PROSPECTUS.
The RilCORD wi^l be published monthly
during- the year i88o. Terms. 50 cents in
advance; 75 cents after June. As it is not
expected that the subscriptions will be suf-
ficient to meet the necessary expenses of
publication, The Record is commended to
the generosity of all interested in the early
his'ory of the town. Should more money
be received than is needed for actual ex-
penses it will be placed to the credit of the
Benevolent Fund of the Session. .The
Record desires to secure anything pertain-
ing to the history of the town and county
of Morris and its early settlers — old papers,
pamphlets, sermons and lectures, books,
family histories and genealogies, printed or
in MS., or copied {carefully) from old Bibles
and records, &c., &c.; also, all marriages
during the pastorate of Dr. McDowell, from
1814 to 1825, and m.irriages of members of
the congregation by ministers not pastors
of this church. Items with reference to any
named in the various lists will be thank-
fully received and preserved for future use
We especially desire our readers to aid us in
supplying all omissions and correcting all
mistakes on our rolls.

THE RECORD.
THE OBJECT
Of The Record is such as to lead to the
belief that man)' will gladly give it their en-
couragement. It desires especially to gather
and preserve much that in fading of the
•earlj' history of the town and county, to
perfect our Church rolls, and to awaken an
interest in the important events and noble
men and women of the past. The history
of the First Church prior to the year 1800 is
largely the history of the town. The state-
ment will doubtless surprise all ih:it prwr to
the year \%oo 07>er \o,ooo names appear upon
our records. We deem it of the greatest im-
portance that these names should be put, by
means tjf the printed page, beyond all danger
Oi destruction. The Record refuses to
make any money, but il must pay expenses,
or cease publication at the end of the year,
and before it has had the time to fulfill its
mission. We therefore ask the aid of all
who appreciate the importance of our work,
and will be especially thankful to the press
for anv kind words which will make The
Record known to the thousands in our
land descended from those whose names we
hope to print.
New York. January 9, 1880.
Rev. F.ufus S. Green :
Dear Brother. — I congratulate you and
the good people of Morristown on the issue
of the first number of your church paper.
In the ancient records of the old Morristown
church, as I have had occasion during the
past Summer to ascertain, are found state-
ments of facts and registries of events of no
little interest to the old families of your
town and its immediate neighborhood.
It must be of interest to know who were
the founders of these old families ; who were
their wives— when they were married ; who
were their children — when they were born
and baptized, and whom and when they,
too, married. So, too, it is desirable to
know when they connected thenisf;lves with
the church, under whose ministrations, and
whether by prnfession of faith or by certi-
ficate froir other churches. Nor less to
kno^v when, ani at what age, and of what
disease, these forefathers and foremothers
of the hamlet died. The story of that popu-
lous cemetery in the rear of the old cliuich
is told in part in the two editions of your
Bill of Mortality, ixom 1768 to 1812, a period
of more than forty-three years. But the
book itself belongs to the past; it is rarely
to be found except in public libraries or in
the collection of the antiquarian. Your
paper will help to make its treasures the
common property of the people. And then,
what of the dead who preceded 1768, and
passed away since 1812.''
A medium of communication between the
pulpit and the pew is very desirable ; the
pastor has many things to say, many in-
quiries to make, much information to com-
municate, for which a monthly or bi-monthiy
is better adapted than the pulpit. The his-
tory of the time-hunored church overwhich
Johnes and Richards and Fislier and Mc-
Dowell and Barnes, noble and illustrious
men all, presided with so much credit to
themselves and profit to tlie people, is
worthy of a permanent record. The mate-
rials are ample; many oi them are scattered
about among the unpublished letters and
diaries of the generations gone by, and in
the unwritten traditions of ttie past. What
a thrilling episode was the repeated winter-
ing of Washington and his Generals with
their regiments in and about Morristown !
What vivid and thrilling recollections may
still be gathered up and put on record for
unborn generations, of the great revivals of
other days. The humble periodical, the
first number of which now goes forth in
promise of many more to come, may prop-
erly be made the medium of gathering these
and a thousand other precious memories of
the past to aid the historian in his work.
And the people, too. have inquiries to
make, information to gain, long-sought but
in vain, respecting their ancestry, their kin-
dred, their former neighbors. Here is a
vehicle by which they may seek to gratify
long-cherished desires.
The uses to which such an humble period-
ical may be put are too many to be enumer-
ated in the brief space allotted to this arti-
cle. Let the means for keeping it up not
be wanting; it is a good design; a blessing
is in it. With God's favor it will surely
prosper.
Yours truly,
EDWIN F. HATFIELD.

THE RECORD.
WHO CAN TELL?
1. The exact date of the settlement of
Rev. Samuel Fisher ?
2. Who can fill any of the blanks in the
list of Elders?
3. In contemporary papers the following
entries appear; Eider Caleb Munson died at
New Vernon, Feb. 23, 1815. aged 80.
Caleb Munson died at Green Village,
April 8, 1822, aged 84. 1
Which, if either, was the Elder upon our |
list .- '
4. The name of Abner Beach occurs upon
the roil of church in Farsippany, in 1773. 1
Was he our Elder Abner Beach.'
5. The "Bill of Mortality" begins its
record of burials July 3rd, 1768. During [
the remaining part of that year there were
21 burials; in 1769,27 burials: in 1770,30
burials, &c. We have recovered 55 names
of persons buried in the old cemetery pre-
vious to July 3rd, 1768. This as we see from
the above figures is but a small part of those
who before this date must have been in-
terred there. As this wjs the only cemeterj'
in the vicinity, all interments must have
been in it. We begin next month the Re-
cord of Burials. That this record may be
made as complete as possible, we request our
feaders kindly to search in their old Bibles,
amily records, &c , for deaths previous to
July 3rd, 1768. and send them (with date of
death, age or date of birth, &c..) as soon as
possible to The Record.
6. Two very important books are missing
from our safe :
ist. The first volume of Records, kept by
the Parish Clerk, previous to the year 1831.
2nd. The Trustee's Record from 1831 to
1838.
Who can find these important books and
return them to the safe.'
New York City, Aug. 14 1879. [
Rfv. and Dear Sir :
Early in the present century. .Mrs. Phebe
Scribner. with her daughters Esther, Eliza- 1
beth. and Anna Scribner, established and i
successfully conducted a young ladies board- '
ing school at Morristown. and it is to be I
presumed they were members of the church j
over which you are now settled. Mrs.'
Scribner was the widow of Captain Na-
thar-ieJ Scribner, an officer in the American ,
Revolution. They were my maternal great-
grand-parents. Whilst the family were at
Morristown, my great-uncles (sons of Mrs.
Scribner,) went West as pioneers, and
bought and laid out, what is now New
Albany, Ind.
After the sons had sufficiently subdued
tlie forest, they persuaded their mother and
sisters to relinquish the school at Morris-
town, and add their capital to the develop-
ment of the new enterprise at the West,
and in 1814, I think, the family emigrated
West.
There they established society on the same
basis as at the East, and the First Presby-
terian Church at New Albany was organized
in the first house (not a log-cabin) ever
built there, for the home of Mrs. Scribner,
and with but four members — Mrs. Scribner,
her daughter Esther Scribner, and her sons,
Joel and James Scribner, Consequently
the pioneer history of New Albany and the
church, is the history of my mother's
ancestors.- I am very desirous of getting all
the additional information I can to enrich
our family history, and of procuring any
papers, autographs, or anything that will
enable me eventually to put the earlv family
history of the Scribners in suitable form for
preservation and perpetuation. It has oc-
curred to me that there might be some aged
persons in vour church, or in Morristown,
who would remember something concerning
them. The building is still standing in
which the school was conducted, and the
records of your church and town ought to
furnish valuable dates.
I am most desirous of obtaining the auto-
graph of my great-aunt, Esther Scribner,
and I hope to learn of an old paper, letter,
or my best chance, perhaps, would be to find
in the possession of some old lady who went
to school to them, an old book with her
name, Esther Scribner, written on the fly-
leaf. Will you not have the kindness to
make such enquiries for me as your resi-
dence and acquaintance at Morristown
would give you an especial advantage in
doing. My address is at the Nnu York
Observer office. 37 Park Row.
I remain, dear sir.
Yours very truly,
MOREY H. BARTOW.

WHO CAN TELL?
In the list of the members of the church,
the names are copied as found upon the old
record. The date of death is added, when
it could be ascertained, by the Record. We
would be glad if our friends would aid in
filling out all oT these blanks. Some of the
old members moved away. Where did they
go? and when.' Who can give the date of
death of any not given in The Record.'
Among other fruitful sources of trouble
in perfecting our roll of members is the
tact that many women have been dismissed
who united with the church before marriage,
and whose maiden name therefore is the

The Record must not be held responsi-
ble for the orthography of the old docu-
ments which it may reproduce. A number
of mistakes occur in the Charter given last
month and still more in the Trustees' record
in this issue— which are, however, the exact
reproductions of the originals. In this con-
nection it should also be said that the names
in our various lists are printed as found upon
the old records.
In the Jan. Record the " N, B," of Dr.
Johnes at the head of the list of marriages
needs explanation. The residence of those
only who' lived out of town is registered.
Where no residence is given, the persons
thus unregistered were Morristown people.
•' Clark of Trustees," Samuel Roberts, it
will be observed, is not accurate in the date
he assigns to the granting of the charter.
A reference to that docunient shows that it
was granted the eighth, and not the eigh-
teenth, of Sept. 1756, in the thirtieth instead
of the twenty-ninth year of the reign of
King George the Second.
THE RECORD.
ir
Extract from a Historical Sketch of the Pres-
byterian Church of Hanover, by Rev. J.
A. Furguson, Pastor.
In the year 1718, a*successful effort was
made to erect a building for divine worship,
on the site of the present cemetery in Whip-
pany. This land was donated to the village.
The ancient deed reads as follows : " I, John
Richards, of Whippanong, in the county of
Hunterdon, Schoolmaster, for and in con-
sideration of the love and aflfection that I
have for my Christian friends and neigh-
bors in Whippationg, and for a desire to
promote the public interest, and especially
tor those who shall covenant and agree to
erect a suitable meeting house for the pub-
lic worship of God, give 3 1-2 acres of land
situate and being in the township of Whip-
panong, on that part called Fercipponong,
on the Northwestward side of VVhippanong
river; onl}^ for public use, improvement and
benefit, for a meeting-house, school-house,
burying yard and training field, and such
like uses and no other." This was probably
the starting point of the church. This old
deed is dated Sept. 2d, 1718 ; and, if the
actual organization of the church did not
take place before the death of Mr. Richards
in December, it could not have been de-
layed long after. The church building was
small and stood on the northwest corner of
the lot.
The first pastor was the Rev. Nathaniel
Hubbel from Massachusetts, and a graduate
of Yale College. The probable date of his
dismissal was about 1730 ; and the reason,
mentioned by Mr. Green in his brief sketch,
was, "some uneasiness between him and
the people." It was during Mr. Hubbel's
pastorate that the village of Whippany re-
ceived the name of Hanover, although it
continued to be " most commonly known by
the Indian name Whippanong."
In perhaps 1730, the Rev. John Nutman,
grandson of the Rev. John Prudden, pastor
of the church at Newark, was " ordained
pastor of the church in Hanover." He also
was a graduate of Yale College, and a man
of fine scholarship. His congregation ex-
tended over a wide range of country, em-
bracing "the territory now covered by
Hanover, Whippany, Chatham, Madison,
Parsippany, Morristown," and even reach-
ing beyond the limits of these congregations.
Not long after his settlement, as the meeting
house was old and dilapidated, a sharp con-
tention arose among the people of the dif-
ferent sections concerning the location of
the new building, should one be erected.
The people coming from Madison were very
desirous of having it located nearer them,
while those from Morristown were deter-
mined that, if the site were changed, it,
should be in their favor. Strange as it may
seem, it was at length determined to decide
the matter by " casting the lot," all parties
agreeing to abide by such decision. We are
told that, " with much solemnity, the appeal
was thus made to God to determine in this
way the question in dispute." When the
lot was taken, it was against the Morristown
section, and in favor of continuing on the
old site. This should have settled the diffi-
culty; but this faction, notwithstanding their
previous agreement to abide by the decision
of the lot, withdrew and, afterwards, formed
the first Presbyterian church of Morristown.
This secession left the congregation so
diminished that it could not raise the salary
of the pastor; and Mr. Nutman felt called
upon to represent the difficulty to the Synod
and to ask its aid in seeking an adjustment
between the church and the Morristown
faction. " The Synod referred the matter to
the Presbytery of East New Jersey to tra-
vail with the people of West Hanover (now
Morristown), and East Hanover, in order to
j prevail with them to agree upon conditions
of re-union, at least for a while, until they
I be better able to subsist apart. In case the
I effort failed, then the Presbytery was di-
I rected to grant Mr. Nutman a dismission
from the congregation." This, however,
was not the end of the matter. The same
! case came up again the following year in
Synod ; and, at no less than " six separate
sessions, that body considered it." .-vil this
long consideration did not result in the re-
conciliation of the Morristown people. They
refused to return to the old church ; and, in
1735, they asked the installation of John
Cleverly, a graduate of Harvard, as their
pastor. This aroused an intense opposition
on the part of the Hanover church. They
determined, if possible, to prevent the in-
stallation of Mr. Cleverly; and the reason
they urged against it was, that the Morris-
town people were not able " to support the
institutions of religion." Mr. Cleverly was
not ordained, but continued to preach for
three years or more. The difficulty was
finally settled in July, 1738.

Mr. S. C. Burnet has called our attention
to an important error on page 3 in the Jan.
Record. The date for the ordination and
installation of Rev. Albert Barnes should
be Feb. 8, 1825 instead of 1824. Our error
was due, strange as it may seem, to the man-
ual of the church prepared by Albert Barnes
himself, where the date is given as found in
The Record of January. That 1825 is the
true date appears beyond doubt from the
Sessional Records. The meetings of Ses-
sion are in chronological order through
1824; then in 1825 there are entries under
dates of Jan. 7, Jan. 2J, Jan. 24, and on Feb.
8th a record of the ordination and in-
stallation of Rev. Albert Barnes. This fin-
ishes the book. Mr. Barnes procured a new
Session Book, and the first entry in it, in his
own hand writing, is " Rev. Albert Barnes
was ordained and installed pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church and Congrega-
tion in Morris Town, by the Presbytery of
Elizabeth-Town, Feb'y 8, 1825. The Rev.
David Magie presided and gave the charge
to the minister ; the Rev. John McDowell,
D.D., preached the sermon from 2 Thes.
(Printed uiifli the approval of Session.
. j V. 12 & 13: the Rev. Wm. Barton gave the
charge to the people."
The minutes of Session continue in chro-
nological order thereafter. These facts
place beyond doubt the date as given above.
Feb. 8th, 1825, as the day of Mr. Barnes"
ordination and installation.
The wrong date, copied from Mr. B's own
manual, has found its way into quite general
acceptance.
Mr. Burnet noticed the error because he
was married by Mr. Barnes in less than a
month after the latter's ordination and
hence remembered the year perfectly, espe-
ciall)' as his was the first marriage at which
the young minister officiated. The original
entry is March 2, 1825, married, Samuel
Crane Burnet to Sarah Elizabeth Mills, both
of Morris Town, county of Morris.
The first Presbytery in the United States
was that of Philadelphia, which was formed
in 1705 or 1706. The first leaf of the Re-
cords is lost, which fact leaves it uncertain
which of the above dates is the correct one.
The Presbytery consisted at its formation
of seven ministers, viz : Francis MaKemie,
John Hampton, George Macnish, Samuel
Davis, John Wilson, Jedediah Andrews, and
Nathaniel Taylor.
THE FIRST SYNOD.
By the year 17 17, the original Presbytery
had so increased in numbers, that it was
deemed expedient to divide it into four
Presbyteries, viz : Philadelphia, New Castle.
Snow-Hill and Long Island.
These four Presbyteries were consequent-
ly erected into a Synod, dating from 1717,
and called the Synod of Philadelphia. It is
from the minutes of this body that the
extract on page iS is made. The General
Assembly was not constituted until 1789.

THE RECORD.
EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTES OF THE
SYNOD OF PHILADELPHIA.
Sept. 2oth, 1733.
The affair of Hanover coming under con-
sideration, and many papers being read to
give light to the Synod in that affair, it was
agreed that the committee bring in an over-
ture on said business at our next sederunt.
* Sept. 2 1 St, 1733.
The committee having spent much time
in reasoning on the affair of Hanover com-
mitted to them, at length agreed upon an
overture on it in the following articles, viz :
First, That the Synod look upon the prac-
tice of submitting of congregational affairs
to the decision of a lot, though accompanied
with sacred solemnity, to be unwarrantable,
inasmuch as lots ai'e only warrantably used
to decide matters that can't be otherwise
determined in a rational way ; particularly
by applying to higher judicatories.
Secondly, The Synod do think that in their
present circumstances of poverty & weak-
ness, it might be very advisable for the peo-
ple of West Hanover, at least for some time,
to join themselves with the congregations of
East Hanover and Basking Ridge, as may be
most convenient, until they, as well as the
said neighbouring congregations, be more
able to subsist of themselves separately. Yet
in the meantime, as the case now stands
with that people, if re-union between East
and West Hanover be found impracticable,
according to our above advice, the Synod
judge that the people of West Hanover be
left to their liberty to erect themselves into a
separate congregation. Withal we earnestly
obtest and beseech, that nothing be done
in that affair that may have a tendency to
hurt the interest of religion in those places,
so far as in them lies.
The above overture being read was ap-
proven by a great majority of votes.
Sept. 24th, 1733-
Mr. Nutman representing to the Synod,
the great dificulties he is failed under, as to
his continuing pastor of the congregation
of East-Hanover, by reason of the division
and discord between them and the people
of West-Hanover ; they, viz : of West-Han-
over being allowed by this Synod, to erect
themselves into a separate congregation (in
caee, as per minutes ot the Synod ) the
Synod considering the same, do earnestly
recommend it to the Presbytery of East-
New-Jersey to travail with the people (jf
West-Hanover and East-Hanover, in order
to prevail with thom to agree upon condi-
tions of re-union, at least for a while, until
they be better able to subsist apart. But if
the Presbytery's endeavors to this purpose
should not have effect, it is this Synod's
judgment, that a dismission may be granted
to Mr. Nutman from the people of East-
Hanover, by the said Presbytery, upon his
application for the same.
Sept. J9th. 1734, 10 A. M.
Ordered that the last year's minutes with
relation to Mr. Nutman and the people of
Hanover, be further considered.
4 P. M.
The affair of Mr. Nutman and Hanover
continued.

The affair of Mr. Nutman — yet continued.
4 P. M.
Mr. Nutman's affair still continued.
Sept. 23rd, 1734, 10 A. M.
Resolved, That the affair of Mr. Nutman,
from time to time continued, be first con-
considered the next sederunt.
3 P. M.
The affair of Mr. Nutman and the people
of Hanover resumed, and after reading our
last year's minutes, and Mr. Dickinson pro-
posing a difficulty concerning the obligation
of the determination by the lot mentioned
in said minutes, whether the obligation of
the said determination yet remains binding
upon said people, the Synod after much dis-
course and reasoning about that matter, at
length came to a judgment in the following
propositions :
1. That the Synod look upon the obliga-
tion of a determination of a difference by a
lot, to be sacred and binding upon the con-
science, if the matter so determined be law-
ful and practicable, and consequently to act
contrary thereunto must be a very great sin.
2. That as the foundation upon which a
lot is cast may cease, and the practicable-
aess of actis3g according to the deterraina-
THE RECORD.
'9
tion thereof may, in time, cease also,(though
for a time it may continue practicable,) in
such a case we judge that the obligation
thereof doth cease also, because it can never
be designed that such an obligation should
remain after the design thereof becomes
either impossible or hath been tully obtained.
3. Our determination last year relating
to the people of Hanover did wholly go
upon this supposition, that the affairs of
that people and their circun«tances were
so far altered, upon representations then
made to us, that we supposed the founda-
tion of said lot, and of the people's acting
upon it were ceased, which, whether it be
certainly so or not, we do not peremptorily
determine, but leave parties to judge thereof
as in conscience they can.
4. That however, as in our minutes last
S)'nod, we disapprove of the use of lots,
without necesity, yet we are afraid, upon
representation, that there hath been much
sin committed by many, if not all that peo-
ple, in their profane disregard of said lot in
Lime past, and therefore excite them to re-
tlect upon their past practices in reference
thereunto, in order to their repentance.

Re^'. Rufus S. Green:
My Dear Sir :— I have received and read
with great interest the first number of The
Record. It is worthy of the old historic
church, of which you are pastor, to preserve
the history of itself and the community in
which it has been a light so long. I con-
gratulate you on your pluck in the under-
taking, and wish you great success.
1 have spent so many pleasant hours in
this examination of what you are now taking
in hand and have paid out so many dollars
in the unremunerative but pleasant work,
that i am glad it has attractions for a
younger man.
I find the enclosed scrap which I think
you will be glad to get. It was handed me
years ago by H. A. Ford, Esq.
The Col. Ford spoken of is Col. Ford, Sr.,
the ancestor of many descendants. Hon.
Gabriel H. Ford was his grand-son, as also
a grand-son of Rev. Timothy Johnes, D.D.,
the greatly admired and beloved pastor of
the First Church from J743 to 1794.
Very truly yours,
Joseph F. Tuttle.
Extract from the Diary of the Hon. Gabriel
H, Ford, dec'd.
Thursday, 2Fst June, 1849.
A census wrs taken in the years 1771 and
1772. in the British Provinces of America
and deposited after the revolution, as public
archives, at Washington ; but their room
becoming much wanted, those of each pro-
vince were delivered to the members of Con-
gress from it, to cull what they chose, pre-
paratory to a burning of the rest ; Gen.
Mahlon Dickerson then a member from New
Jersey, selected some from the county of
Morris, and sent me yesterday a copy ver-
batim of one entry as follows : " Widow
Elizabeth Lindsley, mother of Col. Jacob Ford,
was born in the city of Axford, in old England,
came into Philadelphia when there was but
o.ie house in it — and into this Province when
she was but one year and a half old. Deceased
April 2 1st, lyy 2, aged gi years and one month ."
I always understood in the family by tradi-
tion from her (whose short stature, and
slender, bent person, I clearly recall, having
lived in the same house with her, and
with my parents in m)' grand-father's
family at her death and before it), that
her father fled from England when there
was a universal dread of returning Popery
and persecution, 3 }^ears before the death
of Charles the Second, A. D., 1682, and
two years before the accession of James
the Second in 1684. That while landing his
goods at Philadelphia he fell from a plank
into the Delaware river and was droAvned
between the ship and the shore, leaving a
family of young children in the wilderness.
That she had several children by her first
husband whose name was Ford, but none
by her second husband whose name was
Lindsley ; at whose death she was taken
into the family of her son. Col. Jacob Ford.
Sen., and treated with filial tenderness the
remaining years of her life which were
many. I am in the 85th year (since January
last) of my age, being born in 1765, and was
7 years old at her death.
[Charles II. died Feb. 6th, 1685 ; James II.
succeeeded immediately to the throne. — Ed.]

We call the attention of our readers, who
may be interested in the Tuthill and Kent
families, to the offer which The Record
through the kindness of Mr. Wm. S. Au-
chincloss, of Philadelphia, is able to make
them. xMr. A. by the aid of the old records I ttibuted to weak churches in our own State
of this church has made a gfenealoffica
A very generous donation by an unk nown
friend "for defraying the expenses of pub-
lishing the history of the church" was found
in the collection of the first Sunday of this
month. The treasurer of the church has
put it into the hands of the editor of this
paper. \Ve suppose it was intended for The
Record, in answer to our appeal for such
encouragement, and we desire heartily to
thank the donor. If this supposition be in-
correct, we shall expect to be so informed
by the giver.
We take this occasion to thank the many
who have shown an interest in our work.
In addition to the above gift about one hun-
dred more subscribers are needed to meet
expenses for the year.

Parish an estimate of the probable expenses
of our home work for the ensuing year, and
immediately after such meeting each pew-
holder and adult member of the church will I
be called on, either by a committee ap- 1
pointed by the Parish meeting or in such j

a committee of two was appointed who, in
connection with the Treasurer, were directed
to prepare a schedule of the pews of the
for the year at each annual Parish meeting.
4th. The Treasurer is required to forward
promptly all moneys which may be contrib-
uted for any specific object.
Out of the other moneys received by hun
church and an estimate of the minimum ^e is required, f^rst. to pay on the orders of
amount which each pew should yield to fro- 'he Trustees, which are to be drawn so far
duce in the aggregate the current expenses of
the church.
In cases where the sum pledged for any
pew which is owned by the church shall be
as practicable monthly, all the expenses
necessary for our home work, (which now in-
cludes the support of the Sabbath School) ;
which payments, how^ever, are in no case to

Of the balance of such moneys the Treas-
urer pays eight-twelfths to the eight Boards
of our Church, in quarterly payments, in the
ment of at least such minimum sum or for proportion recommended by the General
a removal to some other pew.
Where, in similar cases, the occupants of
pews are the owners of them, they are also
to be notified of such discrepancy and re-
quested to pay at least such minimum sum,
and if they fail to do so the matter is to be
reported to the Session.
3rd. A collection will be taken upas here-
tofore on each Sabbath. The amount col-
lected on the first Sabbath of each month,
unless otherwise directed by the donor, will
be appropriated as follows :
First Sabbath of April— Board of Sustenta-
tion.

June — Freedmen.
Assembly, and four-twelfths constitute the
contingent fund of the Session, to be paid
on their order, and used for the support of
the poor of the church and matters of a
similar kind.
5th. If during any year the current ex-
penses of our home work, should from any
cause, exceed the estimate of the Parish
meeting, the Trustees are to provide for
such excess, if possible, by special applica-
tion to the members of the congregation ;
and if such effort fails, such excess is to be
included m the estimate and paid out of
the collection of the next year. The esti-
mate FOR THIS YEAR IS $6,500.

holder or church member ought in con-
science to pay. It is fully believed that the
duty of supporting the Gospel at home
and abroad rests on each individual, not ac-
cording to the location of his pew, but in
proportion to his ability.
The voluntary system was never intended to
furnish an excuse for any one paying less
than under the old system of assessment, but
to an'aken the consciettce of all, and induce
each one, if possible, to pay more than before
and to give conscientiously as Cod may give
a bility.
[The following letter in addition to what is
said on the first page of the March Record,
will settle beyond all possible doubt the
date of the ordination and installation of
the Rev. Albert B.irnes— Ed 1
M(DRRiSTowx, Feb. Sth, 1S25.
Eleven o'clock A. M.
The Presbytery of Elizabethtown met at
the call of the Moderator, and was opened
with prayer.
Present, David Magie, Mod,, etc., etc.
The Moderator informed the Presbytery
that he had called them together for the
purpose of ordaining Mr. Albert Baines to
the work of the gospel ministry, and instal-
ling him pastor of the congregation of Mor-
ristown ; also, etc., etc., (other matters.)
On inquiry it appeared that the Presby-
ter)' had been duly called.
The Presbytery proceeded to the ordina-
tion of Mr. Albert Barnes, to the work of
the gospel ministr)-, and his installation as
pastor of the congregation of Morristown.
Dr. M'Dowell preached the sermon from
1st Thes, 5:12, 13. Mr. Magie presided,
made the ordaining prayer, and gave the
charge to the people, and Mr. Barnes was
solemnly ordained to the work of the gospel
ministry, by prayer and imposition of
hands, and installed pastor of the congre-
gation of Morristown. After which Mr.
Barnes took his seat as a member of the
Presbytery."
The above is a true extract from the
minutes of the Presbytery of Elizabethtown.
Baskingridge, N. J., March 9, 1S80.
John C. Raxkix, Stated Clerk.
(Cuntinued frnm pafff 19 )
September 24th, 1735.
The West part of Hanover having ap-
plied to the Synod tor the ordination of Mr,
Cleverly, the Synod do order it to be left to
the Presbytery of Philadelphia.
May, 29th, 173S.
Upon the affair of West Hanover, over-
tured as follows. Upon Mr. Budd's repre-
' sentation of the affair of Hanover : Over-
! tured, That, however in a former minute re-
! lating to West Hanover, we have granted,
' that solemn obligations by lot or otherwise
I may cease, when by any turn of Providence
1 what is engaged unto becomes impossible or
I impracticable, or the end thereof is other-
w'ise fully and completely answered ; yet it
' appearing doubtful to us whether this be the
case of said people in respect of the obliga-
tion laid upon them to unite or join with
the people of East Hanover, by a lot or sol-
emn engagement to submit to the judgment
, of the committee of the Presbytery of East
j Jersey, who were called to judge in that af-
i fair; the Synod does judge that the safest
] way to come to a final determination of that
! afiair is, that a committee be appointed to
meet in that place in order to make as ex-
I act inquiry as they can into the circum-
I stances of that people, whether there really
' be such a change in their case as to cause
j the above obligation to cease, and either
give their judgment of this matter, or else
represent it as it shall appear to them to the
i Synod at our next meeting, which they
shall judge most meet, and that Messrs. Gil-
bert Tennent, William Tennent, Junior, Sam-
uel Blair, David Cowell, Eleazar Wales, Jed-
ediah Andrevvs, Aaron Burr, John Cross
and Richard Treat, be a committee to meet
at Hanover the last Wednesday of July
next, upon the atl'^ir, at eleven of the
clock ante meridiem. Approved nemine con-
tradicente.
{To be Continued.)
Inquiry is made for "the name of the
' father of Miss Aruba C, Condict of Morris-
town, who was married Dec. 12, 1843, to
• Rev. D. O. Allen." Answer may be sent to.

SYNOD OF PHILADELPHIA.
May, 24th, 1739.
The committee appointed to go to Han-
over and help the people there in their
difficulties, made report to the Synod of
their compliance, and brought in the min-
utes of their proceedings, which being read
were approved and ordered to be inserted in
their minutes, and are as follows, viz.: At
a committee of the Synod met at Hanover.
July 26th, 1738, according to appointment
of Synod, ubz post preces sederunt Messrs.
Jedediah Andrews, Gilbert Tennent, Wil-
liam Tennent, Jun'r, John Cross. David
Cowell and Richard Treat. Ministers of the
Committee absent : Messrs. Samuel Blair,
Eleazer Wales and Aaron Burr ; Mr. An-
drews chosen Moderator ; Mr. Treat, Clerk ;
Mr. Gilbert Tennent opened the commit-
tee by a sermon, Ezek. xi, 19. The com-

THE RECORD.
sider the minutes of the Synod in relation
to the affairs, and after that was done the
Moderator proceeded to inquire into the
matter they were come about, and asked the
people of West Hanover ; whether their cir-
cumstances were altered for the better since
the casting of the lot, and it was answered
by some of them in the hearing and behalf
of the whole that they were much increased
as to numbers of persons in their society,
and that they were near one-half abler than
they were. Which representation was not
contradicted nor disproved by any, and
plainly appeared to the committee to be the
truth of their case. A paper was also brought
in by Mr. Kitchell and some others, in be-
half of the eastern part, as their committee,
setting forth their weakness and expressing
their desire of an union with their western
brethren, if it could be had upon reasonable
terms. Upon which, that the committee
might come to understand the real truth
with respect to said eastern people, the
Moderator proceeded to interrogate Mr.
Kitchell, and others of said eastern part
about their aflFairs and they informed the
committee that they were much stronger
than when the lot was cast, that though it
was hard with them for the present to ful-
fil their obligations to Mr. Nutman, yet they
cannot but acknowledge they are in grow-
ing circumstances, and able to support of
themselves , adding withal, that it is their
mind and the mind of this society, not to
have an union with the whole of the wes-
tern society but with a part only, and that
if the committee should judge them to unite
upon any of the former terms, covenants
and agreement, it would be the destruction
of the whole, and be prejudicial to the in-
terest of religion among them. Whereupon
the committee came unanimously to form
their judgment after the following manner,
viz.. That according as things are repre-
sented to them and as they appear, they
cannot but judge,
1. That the former obligations of said
people, by virtue of the lot formerly cast
among them, aie now impracticable.
2. That the end of the said lot will be
much better answered by their being two
separate societies, than by being united into
one as formerly was desired and proposed.
3. That therefore we judge said western
people may be a separate society by them-
selves. Furthermore, to prevent any dis-
putes or difficulties between said western
society and Basking-Ridge, it was propos-
ed and agreed to, mutually by said people,
that whosoever were desirous ot going trom
the congregation where they belonged to
the other, shall have liberty so to do, pro-
vided they pay off all their respective debts
to the society to which they have be-
longed.
The above determinations of the commit-
tee were published to the aforesaid people,
and all parties expressed their entire satis-
faction therein. Concluded with prayer.

WASHINGTON AT THE COMMUNION TA
BLE IN MORRISTOWN. NEW JERSEY.
The Rev. Dr. Cox, of Brooklyn, New
York, first gave to the public the circum-
stances attending this interesting event,
which he received from Dr. Hiilyer, who
had it from the lips of Rev. Dr. Timothy
Johnes himself; the latter being the pastor
of the church at Morristown at the time.
" While the American army under the
command of Washington, lay encamped in
the environs of Morristown, New Jersey, it
occurred that the service of the communion,
then observed semi-annually only, was to
be administered in the Presbyterian church
of that village. In a morning of the pre-
vious week, the General, after his accustom-
ed inspection of the camp, visited the house
of the Rev. Dr. Johnes, then pastor of that
church, and after the usual preliminaries,
thus accosted him : " Doctor, I understand
that the Lord's Supper is to be celebrated
with you next Sunday. I would learn if i*
accords with the canons of your church to
admit communicants of another denomina-
tion ?" The Doctor rejoined, ' most cer-
tainly ; ours is not the Presbyterian table,
General, but the Lord's Table ; and we
hence give the Lord's invitation to all his
followers, of whatever name.' The General
replied, ' I am glad of it ; that is as it ought
to be; but as I was not quite sure of the fact.I
thought I would ascertain it from yourself,
as I propose to join with you on that occa-
sion. Though a member of the Church of
England,. I have no exclusive partialities.'
The Doctor reassured him of a cordial
welcome, and the General was found seated
with the communicants the next Sabbath."!
tHaving been recently at Morristown,
we obtained additional evidence of the truth
of Dr. Cox's anecdote. The Rev. James
Richards, D.D., the present pastor of the
ist Presbyterian church, and son of the
venerable Dr. Richards who succeeded Dr.
Johnes in 1794, says that he has often heard
his father relate the circuiVistance, who had
himself heard it from Dr. Johnes. The Rev.
Albert Barnes, formerly pastor of the same
church, also says that he has never had any
doubt on the subject. We may give the
evidence in detail hereafter.
In the February number of the Presbyte-
rian Magazine we gave some historical inci-
dents connecting the memory of Washing-
ton, in a somewhat interesting manner,
with the Presbyterian church. Among the
incidents mentioned, was the fact that the
only time Washington was known to par-
take of the Lord's Supper, after the com-
mencement of his public career, was in the
Presbyterian Church, in Morristown, N. J.
Shortly after the publication of the article
referred to, we received a letter from our
friend, the Rev. Nicholas Chevalier, of
Christianburgh, Va., who stated that in a
42
THE RECORD.
visit at Dr. Johnes' at Morristown, some
years since, he was informed by that vener-
able man, who was a son of the Reii. Dr.
Johnes. that he had often heard his father
say, "that the religious services of the
Church were held, not in the meeting-house,
but in an orchard not far from the parson-
age. In order to ascertain more fully the
facts of the case, we addressed a letter to
the Rev. O. L. Kirtland, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church, at Morris-
town, who was the more competent to an-
swer the inquiries, from the circumstance
that he had himself married into the family
of the Rev, Dr. Johnes. The following is
Mr. Kirtland's reply;
Rei^. and Dear Brother :
* * * * Touching the reli-
gious services in the orchard, and the com-
munion there attended by Washington, the
information which you speak of as received
from the Rev. Mr. Chevalier was substan-
tially correct. The father of Mrs. Kirtland
was the son of the Rev. Dr. Timothy Johnes
— lived with him, and took care of him in
his old age, and till his death — remained in
the homestead of his father, and died there
in his 83d year, Nov. 1836. Mrs. Kirtland
was born in the same house, and never had
her home elsewhere till a short time since.
She recollects very distinctly that she was
accustomed to hear her father speak of the
fact that the religious services of the con-
gregation 7vere C07iducted in the orchard, in
the rear of the house, whilst Washington was
here during the Revolutionary War. This
was one of the familiar facts often repeated
during her early years. She has no doubt,
that a part of the familiar subject of the
conversation of her father with the family^
and with visitors, was, that the communion
which General Washington attended was
held in the orchard.
In the orchard there is a natural basin
several feet deep, and a few rods in diame-
ter. The basin was formerly considerably
deeper than at present, having been partly
filled in the process of tilling ever since the
Revolution. Mrs. Kirtland recollects that
her father used to say, that when the peo-
ple assembled for worship, they occupied
the bottom of that basin for their place of
meeting. The minister stood on one side
of the basin, so as to be elevated above his
congregation. The whole field inclines to-
wards the morning and mid-daj' sun. The
rising grounds in the rear would, to a great
extent, shield the congregation from the
usual winds of winter. Indeed, the basin
was formerly so deep, that the wind from
any direction, would mainly pass over them.
A brother of Mrs. Kirtland, several years
older than herself, and other members of
the family, tell me that their recollections are
distinct, and in harmony with hers, touch-
ing the meetings in the orchard, the com-
munion, and the presence of Washington
there.
John B. Johnes, M. D., now living in this
place, and over sixty years of age, grandson
of the old minister, and cousin of Mrs. Kirt-
land, recollects it as the fa:::iliar talk of his
father, and also of his uncle, Mrs. Kirtland's
father, that the religious services, whilst
Washington was here, were in that orchard.
Mrs. Scofield, wife of one of our lawyers,
and grand-daughter of a Mrs. Ford, whose
name has been handed down to us fragrant
with piety, informs me that hergrandmother
used to tell her about attending the meet-
ings in the orchard. On one occasion,
when the old lady was present, Washington
was there sitting in his catnp chair, brought
in for the occasion. Dtiring the service, a
woman came into the congregation with a
child in her arms ; Washington arose from
his chair and gave it to the woman with the
child.
I think a large amount of similar testi-
mony may be obtained, making the proof
of the meetings in the orchard, of the com-
munion, and of the attendance of Washing-
ton there, about as strong as tradition could
make it.
You wished to know w/^7 they should and
how they could meet in the open air in the
winter. Tradition says that there was a
vast amount of sickness and suffering in
the army, that the small-pox prevailed fear-
fully, and that the Presbyteriaii and Baptist
churches, and court-house were occupied as
hospitals — the father of Mrs. Kirtland hav-
ing, the latter part of the time, the supervi-
sion of the hospitals — so that there was no
place for the meeting of the congregation,
except in the open air.
THE RECORD.
43
We should not forget that the soldiers of
the Revolution, and the good people who
lived here at that time, were more hardy
than this generation. Trembling, as they
were, all winter, with the fear of an attack
from the British, their house of worship oc-
cupied with poor, sick, dying and dead men,
(for tradition says that numbers of dead men
would be found under the seats in the morn-
ing z. e. before the arrangements for their
care had been perfected by my wife's father)
it is by no means incredible that the pious
souls of such a race should meet in such a
basin as Providence had made lor them, to
pay their homage to the Most High, and to
commemorate the love of the Redeemer,
even in winter. We forget the character of
the people, and of the times, if we suppose
that there were not those who would think
very little of the. cold, if they could, in such
circumstances, enjoy a season of religious
worship, even in the open air. Those now
living here, who have heard their fathers
and grandfathers describe, as eye-witnesses
of, and partners in, the sufferings of the
times, would think that a season of worship
in such circumstances, must have been
sought as a relief from sufferings, to which
many of them were constantly subject.
You will excuse me for departing from
the subject of your inquiries to state a fact.
Soon after I came to Morristown, in 1837,
I think, I visited my native place, and met
there an old man, bowed down with age,
leaning tremblingly upon the top of his
staff. His name was Cook. In my early
childhood, he had been the physician in my
father's family. As the old man met me, he
said, " You are located in Morristown, are
you?" "Yes sir." " I was there too," said
the Doctor, " once ; I was under Washing-
ton in the Army of the Revolution. It was
hard times then — hard times. There was a
time when all our rations were but a single
gill of ivheat a day. Washington used to
come round and look into our tents, and he
looked so kind, and he said so tenderly,
' Men, can you bear it T ' Yes, General, yes,
we can,' was the repl)' ; ' If you wish us to
ac/, give us the word, and we are ready.' "
This single fact has done more to reveal
to me the secret of that pc^wer, by which
Washington maintained such influence over
the army, and kept them together through
such severe and protracted sufferings, than
anything else that I have known. " He
came to our tents, and looked so kind," &c.
I fancy that he felt the influence of those
meetings in the orchard, when he went to
s^nnpathize with his men — perhaps had
lately been at the communion tabic, when
he made such an impression upon the old
Doctor of my native place.
Your inquiries have pushed me out on a
train of inquiry, for which I am much
obliged to you. I don't know but the re-
sults will render mc as loquacious about
matters appertaining to the Revolution, as
ihe old soldiers to whom I listened in my
boyhood.
Very respectfully yours,
O. L. KiRTLAND.
DATES IN OUR EARLY CHURCH HISTORY
WORTH REMEMBERING.
Sept. 21, 1733. — Permission granted by the
Synod of Philadelphia " to erect themselves
into a separate congregation." The sepa-
ration from the church in Hanover had al-
ready taken place. The appeal had been to
the "lot," and although the lot had fallen
out against the people of West Hanover
(Morristown), they would not abide by it,
and so withdrew to form a separate church.
Sept. 24, 1735. — Application made to the
Synod for the ministerial services of Mr.
John Cleverly, who however was never in-
stalled. He ministered to the church for
a time but no record of his labors was left.
May 29, 1738. — The trouble with the
mother church at Hanover finally settled by
a commission of Synod.
Aug. 13, 1742. — Rev. Timothy Johnes be-
gan work.
Feb. 9, 1743. — He was installed.
Sept. 17, 1794. — He died, his pastorate
covering a period of 52 years.
Special attention is called to extracts from
the Trustees' Book in this number of the
Record and in that for May. They will be
found to contain valuable historical data re-
lating to the presence of the Revolutionary
army in Morristown,

GLANCES AT THE PAST.-NO. XIII.
Whipanny, New Jersey, was formed into
a township in 1700, and included Hanover.
It was settled about 1685 from East Hamp-
ton, Long Island, and from old England and
New England. Forges were established at
an early period, and among the active set-
tlers were the Tuttles from England, near
Tweed, Joseph and Abraham Kitchel and
Francis Lindsly, also from England. The
congregation originally included Morris-
town, Madison, Parsippany, Hanover and
Chatham. Three acres and a half were
given by John Richards, a schoolmaster, on
which, in 1718, a meeting house was built,
and which is now used for a grave yard.
The first minister was the Rev. Nathaniel
Hubbel, who graduated at Yale in 1723, and
was settled as pastor of Hanover and West-
field in 1727. He retained the pastoral
charge of Westfield till 1746. when he was
succeeded by the Rev. .Nathaniel Tucker, a
native of Milton, Massachusetts, and agradu-
ate of Harvard University. He was ordain-
ed by New York Presbytery April 9, 1747,
and died in December, 1748. He was suc-
ceeded by the Rev. John Grant, who died in
'759-
In 1730, the Rev. John Nutman settled at
Hanover. He graduated at Yale in 1727,
and he appeared in Synod in 1733, to seek
relief, his congregation having divided into
East and West Hanover. West Hanover
desired to stand by itself, and a resort had
been had to the casting of lots to decide
their action. The Synod heard all the
papers in the case, and resolved that West
Hanover ought to unite, at least for a time,
either with Baskingridge or East Hanover ;
they also disapproved of the casting of lots.
Mr. Nutman represented that he could not
remain, if the breach were not healed, and
the Synod therefore exhorted the Presby-
ter}^ of East Jersej'^ to travail with the two
parties to effect a reconciliation. They had
leave to dismiss Mr. Nutman if there were
no other way of bringing them together.
The next year President Dickinson brought
up the affair again, inquiring whether they,
having est the lot, and so appealed to God
for a decision, were not bound to abide by
the issue pt the lot. By the lot, it was
decided they should remain united, and the
Synod blamed them for their profane dis-
regard of the ordering of the Lord in the
fall of the lot; and declared that they were
bound to abide by the lot, however presump-
tuous they had been in using it. All mea-
sures were unavailing ; united they would
not be, and Mr. Nutmac remained pjstor of
East Hanover until 1745.
In September, 1735, West Hanover ap-
plied to the Synod to ordain Mr. Cleverly,
and the Synod referred the business to the
Presbytery of Philadelphia. In May, 1736,
50
THE RECORD.
the people pressed the Presbytery to pro-
ceed, and they were directed to appoint a
day. and give the Presbytery notice that
they might, on the spot, attend properly to
the business. In August, 1737, the congre-
gation were excused for having made no
appointment, and the Presbytery resolved
to set out the next day for West Hanover.
On their journey, the brethren stopped at
Captain Hart's, in Hopewell, New Jersey,
and took on trials as a candidate "a young
man, John Guild, who had offered in April."
At West Hanover, objections were made to
Mr. Cleverly, but the Presbj'tery did not
judge him unfit for the ministry ; neverthe-
less, they would not ordain him in opposi-
tion to a part of the people, and they gave
him leave to go and seek some other field of
labour. They then wrote to the rector ol
Yale College to send on a minister, giving
as a reason, that "they knew no other way
to supply them."
In May, 1738, the Synod finding the diffi-
culties still existing, appointed a large com-
mittee to meet and make a final adjustment.
On the 26th of July, Andrews of Philadel-
phia, Gilbert Tennent of New Btunswick,
William Tennent, of Freehold, John Cross,
of Baskingridge, Cowell of Trenton, and
Treat of Abington, met, and Gilbert Tennent
preached from Ezek. xi. 19, '* I will give them
one heart." The result was, that Hanover
and Mr. Nutman acknowledged they did
not need the help of West Hanover in main-
taining the gospel, and the two congrega-
tions expressed their entire satisfaction in
the judgment of the committee that no fur-
ther attempts should be made to merge
them in one.
The Rev. Jacob Green was born at Mai-
den, Massachusetts, January 22, 1722, and
was educated at Harvard University. He
was converted under the ministry of Gilbert
Tennent, during his journey through New
England ; he came with Whitefield to New
Jersey, and studied divinity with President
Dickinson. He was installed by the Pres-
bytery of New York, pastor of Hanover in
November, 1746. In 1755, the old meeting
house was deserted, and one built at Han-
over Neck, and one at Parsippany. In 1757,
Mr. Green gave up the charge of Parsip-
pany. Previously, in 1748, a portion of the
congregation separated and formed the
church of South Hanover ; they dropped
that name for Bottle Hill, and now the
name is Madison. Mr. Green was elected
Vice-President of New Jersey College in
1758. and for a season was at the head of
that Institution. He was also a member of
the Provincial Congress during the trying
times of the revolution, and is said to have
prepared an able series of papers on
the currency. Toward the close of his
life, he with several other ministers of New
York Presbytery, withdrew and formed
Morris County Presbytery — one reason for
this was their unwillingness to refuse ad-
mission to the ministry to those who had
not enjoyed a liberal education.
There were three revivals at Hanover un-
der his ministry ; there was a remarkable
one in 1790, in the midst of which he died
on the 24th of May. This was so noiseless
that the neighboring ministers did not know
of it till they came to his funeral, and so
powerful that after his death, thirty persons
the gleaning of the harvest, came to his son
to seek spiritual direction and to lament that
they had not turned at their pastor's reproof
while he was yet with them. His death was
so sudden, that his son, then settled over the
Second Presbyterian church, Philadelphia,
did not receive the tidings in time to attend
the funeral. When preaching, after this
mournful bereavement. Dr. Green addressed
the younger members of the congregation,
the men of his own age, most unexpectedly
to him they rose in their seats and stood up
to receive the word of life.
Mr. Green married the daughter of the
Rev. John Pierson, of Woodbridge, New
Jersey. He was an active, devout man, and
did much to enstamp on the community a
high moral and religious character. His
venerable son has occupied a distinguished
place in the history of our church for nearly
sixty years, and one of his grandsons is the
respected and useful pastor at Bedford, New
York.
The West Hanover congregation is now
Morristown. The first pastor was the Rev.
Timothy Johnes, who graduated at Yale in
1737, and commenced his labors at Morris-
town in August, 1742. He was ordained by
the Presbytery of New York, February 9,
1743, and he died September 15, 1794. He
was born May 24. 1717, but in what countr)'
THE RECORD.

does not appear.* Few men laboured more
zealously or more successtull}' than Dr.
Johnes. He was asked by Gen. Washington
on the approach of a sacramental season, if
the rules of the Presbyterian Church ad-
mitted of such a thing as receiving to the
Lord's table a pious person of the Episcopal
persuasion. The General assigned as a rea-
son for the inquiry, his desire to partake of
the ordinance with Dr. Johnes's congrega-
tion. He was assured that the word of
God was the rule of the Presbyterian
church, and that therefore every pious per-
son was heartily invited and welcomed to
join in obedience to the Saviour's command.
The aimy then lay in the neighborhood;
disease, want and death prevailed in the
camp, and there was a recklessness about
the soldiery that was truly horrible. Wash-
ington turned from these things, so mourn-
ful and discouraging, and sought comfort
under his responsibilities and anxieties at
the foot ol the cross.
The South Hanover congregation had for
their first pastor the Rev. Azariah Horton,
a native of New England, but whose parents
removed in his childhood to New Jersey.
He graduated at Yale in 1735, and on being
licensed, received a call to a promising par-
ish in Long Island. Dickinson, Burr and
Pemberton had been appointed by the
Scottish Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel, to select missionaries, and to direct
their labors among the heathen. They se-
lected Mr. Horton, and prevailed on him to
relinquish the call, and devote himself to
the Indians on the east of Long Island.
He was ordained by New York Presby-
tery in 1740 or '41, and his labours at the
outset were greatly blessed, and he soon
baptized thirty-five Indians. He had little
or no success during the remainder of his
stay, being sadly annoyed by the Separates.
He abandoned the mission in 1752, but the
fruits of his labours remain to this day in two
Indian churches, one at Poosepatuck, three
miles south-west of Moriches, and a larger
one at Shinnecock, two miles west of South-
ampton. These churches are independent
in their organization, and had, until 1812, a
succession of Indian pastors in the Rev.
Samson Occum, a Mohegan, Peter, John
[*Born at Southampton, L. I.— Ed. RKCOnn.]
and Paul-Cuffee, of the Shinnecock tribe,
Mr. Horton was the pastor of South
Hanover from 1752 till his death, March 27,
1777, at the age of 62.
South Hanover was supplied till the close
of the war by the Rev. Aaron Richards.who
had been obliged to remove, on account of
the nearness of the British army, from his
charge at Rahway. The Rev. Ebenezer
Bradford graduated at Nassau Hall in 1773,
and was licensed by New York Presbytery in
1775. A request was made to the Synod by
his Presbytery in 1775, ^^^ leave to ordain
him as an evangelist, and the Synod left the
matter to the discretion of the Presbytery.
He was ordaijied before 1777. probably as
pastor of South Hanover. He was set-
tled there in 1781, when he withdrew with
his father-in-law, the Rev. Jacob Grear,t and
Messrs. Tuttle and Grover, and formed Mor-
ris County Presbytery. He left New Jersey
before 1784. and settled at Rowley, Massa-
chusetts, where he died. Two of his sons
entered the ministry, the Rev. Dr. John M.
Bradford, of Albany, and the Rev. James
Bradford, of Sheffield, Massachusetts. The
late Judge Ebenezer G. Bradford, of York
and Lancaster, was also his son.
The Rev. Alexander Miller was his suc-
cessor at South Hanover. He graduated at
Nassau Hall in 1764, was licensed by New
York Presbytery in 1768, and was ordained in
1 77 1. He was directed to spend six or eight
Sabbaths among the settlements on the
Hudson, and we find him applying for aid for
the church in Schenectady, and the Synod
directed him to supply every fifth Sabbath
among the vacancies around that city. Tra-
dition reports him to have been a frequent
supply at Albany, and to have made himself
sadly unpopular by stopping the clerk in
the midst of the psalm, with an intimation
that a little of such singing was enough ; the
said veritable authority avouching that there
was abundance of reason from the style of
the singing to justify Mr. Miller in his opin-
ion of it. He was installed pastor of South
Hanover in 1784, and in 1794 was principal
of Hackensack Academy. He presided at
the opening of Albany Presbytery in 1802,
when the Presbyteries of Columbia and
Oneida had been set off. and he appears to
have resided without charge in Columbia
Presbytery from 1809 to 1819. K. H.

tended church during his Presidency, with
Mrs. Washington, who was regularly a com-
municant. From which remark it is fairly
inferred that Washington himself was not.
Perhaps other testimony may be adduced
to throw more light on the subject. It
seems probable that in early life the Father
of his Country was a communicant, but that
in later years he neglected his duty and
privilege in this respect.

WASHINGTON'S COMMUNION
It is well known that Geu. Washingti^n
professed the Christian religion, and it is in
evidence that he was a praying man, habitu-
ally kneeling in secret prayer, and some-
times with the Bible open betore him while
he was on his knees.
It is also in evidence that while the army
was at Morristown, he requested of the
pastor of the Presbyterian church, Dr.
Johnes, the privilege of partaking of the
Lord's Supper with the chuich at its regular
communion. His request was cheerfully
granted by Dr. Johnes, who said to the
General : " We give the Lord's invitation
to all his followers of whatever name."
A lady, an adopted daughter of Washing-
ton, and his wife's granddaughter, having
lived in his family for twenty years, slates
in a letter to Mr. Sparks, that on communion
Sundays the General was in the. habit of
leaving the church with her, before the
communion, and the carriage was sent buck
for Mrs. Washington, who remained to com-
mune.
Bishop White states in a letter to Rev.
Mr. Parker that Washington habitually at-
Sextons of the First Church.
There are probably few, if any, churches
in the land in which the sextons have
served longer or more faithfully than in our
own church. The names of those who filled
that office previous to the year 1784 are un-
known. Under date of Nov. 23, 1784, men-
tion is made in the Trustees' Book of Nathan
Howell, but in such a way as to lead to the
inference that he was already filling the
position.
The list is as follows ;
Nathan Howell, 1784 to June 21, 1790.

