West Nottingham Presbyterian Church
Commemorative Exercises

The two hundredth anniversary
celebration of West Nottingham
Presbyterian Church, held on Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday last,
proved notable and enjoyable
event, and one long to be. remem-
bered by those who were fortunate
enough to be able to attend any of
the exercises or assist in the three
day program arranged.
The celebration took on the form
of a real home coming for former
West Nottingham folks, and was
like big family reunion, old friends
meeting and greeting each other,
who inNmany cases had not met for
a lapse of years.
And this imposing old church, set
in the midst Of beautiful grove of
fine trees, backed by it's large and
well-kept cemetery, never presented
a handsomer appearance, having
but recently been repainted and
decorated outside and in, the large
auditorium showing to especial ad-
vantage at night, the reflected light
ing effect bringing out the beauti-
fully blended colorings of the newly
frescoed ceiling and walls.
The pastor, Rev. Thomas P. Nc
Kee, was the moving spirit of the
anniversary celebration, but the con-
gregation all had part in the carry
ing of it out SO successfully, the
ladies especially.
The centennial celebration of the
Woman's Missionary Society. ON Fri
day afternoon was given a quaint
setting by those taking part being
in costumes of the period in which
the meeting was supposed to be
held.
At five O'Clock the ladies enter
tanned at social tea, in the hospit-
able and bountiful manner for which
West Nottingham is famous.
Rev, Wm.. P. Finney, D. D., of
Lincoln University, delivered an ad-
dress in the evening. j

to two hours of good fellowship
