 In the remarks made there was not only hearty gratitude expressed to the president and members of the Association, but valuable hints and suggestions as to the best means to keep this godly place free from worldliness and vice.
+===August 9, 1879===
+Bishop McTyiere
+\\ \\
+This eminent ecclesiastic of the M.E. Church South, spent last Sabbath at Ocean Grove, having come down as the guest of the Vanderbilt family who make the Sheldon their Summer home. The Bishop was importuned to preach, and either of the gentlemen who had been announced for that duty would have cheerfully given way had he felt inclined to take their place; but finding the arrangements had all been made beforehand, he very courteously and firmly declined the honor. He delivered a short address, however, in the afternoon at the close of the Sabbath school exercises, in which he remarked that he was disappointed in this his first visit to Ocean Grove, in two respects. First he came for a little cool air, but the day being one of the most sultry and oppressive of the season, he said if that was the best we could do, he would go home. Secondly, in being invited to address the Sabbath-school, he was like the little boy who on his first visit to a large city, said he could not see the town for houses; so he could hardly see the children for the grown up people who crowded around the Auditorium. Despite this bit of railery, the Bishop was wonderfully pleased with all he saw and heard, and will probably come again.
+===February 14, 1880===
+The pledge that Dr. Stokes made to the great congregation last Summer, that larger accommodations should be provided before next season, is likely to be fulfilled. The Executive Committee approved certain plans presented by Mr. Lillagore for 30-foot wings on either side of the present Auditorium, which will comfortably seat and shelter one or two thousand more people.
+===March 13, 1880===
+Workmen are engaged around the Auditorium, preparing for the enlargement of that mammoth structure by the addition of wings extending over 30 feet on either side, which will largely increase its seating capacity.
+===April 17, 1880===
+To raise at one instant the entire roof of the great Auditorium, seems a work of some magnitude; but those screws are quietly doing it. The centre is to be raised 8 feet, and the wings on either side will extend over 30 feet. Mr. Lillagore and Secretary Evans are in charge of the work, but they have more aids and advisers than they know what to do with.
+===May 8, 1880===
+The acoustic properties of the great Auditorium, it is supposed, will be improved by the recent changes made in the form of that building.
+===May 8, 1880===
+Work on the Auditorium has progressed rapidly within a week. The side wings have been roofed and floor "dished" so that persons on the outside circles can see over the heads of those in front.
+===May 8, 1880===
+No overseer could be more faithful to a job than Bro. Leck, who having nothing special to do until croquet season, has watched the progress of the work on the Auditorium, and given his approval in every case where it was deserved. If he can suggest some way to put those posts now out of plumb into an exact perpendicular he will have our thanks.
+===May 29, 1880===
+The Auditorium is about complete. It is now a magnificent structure, and the Major says it can yet be improved by side galleries to hold another thousand people.
+===July 3, 1880===
+The enlargement of the great Auditorium on a plan conceived in the brain of the Secretary, and elaborately executed by Bro. T. W. Lillagore and our own workmen, will strike every visitor as a stupendous undertaking. For weeks past David H. Brown, Esq., the veteran Treasurer of the Association, has dropped all his personal pursuits and devoted himself to the details of seating and other arrangements.
+===July 10, 1880===
+"The sparrow hath found a house," said the Psalmist, and we noticed on Sunday that about a score of them were busy selecting eligible positions in the Auditorium. No objection, if they will only learn to keep still during preaching, and defer their personal squabbles during divine service.
+===September 4, 1880===
+We hadn't the heart to upbraid those sparrows for gathering in our great Auditorium, but they have paid no attention to our admonition to keep quiet during sermon time. It seemed on last Sabbath morning that they invited all their family connections to hear the preacher, and made their comments audibly while he proceeded in his most energetic way to expound the gospel.
+===October 16, 1880===
+The extension of the Auditorium, until it now covers nearly half an acre of ground, and is capable of seating, with camp-chairs, 4,200 persons, cost $4400. The whole edifice has cost $7200.
+===June 4, 1881===
+The approach to the Auditorium from the south has been beautified by trees, flower mounds and sodded plats. The flowers have been set out this week and Mr. C. B. Horner, proprietor of the Osborn House here, and of a nursery at Mount Holly, is now filling the vases with choice plants.
+===September 24, 1881===
+**Death of President Garfield**\\
+The communities of Ocean Grove, Asbury Park and vicinity, are invited to join in Union Memorial services as a tribute to the late [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_A._Garfield|President]], on next Sabbath morning and evening.\\
+**At the Ocean Grove Auditorium**\\
+Services will be held at 10:30 A.M. Addresses may be expected by Rev. B.C. Lippincott, Rev. George Hughes, Rev. A. Wallace, Rev. J.S. Inskip and others.\\
+**At Educational Hall**, Asbury Park, the services will be continued in the evening at 7:30 P.m. Addresses by Revs. A. Wallace, Dr. E.H. Stokes, Dr. Alday, J.S. Inskip and others. The choirs of both congregations will be present, to conduct the singing.
+===April 1, 1882===
+The Ocean Grove working brigade have been kept busily employed for some time past in laying sewers, until now a very large section of the ground may have the advantage of perfect under-drainage. The tenting area around the Auditorium has been thoroughly sewered for the accommodation of the people.
+===July 8, 1882===
+The Auditorium platform has been newly carpeted, and by the addition of a new building in the rear, embracing janitor's quarters, and preachers' room, all comfortably furnished, some needed accommodations have been supplied.
