Ice will consist of a special sermon by
the pastor, and will include special mu-
steal features For several years past Dr.
Power has been observing these anniver-
sary days, but there have been jubilations
only on the multiples of five. At some later
date, not the exact date of the anniversary,
which falls about the middle of this month,
there will be a special celebration, con-
sstinS of a reception TO the pastor and
other features. The reason that the time
of the celebration has been put SO far
ahead is that many members of the con-

In n few weeks, also, there will be
gathering OF the Christian Church in Mary

The date Of the reception will be announced
for some time in October the principal
reason for the delay being that the Young

preparing a souvenir for the pastor which
