Excerpt from The People's Church Pulpit

The Congregationalist, printed at Boston, gave the following account of the religious services at the opening, and not the dedication, of the People's Church, in its issue of February 21. The People's Church' in this city was, for some reason, the hardest to dedicate of which we ever heard. It seems to have taken one day more than a week. Remembering how frequently persons do err, not knowing the Scriptures, the pastor of the church took the precaution to provide against his being charged like the Athenians, with spending his time in announcing some new thing, by printing within a scroll on the cover of the programmes, which he confidently believed would arrest the atten tion of every person receiving one of them, the following, found in the thirty - ninth verse of the twenty-third chapter of the third book of Moses, called Leviticus: Ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days. On the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath.
