FomIy Church in Heart of City Where Coolidge Came to Pray

as having been the church home
|of q President.
But there are many memories
among members. One is that
every Sunday morning the Cool
|idges were met at the door by
members of the Board of Trustees.
While the congregation stood,
ushers escorted these distin-
guished members to that pew
which is now marked by the little
bronze plate.
It was usual custom for the
minister to escort President Cool
idge and the assistant minister
to escort Mrs. Coolidge from their
pews, down the aisle, and to the
church door. The Coolidge boys
trailed behind. On occasion when
the regular minister was absent, a
guest minister would give the
sermon.
One guest minister following out
the regular minister's responsible
lily of accompanying the President
to the church door tells Of this
Experience:
He walked along down the aisle
with the President. There were
no words. No reference to the
sermon, whether good or bad. II
was a silent little journey. But
outside. the weather was bad, very
bad.
Rotten day." sincerely refer
ring to the weather. said laconic
Coolidge on leaving the minister
at the door! While this did hap
Ipen, there seems to be official
doubt as to the "sin" sermon
comment which made the rounds
about this taciturn member, the
30th President of the United
States.
One Sunday morning Charles
A. Lindbergh and his mother came
to church with the President and
Mrs. Coolidge. They sat imme-
diately behind the presidential
pew.
Mrs. Coolidge Aided Work.
Grace Coolidge, members recall
helped in various phases of church
activities. She gave her work a
personal touch. Once in Febru-
airy. 1929, after officiating at the
dedication of the Congregational
Home for the Aged, at 1890 Crit
tenden street NV, she clasped
the hand of each of the IL
elderly women living in the Home
and spoke personally to each.
To one she said, my mother
would have enjoyed knowing you.
Coming down the steps of the
First Congregational Church this
Sunday morning. ones thoughts
turned back to the pastors words;
"Our tears and our laughter are
often closer to each other thar
we think. because our joy is SC
often the ending of a deep sor.
row, and our sorrow Is so otter
the tragic fracture of an exquis.
lite joy. One is bound up in thu
Iother."
