Details: Here (at Newcastle), the residence of the most abandoned and unfortunate of our species, we have a solemn Temple, neatly finished, for the public worship of the true God. It is most delightfully situated, and conveniently fitted up for our accommodation, that we may meet together to render thanks unto Almighty God, for the great benefits which we have received at his Hands ; to show forth his most worthy praise; to hear his most holy word ; and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul. No language can indeed fully exhibit to the mind the grandeur of the place on which stands the " Christ Church" at Newcastle. It is founded upon, an eminence, almost the highest in the neighbourhood, commanding a full view of the town all beneath. On two sides we have the boundless ocean, with its rolling waves, far below ; on one side is an extensive bay, interspersed with islands ; and on the other side, are immense mountains at a distance ; nearer the hallowed site, are pleasant valleys, and a beautiful terrace all around.-The sacred edifice itself is adorned with a steeple and spire of considerable height ; on the top of which, above the ball and the NESW, is placed an Angel flying with a trumpet, as if proclaiming to the four quarters of the Globe, "good tidings of great joy to all people.
