Dr. Anderson was uie lirst pastor ot

and the oiiurch greatly blessed during
his pastorale oi sixteen years. The
congregation have been worshipping in

down town. In addition to the dedica.?oi?
service preparation is beng made
lor the coining ot Dr. Thacker April

Van Wyck l'resbyterian Church: We
have for the past eighteen months been
using the ^ietnodist church. The Meth
odists made us welcome and worshipped
with us. On tiie hrat sabbath in February
utter inoruing service, 1 requested
the congregation to adjourn to the
new brick building, where we held a
meeting oi session, and with the consent
ot congregation determined we
should iinish the interior oi the building
' before we open tue church at all. So
with uuothcr live hundred dollars the
l.ouse wil be finished, and opened, we
trust, in April, These good folks have
done a grand work in erecting such a
house of worship, they are only 28 in
' number. We feel sure Bethel Presbytery
will stand hy them, and grant them
a man 10 break to them the bread of
! life.

Sarasota: Dedication services were ra*
held February J6th, when the stone
church, built some two years ago, was Sc
dedicated free of debt By the generosity
of one of tho friends of the con- ^
gregatton the church was finished by ad
being beautifully decorated. The interior
woodwork was stained in weathered
oak finish and floors stained and
waxed, while the walls were finished in b?
shades harmonizing with the colors of ni
c]i
the stained windows.
At tue dedication itev. W. B. Y. WilDj
kie, D. D., of Dunedin, preached in. tho
morning and conducted the service.
HiB most timely and helpful sermou ^
was appropriate and scholarly, and was ?*
liKtpnuH tn u/ith nprfect attfintion bv a
congregation that tilled all the avail- *n
able space in the church. In the even- cl
te
ing Dr. J. E. Henderson, of Brandentown,
was the preacher, the church be.
?. .. ....... ?? ? ? In
ing again wen imeu. airs. it. o. guinea,
ui
of New York, rendered very line solos
at each o? the services. ^
The Sarasota congregation was or- g]
ganlzed just seven years ago, and by a
coincidence, on February 16th, with 11 ^
charter members, of whom three re- w
main in the church to-day. ^
For some three years the little hock ^
was ministered to during the winter by ^
Kev. K. G. Wallace, D. D., a United
Presbyterian minister, who made this n
point his winter home. <He, together ^
with Elder C. V. S. Wilson, kept the n
services going in a private house. Eld- t)
er Wilson lived Just long enougih to see ^
the church building erected, passing to ^
his rnward r little over two voa.rs aeo. -
Dr. Wallace preached his last sermon a
In the church in &iay, 1911, and on the p
next Sabbath day his body rested In j
the church waiting to be shipped to his x
old home in Ohio. T
Rev. J. Fraser Cocks took charge of c
the field in September, 1910. Twenty- c
five have been added and the total t
membership to be reported now is 43. j
During the winter the congregations ?
are too large for the present building, 1
and some additional seating accom- f
modatlons will have to be provided for j
the next winter season. The Presby- ,
terian tourists who spend their winter.*
In Sarasota are church-goers and at a
morning service seats are at a premium.
Tne congregation uses the Duplex f
System as recommended by the As- '
sembly and conducts an every member ^
canvass, so that the amounts contribut- 1
ed to Benevolences are growing in a 1
very satisfactory way.
At present the question of building <
a manse is being discussed and may *
probably be started during the early 1
summer, ' '
