Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Alliance of the Reformed Churches Holding the Presbyterian System: Proceedings of the Fifth General Council Toronto, 1892 The Toronto Council will long be remembered by those that took part in its proceedings. The city itself, scarcely older in years than some of the delegates, has already a population of over 200,000. Its site slopes gently upward from Lake Ontario, and is crowned at its summit by a beautiful residential suburb, where one finds a large number of handsome detached villas, with long, broad streets lined on either side by umbrageous chestnut trees, that almost suggest the" groves of the Academy." Toronto has always been distinguished for its educational institution; hence, to avail themselves of these and of the advantages of its well-known University, several religious denominations have located there their theological colleges. Not the least among these "schools of the prophets" is Knox College, one of the oldest and largest of the seminaries of the Presbyterian Church. But Toronto is not only a Presbyterian city, it is the natural capital and centre of a numerous and influential Presbyterian community, so that the delegates to the Council were sure in advance, of finding themselves among friends and brethren. Nor were these brethren remiss in the matter of hospitality. On the opening day, Major A. M. Cosby, invited the delegates to a Garden Party in his beautiful grounds of Maplehyrn, when the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, the Premier, the Mayor of the city, and a large number of distinguished citizens were present; while the "At Home" given at Government House by Mrs. Kirkpatrick was a courtesy, which will not soon be forgotten.
