Mr. Edmunds hag been the prime mover in ' i the process of resuscitation for the "Old , . Brick" which began with the first grand . rally in 1909 and lie has ahown remarkable energy in intereating people and '■ in raising funds. Mr. Wanamaker has known him well, since his boyhood and has been a strong friend of himself and bis family. The morning program had been concluded and Mr. Edmunds was , — - •

e about to take charge of the meeting, as 1 i usual, for the »urpose of securing the ' money desired. Mr. Wanamaker step, t 3 ped to the front and placing his hand , s on Mr. Edmunds' shoulder said: "Perry, t you have given your time and money , without stint to help this good cause ' . i. long and now before you begin the 1 t "begging," 1 want to ask you to do one , j thing more, the -greatest thing, you , promised your sainted mother that you 8 would become a. Christian. My dear fel- ' j low, give your heart to uod now." Per- < 5 rv. in a broken voice replied, "I will do < it." and Mr. Wanamaker said "Bless ( ^ you, by dear fellow." Nearly the entire congregation was ' j moved to tears. At the conclusion of . the afternoon service Mr. Wanamaker e offered a special prayer for him. The folowing committee ' was appoint- 1 j ed, according to agreement, to select a . member of the Board of Trustees to represent the contributions to the Endowment Fund, and to assist in properly investing it: X. Perry Edmunds, , W. L. Cummings. Hon. H. H. El- ] dredge, John W. Reeves, C. W. Richardson. Other particular features of the day 1 were poems written in commemoration, > by Mrs. S. R. Goff.

It «»s placed on the left hand "side, of | the pulpit and was inscribed: , 1802-1880 I Rev. Moses Williamson 1 Minister and Educator ' •'"-tor of Cold Spring Presbyterian . Chutfh ' 1831-1873 The presentation on behalf of the donor. Captain Eli D. Edmunds, was made by D. Lerov Reeves, son of Formor Sheriff John W. Reeves, in a most ' f eloquent address full of interesting 1 facts of the career of the >evered late ] . |«»stor. It was received by the presi- . dent of the oBard of Trutees. Judge II . H . Eldredge. in a most apropriate ^ and feeling address. 1 r Hon. John Wanainaker's address was t a most interesting, sympathetic and ap- . preciativo one and was much enjoyed. ■ ,.*Z James R. Johnson, who spoke j in the afternoon, was entertaining and i full of valuable instruction. He read I 'several selections with great vigor and I kest the audience in laughter by his i telling hits.