The " Bill of Mortality " begins in this
number its mournful record of that terrible
year, 1777. Gen. Washington's army en-
camped here in January of that year. Small-
pox soon made its appearance with fatal
effects. Sixty-eight were swept away by it
in the parish alone, not counting those who
died in the army. Good pastor Johnes at-
tended in that one year over 200 funerals,
more than half of which resulted from
malignant diseases.

THE RECORD.
Newark, N. J., Box 202,
June 28, 1880.
In the Record of ]u\y, 1880. is the fol-
lowing in relation to an article in the Pres'n
of C)ct. 3, 1846 : " No one now in the office
of the Presn is able to say who K. H., the
author, is." He was the Rev. Richard
Webster, then, and till his death, the pastor
of tlie Pres'n church of Mauch Chunk, Pa,
the finals of which, inverted, he used for his
siif nature. Wm. P. Vail.
Orange, N. J., July 3, 1880.
Rt^i'd. Rufus S. Green :
Mv Dear Sir: lam greatly obliged to
you for the Record. I have been prompted
by the last No. to send you some notes
upon its historical glances,
• Are there any memorials of Doct. Tuthill
who is named as a Trustee of the Morris-
town church, or any in Morris to whom
you can refer me for information con-
cerning him ? I had no knowledge of such
a man till I read the minutes of Trustees in
your publication, You are doing a worthy
thing in getting your early records in print-
ed form. We ought to do it in Orange.
Very truly, Stephen Wickes.
NOTES ON "GLANCES AT THE PAST,"
In the Record, Vol. i. No, 7.,
BY DR. wickes.
The Xuttles, Kitchels and Lindsleys came
from Eng., first to the N. Haven & Conn,
colony and migrated thence to N, Jersey.
Joseph Tuttle was in Newark befoie 1738,
removed to Hanover, d. 1789. a. 91. His
will names Joseph, John, David and g. son
Sam'l, son of Joseph (Conger's genealogies.)
Timothy Tuttle was of Hanover, 1755.
Will names Dan'l, Thomas, Isaac, Stephen,
Abraham, Mary, Joanna,. Ibid, Timothy,
Joseph & Stephen Tuttle, " all of Newark,"
gave rec't to Exec'rs Apr. 9, 1725, for legacy
from their "honored lather, Stephen Tuttle,
of VVoodbridge."
Robert Kitchel left Eng, in the first ship
that ever anchored in New Haven bay. He
& his son Samuel were two of the 41 asso-
ciates from Milford who signed the " Funda-
mental agreement" in 1667, which docu-
ment the 23 associates from Branford had
signed the year previous. Tliey each rec'd
their home lots in the town of Newark.
Samuel (by his second wife, Grace Pierson,
sister of'Abraham), had Abraham, who, in
1 714, sold land in Newark, deed signed also
by his wife Sarah. He was in Hanover in
1722. Was a deacon in the church there
when he died, 1741, a. 62. Wife d. 1745 ;
both buried in Whippany, (Conger, Stearns,
et aliis.)
Francis Linle, (Lindly, Lindsly,) an asso-
ciate in Newark, from Milford 1667, was a
son of John of Guilford Conn. 1650, At Bran-
ford had Deborah in 1656. & Ruth, 1658,
also sons John, Ebenezer, Beiij., Jos., &
Jonathan. (Conger.)
In 1699 gave lands to son John, 1703-4 to
Benj,, Joseph, Jonathan & Ebenezer, In
the deeds he is " of Newark in the Prov. of
East Jersey, "and his sons therein described
as of the same place. John in 171 1-12
signed an agreement with John Baldwin,
both " of Newark," Mar. 1726-7. John
Lindsley "of Hanover in the County of
Hunterdon," «&;c., " carpenter," conveyed to
Sam'l & John Harrison " of Newark," lands
therein.
Joseph migrated to Whippany, was bur'd
there in 1753.
Jonathan was in Hanover in 1726.
Benj. & Ebenezer were of Orange and
owned .ands given by their father in 1704.
Were bur'd here and their descendants are
here.
The forge in Whippany was built " about
1710," (Pres. Tuttle.) As Francis had a child
1656, he must have been at least 69 when
he gave lands in 1704 and 75 when the forge
was started.
There was no other Fran/:is than this
one. As John removed to Hanover alter
1712 and his brothers then or subsequently,
he is probably the Lindsley named in the
" Glances " of K, H.
Rev. Jno. Nutman was eldest son of
J:imes, Esq., from Edinburgh by 2nd wife
Sarah, dau. of Rev'd John Prudden. James
d. Mar, 8, 1739, a. 'j'j (Conger.)
Rev'd Jno, had a dau. Hannah, 2d wife of
Jonathan Sergeant of Newark, who had
Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant, the father of
Hons. John, Thomas and Elihu Spencer
Sergeant and Sarah, wife of Sam'l Miller,
D.I), (Hatfield's Elizabeth p. 353.J Hat-
field in his History furnishes rotices of
Rev'd Nath'l Hubbel nnd Rev.Jno, Cleverly.
In History of Long Island by N. S.
Prime (Robt. Carter, 1845,) p. 104, s, 99, Will
be found a very full record of Rev'd Azariah
Horton prior to his migration to S. Han-
over as 1st pastor when he served 25 years

We are indebted to Hon. Edmund D. Hal-

third page of this number of the Riccord,

the State Legislature. The list will be con-

THE RECORD
Will be printed and published monthly at

num in advance; 75 cents after June.

book-stores of Messrs. Runyon and Emmell,

EDITOR OF THE RECORD,
Lock box 44. Morristown, N. J.
Entered at the Post Office at Morristown,
N. J., as second class matter.
We again solicit the aid of our friends in
correcting any mistakes or supplying any
omissions in either ot our lists, especiall}^
in the list of members which begins in the
present number of the Record. Few can
appreciate the amount of labor necessary to
make this roll complete. First, the Ses-
sional Books were read from the beginning
of our church-history, and the names of
members admitted to church-fellowship
copied chronologically. Then for conve-
nience of reference an alphabetical roll was
needed. After this the Sessional Books
were again read, and dismissions &c. noted.
Then followed the great task of gathering
some 3,000 names of persons deceased,
not including those in "the Bill of Mortal-
ity." From these it was necessary to cull
the names of the members of the church,
that the dates of iheir death might be enter-
ed opposite their names in the membership-
roll. Then followed the same work with the
books of Evergreen Cemetery. It would be
impossible to give one unfamiliar with
this kind of work any adequate idea of the
hundred sources of confusion which have
furnished constant perplexity in the prose-
cution of this labor. We have done the
best we could. It would be too much to
expect that ndlnistakes have been made. It
has also been impossible to fill all the
blanks. For the rest we must rely upon
our friends. Bring out the old Bibles, the
old diaries, the old family-trees, and give to
The Record in this good work of saving
local history all the aid possible. If you
have not time and patience to read them^
hand them over to us. We will be responsi-
ble for their safe return.
Under Dr. Johnes's pastorate there were
three lists of members.
ist. Of those whom he found in full,
communion when he came here in 1742, to-
gether with those who came afterwards from
other churches.
This list is found on pages 12, 20 and 28.
2nd. Of the Half- Way Members, pages 28,
36, 44, 52 and 60.
Many of these half-way members became
at a later date full members ; and hence
their names will appear again in the list
which follows.
3rd. Of those who united with the church
by the profession of their faith, "this list be-
begins on page 68 of the present issue.

THE RECORD.
THE COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY.
Or, as it is more popularly known, Prince-
ton College, was chartered in 1746 by John
Hamilton, acting governor of the colony.
Rev. Jonathan Dickinson, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Elizabethtown. was
its first President. At his death, Oct. 7.
1747. the students were removed from Eliza-
bethtown to Newark, and placed under the
care of Rev. Aaron Burr, who was chosen to
succeed Mr. Dickinson as Pra*ident. In 1757
the institution, then numbering about sev-
enty students, was removed to Princeton.
Gov. Belcher made at this time a "gener-
ous donation of his library of books, with
other valuable ornaments" to the College.
Grateful for his liberality the trustees desired
to name their first building, erected in 1757,
in his honor. This honor was declined by
the Governor; but the suggestion was ad-
ded that it be called Nassau Hall, " to ex-
press the honor we retain in this remote part
of the globe, to the immortal memory of the
glorious King Wtllta7n the third, who was a
branch of the illustrious House of Nassau ;
and who. under God, was the great deliverer
of the British natzoti from those two mon-
strous furies, Popery atid Slavery," &c. In
accordance with this suggestion the Trus-
tees resolved " that in all time to come," the
building should be called Nassau Hall.
Princeton has received many munificent
gifts. We doubt, however, if any have been
more timely and helpful than the following
which we copy from the last page of our ear-
liest Records, and which shows the deep in-
terest of the early inhabitants of this com-
munity in the cause of education.
SUBSCRIPTION FOR PRINCETON COLLEGE.
Morristown, Jan. 5th, 1769, the Trustees
of the College of New-jersey having repre-
sented to the Presbyteries, that the interest
of their capital was inadequate to the an-
nual necessary expences of the College,
The Presbyteries considering the necessity
and importance of the object, are uniting
their indeavours to increase said capital.
And our Presbytery, viz., of New-york, the
i8tV» of October agreed to open a subscrip-
tion to exert ourselves on that head, which
motion the members of ourCh. Session not-
withstanding the publick expence now ly-
ing on them, do, both encourage it them-
selves, and recommend it to others — The
subscription is as followeth — We whose
names are under written do promise to pay
or cause to be paid to the Treasurer of the
College and to the use and benefit of the
College the several sums affixed to our
names Proc, &c.

SERMON BY REV. TIMO. JOHNES, D.D.
PREACHED AUG. 2/, 1775.
Joshua 7:18— And he brought his house-
hold man by man ; and Achan ye son of
Carmi, ye son Zabdi, ye son of Zerah of )'e
tribe of Judah. was taken.
Doc. yt secret sins make way for open
and awful punishments.
1. Show wt is meant by secret sins.
2. Whence men seek secrecy for yr sins.
3. Ye great absurdity of so doing.
4. Prove ye doc.
I. Not only such sins as men especiallv
conceal, but such as ny wld not commit if ny
could not flatur ym selves ny sld conceal-^
ye hope and prospect of secresy is ye great
temptation to it, together wth wicked pro-
pensities of ye heart such as secret neglect
of duty in ye closet — of publick worship —
or living in infidelity and not having God in
all yr thoughts ; and yet wld not be content
wthout some form or appearance of religion
—a man wld not live wthout Family Prayer,
under a visi-profession if his conduct ws
open before all — such, also, as theft and
lying — as Annanias — such, also as family
quarrels and contentions in ye house —
such, also, as fornication and adultery—
ye eye of ye adulterer waits for twilight,
saying, no eye sll see me and ye morn
ing is to ym as ye shadow of death — if
one know ym ny are in ye terror of ye
shadow of death — Job 24, 15:17. So all soul
Idolatry could not be practiced if known,
74
THE RECORD.
it is an affront to suspect ym of it —
Ezekiel 8:12. Son of man hast yos seen wt
ye antients of ye house of Israel do in ye
dark ev man in ye house of his imagery for
ny say. ye Lord seeth us not — so ny set up
Idols in yr heart— such, also, as flying from
duty — as Jonah.
2. When men seek secrecy f yr sins be-
cause ny are Atheists, and I don't believe yr
are any greater Atheists in ye world yn ys yt
habitually practice secret sins, if I had beheld
ye sun or moon etc., I sld have denied ye
God yt is above — Job 31, 26:28. And ny say
how doth God know — Psa. 73:11 and 139,9:10
If I take ye wings of ye morning —
ye fear of man.
From ye odious nature of sin it cannot
bear ye light — every one yt doeth evil — J no.
3:20 — especially some sins such as theft and
lying — all kinds of uncleanliness — indeed
such is ye vile nature of sin yt men must be
amazingly hard and impious yt do not in
some way cover its maligniry and palliate it
— Adam's fig-leaf.
3. Ye great absurdity of secrecy in sin.
1. God created all — nothing can be hid —
sllye thing framed say of him yt made it, he
hath no understanding — Isa. 29:16.
2. Upholds all.
3. Governs all — He rules by his power —
for ever, his eyes behold ye nations, let not
ye rebellious exalt ymselves — Psa. 66:7.
4. He has his scouts and witnesses alway
at hand — conscience, I mean — and if our
heart condemn, &c,
5. God knows our thoughts yt are more
secret yn actions — Psa. 139:2. Yos under-
standest my thoughts afar off.
6. God has discovered his knowledge of
ye most secret actions — Achan — David's
adultery — " yos didst it secretly, but, I wll
do it before all Israel and before ye sun " —
So Daniel calls him the revealer of secrets
—2:28.
7. He is to be the final Judge of all na-
tions, ytfore must be acquainted wth all se-
crets— so he wll Judge the secrets of men by
Jesus Christ, and bring every secret thing
into judgement — Ecc. 12:14.
4. Prove ye doc. yt secret sins make way
for open and awful judgements —
I. Because secret sins pave ye way to
apostasy — sins do not rise to greatest
height at once, especially under a good
education or faithful ministr\' — like the
cloud Elijah saw.
2. God has threatened it and his word sll
not fall to ye ground — and be sure yt sin wll
find you out — Num. 32:23 — ah adequate pun-
ishment.
3. From ye nature ot sin — ye designs of
Satan — sin is but ye fuel for a dreadful flame
like fire under ground yt anon bursts forth
wth terrible noise and destruction.
4. From example — strongest of evidence
— so Achan discovered to all Israel and de-
struction to himself— wy did he not fly the
lot? Joseph's br. : Gehazi secretly told a
lie ws openly struck with inveterate leprosy.
I have read of one Bassus, a murderer, wo
fancied ye chimney birds chattered out ye
sentence — " Bassus killed a man," so con-
fessed— and ye know ye case of David's
adultry. Because yr is a day appointed to
discover and judge secret sins and villanies,
Luke 8, 17. Nothing but wt sll be made
know^n. Some yr fore sll rise to shame and
everlasting contempt. Psa. 90, 8, yos hast
set our iniquities before yee, our secret sins
in ye light of yr countenance.
Imp. — see how this sld caution us against
all ?in and secret yt leads to others. God
beholds ! and with detestation every secret
sin, puts his patience to great trial, endures
wth much longsuffering ye vessels of wrath,
registers all and one day will make you
see. I will set ym in order before yee. Psa.
50, 21, Yea, make all ye world see for he
wll make known the hidden council of ye
heart. How dreadful the case of open sin-
ners yt declare yr sin as Sodom and seek
not a cover — drunkards, profane swearers.
Sabbath breakers, ungodly yt glory in yr
shame.
Wonderful patience of God yt bears wth
such a world of wickedness, secret and
open, wonder ye world stands, tis for X
sake : w' it not yt ye Lord had left us a rem-
nant we had been as Sodom. Isa. i, 9.
How strong ye subject recommends virtue,
probity and sincerity, ye great guards
against secret and open sins ; certainty of a
judgment day ; some men's sins are open
before, others follow after.
Exhort Xns to live near to God and duty;
keep conscience clean and tender; sinners
to awaken to repentance ; you think no
danger; always in danger out of X,

after some consultation &- debate about
Building a new, or repairing the old church.

votes being taken there appeared to be a
considerable majority for building it of
Timber.
The Trustees then convened at Mr.
Smith's— all present. Voted that Deacon
Allen & Mr. Johnson carry a Subscriptio'n
through the parish to get a sufficient' sum
for erecting a new meeting-house, 65 feet
long, 50 feet wide & and 25 feet high, to be
inclosed with shingles.
Voted that the Clerk draw orders on the
receiver of collections (Jas. Smith) for
thirty-five shillings in favor of the Sexton
(Nathan Howell) for his services quarterly.
Voted that no Book be purchased for the
purpose of keeping accounts for the parish.
Board adjourned.
At a meeting of the Trustees at Jos.
Lewis's, the 23d Sept. 1788.— Present Mr.
Mills, Mr. Lindsly, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Smith
& Lewis. Voted that a fence (of post &
3 rails) be made on the parsonage from Mrs.
Hambletons spring to the corner of the
Rev. Doct. Johnes's lot, on the bank of the
<1itch.
That the timber for s'd fence be taken
from the parsonage wood lot. That Mr.
Lewis get the work done at the expense of
the Trustees.

ident & Mr. Mills, be a committee to settle
acc'ts with Rev. Doct. Johnes.
That Justice Lindsly & Mr. Ford be a
committee to superintend the business of
repairing the old meeting House (in a tem-
porary way) so as to answer the purpose
until a new House be built.
Board adjourned.
Dec. 3d. 1789. — The Board met at Mr.
Lewis's. — Present the president, Mr.Lindsly,
Mr. Ford, Mr. Johnson & Mr. Lewis. The
minutes of some of the last meetings of the
Board were read. Mr. Lewis who was ap-
pointed (the 23d of Sept. '88), to get a ditch
cleared, & fence made on the parsonage lot,
reported that he had got the business done
& had p'd Geo. Kelly, 22.6 and William
Johnes 21. for the ditching, & had paid to
Will Johnes, 25.5 fpr the fencing. Ordered
that the same be allowed.
Mr. President from the committee ap-
pointed (14th Oct. '88) to settle accts with
the Rev. Doct. Johnes, reported that Mr.
Mills and himself had proceeded in the set-
tlement, but after having gone thro' the
Doct. suggested some difficulties about it &
to prevent it he was willing to accept the
tax bills or duplicates and subscriptions
(made for his salary) as they now stand and
would take the whole risk of collecting it
and the losses that may be sustained there-
on in full for the present & all preceding
years salary and discharge the parish there-
from, provided the Trustees will appoint
some person or persons who shall at the ex-
pense of the parish go thro' the same &
use their endeavors to obtain the cash or
notes of the several subscribers or persons
taxed & deliver the same to him. On mo-
tion whether the doctors proposal be agreed
to, it passed in the affirmative — and there-
upon Deacon Allen & Mr. Johnson were
appointed to go to every person within the
parish and indebted either on the subscrip-
tions or duplicates (except Thomas Miller
who for his service in making the assess-
ments is to be discharged from the taxes
laid on him) for the salarj'^ aforesaid — & after
they shall have performed the business &
delivered the money or notes by them col-
lected to the Rev. Dr. Johnes or his order,
they shall receive of the parish a reasonable
compensation for their trouble.
Deacon Allen & Mr. Johnson who were
appointed (in June, 1788) to carr)^ subscrip-
tions thro' the parish to get a sufficient sum
subscribed for building a new meeting house
— reported that they had presented the sub-
scriptions to the greatest part of the people
of this parish — they then laid the subscrip-
tions before the Board. It appeared that
there was a sufficient sum subscribed for in-
closing a house of timber according to the
estimate heretofore made, whereupon the
Board agreed to lay the same before the
parish at their first meeting, and that Mr.
f^resident wait on the Rev. Doct. Johnes,
and request him to appoint a day of meeting
for that purpose, and to preach a sermon on
the occasion.

THE RECORD.
We advise our readers carefully to pre-
serve the files of The Record, as they will
grow in value as the years fly. — Democratic
Banner.
The history of the ' First Church " is so
thoroughly interwoven and identified with
the early history of Morris County that The
Record can but prove highly interesting
to our citizens generally. — Chronicle, Jan.
Zi,ih, 1880.
Other old churches would do well to col-
lect and preserve their histories in the same
form, even if the publication were continued
onlj' for a single year — N. Y. Observer, Jan.
zgtA, 1880.
It contains much valuable information,
and must be of great value as a reference in
the future. — Jerseyman, Jan. 23^', 1880.
See also page 96. These are but samples
of the kind words The Record has receiv-
ed from many sources.
Notwithstanding some generous gifts,
for which we desire again to express our
thanks, The Record has not paid ex-
penses for the year. It has fallen behind
about twenty dollars. Who will help make
up this deficiency ?
The Record will be published monthly
during 1881. Terms 50 cents in advance,
75 cents after June. Please send in your
subscriptions at once.
Vol. 1. complete can be had for seventy-
five cents.
HALF-WAY COVENANT.
Editor of the Record :
Some of your readers, doubtless, desire in-
formation concerning the list of" Half-Way
Members," found in The Rec(jrd, from time
to time. Dr. Johnes' caption is as follows :
•' The Names and Number of Persons that
have renewed their cov. or taken their Bap-
tismal Vows upon themselves." (Record,
p. 28.)
None but the children of church members
were regarded, by the early churches of New
England, as proper subjects of baptism.
Baptized children were considered members
of the church, and entitled, at a proper age,
if irreproachable, to partake of the Lord's
Supper. Certain civil privileges, also, were
confined to church members.
The children of the second generation,
however, it was found, were much addicted
to unsanctified and worldly habits of life,
such as unfitted them for full membership
in the church. Others, by reason of the
awe with which the sacrament of the Lord's
Supper was regarded, refraining from the
ordinance, until the later period of life. All
such were denied the privilege of presenting
their offspring to God in baptism. A large
number of children were thus growing up
unbaptized, and fears were seriously enter-
tained that, in some places, the church
would consequent!}'^ become extinct.
To remedy this evil, it was proposed to
recogrrize a qualified church membership in
all baptized persons, even after coming to
maturity, on their consenting to assume
publicly the engagements made bj' their
parents for them when baptized, and this
without any profession of Christian experi-
ence, or converson, binding themselves
simply to live a Christian life, but not to
partake of the Lord's Supper; in consequence
of this qualified membership they were to
have their children duly baptized. This
proposition, after considerable discussion
and much opposition, was sanctioned, by
the Synod of elders and messengers from all
the churches of Massachusetts that met in
1662, at Boston, in the words following :
" Church members who were admitted in
minority.understanding tne doctrine of faith,
and publicly professing their assent thereto,
not scandalous in life, and solemnly owning
the covenant before the church, wherein
they give up themselves and children to the
Lord, and subject themselves to the govern-
ment of Christ in the church — their chil-
dren are to be baptized."
This obtained the name of " the half-way
covenant," was introduced partially into
the other New England Colonies, and found
its way into other churches by emigrants
from New England. It became a fruithful
cause of contention and bitter alienation,
and was the means of filling many of the
churches with unconverted members, lead-
ing at length to great corruption of doctrine.
It has long since been entirely abandoned.

TRUSTEES' BOOK.
Mr. Ford reported that the decay of some
timber on the parsonage made it necessary
to sell or use it to prevent any loss from
further decay. Whereupon Mr. Ford & Mr.
Johnson be a committee to dispose of the
said trees or timber to the best advantage
& to report their proceedings.
Mr. Lewis again suggested the necessity
of having a book provided for entering the
acc'ts of the Trustees. Voted that he pro-
vide a suitable book for that purpose.
December nth, 1789.
At a meeting of the congregation of the
first presbyterian church in Morris Town
(at the request of the Trustees; on the nth
day of December, 1789, to instruct the Trus-
tees respecting their proceedings in building
a new meeting house or appoint a commit-
tee to direct the s'd building, & the con-
gregation having met, the Rev. Doct. Johnes
preached a sermon on the occasion and then
the congregation proceeded to business.
Presid't Condict opened the business of the
day.
Voted that Deacon Allen serve as Mode-
rator of this meeting. That Joseph Lewis
serve as Clerk. A motion was made for ap-
pointing a committee to superintend the
building a new meeting house, as there was
now a sum subscribed sufficient to provide
materials, raise & inclose the same. Elder
Phillips, Elder Condict & others objected. &
alleged the old house would do for a number
of years with some repairs — after some de-
sultory debates a vote was taken — whether
we should repair the old, or build a new
meeting house & there appeared a large
majority for building a new house — after
one year.
Deacon Prudden, Mr. Kinney and others
proposed that a vote should again be
taken, whether the house should be built
ot Brick or of Timber, & the votes being
taken there appeared to be a large majority
tor building of Timber.
The congregation then proceeded to elect
a committee to consist of three persons who
should employ workmen, provide materials
& superintend the said building — & it
was agreed that if any of the Trustees
were appointed to serve in the commit-
tee their place in the Board of Trustees
should be considered as vacant — & the
votes being taken by poll there appeared a
majority in favor of Moses Estey, Joseph
Lewis & Daniel Phoenix, Jun.
A motion was made for some general in-
structions to be given the committee re-
specting the size of the building, where it
should stand, what it should be inclosed
with, &c. The congregation declined giving
any instructions at present but impowered
the committee to appoint a meeting of the
parish at some future time for that purpose
— then adjourned.

Revd Rufus 5 Green :
Dear Sir : Less than an h(jur ago, I
received by mail from the hands of Rev'd
J. C. Rankin, of Baskingridge, a copy of
Vol. L, No. I of the Record. After a care-
ful perusal of the number received I passed
it over to Hon. Edwin Salter, who occupies
the desk nearest mine for his inspection,
thinking he might perhaps like to join me
in the remittance as a subscriber, which he
voluntarily proposed and at once suggested
the names of two or three others in the
Treasury Department whom he thought
would like to join us. I also had a friend,
the grandson of the Rev. Timothy Johnes,
whose name heads your " List of Pastors."
We called upon them at once and found
them as anxious to subscribe as we our-
selves were, and have the pleasure herewith
to furnish a list of 5 subscribers with remit-
tance of 50 cents each — in all $2.50 with ad-
dress of each, and request that we be fur-
nished with copies beginning with No. i, so
that we may be able to preserve the full set
for binding and better preservation.
If a similar enterprise were undertaken in
every county in the United States, the
Record would become invaluable and
save immense labor and correspondence
searching for such information as you pro-
pose to give in the Record. Every citizen
of Morris county and every one whose an-
cestry dates bacK to the early days of New
Jersey, ought and doubtless will subscribe
and find it the best investment they have
ever made of so small a sum of money.
Very respectfully your Ob't Serv't,
John J. Havden.

early renewal of subscriptions ?
Harrisburg, Pen'n.. Oct. 7, 1880.
Dear Sir :
I am very desirous of asceriaining the
names of the parents 01 Eleazer Lindsley,
who was born, orobabiy at Morristown,
Dec. 7, 1737, was Lieutenant-Colonel of Col.
Oliver Spencer's regiment in the continen-
tal service, and with all his family removed
from Morris County in 790. He with his
wife Mary (Miller) became a half-member of
your church, as I earn in the Record Jan.
25. 1761.
The information is desired for genealogi-
cal purposes alone. If in your power to
throw any light on this point, or if you can
refer me to any person likely to know the
history of the Lindsley family, I would be
greatly obliged.
Very lespectfuUy,
Edward Herrick.
FROM HARPER'S MONTHLY. FEBRU-
ARY, I859.
From Dr. Thacher's Journal Tind the Ntw
Jersey Gazette, we learn that " the distin-
guished gentleman, Don Juan de Miralles,"
visited the Short Hills on the 19th or 20th
of April. 1780, and undoubtedly admired the
magnificent prospect there spread out be-
fore him. It was then, and it is now. a par-
adisaical prospect, which, once seen, is not
to be forgotten. When Baron Steuben, on
the 24th of April, had arranged the grand
review of his battalions to the delight of
Washington. De la Luzerne and others, and
that night, while the fire-works were flash-
ing their beautiful eccentricities in tiie dark-
ness, and the sounds of music and dancing
were heard at O'Hara's. Don Juan de Mi-
ralles was tossing with death-fever. Four
days afterward he died, and on the 29th of
April his funeral took place in a style never
imitated or equalled in Morristown since.
Dr. Thacher exhausLcd .ill his expletive
words in expressing his admiration of the
scene, and duubtless would have used more
if they had been at hand. Hear hini :
•• I accompanied Dr. Schuyler to head-
quarters to attend the funeral of M. de
Miralles. The deceased was a gentleman of
high rank in Spain, and had been about one
year a resident with oui Congress from the
Spanish Court. The coi-pse was dressed in
rich state and exposed to public view, as is
customary in Europe. The coffin was most
splendid and stately, lined throughout with
fine cambric, and covered on the outside
with rich black velvet, and ornamente.;! in a
superb manner. The top of the coffin was
removed to display the pomp and grandeur

THE RECORD.
a three-cornered gold-laced hat, a genteel-
cued wig, white silk stockings, large dia-
mond shoe and knee buckles, a profusion of
diamond rings decorated the fingers, and
from a superb gold watch set with diamonds
several rich seals were suspended. His Ex-
cellency General Washington, with several
other general officers, and members of Con-
gress attended the funeral solemnities and
walked as chief mourners. The other offi-
cers, of the army, and numerous respectable
citizens, formed a splendid procession ex-
tending about one mile. The pall-bearers
were six field-officers, and the coffin was
bf)rne on the shoulders of four officers of
the artillery in full uniform. Minute guns
were tired during the procession, which
greatly increased the solemnity of the occa-
sion. A Spanish priest performed the
services at the grave in the Rijman Catho-
lic form. The coffin was inclosed in a box
of plank, and in all the profusion of pomp
and grandeur was deposited in the silent
grave, in the common hurrying ground near
the church at Morristown. A guard is plac-
ed at the grave lest our soldiers should be
tempted to dig for hidden treasure."
This pompous funeral, so pompously de-
scribed, was quite in contrast with the fun-
eral procession which the previous w-eck
entered the same burying ground. The
numerous friends and neighbors of Jacob
Johnson made a long procession, but his
oldest son, Mahlon, who still survives, re-
members that there was only one vehicle
on wheels at that funeral. Dr. Johnes and
the physician led the procession on horse-
back, and the only wagon present was used
to convey the coffin to the graveyard. All
the people, men. women and children, either
rode on horseback or walked on foot. At
the house the pastor drew heavenly conso-
lation for the afflicted from the Word of
God, and at the grave dismissed the people
by thanking them for their kindness to the
dead. And had Dr. Johnes officiated at the
funeral of General Washington his services
woul'i. have been just as simple and unos-
tentatious. These two funerals make no
uniniercsting features in the social life of
Morristown when Washington spent his
last winter there.

TRUSTEES' BOOK.
Jan. 25. 1790. — At a meetingf of the
ish on the 25th of Jan., 1790. for the
pose of giving Rev. Mr. Collins a call to
serve the congregation as an assistant to
Rev. Dr. Johnes in the Ministry. .
Voted, That Deacon Allen serve as Mod-
erator; That Joseph Lewis serve as Clerk.
Voted, Unanimously that the Rev. Mr.
Collins be requested to serve the congrega-
tion as an Assistant to the Rev. Dr. Johnes
in the Ministry, and that he shall receive
beside the use of the House and Parsonage
and fire Wood a Salary of one hundred and
thirty pounds for the first year and f)ne
hundred and forty pounds for the second
and one hundred and fifty pounds annually
thereafter so long as he shall officiate in
the said congregation.
Voted, That the said Salary be raised as
the Law directs State Taxes to be raised ex-
cepting that three assistants or supervisors
should be annually appointed by said parish
whose duty it should be to make such abate-
ments and alterations from the strict rules
of Law as to them shall seem just and equit-
able in consideration of the distance of rt-si-
dence of some of the Parishioners from
the place of worship, or for particular mis-
fortune or embarrassment of circumstances.
And voted that Silas Condict, Esq., Jona-
than Stiles, Esq., and Jonathan Ford be ap-
pointed for the above purpose for the first
year.
The Moderator presented a paper from the
Rev. Dr. Johnes in the words following,
viz :
" Whereas, God in his Providence has
been pleased to disenable me in a great
measure for performing the duties incum-
bent on a minister for so large a congrega-
tion as the one now in my charge, and it
appearing necessary for the accommodation
and benefit of the congregation that some
other person should be employed in the
Ministry as an assistant or otherwise, and
Providence at present apparently having
opened a door for such supply, and it befng
my desire that peace and harmony with which
we have been so long been blessed should
continue, and least it should appear burden-
some to my people to support more than
one Minister, I do freely relinquish the obli-
gation now subsisting between my people
and myself from the time that another
minister shall be settled here and his salary
commence. Notwithstanding this nisigna-
tion I am content to assist in the^ sacred
work of the ministry so far as God shall
enable me, and it shall be acceptable to the
people, and shall entirely submit to the dis-
cretion and generosity of my people to make
me such compensation for the same as to
them shall seem meet."
Voted, That an address containing the
thanks of the Society be presented him in
the words following, viz :
The congregation sensible of the long and
faithful services which the Rev. Dr. Johnes
has rendered this congregation by his care
and prudence as a minister and the blessings
they have been favoured with by means of
his administration. Voted, That the thanks
of the congregation be presented to the Dr.
for such his services and for the friendly
and benevolent manner in which he hath
been pleased to relinquish the obligation
subsisting between him and his people and
for his kind offer of future assistance — and
that Silas Condict, Esq., and Deacon Allen
wait on him and inform him of this Vote.
That the members of the congregation now
present will endeavor that a generous com-
pensation shall be annually contributed so
long as his assistance and direction shall by
a kind providence be continued.
Voted, That the same persons wait on
Rev. Mr. Collins, inform him of the deter-
mination of the congregation and request
his answer.
Voted, That the Trustees hire a house
for Rev. Mr. Collins, and that the same be
levied on the people in the same tax with
the salary.

HISTORICAL SERMON,
No. I.
BY THE
REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D..
Pastor of the Church,
1855-1865.
Preached Thank.sgiving Day, ji
Walk about Zion and go round about her •
tell the towers thereof. Mark ye well her
bulwarks, consider her palaces ; that ye
may tell it to the generations following.
— Psalm xlviii. : 12-13.
{^Printed ■with the approval of Session.]
tants of a place, rich in moral influence and
a noble religious ancestry, we have much to
foster gratitude and induce us to be con-
formed to divine precepts that we may
shew forth the praise of our God. With
hearts touched with the varied marks of
divine beneficence the past year in continu-
ing national and civil rights, and in causing
the earth to yield her richest stores we turn
to consider our own past as a church, that
we may adore that superintending Provi-
dence, that has preserved and enlarged
her, that has been with her in trials, and
that has made her the nursery for heaven
and for many churches in this and other
communities. Let us like the grateful He-
brew walk about our Zion, go around about
her and tell the towers thereof. Mark well
her bulwarks, consider her palaces that we
may tell it to the generation following.
Long before this region became instinct
with a civilized and religious life it was the
hunting ground of the Indians and the home
of the wild beast. * When these wholly dis-
appeared is as difficult to tell as when the
white man first reared his cabin and where.
Upward the tide of civilization rolled from
Long Island, Elizabeth Town, Newark, un-
til it reached thts section in the early part
of last century. Prior to this, Hanover,
then called Whippany, and embracing the
territor)'' now included in the townships of
Morris. Chatham and Hanover was settled.

Newark and Elizabeth Town and settled on

THE RECORD.
the West side of Passaic River in that
wftich is now Morris Count3\"
This region then called West Hanover,
was surveyed in 171510 a number of pro-
prietors, and the land on which Morristown
is built surveyed in the same year to
Joseph Helby, Thomas Stephenson and
John Keys, Keys having 2,000 acres and
the others 1,250 each. The land now occu-
pied by the park and church belonged to
the claim of Keys ; that of Helby ran from
George W. Johnes' toward Speedwell and
southwest to the residence of Mr. Lovell,
whilst Stephens' included the farms now
owned by Revere, Cooper, etc. These tracts
of the first purchasers were not settled by
them but were divided and subdivided by
smaller purchasers until the thrifty farmer
and the hardy mechanic were prosecuting
their appropriate vocations on the desig-
nated and adjoining lands.
When, where and by whom the first house
was reared in Morristown, tradition is silent.
It was no doubt soon after the first survey,
and was near to the stream of water which
still flows in its accustomed channel. There
the grist mill, the saw mill and the forge
were erected ; the two former of vast impor-
tance to the wants of a young colony ; the
latter, owing to the peculiar state of the iron
trade in England at that time and the grow-
ing necessities of this country, called forth
throughout a certain section of the country
the resources and capital of many so that
this region was known for a long time as the
"Old Forges," the ore being brought on
horseback from the mines and when con-
verted into iron carried in the same way
to market at Newark and f^lizabeth Town.
Gen. Washington in 1777 remonstrates
against the exemption of men engaged in
iron manufactories from military duty, ex-
cept those establishments employed for the
public. He says that there are in Morris
County alone between 80 and 100 iron
works, large and small. — Sparks V, 4, p. 397.
Whilst the improvement of their temporal
condition was no doubt a leading motive of
the early pioneers to this region, religion
was not sacrificed but had a controlling
voice in their movements. It was the re-
ligious element that led the New England-
ersand the Scotch and Irish to this prov-
ince, whose fundamental condition guar-
anteed the largest liberty of conscience to
all settlers ; it was here that many came to
be freed from spiritual despotism which
galled them at home, and to certain locali-
ties some repaired to test their favorite
schema of a pure church and a godly gov-
ernment in which power was to be exercised
only b}f those who were members of the
church, and where everything in active an-
tagonism with this principle was to be le-
moved. On this basis Newark and a ftw
other towns were founded. Those who
came into this region from older settlements
where religion was deemed vital to the best
interests of the people brought with them
the sacred love of liberty and of truth, and
the highest regard for religious institutions
which was operative here as elsewhere, in
honoring the Sabbath and the sanctuary
and in regulating social and domestic life.
Almost in immediate connection with the
original survey of Morristown, one John
Richards, of Whippany, school-master, in
the year 1718, in consideration of the love
and affection he had for his Christian friends
and neighbors gave 3J acres " for a meeting
house, school house, burying-yard and
training field," on part of which a church
building was immediately reared and which
forms to-day the burying-ground of Whip-
pany. This place of worship was attended
fov many years by the inhabitants of Mor-
ristown, Madison, Parsippany, Hanover and
Chatham. This was the first organized
church in the county and constitutes what is
now called the Hanover church, to whom
the Rev. John M. Johnson, a son of this
church, ministers. Its first pastor was the
Rev. Nathaniel Hubbell. who supplied this
congregation in connection with one at
Westfield though residing in Hanover. The
second pastor was the Rev. John Nutman,
ordained and settled in 1730 by the Phila-
delphia Presbytery.
The first we hear of him is in the synod
of Philadelphia in 1733, seeking relief from
two grievances, and both occasioned by the
acts of the people of West Hanover or Mor-
ristown. Soon after his installation a ques-
tion was mooted by this section of the con-
gregation about organizing a separate so-
ciet}' which was strenuously opposed by the
Eastern portion. To quiet matters a resort
was had to the casting of lots, which re-

suited against the proposed division. This
w:iy of determining the case was opposed by
this branch of the congregation so that they
would not submit to the decision. (For their
action in this matter, though they gained
their point, yet the church when organized
called them to account. The record is us fol-
low'S : A public confession at the settlement
of this church for a transgression relating
to a lot cast with reference to the settling a
house for public worship between Hanover
and this town ; the persons that confessed
aro Joseph Coe, John Lindslev. Joseph
Prudden, Matthew Lum, Uriah Cutler,
Stephen Freeman, Peter Condit. Jacob
Ford, Joseph Howard, Benj. Bailey, Philip
Condit, &c.) The whole afifair was carried
up to Synod in 1733 who strongly disap-
proved of the casting of lots, and resolved
that in their present circumstances of pov-
erty and weakness it might be very advisa-
ble for the people of West Hanover, at least
for some time, to join themselves with the
congregations of East Hanover and Bask-
ingridge as may be most convenient, until
they as well as the said neighboring con-
gregations be more able to subsist of
themselves separately. Yet if reunion was
impracticable " the S5''nod judge that the
people of West Hanover be left to their lib-
erty to erect themselves into a separate con-
gregation." No doubt knowing the temper
and state of feeling in this part of his field
of labor this deliverance of Synod was in no
way satisfactory to Mr. Nutman, for at the
same session .of the body he asked for a dis-
mission from his Presbytery, if this action
was enforced of forming a separate congrega-
tion, whereupon the S3'^nod earnestly recom-
mended the Presbytery of East New Jersey
to travail with the people of West Hanover
to effect a reconciliation, and if this was im-
possible then to dismiss Mr. Nutman upon
his applicatic)n. The next year the matter
again came before the Synod in the reading of
the minutes when the use of lots was con-
demned, and yet say the)' "we are afraid
that much sin has been committed b)' many
if not all that people in their profane disre-
gard of said lot, and therefore excite them to
reflect upon their past practices in reference
thereunto in order to their repentance."
This implied censure in no way healed the
breach. There bad been too much said arid
done, on both sides again to work in con-
cert; so that, independent of the counsel-
lings of Synod, this branch of the congre-
gation made application to that body on
the following year for the ordination of one
who had recently come among them. The
Synod referred the matter to the^ Presby-
tery of Philadelphia. In May. 1736, the
people pressed the l^resbytery to proceed in
the ordination of Mr. Cleverly, when they
directed the congregation to appoint a day
and give them due notice that they might
attend properly to the business. For some
cause no day was designated. So that the
Presbytery in August, 1737, met here but
found opposition on the part of some of the
people to *his settlement ; in virtue of this
state of things they urged him to seek an-
other field of labor and wrote to the rector
of Yale College to send a candidate, giving
as a reason that " they knew no other way
to supply them." This advice was not
taken as he remained in Morristown till his
death in December, in 1776. He never
married. His small property became nearly
exhausted toward the close of life and re-
duced him to hardships. (The church was
most likely, supplied bj'^ him till the settle-
ment of Mr. Johnes.)
The Synod in 1738, finding the difficulties
still existing and anxious to bring the case
to a final issue, appointed a large commit-
tee which met on the 20th of July, at Hano-
\-er. The members present were Andrews, of
Philadelphia, Gilbert Tennent.of New Bruns-
wick, William Tennent, of Freehold, John
Cross, of Baskingridge, Crowell, of Trenton,
and Treat, of Abington. An opening sermon
was preached by Gilbert Tennent from
Ezek. xi : 19. " I will give them one heart."
The Eastern part were still anxious for a
union ifit could be had on reasonable terms ;
to this the Western portion were however
averse and represented according to truth
that they were much increased in number,
being nearly one-half abler than they were,
and the committee finding that they both
were better able to support the Gospel,
unanimously concluded that there should
be two separate societies, and that no further
attempts should be made to merge them
into one, and in this decision all parties ex-
pressed their entire satisfaction.

TRUSTEES' BOOK.
Feb. I, 1790. — At a meeting of the Trus-
tees at the house of Jos. Lewis present,
The president Mr. Lindsly, Mr. Ford, Mr.
Mills and Mr. Johnson.
In consequence of the vote of the Parish
meeting the 25th ult. the Trustees prepared
an obligation for the Rev'd Mr. Collins'
Salary and house rent in words following —
viz. •
Whereas on the 25th dayof January 1790
at a parish meeting for that purpose ap-
pointed, it was unanimously voted that the
Rev. Aaron Collins should be employed as
a minister of the gospel of the first Presby-
terian Church and Congregation in Morris-
town and that the said Mr. Collins should
have besides the use of a house and parson-
age and fire wood, as a salary the sum of
one hundred and thirty pounds for the first
year, and one hundred and forty pounds for
the second year, and the sum of one hun-
dred and fifty pounds annually thereafter so
long as he shall continue to do the duties
of a minister to the said Congregation, and
it being also voted that the said salary to-
gether w'ith the money for the hire of a
house for the said minister, should be raised
and levied upon the parishioners by the
way of a tax as the law directs the State taxes
to be raised excepting that three assist-
ants or supervisors should be annually ap-
pointed by the Parish, whose duty it should
*be to make abatements and alterations from
the strict rules of law as to them shall seem
just and equitable in consideration of the
distance of residence of some of the parish-
ioners from the place of worship or for par-
ticular misfortune or embarrassment of cir-
cumstances. Therefore we the subscribers
sensible of the general utility and v^ast im-
portance to ourselves and posterity of sup-
porting the gospel, and being desirous that
unanimity may subsist and continue, and
that the burden of such support may be
borne as equitably as possible and hoping
jointly to participate^n the advantages and
blessings of the Gospel ministry, do hereby
bind ourselves to pay the sums that shall be
so assessed and levied upon us annually to
commence from the ist day of March one
thousand seven hundred & ninety, unto the
said Aaron Collins, or to such person or
persons as shall by the said parish be ap-
pointed to collect or receive the same, and
that during the time he shall continue to
officiate, and do the duties of a minister to
said congregation, and we continue to be
members thereof, or until the mode of pay-
ment shall be revoked or altered by plural-
ity of voices of the said Parishioners.
In witness whereof we have hereunto set
our hands this first day of Feb. 1790.
The trustees also proposed a subscription
for the Rev. Doct. T. Johnes' salary, in the
words following, viz.
Whereas the Rev. Doct T. Johnes in con-
sequence of his being by divine Providence
disenabled at least in part of performing
the duties of a minister of the Gospel to the
people of his charge, and they by his con-
sent and advice having agreed to employ
another minister to assist and perform the
duties of the Gospel ministry to the said
people, and the said Doct. Johnes having
generously relinquished the obligation his
people were under to pay him his stipulated
salary at the same time kindly offering to
serve and assist by his counsel & admin-
istration, as far as God shall enable him in
the sacred work of the ministry. We the
subscribers being sensible not only of his
past long and faithful services to our
Fathers and to us. and the blessing we have
thereby enjoyed, but also of the need we
still stand in of his pious advice and instruc-
tions, do cheerful!}' agree and promise to
pa}' to the said Doct. T. Johnes or order the
sums severally affixed to our names and
that from the time the other minister shall
commence, annually, so long as the said
Doct. Johnes shall continue to render such,
his advice and assistance to the said congre-
gation, or until we shall each for himself
withdraw this our consent 4nd choice of
rewarding virtue.
Witness our hands this ist day of Feb.,
1790.
Voted, That Deacon Allen and Mr. John-
son be requested to go through the Society
with the said obligation and subscription
and endeavor to get them signed.

HISTORICAL SERMON.
No. I.
BY THE
REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.,
The way now being open for their or-
ganization, and being within the bounds of
the Presbytery of New York, which was
formed the same year by the union of the
Presbyteries of Long Island and East Jer-
sey, we have no doubt that in the fall of
i738,orthe beginning of I739,this church had
a name and a place among the Presbyterian
churches of the land. As Mr. Cleverly still
sojourned in Morristown* — a name about
this time given to the township, the county
being laid out in 1738 and named Morris
after the Gov., Lewis Morris, and which in-
cluded the region now covered by Sussex
and Warren — he no doubt officiated occa-
sionally or regularly until a pastor was
chosen. For a period of four years, that is
from the time the Synodical Committee au-
thorized the organization of a church until
Aug. 13, 1742, we can find no trace of the state
of this Society in any of its ecclesiastical
movements. At that time appeared the Rev.
Timothy Johnes. a licentiate, who supplied
the pulpit for six Sabbaths, and whose min-
istrations were so satisfactory that the con-
gregation urged him to remain and become
their pastor. To this he assented, brought
his family, consisting of his wife and two
children, and was ordained and installed by
the New York Presbytery, Feb. 9, 1743.
Mr. Johnes was of Welsh descent end was
born at Southampton, Long Island, May 24th,
1717, and graduated at Yale College in 1737.
Mr. Webster in his history of the Presbyte-
The order of Baptisms for 1768— May,
June, July, May, June— is copied as found
on the original record.
Rev. Jos. T. Tuttle, D. D., says : "The first time I find
Morristown is applied to this place is March 25, 1740, when
the county were divided into townships by the Court. This
it found in the oldest book of Records in th« County Clerk's
Office."

THE RECORD.
rian church, says " of the period between
his leaving college and going to Morristown
we have seen no notice, except that, in that
perilous time when some haply were found
fighting against God. those who separated
from the First Parish in New Haven wor-
shipped in the house of Mr. Timothy
Johnes" From this it would appear that he
studied Theology at New Haven. He was
no doubt licensed by the congregational
body, and came to Morristown by means of
the letter of Presbytery to the president of
the college or by a subsequent request to
the same. Tradition asserts that he labored
for a short period on Long Island in some
of the vacant churches. With Mr. Johnes
this church assumes historic character,
shape and life, as from the date of his settle-
ment the church records begin, though for
a time the entries of sessional business are
meagre, yet they are sufficient to indicate
the character of the church in its govern-
ment and relations. Mr. Barnes in his
manual of the church published in 1828,
says "it is not known under what form of
church government, whether congrega-
tional or Presbyterian, the congregation was
first organized — as Ruling Elders are men-
tioaed however as early as the year 1747, it
is probable it was Presbyterian." But the
history of the church as already detailed
confirms its Presbyterian origin — the head-
ing of the church records, and the first bus-
iness transacted by Mr. Johnes prove it.
These are as follows : " The affairs as deter-
mined by our session of the minister and
elders.
1743. Was agreed that the minister's ex-
penses in the service of the churches should
be defrayed from church fund." The
next entry gives the list of the elders — as
constituting the session with the minister
(1747,) viz.: Joseph Prudden. Matthew Lum,
John Lindsly, Joseph Coe and Jacob Ford,
and in 1745 at the first meeting of the synod
of New York we find among its members
the aames of Timothy Johnes, minister, and
Joseph Prudden, elder. Yet here we dis-
cover that whilst the session transacted all
judicial business of which there is a full re-
cord, no allusion is made in their meetings
to the reception of persons to full com-
munion until 1791 when we have the follow-
ing decision : "The question was then put
whetherthe elders shall not with the min-
isters or either of them be a committee to
examine all candidates for church member-
ship which was unanimously agreed to " —
from which it may be inferred that they
were either examined by the pastor alone
as in some Presbyterian churches — or that
the examinatiort was conducted before and
by the members of the churches — according
to the opinion of Mr. Barnes. I prefer the
former opinion because there is no hint or
trace that the congregation ever participat-
ed in this matter, and also from the heading
of the list ol those thus received, which is
as follows , " The names and number of
the persons admitted to full communion iy
myself, since my ordination with the time
of their admission." This siame practice
prevailed in the First Church of Newark till
1790.
The strength of the church in numbers and
wealth at its first organization cannot now
be learned. Rev. Samuel L. Tuttle in his
history of the Madison Presbyterian church,
another oflf-shoot of Hanover, a few years
later, says, " In or about 1740 a small and
very feeble church was organized and estab-
lished in Morristown." But it would seem
from the action of the Committee of Synod
as well as from the whole course of pro-
cedure of this section of the church that
they were able from the beginning to sup-
port the gospel. There were 99 in full com-
munion when Mr. Johnes was installed pas-
tor, by no means "a very feeble church,"
yet small in comparison with the power it
has since attained, but by no means to be
ranked in those days among the feeble
churches in the land. As the records of
the old Presbytery of New York are lost we-
cannot tell who were present to take part
in the ordination and installation services of
the first pastor of this flock, but it was at
that time composed of the following minis-
ters and churches, Dickinson of Elizabeth
Town. Pierson of Woodbridge, Aaron Burr
of Newark, Nutman of Hanover, Hubbel of
Wcstfield, Horton of Connecticut Farms,
Pemberton of New York City, Wilmot of
Jamaica, Leonard of Goshen, Pomeroy of
Newtown, and F. Horton missionary among
the Indians on Long Island, covering ter-
ritory now occupied by eight Presbyteries
and three Synods. The church at Mend-

ham, organized in 1735, received its first pas-
tor a few months after the induction of Mr.
Johnes. The only other church in this re-
gion was that of Baskingridge, organized
in 1733, and at that time supplied by its
second pastor. This was however in an-
other coupty and belonged to another
Presbytery. It thus appears that our church
was the second in the county that had a
settled minister though the third in age.
Hanover the mother, born in 1718, and
Mendham in 1735.
Among those who welcomed their 3'oung
pastor to their hearts and homes, and whose
descendants are still found on the roll of
this church were Prudden, Pierson, Free-
man, Condit, Cutler, Mills, Stiles, Johnson
and one of the first received into com-
munion with the church was Elizabeth
Johnes, wife of the pastor. »But the parish of
to-day is vastly different from the one that
became the home of Timothy Johnes. The
village if it might be so named was centred
mainly in Water street. In or near it were
found the store, the mill, the blacksmith's
shop and forge, though Morris street might
boast of an occasional hut, and perhaps two
or three might be found amidst the clearings
of the Green. The forest trees were stand-
ing where we now are and what is now the
Park could boast of the giant oak, the
chestnut and other noble specimens of
growth, with which its present shade trees
are not to be named. The woods around
were visited by the panther and the bear,
while wolves in great numbers answered
each other from the neighboring hills. The
sheep and cattle were brought into pens for
the night. Roads were scarcely known.
The bridle path or Indian trail was all that
conducted the occasional traveler to Mend-
ham, who saw on his way thither a mill, a
blacksmith's shop and two dwellings — in
three separate clearings. There was
scarcely a better path to Baskingridge.
There were no postal routes, no newspa-
pers and but few books to instruct and
amuse.* Life was then a reality. In the
*In 1743 the year that Mr. Johnes was installed, Franklin
advertised that as the post between Philadelphia and New
York had gone once a fortnight that it would from April 13
set out for New York on Thursdays at 3 o'clock in the after-
noon till Christmas, and the southern post would be sent every
fortnighl during the summer. The first periodical published
in New Jersey was at Woodbridge in 1758 called the New
American Magazine.
new settlement every one had to be busy
in order to procure such comforts and ne-
cessaries as were required. Frugal habits
and simple manners distinguished their
every day life ; and their domestic relations
partook more of the patriarchal and less of
the commercial, for worldly prosperity had
not been sufficient to create that jealous dis-
tinction of rank with which we are so often
ckarged as a community. Religion had a
moulding influence upon the household, and
which from dearth of news often formed the
principal topic of converse between neigh-
bors. The Sabbath was rigidly kept ; the
church was regularly frequented and the
minister was highly revered and loved.
Into a parish bearing largely the type of
New England and with which the new pas-
tor was well acquainted — both on Long
Island and Connecticut — did he enter,
which he further moulded by his influence,
regulated by sound principles and which
was blessed more than half of a century by
his presence and instructions.
We can only conjecture as to the religious
condition of the church at the commence-
ment of his labors. The troubles and con-
test preceding the organization were in no
way congenial to a healthy growth of piety,
and after the church was established it was
without a settled minister for years — a state
of things by no means favorable to the
graces of the flock and to their steady in-
crease. Religion throughout the country
was at low ebb. This deeply affected many
of God's faithful servants and was a subject
of lamentation in the church courts, but
now better days had arrived. The minis-
trations of the Tennents and Whitfield were
attended w'ith the most remarkable results ;
a knowledge of which was wafted to the
place, and perhaps Mr. Johnes brought with
him the spirit of the awakening which
might have been deepened at his induction
into the pastorate by those who greatly
sympathized in that wonderful movement.
At the first communion he was privileged
to admit to sealing ordinances, Benjamin
Hathaway, Samuel Bailey, John Perkis,
Mary Perkis, Hannah Lindly and Elizabeth
Johnes — an earnest of what God had in store
for this people.

