Excerpt from Memorial of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Organization of the First Church The Service of Song was participated in by the Congregational and Episcopal choirs and other singers. The program, as printed on following pages, was essentially carried out, Hon. John W. Sanborn presiding. Rev. George O. Jenness, not being able to be present, the Invocation was given by Rev. Gardner S. Butler, pastor of the Congregational church at Union Village, in Wakefield, formerly a part of this parish. Rev. William Lloyd Himes, the Rector of the Church of St. John the Baptist, also in Wakefield, led the Responsive Reading of the Psalms 122 and 148: 1-16, the people giving the responses heartily. After the hymn following the Historical Address, Hon. Seth Low, the Mayor of Brooklyn, the great grandson of Richard Dow, one of the pioneers of the church, gave a cordial and capable address. In the afternoon the services were in charge of Pastor Thompson, who led in the Responsive Reading of 23d Psalm and in prayer. The addresses were informal and not preserved for publication, but their equivalents are placed upon the following pages for our satisfaction and for their's who shall come after us.
