St. Andrew's Will Celebrate

The Seventy-fifth Anniversary of Its Organization

On Next Sunday

Eminent Divines Will be Present and Former Rectors Take Part–Services the Following Week

Next Sunday St Andrew's church will observe the 75th anniversary of its foundation. At the morning service the Right Reverend, the Bishop of Michigan, Dr. Davis, will be the celebrant and will make an address, and the Right Reverend, the Bishop of Western Michigan, Dr. Gillespie, who was rector of the parish from 1861 to 1875, will preach the sermon. One feature of the morning service will be a brief service relating to the Palmer memorial tower. This special service will consist of a procession by the choir and clergy down the south aisle of the Church, where appropriate collects will be said and then a return to the chancel, during which the 122d Psalm will be repeated by the Bishop and congregation. At the evening service, Dr. Arthur Lyon Cross, instructor in the department of history in the University, will read a historical account of the parish. On Monday, the 30th, which will be St. Andrew's day, there will be a parochial gathering in Harris hall with supper and appropriate toasts. Some of those who are expected to respond to toasts are: Bishop Davies, Bishop Gillespie, the Rev. William Galpin, who was the first curator of Harris hall, the Rev. William Gardam, who will answer for St. Luke's church, Ypsilanti, which is a younger sister of St. Andrew's, the Rev. Mr. Ninde, who will speak for the other churches of the city, President Angell, Mr. Sidney D. Miller, of Detroit, who graduated from the University in 1848, was confirmed in St. Andrew's parish, and who will speak for the trustees of the Harris Memorial Trust, and the Rev. Mr. Tatlock, the rector of the parish. In connection with the toasts letters will be read from invited guests who are unable to attend, among them a letter from the Rev. Dr. Wyllys Hall, who was rector of the parish from 1875 to 1883. It is expected that a considerable number of former members of the parish will attend the celebration.

The celebration will be extended so as to include the 'octave' of next Sunday, December 6, and on that day sermons will be delivered at both the morning and evening services by former assistants of the parish, of which fuller notice will be given later.
