A Congregational Church in Buffalo
For over forty years Buffalo, now a city of one hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants, has been without a Congregational Church. Somewhere in the thirties—two or three—there was one in existence there, quite flourishing. The celebrated evangelist Burchard came along and held one of his exciting protracted revival meetings, and large numbers rushed into the church. But no great time elapsed before exclusions commenced and, in the end, after two or three years, the reaction was so great that the church as a Congregational organization went out of existence, and the Lafayette Street Presbyterian Church rose upon its ruins.—Standard.
