Excerpt from The One Hundredth Anniversary of the First Congregational Society Unitarian, Burlington, Vermont: January the Thirtieth to February the First Nineteen Hundred and Ten; The Sermon by the Rev. Wallace W. Fenn, D. D. And the Historical Discourse by the Pastor, Rev. Charles J. Staples
Fair days and open skies greeted the people of the First Congregational Society and their friends in the happy celebra tion of their hundred years existence as a Christian Church. It was a typical Winter season and a Vermont winter at its best, with abundant snow, clear yet not extremely cold. The audi ences were large and deeply interested. At the Sunday evening service the house was crowded in every part, many standing at the rear and perhaps a hundred unable to gain admittance. By the thoughtful initiative of the Baptist Church the evening services in that congregation and those of the First Church, Methodist and College Street Churches were suspended in honor of the occasion, for’which courtesy our Society extended a vote of appreciative thanks.
