Review: New York Herald, 26 December 1867, 5.

“. . . The character of the decorations, the sweet renditions of the choir, the tones of the grand old organ rolling through the long aisles and lofty arches of the church, and the eloquent words of the nminister. Gave the scene an impressive character not soon to be forgotten.”
