GREENFIELD HILL.
17STH ANNIVERSARY.

The Greenfield Hill church celebra- ted it's l78th anniversary on the 18th and 18th inst. The rain, on Sunday, caused small congregations. The pas tor, Rev Dr Cane, preached in the morning from Psalm 87:6, and in the evening from Psalm .44:1. Both ser vices were appropriate to the occasion. In the evening there were several greetings from absent members read by the pastor. There was beautiful display of flowers, and the singing by the choir was a very pleasing feature, especially in the evening. On We'd nesday, reception for the older people of the parish was held at the parson- age from to 5.3O p. m. A large num- Der were present. and the occasion was a particularly enjoyable one. A fine supper was served by the ladies. Mu- sic was furnished by Mrs John H. Hull and the Country Club orchestra, Mrs c. H. Bradley, piano, s. c. Bradley, violin, William Fallon, flute. Dr Cane had charge of the after dinner half hour. Brief and interesting addresses were delivered by Dea John H. Hull and Rev Robert l. B. 1llman, Metho- dist, and Thomas Deuchield, Baptist. Rev R. P. Hubbard, Gloucester, Mass, Rev Chester Bridgman, Wookstown, N. J., Rev Joseph P. Kettle, Amboy, Ill.,, and E. B. Sturges, Scranton, Pa. Dr Child sent regrets at his unavoid- able absence. All the letters were reminiscent, cordial and prominent, with best wishes for the church's fu- ture prosperity. 1t was an occasion the memory of which will live for years to come. Thomas Bradley of Strattield, who built the foundation for the present church edifice, added interest to the event by his presence. Notwithstanding the rain in the evening, the reception to the young by years altogether, was attended by nearly 100. An exceptionally inter esting literary program was given. The Country Club orchestra, rein forced by Willie Buckley, cornet, ad- ded to their excellent work of the.after. noon. J. Nelson Hutchinson and MI Guy gave a number of fine selections on piano and violin. Misses Bessie Archibald ana Georgie Bulkley pleas. ing piano solos and Mrs Joseph B: Hill and s. Esther Bradley vocal solos o1 high order. MT Hutchinson estab. lished his reputation as reciter o1
 the first rank by humorous selections
 and Misses Georgie and Edna Bulkley trio. Lunch was served at 10. 30 pm.
 closing a day of great interest and en joyment. A general wish was ex
 pressed, both afternoon and evening that the 179 anniversary might be Ob
 served along the same lines. Not
 withstanding losses to the membership of the church by deaths and removals
 a steady growth and a healthy pros
 perity is evident. Seventeen member
 have been added since the first of Jan
 uary, 13 on confession of faith. Th'
 treasurer's report for the past year
 including repairs to church and par
 sonage property, shows a small bal
 ance on the right side. In the goo
 Providence of God, in the love and Joy
 atty of its members, the old churcl
 has the promise for continued infiuenc
 and progress.
