Golden Jubilee Anniversary Banquet
What proved to be very successful
and highly colorful event marked
the elimination of the Fiftieth Ami
versary Celebration of Peoples
Church, in the Samuel H. ROBBIE Hall,
Y.M.CA. last Thursday evening when
the Golden Jubilee Banquet was held,
despite subtle influences at work by
a certain "Divine" to have the same
called off, at the last moment. Much
was accomplished in the way of mu-
tual helpfulness and understanding,
when people of all races, nations and
classes and from all churches, gath
cred round the festive board to inter
change ideas and commonplace to
rejoice in the fifty years of achieve
ment, and to pledge unstinted sup
port to the church in the future years.
With the rise and fall of nations,
set-ups, with an everchanging method
of doing things, it is praisworthy on
the part of the church to have success
fully weathered the storms of persecu-
ton and doubt, stemmed the tides of
temptation and failure, holding tena-
ciously to her desire to serve, and pass
the fiftieth milestone with colors fly
ing. Where averice and greed struck
herculean blows against the citadel of
human convictions, the church stood
in the very foreground of the battle,
offering strength to wavering ones.
At the head of these festivities sat
the Honorable John W. Macleod, ex-
State representative, acting as Master
of Meremonies, fanked on one side by
Mayor Edward J. Woke, and on the
other by Hon. Leo P. Casey, Superin-
tendent of the Chelsea Schools, to-
gether with business and professional
men. Scintillating and encouraging
addresses were given by the following
Mayor Edward ]. Woke, Leo P. Casey,
George Kimball, Revs. L. A. Duren,
c. Guy Robbins, R. T. Reed, Comman-
der Edgar MaAshallsef the American
Legion Of Chelsea of which Rev. Full
Ter is a member, Samuel Paulive,
prominent business man, and Rev. L.
M. Fuller.

Flag, from that body. The Boston

and Irish Songs so pleasingly that
Mayor Woke remarked: 81 have had
very hard and tiresome day, but after
hearing these fine singers sing these
fine songs, my tired feeling has left
me-" Mrs. Blanche Diggs was the
very efficient director of the Jubilee
Singers, assisted by Margaret Benson.
