CLOSING SERVICE.

Tuesday evening the celebration program was fittingly brought to an

end by a devotional service, in which all the past and present were

transformed into a new consecration for the future. Pastor Stackhouse

gave a brief address on "Retrospect and Prospect," and Dr. Steele

also spoke briefly. Letters were read from a number of non-resident

members; also one from Rev. T. Richard Peede, of Port Chester, N. Y.,

a former pastor of the church. Short reminiscences of the past were

also given by Deacons Layton, Read and S. Freeman, and by Mrs. G. B.

Smith, after which the service was brought to a close, the deep

feeling of the members being that the Church had been wonderfully

blessed in its work in the past and particularly through the

celebration, and that the same devotion to service would ensure even

greater accomplishments in the future.
