Review: New York Herald, 16 May 1870, 3.

“…the music discoursed was of the highest order. A full choral choir rendered the selection of the morning in a manner highly complimentary to its members, as well as creditable to Professor Morgan, the accomplished organ and choirmaster of the church. The Professor presided at the large organ, and his assistant, Mr. Messiter, at that situated in the chancel. The extemporaneous offertory was performed by the former in a masterly manner, and the full, rich tones of the grand old organ filled the large edifice with the most beautiful melody. The anthems and hymn commencing with the word—

Lord, how delightful ’tis to see

A whole assembly worship Thee!

Received full justice from Mr. Messiter and the choir.”
