Philadelphia, Sept. 10. Friday last being the day appointed
for the opening of St. Peter's Church in this city, the
officiating clergy, and several of their brethren, together
with the church-wardens and vestry men, met at Christ-
Church, from whence they walked in regular procession to the
Governor's house, and being there joined by his Honour and
some members of the Council, they went to St. Peter's, where
an animated and well adapted sermon was preached by the Rev.
Dr. Smith, Provost of the College in this city, to a polite
and crowded audience,. . .
Every thing was conducted with the utmost decency, order,
and solemnity: and after sermon, the words of the text,
which had been previously composed into an anthem, were
elegantly sung by a number of ladies and gentlemen, to the
vast satisfaction of every body present.
