Narrative
The year just closed has not been one of memorial
growth with us & although we cannot point to any in-
crease in our membership yet we trust there has
been a growth of grace. Morning & evening ser
vices have been held regularly throughout the year (with
a very few exceptions in the evg. service when the roads were al-
most impassable) & the attendance at both has been en-
couraging. At the morning service our average attendance
has been about 125 & the evening about 97. Prayer
meetings held every Wed. evg. with an average attendance
of about 58. The youth of the church is well represented
at the services especially the Sabbath evg. service &
prayer meeting. The attendance at the Sabbath School has
been encouraging as has also been that of the "Junior"
U.P.S.C.E Societies.
The Womens Home & Foreign Missy Society has been active during
the past year in their work on behalf of missions. Rewards of
$63.00 has been sent by them to these Boards.
A young ladies Circle of "Kings" Daughters has been organized during
the year which, together with the previously existing Circle
has been active in charitable & philanthropic work both in
this neighborhood and elsewhere.
The benevolences of the church have been well sustained, con-
tributions have been made to all of the Board & these show a slight
increase over the previous year.
During the year we have commenced on some needed repairs to our
church building & also on the addition of a Sabbath School Room.
Already the Treasurer has real contributions for these purposes
amounting to almost $700.00. The work is now well under way &
we hope that before long we shall have a building better adapted to the needs
of our Sabbath School & Congregation. A Special meeting was held
in Feb in which we had the assistance of Rev. C.L. Work of Granville. The
the attendance at the meeting was encouraging & we trust that the results
though, not very apparent, have been real.

Narrative
The year just closed has not differed very greatly
from many in the past. But yet we feel
that these are not wanting signs of growth and
progress. The regular Sabbath services (morning
and evening) have been maintained throughout the
year & have been well attended averaging perhaps
130 present at the morning and 50 at the evening
service. The weekly prayer meeting has likewise
been regularly maintained with very encouraging
interest. The average attendance upon the service
has been about 30. Sabbath School &
The Young Peoples Societies (both Senior & Junior)
have been fully up to the average of former years.
The same may be said of the Women's Home and
Foreign Missionary Society & of the two Circles
of Kings Daughters all of which have been
diligent & faithful in the various lines of
Christian activity. The contribution to the several
Boards of the church have been up to the average
in some instances showing an increase, in
others a slight decrease. During the year the
repairs on the church Building have been com-
pleted & the church re-dedicated free of debt on Sabb.
Sept 11th the greater portion of the money then subscribed
has now been paid. During the year Philander Edminster
a member of our Session has been called to his great reward.

Narrative
The year just closed has not differed very greatly
from many in the past. But yet we feel
that these are not wanting signs of growth and
progress. The regular Sabbath services (morning
and evening) have been maintained throughout the
year & have been well attended averaging perhaps
130 present at the morning and 50 at the evening
service. The weekly prayer meeting has likewise
been regularly maintained with very encouraging
interest. The average attendance upon the service
has been about 30. Sabbath School &
The Young Peoples Societies (both Senior & Junior)
have been fully up to the average of former years.
The same may be said of the Women's Home and
Foreign Missionary Society & of the two Circles
of Kings Daughters all of which have been
diligent & faithful in the various lines of
Christian activity. The contribution to the several
Boards of the church have been up to the average
in some instances showing an increase, in
others a slight decrease. During the year the
repairs on the church Building have been com-
pleted & the church re-dedicated free of debt on Sabb.
Sept 11th the greater portion of the money then subscribed
has now been paid. During the year Philander Edminster
a member of our Session has been called to his great reward.
Above Narrative read before Session approved by them on
Sabb. morning April 9th 1905

With the Trenton Church the year just closed has

has had an average attendance of about 35.
The work of the Sabbath School & of the Young
Peoples Societies (Sen & Jr) has been prosecuted

Two weeks of special services were held in March
in Which the pastor had the valuable assistance
of the Rev Chas I. williams of Somerville, Ohio
though not resulting in a great numerical increase

The Session of the Trenton Ch in presenting
the Narrative for the year just closed would
report that the work of this church has not
differed materially from that of past years.

