The Rev. E. R. Hardy Ordained by Mrs. Leavitt at the Church of Christ. Yesterday's services at the Church of Christ (Scientist) were of unusual interest to those who are interested in Christian Science. The occasion of this special service was the ordination of E. R. Hardy, C. S. B., to the ministry of the Gospel.
The ceremony of ordination while simple, was very impressive. Mrs. A. V. C. Leavitt, C. S. D., read the ordination service, and in behalf of the Church formally qualified Mr. Hardy for the service of his ministry.
As pastor of the church, the Rev. Mr. Hardy then proceeded to receive applicants for membership. The names of applicants from other churches in Buffalo represented the following denominations: Baptist, Lutheran, Free-Will Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Unitarian. Several were also admitted on confession of faith.
