One other name must be mentioned, and it is with a tenderness of regret, in which all who hear me will sympathise, as under a recent afflic- tion. To Mr. George Brown this congregation owes, under God, more perhaps than to any other person for its present position in this community. With his name its reputation, influence, and usefulness are most intimately identified. Elected a member of "the commit- tee" in 1825, he served the congregation in this capacity, with an assiduity and faithfulness ...second to no other, for nearly thirty-five years. During this last period of the history of the church now under review, he withdrew gradually from the pressure of active business, and gave himself increasingly to the promotion of those various benevolent enterprises demanded by our age, till he came to be almost universally looked to in all such undertakings. He not only contributed liberally of his large wealth, but also by his counsels and active services. The contributions of this church to our Boards of 68 Missions, Education, &c, as well as to the other benevolent objects of the day, were largely made up of his gifts.
