CLOSING SERVICE HELD
CENTRAL-AVENUE CHURCH ami
VERSARY CELEBRATION ENDED.
Ministers of NJ. f. Churches COngratu-
lated Pastor and People and
Talked of Church Work.

Last night was the closing service of the
twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of the
Central-avenue M. E. Church. Despite the
Indictment weather, the church was we'll
filled with members and visitors, who gath
cred to listen to talks from pastors of the
city's Methodist churches who had been
invited to address "fraternal Methodists'
meeting" The Rev. Hiram w. Kellogg,
pastor of the church, opened the service
with a prayer, and called on the choir for
hymn. He introduced the Rev. Z. B.
Rawls, presiding elder, who spoke for a
few minutes, describing the good record
and history of the churchs development.
Mr.. Rawls alluded to the necessity for look
ing upward and forward to higher church
life and existence. He predicted great
growth and grandeur for the church. He
suggested several lines by which the good
of the church to the community might be
increased. The missionary field he said. is
place where the efforts of church people
should be directed to secure better cond-
tons.
The Rev. c. E. Bacon, pastor of Roberts
Park Church, spoke, and in introducing his
congratulatory address, said that Roberts
Central-avenue Church, and always will be
proud in its Northumberland" After
this he spoke in a complimentary way on
the growth of the church, its increased
value in property and steady growth in
membership.
CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS.
The Rev. Worth Tippy, pastor of the
Broadway Church. talked for few minutes
in conveying the good will of his congre-
cation to the Central-avenue Church. He
suggested that the growth and betterment
of churches lies in organizations within
church organization. The boys and wom-
ems and girls and mems clubs and socie-
ties do much to add interest in church at
tendance, he said, and the administration
of the church when IL encouraged good
music and comfortable services helps to
bring many people to church who otherwise
would be Indifferent and, although Chris
tians on Sunday. not attendants at services.
The Rev. Joshua Stansfield of the Me-
ridian-street Church. described the power
OF the pulpit in shaping the destines and
futures of church people. The relation of
the ministry to the people of the church
should be pleasant, and all of the church
good churches, he said. Mr.. Stansfield said
the members of his congregation unite in
praising the Central-avenue Church, and he
himself wished to take the opportunity to
add his word of congratulation to the min
istry and members of the church.
A thank-offering service will be held at
the Central-avenue Church to-day by the
Woman's Home Missionary Society. to
which the public is invited. The women
will be in attendance at the church parlors
during the entire day. Two o'clock is the
hour set for the public thank-offering.
