Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Triple Semi-Centennial Anniversary of St. Mark's Church, Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn: Rev. Samuel M. Haskins, D.D., Rector, David Longworth, Sexton, 1839-1889, Commemorated October 13th to October 21st, 1889 We find here in church building and congregation no signs of de cay or deadness. The church building and all its accompaniments are in perfect order; the congregation and Sunday-school fill the Church, and all parish work is vigorously prosecuted, While the sur rounding neighborhood keeps up its character, and the population is still increasing. But the time has come when, in the life of the Rector, to insure healthful and successful continuance, all this needs the returning nourishment from every root of the growing tree. We see this need and express it in the accompanying resolutions, which we communicate to all former members and friends of St. Mark's. We also inclose the address of greeting from the former mem bers of the parish to the Rector and present congregation, and also extracts from the address of the Bishop of the Diocese, and from a letter of a gentleman whose only association is through his wife, now deceased, a long-time member of St. Mark's. These extracts of the proceedings embody the sentiments which we now think ought to be made real. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
