entation took place at the home Of Alfred Van
santvoord. No 80 West Thirty ninth-st', and
was attended by two hundred or more OF Dr.
Goes former congregation.
Judge Henry W. Bookstaver spoke eloquently
Of the love and respect which Dr. Coe had won
since he became the pastor Of the church IN
1879 and said that the testimonial when ne
presented was only meagre token or the es-
teem and affection in which DR.. Coe was still
held Judge Bookstaver recited the work Of the
nastor I'm a tone Of deep feeling. and with warm
and earnest praise for Dr. Coe.
In his speech Of thanks Or. Coe seemed deeply
touched by this evidence OF his congregation

emotion He spoke OF his long acquaintance
with the people Of the Forty-eighth street
Church and said that he had always enjoyed
the heartiest support and cooperation from
them. He referred to his resignation Of the
pastorate and hoped that in his new and larger
sphere Of usefulness he might prove worthy or
the honor.
The Rev Donald Sage MacKey who has Just
left pastorate in Newark to take charge Of the
Collegiate Church, had few graceful words IN
praise Of Dr. Coe. The evening ended with the
singing of Aud Lang Syne.'
The loving-cup was a handsome affair. COW

that the $500 necessary for a loving g-cup was OBJ
tained in a day two, and few days later
had been raised 10 $1,000. tea service OF silver
