David and Daniel, very few know any

Now it is proposed to enlarge the

The history Of the church dates
back to 1895, when the mission Of All
Angels was established at Twilight
Park. For several years before that
time desultory services had been held
in a small building in the settlement.
Bishop Satterlee made his summer
home there and he became interested
in the mission. Its first regular serv-
ice was held June is. 1895. In the cot
tage where Bishop Satterlee and his
family lived. At that service there was

Guarding the Precious Declaration

too much folding. too much rolling, too
much handling. and. alas! too much
stealing of its immortal language by
a wet Dress copying operation resorted
to in 1920.
For 80 years the Declaration Of indie.
pendence hung in the light. and the
longer 1t hung there the more neces-
sary the light became. for the ink that
was left grew paler and paler until It
was hard to make out any of the sig
natures. except the big black name Of
John Hancock. Finally it became evi.
dent that II anything except the
parchment was to be left the docu.
ment would have to DO kept in the
dark.
So 1t went into retirement In the
safe, being brought out only upon spe.
cial requests.
In 1903 the late John Hay. then SEC
rotary Of state, appointed commit.
tee to examine the condition of the
declaration and to recommend what
should be done to preserve it. The
committee found 1t creased ard bereft
of its ink. but they were pleased to
find no evidence of mold or other dis
migrating agents" They recommend
cd that the document be kept dark
and dry, and their recommendation
has been religiously followed.
