AS was announced last week on
former pastor, Rev. Vinol q. Hill
Of Wilmington, was here. on Sundal
morning and occupied the pulpit il
honor Of the 25th anniversary of tn
laying of the cornerstone Of Salen
NJ e. Church Of which Rev. Hill
was the builder in 1911-1912.
The present pastor, Rev. Roy T
Thawley, was under the impression
that the formal ceremonies for the
laying of the cornerstone took place
in July 1911 and the dedication ser.
vices July IA, 1912, but Rev. Hills
was well able to solve some of the
misunderstanding and said for Vari-
GUS reasons the cornerstone was
held open until the dedication of the
church when the formal ceremonies
for both events took place on the
same day. Rev. Hills said in look
ing over the audience he realized
twenty-five years has made a great
change, as there were only fifty faces
he recognized. The Senior Choir
sang the same hymns that we're used
at the dedication services, but there
were also several faces, and voices
missing. Preceding the sermon Rev,
Thawley read the scripture lesson
from the 18th chapter of the Acts of
the Apostles-the story of Paul being
stirred when he saw the whole city
of Athens in idolatry and an altar
with the inscription ITO The I'm
known God" The theme of Rev
Hills sermon was THE Unknown
God of America"