HISTORICAL SERMON,
No. I.
BY THE
REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.,
The year previous to his coming to this
place, the Presbyterian Church, then in its in-
fancy in this bnd, had been rent in twain. It
consisted at that time of 6 Presbyteries and
one Synod, called the Synod of Philadelphia,
Its ministry was gathered from difterent
countries, whose early training and habits
influenced their views, which, being diverse,
interfered to some extent with the general
harmony of the body. The points, which
had elicited for years the warmest discussion,
were strict adherence to Presbyterial order
— the examination of candidates for the
ministry, and their literary acquirements.
Whilst there had been continued friction on
these topics the visit of Whitefield brought
matters to a crisis. In the great awakening
which attended his labors, frequent scenes
of fanaticism and extravagance were wit-
nessed, that awoke the displeasure of the
more rigid in the Synod, who were not
backward to pronounce the whole work a
delusion. Those who warmly favored the
revival, were as earnest in its approval.
This, with the other matters mentioned, led
to a division of the Synod in 1741— the"01d
Side,'" as it was called constituting the
Synod of Philadelphia, and the " New Side"
the Synod of New York. This church
naturally came into connection with the
New Side, with many of whose views by
reason of association and education Mr.
Johnes warmly sympathized.
We are now brought to his active labors
in the congregation, in which we are to
view him as a man of God. anxious to do
good, to build up the waste places and bring
his hearers to Christ. Of the style of his
preaching but little judgment can be form-
ed, as none of his sermons, as far as we
know, were ever printed,* and but few of his
MSS. remain, and scarcely any with us to-
day are old enough to remember the style
and character of his productions. We have,
however, the record of these gathered Iroir.
a former generation, and published in 1828,
as follows : " As a preacher he is said to
have been clear, plain, practical and persua-
sive. His discourses were rather an affec-
tionate appeal to the heart, than profound-
and elaborate disquisition on abstruse points'
of theology. He aimed rather to win men to
the practice of holiness, than to terrify and
denounce them." And, says one yet amongst
us. Dr. Lewis Condict, in a vigorous old
age, and who was with him a great deal in
his last days, " As a preacher he was popu-
lar, impressive and earnest, speaking horn
the heart with affectionate kindness — he
seldom failed to reach the hearts of his
hearers. His sermons were seldom written
out, but consisted of brief notes, on which
he enlarged extemporaneously. He dwelt
*One of his sermons was printed in The Rbcord of Octo-
ber last. — Ed.

THE RECORD.
on the practical duties of Christianity, with
fervor and plainness, seldom, if ever, indulg-
ing in speculative theology or metaphysics.
His favorite authors were Flavel, Baxter,
Banyan and Doddridge. His delivery was
natural and unaffected, with animation and
earnestness adapted to his subject and suffi-
cient to show that he felt the full force of
the truths he uttered.
As a pastor he was much with his people :
visiting from house to house, and becoming
acquainted with the circumstances of every
family. In these interviews, he sought as
in the pulpit to bring home the concerns of
eternity to the hearts and consciences of each
and by his kind words and genial manner
he not only inculcated pure sentiments but
was instrumental in training many in the
ways of sobriety and godliness. He was
particular in his attention to the children
and youth, collecting them at stated periods
in their respective neighborhoods and
school houses, hearing recitations in the
catechism, explaining its truths and occa-
sionally bestowing upon those whose pro-
ficiency was most apparent, some little
token of approbation. By his kind atten-
tions he won their hearts and retained them
through life. His admonitions became law
and as they grew up, they treated him
with respect, venerated his presence and
loved him for his excellencies. Then the
power of the clergy was great and was skil-
fully used by him. The child scarcely, if
ever, heard their pastor disparaged and his
instructions contemned and as a conse-
quence, the seed that he scattered and his
efforts to benefit were accompanied in due
time with God's blessing, so that in his old
age he found an entire congregation, whose
hearts and minds had been moulded by his
ministry, to be largely in unison with his
own.
At certain seasons he held regular meet-
ings for young men, giving written ques-
tions from the Bible to those who were
willing to give written answers, which were
publicly read and commented upon by him.
The children when catechised always stood
up as a mark of respect to the minister.
He was preeminently a lover of peace and
a peacemaker. Quick to discern any coldness
or contention between neighbors, he was
not at ease until the difficulties were removed
i n harmony with the laws of affection and
concord. He was dignified in deportment,
yet easy of access ; still no one could trifle
with him nor use unbecoming language in
his presence. In church discipline he was
strict as the many cases left on record
abundantly testify, amounting in all to 170.
This arose in part from the texture of so-
ciety and from social usages which led the
unwary astray.
He was a man of great system and order,
having a time for every duty. His days and
hours for study and preparation for the
pulpit were understood by his people, as
well as his days for visiting and receiving
visits. His church records exhibit the name
of every member from the commencement
to the close of his ministry, as well as mar-
riages, births, baptisms and generally the
ages of the children. Says the aged mem-
ber alluded to and to whom I am greatly
indebted for important reminiscenses of Dr.
Johnes and who has had many opportunities
of inquiring as to the time of marriage of
parties, &c., " In but one instance have I
found a disagreement as to the date of the
marriage and that variance was but of a
single day, and in that case the widow after
much reflection admitted her own mistake
and that the record of her minister was
correct."
Whilst in all these things he was a model
pastor, the same regularity is not apparent
in his attendance upon church courts. As
the records of the Presbytery are lost we
cannot tell how punctual he was in attend-
ance upon its meetings. But those of the
Synods of New York and Philadelphia are
preserved and we find him often absent.
At the first meeting of the Synod of New
York after the division, held in Elizabeth-
town, 1745 ; he was present, with Joseph
Prudden, an elder from this church. In the
following year a large number of absentees
is recorded, among whom was Timoth)'
Johnes, but with this insertion, "The Synod
is informed that most of the absent members
were upon their journey to New York to
attend the Synod but were prevented
through apprehensions of the small pox
and other difficulties," In 1747 he is pres-
ent with Joseph Prudden ; absent in
the years '48, '49,' '51, '52, but present at
Philadelphia in 1753; at Newark, 1754 and
THE RECORD.
123
'56; absent in 1758, when the two Synods
of New York and Philadelphia after a separ-
ation of 17 years were happily reunited, after
mutual concession had been made. In 1764
he is again present with his faithful elder
Joseph Prudden and both are placed on the
commission of Synod. .In r 68 he is a mem-
ber with Col. Jacob Ford as elder and is
appointed one of a committee to visit Bed-
ford, N. Y., and settle all the differences in
the congregation. His last attendance upon
the body was in 1779, when he opened the
Synod with a sermon, having been moder-
ator the preceding year.
I have not been able to learn the amount
of salary promised to the young pastor on
his acceptance of the call, or in what way it
was to be paid. In those days many of the
congregations furnished their ministers
with a house and farm or else promised him,
in the call, a sum of money to buy a planta-
tion. Thus when Mr. Hubbel was settled
at Hanover and Westfield, the congregation
gave him as a settlement so many acres of
parsonage land in fee simple, while all who
chose bound themselves by a covenant to
be assessed according to their property.
The salaries were often paid in kinds, wheat,
Indian corn, hemp and linen yarn being
frequently specified in the call. Yea, every
imaginable article from " a riddle to a
Squire's publishment of a marriage " has
been found on the count books of ministers
as being received in payment of stipend.
Tradition makes the-cash part of Mr. Johnes'
salary at first to be ^20, a trifle over $50.
His table was furnished principally from the
parsonage land, which covered the triangu-
lar piece of ground bounded by Morris,
South and Pine streets and stretching down
to the Whippany rivei. The ploughing,
planting of the ground and harvesting of the
crops were performed mainly by the farmers
of the parish, who also furnished and cut all
the wood used, and at their visitations the
parishioners carried large supplies for the
table, when they were assured of a hearty
welcome. "It was a rare occurrence" says one,
"in those primitive days that a visitor carried
away from the parsonage more good things
than he or she brought, while in his social
visits in the congregation, with his wife or
alone, he scarcely ever returned home empty
handed." The first allusion to salary on the
church books is in April 1759, soon after the
charter of the church was obtained* and is
as follows : " We inquired into the ovet-
plus money of Mr. Johnes' rates including
the year 1757, when it was found that of ail
past rates only /14, 13 was due to him. and
after his demands were answered and the
assessor collects from said rates, the re-
mainder should be lodged in the trustees
hands." These rates were assessed upon
the property' or income, and collected by a
person or persons appointed by the congre-
gation and this custom continued until the
building of the present edifice, which was
commenced upon the same plan of assess-
ment. Though we find at times that notes
for the rates and subscriptions were put into
the Dr.'s. hands which hetook as an equiv-
alent for salary, making such reduction lor
the poor as he deemed proper. As the con-
gregation increased in members and wealth
additions were made to his salary until it
became ^150. The dwelling now occupied

HISTORICAL SERMON— No I.
By REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.
As to the benevolence of the church in
matters pertaining to the well being and
furtherance of Christ's Kingdom, but little
can be gathered. At the time of Mr. Johnes'
installation David Brainard was preaching
to the Stockbridge Indians, and in 1744 he
came to the Forks of the Delaware, and in
1745 he visited the Indians at Crosswicks,
near Freehold of this State. He was in that
day the missionary of the church, and of
the monies collected in 1745 in connection
with his mission, I find in his life the sum of
£1, 5 credited to Morristown. This was the
first Foreign Mission collection ever made
by this congregation.
{Printed with the approval of Session.)
themselves in behalf of the college, and
collected the sum of £\\o — of which Dr.
Johnes gave ^9, and Jacob Ford £;i\. In
1787, the sum of £\\ 3s. gd. was sent for the
education of poor and pious youth in the
college.
The first church edifice was no doubt
reared some time before the coming of Mr.
Johnes. We judge that this was so from
the fact that prior to his induction there
were no less than nine public confessions.
It was a wooden building nearly square and
stood a few rods east from this structure on
land given by Benjamin Hathaway and Jon-
athan Lindsly for a parsonage and burial
ground. On this land the house already
mentioned and occupied for many years by
Dr. Johnes was reared and the land enlarged
by purchase by order of trustees in 1762.
It was stated by some of those who seceded
from Hanover that when the frame was
raised, a small platform of boards, with a
chair and small table served for a pulpit and
the congregation were seated on the sills
and on other timbers. The congregation
slowly increased — at the First Communion
six were added and in the next 21 years
67 were admitted to full communion on
profession and more by certificate — from
which we infer that the growth of the coun-
try was not rapid— among this number was

— the same bpll which still summons the
people to the house of God. The tradi-
tional history of this bell is that it was pres-
ented to the church at Morristown by the
King of Great Britain. It has on it the im-
press of the British Crown and the name of
the makers, " Lister & Pack of London, —
fecit." The vane of this steeple decorated
the spire of the old Academy of New Ver-
non.
In the year 1771, (Sept. 7) "the trustees,
Henry Primrose, Benjamin Bayles, Benja-
min Cox, Samuel Roberts, Joseph Stiles,
Samuel Tuthill and Stephen Conkling, in
consideration of ^5 and also for and in con-
sideration that the Justices .and Freeholders
of Morris county, and successors do con-
stantly and continually keep full and in
passable repair that part of the hereafter
mentioned Lott of land commonly called the
Gully (a portion of the present 'Green')
containing one acre strict measure for the
sole use and purpose of a Court House,
Gaol," etc. This deed specifies " that if the
Court House aforesaid shall be removed to
any other place then this indenture and
everything herein contained to be void and
title to the aforesaid lot of land to revert to
said Henry Primrose," etc. When the pres-
ent Court House was built, the land reverted
to the church. But the whole now em-
braced in the park was sold by the trustees
in 1816 to certain parties for $1,600, and in
virtue of this sale, the land occupied by the
Court House became according to the deed
apart of the "Green."
By the revivals of 1764 and 1774, the
church was greatly enlarged, so that room
could scarcely be had for the congregation
in the old square building — on the latter
year the trustees agreed that the Society
might enlarge the meeting house at their
discretion — whereupon the timbers running
lengthwise were sawn asunder in the centre
and the western half moved about 25 feet
and the space built up to conform with the
old parts — a spacious gallery was raised on
the front and each end — the pulpit high and
cup like in the centre of the north side, the
main entrance door on the S. side in front
of the pulpit. Two other entrances, one at
each end were provided, and thus in this
building the first pastor of Morristown be-
gan and ended his labors.
Such was the church and the minister,
but ere we can complete the whole, we must
glance at the congregation. The Sabbath
was the great day of the week — the ser-
mon the principal event and chief topic of
converse. There were two services on the
Sabbath, with an hour intermission. In
winter there were no means of warming the
old church, yet from all parts of the patish,
embracing a much larger circumference than
at present, they came — many on foot, espe-
cially the boys and the men — and the rest
on horseback. Sometimes in carts with a
sheaf of straw laid across for a seat. Before
the Revolution there were very few wagons
or carriages — all are warmly clad especially
in cloth of domestic manufacture, prepared
for the rigors of winter — the females having
generally foot stoves. They enter the build-
ing and a division made nowhere else in all
their social and religious customs at once
takes place. The men are seated promis-
cuously on the W. side of the broad aisle,
which serves for a partition, the wives and
the little ones on the opposite side — the
same distinction holding good in the gallery,
and kept up until this house was reared.
Access was to the galleries by two stair-
ways, and this part of the building was re-
served for the youth and the unmarried.
A few overseers of grave character were
distributed through the galleries to preserve
order, and which seems to have been neces-
sary in those days. As there were no pews
claimed as private property the front seats
were generally filled by the old. The ser-
vices begin — the prayer is offered — the
Psalm or Hymn read. Watts' was alone
used in those days and continued until sup-
planted by the "Church Psalmody." When
the pastor sits down, up rises the Psalm set-
ter as was his title in those days, and stand-
ing at the foot of the pulpit commences
the tune — whea the first line is sung, the
second line is read which was also sung, and
thus reading and singing alternately till the
end of the Psalm. It was nothing very un-
usual to have considerable variety both in
the music and the sentiment of the line,
some forgetting the words and some the
tune adapted to the metre of the line.
This part of worship was in due time
remedied through the labors and persever-
ance of the pastor, who as a lover of good

sacred music, was instrumental in organiz-
ing singing schools in the parish. He en-
couraged the young to attend and was often
present himself, advising with the teacher
in the proper selection of music suitable for
the sanctuary. By degrees a great reform
was effected. Psalm books were procured.
The rising generation could read, which was
not true of all their fathers, and in time the
lining was discontinued to the joy of the
younger, but to the grief and displeasure of
some of the older members of the congre-
gation. We have heard that one good man
was so incensed at this innovation that he
would not come to Communion 'for years.
Improvement in singing led to the forma-
tion of a choir, and during the latter part of
the ministry of Dr. Johnes, the superiority
of the Morristown choir was universally
admitted.
For many years this was the only house
of worship in Morristown — then the Bap-
tist church was organized. Benedict in his
history of the Baptists says, "As early as
1717, (this is a mistake) one David Goble
with his family of the Baptist persuasion re-
moved to this place from Charleston, S.C.,
and some ministers of the same order began
to preach at their house ; a small company
after many years of patient eflfort were col-
lected as a branch of old Piscataway, which
in 1752 was formed into a distinct church."
The first building was erected on the lands
of the said Goble, about two miles from
town and just beyond the brick school
house on the road to Baskingridge. In 1770
their first building in the village was erected.
There are many matters of a private and
public character with which the name of
Dr. Johnes is connected, but I must pass by
all and allude to one of historic value, re-
lating to a religious act in the life of Wash-
ington. At the commencement of the year
1777, Washiilgton reached Morristown and
took winter quarters at the Arnold tavern —
scarcely had he arrived before he encoun-
tered a new enemy — the small pox. It at-
tacked soldier and citizen so that we find
from the Bill of Mortality 68 deaths in this
congregation alone from this terrible dis-
ease, and during the year from various
causes 205 deaths in the parish, exclusive of
soldiers. Never in the history of the town
has death chained so many to his chariot
wheels as in that year of suffering and sad-
ness. Every public building \vas seized for
the soldiery — the church was a hospital, and
often in the morning were the dead found
lying in pews. Dr. Johnes, son of the pas-
tor was intrusted with the care of the sick.
This state of things compelled the congre-
gation to meet in the open air for divine
service. As the time of Communion drew
near, which was then observed semi-annu-
ally, Washington accosted Mr. Johnes with
the inquiry " if membership with the Pres-
byterian church was required as a term of
admission to the ordinance.' To which he
replied " that all who loved the Lord Jesus
were welcome." This pleased and satisfied
the General, and on the coming Sabbath in
the cold air, he was present with the con-
gregation assembled in the orchard in the
rear of the parsonage, and in the natural
basin, still found there, he sat down at the
table of the Lord, and in the remembrance
of redeeming love obtained no doubt relief
from the scenes that appalled and the cares
that oppressed him. The common opinion
is that the Lord's Supper was administered
in the church. This is so stated in Spark's
life of Washington and by other writers, but
the true version is as already given. The
church was occupied by invalid troops till
the close of the year 1777, if not till some
time in 1778, as the records of the trustees
show. This was the only time after his en-
trance upon his public career that Washing-
ton is certainly known to have partaken of
the Lord's Supper.
We have seen Mr. Johnes in different
parts of his ministry, let us look at him at
the grave. It is towards the last of Octo-
ber, 1775 ; the foliage is changed and falling;
in the spring, he had stood there in the
same spot and deposited the remains, in the
open tomb, of a beloved grandchild. Now
it is over all that is mortal of a Godly elder
that he is deeply moved. The coffin is low-
ered— he lifts his voice in prayer — of the
weeping and afflicted mourners, one is ab-
sent, a wayward youth, at that time captain
of a company, and seemingly hardened in
guilt. For that son earnest petitions are
arising to a covenant God, that he would
answer the cryings and intense desires
of the departed for that erring boy, the
prayers that were registered in the court of
132
THE RECORD.
heaven for him— that son draws near, he has
visited his home and found it desolate — a
neighbor has told him of the death of his
father, and of the funeral services — he has-
tens to the grave and unseen by the pastor
he listens to the allusion to the prayers that
are on high. These words reach his soul
and by the Spirit they are instrumental in
leading him to Jesus, when he consecrates
himself to his service and for his glory.
Thus did God own his labors, in the per-
formance of his official duties at the grave
of a friend — let us follow him a few years
later to the couch of the invalid — to one
who has seen service in the army. He is
approaching his end. The ambassador of
Christ tells him of deliverance and beseeches
him to be reconciled to God. The message
thus brought finds a lodgment in his soul,
it drives him to the cross, when a change
great and marked is apparent to his Quaker
wife. This with his death so affects her that
she too is touched, and in due time she em-
braces Christ as her only hope, and pub-
licly professes her faith in Christ in the old
church. The faithfulness of the aged pas-
tor impresses itself upon the mind of the
orphaned boy, which never lost his power
over him. That boy grew to man's estate
and for 54 years was a member of this church
— and his children's children are members
of it to-day — while numbers of his descend-
ants in various parts of the country are con-
nected with the Presbyterian church. In
1783, Mr. Johnes received the degree of D.
D. from Yale College, no mean honor in
those days. Soon after this he began to
feel the infirmities of age, but kept on la-
boring actively till the year 1791, when
Aaron C. Collins was installed as Collegiate
pastor, which lasted only for a short time
and was in no way fruitful of good.
About this time Dr. Johnes fractured his
thigh bone by a fall, which confined him for
months to his bed, and made him a cripple
for the remainder of his life. After more
than a year's confinement he was able to at-
tend public worship. Aided by one or two
of his elders he reached the desk where
seated on a high cushioned chair he would
occasionally address the people. In this
condition he preached in 1793, ^'s half cen-
tury sermon to a crowded assembly, who
cane from ^11 quarters to bear it. His text
was, " I have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course," etc., 2 Tim. 4; 6 — 8.
Of that review of his ministerial labors and
their results no trace is found. In the de-
livery of that discourse he manifested un-
usual animation, and in the closing prayer
he seemed to breathe out his whole soul in
fervent petition for the peace, prosperity and
salvation of his people. The service closed
by singing the 71st Psalm — "God of my
childhood and my youth," etc. In reading
the I st verse says an eye-witness. " his voice
began to falter and became tremulous. He
proceeded with much emotion, whilst the
tears trickled over his venerable cheeks,
and before he could utter the last line his
voice seemed to die away amidst the sobs
and tears of the whole assembly."
Seldom did he address his people after
this. In the following winter, as he was
riding to church on Sabbath morning his
sleigh was upset a short distance from his
house which broke his other thigh bone.
He was carried to his home and never left
it till he was removed by the hands of others
to the graveyard, where he had so often
stood, his body to repose in silence to the
resurrection morn. He died Sept. 15, 1794,
in the 78th year of his age, and 52d of his
pastorate and 54th of his ministry, and his
sepulchre is with us unto this day.
His tombstone bears the following in-
scription " as a Christian few ever discov-
ered more piety — as a minister few labored
longer, more zealously, or more successfully
than did this minister of Jesus Christ."
He received into communion with the
church over 500, baptized 2,827 persons and
married 948 couples.
As a people have we not reason to-day to
thank God for this church, and as a church
have we not reason to bless its great head
for such a pastor-*-so well suited to lead his
people to Christ — to preach the great doc-
trines of redeeming love, and to exemplify
in his life so much of what he recommended
to others — reason to be thankful for his
moulding influence — his strong Christian
character by which he guided the young
and the old in the ways of truth and right-
eousness;— and whilst we thus seek to re-
vere the memory of the departed and tell to
those who knew them not their virtues and
achievements, we desire in the acts to honor
not the mere instrument but God the agent.
To kim be all the gflory.

First Presbyterian Church, at Morris Town,
the 15th day of March, A.D., 1792.
Voted that Jonathan Dickerson serve as
Moderator; that Joseph Lewis serve as
Clerk.
A letter was presented by Silas Condit,
Esq., signed by Jacob Arnold, dated Feb. 25,
1792, On rnotion whether the said letter
shall be read, it passed in the affirmative, and
is in the words following : " Gent'n., I know
not who to direct to, but if I understand the
Subscription, the Subscriber is at liberty at
the end of every year to declare of from
Mr. Collins, if so the second year ends next
March ; I declare of from paying any fur-
ther Sallery to Mr. Collins as a preacher than
two years, and further : if his subsistance
as a preacher depends on the trustees to the
congregation, I declare off and mean to ap-
ply to the Presbytery to silence or discharge
said Collins from Morris Congregation as a

whether the Congregation approves of the
contents of said letter, it passed in the neg-
ative. On motion, it is resolved, that this
Congregation highly disapprove of the con-

HISTORICAL SERMON-No. 2.
By REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.
Preached Thanksgiving Day,
1862.
In our preceding discourse we traced the
history of this church till the death of Dr.
(ohnes, its first pastor in the year 1794, but
prior to this there were two important
movements which exerted a great influence
upon the after prosperity of this Zion ; the
one, the visit of Rev. James Richards, re-
sulting in his settlement ; the other, the
building of the edifice in which we now
worship. We have glanced at the exterior
and interior of the old building when en-
larged and improved in 1774 to meet the
growing necessities of the congregation,
but as the population of the township in-
creased that structure became too small, and
in an attempt to repair it in 1788, those who
had been agitating the subject of a new
building objected to the plan proposed.
Finding the opposition influential, the
trustees agreed to call a parish meeting
which convened in the church Ma3f 13, 1788;
there the congregation voted that repairs
be omitted and that Justice Lind^y, Major
Lindsly and Jos. Lewis be a committee to
e approval of Session.]
make an estimate of the expense of a church
to be built of timber, and that Deacon
Prudden and Justice Carmichael be a com-
mittee to make an estimate of the expense
of a brick church 65 feet long and 45 feet
broad, and that both estimates be laid before
the congregation on June 5th On that day
the congregation assembled, and after con-
sultation and debate the votes were taken,
when it was decided by a " considerable ma-
jority " that the house should be built of
timber. A committee was appointed " to
carry a subscription through the parish to
get a sufiicient sum for erecting a new meet-
ing house 65 feet long, 50 feet wide and 25
feet high to be enclosed with shingles."
This committee were successful and report-
ed to the Board of Trustees on the following
year, that " there was a sufficient sum sub-
scribed for enclosing a house of timber ac-
cording to the estimate heretofore made."
This was laid before the parish meeting
Dec. II, 1789. when Elder Philip Condict
and others opposed the whole movement,
alledging that the old house would do for a
number of years with some repairs, but to
this the majority would not listen, and it
was again voted that a new house should
be built after one year. Deacon Prudden
and those who sympathized with him were
still anxious for a brick structure, but were
a second time defeated by a large majority.
This subject occupied much of the
thoughts of the people in their social inter-
views, both as to the size, shape and loca-
tion of the building. Before the expiration
of the year the parish are assembled to talk
over the new enterprise, when the follow-
ing resolutions are passed :
"That the Committee of Directors pro-
ceed to provide materials for the new meet-
ing house as soon as convenient.
" That the house be built 70 feet long and
50 feet broad, with the privilege of adding to
I3«

or taking from any number of feet not ex-
ceeding five.
"That a committee of council be appoint-
ed to give further instructions to the Com-
mittee of Directors from time to time as
they may think proper, &c.
"That the said committees have leave to
apply to the Legislature for the privilege of
a lottery to raise a sum of money equal to
the expense ot building the new meeting
house."
If this application was ever niade it was
refused, as we hear no more about it.*
The meeting was held Oct. 8. 1790, and in
a memorandum book of one of the commit-
tee for the purchasing of materials, we have
the following entry : " Timber to be all
white oak, cut in old moon of Dec, Jan'y or
Feb'y, and delivered on the green by the
day of next, Nov. 1790." Then fol-
lows the prices of the posts, girts, plates,
beams, rafters. &c.
After various plans had been canvassed
the committee decided upon the one adopt-
ed— to have the building 75 feet long, 55
wide, the steeple 20 feet square, 9 of which
were taken from the main building, leaving
ing an audience room of 66 feet in length.
The work was commenced in the spring of
1791. The head carpenter was Major Jos-
eph Lindsly, assisted by Gilbert Allen, both
Elders in the church and men of great moral
worth and highly beloved by the congrega-
tion. The frame was raised on Sept. 20,
1791, and on several successive days. Some
200 men assisted in the work, from which
we may form some conception of the
amount of timber embraced in this noble
edifice, which says one, " for strength, sol-
idity and symmetry of proportion was not
excelled by any wooden building of that
day in New Jersey."
The first site selected for the building was
in the grave yard not far from the old
church ; this fact is gathered from an ac-
*We need not however be surprised at this resolution for
lotteries were at that time resorted to and for more than half
a century previous, to raise funds for particular objects both
personal and public. Thus we find in one year lotteries ad-
vertised in the New York papers for the following objects : to
build a parsonage at Elizabeth Town, another at Turkey,
(New Providence,) another at Hanover to buy a parsonage
house and land, another at Amwell to finish the Presbyterian
church, and another at Newark for completing the church,
and among the managers of this we find the name of Col.
Jacob Ford. In 1759 we find a scheme for making an addi-
tion to and repairing St. lohn's Church, Bli/..ibeth Town.

count book of that date, which has been
very much mutilated but in which is the
following entry :
" William Cherry, Cr.
By one days work done in the grave
yard towards the foundation where
the house was first ordered to be built, 5, o"
It was changed chiefly through the agency |
of Dr. Jabez Canfield, but why, I can find ^
no satisfactory reason ? The location has
never given satisfaction and several at-
tempts have been made to move the church
but without success, and it will no doubt
stand where it is until superceded by a new
house of worship.
It IS very difliicult to arrive at any defi-
nite conclusion respecting the cost of the
building from the diflFerent (and seemingly
conflicting) statements on the parish re-
cords. In Jan'y, 1792, it is " resolved, that
in order to discharge the debts contracted
on account of building said church and to
proceed further finishing the same that the
sum of _£i,2oo or $3,000 be raised this year
by subscription." More than two years after
this, a committee of 24 is appointed to go on
and finish the building and all that is paid
beyond the sums subscribed and received
shall be assessed on the pews when sold.
On January i, 1796, another committee is
chosen to make an equitable assessment on
the parishioners for the purpose of raising
^4,000. This subscription list we have seen
containing 394 names, and the total sum as-
sessed amounting to ^4.496, 8, ranging from
£S to i^ioo*; but several demurred to the
amount affixed to their names which had to
be lowered and several refused, and in twenty
cases I find that the assessment on the
property was too low and they were taxed
higher. The sums thus corrected fell ;^527
below the ^4,000 needed, so that this
method failed and the one finally adopted
was, after reserving certain seats, appraising
the remainder so as to yield $10,000; at that
time the estimated expense of the building
on which 5 per cent, was to be paid to meet
the minister's salary. On Nov. 26, 1795, the
congregation worshipped in this house for
the first time, though it was not until sev-
eral months afterwards that the whole was
completed. The pulpit was not finished and
furnished until sometime in 1796, when this
fell as in later times to the ladies who col-

lected from their own sex the sum of $125
" for the purpose," as their subscription
paper ran — "of dressing the pulpit, getting
curtains for the large windows of the meet-
ing house, a new funeral pall, and a gown
for the minister." In the following year the
walls were whitewashed and " the inside of
the church ordered to be a light blue."
Gradually the whole was finished at a cost
considerably over $10,000. We have heard
the sum stated at $12,000.
This for the times was a great undertak-
ing. Commenced soon after the close of
the protracted war with Great Britain when
taxes were heavy and must be paid ; when
the country was burdened with debt; paper
money the only currency : nearly every
farm mortgaged and when creditors ran
from their debtors, afraid of the Continental
money, when a silver dollar was scarcely
seen, and gold was if anything rarer — yet
steadily was the work prosecuted in the
midst of the most trying discouragements
while the willingness of the people to be
taxed nearly $10,000 for the purpose of de-
fraying the expenditure, shows a noble
spirit ; and the readiness with which so
many came forward — over 360 persons in all
to contribute to the undertaking.reveals -the
fact that more were willing to share and bear
the burdens of the sanctuary than at pres-
ent. The communicants at that time num-
bered but little more than half of the sub-
scribers as scarcely 40 pews were reserved
for sacramental days, and only the name of
one person now living is on that long list,
telling us of death's doings in 64 years, and
showing us how one generation goeth and
another cometh.
The house commenced in 1791 ; conse-
crated in 1795, completed in 1797 ; still
stands as firmly and compactly as when
first erected. Twice has it been struck with
lightning, oft has its lofty spire creaked in
the wintry blast, against it have the storms
of Heaven beat, but all have been in vain to
injure and destroy. It still points in all its
massive grandeur to Heaven, and though
the work of a former it may well be the
pride of the present generation, and should
be cherished by us as a spot hallowed by
the sweetest memories and as the grand
achievement of a noble ancestry.
Twice has it been renovated to corres-
pond with the demands of the age ; the first
time in 1841, when the floor was raised and
the ceiling lowered, the high backed and
square pews reduced in size, and other cor-
responding improvements at a cost of some
$3,000; the second time in 1859. when a
thorough alteration was made in both the
interior and exterior at an expense, of some
$6,000. The church can boast of three pul-
pits; the first small in size and high in po-
sition, remained till 1819. When the church
was thoroughly painted and cleaned at a
cost of $817, then the old pulpit was remov-
ed and given to the church at Newfound-
land, and another more modern in style was
built which cost nearly $300, and which was
enlarged by two new panels in 1841. The
present pulpit was erected last year at much
less expense than the former and is in every
way to be preferred.
The first pastor of the new church was
Rev. James Richards ; the old edifice which
stood 60 years and was taken down in 1797,
could boast of but one pastor — this of many;
both were built in troublous times and in
the midst of much that was oppressing ;
both were erected by men of a former gene-
ration ; both have been blessed to the good
of hundreds of souls, who are now in glory
and have been of incalculable benefit to this
region of country. Our fathers may have
wept when they saw their old shepherd re-
moved and the house in which he had so
long led them to the green pastures and the
still waters of the gospel ; some may have
wept when they thought of the glory of the
former in 1764 and 1774, the years of the
right hand of the Most High, but in this we
can truly say that " the glory of this latter
house is greater than the former."
The building of the new church was the
development of a new life and the introduc-
tion of a new order of things. The Revolu-
tionary war gave new views to the country,
higher conceptions of its. future which
brought the diflferent States into one grand
union, and under one and the same consti-
tution. This had a great influence upon
the different Christian organizations of the
land, making all in time independent of the
civil power and sweeping away every vestige
of colonial law that interfered with the re-
ligious rights of the people. Under the in-
fluence of this, hopeful progress and expan--

sion came to our ecclesiastical body, which
in 1786 determined to form a constitution
adapted to the state of the Presbyterian
church in America, to form four Synods and
a General Assembly composed of dele-
gates from the several Presbyteries, so that
whilst delegates from different States were
in session at Philadelphia framing a consti-
tution, ours was formed and being discussed
in the lower judicatories, and was adopted
and went into operation near the same
time as that of the United States.* With
something of this expansive feeling was our
own church building contemplated ; at first
in 1787 the old house 30x50 was good
enough, then a new structure 65x45 was
needed in 1788 which was enlarged to 65x50
in 1789, which grew to 70x50 in 1790. and
when the frame was raised in 1791 assumed
its present proportions 75x55.
As Dr. Johnes had come from Long Is-
land to mould and consolidate this church
in its infancy ; so from the same place came
Richards in its transition and formative
state with all the energies and vigor of
youth around it to direct its interest, con-
trol the energies of its members, guide their
impulses and lead their heaven born ten-
dencies to God and truth. Like Johnes he
was also of Welsh descent, and was born at
New Canaan, Ct., Oct. 29, 1767. In his
early years he suffered much from bodily
weakness, but gave at that same time great
evidence of fine intellectual powers. Rear-
ed in a Christian home, strong religious im-
pressions were made in the buddings of
youth upon his heart, which were never af-
terwards effaced. In his 19th j^ear he be-
came thoroughly awakened to his condition
as a sinner and soon afterwards publicly
consecrated himself to God, and united with
the Congregational church in Stanford.
The reigning desire of his heart was now to
live for God in the work of the ministry
and who opened, up a way for his young
servant to enter upon a preparatory course
of study, which though interrupted by se-
rious sickness was assiduously prosecuted
until his licensure in 1793 when he com-
•And here we may remark on the authority of Chief Jus-
tice Tilghman that in determining the structure of our national
government the framers of the United States constitution bor-
rowed very much of the form of our republic from that form
of church government found in the constitution of the Presby-
terian church of Scotland.
menced the active duties of the ministry ;
first laboring at Ballston, N. Y., and then
supplying two small congregations pn
Long Island.
Soon after the dismissal of Mr. Collins, a
parish meeting was called for the especial
purpose of consultation, prayer and inquir}-^
as to the best mode of supplying the pulpit,
which resulted in the appointment of a dis-
creet and influential member of the church
to take such measures as his judgment
would approve to obtain a suitable pastor
for the church. In the discharge of their
trust he was led to consult several ministers
and was finally led to Dr. Buel, the early
and constant friend of Dr. Johnes and his
college companion, who directed him to
young Richards then laboring in the adjoin-
ing parish, who listened on th§ Sabbath to
his pulpit ministrations and with which the
commissioner was so well satisfied that he
invited him to visit Morristown, which he
did, bringing with him the highest testimo-
nials from Dr. Buel who was weil known to
the congregation, and who wrote : " the
man who on a thorough acquaintance with
James Richards does not love him, cannot
himself be deserving the love of any man."
He not only preached to the people with
great satisfaction but also to the aged pastor
in his own dwelling that he might judge of
his fitness, and to both with such acceptance,
that on the 21st of July, 1794, a call was
made and put in to his hands the same day,
in which he was to receive $440 salary in
quarterly payments, the use of the parson-
age and fire wood. This was in due time ac-
cepted by him, and on the istof May, 1795,*
he was ordained and installed pastor of the
church by the Presbytery of New York.
Dr. McWhorter, of Newark, preached the
ordination sermon from Acts' 20:24. Dr.
Rogers, of New York, presided ; Mr. Aus-
tin, of Elizabeth gave the charge to the
people.
{To be continued. )
*The two following facts are of interest in connection with
this date : George O'Hara advertised that his stage would
commence running from Morristown to Powlcs Hook (Jersey
City), on first Monday of April, 1795, twice a week for 9
shillings, and one penny a pound for all baggage above 7 lbs.,
way passengers 4 d a mile. Morristown post oflRce was the
only one in the county in 1793. In it letters were advertised
for persons at Bedminister, Mendham, Baskingridge, Bottle
Hill (Madison), New Market, FLinders, Hanover, Bound
Brook, Franklin, Mt. Hope. Pompton, Ramapaugh.

TRUSTEES' BOOK.
At a meeting of the Trustees at the house
of George O'Hara, the 28th Jan'y, 1793,
the President, Mr. Lindsley. Mr. Mills, Mr.
Ogden, and Benjamin Pierson attended in
consequence of his being elected — who, be-
ing duly sworn and subscribed the oath as
the Law directs took his seat in the board.
Joseph Munson applied for a piece adjoin-
ing the lands of Sam'l Morrison and James
Pitney. Voted. Mr. Munson shall have the
Refusal of a building spot at sixty pounds
per acre. Mr. Munson, satisfied with the
conditions, a committee consisting of Mr.
Condit and Mr. Mills be appointed to survey
sd. land and make out a Deed.
At a parish meeting held at the meeting
house, 2nd Sept., 1793,
Resolved that the confession made by the
Rev'd. Aaron C. Collins before the associ-
ation, be read.
Whereas, the Rev. Mr. Collins has re-
quested to be discharged from this Church
and congregation as their pastor, and at the
same time submitted to them to fix the
period when his salary should terminate,
and the church and Congregation having
maturely considered the same. Resolved
that they agree to his proposition for a
separation from him as their pastor. Re-
solved, that the Trustees take charge of the
parsonage & that they settle with Mr. Col-
lins with respect to that part thereof which
contains the nursery of mulbery trees agree-
able to justice at their discretion. Resolved,
that Silas Condit, Jacob Arnold, Caleb
Russell, Gilbert Ailing, Joseph Prudden,
Benj. Lindsley, Jonas Phillips, Jonathan
Stiles, Joseph Lewis, Matthias Crain, Dr.
Wm. Campfield & Timothy Johnes, Jr., be a
committee to ascertain and settle with Mr,
Collins the arrears of salary that may be
due to him.
Resolved, that the Deacons & Elders of
this church be a committee for supplying
the pulpit — that the said committee be au-
thorized to employ any person dul}"^ quali-
fied to preach the Gospel whether as Sup-
plies or Candidates for any time not more
than three months, & in order that such
service be duly rewarded, the said Commit-
tee are directed to prepare and present a
subscription to the parishioners of this Con-
gregation for the purpose of raising the
sum of one hundred pounds or there abouts
to be appropriated for the payment of such
supplies or Candidates, including the service
already performed by the Rev. Mr. Baldwin,
& if the sum so raised should not be all ex-
pended as above directed previous to the
settlement of another minister in this Con-
gregation— that such remaining sum shall
be disposed of as the Congregation shall
hereafter direct, & the sd. Comniittee are
directed to keep an accurate account of
their receipts and disbursements & lay the
same before the Congregation whenever
thereunto required, and, whereas it becomes
us as professing Christians always to take
notes of & wisely improve the dispensations
of Divine Providence & as it is abundantly
evident that God is now frowning on us as
a Congregation, not only in permitting our
pastor to conduct unbecoming his character
and profession, but also in suspending
those divine influences which are absolutely
necessary to the being & continuance of
Christian Love and Unity, the lamentable
consequences of which obviously appear
in the recent divisions & animosities that
take place among us, with this view of
our situation and in the same measure sensi-
ble of our guilt and vileness, our lukewarm-
ness, sloth & want of Zeal in the cause of
Religion, and of the justice of God in his
dealings with us. and of our entire depen-
dence on him for every degree of grace,
wisdom and prudence; we think it proper
and do agree to set apart the day of
this as a day of humiliation, fasting
and pra5'^er to Almighty God that he would
P9ur out his Spirit upon us and grant us
that penitent & forgiving temper of mind
that may dispose us to peace and union and
that he would direct us in the path of duty
in our future endeavours for the settlement
of the ministry and perpetuating the Ordi-
nances of the Gospel among us.

HISTORICAL SERMON— No. 2.
By REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.
Between the period of his call and his in-
duction into the pastoral office, the aged
and faithful shepherd was gathered to his
fathers — his last hours cheered with the
thought of his flock again united under one
whom Providence had sent to heal the
breaches occasioned by the misconduct of
Mr. Collins. "The unanimity and cordiality
in the settlement of Mr. Richards was as
the balm of Gilead to his wounded spirit."
Mr. Richards was paid for his services as a
supply till September 12th, when his salarj'^
commenced, and from that time to this, this
has been the close of the fiscal year of the
parish.
This congregation was at that time the
largest and most influential in the whole of
this region. It had outgrown in strength
the mother and the younger members of
the same family ; so that it was a post of
great responsibility to the young licentiate,
and owing to its peculiar state, one requir-
ing great tact, prudence and discretion, but
he proved himself equal to the task and
more than met the expectations of the flock.
(Printed luith the approval of Session.)
In alluding to the state of things, at his
settlement in a letter to Dr. Condict in 1840.
he says : " your fathers differ greatly in
opinion and for a time were strongly op-
posed to each other in feeling, but they
judged it best not to divide but to make
sacrifices and endeavor to harmonize ; their
endeavors were successful ; they were har-
monized ; peace and brotherly love became
the order of the day and with some slight
exceptions have marked the course of things
in the congregation for almost half a cen-
tury," Whilst thus seeking to unite the
people to each other, he was instant in sea-
son and out of season in striving to make
them better acquainted with the Lord Jesus,
He was abundant in labors. " I had," says
he, " the sick and afflicted to visit, the dead
to bury, the wandering to look after, the
captious and uneasy to soothe, besides
schools to catechise, and lectures to preach
and prayer meetings to attend ; altogether
creating a vast amount of labor, indepen-
dent of regular family visitations and pre-
paring for the pulpit." Besides these he
had social calls to make and receive, and
duties at times outside of his congregation
to occupy his attention and time, but in his
movements among his people and especially
among the more spiritual and devoted, he
sought to derive instruction and subjects
for his pulpit ministrations. The doctrinal.
practical and experimental were thus
blended both to his own and the profit of
those who listened to his preaching. Im-
mediate fruits among the impenitent were
not so perceptible as among the members
of the church. Harmony with each other
was more speedily seen than harmony be-*
tween the wicked and God. Only three
were added to the communion of the church
during the first two years of his ministry,
but in the two following years God poured
his spirit upon his labors and 75 were added.
146
THE RECORD.
This revival occurred in the spring of 1797,
and took the congregation by surprise ; few
were looking for it and when it came the
members evidently were unprepared for such
manifestations of divine favor. As the result
of this awakening about 100 united in this
and the succeeding year ; of the fruits of
that revival but two remain, Phebe Burnet,
widow of John Burnet, and Lewis Mills, the
one received on March 5th, 1797, and the
other May ist, 1797. Once and again did
God manifest his revival power during his
pastorate, comforting and strengthening
saints and bringing many aliens into the
family of heaven. Whilst thus blessed at
home, and highly revered by his people, his
influence over the surrounding congrega-
tions was great, as well as extending over
the church at large. In the year 1801
he received the degree of Master of Arts
from Princeton College, and in 1805, at the
age of 37, was chosen Moderator of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church. We can find no trace of anything
published by him whilst here, but in 1816 he
preached in this church a discourse entitled
" This world is not our rest," which was
afterwards printed. He was ever ready to
assist others by ministerial labor and sought
in this way to extend the Kingdom of the
Messiah. One plan pursued by him and
some of his brethren was to meet together
in private or in school houses, in places lying
between their churches and hold union
meetings in some afternoon of the week,
which were occasions of interest to the
people and a means of mutual profit; an-
other plan adopted in his day and for years
afterwards was with some other minister to
make preaching tours among the mountains
or sparsely settled regions, now occupied
by the Presbyteries of Passaic, Rockaway
and Newton, and there proclaim Christ and
him crucified to many destitute families or
feeble struggling churches. In one of these
excursions he met Dr. Griffin and spent the
night with him in pleasant and profitable
conversation. Part of this conference is
detailed by Dr. Stearns, in which matters
experimental and doctrinal are discussed,
and doubts proposed and dissipated. On
the atonement. Griffin unburdened his heart
and spoke of his difficulty in apprehending
Christ as a proper substitute, whereupon
Richards disclosed to hira a distressing con-
flict which he had formerly upon that point
and which was quieted by a transporting
view of Heb. 7 : 26, " For such an high priest
became us who is holy, harmless, undefiled,
separate from sinners and made higher than
the Heavens." At this the agitation of Grif-
fin's mind became relieved and he fell asleep,
"when I awoke," he adds, "that same glori-
ous High Priest was before me, just as he is
expressed in Heb. 7 : 26." The influence
upon the character of such men by these
conversations and the influence of labors
such as they put forth beyond the limits of
their own charges for the spiritual well be-
ing of others, eternity only can disclose.
Their flocks were willing to be unsupplied
an occasional Sabbath that their pastors
might break the bread of life to those de-
prived of the stated means of grace, and
they did not suffer in consequence. " They
that water shall themselves be watered."
Revivals here and there have been traced
to these self denying but pleasant labors.
The old church building was vacated in
Nov. 1795. and was soon afterwards taken
down and sold in lots. And as truth must
be spoken a large part of it was converted
into a distillery and cider mill, and which,
in Water street, did their work of mischief
in those times of ignorance for many years.
That church in which the sainted Johnes so
long preached, where Drs. Buel, of Long
Island, and Rogers of New York, and Mc-
Whorter of Newark, proclaimed the words
of life : where the voice of Green, and Dar-
by, and Elmer, and Caldwell, and others was
occasionally heard warning men of sin and
pleading with them to be reconciled to God;
those walls that echoed back the praises of
those, now ac rest, and everything about it
hallowed with the most joyous remem-
brances ; where sweet communion with the
unseen was enjoyed, and solemn vows made;
that building converted to such an use must
have been trying to those who had been
blessed in the privileges there possessed
and who were attached to it by the
sweetest and holiest memories.
The new edifice was first occupied on Nov.
26, 1795, ^^^ sermon preached by Mr. Rich-
ards, but from what text I have not been
able to discover. On the i8th of Feb. 1796,
the seats of the new church were sold and
THE RECORD.
H7
the old plan of rating and collecting was
discontinued ; several of the pews on
the first floor were large square pews,
and were appraised considerably higher than
the single pews, (four of them at ^120 each),
the number of the pews in the main audi-
ence room was loi ; in the gallery 57. The
number of the pews since the alteration is
126 in the former and 57 in the latter besides
the reserved seats for the choir. The prin-
cipal seats in the body of the church ranged
in value from $70 to $87, on which 5 per
cent, was assessed to meet the current ex-
penses of the congregation ; 8 pews were
reserved for the poor and some for the deaf.
The number purchasing or renting pews or
parts of pews was 158, who paid the sum of
$533-35' The expenses of 1797 were for
" salary $440, sweeping the church $15, sex-
ton $15, cake for wood cutters $19, printing
$2, cyder $5.62." The salary continued the
same till 1804, when it was increased to
$565, with certain privileges, the current
expenses for that year were $605.
Among matters of note and that peculiarly
belong to the annals of the church we may
mention the spinning and wood frolicks, as
they were called. The spinning visit was
collecting together the various amounts of
linen, thread, yarn, and cloth, proportioned
to the "gude" wife's ability or generosity.
The thread was woven into cloth for the use
and comfort of the pastor and his family,
and as it was not always of the same tex-
ture and size, it sometimes puzzled the
weaver to make the cloth and finish it alike.
The wood frolick • brought together the
greater part of the congregation, the ladies
preparing supper at the parsonage, which
was heartily enjoyed by those who were
busy during the day in bringing together
the years supply of fuel for their minister,
which averaged about 40 cords. We find
the amounts expended by the parish
for these frolicks in 1797, to be for cake
and cider, $25.62 ; 1798, bread and beef,
$18.94; in 1799, I cwt. of flour and 200 lbs.
of beef, S10.83. Besides these remuner-
ative tokens, his own heart was oft re-
freshed and his family benefitted, by numer-
ous acts of kindness performed by his peo-
ple.
During his ministry here, politics largely
agitated the public mind, and as in later
times sectional animosity was bitter if not
unscrupulous. As an instance of this in our
own State we find that Thomas Paine, a
strong partisan of Jefferson, wished to ride
in the public stage from Trenton to New
York, but the proprietors of both stages
were Federalists and refused with strong
oaths to give a seat to an infidel. If not
carried to such an extreme in this region,
parties were as decided, zealous, and preju-
diced as in any other part of the State, and
were as jealous of pulpit interference as at
the present day ; hence its utterances were
watched and faithfully scanned on fast days
or occasions on which allusion was in any
way made to public men or matters of State.
On one of the fast days held during the ad-
ministration of John Adams, a sermon suited
to the times was preached by Mr. R., with
which but little if any fault was found by
the congregation. A few years later, Mr.
R. preached again pn a similar occasion,
during Mr. Jefferson's administration, which
gave great offence to one of the political
parties as seemingly reflecting upon their
men and measures. Sectional feeling was
at once aroused and could only be allayed
by some of the leaders waiting upon Mr. R.,
acquainting him with the facts and if need be
require a retraction. The committee called
upon the preacher ; to their statements and
grievances he politely listened, when he re-
plied that they had approved of all that he
had said. This they denied, he then told
them that owing to a pressure of other mat-
ters upon him, he was unable to prepare a
sermon, he therefore found that upon a
perusal of the discourse preached a few
years previous, that it was well suited to the
present times ; with it then no fault was
found, but commendation was bestowed
upon it, he had therefore repeated it as it
was written and this was the only thing
which they could blame. They saw
the MS. and knew that it was the old sdr-
mon. Perceiving that they were caught,
the committee soon retired and the matter
was at once hushed. Here as elsewhere
Mr. Richards showed that discretion and
tact for which he was famed, a prudence
that characterized all his movements among
this people and that made him a Wise coun-
sellor, a strong leader, a faithful pastor and
a true friend, so that he was regarded a
t48
THE RECORD.
model minister, throughout this region
and the church at large.
Except some slight friction in his pastor-
ate, like the one alluded to, Mr. R. lived in
the affections of his people, they treated him
with respect and esteemed him highly for
his work's sake. His charge was laborious
but pleasant, of the relation in after years,
he thus speaks : " Never was a minister
more happy with his people than I with mine
during the 1 5 years I spent among you. I can
truly say that if there be a spot on earth
to which my mind turns with more than
ordinary affection it is that where I was or-
dained to the work of the gospel ministry."
Of one thing he felt that he had ground to
complain, and that was of an inadequate
support. His salary as we have seen was
$440 per annum, with certain perquisites.
Immediately on his marriage he purchased a
lotof the church in South street, consisting
of half an acre for $300, on which he erected
the house now occupied by Mr. George
King, afterwards he purchased i 1-2 acres
for $200 and enlarged the grounds attached
to it. Some of the congregation lent him
money, which he paid when convenient.
His salary was increased in 1804 to $565 per
annum. But this w^as inadequate to meet
the growing necessities of his family. For
a time he kept boarders, which added large-
ly to his cares and against which some of
his warm friends demurred. To relieve him
of this burden and pay him a salary more
in proportion to the ability of the congre-
gation and his just claims a parish meeting
was called in 1808. To this measure some
were opposed, as they could not see why
the minister could not live on his salary,
which was more than many received ; others
were in favor of the movement, but thought
It was ill-timed. These two combined car-
ried their motion for delay over those who
were anxious for immediate action. The
matter was postponed till the next parish
meeting ; they met, talked and separated
without coming to any result. Again they
met and did the same. This was a severe
trial to the pastor and preyed upon his
mind. But rising above the trials and the
mortification attached to it, he devoted
himself with greater energy to his work,
believing that God would make all things
plain. Thus laboring, an application was
made to him to become the successor of
Dr. Griffin, as pastor of the First Church
of Newark. This call, after a painful con-
flict, he accepted. When it was too late the
congregation increased his salary to $1,000,
yet hoping that it might with other con-
siderations brought before him, so influence
his action as to make it favorable to his re-
maining. Two formal memorials were ad-
dressed to him, one sent from a meeting of
71 ladies, which did honor to both pastor
and people, but all were unavailing, he had
gone too far to draw back, yet he was heard
to say that had he known in time the
strength and tenderness of affection of his
people, he would never have accepted the
call. At the spring meeting of the Presby-
tery, 1809, his pastoral relation with this
congregation was dissolved, when he im-
mediately entered upon his new field of
labor. Mr. Richard's ministry here continued
nearly 14 years. During that time there
were admitted to the communion of the
church on examination, 214 ; and on certifi-
cate, 29; baptisms, 444. Of these and now
living members of this church, are only
Phebe Burnet, Lewis Mills, Catharine, widow
of David Mills, Silas Johnson, Rhoda, widow
of Simeon Cory, Rebecca Beers, wife of
Wm. Enslee, and Phebe Mills, widow of D.C.

fice at the time of his installation were Gil- .
bert Allen, Joseph Lindsley, Philip Condict,
Jonas Phillips, Caleb Munson, Philip
Lindsl3\ Ezra Halsey, Isaac Prudden, Sam-
uel Freeman, Jesse Cutler, Matthias Crane,
Joseph Pruden. These were reduced in
1805 to seven, when the bench of elders was
increased by the ordination of Henry Vail,
David Lindsly, Zophar Freeman, James
Stephenson, Sept. 11, 1805. These have all
gone, reunited no doubt to their beloved
pastors, Johnes and Richards, in the realms
of purity. Of the number of communicants
at his installation we cannot learn from the
manner in which the books were kept, three
months after his departure, a new roll was
made and there were 298 in full communion.
Mr. Richards was dismissed by Presby-
tery April 26, 1809 ; moved to Newark May
17th. Soon after this Mr. Fisher was in-
vited to preach as a candidate, having
a short time before been introduced to the
people by Mr. Richards, which he did with
such acceptance that on the 29th of May,
an unanimous call was presented to him by
the congregation which he accepted and
was installed pastor Aug. 9th, 1809.

