sumes Historic New York Charge.

The Rev. William Potts George, for many years pastor of the Westminster Congregational church, this city, has just been installed as pastor of the Bedford Street church, New York city. This is one of the historic places of the metropolis. It was founded in 1808, when Canal street was in "Greenwich Village," and its pulpit has been occupied by such men as Bishop Newman, who was the pastor for many years, General Grant being a regular attendant. G. H. Gregory, W. McK. Darwood, James Chadwick, Stephen Merritt and John J. Reed have all been pastors of this congregation to which Dr George is now appointed.
