Excerpt from Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Meeting House of the First Religious Society in Newburyport: October 31, 1901 On Thursday morning, October 31, 1901, the meeting house of the First Religious Society in Newburyport was in a gala dress for the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the dedication of the edifice. The pulpit was adorned with autumn leaves and on the platform below were many potted plants and flowers, with tall rich ferns, and a large audience assembled to take part in the celebration. The choir consisted of the following well known vocalists: Messrs. G. E. L. Noyes, Wallace Adams, R. G. Adams, L. S. Choate, Mrs. H. A. Gillett, Miss E. C. Adams, Miss Jessie Junkins and Mrs. Horace Noyes. Mrs. E. H. Noyes was organist. The exercises opened with an organ voluntary by Mrs. Noyes, followed by an anthem by the choir, "I Will Sing of Thy Power, O God!" - Sullivan. The 145th psalm was read responsively, Rev. Charles Summer Holton of the First Church of Newbury, leading. The Choir next sang the Elijah chorus, "He Is Watching Over Israel," - Mendelssohn. Rev. William Henry Pearson of Somerville, a native of this city, led in prayer. The choir sang Mendelssohn's "I Waited for the Lord."

Excerpt from The One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Foundation of the First Religious Society of Newburyport, Originally the Third Parish of Newbury: Celebrated October 20th, 1875 Tune by barnby. By this broad stream our fathers made their dwelling, Builded their ships, and launched them from the shore, Trusting in God when Waves were roughly swelling, They dared the sea, nor trembled at its roar. Honor we still their faith and brave endeavor; Cherish the walls their piety has reared: We sail not on the ancient lines forever, Yet trust no less in God, whom they revered. Our broader day with fresher light beholding, Changing the creed, but keeping firm the faith, Freely the ancient forms of thought remoulding, Asking what word to-day the Spirit saith, We, from the tide-worn piers our ship unmooring, Afloat, but not adrift, upon the tide, Dame Truth's rough sea; in faith our hearts assuring Safe must he bea who sails with God for guide.
