In April, 1885, the close of the first quarter-century of my ministry was celebrated by our church with very delightful festivities. Addresses were delivered by his Honor Mayor Low, Dr. McCosh, of Princeton, Dr. Richard S. Storrs, and the Hon. John Wanamaker, Post-Master General. A duodecimo volume giving the history of our church and all its activities was published by order of our people.
McCosh, for instance, as referee in the philosophic section as to the relation of the evolution theory and religion, said : "I am not sure that religion is entitled to insist that every species of insects has been created by a special fiat of God, with no secondary agent employed."