HISTORICAL SERMON-No. 2.
By REV. DAVID IRVING. D.D.
Jonathan Fisher who held a commission
of Lieutenant in the Revolutionary army,
was taken sick in the performance of his
duties and died of camp fever in this town
in March, 1777, and three months before the
birth of Samuel Fisher, the successor of
Mr. Richards. His remains are entombed
in the grave yard. He was a man of ardent
piety and his last moments were spent in
prayer for his family and his country. Of
his four sons thres became ministers of the
gospel. Mr. Fisher was born in Sunderland,
Mass., June 30, 1777, received his collegiate
education at Williams College, graduated in
1799, and was appointed tutor, which office
he filled for some time. (His first public
performance was delivering an eulogy on
George Washington, Jan. 8th, 1800. A few
days after his predecessor, Mr. R., delivered
a sermon and eulogy on the same in this
church.) Mr. Fisher was ordained to the
ministry Nov. i, 1805, and was settled over
the Congregational Church of Wilton, Con-
necticut, when he was called to this church
(Printed with the approval of Session.)
Presbytery of New York, which was divided
in Nov. of the same year into two Presby-
teries, the one retaining the old name and
the other known as the Presbytery of Jersey;
the first meeting of this new Presbytery was
held in this church, April 24, 1810.
The salary promised to Mr. Fisher in the
call was $1,000. The pew rents according
to the old assessment yielded only $566. A
vote was passed by the parish that the
trustees should assess the deficiency in pro-
portion to the original appraisal, which was
rescinded at the next meeting. The fund
owned by the church at this time was nearly
$6,000, besides real estate in town lots and
wood land which were occasionally sold to
meet current expenses, until all disappeared,
so that the church owns now no property
to trouble and restrain our liberality, and
thanks to an overruling Providence and the
short sighted policy of our fathers, we have
nothing but the parsonage house and lot
and the grave yard to keep in repair. As
the funds dwindled away the assessment
had to be increased to meet the deficiencies
until it is now more than treble the amount
imposed at the first sale of the pews, yet not
as high as upon pews in other churches of
the same size throughout our country.
Mr. Fisher was a man of fervent piety,
untiring industry, and of strong practical
sense. There was a directness in his efforts
that did not always win the active co-oper-
ation of those who differed from him. His
aim was to do good to the souls of men and
bring them under the control of the noblest
principles. In the first year of his pastor-
ate seven were received into the church on
profession and eleven by certificate ; in 181 3,
twenty-four were admitted to sealing ordi-
nances on confession and nine by letter.
In October, 1812, he reported to Presbytery
as already stated and installed pastor by the 1 a membership of 325. and in 1813, 346. Dur-

THE RECORD.
ing the yeSafs i8ii-'i2he took a census of
the village and township, and found the
number df males to be 466, females 511,
blacks 134 — tdtal 1,111. Inhabitants out of
the village, males i,oi8, females 1,020, blacks
68 — total, 2,106, in all 3,217. Number of

Political excitement was very high during
the latter part of his ministry ; he was a de-
cided federalist, while the larger part of his
congregation belonged to the opposite
party, who watched for an unwise word in
sermons and in prayers. Umbrage was
taken to two discourses preached in 1812,
as censuring those in authority, introducing
political discussion into the pulpit, and
stirring up strife without profit. To show
the groundlessness of the charge, he print-
ed the sermons, together with an address,
in which he vindicates his course and nobly
defends himself against certain unrighteous
assaults. Says he, " when called to bear
testimony against vice, in any shape or form
whatever — no frowns,no flatteries, no prom-
ises nor threatenings shall ever deter me.
Earth and hell combined shall never silence
my voice till it is silenced in death." He
then meets the accusation that he was an
enemy to his country, and that he was
haughty and imperious, and of feeling above
the congregation. Both were unjust as he
feelingly and ably declared, but it is only
another evidence of what party spirit and
prejudice will seize upon in times of great
political excitement to injure one who oc-
cupies a prominent position in his honest
differences from them. There is nothing in
them of a partizan character, though he
does not spare the infidel, the vicious, the
Sabbath breaker, the profane swearer, the
gambler, the intemperate, the duelist, the
murderer who are in the National Coun-
cil, who walk with impugnity the floor
of Congress and who are seated on the
bench of justice ; whilst thus condemned
by one part of his congregation for any allu-
sion to national topics, he was upheld by the
mass of his people in all his ministerial du-
ties, and over such his influence and preach-
ing were not in vain. His congregation was
very large, covering a large territory and
embracing 500 families, and though all did
not attend the sanctuary, yet in case of mar-
riages and deaths these families wished to
be considered as under his pastoral charge.
These, together with twenty-seven families
of other denominations, he visited during his
pastorate. He was a laborious minister and
was active in everything that promoted
the well-being of his people and the
prosperity of the town, but all was in vain
to allay the opposition against him, and
finding that this crippled his usefulness,
he sought in the early part of 1814 a
dissolution of his pastoral relation. At a
parish meeting held on Feb. 15, the follow-
ing question was put to the house: " Does
this congregation wish their minister to
join with them requesting Presbytery to
dismiss him from his present charge ?" It
was decided in the negative by 19 majority'.
He applied however to Presbytery for a dis-
solution of the relation and was dismissed
by that body on April 27, 1814. The last
persori received into the communion of the
church was an aged woman, who had 37
years before attended his father in his last
illness.
From his private records we have the fol-
lowing items : value of presents received
during his pastorate from his people, $917.37;
marriages 86, marriage fees, $276. lo ; deaths
from Sept, 5, 1809 to May i, 1814, 279.
There were added to the church in the same
time 65 on profession and 32 by certificate.
In 1812. Stephen Young, Jacob Pierson,
Lewis Mills, Peter A. Johnson and Frances
Johnes, were ordained and added to the
bench of Elders, and here I may record it as
a singular fact that only one of the ninety-
seven admitted to the church under Mr.
Fisher's ministry is at present connected
with it.
The congregation was supplied by
Messrs. Chandler, How, Gildersleeve, Clark,
Condit, McDowell from the beginning of
May till the coming of the latter in Octo-
ber, the society having on Sept. 29, 1814,
made out a call to Mr. McDowell.
Wm. A. McDowell, was born at Laming-
ton, N. J., in May 1789; received part of his
classical education at Elizabethtown, where
he was taught by Mr. Henry Mills, a son of
this church and afterwards professor in the
Theological Seminary, Auburn ; graduated
THE RECORD.
'55
in Princeton College in 1809, and became a
tutor in the same the following year ;
studying Theology under the direction of
the President of the college, Dr. Samuel
Stanhope Smith. Owing to failure of health
he had for a season to abandon his studies
but resumed them in 1812, when he entered
the Theological Seminary of Princeton and
was a member of its first class. On the fol-
lowing year he was licensed by the Presby-
tery of New Brunswick, and ordained and
installed pastor of the church of Bound
Brook by the same, on Dec. 22, 181 5. This
relation was dissolved on the ensuing Oc-
tober and on the 13th of December, he was
inducted into the pastoral office here by
the Presbytery of Jersey. His ministry
was from the first characterized by great
acceptableness and usefulness. He was a
faithful pastor, entering largely into the
suflFerings of his people and was full of ten-
derness and sympathy. His sermons were
simple, rich in Evangelical instruction and
delivered with fervor and unction. He was
diligent in family visitation and in dealing
with the consciences of his people. God
soon set the seal of his approval upon his
labors, and ere the first year of his pastorate
closed 42 united with the church on con-
fession. The first indication of God's con-
verting presence was in his weekly Bible
class from which a large number were sav-
ingly brought to a knowledge of Jesus. On
the following year a still larger number
swelled the communion roll, and his heart
was often cheered by seeing one and an-
other coming out from the world and ally-
ing themselves with the cause of Christ. A
blessing to his people they in turn did not
forget him, but remembered his wants and
cheered his heart and home by memorials
of their regard. Among such evidences we
have the following resolutions passed at a
parish meeting Sept. 1816: Resolved, that
the Trustees be instructed to inquire
whether the salary of our minister for the
last year has been sufficient for his support
and make report to some future meeting.
On the report of the Trustees they were
empowered by the meeting to present to
the pastor in addition to his salary for the
past year the sum of $250 — and here I
w^Ould say that among all the charges
"brought against this people, a lack of gen-
erous support to the pastor has never
reached my ear.
At the meeting to which 1 have already
referred it was also voted that the sexton's
salary should be increased toS6o per annum,
and that he should be denied the privilege
of pasturing cattle of any kind in the grave-
yard. On Jan'y i, 1816, the society through
its Trustees sold to certain parties chiefly
belonging to the congregation for the sum
of $1,500 all of that part of the parish land
called Morristown Green to remain as a
common forever, subject to certain restric-
tions and exceptions ; two of which were as
far as we are concerned the building of a
lecture room and a church ; as the former
has been located, thelatter is a right which
belongs to us and which we may be called
upon to excise at some future period.
Permission was also given to the Trustees
and others who would assist them to build
a lecture room, which was completed in
1819 under the management and supervi-
sion of Mr. John Mills, who took much in-
terest in the work, and who expended in its
completion more than was subscribed ; the
balance was afterwards paid him. About
the same time the church was thoroughly
cleaned and painted at an expense of $817.
The Trustees were also requested to employ
a chorister at such salary as can be agreed
on, not to exceed $50.
In i8i6, a Sabbath school in connection
with this church was established. Before
this a few active friends met on Sabbath to
instruct the colored people, which may be
considered as the first movement in this
section of planting that institution which
God has so much honored and blessed to
both teacher and scholar. This school was
first under the superintendance of one or
two devoted ladies assisted by an efficient
corps of teachers, among whom I find the
names of Mills, Condit, Johnson, Johnes.
Schenck. etc., all ladies. Several of whom
are with us unto this day and some have
fallen asleep.
Whilst 1820 and '21 were years of compar-
ative drought, God again remembered his
heritage and appeared, in a most glorious
manner. Yea in a way that he had never
done before. The whole congregation was
moved in the spring of 1822 ; the church
became crowded to overflowing a^drbenches
156
THE RECORD.
were brought in to accommodate the peo-
ple. At one communion nearly loo were
added to the church, from the aged sire to
the youth of fourteen ; thirty were baptized,
the scene was overwhelming, few re-
frained from tears. A Scotch clergyman
who was present, said afterwards to the pas-
tor, " Ah my brother, I stood it very, very
well, until I saw your youthful hand come
down on the bald head of that old man and
then I could refrain no longer but burst
into tears." As the fruits of this revival
there were received in 1822-3 over 160.
Whilst abundant in labors, serious inroads
began at length to be made upon the pas-
tor's health. At the age of twelve he had
suffered severely from small pox, and from
that time never was robust and vigorous ;
but in the fall of 1822 he was threatened
with a pulmonary complaint, so that he was
obliged to go South and spend the winter
at Charleston. He returned in the spring
much improved, but soon his strength fail-
ed. At this juncture a call came to him from
the Presbyterian church of Charleston, S.C.,
and being benefitted by his former sojourn
there he felt it a duty to ask for a dissolution
of the pastoral relation which was reluctantly
granted and a very feeling and touching
address was presented to him by the con-
gregation. On the 8th of October, 1823, he
ceased to be pastor, but his love for his
charge did not here end. This was a place
dear to his heart, and in his last sickness he
came back to place himself under the care
of Dr. Johnes, his former physician, and in
whom he had special confidence ; but he had
only been here a few days when he breathed
his last on the 17th of September, 1851.
Under his ministry the church was more
highly blessed than under any of its pastors,
if we regard the additions that were made
to its strength. During his pastorate of
nearly nine years, 271 were admitted on pro-
fession of their faith and 46 by letter, 317 in
all. There were no elders ordained during
his ministry, but of those afterwards set
apart to that office were five, who joined the
church under his ministry.
Besides the improvement and changes
in the edifice already referred to, we may
mention the introduction of stoves and
lamps in 1822. The former innovation was
very much resisted by a few as leading to
effeminacy. Their fathers and mothers had
faithfully attended the sanctuary without
any such comforts, being satisfied with the
smell of fire from the foot stoves. One
good man affirmed that they had always
trusted Providence for keeping warm and
should do so still ; opposition was slight
however and stoves and lamps were soon
fixtures in the church, at an expense of
$254. Previous to this when the church
was lighted, which was but seldom, it v/as
done by candles taken by different members
of the congregation. Opposition to stoves
was on a par with the repugnance of many
to insuring the church, which was deemed
a wanton disregard of God's Providence and
an act that boded no good. These wood
stoves continued till 1835, when they were
found insufficient for warming the building ;
coal stoves were then substituted and were
used until the furnaces were introduced.
The lamps remained until 1842, when others
were purchased sufficient to give a fine light
over the whole church. These were ren-
dered useless by the introduction of gas.
We have nowgrouped together the leading
characteristics and acts of the first four pas-
tors of this church — Johnes. Richards, Fisher
and McDowell. We have seen the blessings
that attended their labors and their influ-
ence upon this community, during their
pastorate of nearly 80 years, but they have
finished their earthly course ; first Johnes
went up,then Richards, then McDowell and
lastly Fisher. Before them and after them
came one and another whom they knew
here and who constitute their joy and
crown of rejoicing ; of the 424 added to
the church by Johnes, all have died. Few,
very few remain of the ingathcrirjgs of
Richards and Fisher, and the member
that tarry with us of those brought to
Christ under McDowell, is rapidly dimin-
ishing. A few years more and the last
will be gathered of the 974, that pro-
fessed their faith in Christ under their
united pastorate. Still their influence upon
this church and community will never die.
May we who remain be not slothful but fol-
lowers of them who through faith and pa-
tience inherit the promises.
We are now brought with one excep-
tion to consider a living ministry and your
patience, with the time already expended
require that on these I should dwell briefly
and a further reason is that some of you are
better acquainted with them than I am.

THE RECORD.

TRUSTEES' BOOK.
At a meeting of the congregation of the
first presbyterian Church of Morris-Town
for the purpose of determining whether they
should give Mr, James Richards a call to
become the pasture of this parrish, or to
invite him to preach here a longer time
upon tryal, and also for the purpose of en-
tering into some resolution respecting the
compleating the new meeting house, and for
other purposes held July 21st, 1794.
After singing a psalm and prayer by Dea-
con Ailing, the congregation appointed as
moderator Deacon Ailing ; Tobias Bodinot
& Mahlon Dickerson, Clerk.
It being moved a pole should be taken in
voting for Mr. Richards, a pole was accord-
ingly taken by which it was agreed that a
call should be preferred to him to become
the pasture of this parish, one hundred and
forty-two votes being taken for the call and
two for inviting him to preach here a longer
time upon tryal. Voted that presbytery be
requested to write to the congregation of
Sagg harbour on Long Island to solicit
them to relinquish a part of the time which
Mr. Richards is engaged to them, in order
that he may return the sooner to this place.
Voted that the sum of four hundred and
forty dollars a year be paid to Mr. Richards
in regular quarterly payments, that he have
the use of the Parsonage, belonging to this
Parish (except a small part planted with a
nursery of mulberry trees before Col. De-
Hart's door) and to be found fire wood so
soon as he shall keep house, while he shall
continue to do the duty of a preacher of this
congregation.
Voted that Mr. Richards be supported in
this congregation by a tax to be raised by
an obligation for that purpose in the words
following, viz :
Whereas on the 21st day of July, 1794, at
a Parish meeting of the first presbyterian
Church and congregation in Morris-Town
duly noticed for that purpose, it was voted
that a call be prefered to Mr. James Rich-
ards to take on him the pastoral charge of
the said Church and congregation, and that
as a compensation during the time, that he
continue to do the duties of his office as a
minister or pasture to the said congregation
he shall be paid at the rate of four hundred
and forty dollars per annum in quarterly
payments, with the use of the parsonage
lands near the meeting house, excepting the
small lot that contains the nursery of mul-
berry trees, and it being also voted that the
said sallary should be raised and levied by
the parishioners by way of tax as the law
directs the state taxes to be raised, except-
ing that four assistants or supervisors an-
nually chosen to assist the assessor whose
duty it shall be to make such abatements
on the tax of individuals as to them shall
seem just and equitable in consideration of
their being in debt or any particular mis-
fortune or embarrasment of circumstances.
Therefore we the subscribers sensible of
the general utility and importance to our-
selves and posterity of supporting the Gos-
pel and being desirous that unanimity may
subsist, and that the .burden of such sup-
port may be borne as equitable as possible
and hoping jointly to participate in the
blessings and advantages of the gospel
ministry, do hereby bind ourselves to pay
the sums that shall be assessed and levied
upon us annually to the said Mr. James
Richards or to such person or persons as
shall be appointed to collect the same,
to commence from the time Mr. Richards
shall return to supply the said congre-
gation, and to be paid quarter yearly
during the time he shall continue to
do the duties of a minister to them, and
we continue members of the said congre-
gation, or until this mode of payment shall
be revoked or altered by a majority of the
said parishioners, provided that any sub-
scribers may within three months after the
expiration of any year erase his name by
applying to the Clerk of the Trustees, whose
duty it shall be to keep this obligation. In
witness whereof we have hereunto sub-
scribed our names this 22d day of July, 1794.

HISTORICAL SERMON— No. 2.
By REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.
Hitherto there has been a short period
between the removal of one pastor and the
calling of another, but from the time of Mr.
McDowell's dismissal to the settlement of
his successor was a period of 14 months.
Mr. Barnes, receiving a call Nov. 29, 1824,
was ordained and installed Feb. 8, 1825, by
the Presbytery of Elizabethtown, then but
recently organized, being a part of the old
Presbytery of Jersey. In the interval Rev.
W. J. Hamilton's services had been sought
by the congregation, who were anxious to
"hire" him for two years, which he declined
and soon after he became the successor of
Dr. Richards, of Newark. Then the Rev.
Darius O. Griswold was called which call
he accepted and afterwards declined. But
the church was not wholly vacant it being
supplied by Prof. Bush for several months
and who was the means of introducing the
Rev.Albert Barnes to the congregation. This
was Mr. B.'s first charge, and to his Master's
work here he consecrated all his powers.
His sermons were close, pungent, discrimi-
nating and pointed, making no compromises
with sin and fearlessly uttered. There was
a practicalness about many of them that
met the inquiries of the timid and doubting
whose cases he would gather up in their
mterviews with him, con over in his study,
and from the pulpit, the minister's throne,
would he utter truths suited to their
individual wants. He would also lay bare
the hypocrisy and sins of many, who indi-
vidually felt that he was the man of whom
the preacher was speaking. One of the
self-convicted ones came to him with the
inquiry who had been speaking to hira
about her,and then indignantly repelling the
charge by saying, " she would not have
cared if they had told the truth."
The greatest commotion was excited in
the early part of his ministry by his decided
and unflinching course on Temperance.
That great work was beginning to occupy
the thoughts of many. Here he found
drinking customs in vogue, and distilleries
dotted all over the parish. Few places
needed reforming more, said Dr. Fisher in a
Fast Day sermon preached in 1812. "In the
guilt of this loathsome vice intemperance,
this congregation is deeply involved for
such is its awful prevalence in some of our
borders that if the destroying angel were to
pass over, for the purpose of separating the
infected from the sound we have reason to
fear that very few would, escape," and then
in a foot note says this is peculiarly appli-
cable to a distant limb of the congregation.
Mr. Barnes found with the limits of his pas-
toral charge 19 places where ardent spirits
were made and 20 where they were sold.
To arrest the evils that are ever associated
with this vice and remove if possible the
curse from the community he early called
the attention of his people to the subject
by a series of sermons in which he appealed
to their reason, conscience and religion, an(}

sought to lead them to an abandonment of
social drinking usages, and of the places
where intoxicating drinks were manufac-
tured and sold. Some engaged in the traffic
were first indignant at his interference and
radical measures, and after listening to his
discourse, determined never again to be
present to listen to another, but at the
time for the delivery of the next sermon
they were in their places anxious to hear
what he would say, and at last so convinced
were they of the injury that they were
doing to the morals of the place and the
happiness of families that soon 17 of the dis-
tilleries were closed, and not long after his
departure the fires of the other two went
out. One has, however, lately been com-
menced in a neighborhood that suffered
formerly very much from intemperance,
but it is not under my pastoral charge, still
I hope that it will soon be converted into
something more meet for man's wants and
those of the community.
Here also was commenced that system of
early rising and literary labor, resulting in
good to the church and pecuniary benefit
to the author, and that has been kept up
with but little intermission ever since.
Sabbath Schools demanded not only a new
kind of literature, but of comments upon
the Word of God, To meet the want with
reference to the latter Mr. Barnes com-
menced the preparation of a commentary
on the Gospels which at once became popu-
lar, and which has been followed by several
others upon different portions of the Word
of God. These studies were a great aid to
his pulpit ministrations, and were regarded
by him as a side work, occupying his time
• from 4 till 9 A. M. These publications are
all of a popular cast.
Here also was preached and published
the sermon called "The Way of Salvation,"
which was greatly instrumental in his being
called to the First Church of Philadelphia,
and which from its statements in regard to
certain doctrines led to discussion, opposi-
tion, censure, trial and a temporary sus-
pension of his ministerial duties.
When Mr. Barnes came to Morristown
there was only one other church in this
region the Baptist, organized in 1752, but
which had frequently to struggle for an ex-
istence, not having attained to the strength
that it now possesses. In 1826 the Metho-
dist church was organized which soon ad-
vanced with great rapidity and has made its
impress upon a large portion of this com-
munity. Its first edifice was built in 1827,
and the present structure in 1841. ( In the
great revival of 1827-8 over 200 joined the
society on probation.) According to last
report it has 310 members, 40 probationers
and a property worth $16,000. Besides this
two other churches of this connection have
sprung up at Green Village and New Ver-
non with a joint membership of 80 and 33
probationers.
In Jan. i, 1827 the Episcopalians were or-
ganized into a church which took the name
of St. Peter's. This edifice was consecrated
in 1828, and its first Rector was the Rev.
Benjamin Holmes. It was recently enlarg-
ed and improved under its present Rector
and contains at present a membership of
112, An offshoot from this afterwards took
place owing to certain theological tenden-
cies on the part of its minister, which was
organized into the Church of the Redeemer
and contains a membership of 41.
During Mr. Barnes' ministry this building
was crowded every pew being taken and
from the great revival which occurred
while he was here and to which on a former
occasion I have fully alluded, the church
was greatly strengthened. It was more
powerful and extensive than any that has
ever occurred in the history of this place,
and then as in the revival under McDowell
this church reached a membership that it
has never possessed since and never will
again, owing to the number of churches cov-
ering the territory then occupied solely by it.
Mr. Barnes' power while here lay in the
pulpit and not in social and pastoral visiting,
and in this he differed from the former pas-
tors. His pulpit ability, ministerial faith-
fulness and success directed the attention
of other churches to him, so that a com-
mittee from the First Church of Phila-
delphia, came to hear him, the sermon to
which I have alluded, was circulated in that
congregation and as a result a call was in
due time extended to him. When that call
came before the Presbytery of Philadelphia
it was resisted by some on the ground of
his sermon containing doctrinal errors, this
was overruled and the commissioners al-

lowed to prosecute the call. Mr. Barnes'
removal was opposed -strongly by the whole
congregation before the Presbytery, but be-
lieving it to be his duty to resign his charge,
the congregation gave way, and at a second
meeting of the Presbytery June 8, 1830, Mr.
Barnes' was dismissed to the Presbytery of
Philadelphia. The occurrences before that
body, the Synod of Philadelphia and the
General Assembly in connection with the
sermon "the Way of Salvation" are matters
of history and do not belong to the history
of this church. The sermon as here deliv-
ered, was designed says the author to bring
together the leading doctrines ot the Bible
respecting God's way of saving men, " And
is an outline of the way of salvation by the
gospel." By a singular oversight the great
doctrine of justification of faith is not al-
luded to in this "way," while there are to
say the least unguarded expressions respect-
ing other doctrines that were sufficient to
provoke controversy and awaken suspicions
on the part of a strong portion of the
church who clung to old measures and a
distinctive and well understood phraseology.
No man has left his impress upon this
congregation more than Mr. Barnes, he
came here in his youthful vigor, and God
largely owned his labors, and few ministers
have had a more attached people, who loved
him for his excellencies, revered him for his
piety and have followed his after life with
undeviating interest. 296 were admitted to
the church, of these 228 were on profession
and 68 by certificate. On Oct. i, 1826
Timothy Tucker, William Enslee. Geo. K.
Drake, Frederic King, Jonathan Thompson
and Jonathan Oliver were ordained elders,
then the session consisted of 14.
There was after Mr. Barnes' removal, a
long interval before another pastor was set-
tled ; one and another had been listened to
as candidates, but no pastor was obtained
till Dec. 26, 1831, when the Rev. Mr. Hoover
was called. He commenced his labors Jan.
20, and was installed pastor Feb. 8, 1832. In
the performance of his duties he had the
sympathy of his people and God did not
leave himself without a witness among them.
Several were added to the communion
during the first year of his ministry and in
the Spring of the ensuing year a greater in-
terest in divine things was manifested on
Morris Plains, Christians there were re-
vived, prayer was more earnest, and on the
labors of the pastor in that district God
poured out his Spirit. Several were awak-
ened and brought to Jesus. The school
house was crowded and many could not
gain admittance. When the work was
seemingly arrested a day of fasting and
prayer was appointed which gave a new
stimulus to the interest and those who were
halting and doubting soon gave decided
evidence of conversion. The opposition of
the infidel gave way and he acknowledged
Jesus to be his hope and Saviour, and the
youth fled for refuge to the same deliverer
and rejoiced in the tokens of redeeming love.
Some of these have done a good work in
that neigborhood. Other sections that had
scarcely been moved were visited with
God's gracious smiles the latter part of the
following Winter and Spring. Before this
the church was in a cold state. Worldly
conformity was seen, and earnest, living
piety was lacking. This the pastor and a few
others saw and lamented, it was brought
before the session and the church, when
special meetings for prayers and special
visitation were determined on. The parish
was districted and 34 directors were ap-
pointed, who went two and two. This was
blessed to some and soon signs of awaken-
ing were seen, and a succession of religious
services were commenced in the month of
February, in which he was assisted by
neighboring pastors and which continued
for some time. In Reed and Mattheson''s
visit to the American churches we have the
following minute with reference to this
place. "In the morning, says Mr. R., I
worshipped at the Presbyterian church.
The avenues and green were animated by
the little groups hastening to the house of
God. Some 60 light wagons stood about
the green and church fence which had al-
ready delivered their charge. The people
were all before the time. The exercises
were well and piously conducted. Mr.
Hoover read his sermon, but he read it with
tears. It was on the duty of parents to
their children and made a good impression.
It was adapted to this end, for it was excel-
lent in composition and in feeling. The
people did not show much interest in the
singing nor all the interest in the prayer
i64
THE RECORD.
which I expected, but on the whole it
was perhaps the best time of both pastor
and people, for they were still surrounded
by the effects and influence of a revival
which had lasted most of the winter." As
the fruits of this gracious refreshing 52 were
added during the year 1834. Of this work
Mr. H., says, "the very air seemed laden
with awful influence. It seemed to me as
if some mighty presence hung down from
heaven penetrating all, oppressing all, and
I was often afraid to move or speak lest I
should say or do something wrong." This
church was at the time the largest in the
State of New Jersey according to its report
to the General Assembly.
On June 26, 1833, Mr. Hoover assisted
in the organization of a church at New Ver-
non, drawn mainly from this society, 30
were dismissed that year from this church
and several during the next two years.
That enterprise received material aid in the
erection of their building, from this church.
On March i, 1836, the pastor sent to a
parish meeting a letter giving reasons why
he wished a dissolution of the pastoral re-
lation. These were such as to induce the
congregation to accede to his proposal, but
from their regard for him they continued
his salary some time longer. On Sept. 9,
1832, Stephen A. Prudden, Jonathan D.
Marvin, John B. Johnes, John R. Freeman,
Jonathan Pierson, Sylvester Whitehead and
John W. Cortelyou were added to the bench
of elders. On April 7, 1836, John B. Johnes
and Jonathan Thompson resigned their
seats in the Session. The funds of the
church were reduced at this time to $2,000,
besides certain real estate, the principal hav-
ing been used, with the interest to meet as
the occasion demanded the deficiency upon
the pews. At the meeting in which this
statement was made, it was also unani-
mously decided to make the salary $1,200
for reasons forcibly presented in a written
report to the parish.
A call was presented to the Rev. James
W. Adams, of Syracuse which he declined,
and on Dec. 19, 1836, the same was extend-
ed to Rev. O. L. Kirtland which he accept-
ed and entered on his labors Jan. 13, 1837,
and was installed by the Presbytery of
Elij^abethtown, March 23, 1837. This year
a corrected list of members was made and
the number found to be in actual com-
munion at that time and reported to the
next Assembly was 453. The year 1837
was one of vital moment to the Presby-
terian church. The acts of the assembly
were to be approved or condemned according
to the standpoint taken in regard to them,
as at that meeting "the plan of union" was
repealed and certain Synods exscinded.
This led in the following year to a division
of the church at large into two bodies, both
claiming the sariie name and rights. On
that year the representatives of our Pres-
bytery adhered to the Old School. The
Synod of New Jersey met that fall in this
church and did the same, though the Pres-
byteries of Newark and Montrose cast in
their lot with the New School. The decis-
ion of Presbytery and Synod caused this
church to remain in connection with the
Old School though there was naturally
much sympathy with those who became
identified with the measures and acts of the
other portion in which were Richards, Fish-
er and Barnes the former leaders of this
pulpit.
During the latter part of Mr. Kirtland's
pastorate another division took place that
had a more immediate bearing upon the in-
terests of the town and church. Owing to
causes to which I need not here allude, a
portion of the congregation felt it to be
their duty to withdraw and erect a second
church, and the present tasteful edifice in
South street is an evidence of the spirit by
which they were swayed. Party feeling ran
high and much was said and done that was
neither for the glory of God nor the honor
of religion. Amidst the excitement attend-
ing upon such a measure two things are at
present matters of rejoicing, the one that the
house was built and the church organized, the
other that the bitterness of feeling has been
removed and something truer and nobler is
reigning. The present pastors are strangers
to all that then occurred ; and whilst I can
speak of the unanimity and cordiality that
has ever existed on our part, I can also
testify to the good feeling on the part of
my flock towards those who thus felt it a
duty to go out and build.

HISTORICAL SERMON— No. 2.
By REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.
We are brethren possessing the same
name, the same faith and belonging to the
same great family, and as such should labor
for the same end in harmony and in love.
It has been to me a matter of regret that
the church did not divide before. Besides,
Morris township was larger in population
in 1810 than in 1830, the church was much
larger in regard to attendance and in mem-
bership in 1820 than in 1840, and everything
demanded that a new enterprise should be
started. Had the spirit that reared this
building been manifested in church exten-
sion in later times, Presbyterianism would
be much more influential in the community
than it now is, but self more than God's
glory kept together a large hive, so that
when God saw that they would not swarm
he permitted another spirit to enter and
thus drive them apart. For the result we
thank God. Mr, K. went out with the col-
ony, when those that remained called the
Rev. A. H. Dumont, D. D., which call he ac-

circumstances. There was much excitement
in the community, the congregation was
His ministry was exercised under trying
greatly reduced, pew rents were inadequate
to meet the expenditures, and a few had
liberally to meet the deficiencies, but it was
done, a large salary was given, the church
building thoroughly repaired, and other
large sums contributed that at least showed
a willing mind and a desire to perpetuate
the old prestige of the church. In one of
the old papers of the town we have the fol-
lowing respecting Mr. D.'s ministry : '* The
lover of oratory could have no greater treat
nor the intellectual man a richer repast than
in listening to those productions so refilete
with admirable reasoning and beaiitiful
imagery. It is true he was no visitor but
his deficiency in this respect was by no
means owing to any want of colloquial tal-
ent or natural aversion to the delights of
social intercourse, but he seemed to prefer
the retirement of his study and the uninte-
rupted enjoyment of his peculiar pursuits
to everything else." During his ministry
of four and a half years 53 were added on
examination and 58 by letter. On Sept. 21,
1843, Ezra Mills was ordained elder. In
Mr. D. sent in his resignation, and in due
time he was loosed from his pastoral charge.
On Sept. I. 1845, a call was made and pre-
sented to Rev. Jonathan B. Condict — it was
not accepted. On the ensuing November a
call was given to Alex'r R. Thompson, li-
centiate, which he accepted and was ordain-
ed, and installed by the Presbytery of Efea-
beth Town, Jan. 14. 1848, the Rev. Dr»
Broadhead, of Brooklyn, preached the ser-
mon. On May 3d of the same year Ira C.
Whitehead was ordained Ruling Elder.
Measures were taken this year for the erec-
tion of a parsonage house, whidh was finish-
cepted and was installed January 17, 1841. ed in 1847. and has been Occupied Since

THE RECORD.
certain difficulties arising respecting church
Psalmody Mr. Thompson felt constrained
in the month of June to tender his resigna-
tion, and to his request the congregation
reluctantly assented, and his pastoral con-
nection with this church was dissolved by
Presbytery July 28, 1847 ; 31 were added to
the communion roll, 10 by examination and
31 by certificate.
The Rev. James Richards, of Penn Yan,
was the next pastor, being inducted into
that office by Presbytery Dec. 28, 1847-
This installation ^as fruitful in pleasant as-
sociations. Dr. Magie acquainted with his
father, the former pastor of this church, de-
livered a solemn charge to the pastor in
which he alluded to the bright constellation
of ministers that constituted the Presbytery
when he entered it in his youth and then
said: "Among all, I say it with the earn-
estness of thorough conviction, there is
not one to whom my mind reverts with a
deeper and more filial reverence than to
James Richards. He was so wise, so judi-
cious, so prudent. His counsel in those
days was as if a man inquired at the oracle
of God. Everywhere, in the pulpit, the lec-
ture room, the parlor and the market place,
he was the same upright, dignified, consis-
tent Christian minister. You will oft be re-
minded of your honored sire as you go in
and out among this people. The aged pil-
grim here will live to speak of his preach-
ing, his prayers, and his counsel, and they
will thank God for one who\)ears his name
and fills his place. May his mantle fall on
you and your heart he imbued with a dou-
ble portion of his spirit." How this was
realized, his walk, conversation and deport-
ment you well know. The rumors that
arose and the painful recollections that fol-
lowed, together with the tedious trial of
Presbytery are all fresh in your minds and
need not be enlarged upon ; as a preacher
he was popular, earnest and vehement ; in
social intercourse he was affable and win-
ning. The last sermon he preached was in-
strumental in the conversion of a young
man who was a few months ago called from
our midst, just after he had finished his
theological course and had commenced
preaching the gospel of the Son of God.
He r€?sig<ied his pastoral charge in July,
i8$i. having-, during his ministry, received
in to fellowship of the churcn 13 on exami- ,
nation and 40 by certificate. ;
On Dec. 16,1851, the Rev. John H. Town-
ley was installed pastor by Presbytery, the \
Rev. Dr. Murray preaching the sermon. Mr. •
Townley had for several years been pastor of
the church at Hackettstown, where he was ]
beloved and where God had blessed his min- j
istrations. He came here at a trying time, ;
yet by his holy walk and conversation, his \
devotedness to his master's service, his un-
tiring zeal and his faithful exhibition of the
truth, he commended himself to many |
hearts, winning their esteem, confidence
and affection. God blessed his labors. He |
brought with him the seeds of that disease j
that closed his ministry on earth and that i
cut him off in the strength of his days, but i
to the last he sought to preach the un-
searchable riches of Christ, and he only
yielded when he was unable to declare the
message of God, and on the 5th of Feb.
1855, he was gathered to his fathers, the
second pastor that died sustaining this re-
lation to this church.
Mr. Townley was born at Westfield, Es-
sex County, N. J., on March, 1818, was a
graduate of the College of N. Jersey and of
the Theological Seminary, Princeton, after
which he accepted a call to the Presbyte-
rian Church of Hackettstown and then to
the First Church of Morristown. His fune-
ral services took place on Feb. 8, 1855. Dr
Murray preached the sermon on the text,
" God so loved the world," &c., a text select-
ed by the deceased that the gospel mightfc
again be preached to his people over his re-[]
mains. Of him the Session hav% recorded
" that as a pastor his qualities of mind and|^
heart, and his excellencies of life and char
acter have made him a rich blessing to this
church and congregation." During hi
three years pastorate 85 were received intc
communion with the church, 35 on exami^f
nation and 50 by certificate.
On Nov. 5, 1855, the present pastor wajtii
inducted into the pastoral office, the Rev
Chas. K. Imbrie, of Jersey City, preachec
the sermon. During these official relation
the word preached has not been in vain

o the other excellent body of men that
;onstituted the session, Messrs. Stevenson,

ence of the church has largely expanded
0 there is not a church in the state in pro-
)ortion to its ability that has contributed
note for the spread of the gospel than this
luring the last four years.
A few brief reflections and I have done,
i) When the First Church edifice was rear-
id there were no buildings around the park,
10 streets except Water street, leading to
t, the park was a forest and the roads to
Saskingridge and Mendham were principal-
y the Indian trail. Hanover was the
)nly church organized in the county — now
here are 11 in the township. Then the
Province had no newspaper, no printing
)ress and scarcely a decent road. There
vas no regular mail in the state — a weekly
nail between Philadelphia and New York
n Summer and bimonthly in Winter, and
hese were only Provincial towns. The
ferseys could boast of no newspaper,
ind no printing press — now they are count-
id by thousands in our country.
(2) When the church was organised
here were only two in the whole county,
;mbracing at the time the counties ot Sus-
ex and Warren and Morris, containing
1 population of some 4,000 inhabitants,
■^ow, in Morris county alone we have 48
:hurches, 24 Presbyterian, 13 Methodist, 5
Episcopal, 2 Reformed Dutch, i Congrega-
ional, and i Lutheran — then the member-
.hip did not exceed 300. Now there are
),ooo communicants, then there were only
|.o churches in the State, now there are
ibout 850 evangelical churches with a mem-
bership of about 100,000.
(3) When the first pastor was called to
.he pastorate in 1742, there were 54 Presby-
terians ministers in the United States, now
.here are 6,254.
(4) When a minister was wanted to sup-
ply the pulpit, this congregation knew not
ivhere to look. The Presbytery therefore
ivrote to the Rector of Yale College if he
knew of a minister to send him thither — we
had then no college in the Province and no
Theological Seminary, but were dependent
on Foreign ministers or those educated in
New England. Now we have hundreds of
candidates. More than a 100 colleges and
nearly 40 Theological Seminaries in the land
under Presbyterian influence. Then thetc
was no associated effort for the spread of
the gospel or assisting the feeble. In ouf
branch of the church alone over $3,000,000
were expended last year for the support of
the gospel at home and abroad.
If these indicate progress throughout our
land there are also healthful indications of
spirituality in our own branch ; there is
more piety in the churches and fewer cases
requiring discipline, now than a hundred
years ago. There were 170 public confes-
sions for various gross sins during Dr.
Johnes' minister. The number was also
great under Dr. Richards. There are, again,
more professors in proportion to the popu-
lation now than formerly, In the 520 fami-
lies alluded to by Dr. Fisher there were only
308 professing christians ; now we have
over 1,300 members in the town churches,
besides those that belong to the churches
in New Vernon and Green Village.
Another cheering sign is that of those
who unite with the church, more are from
the young than formerly. Then again there
is more active benevolence and less bitter
party political spirit, than in ,the days of
Richards and Fisher, and also less intem-
perance.
Then, as a church we have had no sympa-
thy with the ultraisms of the day, either on
the right hand or on the left, in politics, re-
ligion or moral reforms. This church has
pursued a steady onward course from the
beginning. Fanaticism has never crept in-
to the pulpit or the pew ; it received a
healthful direction in its infancy, and from
that it has never swerved. May the same
noble conservatism mark its after history —
what that future is we cannot now tell. Soon
our pilgrimage will end and our relation to
this church cease. Let us live nobly for
heaven, cherish the previleges bequeathed
to us by our fathers — adhere to their princi-
ples as they were based upon God's word,
and never forsake the faith that bears the
impress of heaven, but bequeath it unsullied
to our children, that, thus standing between
the past and the future, we may look back
to the one with gratitude, and forward to the
other with budding hope and joyous antici-
pation.

Lindley, Caleb Russell. Abraham T.
Schenck, and Samuel Oliver appointed un-
dertakers or managers to finish with the
advice and consent of the Com. of Council
the new meetinghouse.
Oct. 29, 1795. Voted that the money col-
lected last Sabbath be applyed to the sup-
port of Missionarys on the frontiers.
Agreed that no public provisions be made
for those employ'd in giting wood for Mr.
Richards.
Jan. I, 1796. Voted that Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Ogden and Ezekiel Whitehead be re-
quested to set with the singers, and lead the
Tenor & Bass. Committee also appointed
to raise money by "an equitable assessment
on the parishioners for the purpose of pay-
ing for the new meeting house."
Feb. 18, 1796. Com. reported they could
not raise the money. As worship had al-
ready begun in the new building ( on the
26th of Nov., 1795), it was resolved that
the seats be sold for the purpose of re-
imbursing the undertakers or managers for
mone3'^s advanced or promised.
Among the regulations of this sale we
find that seat No. i on the East side was to
be reserved for the minister's family, and on
the West side for strangers, and No. 31 and
32 for those hard of hearing and for the
poor.
That the undertakers affix such a price to
the remaining seats as will in the whole
amount to ^4,000. the estimated expense of
said house.
That five per cent, of the valuation be
assessed upon the pews to pay the minis-
ter's salary.
Feb. 25. 1796. Parish meeting voted to
make eight seats free, and fixed the assess-
ments on the others at sums ranging from
/29to^i2o. The /;-<;«/ seats brought the
higher price.
March 5, 1796. Parish meeting author-
ized the Trustees to have the old meeting
house taken doirn at parish expertse.

Dr. Richards was dismissed April 26, 1809. His successor, Rev. Samuel Fisher. D.
D., was settled in July or August, 1809. It will be noticed that there are recorded
above, the admission of four persons, apparently uniting with the church after Dr. Rich-
ards was dismissed. They were admitted in the time between the two pastorates of Dr.
Richards and Dr. Fisher ; but are recorded here so as to preserve the continuity of the
registry. When the Record again introduces the admissions to the church it will be-
gin with those admitted in Dr. Fisher's time.
BAPTISMS.
The Record for December, 1881, com-
pleted the list of Baptisms, as found in the
Register of Rev. Dr. Timothy Johnes, which
comes down to 29 October, 1793. For two
years previous to this latter date, the Rev.
Aaron C. Collins was colleague pastor with
Dr. Johnes, and the second Register, appa-
rently begun by Mr. Collins, continues some
names for the years 1792 and 1793. which
were not recorded by Dr. Johnes. In re-
suming the publication, therefore, we go
back to the date, at which the two Regis-
ters begin to diverge and include, thereafter,
all the names appearing in both.
Mr. Collins was dismissed 2d Sept. 1793,
and Dr. Johnes died 17 Sept., 1794. These
facts, probably, account for the lack of a
record of Baptisms in 1794.
The Rev. Dr. James Richards was install-
ed I May, 1795, and the Baptisms after this
last date belong to his Pastorate.

remember that those who inscribed these

a system which is often as absurd as it is
etymologically false, a great barrier in

ume. The Januarj' number will begin the
publication of extracts from Dr. Johnes' Ses-
sion Book, which dates back to 1742. Lists
of baptisms, communicants, marriages and
burials will appear in the order of the oas-
torates under which they occurred, as dur-
ing the past year ; hut Supplements contain-
ing these lists will be paged to be bound
with Vols. I and 11 of The Record. Ex-
tracts from the Session and Trustees' books
will be paged continuously for the separate
volume ; and, should the proposal meet
with sufficient encouragement, an alphabet-
ical list of all the ntimes which appear on
the Registers of baptisms, communicants,
marriages and burials, will be prepared, and
arranged in family groups, to close the vol-
ume. For this new volume, a reorint will
be made of the more interesting portions of
the Trustees' Book, which have already ap-
peared in The Record. This reprint will
not be issued as a regular part of the publi-
cation, but as an extra ; and it will be swp-

LIST of ruling elders.
Pages 34 and 35.
John Lindslej" met with Session 29 June,
1752 Is there not an error in the date of
his death as there given }
Abner Beach, the sixth n.ime on this list
and also on that of Mr. Barnes, should
probably be eiased. The onl)' reason now
apparent for calling him an Elder is the fact
that in the minute recording his suspension ,
(the only place where he is mentioned,) he is
stj'led "a member of our Body." But, as
Dr. Johnes elsewhere uses the word Body to
designate the Church membership, it seems
insufficient evidence for tlie conclusion that
he here includes Abner Beach in the Ses-
sion by this term.
Joseph Prudden, Jr. is first mentioned as
an Elder in 1783, not 1785. Isaac Prudden,
Samuel Freeman, Jesse Cutler, and Mat-
thias Crane do not appear till 1795; ^*'-
Barnes' Manual says they were" first in of-
fice between 1792 and 1795."
David Lindsley appears for last time at
meeting of Session, 23 Ma}', 1733, not 11
Dec. 1832; and was dismissed May, 1833, to
New Vernon, where he died 15 Nov., 1858.

James Stevenson should be recorded as
appearing last at Session meeting 28 Oct.,
1807 ; he is not mentioned even among the
absentees after 3 May, 1809.
Stephen Young was dismissed to the 2d
Church 26 Jan., 1841, and Lewis Mills at the
same time, but the latter returned 24 Feb.,

The name of Francis Johnes should be in-
serted after that of Peter A. Johnson, as he
was elected an Elder at the same time with
the four whose names precede, I4Ma5^ 1812;
although not ordained with them, " being
on a journey at the time," according to the
record, but ordained 4 Mar., 1814, and pres-
ent at one meeting of Session, that of 22
April, 1814. The fact that he met once with
the Session gives his name aright to a place
in the list along with the name of George
K. Drake, since the latter never attended
even one Session meeting.

