only answer.

THE EVENING SERVICE 
The largest audience of the day 
attended the evening exersises, which 
began wtih a praise service. The feat- 
ure of the evening celebration of the 
anniversary was the reading of a 
splendid paper sketching the history 
of the Congregational church in Man- 
chester. It was written and read by 
Dr. R. T. Glendenning, who spent 
several months upon its preparation. 
Extracts from it are printed upon an- 
other page. An original poem was 
read by Deacon Joseph A> “Lorrey. 
Deacon Torrey explained that his in- 
spiration for the poem was the legend 
of Pharaoh’s Islands. A desert island

he likened to the spiritual source of 
power in God. 
“The Future of the Church” was 
the subject of a brief address as a 
conclusion to the day’s celebration by 
Rey. Charles A. Hatch, pastor of the 
church. 
“It is the duty of our church to 
maintain an efficient organization,” 
said Mr. Hatch. “It must recognize 
conditions in the outside world anu 
must take notice of conditions in 
Manchester which are not what they 
should be. The church should be 
organized on the principles of Jesus 
Christ. It should reach out and grip 
men with the spirit of Christ. It. 
should touch the entire community. 
The future of the church will depend 
a great deal upon the method of hold- _ 
ing up the ideal of Jesus employed by — 
its organization.”

the Manchester church in 1913, is the
