Sunday, October 28, 1956 four o'clock in the afternoon THE REFORMED CHURCH OF HOBOKEN Sixth and Garden Streets Hoboken, New Jersey Rev. Adalbert Q. Wettstein, Pastor ==== ORDER OF SERVICE ORGAN PRELUDE Andante .............. L. Van Beethoven Larghetto .......... W. A. Mozart PROCESSIONAL HYMN (Congregation standing) A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing: Our Helper He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and pow'r are great. And armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. Did we in our own strength confide. Our striving would be losing; Were not the right man on our side, The man of God's own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He! Lord Sabaoth, His name, From age to age the same; And He must win the battle. That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours, Through Him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill. God's truth abideth still; His kingdom is forever. AMEN. CALL TO WORSHIP - INVOCATION - LORD'S PRAYER THE APOSTLES' CREED - Gloria Patri SOPRANO SOLO—"How Beautiful upon the Mountains" F. F.

Sibelius (Theme from "Finlandia") HYMN 1. 3. O where are kings and empires now For not like kingdoms of the world, Of old that went and came? Thy holy Church, O God! But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet. Though earthquake shocks are threat'ning A thousand years the same. her And tempests are abroad. 2. 4. We mark her goodly battlements, Unshaken as eternal hills. And her foundation strong; Immovable she stands. We hear within the solemn voice A mountain that shall fill the earth, Of her unending song. A house not made by hands. AMEN. SERMON.............................................. Rev. M. Stephen James, D. D., President, New Brunswick Theological Seminary HYMN 1. 3. O God, our Help in ages past, Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Our Hope for years to come, Bears all its sons away; Our Shelter from the stormy blast, They fly forgotten, as a dream And our eternal Home. Dies at the opening day. 2. 4. Before the hills in order stood, O God, our Help in ages past, Or earth received her frame, Our Hope for years to come, From everlasting Thou art God, Be Thou our Guard while life shall last. To endless years the same. And our eternal Home. AMEN. CHOIR—"Now the Day is Over"...............................................................J.