maintained throughout the year with an ^average attendance
of 85 at the former & 40 at the latter service
Sabbath School & Young People. Meeting ((illegible)
& Jun.) have likewise been maintained throught
the year with encouraging attendance & interest.
The Women's Societies ("H. & F. Miss Soc." & "King's
Daughters") have shown commendable faithfulness
& diligence in their work throughout the year although
the offerings from the Missy. Societies have not
quite come up to the ^high average of last year.
The weekly Prayer meeting has had an average
attendance of 25 throughout the year. All the
Boards of the church have been remembered
in our contributions. A slight falling off
is noticed in one or two instances but this

Narrative
In presenting our Narrative for the year just
closed we would says that it has not differed
greatly from others in the past. The continued
exodus from the farm to the city has affected us-
as it has all country churches - & a con-
siderable extent. And yet ^in spite of this the work of the church
has been carried forward throughout the year with
faithfulness. The attendance at both morning &
evening services is about as usual with an
average of perhaps 90 at the former & 40 at the
latter service. The Sabbath School & Young
Peoples Societies (both C.E. & Jun C.E.) have been
maintained & have come on their work with
faithfulness diligence. The Missy Societies
& the King's Daughters Circle have likewise been
faithful. Their contributions have been up to the
average (we think) of former years. The Weekly Prayer
Meeting has been maintained with an average attendance
of 18 or 20. All the Boards of the Church
have been contributed to the amount being
about the same as last year. Special
services were held for 10 days commencing Mar. 3rd.
In these services the pastor had the valued assistance
of Rev. D.D. Biggs, D.D. (synodical Missy.) Although no
direct results were apparent from the meetings in [illegible]
yet we feel that the church has been helped by
them. The total membership this year is 136.

Taking a look back over the year
Just passed we find our church in
a very favorable condition as compared
with former years. We started out
with a supply in the person of J M [illegible]
a baptist minister formerly of Sunbury
and at the fall meeting of Presbytery he
made application to come into our Presbytery
Our regular communion season have
been observed and a good attendance
on such occasions. We had a S.S.
picnic at Greenwood Lake Delaware in
August and a very pleasant time.
We sent representatives to all regular meetings
of Presbytery and also to most of the extras
We had a time coming in the autumn
which was attended by nearly all our
living pastors and supplies and a large
number of our old membership. A very
enjoyable season it proved to be for all.
Our Presbyterian Guild has kept up its
regular meetings during the year. They
have been remarkable well attended.
Our Young married men's bible class
"The Gideons" put on a lecture course
that was a success. Giving us a fine
course of entertainments at a reasonable
price and had enough money left to
make a neat sum for the famine relief
We also observed our custom of a
New Years dinner at the church at which
time a state speaker for the Farm Bureau
gave us an address. A goodly number
were present and an excellent time for all
Our Evangelistic meeting conducted
by Rev J.S. Bingham was very well
attended considering the bad weather and

A new bell was installed in the
belfry and it not proving satisfactory
was returned and another one installed
in its place. The manse has been
greatly improved by corking the windows
putting in new registers and return
air pipes to improve the heating
capacity of the furnace. A changing
of the water system that supplies the
kitchen and bath room.
A large bulletin board placed on corner
of church lot.
A tall flag pole planted in front of
Church
The taking down of the barn built to
accommodate a horse & buggy and
a cow with more room above moving
and rebuilding into a fine large
garage and work shop together with
a room for the Delco plant that was
formerly installed in the cellar
A new floor covering was purchased
and laid in our church parlor
A new aisle covering for our Church
and finally a new name for our
Church The First Presbyterian Church
of Condit O
All of which has been the direct result
of the energy skill and work man-
ship of our Pastor Rev C R. Thomas

we consider that ours is a rural
community and the farmers like
the farmers of the whole country
have suffered severely from the
worst depression the present generation
has ever known
The spiritual affairs have also been well cared for
Our congregation have been unusably
large. Our prayer meetings have
been well attended and intensely
interesting Our S. S. has flourished
better than usual
For all of which we feel like
Praising God for sending us such
a devoted laborer

We find ourselves without a
Pastor now as Rev Thomas has
Preached his last sermon today
On June 24th last a party of 4
men dropped in to hear our pastor
preach and as a result in the
following sabbath our pastor called
the officers of the church together after
the evening service and told us
in confidence that the men
were a committee from the Church
of Ada O looking for a candidate
for their pulpit.
Later the Ada Church gave
Rev Thomas a call and he accepted
We were loth to let him go but he
considered it a call to a larger
field of wider usefulness and we
gave him up fully appreciating
the splendid work he had done
in our midst while he was with
with us. Hoping we may be guided in
the work of selecting and calling a
new man by the spirit of the Lord.

