hour for morning worship the spacious edi
fice was JllHd with a large audience which
was noticeable for the /lumber ot elderly
people , the pioneers of this city and county ,
who were present. The decorations of tbe

great eklll and taste. The pillars along the
front of the church and the sides of the
chancel were draped with bunches of ripe
grain , the arch between the main audience
loom and the parlors was festooned with
large strings of evergreen and asparagus
caught up and fastened tit the center with
the monogram "C. E. " In gilt. In front of
the pulpit was a life-size craven portrait
of Itcv , Isaac E. Hcatou , founder of the
church , and around the pulpit wcru gioupcd
palms aud banks ot cut flowets. The musical
servlcta under the direction of Mrs. Jean A.
liovd were especially appropriate for the
occasion. The numbers were as follows.
Autheui "Gloria , " ( Mozart's Twelfth MJSS ) ,
by a double quartet ; anniversary limn ,
composed for the occasion by Ilev. W. II.
HUSH , by choir and congregation ; response ,
"Hear Us , 0 Father ; " hymn composed for

by llcv L F. Herry of Ottumwa , la. , the
second prayer by Itev. Samuel Pearson of
West Point , and the benediction was pro
nounced by lr. J. D Stewart of Auiora.
The anniversary sermon was delivered by
Key. W. II. Buss and his subject "Ihe Ap
peal of Our God-Kept IVst , " his text being
Deuteronomy ill 7 and Iv 3.
EAHLY DAYS OF THE CHUHCH.
The history of this church , he eald , maybe
bo expressed In the words of the text , "These
forty jears the Lord our God has been with
us. " In reviewing the evidences ot this fact ,
the hlstorj of the church be divided Into four
decades. The first he denominated the
foundation period. The church was organized
Hev. Isaac E. Heatcn , who came here in
1SDC , after nineteen years' work in the homo
missionary field In the then new state of
Wisconsin. Mr. Hcaton arrived hero on the
2Sth day of October of that year , accompanied
by his family. At that tlmu there were loss
than a scoie of people here , about GOO In
Omaha and not over 5,000 in the ecUlre state
The first sermon ever delivered In this re
gion he preached the following Sunday at
the residence of $ . P. Marvin. The follow
ing August the church was organized , with
seven members the pastor , his wife and
father , Messrs. Barnard , Davis and Pierce
aud Mra. Alicia Marvin. During the period
of the civil war Rev. Mr. Heaton's pulpit gave
forth no uncertain sound. Ills tnllucnce was
exerted tor the triumph of liberty and patriot
ism. The first church edifice owned by the
new organization was a small frame buildIng -
Ing originally Intended as a residence. In
1SC7 a new edifice of frame , 28x44 feet with
dome , tower aud bell , was erected and dedi
cated on the eleventh .anniversary of Its or
ganization. During the successive pabtorates
of Revs Chase. Foster and Porter the church
Increased in numbers , power and influence
During the third decade , which he called the
period of enlargement , the old church proved
too small , the present commodious church
edifice was erected and -valuable organ pur
chased and the membership multiplied by
four. The first five years of the fourth decade
were years of great material prosperity and
the church shared In this plenteousness.
During the last five years God has been
merciful to us. The church property has not
only been kept free- from debt , but materially
Increased. IA spirit of unity develops ana
grows from strength to strength.
He paid an eloquent tribute to the founder
of the church as a citizen , as a patriot and
as a man of God. The past appeals to us to
faithfully deliver Us sacred message to the
rising generation , to surrender not the old
and tried principles of the fathers , to dis
cern that the secret of their lojalty and
growth was a strong , clear cense and accept
ance of Individual responsibility and fidelity
to duty.
REMINISCENCES.
At 4 o'clock a memorial service was held
at the church , which was of especial Inter
est to the older members of the church , the
addresses consisting largely of reminiscences.
After scripture reading and prayer by Rev.
Amos Dresser , short addresses were made
and papers read by many of the older mem-
ben. Hon. E W. Barnard , one of the
original members , spoke of the difficulties
and sacrifices attending tbe management of
the church during Its early history. At one
tlmo the material bad been purchased for the
erection of a building , but some wandering
Indians set fire to It and It was burned. Mrs.
Mary Gajlonl spoke of the part taken by the
women In pioneer religious life. Mm.
Miranda Heaton , widow of Kev. Isaac E.
Wcaton , told of their trip to Nebraska , how
providence seemed to point the way to this
city and of the small and seemingly Insigni
ficant beginnings of the church. Remarko
were also made by Rev. L. F. Uerry , Deacon
Horlow Goft and Dr. Harmon llross. At the
close of the remarks the eacrament of the
communion was administered by Rev. Amos
Dresser and Dr. Brews.
The Sunday evening service was of espe
cial Interest There were no services at the
other churches and the capacity of the
building was taxed to the utmost. The music ,
as at the morning service , was worthy of
especial mention ,
GROWTH OP CHRISTIANITY.
After a brief address by Rpv. J. B. Chase
of Coirectlonvllle la. , the second pastor of
the church , Rev , L. F. Berry of Ottumwa ,
la , , spoke on "Modern Christianity ; Is It
Coming Nearer to the Standard of Christ's
Teachings. " The term modern Christianity
bo Uetlued as Christianity as U Is commonly
Ecen In the life ot the Christian of today ,
the outward aspects of which are to be
found In the life of the average Christian.
The question of his subject he answered In
the alllrmatlvo , and as proof thereof spoke
of the manifest thrusting forward of
Christianity Into the centers of the life of the
time. It was formerly taugnt that the
Christian has no room for the great Inter
ests , political , social , artistic , scientific and
economical , which exercise and train the
faculties of mankind The real separation
of the Cbrktlan from the world should bo In
spirit rather than In the outward relations
and IntlmaclM of life. The province of
Christianity is enlarging and making Itself
felt In all departments of life In social , In
dustrial and political realms , In the govern
ment of municipalities and In the demand
for a higher citizenship , In the Idea that
ChrUtlanlty Is a life and not a creefl , In the
hope of having not only Individuals , but
society at large. The bible Is being studied
much more than formerly ; they are looking
to Its meaning related to the context. Aa
an Illustration of Its hold upon the people
at large he instanced the fact that the
themes of the leading books of fiction that
have gained a large hold uj > on the popular
mind within the last few jeurs are dis
tinctively religious or boclal and Industrial ,
with strongly religious aspects , and referred
to the writing * of Mrs. Humphrey Word , of
Lew Wallace Hall Calne and Dr , John Wat-
eon , lu the unity aud harmony of trutlu
biblical , scientific , philosophical , historical
and of the human couaciousnera , modern
Christianity bos confidence in the unity of
truth and the ultimate 'demonstration of Its
unity.
