Near Cruger's, a short distance south from Montross Point is situated the Protestant Episcopal church called " The Church of the Divine Love." This edifice is substantially the work of the Rev. Gouverneur Cruger who was architect and also -- to a large extent -- builder. The church and its Sunday School, which are built of brick, cost about ten thousand dollars, and to it is attached a neat and commodious rectory also of brick. The corner stone of this building was laid by the Rev. T. L. Johnson, D.D., on St. Barnabas' day June nth, 1869, and was consecrated by the Rt. Rev. Horatio Potter, D.D., on Friday, Sept. 15th, 1871. The chandeliers and lamps of elegant pattern and device, were the gifts of W. G. Kortright, Esq., of New York. The communion silver was presented by Mrs. Nicholas Cruger. The organ which cost eleven hundred dollars was built by Carhart & Needham, and was the gift of the Rev. Gouverneur Cruger. The font is of Caen stone with elaborate design. The tower contains a Meneely bell, of one thousand pounds. The Rev. Gouverneur Cruger is the rector.