Our annual New Years Community
meeting was held today.
A Goodly number were present and
all employed themselves.
We have succeeded in having
our Pulpit filled every sabbath
so far either with a Candidate or
a supply and our congregation
have been fairly large.
Have had a number of elderly men
as candidates that were capable and
efficient men but our congregation
has evidently set their hearts on
some young man. We are hoping
the right one will come soon.

Feb 8th On Jan 25 last we heard a candidate
from Chicago Rev J.F. Lee of McCormack Sen
a young man whose wife had been trained
in the Merdy Bible Institute of Chicago and
on Feb 1st we called the congregation together
to vote on a call to Mr Lee which resulted
in 26 votes in favor and 8 opposed
by balloting We then asked the con-
gregation to make it unanimous by a
rising vote which resulted in 26 votes.
The result of this vote was sent Rev Lee
and he accepted and today Rev Marshall
being present preached a sermon and after
moderated a meeting making out a call
and so our period of candidating ends

infirmities of age increased he was
less and less able to inspire its members
to material and spiritual understandings
than in former years. While we realize
that Mr Condit made mistakes as all
those who are leaders are sure to do
yet we feel that his successes far
outweigh his failures and that the
church owes much to his efforts for
which he usually received scant
thanks.
He was a faithful attendant of
the various church services and
thought the prayer meetings should
be kept up even though the attend-

DEDICATION OF
TRENTON PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
SUNDAY, MAY 25, 1879
The old Meeting House is discarder.
For a new and imposing Edifice,
of increased proportions, in design,
Yet permanently adapted the Christian worship
Of an Enlightened an Zealous Denomination
of God's People.
Notwithstanding the somewhat unpropitious state of the weather
on Sunday, that most acceptable day of rest, there was furnished
a brief season of exceptionable enjoyment, morally, socially and
religiously, for the good people of Trenton and adjacent townships.
the occasion being the consecration of an absolute model sanctuary
to the worship of the Almighty. The day had long been anxiously
looked forward to by the Presbyterian brethren and their interest
had arrived at its zenith on Saturday Eve. but only to be somewhat
dampened by the dawn of a dull and showery morning, which, however,
was such an inestimable boon for vegetation that they cheerfully
waived personal inconvenience, and in goodly number rallied to
the selected spot, for the day's observation. It is within half
a mile of Condit Station, directly south, at the first crossing
of the roads.
Presbyterianism in Trenton
It would be in keeping here, we may say, that as early
as 1836 there were formed sufficient devotees to the good faith
to secure the organization of a church. With such zealous work-
ers as Alvin Condit, A. C. Fink, Robt't Lewis, G VanDorn, Silas
Ogden and Alvin T. Condit, it is a small matter of surprise that
we find a church erected and consecrated the following year,
which though small, it will yet be clearly demonstrated, was
ample to foster ad promote the interests and affections of a
subsequent Church of gratifying proportion. In the humble Cot
(for it was little more) the true teachings of Christianity fell
like seed upon good ground, as we find 1866 a new and much
larger church had to be provided, affording increased facilities
for the prosecution of the noble mission in hand. Elated with
their success in the past, and invigorated with unction from
above in response to prayers that accompanied their sweet labors,
they steadily pursued their noble mission to the dawn of last
year.
When it became evident that their ranks were filling beyond
the capacity of their camp, under divine blessing, they again
resolved to meet the exigencies of the hour, and as a result of
their councils and a canvass for financial aid, in May last, the
foundation of a yet large Church was laid with becoming cere-
monies. the build committee entrusted with the supervision
of the work was Messars. I. A. Pierson, H. Wheaton, L. S. Condit, Enoch
Condit and E. Rice, who applied their united talents and energies
to a nobel work that will stand a lasting monument to their
Christian zealand devotion. For twelve long months was the work
carefully prosecuted with a single eye to economy and the perfect
completion of their task, and never were combined efforts more
successfully directed.

