The thirteenth anniversary or the
Plymouth Congregational church was
celebrated yesterday with appropriate
exercises. The morning session, which
was devoted chiefly to children, was
most interesting. The ushers had all
the young people of the church in the
front rows on either side, where they
were addressed by the pastor, Rev
Thomas A. Bell Around the pulpit
were arranged a large number of cut
flowers and potted plants.
Mr.. Bell took the following text for
his sermon: THY word is a Lamb
unto my feet; and light unto my
path" After impressing the meaning
of the text firmly upon the minds of the
young people, he gave by illustration
the usages of lamps on ships and rail-
roads and how they forcibly suggest
the great light of God in making 1t
clear to us what path to follow. The
sermon contained many interesting
anecdotes where the faith of the un-
tutored young street-urchins was pre-
dominant.
At 2.3O the meeting opened with sing
ing Gospel hymn No. 215. The twenty
third psalm was then read in unison.
A prayer was offered by Howard Lewis.
