Mechanicsville, Pa. - The Rev. C. John Miller of the Presbytery of Philadelphia is serving as pastor of the Mechanicsville Chapel. An adult evening Bible school during the last week of September centered on the theme of "Christ in the Old Testament." Dr. Edward J. Young of Westminster brought three messages on Isaith, and the Rev. Albert Martin of Caldwell, N. J. spoke on Psalms 22 and 2. On the following Sunday evening Mr. David Ketchen of Canada brought the message. He is a Westminster Seminary senior.

Paul Miller interview:
P: So we in fact when we got married dad dad had dad had left the chapel at that point. I can tell you why if you want to know. #0:46:21.1#

P: It was there was tension between him and Bud Haberen. #0:46:25.1#

P: And not really know the nature of it. Neither have ever talked about it which is you know the greatness of that generation. #0:46:32.5#

P: But I think the rut of it was they wanted a full time pastors, and I would say it was the elders, an example of elders working hard to kill a church because dad was doing, the church was booming with dad half time. All they needed to do was just hire another guy.. #0:46:49.6#

P: But they really killed a real work of the spirit. The next guy who came in, George Morton, but now George Morton really almost killed it.... #0:47:28.0#

P: But they they I just thought it was a dumb decision on their part. #0:47:40.8#