In the Record for January an error oc-

Catharine Smith, afterwards Mrs. David
Mills. Mrs. Mills died in 1865 and not in 1855.
A great favor will be conferred upon the
editor if any person discovering mistakes
will report them. Proper corrections will
always be made.
A very strange omission occurred in the
mention of the names of the pastors of the
church, made in the last number of The
Record. It was an inadvertence very much
regretted. No notice was made of the
Rev'd Orlando L. Kirtland. It was simply
an oversight, entirely accidental. Mr.
Kirtland was installed March 23, 1837, and
dismissed August 26, 1841, becoming then
the first pastor of the South Street Presby-
terian church of this city. The request
made for facts and information relative to
our former pastors is renewed, especially
with reference to Mr. Kirtland. This
saintly minister of God cannot be forgotten.
The first and second volumes of the
Record may be had upon application to
either Mr. James R. Voorhees, Mr. Wm.
D. Johnson, or to Francis L. Whitehead,
the sexton of the church.
Price 75 cents, each volume.
REV. JOHN ABBOTT FRENCH.
Of the seventeen pastors, who have min-
istered to the First Presbyterian Church,
five only survive. One of these bears the
name at the head of this article. He is still
in the full flush of manhood. He came to
us in his youth, when he had the hope ot a
life of usefulness before him, and left us be-
fore the bloom of that youth had left him.
We had the freshness of his young life and
the energy of his opening manhood. The
few years, which he gave us, were filled with
the evidences of his desire to serve his
Master and to benefit his kind. None of
the present generation who have listened to
his efforts, will forget him and none speak
of him but to praise.
John Abbott French was born at Bosca-
wen, N. H., in 1840. He was prepared early
for college in the high school at Nashua,
N. H., and in 1858, he entered Williams col-
lege, where he graduated, in 1862. After
graduation he entered the Union Theologi-
cal Seminary of N. Y., where he remained
a short time and finished his theological
course with the Rev. Charles Robinson, D.
D., now of the Memorial Church in N. Y.
He was ordained in 1867, and,"shortly after
ordination, took charge of the Congrega-
tional Church, at Flushing, L. I. While
preaching at Flushing he received a call from
the First Presbyterian Church of Morris-
town, N. J., which was accepted and on
December 21, 1868 he was installed pastor.
He remained in charge of our church until
January 31, 1877, when he was transferred
to the Fourth Presbyterian Church at
Chicago, succeeding Professor Swing, at
the close of the Swing and Patton contro-
versy. His health failing, he resigned in
January, 1880. Improving his health by
rest and travel, he became so far restored
that in October, 1881, he resumed the charge
THE RECORD.
of the Congregational Church at Flushing,
where he now is.
The relations between Mr. French and
his people here in Morristown were pecu-
liarly pleasant and his memory will long be
cherished.
Mr. French possesses great cordiality and
sprightliness of manner. He has a keen
sense of the ludicrous and much native wit.
His ability to clothe his utterances, while
addressing an audience, when the severe
rules, which checked him in presenting re-
ligious truth, could be cast aside, was almost
marvellous. The irrepressible smile, often
he merry laugh, were sure to follow his
addresses when he gave full expression to
his humor and wit. His wit was never ex-
ercised at the expense of others. It was
keen but it never wounded, and never de-
scended. The smile, the laugh which it ex-
cited, were never the boisterous merriment
induced by broad humor, and his wit was
such, that if he chose, he could make it
appreciable by all. It was simply a delight
to see him and hear him in the Sunday
school, or at some meeting, where children
formed the larger part of his audience.
This characteristic of Mr. French was
born with him ; it was as natural to him as
the breath he drew. He never abused it,
but always knew when to use it, and when
to restrain it. Delightful as it was, to his
hearers, he lust it when he was in the pul-
pit. There he was the minister of God, de-
livering the message of his Master to his
people. He did not lose the sprightliness
of manner and matter, which marked his ef-
forts elsewhere ; that would have been a
simple impossibility. But he threw around
his pulpit utterances a dignity, which told
his hearers, that he, at least, fully felt the
importance of his position. His sermons
were rarely, if ever, threatening ; his gen-
tle nature did not delight in holding up to
his hearers the terrors of the law. but he
chose rather to dwell upon the love and
mercy of the Savior. His efforts were per-
suasive, full of similes and comparisons,
in which he peculiarly delighted, and which
he invested with a directness of purpose, a
fitness of adaptation, and a propriety in their
application to the subject in hand, which
charmed and never failed to arrest attention.
His command of language was great, and
his selection of words, with a view to their
nice adjustment for the proper expression
of his ideas, seemed intuitive. It is barely
probable that his power, in that direction,
was the consequence of study; but he so
seized the subtle differences in the meaning
of words that it appeared as if his was an in-
herent ability.
He was particularly successful in those
subjects, in which fancy and imagination
could be made subservient to his purpose.
His was the fanc\' which delighted in trac-
ing similes between natural scenes and
those higher thoughts which lead man from
nature to nature's God. His was the im-
agination which, with metaphor and figure,
charged home upon the conscience of the
sinner, taught him his duty to repent and
believe, showed the mercy of God, the love
of the Savior, and enforced all those in-
ducements, which can be brought to bear
upon sinful man, to change the evil of his
ways and become reconciled with an offend-
ed Deit}'. His eyes were always open to the
scenes which surrounded him, and the quick
play of his fancy readily seized upon an3'
event, and passing it through the crucible
of his brain, made it subservient for the en-
forcement of a truth. The play of the
moonlight, following the foot of the rambler
upon the shore of the ocean ; the eddying
stream ; the little inlet, into which the
creeping waves came with ripple and shim-
mer, to gladden and brighten ; the same
wave, caught in its retreat, as the tide went
down, by the obstructing sand, and changed
from crystal, sparkling health into noisome
deca}^ the rays of the sunlight on the moun-
tain side, now caught and obscured by the
passing cloud, and now coming forth in all
their glory ; the unshapely mass of unsight-
ly ore, drawn from the dark mine, submitted
to the force of art and transmuted into the
shining metal — how he wove all these and a
thousand others, like them, taken trom na-
ture, with a subtle grace and a n;aster hand
into his sermons, bringing home to heart
and conscience truth and precept, with a
power and a charm which logic and argu-
ment, could not so well have enforced.
Mr. French was always true to himself, he
never brought crudities nor inequalities to
the pulpit ; his sermons were the result of
study and patient labor, but they were not
THE RECORD.
It
scholastic, simply derived from books. The
scholar appeared in them, but they were
such as could only proceed from a man
who had a loving heart and a gentle nature.
He was enthusiastic, but it was enthusiasm
tempered with wisdom. He was fearless in
his delivery of truth ; but it was a fearless-
ness tounded upon love, a love which went
out for all, and desired by a display of truth,
though it might sound harsh, to accom-
plish the best for those who heard.
It would, indeed, have been most difficult
for such a mind and such characteristics as
were possessed by Mr. French, not to
have left their impress upon our church and
congregation. They did impress us and
their influence is with us now and will
long linger with us.
He gained the respect of all, he won the
love ot all. His flock were happy under
his ministry, happj' in their young pastor
and he was happ\' in his people, in his min-
istrations to them and happy in the many
manifestations of love he received from
them. His presence was a delight to all. The
eyes of the scholars in the Sunday school
flashed with joy as his slender form appear-
ed among them, and his bright, laughing
glance beamed upon them. They expected
something pleasant from their pastor and he
never failed them.
Our church has been peculiarly blessed
in its pastors, but none of them all will be
remembered with greater affection than
John Abbott French.
The first number ol the Palladium of
Liberty was published at Morristown, Thurs-
day, March 30, 1808. Jacob Mann was its
first editor and publisher, Mr. Mann's ad-
dress to the public, which occupies the first
two columns of the first page, closes thus,
" I therefore pledge myself to the patrons of
this paper, that its columns shall never be
pointed with sentiments derogatory to na-
tional unanimity — at variance ^vith truth or
injurious to private reputation ; but as far
as m}' judgment will direct me, I shall en-
deavor to strengthen the just maxim, that
a free press is The Palladium of Lib-
erty."
The paper was printed "<?« the Green."
All of the four pages, except one smgle col-
umn, were devoted to n«ws, to original
poetry and communications. One column
alone was all that was required for adver-
tisements. There was soon, however, a
change in this feature, as nearly a whole
page in subsequent issues was devoted to
that kind of literature. The paper began its
publication at a most stirring period in the
history of the world. Thomas Jeff"erson was
President of the United States, James Mad-
ison, Secretary of State, and James Monroe,
Minister at the British Court. Bonaparte,
or, Buonaparte, as he was invariably called in
the newspapers of the day, both in Europe
and in this country ; was in the full tide of
victory. The celebrated " Orders of Coun-
cil" h?kdheQn made in the preceding No-
vember. There were serious fears of a rup-
tuie between England and the United
States. In the first number news from
Europe, happening there from January 28th
to February 6th, were published, making an
interval of nearl}' two months, during
which no information was received from the
old country. The paper is remarkable, cer-
tainly, for one feature. It is wanting en-
tirely in any news of events happening
either in town or county ; not a single item
of gossip, no mention of wedding dresses
nor wedding gifts. An exa mination of its
columns, when it appeared at the time of
the installati on of the Rev. Dr. Fisher, gave
no information whatever of that event.
It contains some ad veitisemtnts, which
show the difficulties and delays connected
with a trip then to New York, compared
with the ease and swiftness with which the
journey can be made to-day. May 30, 1808,
John Halsey advertises that " having fur-
nished himself with a pair of good horses,
and a careful driver, he intends to run a
stage from Morris-Town to Elizabeth-Town-
Point, which will start from his house in
Morris-Town on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays at 6 o'clock in the morning of each
day, so as to arrive at the Point for the
first boat and return on each succeeding
day." Fare one Dollar. "The driver will
leave New York with the first boat on the
returning days." "The Four Horse Stage
will run to Powles-Hook as usual, that is,
on Tuesdays and Fridays in each week, so
that passengers can be accommodated in
either Stage."
Mr. Martin, " lately from New York,"
THE RECORD.
May 23, 1808, " informs the Ladies and Gen-
tlemen of Morris-Town and its vicinity,
that he will open his French Schools on
Thursday, the 26th inst., horn Jive to eight in
the fnorning for young men, and from nine
to twelve for young ladies."
April 14, 1808, the death of John Newton
is thus noticed :
"On the evening of the 21st December
last, in the 83d year of his age, the Rev.
John Newton, Rector of St. Mary, Wool-
north, Lombard street, London. He was
29 years Rector of that Parish, and had for-
merly been a long time Curate of Olney,
Bucks.
He was the intimate friend of the celebra-
ted Cowper, as may be seen in Mr. Newton's
preface to Cowper's poems ; and while liv-
ing together at Olney. these two composed
the well-known Olney Hymns, which are
certainly among the best extant.
Mr. Newton is well known by his numer-
ous works, among which are his ' Omicron
Letters.' These were the first he published
and were universally admired. He had a
peculiarly happy talent at letter writing,
and his epistolary style has justly been con-
sidered a model. His works have under-
gone several editions in England and Scot-
land and have also been published in Amer-
ica."
Immediately following this notice of Mr.
Newton s death, is an announcement by the
editor, that he had issued proposals for
printing the works of Mr. Newton in nine
volumes, Duodecimo, at the low price of
seven dollars a complete set. Each volume
was to contain 340 pages, and was to be is-
sued every two months " or thereabouts."
This edition was actually published, and no
doubt is in the possession of some of the
families of the congregation. Will not some
one, possessing a cop3^ place it in the Li-
brary ?
The intense patriotism ol Mr. Mann is ap-
parent in almost every line, certainly upon
every page of his paper. It is quite inter-
esting to notice the manner in which
events, then crowding fast upon each other,
and which have since become recognized
as decisive upon subsequent history, were
received. Mr. Mann was a close observer,
and, in his intense love of country, he did
not fail to give full expression to his views
as in his opinion those events might affect
the interests of the Republic.
Much interesting matter will be found in
the Palladium, and reference may hereafter
be made to it to show change and progress,
and how our ancestors thought and lived,
PULPIT ECHOES. NO. 1.
A wise man, like Socrates ; a powerful
executive, like Caesar; an enthusiastic
philanthropist, like Howard, continues to
exert a certain sway over all the genera-
tions that remember the thoughts and deeds
of such a heroic leader. But the influence
of Jesus Christ in the world to-day is as
real and active and direct as the mysterious
influence of the sun upon vegetation. Yes,
that is but a faint figure. It is more than
an influence ; it is a personality. The work
of the Holy Spirit is the work of Jesus
Christ. We are influenced not merely by a
memory, or an example, or an inscrutable
force ; but by the living, present Jesus, our
Savior, the Son of God.
Take the inspired idea of Redemption as
a guide in reading the history of the world.
As surely as the law of gravity draws the
water of the mountain springs towards the
sea, so all the events of time have trended
to the broad estuary of christian civilization
where we are now resting. Before the ad-
vent, patriarch and law giver, priest and
prophet, the flood and the dispersion, the
rise and fall of kingdoms, the culture of
Egypt and Greece, the power of Babylon
and Rome, famine and plenty, the regular
course of the heavenly bodies, and the won-
derful Star of the East — all events are seen
now to have been the preparation of the
world for the advent of its Redeemer.
Upon no other principles can subsequent
history be explained. What but Redemp-
tion reveals an intelligible purpose in the
conversion of the Roman Empire and its
overthrow.? — that thus both the civilized
states around the Mediteranean, and the
barbarous hordes of pagan Europe, might
learn the story of the Cross.
What but a Redemptive aim can account
for the occurrences of the i6th century.? —
the revival of learning, the invention of
printing, the opening of a new world, th»
Reformation ; all factors in the establish-
ment of vigorous christian nations.
THE RECORD.
i3
The present century will be most memor-
able for two things : the marvellous achiev-
ments of physical science, and the enthu-
siasm of missions. Why were the secrets of
steam, electricity and chemistry — which
now, though still in the infancy of their de-
velopment, have so stimulated industry
and commerce as to bring the ends of the
earth nearer together than Rome and Jeru-
salem were in the days of the apostles —
why were these potent secrets kept hidden
from man until the Reformation had crys-
talized into enduring forms and begun to
exhibit an unprecedented missionary zeal }
Why, unless the Son of God is ruling in all
things so that the good news of Redemp-
tion shall go forth to every creature in all
the world.
In the light of the gospel of Redemption,
past and present display one, grand, benefi-
cent purpose for the future of mankind. If
the pessimists, whether professed infidels
like Shopenhauer and Hartmann or pro-
fessed Christians like the Plymouth Breth-
ren, would read the signs of the times, as
Jesus bade us do, their creed for humanity
would not be, " The goal of Christian civ-
ilization is barbarism ; Christ is surrender-
ing the world to Satan ;" but, instead, they
would be praising the Redeemer, who makes
each new dispensation of his grace wider
and more effective than the last. If the ma-
terialists could be induced to read the indel-
ible marks of design on the face of the
heavens, on the rocks of the earth, in the
historic life of man, they would discard a
creed which makes Eden a frog-pond, and
whose gospel has been aptly called by
Carlyle, " the gospel of dirt." If the
Christian, who does not believe in foreign
missions, were more desirous of learn-
ing his Lord's will in the signs of the times,
he would perceive that the secrets of steam,
electricity and chemistry, with all the ma-
terial benefits they bring, were not disclos-
ed for our selfish indulgence, but, on the
contrary, are the wards of the providential
key with which the doors of heathen souls
are being opened. By thus opening doors
our Lord himself beckons for our prayers
and our self-denying gifts, to send the mes-
sage of Redemption within.
The Redemptive aim of Providence is in-
dividual as well as general. It must be so.
A machine cannot be manufactured, an
army cannot be marshalled, without design-
ing and constructing each smallest part,
without drilling each common soldier, for
special adjustment to the plan that covers
the whole. W/tosoever will may receive the
new life, may share the glory of the redeem-
ed. Do all the Christian influences which
have surrounded each one of us, from the
cradle to the present moment, go for noth-
ing.' In whose ears has not the word of
life sounded .5 With whom has the Holy
Spirit not striven long } Look back
over the way you have come and see if the
trend of the whole has not been to show
you the vanity of this world and the value
of your soul, to reveal your need of pardon
and the hope of it in Christ Jesus, to ex-
hibit your own weakness and sin and the
power and holiness to be had through faith
in the Redeemer.
There are times, indeed, in the lives of
sincere Christians, when providence is dark
and bitter and hard. But redemption and
suffering are not incompatible ; suffering is
the heroic drill for perfection ; our Redeem-
er himself was made perfect through suffer-
ing. A child does not appreciate the love
which prompted its mother to govern it by
painful discipline. But the child, grown to
be a man, whose character has thus been
built up in noblest principles, looks into
the placid eyes, or stands over the grave of
that mother, with a heart full of tender grat-
itude for the love that did not shrink from
keenest pain to herself in giving him the
painful discipline which has made him noble
and godly. An infinitely greater love, even
that of our crucified Redeemer, sends trial
and chastisement, affliction and tribulation,
into the earthly lives of his disciples for
their eternal good. Now we see through a
glass darkly, and often murmur that our
Lord deals so severely with us ; but when
we shall see him face to face, the wisdom
and the love in all his providence will shine
out clear and bright; and we shall praise
Him because all things have worked tor
our redemption.
CHRIST'S INCARNATION.
Christ took our nature on him, not that he
'Bove all things lov'd it for the puritie ;
No, but he drest him with our humane trim
Because our flesh stood most in need of him.

THE RECORD.
THE RECTOR'S ASSISTANT
is welcome. It is an excellent church paper,
a credit to its editor and his parish. Its
reference, in the last issue, to the Rev. Mr.
Greens sermon, on church worship, is pe-
culiarly graceful, and has the true Christian,
brotherly spirit. With this spirit ever ani-
mating the various denominations, there
could be no contentions, no strife, but one,
and that who should serve the Master in
the best manner.
The Presbyterians in Fredonia are a
wide-awake people. The Fredonia Presby-
terian is a bright, spicy publication of ten
pages, full of Presbj'terian news and pub-
lished monthly. Its proprietors promise to
issue one thousand copies monthly, and do
not require pa3'ment as a condition for
sending the paper, but leave its' support to
voluntarj'^ contributions. It states some
facts which deserve notice. The salaries of
all the ministers in the United States
amount to six million of dollars. Dogs cost
seventy millions ; lawyers, thirty-five mil-
lions ; over six hundred milltons are expend-
ed annually for tobacco and twice that sum
for liquors.
We will always be glad to receive the Fre-
dotiia Presbyteria)i.
Our good friend and former pastor, Rev'd
R. S. Green, of course, would not be satis-
tied, in his new field of labor, if he did not
fill up his time with useful work. So he
edits and issues his excellent church or-
gan " Our Church at Work." An exceed-
ingly appropriate name, for the paper shows
conclusively that the Lafayette Street Pres-
byterian church at Buffalo, is a most indus-
trious organization, fully alive, alert and
abounding in every good word and work,
Irom pastor down.
The paper is an eight-page issue, well
printed, and like all that Mr. Green does, is
well edited, and shows a lively interest in all
matters pertaining to church labor. Our
Church at Work will always receive a hearty
welcome in Morristown.
So many congratulations crowd upon the
KKCORD.at Its reappearance, that their very
wealth embarrasses. They come from the
great West, from the North, from our own
State and now Morristown has added its
word of greeting. Is this the result of con-
spiracy, or does the Rfxord, really, de-
serve it all }
The West always gives words of hearty
cheer ; the north never flatters ; staid New
Jersey, severely just, should speak the
truth. What shall be said then to the
greeting of the Banner, so warm in its con-
gratulations ; so strong in its commenda-
tions, both ot paper and editor.' All are
received with thanks and will act as incen-
tives to future effort.
Will kind friends, who make such gener-
ous donations, please accept hearty thanks.
It would afford great pleasure to mention
names, but the liberal giver is alwaj's
modest.
One sends fifty dollars ; he is of our kith
and kin. Another, not worshipping with us.
bearing another denominational name, but
always alive to ever3' good word and work
and ever alert in Christian benevolence, un-
solicited, donates a smaller amount.
But the kind words accompanying the gift
and the kinder sympathy prompting it, add
a hundred fold to the pecuniary value.
A pleasant word comes from Cleveland,
Ohio. So pleasant that it is repeated.
"The receipt of The Record was a very
pleasant surprise and 1 wish you every suc-
cess for its publication."
The words are few, but they are more
than encouraging.
Another good word comes from nearer
home, from Cranford, N. J. " I assure you,"
saj's our correspondent, " I was pleased
to receive the Rfxmjrd again. I hope you
will have as much and greater success than
the Rev. Mr. Green, who so nobly com-
menced."
CHRIST'S ACTION.
Christ never did so great a work, but there
His humane nature did in part appeare ;
Or ne're so meane a peece, but men might
see
Therein some beames of his divinitie ;
So that, in all he did, there did combine
His humane nature and his part divine.

THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Of South Orange, will dedicate their new
house of worship on Friday evening, Feb'y
2. 1883.
The following correspondence speaks for
itself:
" South Orange. N. J.. Jan. 25, 1883.
To the Pastor and Congregation of Morris-
town First Church :
The Session of the First Presbyterian
Church of South Orange, cordially invite
you to attend the dedication of their new
house of worship ■ on Friday evening, Feb-
ruary 2d, 1883, at half-past seven o'clock.
By order of the session.
Jas. W. Conrow,
Edw'd D. Shepard,
Committee.
To Messrs. Conrow and Shepard, Committee :
The old First Church of Morristown re-
joices in the prosperity which your service
of c/^^/ra/z'wz bespeaks, and desires to unite
in vour prayers that the Spirit of God may
fill your new house of worship with his wis-
dom and power for the saving and sanctif\'-
ing of souls through many generations.
W. Durant, Pastor."
The teachers in the Sunday schools of
the various churches in Morristown deserve
a library. Books of reference, encyclopedias,
commentaries, church histories and other
books, useful for Sunday school teaching,
could be easily procured and in sufficient
numbers, at comparatively trifling expense.
Two or three hundred volumes would be
all that is necessary. Each church, of
course, could have its independent library.
If the First Presbyterian church should
adopt this plan, the books might be placed
in the study in the chapel.
But a suggestion comes from a friend of
Sunday schools worthy of attention, not
only by reason of its source, but also be-
cause of the excellence of the suggestion.
Combine* all the strength of our churches
and provide a library exclusively for the use
of the Sunday school teachers of the city
and make it free to all. In this way the
necessary number of volumes could be
readily procured. Doubtless the directors
of the Library and Lyceum would devote a
place to them in their building and provide
means for access to them. If each congre-
gation have a separate library, some room,
in connection with thechurch, must be pro-
vided for the books and some person to
take charge of them. If the combination
suggested be formed and a general library
procured and placed under the charge ot
the librarian at (he Lyceum, access could
be had to the books at all times, a pleasant
place would be at the service of the teachers
and means provided for full examination
and reference and for taking extracts and
notes.
If thought necessary to procure distinc-
tive denomin itional books, so much the
better. Each sect would have its own com-
mentaries and the others could ascertain
the opinions held by their fellow Christians
of different name. More .than one advan-
tage could be derived from the plan pro-
posed of a general library. Want of space
forbids a further discussion of the plan.
Let the subject be brought to the attention
of superintendents and teachers and the
friends of Sunday schools.
A newspaper was published in Morristown
prior to the Palladiitm of Liberty, called the
Genius of Liberty. Some files, perhaps the
whole of it, may be in the possession of
some one who would be willing to donate it
to the Library, or, at least, place it at the
disposal of the editor of The Record, for a
short time. A favor will be conferred if this
can be done. It is hoped that, by an ex-
amination of its colums, in connection with
those of the Palladiutn of Liberty, some de-
fective registries of deaths and marriages
may be restored. Some of these, about the
time of the publication of these two papers,
are missing.
There were not many newspapers pub-
lished, in this country at the close of the
last centurj^ ; but there were a number suf-
ficeut to show that they had become a
necessity and that the cammunity was a
reading one. The citizens of Morris County,
in Revolutionary times, were overwhelm-
ingly Whig in their political sentiments.
They had no organ, so far as is known,
through which to express their views. For
news, they depended, generally, on papers
published in the city of New York. The
principal one, printed there, was called
Rivington's Gazette, which was published
i6
THE RECORD.
before and during the Revolution. It
was intensely loyal to King and Parlia-
ment. Some of its utterances, indeed its
general tone, gave great offence to the
Whigs of Morris County, during the excit-
ing period, just before the breaking out of
the war between the Colonies and the
mother country. The paper and its editor
were denounced in the severest terms, the
paper burnt with great indignity, an effigy
of the proprietor tairedand feathered, and
other measures taken to show the disgust
telt at the sentiments uttered by the pub-
lisher.
These facts give occasion for some state-
ments about newspapers, which are taken
from the Portland "New Northwest."
The first daily newspaper printed in the
world, was published and edited by a
woman named Elizabeth Mallet, in London,
in 1702. In her address to the public she
announced as her reason for publishing a
newspaper, that she desired •' to spare the
public half the impertinences which the or-
dinary papers contain." It was to her
credit that like most enterprizes under-
taken by women, her paper was leformatory
in its character.
The first paper published in America was
in Massachusetts. It was called the Massa-
chusetts Gazette and News Letter. After
the death of the editor his widow edited it
for two or three years in the most spirited
manner. It was the only paper that did not
suspend publication when Boston was be-
sieged by the British. The widow's name
was Margaret Craper.
In 1732, Rhode Island issued its first
newspaper. It was owned and edited by
Anna Franklin. She and her two daugh-
ters did the printing and their servants
worked the printing press. History tells
us that for her quickness and correctness
she was appointed printer to the Colony,
supplying pamphlets, &c., to the colonial
officers. She also printed an edition of the
colonial laws of 340 pages.
In 1776, Sarah Goddard printed a paper in
Newport, R. I., ably conducting it; after-
wards associating with her John Carter.
The firm was announced as Sarah Goddard
& Co., she taking the partnership prece-
dence as was proper and right.
In 1782 Clementine Reid published a paper
in Virginia, lavoring the colonial cause and
greatly offending the Royalists, and two
years after, another paper was started in the
interests of the Crown by Mrs. H. Boyle,
who borrowed the name of Mrs. Reid's
paper, which was the Virginia Gazette ;
but Mrs. Boyle's paper was short lived.
Both of the papers were published in the
town of Williamsburg. The colonial paper
was the first newspaper in which the Decla-
ration of Independence was printed.
In 1773, Elizabeth Timothy published and
edited a paper in Charleston, S. C. After
the Revolution, Anne Timothy became its
editor, and was appointed State printer,
which position she held seventeen years.
Mary Crouch published a paper in Charles-
ton about the same time, in special opposi-
tion to the Stamp act. She afterwards re-
moved her paper to Salem. Mass., and con-
tinued its publication there for years after.
Louis Richards, Esq., of Reading, Penna.,
has gathered much information and many
facts about the genealogy of the Richards
family in America. Through his kindness
much of this information has been placed
at the disposal of the Record.
It will be used for a sketch of the Rev.
Dr. James Richards, former pastor of the
church, which will appear in the March
number.
In the meantime a great favor will be
conferred if ?kX\y one will furnish facts, an-
ecdotes or other information about Dr.
Richards. It is desirable to place cor-
rectly upon record these sketches of the
men, who have ministered to the church.
Information received from Hon. A. W.
Cutler settles a matter about which there
was no certain knowledge at the time the
article in the last number of the Record,
relative to Silas Condict, was written.
The house now occupied by Mr. Cutler was
built by his great grand father, Mr. Condict,
and in it he actually lived. The building
was erected by Mr Cutler's father, Gen.
Cutler, for Mr. Condict.
The house has been altered and improved
by its present occupant, but the main build-
ing still remains.
Solidity in houses as well as in character
marked the times of our ancestors.

A new order of service was introduced at
the first Sunday' evening worship, in Febru-
ary. This was the result of unanimous ac-
tion on the part of the session. The service
was certainly a success. It has been con-
tinued to this time and for the present will
be retained in the evening worship of the
church. The order of service and the
church calendar for February and March,
1883, appear in this issue of the Record.
The rebound, at the outset of the Puritan
Revolution in England, from what many
deemed to be prelatical formalism, was so
great as to carry the reformers to the op-
posite extreme. An excess of reform is
sometimes a greater evil than the mischief
intended to be remedied. Zeal is not al-
ways controlled by wisdom. The severe
simplicity of worship introduced into
Scotland by the Covenanters, and into Eng-
land by the Puritans and brought to this
country by the Pilgrim Fathers, served its
purpose. It was a necessity when first in-
troduced, but the time for that necessity
has passed. The Covenanter, the Puritan,
250 I the Pilgrim Fathers were grand men : they
250 worked out a great revolution, grander in
its results than they dreamed ; but they
would be sadly out of place now. Their in-
fluence lingers with us yet, but it is temper-
ed by a warmer heart, a kindlier spirit than
coyld possibly have existed in their time,

THE RECORD.
They accomplished the purpose for which
God intended them. We are of a different
mould, and live in a different atmosphere
and must work on a loftier plane, for the
same great end, it is true, but with more
various means. They broke the sod, lev-
elled the primeval forest, met the stern real-
ities of the first years of a radical reform.
We are plucking the fruit from trees of
their planting ; we are reaping the har-
vest of their sowing; we are lejoicing in
the peaceful years which follow their rug-
ged, stormy times. They could not avoid
harshness, sternness. It was an absolute
necessity lor Ihem to repress the softer
promptings of human nature, and that le-
pression extending, as it did, to the whole
of their life, went, of course, into their wor-
ship. They believed as implicitly in the
necessity for all this as they did in their ex-
istence. We are the better for it and they
must ever be foremost in our love and in
our admiration, as the men who laid the
foundations of religious reform which has
given us so many blessings.
But Presbyterianism, while always rejoic
ing in, and clinging tenaciously to, a simple
order of service, is neither puritanical, nor
is it bound by the harsh severe rules which,
some centuries since, seemed right to the
Scotch Covenanters, and was right then.
There can be no good reason why Presby-
terians should not enjoy a liturgy or liturgi-
cal exercises.
There is, however, no intention to offer
an excuse for the apparent innovation.
Whatever is right in any church is right in
the Presbyterian. Let but the heart join
the intellect in the praise and worship of
God, and it matters little in what form that
praise and worship may be rendered. Sim-
plicity has its merits; forms and ceremo-
nies have theirs. A happy blending of both
may encourage, may strengthen, may edify.
Christians ; may give voice to heartfelt de-
votion, where the others might freeze, or
might disgust. The cold, barren worship
which chills and benumbs, is as much to be
avoided as the gorgeous and unmeaning.
Ritualism, which detracts from the worship
due to the Creator and leads poor humanity
to forget Deity in candles and genuflexions.
The service, as rendered at the Sunday
evening meetings, has been most enjoy-
able. Minister and people have heartily en-
tered into its spirit. The choir, under the
admirable training of Mrs. Halsted, has
added much to its interest and impressive-
ness.

THE NEW YORK GAZETTE AND AMERI-
CAN ADVERTISER
Is A venerable looking affair. A bound
volume of a portion of its issues, although in
a moderately good state of preservation, in
some respects, presents, as it lies before us,
a weather stained appearance, and is a di-
lapidated representative of the Public Press
of the last century. The initial number of
the first volume was published January 4,
1776, and was "printed for Samuel Loudon,
10 Water Street, between the Coffee House and
the Old Slip." It appeared weekly. In the
centre, at the top of the first page, is the
picture of a packet-ship, with all sails set,
as if either ready to sail, or actually on the
Ocean. The Declaration of Independence
had not yet been proclaimed, and an exami-
nation of any editorial utterances do not
give evidence as to the course the editor
had determined to pursue in the conflict,
which had been precipitated upon the coun-
try in the preceeding j'^ear, by the gun fired
at Lexington. Of course Mr. Loudon could
not anticipate the magnitude which that
conflict afterwards assumed. The publisher
of a newspaper in those days and for many
years afterwards, never assumed the posi-
tion of an editor ; he was simply the printer,
and in looking over the pages of the Gazette
it is noticeable that all communications are
addressed " Mr. Printer."
In his address to the public, the publish-
er, among other things, says : " He will be
extremely happy to have it in his power to
convey, thro' the channel of this paper, to-
gether with useful intelligence, foreign and
domestic, any considerations, that may il-
lustrate and animate the glorious cause of
constitutional liberty and at the same time
pour medicine into the bleeding wounds of
the Extended Empire. For this purpose he
most earnestly invites the Friends of Amer-
ica and the British Constitution, to favor
him with their kind assistance. Much has
been said on the important controversy, that
now engages the attention of all Europe;
but the subject is not yet exhausted ; there
is sufficient scope for new discussion."
William Tryon was then Governor of
New York, and in the first number of this
paper^a proclamation from this loyal officer
of the Crown appears, dissolving the Gene-i
ral Assembly of New York, which had be-
fore been prorogued to the first of Febru-
ary then next. This proclamation is attest-
ed " in the sixteenth year of our Sovereign
Lord, George the Third, by the grace of God
of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King,
Defender of the faith and so forth." At its
close appears the usual formula, " GoD Save
THE King."
In the same number is to be found an ad-
vertisement, offering for sale " a valuable
Negro Man, by trade a blacksmith, about
25 or 26 years old. He will be sold on mod-
erate terms."
Although the editor does not openly ex-
press his views on the all absorbing ques-
tion of the day, it is quite easy to determine
in what direction his real sentiments tend.
He must have been a Whig, for his leanings
are very decidedly manifested in many ways
towards the cause of the colonies. But it
was a time when prudence seemed to be
the better course for men, situated as he
was, to follow, so, at first, he ventured no
decided expression of opinion. There were a
large number of Tories in the city, although
the Whigs were very largely in the majority.
Tryon was still in command for the King
as Governor, but he was soon obliged to
leave the city and take refuge on board of
an English ship in the harbor. It was
about this time that Isaac Sears, who had
before removed to New Haven, came to
the city with a hundred men or more,
moved at the head of his troops, in perfect
order, down Broadway to the foot of Wall
street, where was the printing office of
Rivington's Gazetteer, which had so excited
the wrath of Morris county Whigs. Sears
sacked the office, captured the type and
carried it off to be cast into bullets. Lord
Dunmore, the Royal Governor, of Virginia,
had just before that confiscated a Whig
newspaper in Norfolk. Sears with a grim
humor quite characteristic of the man, gave
Rivington an order on the V^irginia Gover-
nor for a new supply of type. The draft
was never honored. The true name of this
Tory paper was " Riin'ngton's New Yor/c
Gazetteer, or the Connecticut, Hudson's
River, New Jersey and Quebec Weekly Ad-
vertiser." It had been outspoken in its
loyal utterances and had, really, laid itself
open to the attack made upon it. as it had

gone beyond the bounds of moderation and
had been bold, violent and aggressive.
The New York Packet, whatever may
have been its political sentiments, impar-
tially reported the debates in Parliament and
the proceedings of the Continental Con-
gress.
Unfortunately the bound volume of the
Packet to which access has been had, is im-
perfect, ending with the issue of the first
volume which appeared August 29, 1776.
The rest of the volume is made up of that
part of Vol. 7 which began with No. 321
and ended with No. 450, which last number
was issued December 30, 1784. Numbers
321 to 332 inclusive were published at Fish-
kill, but from No. 333 to No. 450 the issues
are dated in New York from No. 5 Water
street "between the Coffee House and the
Old Slip." With No. 333 began a semi-
weekly publication, the paper appearing on
Mondays and Thursdays.
Some of the advertisements are curious,
and exhibit a method of conducting affairs
then, quite unknown to business men of the
present day. Richard Edsall, the 3d, confin-
ed in gaol, in Orange County, for debt,
" take this method to notify his creditors
that he intends to apply to the Legislature
at their next meeting for an act to discharge
him from his confinement." Comfort and
Joshua Sands inform their friends that they
have at their store in the house formerly
occupied by Isaac Sears, Esquire, for sale on
the lowest terms, among other goods, the
following queer assortment : " Brimstone,
Wool, Hats, Frying pans, Shovels and
Spades, Bohea Tea."
Occasionally a notice is made of New Jer-
sey and of some localities in the State. A
sermon, preached by the Rev. John With-
erspoon, the President of the College of
New Jersey, is advertised for sale by this
Printer ; a robbery at New Brunswick is
noticed, and the capture of the thief is sta-
ted with great s.itisfaction. In the issue of
December 6th, 1784, a letter from Trenton,
N. J., dated December i, is published, which
speaks of the meeting, at that town, of the
Congress of the United States on the Mon-
day preceeding. The delegates from this
State were William Churchill Houston and
John Beatty. At this meeting Richard
Henry Lee was elected President. The next
number announces this, " his excellency P.
I. Van Berckel, Minister Plenipotentiary
from the United Netherlands, has arrived at
Trenton." This gentleman built a house at
Newark, afterwards occupied by the Penn-
ington family, at least, so runs the tradition.
It was a quaint frame building, with a large
wide hall, capacious rooms, and with an ap-
pearance differing materially from other
buildings in Newark. It was situate on the
west side of Broad street, just north of
South Park Presbyterian Church. It has
long since given place to a more modern
built edifice with modern improvements.
There are many advertisements and mat-
ters of interest in this venerable relic of the
last century, to which reference may here-
after be made.
The South street Presbyterian church
have initiated a movement which will, un-
doubtedly, commend itself to all teachers
in the schools of the church. This move-
ment really begins with the Sunday school
and is undoubtedly due to the suggestion
of its superintendent, Mr. J. F. Randolph.
A series of five lectures, upon subjects, in
which all Sunday schools are directly in-
terested, has been begun. The first in the
course was delivered Wednesday evening,
February 7th, on Christian Biography, by
the Rev. Kinsley Twining and was of course,
admirable. The second on Church His-
tory will be delivered March 7, and will be
succeeded by the others, as follows : Chris-
tian doctrine, by F. G. Burnham, Esq.,
April 4th ; Christian Duty, A. F. West, A.
M., May 2d ; and Christian Devotion, by
Rev. Albert Erdman, D.D., pastor of the
church, June 6; the programme published
calls them-" Conferences on Sunday Read-
ing," and states that they are to be held in
the Bible class room, at 8 P. M. The object
is to afford information to teachers and oth-
ers on these various subjects and espe-
cially to instruct in a course of reading
from which that information can be obtain-
ed. The plan is an admirable one and wor-
thy of imitation by all Sunday schools.
The promised sketch of the life of Dr.
James Richards must be postponed until the
next issue. Want of time prevents full jus-
tice being done to the subject.
22
THE RECORD.
Sunday schools have assumed such pro-
portions and struck their roots so deep
into the soil of the church that they must
now be considered permanent institutions.
Their importance is an established fact.
They deserve and should receixe all the
care which the church can possibh'^ afford
them. Tne title of "School of the Church"
is an admirable one and should not merely
in name, but in the whole spirit and mean-
ing of the title, be applied to them. They
should be schools of the Church in real ear-
nest, subject to the supervision ;ind under
the control of the proper authorities of the
several churches with which they are con-
nected. This supervision, this control
should not be merely nominal but subsist-
ing and substantial.
The tendency in Americans, of all classes,
toward the expenditure of great energy,
sometimes at the utmost possible expense
of mind and body, in any direction which,
for the time, seizes upon the public, either
by way of fashion or taste, is so marked and
often so detrimental as to requite repres-
sion. Religion does not, perhaps unfortu-
nately, suffer too often nor too much from
the expression of this tendency. But it
may, and great care is needed to preserve it
and its adjuncts from this apparent ten-
dency of the times. This tendency has ex-
hibited itself, in a measure, in this matter
of Sunday schools.
Much maybe said in favor of conventions
and something may be said against them.
Ought not a fear to be indulged and a
warning given that undue efforts in this di-
rection may exhaust the energies of teach-
ers and of the friends of Sunday schools in
the multiplicity of conventions .'
This suggestion is made with some hesi-
tation, but with the hope that it may be re-
ceived in the same spirit in which it fs
given.
K proposition has been made to divide
the State into districts and hold conven-
tions in these districts, instead of having a
great State convention as heretofore. A
meeting of some of the pastors and super-
intendents in town was held last Friday
evening to discuss this subject. This dis-
trict plan may be excellent ; it is still un-
tried. County conventions are exceedingly
useful and perhaps all that are necessary I jesus.
for the main object. They bring neighbors
and friends together face to face at a place,
some quiet country village or town, where
great good may be accomplished by intro-
ducing new thoughts, new methods of
teaching, by waking up dormant faculties,
by the attrition of mind with mind. What
is needed in this undertaking, as in all oth-
ers, when good is to be accomplished, is
honest, sincere, persistent, loving ac-
tion, here, in the school, among scholars,
and if in conventions, among the teachers.
A great State convention is unwieldy,
burdensome upon teachers and their enter-
tainers, expensive and really accomplishes
nothing like what may be done at county
conventions held at points where just such
meetings are most desirable. A day spent
at a small meeting such as would be gath-
ered in the various counties, is worth the
two or three days generally employed at
the State conventions.
South Orange, Feb. 4th. 1883.
Mr. Editor :
Last evening marked a new era in the
history of the South Orange Presbyterian
Church. Its beautiful new brown stone ed-
ifice was dedicated to the service of Al-
mighty God. with appropriate services.
The exercises were conducted by the Rev.
John Crowell, D. D. Several clergymen
participated in the services. The prayer
invocation was offered by the moderator of
the meeting ; Scripture lessons were read
by the Rev. J. A. Ferguson, and the Rev.
Samuel Sargent ; the dedicating prayer
was made by the Rev. Alfred Yeomans,
D. D., and the other praye.-^ bj^ the Rev.
Joseph A. Ely. The sermon was preached
by the Rev. J. H. Worcester, Jr., the retiring
pastor, from the text " Th/s is none other
than the House of God." Delightful music,
appropriate to the occasion, was rendered
by the choir.
The new structure is beautiful and cheer-
ful, has a commanding position and cost
about $20,000. It lacks an element of suc-
cess, however, — a settled pastor. With a
true man of God, and the blessing of a
descent of the Holy Spirit, the good people
who gather to worship within its walls,
may be assured of that success which must
always attend those who have faith in

PULPIT ECHOES. No. 2
Unfortunately we are all likely to over-
look the mules on our own faces, unless a
mirror from God's word is held before our
eyes.
In some lights a cobweb looks like a cur-
tain of steel wire, bright, flexible and airy,
but stout and impenetrable. So many a
one stays in the dark corner of doubt, refus-
ing to come out into light and liberty, be-
cause he fancies that he cannot break
through the barrier which separates him
from Christ ; when, in reality, that barrier
is only the cobweb of his ow^n wilful fancies.
The cause of religion suffers, but it will
not perish, because of the doubting Tho-
mases who stay away from meeting and the
timid souls who, after touching the hem of
our Lord's garment for blessing, mope in
the secret tumult of hope and fear off on
the edge of duty.
The church and cause of the Lord Jesus
Christ goes on its knees to no man or wo-
man for the purpose of begging the honor
of his name or the weight of her influence.
Secret faith and all the good resolutions
in the world, if brought out for airing only
in the privacy of our innermost thoughts,
will not have very much effect on our moral
standing in the eyes of men or of God. So
long as one's Sunday clothes are kept in a
dark closet one does not mind how much
mud there is in the streets.
It is no wonder that we have had to
mourn over the coffins of many good reso-
lutions. There was really no chance for
the little things to live. How can we live
up to our holiest aspirations, when we suf-
focate them at their birth .''
Who is the meaner sort of hypocrite : the
one who openly promises good and secretly
laments his backslidings ; or the one who
makes secret vows to God and publicly sits
on the fence ?
There is good reason to suspect the man
who knows himself so little as to start in
the Christian life with the assertion. " It
matters not what others may do, but I mean
to hold out to the end." When that man
stumbles he falls over his own feet, his chief
prop is gone ; he has put confidence in him-
self, and there is d^^nger that he will con-
clude there can be no more religion for him,
because he can no longer trust himself.
There were some spectators at the Sa-
viour's cross who were deeply touched with
cotnpassio.i and roused to heroism, by the
meekness of the Lamb of God in the shame
of his crucifixion and the agonies of his tor-
ture. Two of them are particularly named,
Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus.
They appear only in what may be called
flashes of light. But these brief flashes
make their position and character stand out
in striking vividness. Both are rich men,
prominent in the councils of the Jews, ear-
nest seekers after truth, and yet, like 'their
class everywhere, cautious, conservative,
slow to commit themselves and hazard
either social standing or property to the
uncertanties of a new movement, although
this movement wins the sympathy of their
hearts and receives their secret aid.
At the very beginning of his ministry
Jesus was sought by Nicodemus ; but at
night, for fear of the Jews. Afterwards this
rich ruler disappears from the page, envel-
oped in so prolonged a shadow that we nnght
think him turned away sorrowful, unbeliev-
ing and unyielding, except for his appear-
ance after the crucifixion as a bold and true
mourner of the now lifeless Master.
Joseph of Arimathea, we are told, was a
disciple of Jesus ; but he, too, has given
only secret adherence, for fear of the Jews.
Not till he could no longer escape the
avowal of his position, did he begin to show
boldness in the cause of the Nazarene. It
is said to his honor that he did not consent
to the counsel and deed of the elders in
sentencing Jesus to death. By that oppo-
sition he gave unmistakable evidence of his
favorable disposition towards the despised
Messiah. And now, as he watches in sor-
row before the cross, from which his tardy
courage and confession could not save the
Master, he is perhaps the first to observe
the last flicker of life and the drooping sig-
nal of death in the beloved form. At an^'
rate, Joseph is the first to bring word to
Pilate that " the king of the Jews " no lon-
ger lives.
No hesitation chills the zeal of these two
now for the cause whose sun has set. For
the lukewarm spirit they shewed when their
enthusiasm might have given success, they

apparent failure marks the end of the Naz- ,
arene's career. So it is to-daj'. It is not i
Christ the teacher; it is not Christ the
iniracle-worker ; it is not Christ the model
example: but Christ the suffeiing Son of
God, dying upon the cross, th.it at last
breaks down the opposition of the selfish
human heart to his love, and driws those
most absorbed in worldliness away from the
world, to honor the precious name of him
who loved them and gave himself to death
for them.
What is the duty of Christian churches
in answer to the question, what shall be
done to stop the growth of intemperance ?
That this awful vice is growing, statistics
unquestionably and fearfully prove. The
teachings of the church of Christ are un-
doubtedly opposed to the habit which has
destroyed so many lives and wrecked so
many souls. The solving of the problem
troubles thoughtful minds and oppresses
the true lover of his kind.
But what shall be done.' It is well to
think and plan, but action is required. The
pulpit utterances are fearless, but what
shall be said about the action of individual
Christians.' The pastor may teach and
preach but his hearers must act.
The State provides Alms Houses to re-

Take down the fading wreaths,
Untwine the garlands gay.
Though the glad lime we hung them up.
Seems but as yesterday.
And from their crumbling leaves
We still can almost hear
The echoes of the Carols sweet,
And greetings of New Year.
But ah I too well we know
The festive season's o'er ;
For treading in life's dusty paths
We find ourselves once more.
Swifter than the wheels of steam
The golden hours have rolled ;
And while we deemed the year was young
We wake to find it old.
Now clear above the din
Of earthly toil and care.
We hear once more in solemn tone
The Lenten call to prayer.
Bidding us turn from pleasure's sound,
A higher joy to find
In fellowship with Him whose death
Gave life to all mankind.
Thus do the years go on.
And times and seasons glide ;
Till soon the story of our life
Is closed and laid aside.
Yes, since the New Year's dawn
How many a soul has gone
From scenes of earth-to realms unseen,
Whose record here is done.
Ah I life's a mystic page !
In vain we try to scan
The hidden thought between the lines.
God's purposes to man.
Like children in the dark
'Tis ours to meekly stand
And wait in hope the eternal morn,
Clasping a father's hand.

the chapel on the afternoon of March 13th
last. Mr. John Whitehead acted as chair-
man and Mr, James R. Voorhees, the clerk
of the parish, as secretary. The pastor
was present and invoked the Divine bles-
sing. The usual reports of the trustees and
treasurer were read. That of the latter, be-
ing the more important, is printed in full.
The following named gentlemen were

with that persistent energy, which marked
all his efforts in whatever he undertook, he
examined with great care some files of old
newspapers he found in the possession of
Mr. Monroe Howell, then living at Troy in
this county. An asterisk appended to a name
in the Registery denotes that the name is
taken from the^files of the old newspapers
thus examined and may not be in the Re-

The name of William Goble appears twice
in the list of marriages, on the same day,

is attached to one of these entries ; which
means that that marriage was taken from
the newspaper ; the other was taken from
the church registery. Probably the bride
may have been an adopted daughter, and in
one case gave her own name, while in the
other, her adopted father's name was taken.
But this is mere suggestion.

Asterisks will be found appended to
some of the names appearing in the Regis-

spared no pains to present as far as possible,
a correct record. To secure this perfection
REV'D. JAMES RICHARDS. D. D.
Dr. Richards was the third settled pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church at Mor-
ristown. He succeeded the Rev. Aaron
Collins, who was for a few years, the asso-
ciate of Dr. Timothy Johnes. Mr. Collins
was dismissed September 2, 1793, and Dr.
Richards was settled 1795 and remained in
charge of the church for fourteen years
and until April 26, 1809.
The Richards family is of Welsh origin
and emigrated early to this country.
Branches of the family are to be found to-
day in New England, New York and Penn-
sylvania, and doubtless in other parts of
the United States. A German family who
also early came to America have Angli-
cised their name, now calling themselves
Richards. The original German is Reichert
or Reichard, This must not be confounded
with that from which Dr. Richards sprang.
His ancestor, who came to New England in
his early youth, was undoubtedly of Welsh
origin. His name was Samuel Richards ;
he served in the British army in Canada
against the French in the reign of Queen
Anne, it is said. When his term of service
expired he settled in Connecticut near Stam-
ford. The exact date of this settlement can-
not be ascertained, but it must have been
very early in the i8th century or at the
THE RECORD.
close of the 17th. It was probably as early
as some date in the 17th century. Queen
Anne succeeded William III. in 1702. War
had been raging in North America between
the English and French for several years
prior to the accession of Anne. Samuel
Richards was a youth of eighteen years when
he emigrated from Wales. Dr. Richards
was the fourth in descent from this Welsh
soldier, the originator of the family in this
country, and was born October 29, 1767, at
New Canaan, in Connecticut. His father
whose name was also James, became a cap-
tain in the Continental army during the
Revolution. The father was a fair repre-
sentative of New England yeomanry;
when a demand was made upon his patri-
otism he responded with alacrity ; when the
necessity for action for his country ceased,
he at once resumed his peaceful avocations
and served her in another direction. He
was a farmer, a man of sound, common
sense and held in estimation by his neigh-
bors for social and Christian virtues. The
subject of this sketch was the eldest of nine
children, four of whom survived him. His
mother's name was Ruth Hanford, and to
her he seems to have been much indebted
for many of the prominent characteristics
which so enriched his nature. She was a
woman of uncommon merit. The idea pre-
valent among many, that much of great
men's mental strength is due to their moth-
ers, was fully proved in the case of Dr.
Richards. His mother was of strong intel-
lect, of ardent piety and was uncompromis-
ing in the performance of duty. At the
time of the birth of her children, parental
authority in the family was paramount, and
implicit obedience was demanded from the
younger members. They were expected to
obey and did obey. Parents did not then
love their children less, nor were the chil-
dren less affectionate than now. The
household looked up to father and mother
as heads and directors, and no question
could be made when command came from
them.
James Richards was a very precocious
boy, fond of study, but of such delicate con-
stitution that it was feared that he would
not be able to submit to the necessary pri-
vations and hardships then involved in a
student's life. The advantages then within
reach of a youth, even though possessed of
sufficient means to enable him to pursue a
course of study, however great those means
might be, were very limited compared with
those which may now be obtained by even
the poorest. The parents of Dr. Richards
did not seem to have had the pecuniary
ability to afford their eldest born the means
of availing himself of even the slender op-
portunities for intellectual improvement
which the country then possessed. He was
not daunted by these hindrances, but early
resolved to avail himself of all the appli-
ances for an education which could possibly
be found. His industry and perseverance
overcame every obstacle. His untiring en-
ergy must have been early developed, for it
is reported of him, that at the early age
of thirteen he had charge of a district
school. He was so successful in discharg-
ing his duties as teacher that he secured the
same school for a second winter. If this
fact were not well authenticated it would
seem almost incredible, but it is so well
proved that it cannot well be disputed.
The ideas gained by his service as princi-
pal of a school, only strengthened his de-
sire for an education. But his father could
not afford him the means, so, at the early
age of fifteen, he determined to select some
occupation for future use. Accordingly he
entered, as an apprentice, into the business
of cabinet and chair making, and also as a
house painter. But his plan for a future
avocation was soon interrupted by a severe
illness which obliged him to return to his
father's house. After his recovery he again
took up the occupation of cabinet making.
This was, however, abandoned, and in his
nineteenth year, with the full consent of his
master, he made preparations to pursue a
course of study with a view of entering the
ministry.
Like all New England youth of his day
he had been piously educated, had been
taught the Catechism and to repeat hymns,
texts from the Scriptures, and indeed, had,
at one time in his early youth, memorized
entire chapters of the Bible. But he had
never considered himself a subject of the
forgiving grace of Christ, until he had pas-
sed his eighteenth year. He then gave the
most hopeful evidences of his having be-
come a true Christian. Soon after this and
28
THE RECORD.
on the 17th September, 1786, he united
with the Congregational Church at Stam-
ford, and by his earnest zeal and pious ef-
forts to promote all Christian work, and to
stimulate the Congregation to a higher in-
terest in all religious matters, he ver3^ soon
satisfied others that he should be aided in
attaining the dearest object of his heart,
that he might enter the Christian ministry.
His pastor and many friends strongly ad-
vised his preparation for that office. Ac-
cordingly he proposed to enter College and
studied for that purpose under the Rev.
Justus Mitchell. In the fall of 1789 he en-
tered Yale College, but was soon obliged to
leave for the want of funds. In his prepa-
tion he was aided, in his studies, by Dr.
Burnett, of Norwalk, and materially by two
excellent ladies, who were relatives, Sarah
and Phebe Comstock. These ladies never
withdrew their helping hands so long as he
needed their aid.
After being obliged to leave college he
determined that it was impossible for him
to pursue a regular collegiate course of
study, so he abandoned that plan, but only
10 take advantage of the means which were
within his reach. He pursued his studies
with Dr. Burnett at Norwalk and with Dr.
Dwight at the " Greenfield Hill," school.
These difficulties and the still more depres-
sing one, arising from frequent and piostra-
ting illness, did not deter him from his pur-
pose. Amid them all he persevered until
in 1793 he was licensed to preach
by the Association in the Western
District of Fairfield County in Connecticut.
His first sermon after his license to preach,
was delivered in the pulpit of his old friend
and preceptor, the Rev. Dr. Burnett, of
Norwalk, in compliance with a special re-
quest made to the former pupil of the
good Dr. Mr. Richards for a few Sabbaths
preached at Wilton, near Norwalk, and then
made a short engagement with the church
at Ballston, in New York. He was at this
last named place certainly in December,
1793. Soon after this he went to Long Is-
land and there took charge of two small
congregations, one at Sag Harbor and the
other at Shelter Island. The Rev. N. S.
Prime in his history of Long Island, pays a
warm tribute to Mr. Richards for his minis-
tery while at these two places. This tri-
bute is the more striking as the time which
was employed by Mr. Richards on Long Is-
land was very brief, for early in 1794, he was
invited to visit the church and congrega-
tion at Morristown. This invitation was'
the result of the very strong recommenda-
tions of the young pastor given by the
Rev'd Dr. Buelof East Hampton, and by the
Rev. Aaron Woolworth of Bridgehamton,
who was the son-in-law of Dr. Buel. These
two clergymen, especially Dr. Buel, strongly
commended Mr. Richards to Dr. Timothy
Johnes. The Rev. Mr. Collins, the associate
of Dr. Johnes, was dismissed in the pre-
ceding year, and the congregation had been
in great difficulty arising from its relations
with that gentleman. The position was
one of great delicacy and involved great re-
sponsibility, but the young pastor was equal
to the task. There seems to be some diffi-
culty in establishing some dates relative to
events in the life of Mr. Richards hap-
pening at this period. Mr. Gridiey, in his
biography, says that he was invited in May,
1794, to visit Morristown ; Louis Richards,
Esq., whose notes, relative to the Richards
family, are very full, states that he was
called to the pastoral charge of the church
in Morristown, in June, 1794. Both of these
gentlemen agree that he was not installed
until May, 1797. The Record, Vol. I., No. i,
gives the date of his settlement as May i,
1795. Mr. Barnes, in his church manual,
published in 1828, says he was installed " as
pastor May i, 1795," by the Presbytery of
New York.
The church seems then to have been in
ecclesiastical relations with what was call-
ed the Presbytery of New York, and the
installation took place at a stated meeting
of that body. In November, 1794, Mr.
Richards married Miss Caroline Cowles,
daughter of James Cowles, of Farmington,
Connecticut.
At the time Mr. Richards assumed the
pastorate Dr. Johnes was still living, but he
died very soon after, in September, 1794.
The young pastor, therefore, must have had
the entire charge of the congregation, from
the very beginning of his ministry here. It
was a very difficult duty imposed upon him.
The congregation was large, the parish ex-
tensive, and the state of feeling arising
from the unfortunate position in which it

