Book Description

Excerpt from Commemorative Services on the Semi-Centennial Anniversary: Of Pastorate of Rev. John Chambers, Over One Congregation, Ninth Presbyterian Church, First Independent Church, Chambers Presbyterian Church, May 9th to 14th, 1875 Long before the hour set for commencing the services a large crowd gathered at the Church-door, and it became apparent that the building would be filled to its utmost capacity. In anticipation of this, the Trustees had reserved the seats for pew-holders until ten o'clock, after which time the entire house filled up with remarkable rapidity. Seats were placed in all the aisles, and the people occupied the space to the very doors of the edifice. Before the exercises commenced, Lodge 51, A.Y. M., accompanied by the officers of the Grand Lodge, who desired to honor their Senior Grand Chaplain and fellow-member, came into the Church, about one hundred in number, and occupied seats provided for them in the middle aisle.
