S. S. Moore gave us one sermon each month, when the con- dition of the roads would allow him to make the drive be- tween morning and evening service at Parkersburg, and came on other occasions for especial work as he was untiring in the Master's work. During these years we received much kindness from both the Methodists and Baptists. Worship- ping first in the Methodist Church, then in the Baptist Church.
In 1892, it was decided to build a Church. It being deem- ed undesirable to build on the lot given by Mrs. Henderson, another was to be secured, several of the ladies, especially Miss Fannie Mckinney and Mrs. Beeson, favored building on the hill above high water, but the men preferred down town. A site on Ferry street was selected. The Rev. S. S. Moore in an article about "Christ Memorial Church, at Williams- town," writes: "The beginning of the fund with which it was built came from a legacy of $1,000 which together with a lot, was left by the late Mrs. Geo. W. Henderson, for the purpose. The residue was raised by the earnest exertions of the people themselves. The building was erected during the past sum- mer, the design being furnished and its execution superintend- ed by Mr. W. L. Davis. The total cost including furnishings was about $2,300. The building is of frame on a brick founda- tion, capable of seating in the pews 140 persons, with floor space for a number beyond this, in case of need, and it is extremely pretty and attractive. It was consecrated by the Bishop of the Diocese on the 22nd Sunday after Trinity, No- vember 13, 1892. The Instrument of Donation was read by Mr. H. C. Henderson and the sentence of consecration by myself. The Rev. John Boyd, Rector of St. Luke's, Marietta, Ohio, assisted in the services. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Moore. The day was perfect and the large attend- ance manifested the general interest in the event.

al (with occasional services from Dr. Moore) until March, 1896. During these years Mr. Davis laid some excellent foundation stones, and won esteem as well as a wife while among us. In April, 1896, the Rev. W. K. Marshall came to us as Dr. Moore's assistant, a man of ability, attainments, and experi- ence, his stay was short among us, and to our deep regret, he left us December, 1897. During the severe sickness of the Rev. Mr. Marshall we were well served in the summer of 1897, by an earnest, zealous student from the Seminary, H. B. Thomas. While with us Mr. Thomas organized our Sun- day school, August, 1897. In October, 1897, the Bishop took charge of Williamstown, and some other points which for a short time were in charge of Rev. Mr. Marshall. In January, 1898. Mr. J. A. Hiatt became minister in charge. He has shown much energy and faithfulness and won many friends.
On July 21st, 1899, there was a meeting to organize the work into a mission station. Rev. S. S. Moore, D. D., presided. This was not finally effected until February 17, 1900; when the Bishop appointed J. W. Snodgrass, warden; H. C. Hen- derson, registrar; A. T. Henderson, treasurer. These with Charles Hunter and G. R. Hammatt form the Committee. In March, 1898, the water was in the Church, being thirty-eight inches deep on the floor.
At this time Williamstown and St. Mary's have been sep- arated from the Parkersburg work, and with Waverly united in one charge, under special care of Mr. George C. Shaw, a candidate for Holy Orders. There have been in all thirty-three persons confirmed in Williamstown.
GEORGIA H. BEESON.
Waverly Mission, The Church of the Adrent .- On the 16th of May, 1886, the first Episcopal service, or service of any kind, ever held in the community of Waverly, Wood county. was held by the Rev. Jno. F. Woods, at the house of Mr. Jno. B. Triplett. There being no church building of any kind or school house in the place, at the time, services were continued at Mr. Triplett's once a month for four months, until it be-

came evident that the quarters furnished by Mr. Triplett would not hold the congregation, more capacious room was seenred at a hotel in the place, (kept by Mr. Basil William- son). Rt. Rev. G. W. Peterkin made his first visitation here in the evening of December 7th, 1886, and confirmed one, Mrs. Jas. P. Sharp. His second visit was made April 24th, 1887. Services were held at Williamson's hotel eight months, when they were transferred to a union hall, erected June and July of this year (1887), for the accommodation of a union Sunday school and such services as might be held by the Episcopal- ians, Presbyterians and Methodists, from time to time. The deed for the lot on which the hall stands was made by Mr. James P. Sharp, April 5th, 1887, to the following Trustees: Mr. Basil Williamson, for the Methodist, Mr. R. J. Corbitt, for the Presbyterian and Mr. Jno. B. Triplett for the Protest- ant Episcopal. (The size of the lot: South line, 87 feet; west line, 81 feet; north line, 71 feet; east line, 119 feet.) Rev. J. F. Woods began services in this hall August, 1887, and continued then: over three years, when he was followed by Rev. J. R. Taylor, who was in charge of the mission about six months, in 1891. Mr. Taylor was succeeded by the Rev. Grant Sommerville, who resigned in the autumn of 1894, af- ter being in charge nearly three years. The Rev. J. F. Woods, for the second time, was placed in charge, July 1st, 1895, by Bishop Peterkin. In process of time the Methodists of the community as well as the Presbyterians, having erected churches of their own, sold out their respective interests in the union hall, to the Episcopalians, giving the latter sole possession of the building and a home of their own. After the purchase of these interests, the church building stood to the Episcopalians in cost value. $600.00. The monthly service at this point has been increased to two services a month on different Sundays. The church officers are: Warden, Mr. Jno. Triplett; registrar, Mrs. C. P. Corbett: treasurer, Mrs. C. P. Corbitt. Prominent persons taking part in this mis- sion in addition to the above are: Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Sharp,

In the summer of 1901 the church building was greatly im- proved at a cost of about $100, and Waverly was put under charge of Mr. Geo. C. Shaw, residing at St. Mary's, and having charge of that point and also of Williamstown.

Emmanuel, Volcano, has been taken down and re- moved to Kenova, where now in greatly improved condition it is Gracc Church, and the remaining four have undergone the usual repairs to be expected during such a term of years.
In June, 1878, the old church in Parkersburg had been torn down preparatory to building the new, and the church in

Churches and Chapels built since June, 1878.
In this are included the ten given in the former list as en- tirely new buildings, which number of course must be de- ducted in arriving at the total number of churches now in the Diocese. It will be found to be as follows: number brought over from time prior to June, 1878, is 16. Number of old churches entirely replaced by new buildings 10; number added since June, 1878, has been 56; making the total number now 81, the church at Volcano having been re- moved.

On the above list, the names in Italics indicate new church buildings, which have taken the place of the old, ten in number.
The chapel at Glencoe is private property. The church at Harper's Ferry is a new building on a new site, taking the place of that which was restored on the ruins of the old one in 1881. The new Ascension Church at Hinton takes the place of that which was built in 1881, but destroyed by a cyclone in 1897. The chapels called the Light House, Park- ersburg, and St. David's, Powellton, are rooms in buildings used for various purposes. St. Andrew's, Mannington, is at this time (1901) involved in such complicate difficulties that its loss to the Diocese is probable. The churches at Ripley and Moorefield were in a condition far on to completion in 1878. In addition to the above buildings, the church has a fourth interest in a Union Church at Long Reach, Pleasants county. It deserves, also, to be mentioned that the founda- tion of the church at Ronceverte, upon which Mr. Ben Hurx- thal builded with great liberality, was the share received from the sale of a Union Church, which he had also been instrumental in starting. The church at North River (or near Slanesville), Hampshire county, is perhaps eighty years old, but it had for a long time passed out of our hands, and even out of our knowledge, until Mr. Gibbons revived and es- tablished onr claim in 1894. so that now it may be considered practically a new church.