29
had been left by the action of Mr. Collins,
all combined to make the task of the new-
pastor a laborious and responsible one.
But his wisdom and good, sound sense en-
abled him successfullj' to meet all the exi-
gencies of the situation. He was untiring
in the performance of all ministerial duties,
but did not lose his interest in literature
and scientific pursuits. His attainments in
mental culture had been so great that in
1794 he received the degree ot Bachelor of
Arts from Yale College, and in iSoi the
trustees of Princeton college conferred on
him the honorary title of Master of Arts.
In 1805 he became Moderator of the Gen-
eral Assembly of the Presb)'terian church,
a very great honor, when it is remembered
that he was then but thirty-seven years of
age.
While at Morrist:jwn three distinct and
powerful revivals of religion marked his
ministry. The first occurred in 1799. the
second in 1803 and 1804, and the third in
1808. At the first more than a hundred
were added to the church. Mr. Rich-
ards seemed to have regarded the last of
these seasons with the most favor. In
1828 he wrote to Mr. Barnes, who was then
pastor of the church, in which he referred
to these three revivals, but spoke of the
third " as the most precious."
In April. 1809, he received a call from the
First Presbyterian Church at Newark, which
he accepted, removing to his new field of
labor in May of the same year. This action
does not seem to have been the result of any
dissatisfaction, either with pastor or people.
There was mutual love between them. Mr.
Richards never spoke, nor wrote of his peo-
ple at Morristown, but in the very warmest
and most affectionate terms. Just before
his death he wrote to a member of the
church here in these words : " Never
was a minister more hafipy with his peo-
ple than I with mine dtiring the fifteen
years I spent atnong you. With you I was
willing to live and with you I expected to die."
These sentiments he more than once re-
peated. But his expenses were increased, a
growing family involved greater outlay, the
health of !Mrs. Richards was precarious, and
he required additional salary. The people
did not feel- able to meet the additional bur-
then, and had declined to vote any increase
of salary, although, in anticipation of the
proposed change of pastorate, they after-
wards offered to do so. The refusal of the
congregation, at first, to increase the salary,
made no change whatever in the hearts of
either people or pastor towards each other.
Before it was known that the call from the
Newark church had been accepted a me-
morial, signed by seventy-one ladies ot the
congregation, was presented to their pastor
which closed with these words : " Whether
yov leave us or remain with us, you may rest
assured of our prayers for a blessitig on your
labors, and our best wishes for the happiness
and prosperity of yourself arid family."
This memorial fully showed the feeling of
love with which their pastor was regarded.
The difficulties attending the discharge of
his duties at Newark were of a different
character from those which met him at
Morristown, but they were of no ordinary
kind. The Newark church contained with-
in its membership some of the best minds
in the State. Dr, Griffin, whom Mr. Rich-
ards succeeded, was one of the foremost
men in the church. He was eloquent and
accomplished and had been most successful.
The membership, during his ministry, had
doubled ; when he entered the pulpit he
found two hundred communicants ; when
he left, after eight year's service, it had in-
creased to five hundred. All this Mr. Rich-
ards knew and fully appreciated. But he
trusted in a mightier power than could be
afforded by man.
In 181 1, the second Presbyterian church
was organized in Newark, the new congre-
gation being mainly gathered from that to
which Mr. Richards ministered. To this
new oiganization Mr. Richards gave not
only his full consent, but aided it with ad-
vice and counsel. An event happening in
the subsequent history of this new church,
evinced the wisdoai and true Christian
spirit of Mr. Richards. After an absence of
six years from Newark, a call was extended
to Dr. Griffin to become the pastor of this
Second church. This call became the sub-
ject of correspondence between the two
clergymen, and in all kindness and broth-
erly love these two men, differing so mate-
rially from each other, labored side by side
in the two congregations for several years.
While at Newark he was elected trustee
3°
THE RECORD.
of the College of New Jersey, and in 1812
in the very organization of the Theological
Seminary at Princeton he was appointed a
director. The position of trustee of the
college he held until he removed from the
State. In 1815 he received the degree of
Doctor of Divinity from two colleges,
Union and Yale. This was an honor which
at the time it was conferred, was a certain
evidence of moral and professional worth.
He remained in Newark fifteen years and
during that period received many tokens
of the respect and confidence with which
he was regarded by the church, in addition
to those already mentioned. He was for
several years secretary of the Educational
Society, and took a very deep interest in
the American Bible Society, which, in fact,
was largely indebted to him for its organi-
zation. Several revivals occurred during
his ministry in Newark, and the addition of
five hundred members to his church marked
the faithfulness and fervor of his efforts for
the salvation of sinners.
In 1819, Auburn Theological Seminary
was organized, and Dr. Richards, as he must
now be called, was regarded by its friends
and founders as the proper person to fill
one of its professorial chairs. One of them
was tendered to him very early in the his-
tory of the seminary, but was declined. In
1823, however, after a unanimous re-election,
he accepted the appointment, and remov-
ing there in October of that year, on Octo-
ber 29, 1823, his fifty-sixth birthday, he was
duly inaugurated professor of Christian
theology.
From this date to the time of his death
he was engaged in the performance of his
duties as professor. While connected with
the Seminary, he took a prominent part
in all of its Various interests, aiding it ma-
terially, not only in his Professor's Chair
by the tuition afforded to hundreds of
students, but by his efforts in various parts
of the country to place the seminary in
such position with reference to finances,
that there should be no fear for its future.
In whatever he undertook, for the advan-
tage of the institution, he was eminently
successful. Before his death the seminary
was placed in such a position that its use-
fulness in the church was assured beyond a
question.
Dr. Richards was not at the head of the
Seminary, but his sound judgment, his wise
action, and his commanding talents secured
him a pre-eminent position in the Faculty.
Dr. Richards died at Auburn, Aug. 2nd, 1843,
twenty years after his inauguration and in
the 76th year of his age. His death was ac-
knowledged as a public calamity by the
citizens of Auburn, and by the church.
Resolutions passed in different parts of the
country and by many public bodies, fully
attested the estimation in which this emi-
nent clergyman was held by all classes.
The personal appearance of Dr. Richaids
was striking and commanded universal re-
spect. In social life he was simple, digni-
fied, but courteous withal. Not a stain was
ever cast upon his irreproachable character
as a man, a citizen, or minister of the Gos-
pel. His name is a household word in the
families of the church at Morristown. His
former parishioners have perpetuated it by
giving it to their children. One of the
youngest ruling elders of the church to-day
bears it, and doubtless it will be borne by
many in future generations.
The debt of gratitude our church owes
him is great. He found it divided, despon-
dent ; he left it strong, united, aggressive.
He vivified it by his teachings, edified it by
his Christian doctrine, increased its mem-
bership, and leading it b}'^ his example, in-
cited it to every good work.
The memory of James Richards will ever
abide with us, cherished as one of our dear-
est possessions.
INTEMPERANCE.
The problem connected with this subject
is one which must be met by all patriots
and Christian phiianthopists. No citizen
can avoid individual responsibility either
by inattention or refusal to act. How shall
the problem be solved ? Of course all think-
ing men agree that intemperance is an evil
and should be repressed. But how shall
it be done? No question involves more
difficulty than this. Perhaps one part of the
difficulty arises from the want of courage.
The number of those who are engaged in the
business of selling liquors is small as com-
pared with the rest of the community. An-
other part of the difficulty arises from the
want of union among the friends of tempe-

ranee. Plans for the remedy of the evil of
intemperance are too numerous and the
proposers of these plans are too strenuous
in promoting their pet schemes to admit of
that hearty co-operation alwa^^s necessary
for the success of any important measure.
If any one plan could be adopted with
unanimity and prosecuted with courage
there is enough Christian sentiment and
Christian ability in the land to accomplish
all that is needed in this contest with evil.
But indecision on the part of many and dis-
union everywhere have paralyzed effort and
prevented success.
The strict Prohibitionist proposes simple
Prohibition. Refuse to license saloon and
tavern ; stop the traffic in liquor at once
and entirely ; make the sale of ardent spir-
its a crime ; even destroy the very manu-
facture of alcohol, says the Radical. As a
means to this end he proposes to carry this
great moral question into politics, submit
all candidates to strict inquiry as to their
sentiments, and vote only for those who
favor his peculiar views, or else to nominate
only those who are pledged to the support
of his plan. Another would introduce the
growth and culture of the vine, manufac-
ture cheap wines and present beverages
comparatively innoxious, for common use, at
such price that those who require them can
easily procure the apparently needed stimu-
lants. A third says, control, regulate the
traffic, throw around it such safeguards that
it may be deprived of its terrific power to
brutalize men ; keep it within such bounds
that its ability to destroy soul and body
may be lessened. Still another says the
laws now in force are sufficient for every
purpose ; put them in operation, bring to
bear upon the retailer of liquor, and all en-
gaged in the traffic, every lawful means
which the laws afford, to repress the evil ;
make saloon and tavern keeper amenable
to every provision which is to be found in
the Statute Book ; there is enough there
for all needed purposes ; if the law cannot
be enforced, then educate public opinion up
to the point where the community will de-
mand, imperatively, that the law shall have
full force. Still another says, let the exper-
iment of putting the present laws in force
be fully tested before any other plan be at-
tempted. If, after a fair trial be had, the
statutes now in force prove unavailing, then
pass other acts ; but until this be done do
not change the present status. And
still another plan is proposed. —
Throw open the traffic to all ; abolish
the license system : but impose a very
heavy tax on the seller ; oblige those who
sell liquor to place their saloons in public
places where they will be open to all, and
be strictly under the surveillance of the po-
lice. And still another says : Trust alone
to the teachings of the church ; this is a
great moral evil not to be reached by laws,
but only by an enlightened Christian senti-
ment which the church of Christ can alone
inculcate.
These various plans show the divergence
of opinion on this most important subject.
This evil is to be treated like all others in
some practical method. Which method is
the proper one is the question now before
the Christian public and must be met.
EASTER
Sunday, March 25, 1883, was celebrated in
most Christian churches as an anniversary
of the day on which the Resurrection of
the Savior took place. In many churches
there were service of song and praise and
gorgeous ritual. Flowers, rich and rare,
decked pulpit and chancel ; while, with cer-
emonies, grand and imposing, pious priest
and devout worshipper marked their ap-
preciation of the occasion.
The Resurrection of Christ was a grand
event and worthy ot our highest reverence.
Without it the Christian system would be
worthless and our hope of salvation vain.
But there is no historical proof that the day,
or even any day in the period, usually se-
lected to commemorate the event, is
an anniversary of the one on which it
actually occurred, nor is there any his-
torical evidence that the very early Chris-
tians ever celebrated any day in remem-
brance of the Resurrection. On the
contrary, such testimony as may be gained
from history is against the assumption that
there was any such custom. In fact, some
writers derive Easter from a festival, cele-
brated in the month of April by the Teu-
tonic race, in honor of Eostre or Ostara,
the Goddess of Spring. Easter, as a name,
undoubtedly, is taken from the title of this
32
THE RECORD.
Divinity. Bede gives this derivation of the
word and says that April was called the
Eostre-monath. The French give to the fes-
tival the name of Pasque ; the Greek church
call it Pascha ; and several branches of the
Latin church know it by a similar appella-
tion. Neither of these names is derived
directly, either from the Greek or Latin
language, but from the Hebrew in its Ara-
maic form, where it was used to denote the
Passover. A difference of opinion arose
very early in the Christian church on this
subject among the learned Fathers ; some
insisting that the word was derived from
the Greek verb, Paschein, to sicfjfer, while
others asserted that it was from the Hebrew.
The knowledge of this latter tongue among
the Anti-Nicene Fathers, was very limited.
The controversy is now at an end by the as-
sent of all scholars to the Hebrew deriva-
tion.
Socrates, the Greek church historian, who
continued the history of Eusebius, writing
in the 5th century, uses this language with
reference to this festival. "The Savior and
His Apostles have enjoined us, by no law,
to keep this feast, nor in the New Testa-
ment are we threatened with any penalty,
punishment, or curse for the neglect of it,
as the Mosaic law does the Jews. * *
The Apostles had no thought of appoint-
ing festival days, but of promoting a life of
blamelessness and piety, and it seems to me
that the feast of Easter has been introduced
into the Church from some old usage, just
as many other customs have been establish-
ed."
These quotations are taken from Book
v., chapter 22d of the history of Socrates,
where he enters quite largely into his own
views respecting the celebration of Easter.
Discussions arose, certainly as early as
the 3d century, as to the proper time of
Easter feasts. These discussions soon de-
generated into controversies, which were
characterized by great vehemence and acri-
mony, and assumed such importance that
Constantine, the Great, in A. D. 325 sub-
mitted this vexed question, as well as some
doctrinal disputes, which had divided the
chuich, to the great council, known as the
Nicene.
It certainly is a fair argument against the
idea that the Easter festival is derived from
Eostre or Ostara, the Teutonic Goddess ; to
sa}' that if Socrates be right, and the hol}"^
day had an existence in the Christian
church at the period about which he wrote ;
since the German had not then embraced
Christianity, it is more probable that the
Easter festival originated from the Jewish
observance of the Passover. This conclu-
sion is also confirmed by the Hebraic origin
of the word. It may be added in this con-
nection that the word Pascha is to be found
in the Septuagint translation of Exodus, 12,
27, where it denotes the Passover. This
translation was probably made 300 years B.
C. It must not be forgotten that the Res-
urrection actually took place at the time of
the Passover.
Let all this be as it ma}', no Christian,
who loves his Savior, should hesitate to
celebrate the Resurrection of that Savior,
an event so full to him of hope and promise,
even if there be doubt as to the day. Days
and times are of no account. Events,
such as the Resurrection of Jesus Christ,
mark eras in the history of man which are
not bounded by time, or divisions of time,
but extend over Eternity.

HON. GEORGE K. DRAKE-
Col. Jacob Drake, the father of George
K. Drake, was born at Piscataway, Middle-
sex county, April 21, 1732, and while yet a
3'oung man removed to Morris county, lo-
cating at Drakesville, then an unbroken
wilderness. His nearest neighbor was Gen.
Woodhull, who had made a settlement si-\
miles distant in the direction of Chester.
Indians were all about him. Here he built
the hotel property, now owned b)' Jeremiah
Baker and here he spent the most of his
life. He was a verj"- active and energetic
man, of fine physique, six feet in height and
very erect in his carriage, exceedingly neat
in his person and habits, punctilious in
meeting his engagements, generous and
hospitable. In illustration of his character,
it is said, he would discharge a workman
who would strike a blow after the signal had
sounded for dinner, and that when in his
last sickness he noticed from the window
some unsightly weeds growing by a fence,
he sent word to his man "Jimmy" to cut
them down at once. When told that Jimmy
was awa}'' but that the work would be at-
tended to in a few minutes, he replied, " I
may be dead in a few minutes." When the
difficulties between Great Britain and her
colonies became serious, Capt. Jacob Drake,
as he was then called, became at once one
of the leaders in the popular movement.
At the meeting ot the Freeholders of Morris
county, Jan. 9, 1775, presided over b}' Gen.
Winds, and which approved " the associa-
tion" of the Continental Congress, he was
made one of the committee of correspond-
ence. On Monday, May i, 1775, the Free-
holders of the county elected him one of
the nine delegates who were "vested with
the power of legislation" and directed " to
raise men, money and arms for the common
defence." These delegates in convention,
Aug. 12, directed another election Sept. 21,
for the choice of delegates to meet at Tren-
ton, October 3, and Col. Drake was one ol
the five so chosen. Again in Ma^^ 1776, an-

other general election was held by direction
of the Provincial Congress to choose del-
egates to a new convention, and Col. Drake
was again chosen one of the five from this
county, receiving 491 votes, a larger num-
ber than was cast for any other of the can-
didates. These frequent re-elections were
necessary in a body, ruling not under any
constitution but proceeding directly from
the people and thus receiving frequent en-
dorsements for their acts. This last con-
vention which assembled at Burlington,
June 10, approved July 2, the first constitu-
tion of this State and directed the manner
in which the first State Legislature should
be chosen. In this Legislature and in the
two succeeding ones, Col. Drake was one of
the representatives from Morris. Mean-
time two battalions of Militia had been rais-
ed and organized. The Eastern commanded
by Col. Jacob Ford, the Western by Col.
Drake, but the appointment of the latter to
the Legislature obliged him to resign his
colonelcy in 1776. Col. Drake was married
twice. By his first wife, Miss Charity
Young, he had one daughter, Mrs. Howell.
His second wife was Esther, daughter of
Capt. Peter Dickerson and the widow of
Mr. George King, of Morristown. To her
he was married Dec. 13, 1781, by Dr. Timo-
thy Johnes. They had six children, viz.:
Clarissa H., born Aug. 23, 1783, who mar-
ried Dr. Ebenezer Woodruff; Jacob B.
Drake, born May 5, 1786; Silas Drake, born
x^pril 10, 1790; George King Drake, born
Sept. 16, 1788; Peter Drake, born April 9,
1792, and Eliza Drake, born April 4,
1794. who married Dr. Absalom Woodruff.
After the war Col. Drake continued to re-
side at Drakesville, until about 181 1, when
he sold the hotel to Henr)^ Mooney and re-
moved to a house he had built at Succa-
sunna, afterwards occupied by Dr. Ebenezer
WoodruflF, where he died in September,
1823.
George K. Drake was born at Drakesville
and named after his mother's first husband,
who was the brother of Henr}' King of
Morristown and uncle of William L., Charles
and Jacob King. In the absence of neigh-
borhood schools he was placed by his father
under the care of the celebrated Rev. Amzi
Armstrong of Mendham. Here he un-
doubtedly received the strong religious bias
which ever after manifested itself in his life.
Under the tuition of Dr. Armstrong he fit-
ted for Princeton college, from which he
graduated in 1808, in the same class with
the late Bishop Meade, of Va., George Wood
and Judge Wayne of the LI. S. Supreme
Court. After graduation he begun at once
the study of law in the office of Sylvester
Russel, then one of the leading members of
the Morris county bar. In 1812 he was
licensed as attorney and began the practice
of his profession at Morristown. In 181 5
he was made Counselor and in 1834 Ser-
geant-at-Law. October 4, 181 5, he was
united in marriage to Mary Ailing Halsey.
daughter of Jacob Halsey of New York city,
and set up his house. In January, 1816, he
purchased from Israel Canfield a lot adjoin-
ing the Lewis Mills' property, where the
Bates' stores are now in Washington street,
and upon this he buiit his residence and had
his office. He soon established himself in
a fine practice, his well known integrity and
ability securing for him the business of the
leading men of the community. August
15, 1822, he united with the First
Presbyterian Church, then under the
pastoral care of Dr. McDowell, his wife
having united in May previous, At a meet-
ing of the church on Friday, the 1st of Sep-
tember, 1826, Mr. Drake and five others
were elected ruling elders, and on Sabbath,
the first day of October following, they were
solemnly set apart to the ofiice by prayer.
In 1823 he was elected a member of the
House of Assembly and re-elected the three
following years. The last two years of his
membership he was Speaker of the House.
In 1824, and again in 1825. he was appointed
Prosecutor of the Pleas for Morris County.
In December, 1826, while a member of the
House, he was appointed in joint meeting
one of the Justices of the Supreme Court,
to succeed Judge Rossel. To accommodate
the people of the judicial district to which
he was assigned, he left Morristown in 1828
and removed with his family to Burlington,
where he resided for five years, and then to
Trenton where he remained two years.
During the last years of his term the cel-
ebrated case of Shotwell against Hendrick-
son and Decow, growing out of the division
which had taken place in the Society of
Friends, was referred to Chief Justice Ew-

ing and Justice Drake lor decision, the
Chancellor having been engaged as counsel
in the case. Hendrickson, in 1821, as Treas-
urer of the School Fund of the Preparative
Meeting of the Society of Friends of Ches-
terfield, loaned $2,000 to Shotwell on mort-
gage. At this time there was no division
in the Society, and until after the yearly
meeting, held in Arch street meeting house
on the third Monday of April, 1827, there
was but one yearly meeting. At this mem-
orable meeting the presence of a disturbing
element was very apparent. The meeting
nevertheless adjourned " to meet in the
next year at the usual time." The " Hick-
site " party were very much dissatisfied with
the proceedings, and a convention of their
party was called in October, which resulted
in fprming a new yearly meeting which held
its first sessi@n in Green street, in Philadel-
phia, on the second Monday in April, 1828,
the " Orthodox" party meeting on the third
Monday of April in that year in Arch street
meeting house as formerly. The division in
the yearly meeting extended to all the
branches of the Society. Each quarterly,
monthly and preparative meeting separated
into two. The Hicksite preparative meet-
ing accounted to the Hicksite monthly
meeting, that to the Hicksite quarterly
meeting and that to the Green street )rearly
meeting. The Orthodox meetings were
maintained as they had been. There were
two Chesterfield preparative meetings and of
these Decow was treasurer of that of the
Hicksite party, while Hendrickson remain-
ed treasurer of that of the Orthodox party.
Both claimed the money from Shotwell
who sympathized with the Hicksite party
and compelled the parties to interplead.
Hendrickson in his bill of complaint stated
among other things that there were three
prominent points of doctrine always deem-
ed fundamental in the Society on which
they differed. That the Orthodox Friends
believed in the divinity of the Saviour, the
Atonement and the inspiration and certainty
of the Scriptures, but that the Hicksites re-
jected these doctrines. Decow in his an-
swer denied that these doctrines were fun-
damental, and that every individual mem-
ber of the society might believe in regard to
them what he pleased.
The Chief Justice decided the case against
the Hicksite party in a very elaborate opin-
ion, arguing quite conclusively that the
preparative meeting represented by Decow
and accountable through its respective
monthly and quarterly meetings to the
Green street yearly meeting was not the
one to whom the money was payable. That
the Orthodox preparative meeting was the
original institution, not destroyed or legally
affected by the separation of a portion of its
membership. He did not discuss the differ-
ences of belief of the two parties.
Judge Drake, in his opinion, went further
than the Chief Justice. To use his own
phraseology the propriety as well as the
legality of the courts noticing the doctrines
of the preparative meeting, which was to
superintend the expenditure of the fund in
question, was too manifest to admit <;f
doubt, and he declared that in his opinion
the fund should be awarded to that meeting
which had shown, at least to his satisfaction,
that they agreed in doctrine with the socie-
ty of Friends as it existed at the origin of
the trust.
This decision gave great dissatisfaction to
the losing party. They declared that while
the Chief Justice took away their property
Judge Drake had robbed them also of their
religion. Accordingly their enmity to him
was much deeper and took a practical form.
By their votes the next fall they helped to
elect a Democratic Legislature which ap-
pointed Thos. C. Ryerson, Esq., of the same
political faith to succeed him. Judge Elmer,
in his reminiscences, remarks that this was
the only case where the reappointment of a
generally accepted judge had been defeated
by a single obnoxious decision. Judge Ry-
erson, with many other Democrats, stoutly
opposed this unjustifiable proscription and
warmly advocated his reappointment. His
name was used to secure the votes of Sus-
sex members, and "thus without his knowl-
edge, he was made the instrument of defeat-
ing an excellent and irreproachable judge,
his own warm and personal friend." That
this would be the probable result of his
opinion Judge Drake foreknew, but believ-
ing it to be his duty he did not hesitate to
declare his convictions with the greatest
freedom, and to put his decision on princi-

pies which, not being necessarily required
to be assured, others would have deemed it
wiser to avoid.
In 1835. after the expiration of his term,
he returned to Morristown and again re-
sumed the active practice of his profession.
But severe trials waited upon his remaining
years. While still living in Trenton he was
afflicted with rheumatism which confined
him for months to his house and troubled
him ever after. He became financially
much embarrassed in the settlement of
his father's estate and by the impairment of
his practice from his long absence from
Morristown. On the 26th of March, 1836,
he lost his only son. Edmund Burke Drake,
a youth of great promise, who died of ery-
sipelas in his nineteenth year. In the
spring of the following year he rode on
horseback from Morristown to Succasunna
without a buckskin vest he had been in the
habit of wearing during the past winter. He
was taken with pleurisy at the house of his
brother-in-law, Dr. Ebenezer Woodruff, and
after an illness of only one week died Ma)'
6th, in the forty-eighth year of his age. He
was buried at Morristown in the old church
yard, but his remains were afterwards re-
moved to the Evergreen Cemetery. His
widow survived him many years and died at
the house of her son-in-law in Newark,
April 18, 1872.
Judge Drake left four children. Eliza
Halsey, who married George R. Howell :
Annie McKenzie, who married Henry G.
Darcy ; Mary L., who is the wife of Justice
Scudder of the Supreme Court, and Marion
McLean, who died in childhood.
A gentleman who remembers Judge
Drake very well prior to 1821, says of him,
" He was my father's counsel. I conse-
quently saw more of him than most boys of
my age, having occasion to go to his ofllice
frequently on errands, and his appearance,
voice and manners are very strong!}' im-
pressed on my mind. He was rather tall
and had a slight bend or scholarly stoop in
walking. But his height, with rather a
long neck, gave him a commanding appear-
ance when on his feet. His most striking
feature was his voice which was an uncom-
monly deep bass, rich and sonorous. His
utterance was slow and deliberate. It seem-
ed as if not only every sentence but every
word was weighed when he spoke. In con-
versation his manner was marked by ex-
treme gravity. I don't recollect ever see-
ing him laugh but what I recollect of him
with the greatest pleasure, was the winning
charm and kindness of his manner in con-
versation, ot this I have distinct recollec-
tion. It was just that manner which would
impress a stranger with the idea, 'this is a
man I can trust.' My father had the most
exalted idea of him as a gentleman and a
friend. I suppose no man ever stood higher
in public estimation in Morristown, either
socially or as a safe and trusted counselor.
I regret that I am unable to give a fuller
sketch of this good man."
THE SOUTH STREET SUNDAY SCHOOL
LECTURES
The second and third in this course have
been delivered ; the second on " Church
History," March 9th, by Mr. John White-
head, and the third on " Christian Doctrine,"
April 4th, by F. G. Burnham, Esq.
Before the delivery of the third lecture, a
kind friend sent the communication which
follows this notice. The maternity of the
letter is strongly suspected. Praise is pleas-
ant even to the most modest, and it could
hardly be expected that human nature, es-
pecially that of an editor, could resist the
temptation to publish so flattering a com-
mendation, coming as it does from this sus-
pected source.
These lectures are delivered in the church
parlor, in the rear of the main building.
The arrangement of the rooms con-
nected with the parlor, is admirable
and reflects great credit on the ar-
chitect and building committee. The com-
pactness and convenience which have
been obtained is simply wonderful. It can
hardly be credited that seven rooms are to
be found in the rear of the one used for reg-
ular worship. Beside the parlor there are
a pastor's study, two rooms for Sabbath
school purposes, one for the older scholars
and one for the infant classes — a ladies
room, kitchen and librar)'. The parlor is
admirably adapted for lecture purposes ; its
acoustic properties are excellent ; it brings
speaker and audience close together and
gives a home like feeling and appearance.
This plan of instruction for Sunday schools
is again commended.

THE RECORD.
Mr. Editor :
The second lecture of the course on
"Sunday reading" was delivered in the Bible
class room of the South street Presbyte-
rian church, March 7th, by John White-
head, Esq.
"Church History" was the subject select-
ed for that eveninj^, and a goodly number
assembled to partake ot the literary feast,
for such, indeed, it proved to be. The lec-
turer gave a history of the Christian church
to the era of the Reformation. The time
subsequent to this period was not consider-
ed, as well from lack of time, as from the
fact that it must be more familiar to the
audience.
The history of the church was divided
into three periods, Ancient, Medieval and
Modern.
The Ancient period included the " Apos-
tolic Era," the era of the " Persecuted
Church," and the era of the " Church Tri-
umphant."
The Medieval period included the time
from Gregor}' the Great, to Gregory V^ll ;
from Gregory VII to Boniface VIII ; from
Boniface VIII to the Reformation. The
modern period extends to the present time
and is still in progress.
The treatment of the subject indicated
deep research on the part of the lecturer
and an abilit)' to mould the facts into a
form that could be readily grasped. At the
close of the lecture a list of books, valua-
ble to the student was cited, many of which
are to be found on the shelves of the
library. B.
TEMPERANCE.
In the last number of the Rkcorjj men-
tion was made of several plans proposed for
a check to intemperance. Each plan, of
course, has its honest advocates. The
views and prejudices of these advocates
ought to be respected ; but, where the com-
mon sentiment of all who favor these differ-
ent plans, is in one direction and all are de-
sirous of reaching one end, the mutual re-
spect due to each other should permit and
the common desire for the same great end
should induce, a united effort in adopting
one of the various plans proposed.
Is it possible to accomplish this union }
Why not ? What is lacking is union. What
will secure undoubted success is one com-
mon impulse of all opponents of intempe-
rance in one direction.
Take a practical view of the subject.
Morristown has nine Christian churches,
into which gather statedly a very large ma-
jority of the people of that city. If the vote
should be taken of the worshippers in these
nine churches upon the simple question,
temperance or intemperance, there could be
no doubt as to the result. In all probability,
every man, woman and child would vote for
temperance.
But present the question to the same vo-
ters in this form ; what practical plan is the
best to adopt to stop the further progress
of intemperance, and quite another result
would be obtained.
This divergence of opinion cannot be
avoided, but this can be done : When a
question oi action is submitted, then Christ-
ian men and w^omen can surrender mere
opinion and adopt a course of action which
involves no surrender of principle, but b}^ a
united effort can be made successful.
Let every one who opposes intemperance
and really desires to check it, put himself in
such a position that he may honestlv sub-
scribe to this sentiment : My opinion favors
one certain plan, but I am willing to do
whatever is thought best by the majoritv
provided I am not called upon to surrender
a principle.
T/ic Index, published at Brockport, N. Y.,
in the interest of the Baptist church there,
is welcome. It is a bright paper, fully alive
to the duties of a church of Christ and of
individual Christians. We tender our
congratulations to our brithren at Brock-
port on the good work they have
accomplished for their church edifice,
but more especially for a higher and better
work, which seems to have blessed the se-
ries of meetings the)' have been holding.
The next lecture in the course in South
street church, in this city, will be delivered
by Mr. Andrew F. West, May 2d next, on
Christian Duty.
Why, cannot the old First Church imi-
tate this excellent example.^
THE RECORD-
39
HISTORY OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
On the banner of the vSunday school of
the church hanging every Sabbath in the
chapel, is the date 1816. It is presumed that
this date is intended to denote the j'ear in
which the Sunday school v>^as organized.
But is this correct ?
Mr. Manning Rutan, in his 8ist year,
writes from Greenville, Michigan, that he
thinks he attended Sundaj^ school, in the
gallery of the church, in 1814 or 1815. The
superintendent was then a lady, and lived,
so says Mr. Rutan, about one hundred yards
from the church and carried on the milli-
nery business. Two of the teachers were
employed by the superintendent in her
shop, one of whom was Miss Charity Mc-
Carty, who afterwards married a Mr. John-
ston and also carried on the millinery busi-
ness. This lad}' superintendent, says Mr.
Rutan, afterwards married Col. Cobb, of
Parsippany, but he does not remember her
name. A friend says she was a widow and
her name was Shaw.
Our former pastor, the Rev. Dr. Irving,
in his sermon, published in the Record,
Aug. 1882, says that in 1816 a Sabbath
school, in connection with this church was
established. Before, a few active friends
met on Sabbath to instruct the colored
people. This school for colored folk, Dr.
Irving supposed was the first movement
in this part of the country in the direction
of Sunday schools.
Dr, Irving's sermon was preached on
Thanksgiving day, 1862. Undoubtedly the
preacher made his statement after all pos-
sible research. But, if Mr. Rutan be correct,
there must have been a Sunday school for
white children prior to 18 16.
In 1880, the Rev. D. E. Platter prepared a
historical manual of the Rockaway church ;
in the sketch of the history of the church
contained in this manual, it is stated that in
181 5, Mrs. Electa Jackson, wife of Col.
Joseph Jackson, living at Rockawaj'. started
the^irsf Sunday school in Morris County,
in the "old 7-ed school house," near the church,
at Rockaway. Mr. Platter adds to this the
Statement, that " Mrs. Jackson and her
sister-in-law, Mrs. James Jackson, had pre-
viously gathered the neighboring children
for religious instruction in their own
homes."
All honor to these pious ladies and to the
church which supported them.
A correct history of the Sunday school is
very desirable. A kind friend, at one time,
much interested in the school and occupy-
ing an important position in it, has given
some interesting tacts relative to it. But
her acquaintance with the school began at
a date subsequent to its early history.
What, therefore, is now most needed for the
present purpose, are the exact facts con-
nected with that early history. Any such
facts will be gladly received.
BIOGRAPHICAL
Sketches of the lives of former pastors,
ruling elders and prominent men connected
with the church, will be published from
time to time. The June number of the Re-
cord will probably contain a notice of Hon.
Ira C. Whitehead, a former elder. Persons
in possession of facts, anecdotes, or circum-
stances connected with the lives of any of
these persons thus designated, will confer a
very great favor by forwarding them to the
editor.
Information of any kind in reference to
any of the former pastors or elders of the
church is particularly requested.
During "the week ending April 21, large
temperance meetings have been held in
Washington Hall, under the charge of the
Y. M. C. A. These meetings have been ad-
dressed by Major Scott, whose labors as a
temperance evangelist have been so suc-
cessful elsewhere. The clergymen of the
"town have been present and added their in-
fluence to the efforts made to aid struggling
humanity in its attempts to cast off the in-
cubus of intemperance. Maj. Scott is an el-
oquent speaker, well calculated to impress
audiences, and knows whereof he speaks.
A large assemblage, notwithstanding the
severe storm, gathered on Sunday evening,
April 22d, in the First Presbyterian Church,
at which Maj. Scott was present and spoke.
The meetings have been continued during
the week following. Great good is antici-
pated from these efforts, and it is hoped that
many, who have been in the grasp of the
enemy of human souls, may have been re-
leased.

THE RECORD.
OPEN COMMUNION.
VERBAL INSPIRATION.
The /^ecfor's Assis/a;i/ quotes, with com- What is verbal inspiration? It is the
mendation, the following, taken from one ot I theory that the Bible is a work dictated
its exchanges, which, the Assistant says, is j word for word by the Holy Ghost. Accord-
not edited by a Low Churchman :
" Now as then, she "—the church — " wel
comes to that Sacrament of the Lord's body
* * * * all baptized and faithful Christ-
ians, whatever they may call them-
selves, and whatever opinions they may
have added to the simple faith of the Apos-
tles Creed which she holds to contain all
the essential articles of the Christian faith.
Though separate in their organizations
from the historical church, such Christian
people are by their baptism and by their
faith members of the Church Catholic and
universal — ' the m3'stical body of Christ,
which is the blessed company of all faithful
people ;' and hence have the right to ap-
proach reverently the table of the Lord."
The sentiment is Catholic and Scriptural,
and is in exact conformity with the teach-
ings of the Presbyterian church ; the com-
munion table, when spread in our church, is
not a Presbyterian table, but it is the Lord's
table and all who love the Lord Jesus
Christ are welcome to sit with us at the
feast, let them be called by whatever name
they may.
ing to it, the writers of the Scriptures were
simple amanuenses, reproducing what
was communicated to them with the
liberal accuracy of a short-hand re-
porter. This doctrine finds favor
with a large number of orthodox readers of
the Old and New Testament. Neverthe-
less, it is an hypothesis which is utterly un-
supportable ; even the book itself, in whose
behalf it is alleged, contradicting it. Chris-
tians who undertake to maintain it, place
themselves thereby at a pitiable disadvan-
tage in their efforts with infidelity. — Rec-
tor's Assistant.
THANKS
To the Rector's Assistant {ox its kindly no-
tice and fraternal words with reference to
what it is pleased to call " The new depar-
ture of Presbyterianism." No quarrel can
be had with any of its utterances on this
subject, even if there were a disposition to
do so, because of the true Christian spirit
which pervade the whole article.
Thanks, too, to the Hansom Place Quar-
terly for its pleasant notice of the Record.
Is the Quarterly quite sure of its orthogra-
phy ? Does it spell its own name aright ?
Ought it not to be handsome ?
Among the many good things which ap-
pear in the Quarterly, the article headed
" How to E71C our age your Minister," is spec-
ially commendable. It may be read and fol-
lowed with profit by members of any con-
gregation. The hints there made are prac-
tical, considerate. Christian, and ought to
be carried out.
THE WORLD A GAME.
This world a hunting is.
The prey, poor man, the Nimrod fierce is
death ;
His speedy greyhounds are
Lust, sickness, envy, care,
Strife that ne'er falls amiss
With all those ills which haunt us while we

Our yesterday's to-morrow now is gone,
And still a new to-morrow does come on ;
We by to-morrows draw up all our store,

To-morrow you will live, you always cry.
In what far country does this morrow lie,
That 'tis so mighty long 'ere it arrive }
Beyond the Indies does this morrow live !

BENEVOLENCE.
True benevolence is not always manifest-
ed by muniticent gifts. Too frequently os-
tentation directs the hand which showers
gold. The small rills which feed the
mighty river are alw^ays the sweetest and
purest. The simple, humble Christian,
whose life is a constant reflection of the
goodness which shone in the Master, is
surer of a welcome at that Master's coming
than the millionaire, w^ho, from display
gives his thousands.
All over the land, in our churches, are to
be found those silent witnesses of the true
Christian life. They do what they can and
leave the rest with their God. Women,
whose names are never heard, go about on
their mission, heavenly missions, of good.
They feed the hungry, clothe the naked,
visit the sick, comfort the widow and pro-
tect the fatherless. Thej^ found no hos-
pitals, endow no colleges, make no great
gifts of money, but they do what they can.
From loving, willing hearts go out deeds
of kindness and mercy. Their reward is
not in the world's adulations ; they seek no
such reward. Their reward is found in the
praises of conscience, in the sweet assur-
ance that Christ, whose great heart went
th the Approval of the Session.]
out in such paths of mercy, will at some
time own and bless.
In our church are to be found some such
souls and they deserve something more
than a passing notice. Among some of the
associations where these true workers for
Christ and humanity are to be found exert-
ing a blessed influence, is the Young Ladies'
Missionary Society, which was organized
October, 4, 18S2. They are few in number
and are probably not known or recognized
as very important factors in our church
work, and probably they are not. But they
are doing what they can, and that was the
high praise which the Master gave while
here on earth to another worker.
This association has met together twenty-
seven times since its organization ; the
average attendance has been eleven. They
only make garments, so did Dorcas ; but
when that woman died, she was worthy of a
mention in the sacred record, which has
sent her name down the ages ; and when
she lay prepared for her burial, the widows
for whom she made garments, with tears,
showed the coats which she had made.
Silently and patiently this little associa-
tion has been doing its work. Until Jan-
uary 24th last, the finished garments were
taken to the house of one of the ladies
and distributed among the poor of our
church. But now, with strengthened
hands and purpose, these young ladies essay
to enlarge the bounds of the field of their
labors ; so, after providing in a measure, at
least, for the wants of our own poor, they
began work for the " Home of the Friend-
less " in New York. Nor content with this
enlargement they propose now to work for
Dr. Snowden's family, and have actually
undertaken to clothe the three youngest
children of that devoted missionary.
Listen to what this association has done
42
THE RECORD.
since its organization, October 4, 1882.
Eighty garments have been finished, nearly
one-half of which has been donated to the
poor of our church. They are not disposed
to intermit their labors, but are going on
now to finish more garments. All this has
been accomplished with only thirty-seven
members.
But something else remains to be said
about this young missionary society. They
look after their own hearts and minds as
well as caring for the material good of
others.
At their meetings they discuss important
subjects, have vocal and instrumental mu-
sic and repeat quotations from the Bible and
good authors. Neither do they forget their
duty to the great head of the church, for
prayer is always made as a preparation for
their exercises. Finances do not form a
strong part of their association but their
treasury is in a healthy situation ; they
have a small balance to its credit.
This charming state of affairs ought not
to be disturbed by naming names. The
Record would like to speak out and tell
who are the master spirits in the society,
but it forbears. This, however, must be
said, that while perhaps it would be invi-
dious to point out one name more deserving
of praise than others, still it is quite true
that to one young lady more than any one
else, very much is due for the success of
the Young Ladies' Missionary Society of
the First Presbyterian Church. The Re-
cord says God speed to the Association.
WHAT'S IN A NAME.
Some authors who have given great at-
tention to the subject, insist that every
patronymic had its origin in an attempt at
the descriptive. That is to say, that every
family name originated in some peculiarity
of the person to whom it was first given.
Every Bible name is of this character, ex-
cept, perhaps, that the characteristics in-
tended to be described, relate rather to ex-
ternal circumstances surrounding the indi-
vidual named, than to the intrinsic attri-
butes of the one bearing the name. Thus,
all names into which enter the syllables, yV?,
je, ah, el., denote some connection with
Deity. The Jews were very apt to give to
their children some name, into which en-
tered some part of the name Jehovah — the
sacred word, by which in their holiest ser-
vice, they denoted God.
Our German ancestors, with a grim hu-
mor, when naming their serfs, descended far
below the standard adopted by the pious
Hebrews in naming their sons and daugh-
ters. The patronymics, used by the people
of the Teutonic race, denote other charac-
teristics than are to be found connected with
Divinity. Such names as Wolf, Fox, Bear,
Lion, Cow, Sheep, Pumpkin Head, are to be
found in the names of German families.
The Bible society is to meet at the First
Presbyterian Church in Morristown, in this
month of June, and an address is promised
from the Rev. Dr. Schaf. Dr. Schaf is a
representative of German thought and
learning, one of the ablest men of the cen-
tury and one of the most cultivated. His
name Schaf \% the German for Sheep.
In this issue of the Record is a sketch of
the life of Judge Whitehead.
One legend, as to the manner in which the
family name he bears originated, is this.
In the I2th century, Henry 2d of England
attempted the conquest of Ireland, in which
attempt he was partially successful. He
found the people of the Island divided into
septs or clans; each member of the clan
bearing the same patronymic. Between
these clans there existed strong animosities
which led to constant civil war. The Eng-
lish were desirous of breaking up the terri-
ble custom of war between the tribes, and
adopted various means to accomplish their
end.
One of their plans was the baptism of
wild Irishmen, as they were captured, with
a new name, different from the one by which
they were known. These names, as may
well be imagined, were generally descriptive.
In the south part of Ireland, where this law
mostly obtained, are to be found many of
these descriptive names.
So, goes the story, a wild Irishman with
a remarkable head of white hair, one day
was brought to the font, and was baptized
Whitehead. The story may not be accepted
by all the members of that respectable family
whose names appear so frequently, on the
records of the church, and it may not be
true, but it illustrates, very forcibly, hovy
family names may arise,
THE RECORD.
43
HON. IRA CONDICT WHITEHEAD.
Judge Whitehead was directly connected
with the interests of the church for nearly
the whole of his life time. He was baptized
in early childhood and thus according to
the opinions of the great body of Presbyte-
rians of that day, became entitled, on his
arrival at maturer years, to the privileges of
church ordinances. From his infancy to
his death he was a constant attendant at
the meetings on Sabbath and other da3's,
and when, at a later time, wisdom and ex-
perience were added to his natural and other
acquired qualities of mind and heart, he be-
came trustee and ruling elder. His inter-
est in the church was so great, his affection
for its ordinances so manifest, and the part
which he took in promoting its highest ad-
vantage, so prominent that it seems emi-
nently proper that some sketch should be
given of his life and character in the pages
of the Record.
He was born in Morristown, April 8, 1798,
and was descended by both parents from
old Morris county families. One of the
names, he bore denoted his maternal ances-
try. He came from the same stock which
has given to New Jersey such men as Silas
Condict of Revolutionary fame ; Lewis
Condict who was a representative in Con-
gress for so many years from Morris
county ; John Condict of Essex county,
who represented his part of the State also
in the national Councils for so long a time,
and which has given to the church such
exemplary men of God as Ira Condict. D.D.,
for whom Judge Whitehead was named, and
Jonathan B. Condict, D.D., who died after
many years service, a professor of Auburn
Theological Seminary.
His father's family were numbered, for
several generations, among the yeomanry
of the country.
From the ranks of this part of the com-
munity have ever come the sturdy, honest,
intelligent thinkers, the strong men, the
patriotic and honest statesmen, who count
no sacrifice a loss, when the country de-
mands.
Judge Whitehead's father was Ezekiel
Whitehead, a sturdy, independent man, who
feared nothing but sin and the anger of his
God. His mother was Mary, the second
child of Jabez Condict, who was the cousin
of Silas Condict, of Revolutionary times.
The strong bias of religious element, which
entered into the life and character of Judge
Whitehead, was found in his ancestry.
Philip Condict, his maternal great-grand*
father, was a ruling elder in the First Pres-
byterian Church, and his grand-father,
Jabez Condict and his wife, were life long
members, ardent in their piety and most
exemplary in their Christian devotion.
At the time of his birth his father's family
lived upon the farm, at present owned and
occupied by Mr. F. B. Betts, near Morris-
town.
Ezekiel Whitehead had five children, of
whom Judge Whitehead was the third.
The second, a son, Sylvester R., still sur-
viving at the ripe old age of 88, lives at the
homestead at Washington Valley, occupied
by his father for so many years prior to his
death.
Judge Whitehead when a youth manifest-
ed a taste for letters, and was destined by
his parents to a professional life. He was
prepared for college at the old academy,
then standing where the present Library is
erected. Mr. James Johnson, a name well
known in the educational annals of Morris-
town as an able and most successful teacher,
was his instructor and prepared him for
college. He entered Princeton College
November 9. 1814, in his seventeenth year,
being admitted to the Junior Class. Very
soon after entering college, Nov. 29, 1814,
he became a member of the Nassau Bible So-
ciety. His connection with this society
continued so long as he was a student in
college.
During his collegiate course, in the winter
of 1814-15. a powerful revival occurred
among the students. It is not known
whether Judge Whitehead received any re-
ligious impressions at this revival; but, it
cannot be doubted that a young man with
his strong bias towards religion and with
the recollections of his home teachings,
must have felt the influences of the hour.
While at Princeton, Judge Whitehead, to
use the words of one of his classmates, who
afterwards became President of the college,
was an irreproachable student. He gradu-
ated in 1816, having maintained during the
first year of his course, a standing in scho-
44
THE RECORD.
larship at about the middle of his class, and
.rising somewhat above this in his second
year. At the commencement exercises he
took part in a debate, arguing the negative
of the question, " Is it desirable that the
patriots of South America should succeed
in their present struggle for liberty and in-
dependence.'" Of course, it will be under-
stood that he was a debater in these exer-
cises, and that he did not express the true
sentiments of his mind when he argued the
negative of the question. The wording ol
the resolution submitted for debate was of
such a character as to leave but little chance
for the debaters who opposed.
At that time the accommodations at the
.college, in the way of dormitories, was
rather limited, and he roomed with two
other students, the Rev. R. K. Rodgers, so
long secretary of the Synod of New Jersey
and pastor of a Presbyterian church at
Bound Brook, and the Rev. Mr. Lowe.
His classmates numbered several students
who afterward became distinguished as
statesmen, jurists and divines. Among
them were found the following : James Mc-
Dowell, Governor of Virginia ; Cornelius
Ludlow, LL. D., Chester Butler. U. S. Sena-
tor ; James S. Nevius, Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of New Jersey ; John
MacLean, D.D.. President of Princeton Col-
lege ; Rev. William Jessup Armstrong, D.D.,
Charles Pettit Mcllvaine, Bishop of Ohio
and President of Kenyon College.
After graduation he taught school for
about two years, one of them in the old
Academy at Morristown, and then entered
the office at Newark, of Joseph C. Horn-
blower, afterwards Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of New Jersey, as a student-
at-law. At that time, his uncle, Silas White-
head, was Clerk of the County of Essex, and
Judge Whitehead employed his leisure hours
in his uncle's office, so as to enable himself
to pay his own way and not continue to be
a burden on his father.
He was licensed as an Attorney by the
Supreme Court of his native State about the
year 1821 and immediately began the prac-
tice of his profession, opening an office
at Schooley's Mountain, in the building
known as the Heath House. He remained
here for a short time only, perhaps for two
or three years, when, at the request of
George K. Drake, afterwards associate Jus-
tice of the Supreme Court of New Jerse5\ he
removed to Morristown and became a part-
ner with Judge Drake. From this time he
remained in this city until his death, in the
full practice of his profession, except when
engaged in the performance of his duties as
an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
April 6, 1829, Judge Whitehead married
Sarah Louisa Johnson, eldest child of Silas
Johnson, of this city. One child, a daughter,
was born to them. She lived to grow up
but died early in womanhood. Being an
only child she naturally became the object
of the fondest, tenderest affections of her
parents. She early became the subject of
religious impressions and to the great joy
of her friends and especially of her pious
parents, she united with the church in early
life. She gave promise pf great usefulness
in the church and in the community where
she lived. Death came early and destroyed
this promise. It can well be imagined how
the loving heart of her father was wrung
by this affliction. He went sorrowing for
his daughter to the grave, but in all his sor-
row he found true consolation in the solace
of religion. The funeral sermon of this
daughter, to whom had been given the
name of Mary, from her grand-mother, the
wife of Jabez Condict, was preached by the
Rev. David Irving, D.D., who was then the
pastor of the church, and between whom
and Judge Whitehead and his family there
alwa3^s existed the truest affection. That
sermon was preached January 30, 1858, and
was subsequently printed, It was the heart-
felt tribute of the pastor and of the friend to
the virtue and the loveliness of the dead,
and was evidently the work of one who deep-
ly felt the loss of so young and so bright a
spirit.
The text was this ; "She hath given up the
ghost ; her sun hath gone down while it was
yet day." None but those who have gone
through the like sorrow can appreciate the
great affliction which the loss gave to the
father. He never recovered fully from the
blow.
On Nov. 3, 1841, Judge Whitehead was
appointed an Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court of New Jersey by the Gov-
ernor of the State.
The Count}' of Hudson had recently been

created and Judge Whitehead held his first
circuit in the new county. There was no
Court House then erected in Hudson and
the courts were held at some public place
in Jersey City. He held this position but
for one term ; as the Governor who came
into office, at the time his term expired, was
of different politics, and he retired to private
life. He practised his profession for a short
time after this, but finally accepted, at the
urgent request of the bar of Morris County,
the position of Judge of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, which position he held for one
term. He then, practically, retired from
public life, giving his attention, however,
occasionally, to the charge of important
estates. He was the leading and active ex-
ecutor of the late William Gbbons, whose
large estate in his hands received a foster-
ing care which enabled him to hand it over
to the heirs, at their majority, largely in-
creased in value.
Judge Whitehead, very early, manifested
a deep interest in the affairs of the church.
He would not have been true to himself nor
to his ancestry, if he had not done so. In 1832,
he was parish clerk ; in 1838 and 1839 he
served as trustee. In 1841, at a time when
the most careful and delicate conduct of the
affairs of the church was needed : when
prudence and wisdom were most especially
necessary, he, with Lewis Condict, William
Sayre, Jr., Abraham Tappen and John F.
Voorhees, acted as agents tor the parish
and took the place of the trustees, who had
resigned. This was at a period of the great
excitement in the church, which resulted
in its division and the withdrawal of the
congregation now organized as the South
Street Presbyterian Church. None but
those familiar with the state of affairs as they
then existed in the church, can fully appre-
ciate the very great care and prudence
which was necessary. The excitement was
intense ; families were divided and a feeling
existed which it fostered or not controlled
and checked, would have led to the most
disastrous results. Judge Whitehead was
ardently attached to the old church, all his
sympathies were with her in the contest.
His strong nature was enlisted ; but, not-
withstanding all this, he showed a prudence
and exhibited a wisdom which guided the
storm and brought about the peace which
has since continued and led. eventually, to
the union and Christian feeling which now
bind the two churches. In this he was
aided by the gentlemen who were his fellows
in the Board of Trustees, at that most try-
ing time in the history of the church.
During this period he was also parish clerk.
While thus aiding the church in its tem-
poral affairs he was mindful of the claims
which it had upon his higher and better na-
ture. He made a public profession of his
faith in Christ, and was received into the
full communion of the church August 27,
1829. His brother, Sylvester R., united at
the same time. He was the subject of one
of the great revivals which occurred while
Mr. Barnes was pastor. It cannot be
doubted, but that Judge Whitehead would
have been led by the instincts of his nature
to this step. He was strongly inclined to a
religious life and after his union with the
church he devoted himself to the exercise
of the ruling bias of his heart and convic-
tions. His was no grudging service. He
gave his whole life to the Master. That
service was large hearted and sincere. His
was not a nature to hold back when once
he had set out in the path of duty. He was
earnest, sincere, generous, " instant in sea-
son and out of season." Never obtrusive,
but always ardent in his piety, he never
failed on proper occasions to give his testi-
mony to the truth. But his exemplary life
was the highest evidence of his faith. He
preached Jesus by his daily walk and con-
versation.
May 3, 1846, he became a ruling elder,
which office he held until his death, which
occurred Aug. 27, 1867, when he was in his
seventieth year.
For some time before his death Judge
Whitehead had expected that event. He
had received unmistakable warning. But
he was undismayed at its near approach.
He had much around him to bind him to
life. The wife of his youth, whose gentle
affection had gone with him, through the
many years of their married life, still lived
to bless and cheer. He was an honored and
respected man ; the whole community, in
which he lived, delighted to honor and bless
him. Troops of strongly attached friends
and relatives gathered about him. He had
acquired independent competence, and was,
46
THE RECORD.
therefore, not subject to the carking care
of povert}', nor obhged to labor for the
support of himself and his family. But, he
knew in whom he trusted, and setting his
face steadily heavenward, with an undying
trust in the Rock of his salvation, he, calm-
ly and patiently, awaited the end. It came
at last and the honored man, the devout
Christian, sank to his rest. His memory
still lingers with us, and can not be lost for
many generations. The good he did can
never die, the wisdom he gave to the coun-
cils of the church guarded her safely though
perils, the material aid afforded by him,
manifested the true generosity of his nature.
In person Judge Whitehead was striking,
being fully six feet in height, robust and
commanding. He possessed a kindly, at-
tractive manner, which always brought
young persons lovingly to his presence.
He was firm and decided in his utterances ;
his convictions were strong and he never
failed to speak the true sentiments of his
mind and heart. Perhaps if he failed any-
where, it was in the abrupt and positive
manner in which he declared his opinions.
But those opinions very rarely failed in be-
ing correct
As a lawyer he was untiring in his devo-
tion to the interests of his client ; as a
counsellor he was correct, careful and wise;
as a Judge he was most industrious, patient
and considerate ; as a man of business he
was of spotless integrity; as a husband and
father he was loving, kind and affectionate;
as a Christian he was humble, consistent
and exemplary, and in all the relations of
life he never failed in the discharge of duty.
Of him it could well be said, " An honest
man is the noblest work of God."
THE TEMPERANCE SPUR.
The temperance people of Boonton have
done a good work. At their last municipal
election they elected town officers pledged
to give no license to saloons. This result
is especially noticeable at this present mo-
ment, as in Boonton is to be found a large
population of working people, who are,
generally, supposed to favor the license
system. But there seems to have been an
influence at work in Boonton which was
potent in obtaining so desirable a result.
This little paper, whose name heads this
article, is published at Boonton, and gives
an idea of what this potent influence was.
The good women of our neighbor city,
evidently, took part in the contest and on
the right side.
This sprightly paper is edited, so says its
title page, by four young ladies. It is bright,
sparkling with gems of thought, beautifully
illustrated and altogether most creditable
to its editors and friends. Its title page is
an exquisite picture. We suspect the artist,
whose genius produced the work, does not
live manjr miles from Boonton. The decid-
ed teachings of the Spur are excellent, its
testimony is all in favor of the right and it
must wield a power in the community for
good order, temperance and religion.
Success to the young ladies who are do-
ing this good work.
SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.
The 67 th anniversary of the Sunday schocjl
was observed in the church, Sunday after-
noon, Ma)r 27th. An address was made by
Mr. S. W. Clark, the Secretary of the New
Jersey Sunday School Association. The
school occupied the body of the church
and made a most creditable appearance.
Judge W. E. Church, recently appointed As-
sociate Justice of the territory of Dakota,
was present and also addressed the audi-
ence.
The annual report was presented and read
by Mr. W. D. Johnson, the superintendent
of the school. Mr. Mahlon Pitney present-
ed several of the pupils with Bibles for
proficiency in the catechism, and for regular
attendance upon school during the year.
The report gave some interesting particu-
lars. It has been placed at the disposal of
the Record and the permission kindly
given by Mr. Johnson to take extracts from
it, is accepted with thanks.

other meritorious action deserved this par-

It is most desirable that there should be
an accurate and careful history of the
school prepared and printed. Our good
friend, J. D. Stevenson, Esq., former super-
intendent, and whose interest in the school
is still unabated it is said, prepared such a
history. Repeated and earnest requests for
facts and dates relative to this history have
been made in the Record. Strange to say
these requests have been unanswered, ex-
cept b}'^ one good friend who lives in Michi-
gan. The information he gives would seem
to indicate that the school had reached an
older age than sixty-seven years. He cannot
be definite. Will not some kind friend look
up this matter and furnish the Record with
full dates and facts. Those, who are in pos-
session of such dates and facts are fast leav-
ing us and soon the possibility of obtaining
the desired information will be gone. At a
late meeting of the teachers held for the
purpose of electing officers, the following
were elected :
William D. Johnson, superintendent ;
Mahlon Pitney, assistant superintendent ;
P. B. Pierson, secretary and treasurer; O.
F. Lozier, Librarian ; William Leek, Henry
Potts, assistant Librarians; Miss Emma
Campbell and Miss Lottie Campbell, super-
intendents of primary department; Miss
Laura Pierson, assistant superintendent of
primary department.
TEMPERANCE.
This important subject is still occupying
the attention of our community. At the
last municipal election in this city, the issue
of license or no license was presented to the
town and decided in favor of the ticket
which represented license. The majority
was small, very small, in so large a vote as
nine hundred and more. But it was suffi-
ciently large to prove that the sen-
timent of the voters of Morristown is decid-
edly favorable to licensing beer saloons.
This is a humiliating fact but it must be ac-
knowledged. Let it be stated in all its full-
ness. In this city there are opened places
of business where nothing is sold except
beer and other stimulants. They afford
temptation on every hand to the idler, the
vicious and the young. They lead the way
to drunkenness, vice, the prison and often
to the gallows. They are not a necessity ;
that cannot be pleaded in their behalf.
They are simply nuisances, open and un-
disguised in their trade of destroying souls
and winijing lives for sin and wickedness.
The result of the last election demonstrates
the terrible fact, that a majority of the citi-
zens of Morristown is in favor of licensing
these moral pests. It is useless to shut our
eyes to this deplorable fact. It cannot be
urged that the gentlemen, who were elected
upon the license ticket, were elected as
members of a political party and are entirely
unpledged as to their future action on the
subject. The question of politics did not
enter into the contest. One of the great
political parties did not present a ticket.
The question was placed squarely before
the citizens and it was well understood by
48
THE RECORD.
every voter when he deposited his ballot,
that he was expressing his views on this
important subject.
How shall this terrible blot on the char-
acter of the voters of Morristown be re-
moved ? The answer is evident: The only
way is for the friends of temperance to be
earnest, faithful and diligent. The time is
coming when public sentiment on this sub-
ject will be purified. To do this needs pa-
tience and work.
PULPIT ECHOES.
REV. J. LEONARD CORNING.
Charity is a problem of the head as well
as of the heart, it is the fruit of intelligent
judgment quite as much as affectionate
sympathy.
There is not such a demonstration of the
blundering moral philosophy of society
under the heavens, as is found in the stereo-
type apparatus bj'^ which crime is punished.
The highest providential mystery in the
world to my mind is the divine permission
of human penalty in its present forms.
Jails and gibbets may be allowable as
bulwarks of self defense in society, but as
idexes of various degrees of culpability they
are the most monstrous monuments of hu-
man lolly. Who but the all-seeing God
himself, can trace the broad, deep river
which goes under the name of sin through
all its thousand tributaries to the far-off
source ? Uncounted generations in the past
send down to the present the almost om-
nipotent forces which give shape and color
to the human soul. The will is the eternal
denier of fate and yet there is a divinity,
kindred to fate, which sways her scepter
over character.
The man who pronounces final judgment
upon the merit and demerit of human con-
duct, with his present light, or rather I may
say his present darkness on the subject, is
simply a fool. Ten thousand antecedents
of personal volition determine the ascen-
dancy of appetite over reason and passion
over conscience. Certainly, there is a resi-
dual fact in every individual soul, on which
accountability rears itself, that most terribly
solemn prerogative of human nature. But
who hath eyes keen enough to take just
measurement of this fact beside all the col-
lateral facts which qualify it ! In other
words who can trace up the sinuous
streams of heritage.'* Who can measure
the force of temptation as it addresses it-
self from within and from without to each
individual soul ? Ah ! What a labyrinth of
undiscovered and at present undiscoverable
histor}' have we here ! When a man has
tracked out its thousand passages then, but
never till then, let him sit in final judgment
upon the frailties of his brother.
Do you remember the story which Clara
Barton tells of that wounded soldier at An-
tietam whom she lifted up to give him
drink, when a shot from the enemy passed
through the sleeve of her dress and pierced
him in the heart ? Oh ! have I not seen that
horrible tragedy enacted again and again
when some soul whom Satan had wounded
was taking cheer at the ministering hand
of pity and merciless calumny smote it
down again into despair and death ?
A man thinks he evidences the strength
of his moral principle by withdrawing on
the other side of the highwa}' from a sin-
maimed soul, but he only evidences the
weakness of his moral principle. Is he
afraid of his character ? No he is afraid of
his reputation. Does he tremble for his
soul's safety ? No, he trembles for his re-
spectability. The very interest that is
really most secure he is most anxious
about. For I want to ask )^ou if you ever
knew one to set himself apart to labor for
the restoration of ihe fallen that God did
not take care both of character and reputa-
tion, both of the soul and respectability.
There is another realm than the asthetic,
the realm of love where notes sweeter than
angelic warble and tints brighter than vernal
greet the eye. When a man is in that
realm all the voices of sinful allurement
are silent. Passion dare not lift its viper
head in the presence of this divine charmer.
And so the soul never gets such rapid
growth in purit}^ as when to the e3'e of
sense its puritj'^ seems most imperilled by
surrounding corruption. Love is a sun-
beam and is no more defiled when stealing
into- some dark cavern reeking with filth
than when nestling in the petal of a lily.

