Every chnrch choir in town was represented among the sing. CTS who occupied seats on the left side of the stage. The clergy and other speakers sat on the right of the stage. Mrs Dr. Lee presided at the piano.
 Promptly at 1.s0 the tolling of the NJ. E. church bell gave warming that the time had arrived for the services to commence. Chairman J. H. Roraback announced that the service would be. gin with the hymn America Alter the hymn vas sung the remainder of the program was as follows:
