Excerpt from Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the United Presbyterian Church, Wooster, Ohio: Held October 21st to 23d, 1917, Inclusive, With Letters, Addresses, Including Historical Sketch of the Past Century

This volume consists, merely, of a series of sketches of the Church of which it gives a narration, and biography of members without historic pretensions. It is rather in the nature of a memorial record of the congregation and its membership as a whole, and its one hundredth anniversary. A memorial is as old as the Exodus. When Joshua discomfited Amalak, "The Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book." The object was for rehearsal, information and preservation. This injunction has come down to us in custom through the generations since. Our history chronicles many persons, events, places and things worthy of peculiar honor and preservation. Duty leads us to perpetuate these in concrete form.

Our object has been to give some of the principal events and characteristics of the work of the Church, and of a number of its members of the century just past. A history of the Church and its members is beyond the object sought to be obtained.

Looking over the life and work of a congregation of which one has been a member and has knowledge for half a century is interesting and inspiring, but to go back a century, to its origin, and study its history from its own records, yellow with age and faded ink, and see the labors and faith of the early settlers of a new country, with its conglomeration of inhabitants of various creeds, and no creeds at all, with surrounding infidelity and wickedness, and yet stand on the solid spiritual Rock, as to-day, gives loftier inspiration and greater zeal and courage, and should urge us on to greater achievements.

Ours is a congregation with a record worth while, and we have a just pride in it, and a greater incentive to carry on its work. Rev. U. L. Mackey, in his kindly letter of congratulation to us, says: "One hundred years of such training as your congregation has had lays upon you a tremendous responsibility, and he suggests that we accept Gods gifts as our tasks."