THE CHRISTIAN ERA.
The chronology of the Christian Era has
never been accurately determined ; that is
to say, the true date of the birth of Christ
has remained unknown. Many attempts
have been made to ascertain it. These at-
tempts have been based upon various meth-
ods of calculations, some erroneous, man}^
fanciful, all difficult of solution. Until re-
cently these have failed and it is very doubt-
ful whether success can possibly be reached.
It, certainly, remains, for further inves-
tigations, to learn whether accuracy has
been attained. It may be deemed by
some as not a subject of the importance
commensurate with the pains which have
been taken to solve the problem ; but to
the student of histor}^ who desires entire
accurac}', it is desirable to fix a certain date
for the beginning of the Christian chronol-
ogy.
At the birth of the Saviour, each nation,
which had attained to any degree of civiliza-
tion, had its own way of denoting time. The
Romans counted their era from the building
of the city; the Greeks by the Olympiads;
the Egyptians, Assyrians, Chinese, and
other races, had adopted their own peculiar
eras. These methods obtained for several
centuries after the crucifixion.
ith the Approval of the Session.]
The mode of computing time from the
birth of Christ was not introduced until the
sixth century — the real date is said to be
527— and it did not then become universal,
not even in Christendom. Its introduction
was very gradual, and it was not fully
recognized, even by Christian nations, un-
til many centuries after.
So ma:ny eras are found adopted by his-
torians, ancient and modern, that the
student of history, even with all the light
which modern investigation has thrown
upon the subject of chronology, is neces-
sarily confused. The want of accurate
mathematical and, especially of astronomi-
cal, knowledge in ancient times, and the
very vague methods so frequently used for
computing time, give still more puzzling
ideas to the reader. Generations, the life-
times of monarchs, priests, priestesses, or
of prominent men were frequently adopted
to denote eras.
Even after the 6th century, when the
Christian Era seems, in a measure, to have
been received, as a mode of denoting chro-
nology, the old methods still continued to
be used.
A curious mode still in use by the Popes,
called Indictions, was introduced about the
4th century. Its origin is unknown and
many fanciful theories are advanced con-
cerning it. The original meaning of the
word, " the imposition of a tax," has aided
several imaginative writers in displaying
these fanciful theories, for which, however,
there is no possible foundation. This mode
was in use in France as late as the 15th cen-
tury. Many charters and public deeds are
still in existence, bearing the double date of
the Indictions and the Christian Era. There
is no certain way of learning why this pe-
culiar mode of denoting time was originally
used and it seems useless to speculate about
so
THE RECORD.
it. It was first used by ecclesiastical writers
in the time of Athanasius, who flourished
in the 4th century. Why his name is asso-
ciated with this first use is unknown. It
was not employed exclusively by ecclesias-
tical authors, but was used by them in pref-
erence to other modes.
There is a difference of opinion as to the
date from which it is reckoned ; some hold-
ing that it was September ist, 312, others,
September 15th, 312.
The Popes date their Indictions from dif-
ferent times than those ordinarily received,
but their use seems simply arbitrary, and
not to be based upon any other foundation
than the will of the Pope, who first ordered it.
They reckon from January i, 313. This is
now the only one in vogue and is called the
Papal hidictioti. Each Indiction is a period
or cycle of fifteen years. A rule is adopted
by which a calculation can be made show-
ing the exact cycle in which any given year
of the Christian Era will fall.
It will be readily perceived that if there
be any doubt as to the date of Christ's
birth, as now denoted by the current chron-
ology, the systems of computing time, which
depend upon the ordinarily received year
of thaf event, are also in doubt. For in-
stance, the era adopted in fixing the date of
the building of Rome, is said to be 752 or
753 B. C. But if the usual date employed to
denote the birth of Christ, be incorrect, then
there is uncertainty as to the time of the
building of Rome. The chronology adopted
by Christian nations is generally received
and made the basis of most other chronolo-
gies. It is, therefore, important that the
Christian Era should be entirely correct;
that can only be so made by fixing precisely
the true time of what is chronologically
called the year one, A. D. It is doubtful
whether this can be accurately accom-
plished, but it is worth the trial.
For a long time scholars have determined
that a mistake has crept in the Christian
Era ; that the date of the birth of Christ has
been erroneously postponed for four years ;
that is, that the present year should be 1887
and not 1883, By what method this sup-
posed inaccuracy has been ascertained can-
not now be stated.
German students, with their usual perti-
nacity, have devoted much time and patient
labor to this subject. The result of the in-
vestigation of one of them is summed up
in the following extract which appeared in
the Newark Evening 'Jotirnal, a political
newspaper ; which, however, devotes a
large portion of one of its pages to excellent
literary extracts, evincing a discriminating
taste not often displayed by daily papers,
whose declared utterances are generally and
avowedly purely political. The extract is
given for what it is worth and must be re-
ceived by the readers of the Record, unin-
dorsed in its statements as to dates and as to
its conclusions.
The 25th of December is given as to the
exact date of the birth of our Lord. This is
by no means certain and is not received
without very strong objections. Decem-
ber, it is claimed, was the month of the
year, during which occurred the worst part
of the rainy season, and that on the 25th of
that month was the height of that season,
and consequently shepherds would not be
watching their flocks in the open air. Per-
haps, however, the learned German scholar,
the result of whose studies is given in this
article, may have fully considered this ob-
jection, and disposed of it, at least, satisfac-
torily to himself. It does not appear in the
quoted article that he has done so.
THE CHRISTIAN ERA.
Professor Sattler, of Munich, claims the
distinction of having solved the problem as
to the year in which Christ was born, and of
having demonstrated the fact that the cur-
rent year is probably 1888 instead of 1883.
He bases his proofs mainly on the three
coins which were struck in the reign of
Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, and
which date, consequently, from the first half
of the first century of the current era. Mad-
den admits the genuineness of these coins,
and other numismatic writers do the same.
The evidence they offer is said to coincide
with the narrative of the gospels and with
astronomical calculations. The following
are the results at which Professor Sattler
has arrived : Jesus was born on the 25th
of December, 749 years after the founding
of Rome, and commenced his public career
on the 17th of November, 780 years after
the founding of Rome. He was then thirty
years, ten months and twenty-two days old.
The date on which he commenced his career
^
THE RECORD.
51
fell in the fifteenth year of the Emperor
Tiberius, and in the forty-sixth year after
the building of Herod's Temple. This is in
accordance with St. Luke, iii., i, and St. John,
ii., 20. Jesus died on the 7th of April, 783 of
the Roman era, that is to say, on the Friday
before the Passover; for it has been ascer-
tained by exact calculation that Passover
fell that year on the 7th of April, 783 ; and
as the latter year was a Jewish leap year,
and consisted, accordingly, of thirteen
months, his public career lasted two years
and seven months. According to Professor
Sattler, the Christian reckoning is at fault
by five years, and we are now, therefore, in
18S8 and not in 1883.
DOES IT PAY ?
At this moment's writing, a young mother
lies dead, in a neighboring city, shot to her
death by her husband. The woman was
only twenty years old, comely, of pleasant
manners, the light of her mother's eye, her
father's joy and the mother of two children.
Rum nerved the hand of the murderer and
inspired the thought which contemplated
the deed.
The rum was bought at a licensed saloon.
For the license the city received a pittance.
Strike the balance and learn what this
murder will cost the government. Police of-
ficers, police magistrates, judges, prosecu-
tors, sheriffs, constables and jurors must all
be employed in trial and punishment. Po-
lice office, jail and court room must be pro-
vided in which to secure and try the felon.
When comes the dread day of punishment
the hangman must be paid, the witnesses
of the hanging and the coroner and coro-
ner's jury must be compensated.
The cost of all this cannot well be calcu-
lated, but an approximate amount might be
ascertained. It will not be less than several
thousand dollars. To offset this the city
has received fifteen or perhaps twenty dol-
lars from the saloon where 'was sold the
rum.
But is this all ? A home desolate, two
children are made orphans, a young life is
destroyed ; another must be taken ; hope
for the murderer is dead ; a mother and
father go mourning all their days ; two
children are disgraced for life. But why
pursue the sad theme ? Does it Pay ?
JAMES RICHARDS. D. D.
The Rev. Mr. Green, from whom it would
be very pleasant to hear oftener, sent a
letter to the Record, which ought to have
appeared in the last number, but was post-
poned, for lack of room. The communica-
tion cannot lose interest by lapse of time.
It needs no explanation, as it speaks for
itself. Mr. Green's letters will always be
welcome, and, it is to be hoped, that he will
write whenever he finds anything in the
I|(ECORD to correct or criticise.

Edito7- ^The Record, Mort-istoimi, N.J.:
My Dear Sir :
The receipt to-day, of the May Record
reminds me that I must not delay writing
you regarding the article in the April No.
on the Rev. James Richards, D.D. The ar-
ticle says, (see page 28, 2d column), " There
seems to be some difficulty in establishing
some dates relative to events in the life of
Mr. Richards happening at this period. Mr,
Gridley, in his biography, says that he was
invited in May, 1794, to visit Morristown.
Louis Richards, Esq., whose notes relative
to the Richards family, are very full, states
that he was called to the pastoral charge of
the church in Morristown, in June, 1794.
Both of these gentlemen agree that he was
not installed until May, 1797. The Record
Vol. I, No. I, gives the date of his settle-
ment as May i, 1795. Mr. Barnes, in his
church manual, published in 1818, says he
was installed as pastor May i, 1795, by the
Presbytery of New York."
I have a much greater interest in the
above paragraph than the mere verification
of my own accuracy in the date quoted from
Vol. I, of the Record. The history is im-
portant and the dates should be accurate.
Permit me therefore to call your attention
to a third pastor of the church, who has a
word to say on this subject. I had the
pleasure of printing in the Record two in-
valuable historical sermons by Rev. David
Irving, D.D., now of the Board of Foreign
Missions. I quote from him, " He (Dr.
Richards) not only preached to the people
with great satisfaction but also to the aged
pastor in his own dwelling that he might
judge of his fitness, and to both with such
acceptance, that on the 21st of July, 1794, a

call was made and put into his hands the
same day ; in which he was to receive S440
salary in quarterly payments, the use of the
parsonage and firewood. This was in due
time accepted by him, and on the first of
May, 1795,* he was ordained and installed
pasKn" of the church by the Presbytery of
New York. Dr. McWhorter of Newark,
preached the ordination sermon from Acts
20: 24. Dr. Rogers of New York, presided;
Mr. Austin of Elizabeth, gave the charge to
the people."
My remembrance is that the above ac-
count of the installation will be found either
in the Sessional or Trustees' Record, or
both. The same account is given in my
history of Morristown in "the History of
Morris County," published in 1882 by W.W.
Munsell & Co., of New York — I should dis-
like to think without sufficient reason.
Please examine the records.
Of one thing there is no doubt. There
lies before me as I write a worn and yellow
paper — the call of the First Presbyterian
Church of Morristown to Rev. James Rich-
ards tor his pastoral service.
It is dated July 21st, 1794.
It is signed by
Isaac Pruden, Gilbert Allen, )
Samuel Freeman, Jonas Phillips, \ Elders.
Matthias Crane, Joseph Lindsly, )
Silas Condict, John Mills, \

The following is appended to the call :
" At a parish^meeting of the first presby-
terian Church and Congregation in Morris
Town on Monday the 21st Day of July, A.D.
1794.
Resolved, That a call be preferred to Mr.
James Richards to be the pastor of this
congregation. One hundred and forty-two
votes being taken for giving the call, and
two votes for his being invited to preach a
further time on trial.
♦The two following facts are of interest in connection with
this date : George O'Hara advertised that his stage would
commence running from Morristown to Powles Hook, (Jersey
City,) on first Monday of April, 1795, twice a week for 9
shillings, and one penny a pound for all baggage above 7 lbs.,
way passengers 4d. a mile. Morristown postoffice was the
only one in the county in 1795. In it letters were advertised
for persons at Bedminster, Mendham, Haskingridge, Bottle
Hill, (Madisonj, New Market, Flanders, Hanover, Bound
Brook, Franklin, Mt. Hope, Pompton, Ramapaugh. Record

Resolved, That the Elders and Trustees
be a committee to sign the call in behalf of
the Congregation to be given to Mr. Rich-
ards.

I will simply add. The Record, Vol. II.
p. 149, indicates that Mr. Richards began
the active duties of the pastorate as early
as February, 1795. Can you imagine any
reason for a delay of over two years in his
installation .''

REV. ALBERT BARNES.
It was fully expected that a sketch of the
life of the Rev. Albert Barnes, the sixth
pastor of our church, would have been pre-
pared for this number of the Record. But,
when the attempt to gather the materials
necessary for the article was made, it was
almost impossible to collect such facts,
without which, even the barest sketch
would be almost an insult to the readers of
the Record ; certainly a pain to those ven-
erable members of the church and congre-
gation whose memories carry them back to
his time.
Albert Barnes occupied too large a space
in the Presbyterian church ; he was too
prominent in his time, in the field of letters,
especially, of biblical research ; and alto-
gether too grand a man to permit even the
briefest notice of his life to be made without
the presentation of such incidents as would
give present readers, who can only know
him by report, some idea of him and his
character. Few, very few of the congrega-
tion have personal recollections of him.
He was installed February 8, 1825, and
was dismissed June 8, 1830. After his dis-
missal he played a prominent part in the
history of the troubles of the church, and
was even at one time tried for heresy before
the Presbytery to which he was attached.
Nearly two generations have passed away
since Mr. Barnes left this church, but there
must be some who can give their personal
reminiscences of him.
The intention, so long cherished, of pre-
paring a sketch of his life must be post-
poned until the next issue. In the mean-
THE RECORD.
53
time will not some who must have known
Mr. Barnes while he was here in Morris-
town, furnish the Record with such facts,
anecdotes, and personal recollections of him
as will aid.
Any printed matter, giving particulars
about him, scraps from newspapers and
other publications, will be valuable. Kind
friends in other localities have cheerfully
^responded to calls made upon them in this
direction. But they cannot give what can
only come from those who knew Mr. Barnes
personally.
In this connection, let it be added, that
facts generally, about any of the former
pastors of the church and prominent men
of the congregation, will be most accept-
able.
The following article taken from"7"/^t'
Church Union " of April i, 1876, relating to
a most interesting event in Mr. Barnes's life,
will furnish some idea of the kind of printed
matter needed. There must be persons in
the congregation who have many such, in
their possession, in which are to be found
valuable notices. If placed in the posses-
sion of the Record, they can be used for
occasions such as the present, and will
be returned to the owner.
CONVERSION OFALBERT BARNES.
BY PROFESSOR MEARS, OF HAIMILTON COL-
LEGE.
While at Fairfield Academy, Mr. Barnes
had been decidedly sceptical in his views ;
but before he left that institution he was
roused from his unbelief by reading the ar-
ticle, " Christianity," by Dr. Chalmers, in
the Edinburgh Encyclopcedia. He was sa-
tisfied with the drift of the argument ; he
gave up his speculative scepticism, but had
no intention of going a step further. He
came to Hamilton College " resolved to be
an honest, upright, moral, industrious man
and to leave religion out of the question."
His plans were laid for the study of law.
Thus matters stood until February of the
following year, when occurred the first
general revival the college (or the neigh-
borhood since 1800) had enjoyed. My chief
informant as to its character and influence
is the Rev. H. H. Kellogg, of Guthrie, Iowa,
whose class, two years behind that of Mr.
Barnes, included such names as those of
Judge Bacon, of Utica, and Secretary Wool-
worth, of Albany. He says:
" The revival of religion exerted a power-
ful influence upon every class in college,
and upon the community by which we were
surrounded. * * Several of our students
had spent the previous vacation in places
blessed with the visitation of the Divine
Spirit, and returned to College with hearts
glowing with love to Christ, and to the
souls of their impenitent associates. * *
The work commenced in college."
The narrator himself was, as he trusts,
" the first of those who found Jesus, or ra-
ther who was found of Him."
The circumstances of his conversion are
so closely connected with that of Mr.
Barnes, that they belong properly to this
narrative. He says :
" Mr. Barnes was my senior by two years
in college grade, and much more than that
in age, yet it was my privilege to enjoy a
more than usual intimacy with him. Du-
ring the second term of the year, about the
middle of February, I went into his room to
pass away a dull hour. Our tutor, the Rev.
Salmon Strong, of blessed memory, (who
died in Harrisburgh, Pa., July 14th, 1872,) had
preached a sermon that morning of unusual
earnestness — his heart warmed with love to
our souls — from Matt. v. 25, 26," Agree with
thine adversary quickly." The sermon, how-
ever, had passed through my mind leav-
ing no impresssion on my careless heart.
Not so with Mr, Barnes. Soon after I was
seated, he said to me — " Kellogg, what do
you think of that idea of Strong's to-day .''"
" What idea ?" said I. " This : that sinners
in hell will continue to sin, and thus, in
place of paying their debt, will increase it,
and consequently can never come out of
their prison." " I suppose it is true," I re-
plied. To which he rejoined : " I do not
believe a word of it. I know if I was in
such a place as they represent hell to be, I
would stop sinning,' "
In two weeks the prayers and pious coun-
sels of classmates and friends were reward-
ed by Kellogg's conversion, thus unwit-
tingly promoted by Barnes. Nor did the
impression made upon the latter vanish
away. According to Mr. Kellogg, the con-
flict was long and severe. For many weeks
he struggled with his growing convictions.
54
THE RECORD.
His reservedness and his known skeptical
tendencies, together with his admitted abil-
ity, prevented that near approach and those
earnest christian efforts, on the part of
pious students, which might have been
blessed in his case, as they were in that ot
others, to an earlier conversion. Mr. Barnes
himself mentioned, in the interview al-
ready referred to, that one ot his classmates
felt a deep interest in his condition. " Sub-
sequently," says Mr. Barnes, " he told me
he felt it his duty to talk to me on the sub-
ject as he did. He performed his duty. He
produced no impression on my mind."
Mr. Kellogg says : — " His was a struggle
in respect to his plans of life. He expected
■ to enter upon the study of law. His place
as a student, and as he fondly hoped, as a
practitioner, was already engaged in Utica,
in the office of his friend, Hiram Denio, late
Judge of the Court of Appeals, N. Y. If he
became a christian he must forsake all for
Christ. He must sacrifice that more brilli-
ant career which he and his friends had an-
ticipated. The gains, the honors, the friend-
ships of life would all, as he viewed it, be
sacrificed b}'^ his choice of the christian life."
Mr. Barnes traces his conversion at last
to the influence of another classmate. " It
so happened that my friend Avery became
converted, and in a few words stated his
own feelings to me. It was the means, I
trust, of my conversion, if I was ever con-
verted to Christianity."
Charles Avery, LL. D., afterwards, 1834
— 1869, Professor of Chemistrj^ in Hamilton
College, says he met Mr. Barnes on the hill-
side, and addressed him with the question,
" What do you think is the cause of the
great work which is now going on in Col-
lege .'" and then left him to his own reflect-
ions. This brief interview he regards as
the means of bringing his classmate to a
decision. It would imply that skeptical
difficulties were still in the way of Mr.
Barnes' conversion.
Mr. Kellogg says: — "After his conver-
sion, Mr. Barnes' stay in college was short.
It was only on the last and short term of
his senior year, that his avowal of disciple-
ship was made. His life was consistent,
but no special forwardness or activity dis-
tinguished it. He appeared like a babe in
Christ, a lamb ot the flock." — Presbyterian.
SUGGESTIONS.
That members of the congregation aid
the Record in preserving history, by send-
ing to the editor, old newspapers, magazines,
or other printed matter, containing histori-
cal notices about the church, its pastors
and prominent men ; or about the city or
county. One of the main objects in the
publication of this paper is the preservation
of just such facts. It is hoped that there <
will be presented in the Record such a
publication as will induce its subscribers to
preserve it in a bound form.
In addition to this printed matter, facts,
anecdotes, and incidents from personal recol-
lection, of pastors and others, sketches of
whose lives are worth preserving, are very
desirable.
Apropos : since the above was written,
the following letter was received from Mr.
Durant, the pastor.
It is hoped that this letter will have the
effect which the appeals heretofore made in
the Record have failed of accomplishing.
Editor of The Record :
My Dear Sir : — How can we get the at-
tention of those who possess items of inter-
est respecting the past history of the First
church, of its old members, of the town and
its people .'' There must be many whose me-
mories could furnish us with material worthy
to be preserved in the permanent type of
The Record. And there must be many
more who have old diaries, old newspapers,
old pamphlets, or clippings preserved in
scrap-books, from which a large number of
forgotten facts might be gathered. Then,
too, there must be many old family Bibles
which could correct or complete our Re-
gisters in the spelling of names, the dates
of birth, marriage and death. The value of
such material, especially of old newspapers,
pamphlets and magazine articles, is strik-
ingly apparent in the recently published
volume ot McMaster's " History of the Peo-
ple of the United States," the most popular
history that has been published since the

larity and thoroughness very largely to the

THE RECORD.
55
The plan of making The Record a store-
house for material of this sort, collecting
and reprinting whatever of value can be
found that bears upon the history of the
church and town and people of this region ;
it seems to me is a most admirable plan. For
the bound volumes of The Record will thus
give permanence, as well as put within
handy reference, this valuable material
which is now buried in the dust of garrets.
I shall be glad to assist you in becoming
responsible for the return of any old books
or papers ofTered for publication ; and also
in examining and copying from any diaries,
files of newspapers, or family Bibles, which
the owners are willing to open in their
houses, though preferring not to loan them
out for the purpose.
How can we get the attention of those
who possess this valuable material for his-
tor)' — material that, in all probability, will
be lost forever in a few years, unless pre-
served now in the columns of The Record ?
Doubtless those who have it are willing to
furnish it. But how shall we know who
have it, unless the readers of The Record
take pains to inform us.

THE OLD COURT HOUSE AND JAIL.
At the beginning of this century there
stood on " the 6^;-t'if«," opposite what is now
the United States Hotel, a quaint, old and
somewhat dilapidated frame building. It
had been painted red, but had grown gray
and lost its original color. It was built after
no particular order of architecture, and was
neither in its appearance, nor when the use
to which it was put, was considered, a pleas-
ant sight. It was an incumbrance and a
blot on the public square, but the original
deed for that part of the Green where it was
located, was made with the condition that
"if the Court House aforesaid should be re-
moved to any other place, then this inden-
ture and everything therein contained to be
void, and title to the aforesaid lot of land
to revert" to the grantors of the deed.
It would seem from this that this quaint
building, which was used for a Court House
and Jail, must have been in existence at the
time of this deed ; which was dated Septem-
ber 7, 1771.
In 1816, April i, the trustees of the church
conveyed to certain persons, subscribers to
the fund, for the consideration of $1,600,
that part of the land now used as a public
square. The deed effecting this last convey-
ance, contained a condition, that no build-
ing shcHild be erected on this last named
lot, except a meeting house, a market house,
a Court House and Jail. In 1868, how-
ever, means were taken to wipe out this
condition and the title to the " Green " is
now held free from anj'^ such incumbrance.
The object of this reference to the old
Court House was not to refer to the history
of the green nor its title. Mr. Green, in his
admirable notice of Morristown, in the his-
tory of Morris County, has entered some
what fully into this subject. What is de-
sired is to call the attention of those, who
can remember it, to this old structure and
to ask some kind friends to give recollec-
tions about it for the Record.
It had apartments in it for the Jailor, or,
as he was called, the Under Sheriff. The
Sheriff, of later times, rarely occupied these
apartments, as is now done in the present
Court House.
What became of the old building.^ When
was it destroyed.? What was its history.?
Who can tell .?
At the beginning of this century a library
was in existence in Morristown. It was in
connection with an association called the
Morris County Agricultural Society. A
collection df about fifteen hundred volumes
were gathered ; many of which, when the
Morristown Library and Lyceum was form-
ed, were transferred to the shelves of that
institution. The history of this library as it
existed in connection with the Agricultural
Society and afterwards under the auspices
of the Apprentices librar}^ is given by Rev.
R. S. Green in his history of Morristown.
Hamilton College, at its last commence-
ment, did itself honor in conferring the title
of D. D. on the Rev. R. S. Green, our for-
mer pastor. We congratulate the college
and the Rev. R. S. Green, D.D., and hope
we are the first in Morristown to annex the
title to the naiqe so deserying the honor.

Pisa, translated from the Italian, for the
Duke. In 1405, before the reign of Charles

DOES IT PAY.
» For about twenty years, there has been
no place in Edwards county, in Illinois,
where intoxicating liquors could be obtain-
ed as a beverage. There is a satisfactory
conditron of things in that county that is
one of the best of temperance sermons.
The taxes are 33 per cent, less than in any
other county in Illinois. The length of the
sessions of its court is from two to three
days. The justices of the peace are called
but little from their ordinary pursuits.
From one to two persons in five or six years
are imprisoned in the county jail. It has
sent one man to State's prison for killing
his wife while drunk on whisky obtained in
a neighboring county. Its expenses in pro-
viding for paupers are $500 per year, while
the county next to it, where licenses are is-
sued, though only half as large, annually
pays for the same purpose $6,000. In
May, 1879, but two mortgages were on re-
card in the county. A very large per cent,
of the inhabitants are religious. Such ex-
emptions in the midst of a people weighted
down with alcoholic burdens ought to have
the eflfect to open their eyes, and to cause
the universal banishment of the bottles and
barrels and beer kegs, under which they are
now staggering.
Will some one, who believes in licensing
saloon and grop shop, calculate the taxes
paid by the citizens of Morris county for the
various expenses of providing for county
poor house, police offices. Court House and
Jail ; paying for the fees and salaries of the
several officers of the law, where their ex-
penses are the legitimate consequence of the
sale of rum by licensed saloon and groggery?
When the appalling result is reached, by an
honest inquiry, then continue the calcula-
tion, in all the ramifications of the subject
and record the misery and woe to wives and
children, to families and the community by
the traffic, licensed by those who were put
into office by the good tax paying citizens.
A series of meetings has been recently
held at Ocean Grove in this State, under the
auspices of a Temperance Association.
At one of these meetings Neal Dow, that
veteran in the Temperance movement, made
an address, in which he referred to the often
reiterated statement that prohibition in
Maine was -a failure. He proved conclu-
sively, however, by figures, that Maine fi-
nancially, as well as morally and religiously,
was a gainer by the enforcement of the
Maine law.
Space does not permit a repetition ot
his arguments and statements ; but they
were full and convincing. Of course, as
society is now constituted, even in Maine, it
is an impossibility to stop entirely the use
of intoxicants. But, if the experiment of
prohibition be fairly tried with good results
to the taxpayers, the citizens and the fam-
ily, so much at least, has been gained. Tak-
ing, then, the results in Maine and in the
small county of Edwards, III, would it not
pay to make trial of the same experiment
elsewhere ?

THE RECORD.
MORRISTOWN LIBRARIES.
When Mr. Spaulding had charge of the
Morristown Academy, a school paper called
the Avalon, was edited and published by his
scholars. A very interesting history ap-
peared in it [Feb. -April, 1879,] of Morris-
town Libraries, which, by permission of Mr.
Oscar Babbitt, its young author, is trans-
ferred to the Record. The patient exami-
nation which Mr. Babbitt gave to his subject
resulted in the production of an article
which is worthy of reproduction in a form
where it may be preserved for future refer-
ence.
There is nothing, perhaps, which awakens
more vivid reminiscencesjof the old citizens
of this county, than the sight of the present
beautiful library whose magnificent building
graces our street and the scholars of whose
school win laurels at foot ball and the ad-
miration of their friends at their studies.
The oldest man was but a small boy when
the first library was organized in Morris
County. This was in 1792. On the 21st of
September of that year, eleven of the in-
habitants of Morris CountJ^ met at the
house of the venerable Benjamin Freeman,
at Morris Town, and "advised and consult-
ed" upon the propriety of organizing a
society which should be called, " The Morris
County Society for the Promotion of
Agriculture and Domestic Manufactures."
It was a great step for these ancient gentle-
men, but they succeeded nobly.
Captain Pet Layton (a relic of the revolu-
tion) was chosen chairman, and Col. Rus-
sell, clerk. The constitution presented was
rather defective. A committee was appoint-
ed to revise it. The meeting then adjourn-
ed to meet at Mr. Freeman's house, on Sep-
tember 25th, 1792.
Such was the first meeting of the kind
ever held in Morris County, and so far as we
know, in New Jersey. These noble patriots,
scarce ten years after the great war, were
now seated peacefully together advising a
plan to help their less favored brethren
from the slough of ignorance. These pa-
triots realized the necessity of an education.
They understood clearly that our infant re-
public could not be of" one mind" long, if
her citizens remained uneducated. They
could not organize schools, and if they did,
there would be few who would be able to
avail themselves of the advantage, since
our forefathers had literally to work for a
living. They had their long evenings, and
these wise men conceived a plan by which
all niight obtain the desired knowledge
without neglecting their families.
The eventful week rolled round. The
committee had been busily engaged in re-
vising the old constitution, informing their
neighbors and friends of the great work con-
templated, and requesting their attendance.
When the hour for meeting came, there
were one hundred people present.
Samuel Tuthill, was installed chairman,
with Col. Russell again clerk. The con-
stitution was read as revised, and was
adopted. From it, we take (Art. VIII.) the
following " * * * * upon the applica-
tion of any member of the society for a
book, he shall deliver him one, and at the
same time, take a promissory note for the
same, to be returned in one (i) month from
the time, on paying one shilling for every
week over time." On October 7th, 1793,
this was amended, and the librarian was
only to keep an account of the book taken,.
Article XL informs us that the dues were
one dollar a year, " to be paid on the first
Monday in October, of each 3^ear," and that
the stock was transferable. Ninety-seven
of those present then signed the constitu-
tion, and a good portion of these paid
several dollars over the assessment for the
sake of encouragement. The total receipts
were two hundred and twenty-seven dol-
lars.
On October ist, 1792, the election of of-
ficers came off. Samuel Tuthill was elected
President. Joseph Lewis, Vice President.
Dr. W. Campfield, Secretary, W. Canfield,
Librarian and Israel Canfield, Treasurer.
Six gentlemen were then elected a commit-
tee of correspondence.
It was resolved that the society purchase
three books and a stamp for marking ail
books. " They then adjourned." The next
meeting was April ist 1795, at which the
by-laws were read and adopted, and from
which we learn that " the librarian was to
be at the library to deliver books on all
days, Sundays excepted, from six a. m. to
nine p. m." and " that he shall collect all
THE RECORD.

dues in specie." The society started with
ninety-six volumes. At the end of the year,
the treasurer reported $35.47 on hand, and
an addition of twenty volumes to the
library.
The society thus organized, went along
swimmingly, until 1812. when a " Morris Li-
brary Association" was started, and the
"Association for Promotion of Agriculture
and Domestic Manufactures" merged into it.
February 3d, 1812, a party of gentlemen
met at Bull's Hotel and agreed to the pro-
per measures, necessary for the organization
ot a Library, and adjourned until February
24th, on which day G. H. Ford was elected
President, and was to be Secretary as well.
A seal was ordered to be engraved. At the
next meeting April 6th, they elected Jabez
Campfield, librarian. The seal was received,
and was very unique. They received also a
communication from the President of the
" Societ}' for the Promotion of Agriculture
and Domestic Manufactures," who wished
to sell out the old organization. It was
duly accepted. The inventory showed 123
names, who were to be placed on the new
company's books, together with 396 vol-
umes, and other articles, amounting to
$656.55. At this meeting, a code of laws
was read and adopted, which was to govern
the Librar}'. It allowed a person holding a
share, to have a book out not longer than
one month, for which, each year, he was to
pay fifty cents.
It also recognized strangers and non-pos-
sessors of shares, but charged them ex-
travagant prices for allowing them the use
of books. No subsequent meeting is re-
corded until February, nth. 1815, but all
this time the Library was in good running
order. This meeting was of little impor-
tance. In 1820, an amendment was made
to the code of laws that anj'^ person, paying
one dollar, was entitled to all the privileges
of a stockholder. From the report of the
librarian for 1820, the first report since its
organization, we gather the following. The
amount of scrip taken, is $417.00. The
first year (1812) 144 books were taken out,
at a fee to the librarian of six cents each,
and in 1820, 600 were taken out, at two
cents each.
In 1823 a number of shares were confis-
cated by the association and advertised for
public sale in the Palladium of Liberty.
They were all sold, except four. In 1825,
the trustees presented Rev. A. Barnes, pas-
tor of the first Presbyterian Church, with
one of these (No. i) shares, " to be used by
him so long as he may remain pastor of the
said church," and not subjected to yearly
annuity. Mr. Barnes accepted the share,
and was elected a trustee.
The next library, for public benefit at
Morristown, was instituted June i6th, 1848.
The books and chattels of the former or-
ganization were purchased by the infant as-
sociation, which started with the brightest
prospects imaginable. This library was be-
gun solely for the benefit of the apprentices
of Morris County.
There were a great many in Morristown
at the time who had none of the literary
privileges which may be enjoyed now. This
fact caused some of the best men in the
town to get together and organize the
needed society.
From the constitution, which is a finely
written article, by Dr. R. W. Stevenson, we
learn that " The capital stock of the Asso-
ciation was limited to fifteen hundred dol-
lars, divided into shares of three dollars each,
half of which was in three months sub-
scribed."
This was a wise measure because the ap-
prentice for whom the library was intended
received no money for his work ; — what
money he did manage to obtain he must ei-
ther receive as a gift from his guardian or
secure in small sums by work done " after
hours."
Outsiders — that is, those people who were
neither stock holders nor apprentices —
could secure books only upon the payment
of excessive charges which were not limited
but were at the option of the librarian.
The library started with fifteen hundred
volumes, ranging with many and frequent
gaps, from Mother Goose to the English
Encyclopedia, and was considered for the
times a very good collection. The library
rooms were in the building now used by
James Douglas as a drug store.
The association with various vicissitudes
lived from 1848 until 1851. This library did
without doubt, a great deal of good. The
Apprentices' Library, at closing, had some
twenty-five hundred volumes including all
6o
THE RECORD.
from the ancient books of the " Society for
the promotion of Agriculture and Domes-
tic Manufacture" to the " latest edition of
Shakespeare in eight volumes." By com-
mon consent the library was closed and li-
terary mechanics were unable to read at
reasonable cost for sometime.
The Morris Institute succeeded the Ap-
prentices' Library Association. It lived
however but a short time. It was founded
February nth, 1854, with G. T. Cobb, Esq.
as its president and J. R. Runyon, Esq. its
secretary. They rented rooms in " Mr.
Marsh's building" which is now called
Washington Hall. They purchased or rent-
ed all the books of the Apprentices' Librarj^
and in addition had a reading room with some
of the prominent weekly and monthly peri-
odicals. But the enterprise was not a suc-
cess, the books were old and the privilege
of reading cost so much that but few avail-
ed themselves of it. The society dis-
solved in two years and all the books were
stored away in the building on the corner
of Court and Washington Streets. Soon
after this took fire and about half of the
books were destroyed. The rest were stored
in a safer place where they remained until
they were claimed lor the " New Library."
If any of the Associations whose history
we have endeavored to give, met with any
success it was because there were some who
were really interested in the welfare of that
institution. When this person died or his
zeal abated, then, unless there was some one
to take his place at the helm, the society
likewise perished. Such seems to be the
law of human nature,
About i860, a number of gentlemen began
to be impressed with the need of a library
which might support itself and be in no way
dependent upon the personal efforts of one
or even two gentlemen.
In 1863, the Morris Lyceum took the mat-
ter up and called a public meeting at Wash-
ington Hall, December 26th, 1865. At this
meeting, a committee was chosen consist-
ing of Messrs. J. Whitehead, J. F. Voorhees,
W. C. Caskey, W. S. Babbitt, J. T. Crane,
E. J. Cooper, G. T. Cobb, A. Mills and Rev.
R. N. Merritt. They drew up a charter which
they presented at a public meeting, January
6th, 1866. It passed the State legislature in
March of the same year.
The present library was really organized
in 1872, although, as we have said, the com-
missioners received the charter, several
years prior.
The meeting for organizing the " Morris-
town Library and Lyceum" was held in the
Grand Jury room. May i ith, 1872. At which
meeting $8,700 was reported to be uncondi-
tionally subscribed while $9,500 more had
been conditionally subscribed. The next
meeting was held in the same place. May
25th, 1872, at which time, after some dis-
cussion, a board of directors was chosen.
They immediately met and elected Mr. W.
L. King, President, Mr. J. Whitehead, Vice
President, Rev. W. G. Sumner, Secretary
and Mr. E. F. Randolph, Treasurer. A com-
mittee was appointed to " further subscrip-
tions" and another to " procure information
as to a site." At the meeting November
30th, 1872, Mr.W. S. Babbitt was elected Se-
cretary, having been the month previous
elected a director, owing to the departure
from town of Rev. W. G. Sumner. At the
same meeting, a communication from a ma-
jority of the stock holders of the Morris
Academy was received. They expressed a
willingness to transfer the deed of the pro-
perty to the Morristown Library and
Lyceum, provided that in the intended
building there should be a part set aside for
a classical boys' school, and that they should
receive stock in the new institution, in pro-
portion to the value of the Morris Academy
property. The board accepted this favor-
able offer and, the property having been ap-
praised, they issued the necessary certifi-
cates.
A legacy of five thousand dollars had also
been received during the year. This be-
quest was by Mr. M. Blatchley who had
taken a generous interest in the library and
now his executors paid over this amount
solely for the purchase of books. At the
meeting of the board of directors May 28th,
1873, Mr. J. E. Taylor was elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr.
Randolph.
The board of directors had secured the
majority of the stock of the old Morris
Academy. Still there was some out which
could only be bought. So, at their request,
the old academy property was sold, October
13th, 1873, by G. W. Forsythe, Master in
THE RECORD,
6i
Chancery, for the sum of six thousand dol-
lars, to the Morristown Library and Lyceum.
About this time a very pretty piece of poe-
try appeared in the Morris Republican writ-
ten by " South Street,' we clip one stanza.
" My heart seem'd standing still, Tom, my eyes were dim
with tears,
" I thought o' their taking it away, where it's stood for many
years ;
" They're going to build a library, Tom, open'd to high and
low,
" In the place of the old school-house of fifty years a?o."
How true this appears, for the new library
is indeed "open'd to high and low."
The resolutions presented at the meeting
January loth, 1874, were two, the first offer-
ing all architects an opportunity to submit
plans for a proposed building ; the second
" that immediate steps be taken to remove
and store in a safe place, the old ' academy
bell." The academy building was sold to
Mr. Kelly lor a small sum who removed it
from the grounds. March 28th, 1874, a
meeting was held at which it was decided
to have the proposed building of stone ; and
each architect was requested to change his
plan accordingly. May 22nd Mr. G. B. Post
was selected as the architect as his plans
conformed most closely to the designs of
the board. Stone was discovered of fine
quality and attractive appearance on the
land of the Morris Aqueduct near the Jockey
Hollow road. On testing it. it proved all
that could be desired and as there seemed to
be an abundance, the board accepted the
friendly offer of the Aqueduct Company to
give them the stone.
During the year 1875, the building had
been entirely enclosed. A large number of
governmental documents had been received
from Washington and Trenton, as well as a
complete file of the " Palladium of Liberty"
from the daughters of the publisher, Mr.
J. Mann; these have been added to the li-
brary.
During 1876 but little was done. Inside,
the building had been partitioned off" and
the gas pipes had been laid, while without
the walls had been pointed and the tile had
been " set." But during the succeeding
year much more was accomplished. The
building was nearly completed. The hall
was finished except the drapery and the
drop curtain. Avery brief sketch of this
room may not here be amiss. The hall is
nearly square. It has three ways of admit-
tance, by the front door, eight feet wide,
and by doors on either side of the building.
The stage is 23x50 feet, with retiring room
in the ^/z/r^W beneath it. The gallery is
made semicircular, conforming somewhat to
the curve of the stage. Four furnaces
throw their united heat, when desired, into
the hall. There are four private boxes, two
on either side of the stage, and they are
very finely made. The whole room is fit-
ted up with opera chairs. It has a seating
capacity of about one thousand. The
acoustical properties of the hall are pro-
nounced perfect.
At this time the library and reading
rooms were in a bare and unfinished con-
dition. They had secured for it the books of
the " Apprentices' Library." August 14th,
1878 was set apart by the directors for the
opening of the Library and Lyceum and it
was a splendid success. Almost everyone
who had heard of the library came during
the day and evening, and were shown over
the building by the directors. The ladies
of the city had trimmed the library and
reading rooms with flowers, and secured a
band for the evening.
The library and reading rooms open to-
gether. The front room neatly covered
with a fine double linoleum and furnished
with elegant walnut tables and chairs, is used
as a reading room. On the tables may be
found all the latest periodicals of importance,
as well as some German and French month-
lies. These may be read by anyone gratui-
tously. The other room is a very large one
and is used for the library. It is fitted up
in alcoves with shelves ranged around the
room. There are at present, exclusive of
Public Documents, some 5207 vols, and con-
stant additions are being made. The charge
for the privilege of taking books from the
library is very small. That 2245 vols, were
taken from the building in six months, is
pretty conclusive proof that the people of
Morristown really appreciate the efforts of
the gentlemen who have devoted so much
time and money to the library. In the rear
of Library and running the whole width of
the building is the Morris Academy, now a
very flourishing institution.
On the whole the Library and Lyceum,
together with the School, may be said to be

a grand success, much grander in fact than
any of the directors, at the meeting in '72,
ever expected. The Hbrary is the culminat-
ing point of all previous Morristown li-
braries.
What man in Benjamin Freeman's house
in 1792, would have dared to prophesy such
wide results from their feeble efforts? Still
we, who may profit by the library have not
only to thank and praise those venerable
patriots, but also a gentleman of our day to
whom we should be more than grateful for
the great work he has done for the library.
We refer to the President of the Board of
Directors :
" I wander'd every where, Tom, till the time for us to part,
" Then 1 left the dear old place with a sad and heavy heart ;
" I thought of our dead playmates, Tom, and my tears began
to flow
" As I bade fare-well to the school-house of fifty years ago."
HON. IRA CONDICT WHITEHEAD.
In the sketch of this gentleman's life,
given in the last number of the Record,
reference was mostly made to him, as con-
nected with the church, and but little said
about him as a Justice of the Supreme
Court. There are some incidents in his life,
as a Judge, which space would not permit
to be given before.
When Judge Whitehead took his seat on
the bench, no more able or brilliant array
of Counsel was, to be found anywhere than
at the Bar of New Jersey. At the Capital
of the State were Peter D. Vroom, Garret
D. Wall.Wm. Halsted and Henry W. Green,
afterwards Chief Justice and Chancellor,
whose decisions in both those positions have
been quoted by the English Courts with
great approbation, and Mercer Beasley, now
Chief Justice of the State. At this end of the
State were Isaac H. Williamson, Theo-
dore Freelinghuysen, Att'y Gen. and U. S.
Senator, Wm. Pennington, for seven years
Governor, Oliver S. Halsted, Senr., after-
wards Chancellor, and Chancellor Asa
Whitehead, Aaron S. Pennington. Henry A.
Ford, Jacob W. Miller. Among the younger
men were Benjamin Williamson, afterwards
Chancellor for many years, Edward W.
Whepley, afterwards Chief Justice, Amzi
Armstrong, A. C. M. Pennington. In other
parts of the State were Alexander Wurts,
Abraham Browning, Abraham O. Zabriskie,
Chancellor for one term, Wm. L. Dayton,
made Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court at the early age of 29, afterwards U.
S. Senator and minister to France, Peter
Vredenburg, also Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court. Joseph C. Hornblower was
Chief Justice. These are but representative
men.
Judge Whitehead's first experience, as a
Judge in a murder trial, was most peculiar.
It was an important case, interesting in all
its aspects and it created the profoundest
sensation in the county of Essex where it
was tried.
A house, near the Market street depot,
at Newark, had been burned between eight
and nine o'clock at night, and two persons, a
man and his wife, destroyed by the fire.
Suspicion pointed at once to a man named
Thomas Marsh, the former owner of the
property. He had exchanged it with Gers-
hom Cheddick for a farm near Rahway.
Marsh was a shrewd, cunning man, but, this
time, had been outwitted by Cheddick in
making the exchange. After his arrest.
Marsh was indicted. The theory of the
State was that Marsh, finding himselfcheat-
ed, determined that Cheddick should reap
no advantage from his fraud, and resolved to
burn the house down, before Cheddick
could take possession. But Cheddick, fear-
ing that he would not obtain possession of
the house in Newark, removed his family
thither before he was expected. and was sleep-
ing soundly in the house on the fatal night.
Marsh lived in New York, and when the
trial came on, it was necessary that his
presence should be proved in Newark and
near the house. The evidence of his guilt, en-
tirely circumstantial, was dependent, in a
large measure, upon the exact moment of
time when the fire broke out. According to
the theory of the State, Marsh came out
from New York in the train leaving at eight
o'clock, went to the house,only a few minutes
walk from the depot, fired it and returned to
the city in the train leaving Newark at nine
o'clock. The evidence was strongly conclu-
sive as to Marsh's guilt.but there was a linger-
ing doubt in the minds of many as to its being
sufficient to convict. He was, however, con-
victed. His counsel were a gentleman and
his son ; the lather, one of the leading men
at the Bar of Essex County, an experienced
and able advocate and who afterwards was

raised to the highest judicial position in the
State. The son, then just Hcensed, was a
young man of great ability and afterwards
became prominent as a politician. The
father and Judge Whitehead had been rival
candidates for the position of associate Jus-
tice, in which contest Judge Whitehead had
been successful. During the trial the elder
counsel for the prisoner, an impulsive,
quick tempered man, had been led away by
his zeal for his client, and perhaps by other
feelings, to a course of conduct, which no
one regretted more than he, and Judge
Whitehead was obliged to order him into
arrest. It was a most trying ordeal for
a Judge, especially under the circum-
stances. The forbearance, the dignity
and Christian bearing of Judge Whitehead
were most remarkable. But the most singu-
lar part of the whole transaction was this,
that before the close of the trial and on the
summing up of the testimony to the Jury,
the leading counsel for the prisoner showed
most unmistakable evidence of aberration of
mind. This placed the presiding Judge in
the most delicate position. The manner in
which, through the whole trial, he had met
the difficulties of the case, had elicited uni-
versal respect, but here was a new dilemma
to meet which there could have been no
possible preparation. It was met, however,
and in a manner which only increased the
admiration of those present.
After the verdict of guilty, Marsh employ-
ed Asa Whitehead and Gov. Pennington,
and a motion for a new trial was made
to Chief Justice Hornblower, who was called
in to hear and decide the motion. The
Chief Justice, it is said, after argument, de-
cided to refuse the motion and had actually,
prepared an adverse opinion, but finally
yielded to the arguments and persuasions
of Judge Whitehead, and the motion was
granted. Marsh was retried and acquitted.
The sound common sense mind of Judge
Whitehead made him a valuable addition to
the Bench. His opinions were always re-
garded with respect, and were the result of
thorough research and the most patient in-
vestigation. One of the earliest delivered
by him, in 1842, was in the celebrated case
of Den. vs Allaire. This was an impor-
tant case, involving many intricate and ab-
struse principles of law, and the opinion of
Judge Whitehead, which was acceded to by
all the members, showed immense amount
of industrious labor and a thorough exami-
nation of the subject. The cause was argued
by the first Counsel in the country, Henry
W. Green and William L. Dayton for Plain-
tiff, and Peter D. Vroom and George Wood
for Defendant.
All causes presented to J udge Whitehead,
both at Circuit and at Bar, received the
same patient, industrious investigation, and
the record of his opinions left in the books
of reports, only serve to enforce the
respect that is due to a learned and la-
borious Jurist and impartial Judge, and a
Christian gentleman.
CLIPPINGS.
There is a beautiful practice common
throughout a portion of Mexico for little
children to kneel before a stranger and pray
that he may have a safe journey.
A Coptic church of the fifth century has
recently been discovered among the ruins
of Thebes. The way down to it is by five
brick steps, the floor is tiled and the walls
are of rough bricks, bearing inscriptions.
On a stela, covered with a hard white sub-
stance, are 300 lines written in red ink in
Theban, forming part of a sermon directed
against heretics.
In Prussia the numeral Protestants are to
the numeral Catholics almost exactly two
to one. In Bavaria the position is more than
reversed in favor of the Catholics, who are
five to two ; in Elsass Lothringen they are
more than four to one. On the other hand.
Saxony, in spite of its Catholic king, counts
less than 100,000 Catholics and not far from
3,000,000 Protestants. The Jews are about
one-half of the population.'
It is now claimed that Prof. Sattler of
Munich, has solved the problem of the day of
Christ's birth, and that he has demonstrated
the fact that " Jesus was born on the 25th
of December, 749 years after the founding
of Rome :" so that the current year is pro-
perly 1888 of this era, rather than 1883.
This claim is heralded widely by German,
English and American periodicals. Yet
the truth is, that the arguments as made by
Professor Sattler, and the precise results re-
ported by him, are identical with those given
64
THE RECORD.
by the [Rev'd Dr. S. J. Andrews, of Hart-
ford, Connecticut, twenty years ago, in the
Chronological Essays which precede his life
of our Lord, — a work which has prominence
in England as in America for its critical ac-
curacy in chronological details. The only
addition by Professor Sattler is the corro-
boratory evidence of certain Roman coins
to which he refers. — Stmday School Times.
It has been claimed for German scholars
that any statements made by them on bibli-
cal or scientific subjects are entitled to the
highest respect because of the well known
fact that they give to the examination of
any subject most extended investigation
with patient and profound research.
The contributions of American scholars
are now received with almost equal respect.
In fact, it may be said that on both sides of
the Atlantic, in many instances the results
of American scholarship are held in just as
high estimation as are those of the Ger-
man.
In the last issue of the Record reference
was made to this subject of Christian Chro-
nology in connection with Prof. Sattler's
views ; but. a doubt was expressed by the
Editor, as to the date fixed by him of the
birth of Christ, that is the 25th of Dec.
It is not known whether Dr. Andrews
agreed with Prof. Sattler with regard to
this date, and the extracts just given from
the Sunday School Times throw no light on
that subject. Whether there is an agree-
ment between these two learned scholars,
or not, that doubt is still held. [Editor.]

