Excerpt from The Centennial of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, Washington, D. C., 1803-1903 The exact date for the Centennial celebration of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church would be May 13, 1903. The Session, in deciding upon such celebration, thought it wise to defer it until some convenient date in the autumn, to be determined by the committee Of arrangements. This committee was appointed to consist of the elders, deacons, and trustees, with power to add to their number. They decided that the celebration should begin on Sabbath, November fifteenth, and continue on the evenings of the three succeeding days. Because of the age of the church, and its historical and ecclesiastical importance, and the unusual programme announced, the occasion wakened a wide spread interest, not only in this community but through out the country, and received unusual notice from the Associated Press and from the daily and weekly papers. The church was in part quickened in preparation for the occasion by a series of Sunday evening historical studies upon Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Knox, Edwards, and Witherspoon. The church was appropriately decorated. The chan cel was beautiful with palms and ferns and owers. In the north and south arches blazed in electric lights 1803 The large middle arch was festooned with the American ag. On the south space, between the chancel and the gallery, was the Banner of the Covenant, made of blue Silk, bearing a St. Andrew's cross and the words in the four Spaces, Christ.
