The Historical sketch of the Church was prepared and read by Dr.
Steele, the Pastor Emeritus. We were fortunate in having as our
historian one who has been so closely identified with the church for
a period of 43 years and who was able to write from first hand
information. The sketch showed the most painstaking and careful
research, fine discrimination, and was a concise and comprehensive
history of a fruitful work covering a period of one hundred years.
DR. TUPPER AND REV. S. McCULLY.
After the reading of the historical sketch of the church an address
was given on the subject: “Glimpses into the Lives of Rev. Samuel
McCully and Charles Tupper D. D. by Mrs. Grace McLeod Rogers, M. A.
This address clothed in beautiful and chaste language was not only a
rich treat from a literary standpoint but gave evidence of such
sympathetic insight into the lives of two of the great men of our
church that the feeling was unanimous that it must have a place in
the report of our Centennial Celebration.
This most inspiring of all the services of Centennial week was
brought to a close with the singing of the old hymn “O God the Rock
of Ages.”
