NJ. p. Church Presented With
Singing Books and Flag
With fully one hundred and fifty
members and friends present Sun
day morning at the service, the first
part of the program cOmmemorating
the fifty years of it's existence was
held. This first church in Harring-
ton was started in 1880 with but four
members. Mrs. Rachel Smith, the
sole survivor of the quartet, was
present at the services. Rev. r. w.
Sapp, local pastor, congratulated
her for her long service. He then
accepted on behalf of the church
one hundred song books and an
American Flag and standard which
was presented by Mrs. George Top
pin, president of the Ladies' Bible
Glass. The books and flag were a
gift of the class. Mr.. Sapp read
lengthy letter of regret from Rev.
N. o. Gibson, the pastor of the
church when the new church was
built on it's present site. Rev. c. C.
Day, pastor of st. Luke's Church.
Philadelphia, Pa, was the morning
speaker, and introducing him,
though he needed no introduction,
Mr.. Sapp said he was probably the
most beloved of any of the pastors
that had served this church. Mr..
Day in opening his remarks said
that he left his own church at a
sacrifice but that it was pleasure
to be able to again serve the good
people of Harrington. deem 1t an
honor to be classed along with that
good old saint, Rev. ]. L. Staughn,
former pastor and who served the
local church four years, the same as
myself, said Mr.. Day. He then re-
called many pleasant memories and
mentioned the names of several true
and faithful members whose faces
were not among those present and
who since had gone to the great be-
yond. Rev. Day said there were
many others, but the few he men
toned just came to his memory as
he looked over his congregation. He
then congratulated the choir for
their excellent rendition of a diff
cult selection and said they were
good enough to take anywhere with
him. He recognized many of the old
faces in the choir, but remarked that
several new additions had been
made. Before starting his sermon
he looked around for Mr.. Charles A.
Smith, one of the oldest members of
the church, with a desire that he
make the closing prayer. His atten- |
ton was called to the fact that Mr.. !
Smith was present, being seated in |
one corner of the church. 1t took |
until past 1890 to conclude the SER
vice but it was enjoyed by every one |
present. Rain began falling before |
the services were closed and contin-
ued to rain the balance of the day, |
this probably cut down the attend
ance at the evening service at which |
time Rev. G. A. Morris, of Oxford,
Md, preached the sermon. Rev.
Morris is also a former pastor and
was on the charge when the new
Sunday school annex was built and
presented as a memorial by Mrs. Ora
c. Sapp, the new pipe organ was in
stalled during the time he was here.
