congregation that reached far and
away into the church yard.
The combined choirs of Magnolia,
Frederick and Barratt's led the con-
gregational singing. Other special
features were singing by the Sails
bury male quartet and two very
beautiful solos by Rev. j. II. Brasil
er and Rev. C. F. Carpenter.
The invocation was made by the
District Superintendent, w. Z. Hab-
bard. Rev. B. F. Warren of Rehoboth
who preached his first sermon in
Barratt's Chapel at the age of 16,
introduced the minister of the oc-
casion, Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, of
Washington, d. c. He choose for
his text First Thessalonians, WIS.
Comfort One Another" From the
moment he began to talk the spirit
of reverence pervaded the vast aud
ience. From his storehouse of rich
experience he was able to give illus
trations of the need of tender con-
Germ for human happiness. His
frank and straightforward remarks
concerning the enemies of our COM
fort, peace and safety were received
with much approval. He emphasized
the importance of salvation rather
than the accumulation of riches.
His fine sense of humor was also
greatly enjoyed. Following the SER
mon the ordination of Rev. Sydney
B. Bradley of Chester-Bethel
Church of Boothwyn, Pa, took place
in the chapel. The Rev. Bradley
knelt upon the star in the place
which marks the spot where Coke
and Asbury met. In the ritualistic
service Bishop Hughes was assisted
by Rev. w. E. Habbard, District Su-
perintendent; Rev. ]. H. Whedbee,
pastor of the church, and Rev. ]. d.
Davis. During the service Bishop
Hughes summoned the father of
Rev. Mr.. Bradley and had him place
his right hand on his sons left
shoulder. He summoned the minis
ter's wife and had her place her left
hand on his right shoulder. The
Bishop then proceeded with the ser
vice. At the conclusion Rev. Mr..
Bradley was presented with a Bible.
Many beautiful associations will al
ways cluster around this historic
