...Gordon conducted the meeting and after the reading of the nineteenth Psalm, gave a short sermon. He took as his text the incident of Mary being excluded from the inn prior to Christ's birth.

The choir sang the anthems, "It came upon the midnight clear," by Sullivan; "Thus said the Lord," from the Messiah, sung by Mr. Richardson, of Boston, and Gounod's "Nazareth...
