27. VOTE OF THANKS : -
At this point, the President of the day, in alluding to the successful issue of the commemorative undertaking, deemed it proper to say, that in the preparations made, while many daugh- ters had done well, it seemed to him by no means invidious, but

highly becoming to single out in commendation one (Miss Maria Stanton), for the earnest, indefatigable, and efficient manner in which she had labored to have everything done worthy of the Church and the occasion.
After additional remarks of similar import by the pastor, a motion was made and unanimously adopted, thanking Miss Stanton for all she had done and so well done, to make the Bi- Centennial Commemoration a triumphant success.
28. DOXOLOGY, by the choir.
After a day of great enjoyment, the services were brought to a close by a benediction from the Rev. Paul Couch. The sing- ing throughout was most magnificent, and added greatly to the pleasure of the occasion. "Old Lang Syne " thrilled the au- dience, and moistened many an eye. The rendering of the Solo by Miss Fisher of Boston was surpassingly beautiful, and moved all hearts by its pathetic tenderness.
Taken as a whole, the celebration was a splendid success, far exceeding, in every point of view, the most sanguine expectations of the managers and all interested, and is largely attributable to the unwearied and efficient labors of the ladies of the Church, Society, and surrounding community, and they are deserving of great praise for the success of the undertaking. The ladies and gentlemen prominent in the churches and communities in all " the region round about," rendered most important services, and contributed largely by their cheerful labors in bringing about the grand result.
The Church, Society, and Managing Committee were laid under the greatest obligations by the generous contributions of materials, flowers, and refreshments from all who participated in the celebration, and return to them their grateful acknowledg- ments.
It was estimated that during the day more than three thousand persons visited the church and grounds, and so ample and com- plete were the arrangements for refreshments, that, so far as known, all were liberally supplied, and at the close of the day more than seven baskets full were taken up and distributed among the deserving, which were gratefully appreciated.
And as the hour of parting came, all hearts were deeply im-

pressed with reverence and respect for the noble men and women who laid the foundations of the old Church, and gratefully felt that
" They left unstained what here they found, Freedom to worship God."
