AFTER the departure of Dr. Caner and the Loyalist portion of his flock in the British fleet, whose white, vanishing sails were watched from every steeple and hill-top by joyful multitudes, silence fell for a time on the Chapel, which suddenly ceased to be popularly known by the dangerous surname of "King's." As we have already seen, that most noteworthy event, the funeral of General Warren, who had fallen on Bunker Hill, was celebrated here, with the oration by Mr. Perez Morton, who dared to speak from this pulpit the word never heard from Dr. Caner's lips, "Independence." But after that rite-which may be entitled the compurgation of the Church from political heresy - these doors were closed. Not, however, because there were no parishioners left; on the contrary, more than half of the old congregation remained, and showed by doing so that they were on the patriotic side, notwithstanding their affiliations. We do not propose to give the same sort of biographical notice of their lives, happily less eventful, that has been given regarding those of the refugees from this con 1 Of seventy-three pews, thirty were occupied by Loyalists and forty-three by those of the Patriotic, or American, party. |
