Darebin Creek, December 21.
CHURCH ON THE DAREBIN - An advertisement in this paper announced some time past the opening of a house on the Darebin rivulet as a place of worship, since which Major Webb, a neighbouring settler, has been in the habit of performing divine service on every Sabbath that his personal attendance was possible. It is satisfactory to reflect that among the populous and wealthy parishes near Melbourne the residents on this rivulet should have been foremost in completing such an object as the attainment, by public subscription, of a place for congregational worship.
The church has been built on Mr. McLean's property, near the crossing place at the estate of S. J. Brown, and is in the vicinity of the properties of Messrs. Cooper, Brown, McLean, Neale Campbell, Milner, Maunsell, Arden, Keith, Serjeantson, and others, who have all assisted in its erection.
