Excerpt from The Semi-Centennial Celebration of the Park Street Church and Society: Held on the Lord's Day, February 27, 1859, With the Festival on the Day Following The pastors of Sister churches in the city of Boston, and other distinguished gentlemen between whom and the church there had existed any special bonds of alliance, were invited to be present through such parts of the celebration as their engagements would permit them to honor. Aged members of the church, and those most familiar with its early history, were solicited to furnish their reminiscences of the past; and those who had been connected with the choir in former years were invited to be present and lend their voices in the service of song. It was also resolved that a sketch of the proceed ings should be preserved in a Memorial Volume, for the use of the present members of the church, and of those who should come after them.
