THE MEMORIAL PORTRAIT GALLERY
Of great interest was the collection of the portraits of men and women who had gone to their reward and had from time to time been members of the Church, or had worshipped in its several meeting houses. Most generous and prompt was the response of the townspeople to requests made for the loan of pictures ; and hundreds of citizens besides our invited guests lingered for a while, and then returned many times to look at the pictures of those who in days that are gone had gathered in this historic church, and many of whom had labored with unceasing zeal in the Master's vineyard. No more appropriate part of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Celebration could have been undertaken than the memorial portrait-gallery; and while the work of the present-day Church should be aggressive and onward, still anniversary celebra- tions would fail in their mission, if we did not stop and consider the helpful influence, the unbounded loyalty, the devoted service and the earnest, conse- crated lives, that have been the heritage of our Church from those who have been members or worshippers within its walls. Many of the subjects of the portraits were not only active in the Church, but foremost in the work and life of the old town; and builded well the foundations of our present beautiful city. Many portraits were of those who in a quiet way had re- garded the First Church as their religious home; and while perhaps not active members, still had a part in the Church's history. Some were but slightly con-
I34
nected with the parish. Other pictures recalled those who had gone out from the Church into other fields and had labored long and faithfully until called to their reward.
Grouped on the south wall of the prayer meeting room, were the portraits, (so far as it was possible to obtain them) of former pastors and ministers who have been prominent in the religious life of the County.
This group included Rev. Thomas Allen; his son and successor Rev. William Allen, D. D .; Rev. Heman Humphrey, D. D., the third pastor; Rev. Henry P. Tappan, D. D., the fifth pastor; Rev. John Todd, D. D., the eighth pastor; Rev. Edward O. Bartlett, the ninth pastor; Rev. Jonathan L. Jenkins, D. D., the tenth pastor, who was serving the Church at the time of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Anniversary celebration in 1889; and Rev. William Vail Wilson Davis, D. D., the eleventh pastor, who died in 1910. There were also portraits of Dr. Stephen West of Stockbridge, who took part in the organization of this Church; Rev. Joab Brace, D. D., the father-in-law of Rev. Dr. Todd; Rev. Alvan Hyde, who was pastor of the Church at Lee from 1792 until 1833; and near by was the portrait of Rev. Solomon Allen, pastor of the Church at Brighton, N. Y., who often preached in the Pittsfield church, and was the brother of Rev. Thomas Allen and the father of Phinehas Allen, the founder of the Pittsfield Sun.
The portraits were artistically arranged on the walls of the prayer meeting room and parlor; their presence brought forth many expressions of feeling and many were the reminiscences and bits of history unfolded, until it almost seemed as though the good people represented by the portraits were here once again and helping us celebrate the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of the Church.

THE PAGEANT
PRELUDE
THE SPIRIT OF THE HILLS.
An Indian call is heard in the distance followed by a soft crooning melody drawing nearer and nearer, and an Indian warrior enters led by the Spirit of the Hills. Enter the Spirit of Religion. She bears a torch in one hand and a Bible in the other. Placing the open Bible before the Indian, she points to it as though explaining its teachings. The Indian raises the Book and as she points upward and onward he turns and follows her.
