Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Church in Buffalo: Half Century Discourse At a meeting of the elders of the First Presbyterian Church, in Buffalo, held in the month of December last, Mr. Thomas Farnham reminded the body that the fiftieth anniversary of the Church would occur on the second day of the succeeding February. It was the unanimous opinion of the members present; that steps should be instantly taken to secure a proper public celebration of that interesting and memorable event. A meeting of the congregation was therefore called, when the project was received with universal favor, and Messrs. Farnham, Sawyer, Butler, Miller, Glenny, Sherman and Coit were appointed a committee to make all needful preparations for the coming anniversary. This committee invited the pastor to prepare a Historical Discourse, to be read on Sabbath evening, the second of February; selected the following evening for a public re-union of members of the congregation from within the city and without; issued a circular addressed to former members residing now in other States or towns, inviting them to attend, or, if that were impossible, to communicate such facts and memories as would give interest to the approaching celebration. The pastor, who had resided less than a year in the city, and had come hither a total stranger, acceded to the request of the committee, and on the evening appointed, read to a large congregation, assembled in the First Church, the following Discourse.