33 and 21 feet high. Its acoustic properties are excellent and
the method of ventilation by the side windows is perfect. From
the sanctuary and by an external side door a commodious commit-

handsomely designed stained glass, each being surmounted in its
curvature with a beautifully illuminated crown, anchor, sheaf,
dove, bible tablets, grapes and other scriptural emblems. These
are the workmanship of Mr. George Misch, an accomplished artist
of Chicago. The floor and platform are very suitably carpeted
and over the center aisle is suspened a brilliant 12-light
glass chandelier with innumerable miniature prismatic pendants.

lusture afforded by the sparkling glass, and the amber-colored

fied by artistic fresco work, after the latest designs, composed
of soft toned blendings of various rich tints, throwing off a
contrast most pleasing, yet chaste and in strict keeping with
the purpose of the structure, wherein the presence of the Great
Jehovah may be invoked. The seating capacity now secured will
accommodate about four hundred persons, and right heartily
pleased we are to record that the successful labors of the much
beloved pastor and members of this zealous denomination are rap-
idly increasing its actual membership, nearly half that number
already. With this brief sketch of the church and its new place
of worship, we proceed to report
The Consecration Services
At a quarter to eleven the major part of the seats were taken
and upon the dias was seated their pastor, the Rev. R. Wylie, as
also the Rev. N. S. Smith. D.D. of Delaware, and the Rev. A.S.
Carson of Westerville, the latter being visitors to participate
in the interesting services. The Rev. Wylie having opened the
meeting with prayer, the choir of the church, which is peculiarly
fortunate in its possession of naturally good voices, under the
efficient and painstaking leadership of Mr. Smith Ketchum, sup-
ported by L.S. Condit, sang that beautiful anthem, "Jerusalem, My
Happy Home," with a spirit of enthusiasm well calculated to con-
vey the beautiful sentiment of the composition to every Christian
heart; after which Rev. Smith read the lesson for the day, and
Rev. Carson offered up a prayer. An appropriate dedication
hymn was then ably rendered by the Rev. Smith, whose attentive
and deeply interested congregation had increased very largely by
this time, His subject was on the unity of Christ with God, his
pre-existence with the Father before the world, The wonderful
and bountiful condescension of God, through the gift of His Holy
Spirit in the Savior, establishing direct communication with Him-
self. The beautiful teachings afforded by the life of Christ
were most effectually set forth, and man's necessity of salvation,
with its only method to be obtained, was dwelt upon with remark-
able fevor, while he earnest implored that divine blessing might
descend and ever remain on the people of Trenton, and that those
who previously have gone home might awake to righteousness, and
those who were still found living when the last trumpet shall be
sounded may be caught up in realms of endless bliss. After the
sermon, Rev. Wylie stated that the Cost of the beautiful
building they now occupied amounted to $2888.96, of which
$2842.50 had been subscribed, leaving only the nominal sum of
$46.46 to be raised to clear the entire under taking. They would

however, require the addition of a heating apparatus in the win-
ter, which no doubt would come around in due season, and they
might congratulate themselves on a thoroughly replete and com-
fortable house of worship in which to meet their God in relig-
ious communion. As customary on such occasions, the "Old
Hundredth" was adopted to the singing of the doxology, the ven-
erable strains of which were heartily participated in by the
whole congregation.
In the Evening
the weather having cleared off beautifully, the congregation, as
was expected, numbered from four to five hundred persons from all
parts. The choir opened the service with a fine anthem. "Doxol-
ogy." After which old "Coronation" was sung by all present with
heart and voice. The same reverend gentlemen who officiated
in the morning were again present in the evening. Rev. Carson
preaching a magnificent discourse from the 65th Psalm, 4th verse,
which though exhaustive was listened to with marked attention
by his audience, and deemed by all to be a most masterly argu-
ment in support of God's Church. After an appropriate hymn, the
benediction was pronounced by Rev. Wylie and thus ended a day
long to be remembered in Trenton.
We may add that to intensify the enjoyment of the day's pro-
ceeding, it was also the eleventh anniversary for the Rev. Robert
Wylie becoming the pastor of the little flock at this place,
with whom he has labored most earnestly and sucessfully to the
glory of God. He was the recipient of many congratulations,
especially as Trenton was his first charge as a minister. His
success has been so highly flattering and it was his privilege
now to preside over one of the hansomest and most comfortable
church buildings in this section of the state, while retaining
the heartiest co-operation and prayers of his Flock.
