From the JOURNAL OF THE VISITATION Of THE DIOCESE OF NOVA SCOTIA, IN NEW BRUNSWICK IN THE AUTUMN OF 1840, BY THE RIGHT REV. THE LORD BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA.

Tuesday, October 20, was chiefly occupied by the consecration of a little chapel which has been erected at Maryland, five miles from Fredericton, in an agricultural settlement, and is very usefully served by Mr. Stirling. It was named after St. John. The little congregation seemed very thankful for this completion of their work. I preached (as usual) on the occasion, and after the service, had an opportunity for encouraging those who had been most actively and piously engaged in the rearing of this humble building to God's glory, and for the benefit of themselves and their families; and also for suggesting some additions and improvements, to which they gladly promised immediate attention. Mr. Harvey, the son of the Governor, kindly conveyed myself and the Clergy on this occasion. This chapel, is satisfactorily and usefully served by the Rev. J. Stirling, the assistant at Fredericton.
