Special music was ren dered at both services. The historical sermon by tho .pastor was tho chief number on the morning program. From it we take the following extract; The Village Congregational church of West Stockbridge, was organized De cember 25, 1833. The celebration of the 76th anniversary anticipates that- date somewhat, for two reasons. In the first .place, tho, 25th anniversary of J the present pastorate occurs abont this 'time, aScKli' ^eeffled\'hest\ to celebrate the two events>at one time. , The organization of the Village' church does not mark the~'feoginriinga of things in the town*of West Stock- bridge. The old church at West Stock- bridge Center was organized 44 years earlier, and the church at Stockbridge of which town West Stockbridge was then a part, was organized 99 years eflfljej, . And'theTo arc ..a. gdod many churches in the vicinity that are older thalh 'the Village church'. Sheffield, is 9,8 years older. Great Barrington^Ss 90 years older. The First church of Pitts- field is (19 years older. But tho Village church is old enough to take in a largo part, of the history of the village of Wefet Stockbridge. In the early days, 70 years before the church was organized the land where stands the villagO of West Stockbridge could not have been of mnch Tajue, for we are told, that at that time one, Col.
