The ringing of the church bell on Monday evening was in celebration of a wedding which took place 40 years ago, and also signified the beginning of a surprise party to the erstwhile bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse E. Johnson. The Rev. Karl A. Nelson, minister of the Methodist Episcopal church, arranged a reception which was attended by more than 100 persons, but which was a complete surprise to the guests-of-honor. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson had been invited to spend the evening with Mr. and Mrs. John H. Morton, and complied with the suggestion that they go motoring. As the car approached the church, the bell began ringing and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were met by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Heinbeck, a recent bride and groom, and were escorted by them down the aisle to strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding march. Mrs. Johnson had been presented with a beautiful bouquet of roses and baby's breath, and she and Mr. Johnson were given seats which had been prepared for them beneath a bower of roses.
The program opened with an invocation, by the Rev. Harold G. Sabin of East Moriches, followed by an address by John H. Morton, chairman. Excellent music was contributed by Marie Louise Landers, coloratura soprano, and concert singer of Montclair, N. J., and Mrs. Anna Strussnor, pianist, of New York. Mrs. Landers selections were "The Jewel Song," from Gounod's "Faust," "The Little Shepherd Song," by Winter-Watts, "Little Bateese," by Geoffrey O'Hara and "I Love You Truly," by Carrie Jacobs-Bond. Mrs. Strassnor played Chopin with unusual skill.
Following an informal address by the Rev. Kenneth B. Grady, who was pastor here some years ago, the Rev. Karl A. Nelson presented Mr. and Mrs. Johnson with a loving cup, in appreciation of their services to the church, from members of of the church. "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" was sung by everyone, with a benediction pronounced by the Rev. E. Hoyt Palmer of the Presbyterian church.
While the wedding march from Wagner's "Lohengrin" was being played, the guests congratulated Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and filed into the Sunday-school rooms were refreshments were served and a social time enjoyed.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson thanked everyone for the spirit of fellowship and love in which the reception was given.
