Jan. 7 In the multitude of things to be mentioned last week in our notice of the church opening, we entirely omitted Che new organ, and the organist. Numerous were the remarks anent the beautiful tone of the organ one of Doberty'scelebrated instruments which are so popular and Mrs. T. Hill deserves the highest praise, not only for rare ability as an organist, but for self denial, patience and regular attendance. She is never from her post, rain or shine, at practice or puplic service. We have never known her to disappoint, or her place to be vacant since she took charge.

But a cor- respondent ot the London Echo calls attention to the faet that this is very far short of the truth. "Let me tell you," he says, "that it is not alone Canaday's great work, but the greatest work ever done under the British flag, or any other flag, or by any otht r people in any time, unless perchance the Chinese wall migl^t be held to vie with it.
