excellent response. Now let's hear

As usual, Chairman Stanton
Adams is not making any pre-
dictions as to the money to be col
lected January 10Th in the one
night polio drive. But he has con-
fidence in the Mothers who will
March, and the East Clevelanders
who will give. They never let the
town down yet in a polio drive.

of the pulpit, the Communion Table
the elder and clergy chairs and
the baptismal font as the sane
tuary of the First Presbyterian
Church was remodeled. All will
be dedicated at two identical
services to be held Sunday, jan
uary 10th at $3.50 and II a. M,
respectively.
DR.. Howard NJ. Wells, the pastor,
will conduct the services. DR.. Will
liam J. Macleod, head of the
department of philosophy at Bald
win-W Wallace College will preach
the sermon. DR.. Macleod conducts
one service each month at Old
First.
The service for dedication is as
follows:
Organ Prelude: "Preludio"
(R h e in b erg er), "Benedictus
(Reger); The Introit: "Sanctus"
(Mozart).

Trumpet Tune and Air" (PurcelD.
Explaining the traditions, DR..
Wells points out that in Presby-
terianism, the pulpit with the open
Bible on it, and the Communion
Table are the center of the worship
service. For this reason they hold
the central place in the sanctuary.
The Communion Table, which
heretofore has been on the lower
part of the sloping floor of the
sanctuary, is now on the platform,
in full view of the congregation at
all times. Along the further side
are five elder chairs, close together
in bench fasion. This brings to
mind the idea of being around the
table in the communion fellowship.
The tall backs of the chairs grad
ually lift the eyes to the still higher
located pulpit.
On the Communion table, which
is inscribed with the words "Who-
soever will let him come" are the
pewter cup used in the congrega-
tions first communion service in
1909, and a pewter tankard, a
replica of an early Colonial design.
The table is the gift of the Burton
family in memory of Erasmus d.
and Emeline Merriam Burton. The
tankard is in memory of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert j. Scott.
There are two inscriptions on
the pul it,. From the pews one
reads "In y beginning was the
Word" On the opposite side, fac
