The Leith Street Congregational Church
The Leith Street Congregational Church was erected in 1879, and is a plain brick building with seating accommodation for about 170 people. A Sunday school, with an attendance of 120 pupils, is held in the church, where there is an American organ. Two services are held on Sunday and a weekly service on Thursday evenings. Services were at first conducted by the Rev. Mr. Johnston, who, when his health began to fail, was joined by the Rev. Mr. Burgoyne. These ministers were succeeded by the Rev. W. M. Fell, who was succeeded by the present minister.
