This Day in History: 1916-06-04
The Mahwah Church Evangelistic Campaign ended with a musical farewell service. Delegations from the churches of Hillburn and Suffern joined the Mahwah congregants. There was much happy singing. Two addresses were given, one by the Rev. White on yielding of self to Christ and the other by the Rev. Dykemo on prayer. A rising vote of thanks was given to the Episcopal Rev. White for his participation and as a token of esteem (He holds weekly services at the Cragmere Association Clubhouse.) This campaign began in April and has resulted in much good both spiritually and socially for the community. Many people returned to the church or joined it. All expenses have been met by voluntary contributions and $15 was donated to the Red Cross work in war stricken Europe. (Bristow)
