OF the Congregational Church has been

Cuts On Sale at j. II. Wight ~ Sons.

The record of the proceedings Of the
seventy-fifth anniversary of the First
Congregational church of Wellington
has been published, and the book is
now ready for delivery. 1t is a beauty.
When it was first proposed to publish
a verbatim report of this notable event
in the history of the church, it was es
timated that about sixty-four pages
would be required to contain COM
plete record Arrangements were ac-
cordingly made for such publication
and for sale of same at twenty-five
cents per copy, The exercises of the
anniversary, however, were decidedly
more extensive than had been anti
cipated, and the record coIld not be
published even on very cheap paper
and in small type, for the price con-
templated.
The Anniversary now issued contains
one hundred and tifty-two pages. The
paper used is elegant in quality, the
cover the best that is made in paper,
the type clear and the mechanical work
strictly first class in every respect.
In addition to the complete report Of
the day, the book contains list of an
niversary committees, an introduction
by the pastor, Il roster of ministers
who have served the church since its
organization, Il roster of officers Of the
church for the same time, with bio
graphical notes included in DR.. Bar
tons history published II few years
since, the same being enlarged and
brought down to date. 1t also con-
tains zinc etching cuts of "Wellington
in 1855" the ''Old White Church, and
the "Old Free Church,, as they ap-
peared in Dr. Barton's History, and in
addition thereto, beautiful half tones
of the brick church that was burned,
of the church edifce now standing, and
of the following ministers who have
preached for the church during the
last iifty-five years, viz; Rev. A. Il.
Clark, Rev. i. B. Lane, Rev. Jas. A.
DAILY, Rev. S. D. Gammel, Rev. W. E.
Barton, D. D., Rev. A. f. Skeele, Rev.
Harry D. Sheldon, and Rev. A. II.
Ourrier, d. d. These half tones could
not have been successfully produced
on cheaper paper and the cost of the
book would not have been reduced
more than ten cents per copy by dis
carding the attractive features above
enumerated Such a book would have
been entirely unsatisfactory. The
book now offered will be highly priced
by all who take an interest in the
church and its history and will be val
ued by all who care for the early his
tory OF Wellington. As Mr.. DAILY
would say, it is, "Fit and Fair" and
matches the Occasion"
The trustees of the society have as
sumed the financial responsibility at
tending this publication, and under
their direction the book will be sold at
fifty cents per copy. 1t is.not expect
ed that the present sales will meet the
expense of publication, bit il after
meeting such expenses. there shall be
surplus, it will be turned into the
treasury of the society.
