1,000 Mark Anniversary Ome of the first to take up land on the subesquent site of Kitchener, Benjamin Eby was called to the minâ€" istry in 1809 and it was as a result of bis strong plea that the dirst "church" was erectedâ€"a oneâ€"room log cabin. Following the construcâ€" tion of better building in 1813, the school was transferred to the "church house", where for several years, Mr. Eby served as pastor and teacher. 1,000 people packed every corner uf First Mennonite Church, Kitchenâ€" er, Sunday, in commemoration of the 125th anniversary of its founding. ‘The impressive service was also the first in a series of revivalistic meetâ€" ings to be held this week.

From information contained in a ‘‘Berlin‘" newspaper of 1841, it was found that Bishop Benjamin Eby first conducted Sunday school in the *"Red Schoolhouse", but the organiâ€" zation did not continue down through the years. ‘The large commiodious frame buildâ€" ing which was orect% in 1834, served the everâ€"growiilg congregaâ€" tion for nearly 70 years, before it was supplemented with a white brick structure, which still stands. In 1928 a Bible school annex had to be added to serve the huge congregation. Since its inauguration 125 years ago, the denomination has changed its name no less than three times. Primarily, it was known as the ‘‘Benjamin Eby" congregation, so ramed after the founder. When Christian Eby succeeded his father as pastor in 1854, the name was changed to "Christian Eby", and it was not until 1904 when the settleâ€" ment was incorporated under the rame Berlin that its designation was again changed. ‘It became known as First Mennoâ€" mrite church, which name it will unâ€" doubtedly hold indefinitely, when the rame Berlin was changed to Kitchâ€" oner. $ lte> Despite the present size of the conâ€" gregation, Eby‘s church with encounâ€" tering divisions similar to those sufâ€" fered by other religious denominaâ€" tions.
