Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memorial Discourse, 1830 1840 1880 by Rev. J. B. Dales, D.D., Pastor of Second United Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia: Delivered January 2d, 1881 And never, in our own case, atleast, has there been a year of more marked and, in many respects, more interesting and important anniversary events than the year 1880, - a year in which the 13th of January was the fortieth anni versary of the call addressed to your pastor; the 4th of June was the fortieth anniversary of his solemn ordination to the ministry, and installation by the Presbytery in this pastoral charge; the a7th of September was the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption ofa charter for an incorpora tion of the congregation; the 4th of October was the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the church by the reception of members and the election of Ruling Elders; and the 13th of December was the fortieth anni versary of the entering of the congregation at length into that dear old church edifice on Thirteenth street above Market, where, in the course of the fifteen years that fol lowed, it may be believed many were made, by the grace of God, to have their spiritual birth, while of it many were often led to say, in the fullness of their holy joy: This is none other but the House of God, and this is the gate of Heaven.
