many years ago, played for the

choirs.
Harry Williams then spoke on the
subject, "Discarding the Old for the
New" His thoughts on the subject
were good, carefully arranged and well
presented. One must not turn down
things because they are old for If we
did, many of the things vital and es-
sential to our existence and happiness
would be discarded. Still if we would
succeed we must not allow the old to
stand in the way of the new and more
up-to-date methods of solving present
day problems.
Next was solo by Dick Staley, one
of our most promising musicians and
singers in the church.
A brief history of the church was
given by the pastor, dating back to the
year 1857, when the Methodist Episco-
pal church was first organized in this
locality by Rev. Morey Harrington.
No more need be said at the present
time concerning this history as full
account will be given later.
Many "reminiscences were given by
those attending the banquet. James
Moore, the oldest member of the church
gave an excellent paper on pioneer
days, speaking of the early laymen of
the church who were the lone and
sinew of Methodism forty-tlve years
ago. AS we listened to the paper we
thanked God for the faithful few
who kept the tiickering flame of
religion burning in the midst of hard
ship and sin.
Mrs. Euphemia Howell spoke of the
rude days or the fifty's when many
times one would be obliged to go four
teen miles to get to point five miles
from the place of starting. No public
roads, and unbridged rivers. pine
swamps, scarcity of money and some
times of food, made those times days
of hardship ana trial. w. IL. Palmer
and DR.. Howell owned the only two
buggies known here at that time. Two
stores and little school house consti-
tuted Brockway Center. All who heard
the story were no doubt glad for the
present and more modern methods of
living.
On account of the late hour N. b.
Herbert, Geo. Mcintyre, +. o. Putney,
Chauncey Kelley and Miss Pearl Nc
Donald gave short but interesting
talks.
Rev. 4. Charles, OF the Church of
Christ, and Rev. j. IL. Rheingans, of
the Presbyterian church, were present
and each gave kindly and brotherly
talk on the subject Of unity, and of the
relation of the church to the life OF y
community, and how that every church
should have some definite aim in get
ting together on the vital questions of
the hour.
The closing speech on the program
was given by Prof. N. j. Drouyor, who
told some interesting stories and also
emphasized the fact that the church
was certainly taking the right course
in undertaking TO build new and bet
ter house in which to worship God;
and that in every community and city
the church should be equal, if not
superior to our homes in beauty and
comfort for the service of our Creator.
Thus a most interesting program
was brought to close which fittingly
brought to an end the old house OF
God as place of worship.
Over one hundred dollars was taken
in from the sale of banquet tickets.

THE FAREWELL BANQUET

1
of the M. Z. church, called his faithful
ladies of the church together In order
to arrange social evening in the
old church before tearing it down. A
careful discussion was entered into as
to the best thing to do. Some suggest
ed one thing, some another. At length
the treasurer of the Ladies' Society
said, "Why not have banquetg" At
once nearly all had vision to go into
the spirit of banquet for the closing
social event in the old building. The
thought was pleasant one and soon
resulted into one of the most memoir
able occasions ever held IN the city.
1t was most delightful sight to see
the large auditorium with tables and
chairs enough to seat nearly 200 guests.
The tables were most conveniently ar
ranged so that the walters could attend
to their work without the slightest con-
fusion. The six long tables were dec
Grated with cut flowers and plants. A
neat program was placed at each plate
having the cuts of the old church and
the pastor.
After all were seated Rev. Rheingans
of the Presbyterian church invoked
the blessing of God upon the occasion,
after which all partook of most sump-
tuous banquet consisting of salads,
waters, pressed chicken, scalloped po-
tatoes, peas, pickles, olives, rolls, coffee,
two kinds of cakes, etc.
Sixteen walters served the guests in
most excellent style, whilst the orches-
ira charmed everybody with the sweet
ness of its music. The Grafonola loan
ed by Mathews & Wight also added to
the entertainment of the evening dur
ing the banquet hour.
After the banquet the remaining
hours Of the evening until midnight
were taken up by speeches and reminis-
censes ably given by those taking part.
II. 5. Campbell, of Port Huron, acted
as toastmaster and was introduced by
Prof. Drouyor. Mr.. Campbell, in his
Introductory remarks, spoke of his for
mer acquaintance with Yale, and of his
pleasant associations with Yale people;
telling of his first experience in this
town as teacher in the school.
Throughout the entire program Mr..
Campbell measured up to the expecta-
tions of the people and introduced each
speaker with some pleasantly that add.
ed to the enjoyment of the hour.
Judge Tappan was the first speaker
on the program and gave very inter-
esting speech, based on his knowledge
of our town as a former citizen; of the
ups and downs of the earlier days, con-
trasting them with the monotony and
confinement of work in the courts as
Judge and the unpleasant duties that
sometimes fall upon judge which
might and ought to be remedied by
society.
A most interesting feature Of the
evening was the singing of an old well.
known hymn by the old and new choirs
who stood side by side on the platform.
The old choir sang the former and the
present choir singing the latter part of
the hymn. Mrs. Hisey, who was organ

Evening Success.
The last services were held in the old
church last Sunday when Rev. G. b.
Allen, ID. d., of Detroit, preached both
morning and evening. The day was
one of the most eventful in the history
of the church. Many have said that
the M. e. church never had brighter
outlook, a more loyal constituency and
more generous support than at the
present time. All this was genuinely
verified by the doings of last Sunday.
DR.. Allen, the matchless church or
ganizer and money raiser, instructed
the pastor to have the officials of the
church meet on Saturday evening to
line up and arrange the program for
Sunday.
His first suggestion was that no less
than a thousand dollars be called for
as an Easter offering to help the new
church enterprise. At first there was
a look of timldity on the faces Of most
all that were present. Soon the feeling
of fear gave way to courage, and one
and all said, "Dr. Allen. go to it,"
That was enough. Before the services
closed on Sunday evening, the amount
raised, together with the pledges sent
in on Monday, footed over $l,20000.
This was splendid start for the spring
work in resuming the construction of
the new building.
The choir, as usual, did their best.
Many, at the close of the evening
service, spoke of their experiences in
the church, and all present will ever
remember the last religious services
held.
The pastor desires to thank all who
took any part during the day by sub
scribing to the building fund or in any
other way in helping to make the effort
so great success.
