After his death came Dr. Alexander McKenzie, who has ably led the people and kept close the ancient connection between the church and the college. We turn now to Christ Church, the second oldest in the city, and one even more full of association, since its building has always remained substantially the same. On April 5, 1759, a letter was sent to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Forei
