Official souvenir program of the Twenty-fourth national encampment, Boston, Mass., Aug., 1890, of the Grand Army of the Republic; also Fourth Convention National Naval Veteran's Association, and the Eighth Annual Convention Woman's Relief Corps . day as whenerected.

The same bible and prayer book and the same silvercommunion service are now in use that were given to thechurch by George the Second in 1733; and in the spirestill hangs the chime of eight bells that rang forth its firstSunday greetings in 1744. The second claim which this church has for popularconsideration lies in the fact that in its belfry were hungthe two lanterns as signal lights for Paul Revere to starton his famous ride to warn the patriots across the riverthat the British were starting on their midnight journe\-to destrov the supplies at Concord. Within the church there are many paintings and deco-rations of a historical and highly interesting character,including among them the first monument of Washingtonever erected. Another interesting feature connecteil with this church is the fact that the firstSundav school in America was establishetl here in 181^.. THE OLD POWDER HOUSE.
