Double Anniversary.
 o  /
Specially    Interesting
Services at the M.
E. Church  Tomorrow.
Tomorrow, Sunday, November
10, will be marked by services at
the Sewickley Methodist Episcopal
chuch observing two events, and
full of special interest not only to
every member of the church but to
Sewickleyans in general. It will be
a double anniversary, one of. these
a golden affair, the other recalling
an event of seventy years ago.
The organization of the church
took place in 1837, three score and
ten years ago, while the incorporation is dated November 13, 1852.
To fittingly observe these events
services will take place at the
church.
At 9 a. m, the Sunday school
will hold a short session, adjourning in time for the meeting, at 10
o'clock, in honor of the pillars of
' the church, who have been members for "thirty years or more.
This meeting will be in charge of
Dr. H. L Ghapman, former pastor
here, now of Uniontown. ' At ll
a. m. the Rev. M. J. Schleppy, another former pastor, now of the
Buena Vista Street church, Allegheny, will deliver an address regarding the 'history of the church.
This will be full of interest. At
7.45 in the evening the Presiding
Elder Rev. T. N. Boyle will preach.
Good music will add its. charm to
these assemblages. At the 10
o,clock service a special chorus of
the Men's'Glub'of the church, a
male chorus of over a score of
voices, will be heard. It will be in
charge of Mr. J. P. McDonald. At
the 11 o'clock service the regular
choir will sing a special anthem,
