excellent sermon in the morning and
gave short but instructive talk in the

" The Creation. Prof Daley of Phila-
delphia, sang at all the services and cap
tivated the audience by his splendid sing
ing He is a member of the famous
Silver Lake Quartette. 3" Prof. Daley
is the composer of both the words and
music of the most of the songs he sings.
His ' Jubilee Song ELECTED great favor,
the words are inspiring and the music IS
spirited and quite number of copies of
the song were sold here. Rev. G. W.
Bounds gave a short talk on Sunday
evening and on Monday evening gave a
short historical sketch of the building
and growth of the church as follows
The first place of worship stood on the
site now occupied by the undertaking
establishment of Harry F. Mitten. 1t
was built in 1912 and called the Chris
tians' Tabernacle, and was dedicated by
Rev. Zedekiah Davis, a local preacher.
AS the growth of the congregation nee
essitated a larger building, the Chris
tians' Tabernacle was sold to the school
district in 1886 and in 1887 larger build
ing was built where the present town
hall stands. It was dedicated by Rev.
Elipbralet Reed. Worship continued
there until the erection of Trinity Church
the present brick building, which was
dedicated by Bishop Levi Scott in 1856.
On Tuesday evening Rev. T. J. Sarde,
of Dover, preached splendid sermon
and held the undivided attention of his
large audience. Prof. Daley sang some
of his beautiful songs and the program
closed. The commemoration of this cen
tennial event was very interesting, and
Rev. G.. w. Bounds deserves much credit
for preparing such a delightful program.
It is doubtful if any who were present
at this anniversary will witness the next
of the kind.
