The service was held in Castle - 'field 'Baptist Church. The .church is very close to the spot 'where William Lyon , Mackenzie took refuge (in.' a•: huge cradle, if we ate to believe the story), lifter the battle of Montgomery's Tavern, and the tavern itself was 'only a few rods away'--exaetiy the `length of two city, blocks.

A minister called the names of all ,Baptist churci}es, , Toronto, and district and the delegates or', pastors from each answered. Among these were Baptist Czech, Finnish, Hungarian and Rueso-Ukrainian congregations: A member of the new congregation reported that a survey of t'iie, district had been made, various . meetings held and the organization completed , y;June 22. The first service was held en September 17th.: He also reported that the congregation promised to follow and leech the beliefs -of the Convention o Baptist Churches.
