Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Calvary Presbyterian Church: Together With a Full Report of the Dedicatory Services at the New Church, Sunday Morning, May 16th, 1869, Including the Sermon by the Pastor Lord, Thou knowest the wants of all. Thou hast an ear to the prayer of every one. Thou hast a heart for the troubles and sorrows of each soul. Thou knowest who of Thy servants are detained from the house of prayer to-day, who fain would be with us. Meet them with Thy mercies to-day. Bless this congregation, this church, in all its interests, in all its members. And, Lord, we pray that Thou wilt remember the stranger turned in here to-day. Thou knowest the hearts of strangers. Thou hast a blessing for all. Help all to come to Thee with their hearts. Do Thou bless us according to our several circumstances. And all we ask and all we offer is in the name of Jesus, to whom, with the Father and the ever blessed Spirit, be praise now and ever more. Amen.
