Dr. Vermilye in different religious, charitable or literary institutions. The pulpit was occupied by the speakers of the occasion, and also the Hon. John Jay, the Hon. Seth Low, President-elect of Columbia College, Mr. John A. King, President of the New York Historical Society and the Rev. Dr. H. Y. Satterlee, while the members of the Great and Acting Consistories were seated in their usual pews on either side of the pulpit. One of our leading religious journals in its graphic report of the jubilee thus spoke: The pulpit was tastefully decorated with palms and chrysanthemums, and on the communion table was a large frame-work of white chrysanthemums edged with maiden-hair ferns, and on this white background in red carnations were the dates 1839-1889. The service was most impressive throughout, and the care which had been bestowed by the committee of arrangements was rewarded in a service of dignity and beauty, which admirably befitted the occasion. The music was marked by rare taste, both in the appropriateness of the selections and their rendition. The united choirs of the Collegiate Churches sang well, and their part in the services was not marred by ostentatious display. Besides the floral decorations in front of the pulpit there was on a stand near the desk a very beautiful basket of flowers, a voluntary offering from the Leake and Watts Orphan House.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book commemorates the 50th anniversary of one ministerâs service in the Collegiate Church, founded in 1628 as part of the Dutch Reformed Church in New York. Key figures in the churchâs long history are named, with special attention given to the career of the minister being honored, from his beginnings in Albany to the present day. This volume also examines the growth and changes the church has undergone over the years, including both physical expansions and alterations in ritual and practice.
