Reformed Dutch Organization of Bloomington to Celebrate 115th Anniversary.

The Reformed Dutch Church of Bloomington, Ulster Co., N.Y. located four miles
southwest of Kingston, will celebrate the 115th anniversary of the
organization on Sunday Sept. 15, 1912. At the morning service at 10:30 the
pastor Rev. A. A. Zabrinki at one time pastor at Greenbush, will give a short
historical address to be followed by the administration of the Lord's Supper. 

At the afternoon service, 3 o'clock, there will be addresses given by the
clerical and lay friends of the Church Miss Sarah Hardenberg will prepare a
paper, Judge Clearwater, of Kingston will speak as will Mr. Malery, from
Rhinebeck, representing that historic church; Rev. Bush of the New Paltz
French church will speak for the Huguenots, not a few of whose descendents are
in the Bloomington parish. Former pastors of the church have been invited and
are expected to speak. The young people of the Christian Endeavor will cary
out a program which they have prepared for the evening music. The Bloomington
church, parsonage and Sunday school room have been renovated and painted
throughout. The debts have been paid and on the last communion Sunday, seven
heads of families, besides two young men and one young woman, were received
into the membership; all but two on confession of faith, the church is in good
condition.
