1872 - [CHURCH PROGRESS]
The Presbyterians of Gulgong, have recently erected a neat substantial place of worship. This body of Christians is not very numerous in this particular locality, and from the dimensions of the building, I judge that only about 200 persons can he seated. What they lack in numbers is fully made up in zeal, as their church building fully proves. It is already notified in tihe local papers, that Rev. Drs. Steel and McGibbon are to visit Gulgong in the course of a few weeks to take part in the consecration of the church, and deliver lectures in aid of the funds of the society. A tea meeting has also been organised for the same purpose, and the Congrega tionalists have very kindly placed the church at the disposal
of thc Presbyterians, for the purpose of holding the meeting.
This constitutes the sixth church at Gulgong, and there are now accommodation for the devotion of about 2000 Christians of the various denominations.
