Michigan Macomb County
Of these original members but one survives— Mr. Zelotus Stone. To-day the church numbers 260 members, and there have been on its rolls from this small beginning no less than 600 names of earnest and devoted men and women, whose influence has not only permeated this entire community and aided powerfully in molding and controlling it, but has gone out into all parts of this and even in other lands. Its active agency in multiform works of good here and hereabouts, and the reaching out of its hands in the spirit of a true Christian benevolence, even to the ends of the earth, have been known and read of all in this community, and it closes its half century of existence with a record that powerfully attests the untold and inestimable value of such organizations to the state and to the world.
The church members gathered to-day to bring the former times and things to mind, to recount the mercies of the past, and to note the good hand of their God visible in all their way. The ladies had beautifully adorned the pulpit with flowers and trailing vines, making the pleasant auditorium doubly attractive.
