N offering the following pages to the public it is proper to give a brief outline of the character of the religious services which celebrated the Centennial Anniversary of our Church.
At an early hour on the evening of Thursday, the 20th of Nov ember, 1873, a large congregation had assembled eager to witness the interesting ceremonies. Many may indeed have been drawn by no higher motive than curiosity; but the hearts even of these must have been solemnized by the chaste, beautiful and suggestive decoration which decked those venerable walls.
