Tiie church being one hundred years old, the congregation declded te colebralo the ovent In a befitting style. The result h that almost the eutlre nelghboerhod took a holi day, and ever ene thousand peeple gathored at the church. The schools in the neighbor' heed were cloned for tl.e occasion and scholars and toacherit allke turued out te nt tend the eiorclsea. The crowd was one of the most Intelligent and atteutlra ever seen In tliat soctlen el the county. Besides roprenoiitatlvo from every town In the eastern end of the county thore wero peeple present from Philadelphia, New Yerk, Lancaater, Heney brook, Wesl Chenter, Downlngtewn and etlier places. The day ww eelebrated In a manner ue or te be for gotten by these who had the geed fertune te be present, as people of all denomination v turned out te de honor te the occasion. The weather was the beat that the present sl min istration could send from Washington, and there were Just enough cool air during the day te keep the sun moving around at a very brisk rate te twlhiice Recounts. The celebra tion was a brilliant success In erery particu lar and was acredlt net only tolliticengrega. tfen of the church, but te the pastor ami the neiguoeruoou in general. intkiiestine msTeiir iu:cAU.i:i. The Cedar Grove church is net the eldest ' of Its kind in this county, but the manner In which the people celebrated their Drat one hundredth anniversary showed that they are net by any means behind. Thore Is consid erable intoreating history connectod w Itli the church and congregation, and the Ixst Iclea or both can be had by reading a llttie pain- Jihlet which was written by the late ltd v. ehu Leenard, I). I)., in 1863. It is entitled " The History of the Cedar Grove Prosbyte. rlan Uhurch and Congregation efHCaat Karl township, I-ancnster County, Pa." The history shows that inore than ene hun dred years age, many persona of the Prosby Presby terlnn faith settled In that locality, and con siderably ever a century age the Pequea church was organized, although but little of Its early history is known. The first place of worship ter the Cedar (Irove congro cengro congre pstlon was en the preperty of Keliert Wal lace, Hlue Hall. On this spot a platform was orected with seals for the congregation, and it was called the Run. The date or the he- f Inning of the church at the Hun cannot be earned, but Iter. Itobert Smith, D. I)., was the preacher. A story Is told te the effect that ene day In the year 1775 the congregation was at worship and in the midst of the sermon a number of rattle, followed by dogs came running towards the congregation. An Infuriated bull ran among the people, caus- lugVonsternatieu. Tbe ladle especially were thrown Inte excitement and Dr. N.nlth was unable te resume his discourse. Alter that for ten years ttie gospel was preached every eighth Sabbath at the Hun. In lifij the congregation resolved te select a mero eligible slte ler a place of preaching, and the spot where the present church new J stands attracted their attention. Theto was a beautiful grove el cedars at the place and a spring near by. On this slte a platform was erected beneath a large whlte oak tree which steed en the northwest corner of the church yard, and was cut down but a few years age. Here Dr. Htntth first steed en the platform and preached the gospel te tbe congregation. HI nee that time the spot has been hallowed f ;round, and te-day the doctrine, proclaimed y him Is still preached. Twe years after Dr. Smith preached en the platform erected In the midst of the cedars the congregation purchased of Aloxander Mellvaln ene hundred and ten perches of land Immediately around the laud whero they worshiped. About the tlme the article of agreement was drawn 'In 170) tbocougro tbecougro tboceugro gation orected a church en the bikjI new oc ec cupld. Frem the greve of cedars the church received its name. In 171)1 a deed of convey ance waa in ado of the land te the trustees of the church. Previous te that the only title te the land was an artlcle or agreement. Dr. Health continued te preach here every elght weaks for three years after the church had been erected, when a movement te obtain mere of his time was made. Dr. Hrulth romalned with the Cedar Grove and Pequea congregations until 1710 when tils death occurred, and he was burled lu the l'equea church yard. Ills successor was Iter. Wm, Arthur. He served the congre gations of I'equea and Oxlar Grove for twenty-two years, and w a followed by Amazlah Babbit, who was Installed April t, 1821, and remained until 1831. During his stay the old church edifice was tern down and a new ene erected, out of the same stones en the same foundation. It was dedicated in 1827. The Sunday school of the church was established In 1820. After Mr. Babbit leR, the presbytery upplled the pulpits or l'eriuea and Cedar Greve for two years, and In 1833 He v. Jehn Wallace was unanimously elected pastor. AS A SKPABATE CHURCH, In 1839 Cedar Grove was separated from Pequta and organized as a separate church. I Ue elders were Edward Da Haven and Jehn Wallace-; seen afterwards Jehn De Haven and Jehn Ualt were added. Cedar Grove was supplied for a year by the presbytery, and in May 1810 Hev. Alfred Neviu was Installed as pastor. He remained until 1813, when he re signed te accept a call In Chambersburg, and came te Lancaster In 1852. Rev. Wlllani Hun ter was Dr. Nevlu'ssuccosserand ha waa there until 1819. He was succeeded by Hey. Jehn Leamae, M. D., who remained te 1853. In 1850 the parsonage, a flne large building, was ' oreclod near tbechurcb,and In 1853 the church was repaired and remodeled. At the close or bis pasterale Dr. Leamau supplied tbe pulpit until 187a Frem 1870 te 1873 the pulpit was supplied by Hev. R. 1. Shaw and lu 1873 and 1874 by Hev. H.

He had listened te the long lists of names el old mombers as utter ed by soreral speakers, and recognized many prominent lu the church history, for the geed they had dene by uncoesing toil. None wero mero deserving of pralse, however, than the present pastor of the church, who is modest, unassuming, unproteutleus, but with a soul Ulled with the leve or Ged, be strives for the upholding of the Ho He Ho deomer's kingdom. It Is auspicious that the church begins a new century under such pastor.
