Some of our history uncovered

Chris Stamper sent this link to a booklet that describes how our 25th anniversary in this building (before the merger with the old Tenth) was celebrated. Don't miss the description of how the church was decorated.

West Spruce Street Presbyterian Church, of Philadelphia, 1856-1881:
Quarter Century anniversary of the organization of the church and pastorate of Rev. Wm. P. Breed, D.D., the first and only pastor, April
3 and 4, 1881

Wouldn't it be fun to reproduce this some how... sometime?? It must have looked AMAZING!and so colorful!
There must be someone in the congregation who could follow the description and find all those plants.....
Thanks for posting this link. The old booklet was very interesting to see.
