On Its patronal feast day. the Church of St, .Michael and .All .\ngel.s. Seaford. celebrated the iwenty-ftfth anniversary ot its conseci alion. The .sermon was preached by the Rex, Canon Roy F. Duffleld and the Rev, Wm, Wiley. H. W. Siafford and Ved¬ der Van Dyck assisted in the service, .-^l the closo of the service the con¬ gregation assembled in the Parish Hall where several addresses were made and refreshments served.
The Church record.? show a very interesting history of the Church, Ii was on the 18th of August. 188H that the first service of the Kptacopal ever held in the village of Se-aford, was conducted by the Rev, FY, Hunting¬ ton. F'r, Huntington was a preae-her of real elqoiience and a priest of un¬ usual sanctity of life. In his early' years he had been a co-worker of Henry George, the great exponent of the single ta.v. He afterward be- ( ame the founder of the Order of the Holy Cross.
Very few aniong those who had ihe privilege of being present at that -ervice of evensong will ever forget it. .-Vn old shed, formerly used as a tavern, held the crowd. The souih end opened with liugo doors, reseni- tiling thei.se used on old farm barns. The shed was soon filled and the doors h(-in.E: opened thc p(-ople irath- ered about in groups on fhe grass and on chairs and beiu-he-s lent with kindly haste, by the neighbors, .-\boul seventy we-e present. They listened with intense interest to the address llic si'bject of whie-h was our Uird's e-evmmand to Peter and James anel John to lel ilown the net and the (Iraiitrh of fishes. From that dale in .-\uuriist services were held regularly e-very Sunday afiernoon through the free and generous aid of various Iiri(-sls until the September of the following year when a prie-st was ap¬ iiointed to ibe charge.
On llie fc-'A- occasions wli.-n il was
Impossible lo secure the services of a clergyman, a Bible class was con¬ ducted by Miss Henrietta Floyd- Jones. The greatness which that per¬ fectly generous spirit brought into her serviee in the small sphere of a country village is still the help and inspiration of many, .Nor will be for¬ gotten the names of other friends in .Massapequa who gave so willingly of their mea,-is and sympathy, Aniong theni are .Mr. and Mrs, G, Stanton Floyd Jone J, Mrs, Wm. Robinson, Miss Ixiiiisa Floyd Jones and Miss Saiiie Floyd Jones, now thc wife of General Uaruasdiston of the lilnglisli army.
Land was bought and funds raised and when in September. 1880 tho Rev, Wm, Wiley was appointi-d priest-iu-eharge a new building was built. The cellar was dug by the men and boys of Seaford. The bricks for the foundation were contributed through the efforts of Mr, Wiley and the mason work was also freely given. The church contains many beautifully furnishings which were given by friends as iiit-niorials. The church itself represents many offer¬ ings, some costing much self denial.
.Mr, Wiley was instrumental in or- .uanizing a elub for the young men of the town and this later beeame the Young Mcn',< Improvement Club of S.-"ford.
