The committee to whom was refeiTcd the matter of advising with regard to the enterprise of forming a new Congregational Church in the south part of the city, hav- ing conferred with the gentlemen representing this enter- prise, are of the opinion that it is deserving of public encouragement, and that the estimated outlay of $12,000 is a suitable sum to be invested for an eligible lot and house of worship for their purposes. The committee recommend that subscriptions for the aforesaid object be made to trustees, under whose direction the lot shall be purchased, and the house built, and in whom the property shall be vested for a term of ten years, when, if the enterprise has proved successful, it shall be made over to the Ecclesiastical Society then existing.
