full of life and interest. Thomas R. Ban
herman occupied the chair, and Robert
O'Reilly recorded the minutes of the meet
ing.
Several enthusiastic speeches were made

the patriotic members that large sum
will pc realized for the hall fund.
Active preparations are also going on
for the reception to John F. Finerty, who
will lecture at Metropolitan Hall on the

The congregation of st. Peters was Or
ganized in 1867, but it was not until 1870
that the present pretty little church at the
corner of Stockton and Fiibert streets was
built and dedicated TO the honor and
glory of the Eternal Father. There is
reverence about the warm and cozy inte-
rior that is at once edifying. And the
services are very interesting. They follow
out the Episcopalian order. Besides, there
is a surpliced choir of some thirty five
M ale voices under the direction of Henry
Kirk White Jr. This choir was organized
by the Rev. Mr.. Emery, since appoinrsd
rector of the Church of the Advent by the
Rt. Rev. Bishop Nichols.
st. Peters has mem bership of some
175 communicates. The parish was at one
time one of the most fourishing in the
City. The days of its prosperity came
and went like the ebb and flow of the
waters of the ocean beach beyond. But
the families who chung to the old church
are most loyal in their devotions TO 1t.
They love the memories and traditions
that cling to it's more than quarter OF a
century OF history. The outlook for the
future of the church is hopeful The peo.
