CELEBRATION Fiftieth Anniversary OF THE FOUNDING OF THE Second Reformed (Dutch) Church NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY, 19., 20. February, 1893. PUBLISHED BY THE CONSISTORY. 1893- Printed by The J. L. Murphy Publishing Co., Trenton, N. J. K Wb PREFATORY NOTE. The Second Reformed Church of New Brunswick was organized in 1843. As the fiftieth anniversary of that event approached, the Consistory felt that it was eminently proper that fitting notice should be taken of the occasion. Some months before the day came around preparations for it were begun. Early in November, 1892, a resolution was passed by Consistory that the semi-centen- nial should be duly celebrated on Sunday and Monday, February 19th and 20th, 1893, and, although the Committee on Arrange- ments and Invitations was not formally appointed until the follow- ing January, yet the congregation were informed of the intention of Consistory, and entered with great interest and enthusiasm on the necessary preparations, the ladies of the congregation offering every co-operation in their power. A plan of celebration was finally arranged, and the pastor and Messrs. Adrian Vermeule and Edward B. Voorhees were appointed a committee to carry it out. It was decided that an Historical Discourse should be preached by the pastor on the morning of Sunday, February 19th; that all the former pastors then living should be invited to deliver addresses on the evening of that day, and that there should be a social meeting of the congregation, with brief addresses by city pastors and others, on the evening of Feb- ruary 20th, in the Sunday School room. All these arrangements were most happily and successfully carried out. Invitations were published in Morrison, Eleanor, Morrison, Etta H.> Muilenburg, Teunis N., Miiller, Gertrude, Miiller, Louisa F., Munn, Anson F,, Murray, David, Murray, Martha N., Myers, Isaac S., Myers, Juliette N., Myers, Christiana, N.
