Announcement of a nationwide
celebration of the Tooth Anniver-
sary of the founding of the Do
mestic and Foreign Missionary
Society of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, to culminate in a
thanksgiving service November
9Th, for the notable centennial
has been made.
The history of this society, the
announcement points out is prac-
tically coterminous with the his
tory of the Government of the
United States. Its roots reach
back to 1855, two years
before the adoption of the Con-
stitution of the United States,
when the Constitution of the in
dependent American Church was
framed, in large measure by the
same men who later drafted the
National Constitution. The Con-
vention which brought into ex-
istence the Missionary Society
was presided over by the Rt.
Rev. William White, Bishop of
Pennsylvania, who had served
as Chaplain of the old Continen-
tai Congress, and numbered
George Washington among his
parishoners of Christ Church,
Philadelphia. Francis Scott Key,
author of The Star Spangled Ban
ner, assisted in drafting the Con-
stitution of the Society.
