the office of assistant bishop.
He would, therefore, state to the friends of Mr. Cobbs, and at his particular request, the desire that his name might not be used; and further, that he had deposited with him (Mr. A.) his ballot for Dr. Johns, of Maryland.
General Lewis, in a few remarks addressed to the laity, stated (in corroboration, if necessary, of what had been said) that a similar request was made through him by the Rev. Mr. Cobbs.
Whereupon, the clergy proceeded to cast their votes; and on the first ballot it appeared that the whole number of votes taken were 49; of which number the Rev. John Johns, D. I)., of Maryland, received 43.
The Rev. Doctor Johns was thereupon nominated by the clergy to the laity, as a suitable person for the office of assistant bishop of Virginia.
Mr. John Nelson and Mr. Cassius F. Lee, were appointed tellers.
The votes of the laity were then received, and on the first ballot announced to be as follows: Whole number of votes given, 33, of which the Rev. John Johns, of Maryland, obtained 25.
The Rev. Dr. Johns was then declared by the president to be canonically elected assistant bishod of Virginia.
197
MONUMENTAL' CHURCH.
On motion of Mr. John Nelson, ordered that Bishop Meade be requested to communicate with Dr. Johns on his election to the Episcopate of this dio- cese.
" On motion, Resolved, That this convention do consider the election of Dr. Johns unanimous."
General Lewis, from the committee on finance, presented and read the following report, viz :
" Contributions to contingent fund : Monumental Church, Richmond, $130."
Rev. Wm. Norwood and Mr. William Williams were appointed members of the executive committee of the "Protestant Episcopal Association" for the promotion of Christianity in Virginia. .
Mr. William Williams was appointed treasurer of the same association.
Rev. J. P. McGuire, from the committee on the state of the church, made the following report :
" In any estimate which we can take of the state of the church, the first thing presenting itself to every mind is the lamented death of that aged and beloved man of God, our late Diocesan.
" Of the character of Bishop Moore, his usefulness, the debt of love and gratitude we owe him, our ob- ligations to our Divine Lord for enabling him to con- tinue his apostolic labors to almost the last hour of his long life, your committee do not intend to speak, nor will it attempt any suitable tribute to his me- mory, as that has been made the duty of others.
" But no view of the diocese could be taken, at all satisfactory, without some respectful allusion to some
198
HISTORY OF THE
record of the profound sensibility with which we re- member him, who will for many a day to come live in the filial affections of the church of Virginia. Atthe last convention it was known that the impaired health of our present diocesan rendered it expedient for him to travel abroad; and the church having commended him to the blessing and protection of Almighty God, it is now her duty to acknowledge that good providence which preserved him by land and sea, and in due season restored him to his loved duties and diocesan home. But it is a cause of deep regret that the hoped-for restoration of his health was not secured. That is still so much impaired as to render proper the election of an assistant bishop to aid him in the discharge of his episcopal duties, as he himself has informed this body.
"In ready response to his wishes, you have called the Rev. John Johns, D. D., to that responsible office. May the blessing of God rest upon this momentous transaction !"
