Responding TO sentiment among the
personal friends Of DIT. Sunderland. who
believe that a more lasting memorial
should be provided than mere service.
"a movement is on foot 20 change the name
Of the First Presbyterian Church to the
Sunderland Memorial Church, making IL
as a precedent 10 such change that the
dent Of $1,000 now due By the church
shall be paid in fun. Substantial pledges
10 this end have already been received
and IL Is believed the movement Will be
taken up with enthusiasm by his friends
not only In the District OF Columbia. but
all over the nation
Hardly a place In the civilized world is
70 be found where this mans influence has
not been and Is not felt either through
those who have been married by him or
who have themselves or whose children
nave received baptism at his hands. or
Into whose life his neVeT-failing sympa-
thy has entered 20 soothe and comfort.
Thousands who have never seen Or.
Sunderland in person have received help
and inspiration through hts published ser
mons at the time Of the nations great
trial during the civil war.
II Is contended by many Of his warTnz st
friends that no more fitting way Of per
petuating the memory OF DR. Sunderland
could be devised than the -. cement now
being advocated because during the last
years of his life the debt Of the church
was believed by hiTn 90 be "a hiudrance
upon tho ChurCh'S efficiency IN doing the
work called for by its mission and which
because OF its history and prestige il
should be able TO do.
A cordial welcome viii be extended TO
the public generally to contribute TO this
cause and a committee viii be named
after service who will have charge Of the
undertaking
