The bust. which is of bronze. was COM
pleted by Mr.. U. 8. ]. Dunbar. sculptor, in
plaster during the life time of DR.. Sunder-
land and is life size. 1t is regarded as a
good likeness of the venerable minister as
well as an excellent work of art. This me-
mortal of man who was so fully identified
with the Oldest church of the denomination
in this city was secured through the untir-
ing efforts of Mr.. Samuel w. Curriden who
called the matter of the uncompleted bust
Of the attention of the friends and ac-
quaintances of DIR. Sunderland, and through
their contributions 1t was possible to have
the bust cast and a suitable pedestal pro-
vided. The place selected for setting up
this memorial is in the vestibule of the
church, which leads directly into the audi
forum.
