DR. StillWeli in opening the Speechmak-
ing, which was a prominent feature OF
the programme drew a comparison of the
old and the new. He referred to the
first services held in the little chapel
on Baptist hill. AS to the question OF
priority three of the other denominations
held services in the same building
and were organized very close together.
The pastor thought 1t only hitting that
the present pastors of these churches

first introduced Rev. F. B. Cowgirl, Of
the First Methodist church. who said in

of his acquaintance with the early pastor
of the church and Of his delightful rela-
tions with the men who had given the
first Baptist church it's initial start. He
characterized the former clergymen of
the church as a distinguished line of pas
tors. AS one of the down town churches
the bishop thought the First Baptist
church was nearer the hearts of the peo-
ple than some of the fashionable sane

of the church and enable congregation
and pastor alike to look forward with