The time may be delayed, the manner
may be unexpected, but sooner or later, in
some form or another, the answer is sure
to come. Not a tear of sacred sorrow, not
a breath of holy desire, poured out in prayer
to God, will ever be lost ; but in God's own
time and way it will be wafted back again
in clouds of mercy, and fall in showers of
blessings on you and those for whom you
pray. — Prof. IV. S. Tyler.

OVERDOING IN CHARITIES.
Laziness and intemperance are the two
great ciimes against society. And we have
much reason for believing that they are in-
creased by the pious zeal of good people to
provide for the indolent and the victims of
drink.
Society gives too much in mistaken
charity.
If the lazy and the intemperate were made
to work and restrained from drink, there
would be very little need of providing for
the poor. We would require hospitals for
the sick and wounded. Providential mis-
fortune must be cared for, and the deserving
poor must be supported.
But it is a divine principle that he who
will not work does not deserve to have any-
thing to eat.
Therefore we would have laziness and in-
temperance treated as vices to be punished ;
and certainly the want of food is a light
penalty to impose on him who will drink
what is evil and will not work for his daily
bread.
" The worst enemy, therefore, of those en-
gaged in real charitable work is the indis-
criminate and reckless giver. He undoes
whatever good work they do." — N. Y. Ob-

The Record for next month will contain
interesting extracts from Mr. Barnes's
"Manual of Our Church."
Special attention is requested to the list
begun in the next column. Doubtless most
ot our readers can furnish some information.
It is very desirable that the facts should be
had before publishing the roll of members
received during the pastorates of Drs.
Fisher and McDowell.
A private diary contains this entry, u nder
date of Sept. 29, 1842 : "Attended the cen-
tenary celebration. Doct. Fisher preached
the sermon, in place of Dr. Richards, who
was sick. The house was pretty well filled."
This was probably the centenary anniver-
sary of the church, since Dr. Johnes came
in 1742; but it seems to have passed very
quickly out of memory. Dr. Irving writes,
" When I was hunting facts, no one men-
tioned that celebration to me." Who can
give an account of the occasion.''
WHO CAN TELL?
Information is desired concerning the fol-
lowing members of the church. Did they
unite with other churches, and if so, what
churches.' Did they remove from Morris-
town, if so, when.' Are they dead ? If so,
the date of death ? Are they living.' If so,
where.' In case of the names of women, if
married after joining the church, what was
the date of marriage and name of husband?
Our readers will confer a f.wor by sending a
postal card, addressed to the "Pastor of
First Presbyterian Church, Morristown, N.

nish respecting any one or more of the

CLIPPINGS
THE LAURENTIAN LIBRARY.
Passing up a staircase at one corner of
this cloister, I came out on its upper gallery,
close to the door of the vestibule to the
Laurentian Library. Entering at this door,
one finds one's self at the foot of the fine
triple staircase built by Vasari, whose am-
ple and majestic lines form a fitting introduc-
tion to the chamber to which it conducts: a
long, narrow hall, that at first sight reminds
you of a modern church. Rows of benches
and racks, resembling slips, stretch on either
hand throughout its length, with a central
aisle and a desk at its farther end. On ex-
amination you see that the eighty-eight
racks are bookcases, where, each fastened
by a chain, the books are laid ready for the
occupant of the bench to turn their leaves.
This was the method adopted when this
hall was finished in I57i,and it has been
left unchanged to the present da3\ When
readers were few it was not an inconvenient
system, but now all books desired for refer-
ence are taken from their places and carried
to an adjoining room, fitted up with modern
conveniences tor the student. The main
hall, therefore, presents no appearance of a
library, all the racks being covered with
curtains, and the clerks, with a few chance
visitors, being the only occupants of the
room. The dark ceiling and pavement, and
the racks of beautifully carved wood almost
black with time, the ancient stained win-
dows, the work of a scholar of Raphael. John
of Udine, give it a solemn and impressive
magnificence. It seems a fitting home for
the relics of antiquity. A long, narrow
panel, inscribed with the names of the
books in that division, is attached to each
rack. The attendant lifts the green cloth
from these treasures with a reverent
hand. He shows you a Syrian Bible of the
sixth century, a Greek Gospel of the eighth,
and, earliest of all, a Virgil, with annota-
tions made in the year 494. Later manu-
scripts, many of them richly illuminated,
abound ; among the illustrations more in-
teresting to ordinary eyes are the contem-
porary portraits of Dante, of Petrarch and
Laura. — Springfield Republican.

THE RECORD.
Italy, and is so called from Lorenzo de Me-
dici, its real founder. It was begun by Cos-
mo de Medici, the grandfather of Lorenzo.
Cosmo was a merchant who accumulated an
immense fortune, but, notwithstanding his
intense application to his business pursuits,
gave great attention to letters. He in-
structed his friends and correspondents to
procure for him ancient manuscripts in
every language. The Eastern Empire was
then falling to pieces, and this enabled him
to obtain many inestimable works in Heb-
rew, Greek, Chaldaic, Arabic and in the In-
dian languages.
These books thus gathered were the nu-
cleus of the great library. Lorenzo made
many additions, donating his own library to
it, and enriching it with books collected by
him from every part of the earth. He em-
ployed every available means to procure the
rarest volumes on every subject. Politian
and Pico, two celebrated bibliophilists of
his time, were, under his guidance, diligentl}'
engaged in purchasing, arranging and cata-
loguing books.
Lorenzo at last erected the present build-
ing occupied by this library, also using the
talent and genius of V'asari, as the architect,
in its erection.
During the tr^jublous time attendant upon
the ascendancy to power of Savonarola and
his subsequent downfall, great loss to the
library was feared from pillage b}^ the pop-
ulace. But, while the frenzy of the people
was at its greatest height, some of the youth
of the noblest families of Florence guarded
it until the fury was over.
Prior to this many of the volumes had
been distributed as presents by Savonarola
to the cardinals and other eminent men,
whose favor he desired to oljtain.
Many of its volumes had been seized for
the use of the State, which was afterwards
obliged to sell these vf)lurnes to raise money
for its needs.
Leo X. purchased all he could obtain — re-
moved the library to Rome in 1508, where
it was kept until the accession of Clement
VII., who restored it to F"lorence where it
has since remained.
Prior to this, in 1494, during the invasion
of Italy by Charles VIII. of France, this in-
valuable library had been plundered by the
French — aided, to their eternal disgrace be
it written— by the Florentines themselves,
who openh'^ carried off or secretly purloined
whatever they could lay iheir hands
upon, that* was interesting, or rare, or
valuable. Manuscripts of inestimable
worth, exquisite sculptures, vases and
other works of art, shared in the general
ruin, so that the vast storehouses, which-
Lorenzo and his ancestry had been able
through their wealth and assiduity, to ac-
cumulate during half a century, were de-
molished in a day.
The present library contains 120,000
printed volumes and 6,000 manuscripts.

FALSE MESSIAHS.
THREE REMARKABLE SPECI.MEN.S.
Sabatai Sevi about the middle of the
seventeenth century, appeared at Smyrna
and proclaimed himself to the Jews as their
Messiah. Evelyn says that "the report of
Sabatai and his doctrine flew through those
parts of Turkey which the Jews inhabited ;
they were so deeply possessed of their new
kingdom and their promotion to honor, that
none of them attended to business of any
kind, except to prepare for a journey to
Jerusalem." Unfortunately Sabatai was so
zealous that he was locked up in the Castle
of Abydos, where, we are told, "he composed
a new mode of worship." He was carried to
Adrianople and his divinity put to a singular
test. The Grand Seignior ordered him to
be stripped naked and set up as a target for
the archers to shoot at. If his skin proved
arrow- proof his pretensions were to be ad-
mitted. Upon this Sabatai, to save his life,
turned Turk, declaring that he had long
been desirous of making so glorious a pro-
fession. The Jews, who were all ready to
start for Jerusalem, were much chagrined at
this proceeding — the historian says that
they "were overcome with confusion and
dejection of spirit."
Richard Brothers was one of the last of
the False Messiahs, and he made a good
deal of noise and not a few converts in Eng-
land toward the close of the last century.
He undertook to restore the blind to sight ;
he saw visions ; he emitted prophecies; he
published a new gospel, entitled: "A Re-
vealed Knowledge of the Prophecies and
Times." Among his disciples was Sharpe,

the celebrated engraver, together with a Mr.
Halked, M. P., who is said to have been a
man of considerable learning.
One last example of religious pretension
will bring us nearer home. Robert Mat-
thews, better known as Matthias, came to
New York to work as a house carpenter.
About 1829 he began to preach in the streets
of Albany. He permitted his beard to grow ;
he wore grotesque clothing ; he was repeat-
edly arrested for maki'ng a disturbance; he
professed to be a Jew ; he declaimed against
Freemasonry ; sometimes he mounted an
old and half-starved horse. He declared to
them that " He was the Spirit ofTruth ; that
the Spirit of Truth had disappeared from the
earth at the death of the Matthias men-
tioned in the New Testament ; that the
Spirit of Christ had entered into Matthias,
and that he was the same Matthias, the
Apostle of the New Testament, risen from
the dead." Some ot his dupes conveyed
their property to him, and then went into
insolvency. Ultimatel)' he was found out
and discarded. Of the subsequent career of
the prophet nothing is known, except that
he died in Arkansas.
THE CHURCH AND PROHIBITION.
The fact is that prohibitionists have
crowded a question of civil policy back into
the domain of ethical principles, and while
sometimes, perhaps, right on the question
of policy, they have generally gone wrong
on the question of principle. It is true that
human laws derive their binding force from
their conformity with divine enactments,
and the better the Catholic citizen under-
stands his duties to the church the purer
will be his conceptions of, and the readier
will be his compliance with, his duties to the
State. But farther than this it is scarcely
prudent to combine their respective spheres
of authority. While the State may well
hesitate, under present circumstances, to
enforce personal temperance by law, so the
church acts wisely by confining her applica-
tion of great moral principles to the private
conscience rather than that of the general
public. In short, the question of prohibi-
tion as it concerns whole communities, and
properly understood, belongs to the domain
of politics rather than theology, and it would
be a grave mistake to assert that there was
dogmatic authority binding Catholics on any
side of such question. What the State may
do is to say that the liquor traffic is the
prolific source of certain evils and inimical
to the general welfare ; and public authority
being specially organized to preserve and
not destroy, it cannot be a party to the de-
struction of its own existence by permitting
the continuance of so destructive an agent.
The State has the power to do any and all
things needed to fulfil the end of organized
society — viz., the preservation of the general
welfareof the people. If the State comes to
regard the liquor traffic as a disorganizing
agent, or as destroying its members or other-
wise rendering them unable to fulfil their
part ot that mutual relationship and obliga-
tion which exists between the citizen and
the State, then the question of restriction or
prohibition stands forth plain and simple as
one for state settlement. Viewed thus, the
church could find nothing in prohibition to
oppose. For instance, from judicial statis-
tics it is ascertained that a very large per-
centage of crime originates from frequenting
liquor saloons ; this fact alone is enough to
place prohibition on the list of preventives
to be used against crime — a basis which the
church could not and would not oppose,
since the State has a right to prevent as
well as to punish crime. Again, equally as
large a proportion of pauperism and lunacy,
which demands State aid to provide for, is
traceable to the convivial drinkfng com-
monly practised in liquor saloons ; that may
fairly place prohibition among the prevent-
ives of pauperism. Now, the church could
not say it was otherwise than right for the
State to seek relief from these burdens,
which right might be extended to prohibi-
tion without infringing in the least upon the
province of the church. It will thus be seen
that prohibition, when it appears in politics,
should be treated as a question of public
policy, one of a variety ot means for pro-
curing the well-being of the State, the dis-
cussion of which by no means necessarily
involves a conflict of religious principle
between the parties for and against \\..— The
Catholic World.

THE RECORD.
150 delegates were in attendance. "The
most marked interest and enthusiasm char-
acterized each session. The statistics of the
past year were inspiring ; 464 schools were
reported (an increase of over one-half from
last year's report), having 20,579 members
(an increase of 100 per cent). There are
four missionaries of the American Sunday
School Union at work in Southern Dakota,
and the excellent reports are largely due to
their efforts. Our work never looked so en-
couraging as now." So reports the Secre-
tary.
It is part of the irony of fate that Voltaire's
house is now occupied by the Geneva Bible
Society. Similar coincidences are found in
London. The Religious Tract Society's
premises are where Bibles were at one time
publicly burned, and the British Bible So-
ciety's house at Blackfriar stands where a
council in 1378 forbade Wycliffe from circu-
lating portions of the Scriptures, and where
he uttered the famous words : " The truth
shall prevail."
We picture death as coming to destroy ;
let us rather picture Christ as coming to
save. We think of death as ending ; let us
rather think of life as beginning, and that
more abundantly. We think of losing ; let
us think of gaining. We think of parting;
let us think of meeting. We think of going
away ; let us think of arriving. And as the
voice of Death whispers : " You must go
from earth," let us hear the voice of Christ
saying, " You are but coming to Me." —

There is a scientific principle called " the
survival of the fittest" and we can study
the growth of the church of God from his
stand point. How grandly the religion of
Jesus appears when we try it by this test.
It has now stood two thousand years, and
how many systems, during that time have
come up, blossomed and died. How many
of them are now on the brink of destruc-
tion, only waiting for some one to push
them over. — Rev. Mr. Vanalstyne, Mt.

BAPTISMS AND MARRIAGES.
The records of infant baptisms and of
marriages, from July, 1866, to June, 1877,
are at present inaccessible. Members of
the congregation during that time who had
children baptised, will confer a favor by
sending a note, or card, to the pastor, with
the birthdays of such children, and the
probable year of baptism. Notices of mar-
riages, with names and dates, during the
same period, are also requested. Family
Bibles probably contain the facts desired.
DATE ON THE BANNER OF SUNDAY
SCHOOL
In a former issue of The Record, refer-
ence was made to this subject. To obtain,
if possible, the true date of the organization
of the Sunday school, application was made
to that true friend of the school, J. D. Ste-
venson, Esq., now at San Antonio, Texas.
He says in his answer, recently received : —
" In regard to the history of the Sunday
school, I am not so well posted as you
think. I tried, while Superintendent, to be-
come so, but found it almost impossible.
The particular incident leading to my efforts
was the occasion of the grand Sunday school
rally at Mount Tabor under Mr. Page. We
had no fit Sunda}' school banner, and I inter-
ested our teachers in procuring one. After
raising the money — some $60— one of our
most active teachers, then Miss Mary Voor-
hees, afterwards Mrs. Stoutenburg, accom-
panied me to New York and bought the
materials.
Our next trouble was to get the true date
of the organization of the school and to se-
lect a motto. The only information I could
find as to the date was from Miss Sarah
Johnson, who remembered that in 1816 she
and others took part in the establishment
of the school. We, therefore, put that date
upon our new banner, where I suppose it is
to-day. The motto we chose at the same
time, and, after a meeting of the teachers
interested, and making and putting our en-
sign together, it was unfurled at the head of
our school AugustCth, (I think that was the
date) — 1870."

SKETCH OF THE HISTORY
OF THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
MORRIS-TOWN.
At what time, or by whom, Morristown
was first settled, is not certainly known.
The records of the County of Morris contain
no notices of its settlement, and there are
no documents extant, as far as can be ascer
tained, which throw any light on the first
organization of its civil and ecclesiastical
society. It is probable, however, that it was
settled in the early part of the last century
and that the inhabitants were chiefly from
Elizabeth-Town, Newark, and Long-Island.
They were undoubtedly principally, or en-
tirely, descendants of the settlers of New-
England ; and may therefore be supposed to
have brought with them habits of moralit3',
and a disposition early to possess the ordi-
nances of religion.
Among the regulations made by the Duke
of York lor settlers in the province, under
which regulations Morristown was probably
settled, we find the following, respecting the
support of the Gospel : — " Every township
is obliged to pay their own minister, accord-
ing to such agreement as they shall make
with him, and no man to refuse his own pro-
portion ; the minister being elected by the
major part of the householders and inhabi-
tants of the town."
The charter of the Church and congrega-
tion wasgranted by Johnathan BelcHer, Esq.,
Captain-General and Governor in chief over
the Province of New Jersej', Sept. i8, 1756.
At what time the Presbyterian Church
was organized is unknown ; but the Gospel
was probably preached regularly soon after
the settlement of the town. It is known
that there was preaching here, before the
installation of the first Pastor ;* but of the
circumstances, and of the influence ol those
labours, there is no record. Neither is it
known under what form of church govern-
ment, whether Congregational or Presby-
terian, the congregation was first organized.
As Ruling Elders are mentioned, however,
as early as the year 1747, it is probable that

THE RECORD.
the first organization of tine Church, as it
has continued since, was Presbyterian.
The authentic records of the church com-
mence in 1742. The following is the title of
the records of the Church, i<ept by its first
pastor: — "The Record of the Church, in
the town of Morris, from the first Erection
and founding of it there :■ — and, under Christ,
as Collected, and Setled, and Watered (in
much weakness) by Timo. Johnes, Pastor ;
who first came, Aug. 13th, 1742, stayed 6
Sab., and then fetched my Family, and
was ordained, Feb. 9, 1743," 42 till after
equinox.
Dr. Johnes was pastor of the church more
than half a century. He was a native of
Southampton, on Long-Island, and was edu-
cated at Yale College, in Connecticut. From
the catalogue of that college, it appears that
he graduated in 1737. From the same col-
lege, he some years afterwards received the
degree of Doctor of Divinity.
Dr. Johnes has left nothing, except the
general impression of his labours on the
minds of the church and congregation, by
which the nature and value of his services
can now be distinctly known. None of his
sermons were printed ; and few of his manu-
scripts are now remaining. The fact, how-
ever, that he received the highest honours
of a college, deservedly ranking among the
first in the United States, and that at a time
when literary degrees were not conferred in-
discriminately, and were therefore proof of
merit, is a sufficient evidence that his stand-
ing in the ministry was of a very respectable
order, and that he was well known in the
American churches.
He was a man of respectable literary at-
tainments ; but he was rather distinguished
for his fidelity as a Pastor. As a preacher,
he is said to have been clear, plain, practical,
and persuasive. His discourses were rather
an affectionate appeal to the heart, than pro-
found and elaborate disquisitions on abstruse
points of theology. He aimed rather to win
men to the practice of holiness, than to ter-
rify, and denounce them. Though faithful
in reproving and warning, yet it was with
mildness, and in the spirit of true Christian
affection. He suffered no public vice to es-
cape without reproof; but the reproof was
administered, in order that he might show
them " a more excellent way." He seems to
have come to his people, particularl}'^ to-
wards the latter part of his ministry, as an
affectionate Christian pastor ; their father,
counsellor and friend. No man could have
had a better claim to the title of Father in
the Gospel ; and no man probably would
have used the influence thus derived, more
to the practical benefit of the people.
Though not elaborate, or remarkably pro-
found, or highly eloquent in the pulpit, yet
Dr. Johnes had the faculty of instilling the
principles of religion into the minds of the
people. He was much with them. He
visited much from house to house. He had
become acquainted with the circumstances
of every family. He had the moulding and
training of the congregation. He had the
power therefore of stamping his own senti-
ments on their minds. Beloved as their
pastor, and venerated as their Spiritual
Father, his sentiments on religion were re-
ceived always with high respect, and almost
uniformly with cordial approbation. He en-
deavoured to bring religion home to the
business and bosoms of men — to associate
it with their ordinary notions of living — of
bargain and sale — of social, and political in-
tercourse— with all their attachments and
hopes and fears. By bein^ much wnth the
people, and by a faculty of adapting his in-
structions to their circumstances and capa-
cities, he laboured successfull}' to instil into
their minds pure sentiments ; to form them
to good habits ; and to train them up to holy
living. The consequence was that, at his
death, there were probably few congrega-
tions, that were so thoroughly instructed in
all that pertained to the practical duties of
religion.
Dr. Johnes was eminently a peace-maker.
His respectable standing, his high character,
his long experience, his practical wisdom,
and his undoubted integrity, secured the
confidence of the people, and led them to
listen with profound deference to him as
the arbiter of their disputes. Without in-
terfering, farther than became him as the
venerable pastor of a people, in the contro-
versies which arose in neighborhoods, he yet
contrived, successfully, to suppress a spirit
of litigation, and to produce an adjustment
of difficulties in consistency with the laws
of affection and concord. Habits of litiga-
tion he regarded as eminently inconsistent
THE RECORD.
with the. spirit of the Gospel, and he there-
fore laboured that his people mig-ht en-
deavour to " hold the unity of the spirit in
the bond of peace." Nor did he labour in
vain. He was regarded as the tried friend
of his people, and they unhesitatingly re-
posed with confidence on his judgment.
Dr. Johnes was a warm and decided fiiend
to revivals of religion. He received his edu-
cation in the time of President Edwards, and
Whitfield, and the Tennants. He came to
this place, in the period ot the greatest ex-
citement on the subject of religion that this
country has ever known. Many of the older
inhabitants of this place, can still recollect
the interest with v.'hich he read to his con-
gregation, accounts of revivals in other
parts of the countr}''. He laboured, and
prayed fervently that his own congrfegation
might be brought also to a participation of
the blessings that descended on other parts
of the land. His sentiments on this subject
are recorded in incidental notices attached
to the names of those who were added to the
church during these seasons of special
mercy. In one place he says, "'These the
sweet fruites of yt wonderful effusion of
God's adorable Grace began on our Sacra-
ment Day, July i, 1764." In another, "These
yt follow the ingatherings of yt Divine
harvest A.D. 1774. — Sweet drops of ye morn-
ing dew."
Few men have ever been more successful,
as ministers of the Gospel, than Dr. Johnes.
To have been the instrument of founding a
large and flourishing church, to have been
regarded as its affectionate Father and
Guide ; to have established the ordinances
of the Gospel, and formed the people to re-
spect its institutions ; to have produced that
outward order, and morality, and love of
good institutions now observable in this
congregation, was itself worthy of the toils
of his life. In being permitted to regard
himself as, under God, the originator of
habits, and good institutions which are to
run into coming generations, he could not
but look upon his toils as amply recom-
pensed. But he was perriiitted also to see
higher fruit of the labour of his ministry.
It pleased a gracious God, not only to grant
a gradual increase of the church, but also at
two different times to visit the congregation
with a special revival of religion. The first
occurred in 1764. This commenced, as has
been noted, on the sacrament day, [uly i.
The fruits of this revival, were the admission
to the church, within the space of about a
year, of ninety-four persons. Of the char-
acteristics of this revival little is known, ex-
cept that it is remembered by some of the
members of the church now living, to have
been a vvork of deep feeling, much anxiety,
awful apprehensions of the nature of sin,
and of the justice of God, impressive solem-
nity, and sound and thorough hopeful con-
versions to God. The second revival com-
menced in 1774. As the result of this revi-
val, about fifty were added to the church.
In 1790, there was another season of unusual
excitement on the subject of religion, and
about forty were united to the church.
Dr. Johnes died, of the dysentery, Sep-
tember 1794, aged 78 ; and was buried in the
common burying ground— where a plain un-
ostentatif)us monument marks his grave.

Of those admitted to the church, a consid-
erable part were the fruits of three revivals
of religion. The first commenced in the
spring of the 3'ear 1797 ; and as the result of
it, mote than one hundred persons con-
nected themselves with the church. The
second occurred in 1803, and 1804. and the
number added to the church as the fruits of
thi"; work, was about forty. The third com-
menced in 1808, and about eighty were in
consequence added to the church.
Of these revivals. Dr. Richards, in a letter
to ihe present Pastor, dated January 9, 1828,
says: " During my ministry at Morristown,
there were three seasons of special attention
to religion, the first and last of which were
the most considerable. The first was re-
markable chiefly from this circumstance,
that it came upon the congregation by sur-
prise. None of the church members, that
ever I could learn, were specially stirred up
to desire or expect it. Of course the church
appeared full of unbelief, when it was an-
nounced that the Lord was in the midst of
us, of a truth. Even those who from their
exemplary character might have been ex-
pected to be waiting for the consolation of
Israel, were manifestly unprepared for this
sovereign act of divine mercy. But, pre-
pared or unprepared, the windows of Heaven
were ooened, and the spiritual rain descend-
ed, and about one hundred souls were hope-
fully brought into the Kingdom as the fruit
and effect of this refreshing. They did not
all join the church at once, but principally
in the course of that and the following year.
"The second revival in 1803, was much
more local in its operations, and by no means
characterized with the same power. It ex-
cited considerable attention in the congre-
gation, and served to draw forth the prayers
and exertions of Christians, but still it was
confined chiefly to one or two neighbour-
hoods.
"The third and last of these interesting
seasons, I always regarded as the most pre-
cious— not because it seemed to take a wider
sweep, but because as far as it went, it ap-
peared to be more deep and effective, and
exerted a more benign influence on the
church. This revival was evidently prece-
ded by a spirit of prayer. To my latest
breath, I shall remember, how some of the
dear people of God appeared to feel, and
agonize, in their supplications before the
Lord, when imploring his gracious presence
in the midst of us. Through the whole of
the preceding winter, there had been some
feeling and some expectancy in the church
on this subject, occasioned perhaps by the
revivals which had occurred, and were then
occurring, in some of the neighbouring con-
gregations. But the church seemed to cal-
culate that this good work would go from
congregation to congregation, as a matter
of course. When, however, they saw that
the cloud of God's presence had come to
our very borders, on two sides of us, and
was stayed, they began to tremble, to feel
their dependence, and to cry mightily unto
Godj that he would not utterly refuse to
bless us. The blessing came, and sealed,
nota few, I trust, unto the day of redemp-
tion. Between seventy and eighty were
added to the church in that and the subse-
quent year, who dated their conversion from
this interesting period. I will only add, that
on enquiring of mj'^ brethren, I was uniform-
ly told that the members gathered during
this revival, had been peculiarly circum-
spect, and very few of them subjected to any
church censure.
" As to means employed, either in the
commencement or progress of these revivals,
I can say nothing — except that the Gospel
was preached as plainly and faithfully as I
was able, and that publicly, and from house
to house. Prayer meetings, anxious meet-
ings, or conferences, were found to be of
special service in promoting the good work."
Dr. Richards was succeeded by the Rev.
Samuel Fisher, D. D. now pastor of the
Presbyterian Church in Paterson, N. J. Dr.
Fisher was installed as pastor in 1809, by
the Presbytery of New York, and dismissed
by the mutual request of him and the people,
April 27, 1814.
Dr. Fisher laboured in this congregation
about four years. During the year in which
he was settled more than twenty persons
were received to the communion of the
church. In the year 1813, about forty were
received ; and about forty in the year i8r 4

While, here, by a personal visit to every
part of the congreg[ation, he ascertained that
there were five hundred and twenty families
in its bounds who professed to be Presby-
terians.
He was succeeded by the Rev. William A.
McDowell, D. D. a native of Somerset
County, in this State, and settled previous
to his installation here in Bound-Brook, N.
J., now of Charleston, S. C. Dr. McDowell
was installed, Dec. 13th, 1S14. and was dis-
missed. Oct. 21, 1823. He was here, there-
fore, about nine years. During the year
succeeding his settlement fifty persons were
added to the communion of the church.
About the same number was received the
following year. In 1822 the church was
blessed with an extensive revival of religion.
This revival commenced in the spring, and
continued through the summer, and prevail-
ed in all parts of the congregation. As the
fruits of it, during that and the following
year, not far from one hioidred and fifty were
added to the church. This was the mast ex-
tensive revival with which the congregation
^has ever been visited.
- The present pastor, a native of Rome, in
the State ot New York, was ordained and
installed, Feb. 8, 1825.*
The following Mistellaneons Items are deemed
of sufficze?it importance to be recorded.
The trustees of the congregation were
" according to charter," elected by the ses-
sion of the church, until 1788, when the}'
were, under the laws of the State of New-
Jersey, elected by the congregation.
January 23, 1791, it was resolved that the
Elders, together with the minister, shall be
a committee to examine all candidates for
church membership. From which, as well
as from the records of the session, it appears
probable that the examination of candidates
previously, were, as in Congregational
churches, conducted by the members of the
church.
At the same time it was resolved, that
those persons who have covenanted with
God, and [been] admitted members of the
church, and have come to the ordinance of

baptism, but not to the ordinance of the
Lord's Supper, were not required to renew
their covenant in oider to come to that or-
dinance, but that they should be required to
inform tlic minister that it is their desire to
come to the Lord's Supper, previous to
their coming, and that the minister pub-
lish the same to the church. From which
it appears that it had been the practice to
receive persons into covenant, and baptize
them, who did not participate in all the pri-
vileges of the church. Baptized children
also came forward and renewed their cove-
nant, or took their baptismal vows upon
themselves, who were not admitted to the
communion. During the ministry of Dr.
Johnes, no less than eighteen hundred and
fifty thus " renewed their covenant."*
June 2, 1795, it was resolved, that whereas
it had heretofore been the practice of this
church to admit all persons having made
profession of religion, and who were of good
moral character, to the privilege of baptism
for their children, and to a regular standing
in the church, although they continued to
neglect the ordinance of the Lord's Supper;
the Session, upon mature deliberation,
judging this, their former practice, to be
anti-scriptural, and productive of evil to the
church, resolved, that no person for the
time to come, who shall be iound to neglect
the command of Christ, to show forth his
death in the ordinance appointed for this
purpose, shall be considered a member in
good standing with this church, or entitled
to the privilege of baptism for his children ,
that is, so long as he shall continue in the
neglect of the above-mentioned duty. This
rule is still acted on in the church.
June 27, ) 808, it was resolved, that no per-
son professing to belong to any sister
church, shall hereafter be admitted to occa-
sional communion in this church, for more
than one year, without producing a certifi-
cate of regular standing in the church to
which such person professedly belongs.
This is still a rule of the Session of the
church. t

THE RECORD.
Accordin.e; to the constitution of the Pres-
byterian church, members dismissed are al
ways considered under the watch, and sub-
ject to the discipline of the church dismis-
singr them, until they are actually received
by the church to which they are dismissed.
See Confession of Faith under the head of
"Discipline," chap. x. sect. i.
In the same book, under the same head,
ch. xi. sect. 2, there is the following rule : —
No certificate of church membership shall
be considered as valid testimony of the good
standing of the bearer, if it be more than
one year old, except when there has been no
opportunity of presenting it to the church.
It is regarded as the duty of members re-
moving from our bounds, to apply for a dis-
mission and recommendation to some other
church. Incalculable disorder in the church,
and great evil to the person neglecting it,
have arisen from a forgetfulness or disregard
of this duty.
The resolution to build the present place
of worship was passed June 5, 1788 ; and it
was built and completed between the years
1789, and the 26th day of November, 1795.

FORM OF COVENANT,*
is used at the admission of members to
the communion of the church.
You have presented yourselves in this
public manner before God, to dedicate your-
selves to his service, and to be incorpo-
rated with his visible people. You are about
to profess supreme love to God ; sincere
contrition for all your sins; and faith un-
feigned in the Lord Jesus Christ. You are
about to enter into a solemn covenant to re-
ceive the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, as
they are offered in the Gospel, and to walk
in all the commandments and ordinances of
the Lord blameless.
We trust you have considered the nature
of these professions and engagements. The
transaction is solemn, and will be attended
with everlasting consequences. God and
Holy Angels are witnesses. The eyes of the
church and the world are, and will hereafter
be upon you. Your vows will be recorded
in Heaven, to be exhibited on your trial, at
the last great day. Yet be not overwhelmed
with these reflections. In the name of
Christ you may come boldly to the God of
grace ; and if you have sincere desires to be
his, may venture thus unalterabh' to commit
yourselves to Him, and trust in Him for
strength to perform your vows.

you do condemn, and in your purpose for-
ever renounce.
And now in the presence ol God, his holy
angels, and this assembly, you do solemnly
avouch the Lord Jehovah to be your God
and portion, and the object of your supreme
delight; the Lord Jesus Christ to be your
Saviour from sin and death— your Prophet
to instruct you, your Priest to atone and in-
tercede for you ; and your king to rule, and
protect, and enrich you : and the Holy Ghost
to be your Sanctifier, Comforter, and Guide.
To this God. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
you do now, without leserve, give yourself
away, in a covenant never to be revoked, to
be his willing servants for ever ; to observe
all his commandments and ordinances in the
sanctuary, in the family, and in the closet.
You do also bind yourselves by covenant to
this church, to watch over us in the Lord,
to seek our peace and edification, and to
submit to the government and discipline of
Christ, as here administered.
This you profess and engage. [Here again
the candidates bow assent!]
The candidates are then addressed by the
minister in the following, or in a similar
manner :
In consequence of these professions and
promises, we affectionately receive you as
members of this church, and in the name of
Christ declare you entitled to all its visible
privileges. We welcome you to this fellow-
ship with us in the blessings of the Gospel,
and on our part engage to watch over you,
and seek your edification as long as you
shall continue with us. Should you have
occasion to remove, it will be your duty to
seek, and ours to grant, a recommendation
to some other church ; for hereafter you
cannot withdraw from the watch, and com-
munion with the Saints without a breach of
covenant.
And now, beloved in the Lord, let it be
impressed on your minds that you have en-
tered into solemn relations, which you can
never renounce, and from which you can
never escape. Wherever you are. these
vows will remain. They will follow you to
the bar of God ; and in whatever world you
may be fixed, they will abide on you to all
eternity. You can never be again as you
have been. You have unalterably com-
mitted yourselves, and henceforth you must
be the servants of the Lord.
Hereafter the eye of the world will be upon
you ; and as you conduct yourselves, so will
religion be honoured or disgraced. If you
walk worthy of your profession, you will be
a credit and comfort to us ; but if otherwise,
you will be a grief of heart, and vexation ;
and if there is a wo pronounced on him who
offends one of Christ's little ones, wo, wo,
to the person who offends a whole church.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better
things of you, and things that accompany
salvation, though we thus speak.
May the Lord support and guide you
through this transitory life, and after this
warfare is accomplished, receive you and us,
to that blessed church, where our love shall
be for ever perfect, and our joy for ever full.
A frequent and devout perusal of the
above Form of Admission to the Church,
is recommended to all our Communicants ; es-
pecially to read it with meditation and prayer,
as a preparatory exercise before every Com-

In the present day bishops form only
about one-fourteenth of the numbers of the
House of Lords in England. In the eigh-
teenth century they composed about one-
eighth, but in the twelfth they formed six-
sevenths of the entire House. The reason
of this is to be found in the fact that in olden
times education was confined to the clergy.
A poem entitled " On the Creation and
Paradyce Lost," was written in English
metre before Milton was born. Its author
was Sir Richard Maitland. It was first pub-
lished by Ramsay in 1724. It is quite prob-
able, therefore, that John Milton never saw
this production. Certainly, no one who
reads Maitland's poem will charge Milton
with plagiarism.

OF
FORM USED AT THE BAPTISM
CHILDREN.
Children, one or both of whose parents
are members of the church, only, are by a
rule of the church to be baptized. It is re-
garded as the duty of parents to present
them for baptism at as early an age as may
be practicable.
The time for administering this ordinance
to children is on the Fridaj' previous to the
Communion, before the Sertnoti. They are
expected, therefore, to be present at the
commencement of the service.
The Book of Discipline of the Church
directs that a record be kept of the names
of all who are baptized. A scrip of paper,
therefore, containing the name of the child,
and \\vQ 7iames of both the parents, is indispen-
sably necessary. When the time of the bin h
of the child is also communicated, it will be
faithfully preserved on the records of the
church.
Children are regarded as members of the
church by right of their birth. The ordi-
nance of baptism is not, therefore, strictly an
initiating ordinance ; but a public recogni-
tion of their relation to the Church. It is
also the duty of parents, as well as an ex-
pression of pious feeling, to dedicate them
thus to the Lord.
As members of the church they should be
brought up in the nurture and admonition
of the Lord. They are subject to the watch
and counsel of those set over them in the
church. They are to be taught that it is
their privilege, as well as their duty, early
to devote themselves personally to his pur-
pose. See " Directory for Worship," ch. ix.
^ I.
When baptism is administered, the par-
ents are addressed in the following or
similar words :
Baptism was instituted by the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Great Head of the Church, to
be a seal of the Covenant of Grace. The
water in this ordinance implies guilt and
pollution, and the necessity of the gracious
operation of the Divine Spirit to cleanse us
from sin. It represents to us regeneration,
and sanctification by the Spirit of God.
It is the public sign ot admission to the
privileges of the Church of God. But you
are not to imagine that any external rite
will cleanse from sin. A deeper, far
deeper work, than can be accomplished by
the use of any external ordinances, is re-
quisite, to prepare the souls of these child-
ren for the Kingdom of Heaven.
The authority for administering this rite
to children is based on the conduct of Christ
and his Apostles, and on the privileges
granted to the ancient people of God. In
the time of our Saviour, the Jews regarded it
as an inestimable privilege, to devote their
offspring to the God who gave them, in the
rite, which had been appointed to their
fathers. That rite had been directed by the
authority of God. There is no intimation in
the New Testament of any purpose to de-
82
THE RECORD.
prive them of this privilege, in the new
economy. If there had been anj- such de"
sign of exclusion — any such material change
in the mode of administering the mercies of
God to his church — it is fair to suppose that
our Saviour would have been at pains to have
satisfied the Jews of the intention. It it
had been the design of the Founder of our
Religion to abridge the privileges of those
who should embrace his religion — of cut-
ting off by one fell sweep all children from
the communion of the faithful, and of over-
turning an economy that had been sanc-
tioned by God, and endeared by long ob-
servance, they had a right to expect that
there would have been some formal reason
given of a proceeding so remarkable, and of
an act that interfered so much with what
they deemed their dearest rights, and the
apprcjpriate expression of parental feeling.
So far from it, however, there is not the
most distant intimation in the New Testa-
ment, of any design of excluding children
from a public dedication to God, or of exclud-
ing ^■aiXtnts from devoting them to him. On
those who deny the right to such a dedica-
tion, it is incumbent to allege the proof of
any such purpose.
The contrary of any such design, is fairly
gathered from the New Testament. Our
Saviour encoui aged parents to bring their
children to him. He reproved those who
would have prevented such a purpose, and
who would have maintained that they were
to be excluded irom a public presentation to
him. He said, " of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven."
The Apostles acted as the Saviour did.
They baptized households — that is, families
— without any intimation that they were
all adults — a thing that in itself is so impro-
bable, that if it had been the case, we might
have expected a formal statement of the
fact. No allusion is made, however, to any
such unusual state of things — nothing to
lead us to believe that these families differ-
ed from others — or in others words, no in-
timation that there were no children in
them. When men speakof/^<7z^j^^//£'/^/y, with-
out any qualifying or li?ni/i}ii( expressions,
we are to suppose that they do not differ
essentially from other households. Such
we may fairly suppose the households men-
tioned in the New Testament to have been I
—that is, until the contrary is shown, we
have a right to suppose that children and
servants were baptized.
It is an indubitable fact, moreover, that
very early in the Christian church the prac-
tice was universal. The first mention of
the subject implied that it was common.*
Such an early universal practice could have
had no other origin than the practice of the
Apostles.
You have a right, therefore, to offer th:;se
children to God in this ordinance. It is a
proper expression of pious parental feeling.
It is suitable to invoke the blessing of j'our
and their Great Father on them, in the be-
ginning of their years, and to commit them
thus early to his guidance. Their souls are
immortal. They have commenced an exis-
tence which can never end. None but God,
can befriend them in the temptations and
trials before them ; and it is right, therefore,
to seek for them the guidance of his hand.
They are committed to your care. On
yoicr conduct will depend much of their use-
fulness and respectability on ^earth. But
they are doomed to an eternity of being ;
and on you also will, in a most tremendously
responsible degree, depend their destiny
beyond the grave. Be prepared, then, to
resign their spirits into the hands of God
who gave them, when he shall call for
them.
If it shall please God to spare your lives,
and the lives of your children, until they
come to years capable of receiving instruc-
tion, it will be your duty to teach them, or
to cause them to be taught, to read God's
Holy Word ; to instruct them in the prin-
ciples of the true religion — the history of
man — the creation and fall — the law of God
— the economy of the ancient society of be-

CHURCH NOTICES.
1. The seasons of Sacramental Com-
MUJsriON occur in this church only in the
months of March, June, September, and
December, on the first Sabbath in each
month.
2. A lecture, preparatory to the solemnity,
is attended in the church, on the Friday \)xe.-
vlous to the Communion, in the afternoon,
at half past two o'clock in December and
March, and at half past three in June and
September. The baptism of the children
and servants of believers is administered in
the commencement of the services.
3. A church meeting — that is, of the
comtjtunicants aloJte, is held, by a resolution of
the Session, in the months of January,
April, July, and October, on Thursday af-
ternoon, in the Session House, at such
times in the month as the pastor may ap-
point. The object of this meeting is mutual
prayer, exhortation, and praise. It is de-
signed to promote Christian acquaintance ;
to make firm the bands" of Christian fellow-
ship; and to present the united wants of
the church, as such, before the Throne of
Grace. At this meeting, which, liom Its
nature, is one of special interest, and which
has in other churches been followed with a
special blessing, it is peculiarly desirable
that every member should be present.
4. The session of the church meet re-
gularly on the first Tuesday of every month,
at the house of the pastor, for united pray-
er, and consultation on the state of religion
in their own hearts, and in the church.
Their other meetings are held in the Ses-
sion House, agreeably to notice given pre-
viously from the pulpit. Their ordinary
time of meeting is on Thursday afternoon,
in the week but one next preceding each
communion. Before the Session, at a regu-
lar meeting, must application be made z«
person for union to the church. The appli-
cant is examined on his knowledge of re-
ligion, and personal piety, and his wishes in
coming to the communion, and on his pur-
poses of life; and if approved, is publicly
propounded for admission to the commun-
ion of the church ; and, if there are no
valid objections offered, on the day of the
next communion, publicly admitted as a
member of Ihe church in full and equal fel-
lowship. The meetings of the session are
properly public ; and any person has the
right of access to accompany any applicant,
propose any business, enter any complaint,
or claim any redress which may properly
relate to the jurisdiction of the session.
5. It is proper that individuals should
seek and cultivate acquaintance with the
elders. They aie appointed to guard the
interests of the church, and to promote the
welfare of religion. Persons thoughtful,
or anxious about their condition, will al-
ways be welcome to the attentions and
counsel of any of the elders, or of the pas-
tor.
6. It is proper for persons who are sick,
to send for any of the elders or the pastor
to visit them at their own houses. (James
v. 14) — Is any sick among you? let him
CALL for the Elders of the church. It is at
no time considered as any interruption of
the appropiate business of the pastor to be
invited to visit the sick in any part of the
congregation. On the contrary, such in-
vitations will be thankfully received, and
promptly attended to. It is regarded as a
privilege to be admitted as a friend and
comforter, to the room of the sick, and the
bed-side of i he dying.
7. It is wished that funerals should be

attended, when convenient, in the aficmoofi.
The duties of a large charge require that
the pastor should have a portion of his
time in which he may be free from inter-
ruption. All that is wished or desired is,
that he may not be liable to such interruption
in the forenoon. Where distance of relations
or peculiar circumstances in the family,
make an earlier hour desirable, however,
the funeral will be promptly attended.
Exercises at funerals, and at all other ser-
vices, commence precisely at the hour of ap-
pointment.
8. A collection for the aid of the poor
members of the church is taken up at each
communion.
9. The deacons of the church have the
care and service of the table of communion ;
and the management of the poor fund, and
its distribution. They are responsible for
a just appropriation of this fund; and are
required to make report at the end of each
year, to the church, of the distribution that
has been made of it, and of the wants of the
poor members of the church. It is proper
for any poor members of the church to ap-
ply to them for aid.
This irnportant and deeply beneficial
charity deserves the particular attention of
the members of the church. We have not
many members of the church in indigent
circumstances, but "the poor" are "with" us
— and they are worthy of aid. There is no
danger that this charity will be abused. It
is committed to the hands of respectable
men , and it is a proper expression of our
regard for our brethren, as well as to our
Saviour, that we should give of our abun-
dance to those who are poor and needy.
10. A weekly lecture is kept up regularly
in the Session House on Thursday even-
ings ; and preaching once a fortnight is ex-
pected in some other part of the congre-
gation.
11. The monthly concert for prayer is at-
tended on the evening of the first Monday
in the month, in the Session House, and in
other parts of the congregation. Addresses
are made, missionary intelligence communi-
cated, and a collection taken up in aid of
Domestic Missions.
12. A Bible Class is attended in the Ses-
sion House once in a fortnight, on Tuesday
evenings; and every Sabbath afternoon in
one of four neighbourhoods in some other
part of the congregation. About five chap-
ters constitute a lesson. Sacred geography,
chronology, and bibHcal history are taught,
and a doctrinal and practical exposition of
the lesson given. The classes are compo-
sed of persons of both sexes, and spectators
are admitted. Though designed principally
for the young, no age is excluded.
13. It is the duty of the members of the
church to watch over each other, to aid
each other in the Christian life, and to give
and receive faithful counsel " in the spirit
of meekness." They should tterer unneces-
sarily publish delinquencies and faults ; but
when a brother goes astray, and private ad-
monition and entreaties are found unavail-
ing— which should always be the first mea-
sures— it is their duty to report the matter
to the Pastor or Session. (See Matth. xviii.
15, 16, 17.) To this neglected, but incum-
bent duty, their solemn church compact,
their covenant engagements, and the com-
mand of their common Lord, solemnly bind
them. No church can flourish, nor will re-
ligion live, where its members do not "speak
the truth in love" — and " provoke one an-
other to love and good works' — and main-
tain, a sacred regard for the purity of the
Christian character — and " strive to adorn
the doctrine of God their Saviour in all
things."
14. A Sunday School for the benefit of
both sexes, is kept in the church, on the
afternoon of the Sabbath; and schools are
also established in other parts of the con-
gregation.
15. The following is a List of the BENE-
VOLENT SOCIETIES existing in the con-

PRESBYTERIANISM.
[The following sketch was prepared, by request, for another
publication. In its reproduction here several paragraphs
have been added, which are of more interest to Presbyterians
than to the readers for whom th« sketch was prejiared.]
The Presbyterian Church rests its right
to be on the need of emphasizing certain
principles which it finds in the Bible, and
particularly in the New Testament. These
principles respect three classes of subjects,
doctrine, government and Church-member-
ship. In the space at hand only the barest
outline of these subjects is possible, but this
may be given largely in the words of the
late Dr. Charles Hodge.
DOCTRINE.
The latest embodiment of doctrines is
contained in the Confession of Faith, to-
gethsr^with the Larger and the Shorter
Catechisms, issued by the Westminster As-
[* In addition to what has been reprinted in The Recokd,
Mr. Barnes's Manual contains, "List of Ministers," " List
of Ruling Elders," " List of Deacons," and "List of Trustees,"
from the earliest records down t« Mr. Barnes's pastorate, to-
gether with "List of Present Communicants," for the year
1828, and fifteen /' Questions for Self-Examination," taken
from the Laight Street Presbyterian Church, New York.
These will not now be reprinted.]
sembly in 1646 and 1647. All Candidates
for the diaconate, the eldership and the
ministry are required sincerely to receive
and adopt this Confession, as containing
the system of doctrine taught in the Holy
Scriptures. The definition of this subscrip-
tion is the key to the creed of the Presby-
terian Church, Dr. Hodge makes the fol-
lowing points. (I.) The Confession is not
adopted for " substance of doctrine"; be-
cause this is obviously not the meaning of
the phrase, it is contrary to the decisions of
the Church, and, in short, " substance of
doctrine" has no definite assignable mean-
ing. (2.) Nor does the candidate profess to
adopt every proposition contained in the
Confession as a part of his own faith ; be-
cause this, too, is contrary to the plain
meaning of the phrase, to the decisions of
the Church, and it is impracticable. But
(3.) subscription is simply and only to the
system of doctrine which the Confession
contains. There can be no dispute as to
what this system is. It includes three dis-
tinct classes of doctrines. First, those
common to all Christians, which are sum-
med up in the ancient creeds, the Apostles',
the Nicene, and the Athanasian. Secondly,
those common to all Protestants, and by
which they are distinguished from Ro-
manists. Thirdly, those peculiar to the
Reformed Churches, by which they are dis-
tinguished from the Lutherans, Arminians
and other sects of later origin. As opposed
to the Lutherans, the system ol the Confes-
sion affirms a real, but a spiritual rather
than a physical, presence of Christ in the
Sacraments. As opposed to Arminians and
others, it affirms the five points of Augus-
tinianism, which were assented to " at the
Synod of Dort by all the Reformed,
Churches, namely, those of Switzerland,
Germany, France, England and Scotland, as
well as Holland." These five points are (i.)
The imputation of the first sin in penal con-
sequences to all the human race ; (2.) The
innate sinfulness of human character, (so
that there can be no self-conversion,) and
consequently the efficacious grace of the
Spirit ; (3.) The special reference of Christ's
work to those who had been promised him
by the Father, by which their salvation is
rendered certain ; (4.) Gratuitous, personal
election to eternal life ; ancj (5.) The per-r

THE RECORD.
severance of the saints. " It is a matter of
history," says Dr. Hodge, " that these
doctrines constitute the distinguishing doc-
trines of the Reformed Churches. And,
therefore, an}'^ man who receives these
several classes of doctrine, (viz.: those com-
mon to all Christians, those common to all
Protestants, and those peculiar to the Re-
formed Churches,) holds in its int(;grity the
system of doctrine contained in the West-
minster Confession. This is all he professes
to do when he adopts that Confession
in the form prescribed by our Constitution."
The Confession also contains deliverances
on other topics, but assent to these de-
liverances is nut required. (.See Dr. Hodge's
Church Polity, pp. 317 to 342.)
GOVERNMENT.
The principles of government were also
enunciated by the Westminster Assembly,
though their statement has been expanded
and amended by different bodies of Presby-
terians at various times down to very recent
dates. Says Dr. Hodge : " There are fixed
laws assigned by God according to which
all healthful and normal action of the body
is regulated. So it is with regard to the
Church. There are fixed laws in the Bible,
according to which all healthful develop-
ment and action of the external Church are
determined. But, as within the limits of
the laws which control the development of
the hijman body, there is endless diversity
among different races, adapting them to
different climes and modes of living, so also
in the Church. It is not tied down to one
particular mode of organization and action,
at all times and under all circumstances,
* * * The leading principles laid down
in Scripture, regarding the organiz.ition and
action (jf the Church, are the parity of the
clergy, the right of the people and the
unity of the Church."
As to the parity of the clergy. In the
New Testament, connected with the minis-
try of the word and the oversight of the
Church, three classes of officers are men-
tioned ; apostles, prophets and presbyters
or bishops. By the scholarship of all
Churches it is now conceded that, in the
New Testament, the titles of presbyter and
bishop designate but one office, or order ol
the clergy. The old claim, that the New
Testament bishops were a distinct order from
the presbyters, has been abandoned on ac-
count of the overwhelming array of facts
against such a claim. And now-a-days the
Churches which assert the divine right of
bishops make them the successors, not of the
New Testament bishops, but of the apostles.
We hold, on the contrary, that the apostles
and prophets were temporary offices and
have h.id no true successors, for the follow-
ing reasons : (i) There is no command in
the New Testament to continue them ; (2)
There is no specification of the qualifications
to be required in those who seek these of-
fices ; (3) There is no record in the New
Testament, or in the first century after-
wards, of any one recognized as a true suc-
cessor of an apostle ; (4) An apostle, as Paul
defined his right to the title, must have seen
Jesus so as to be a witness from personal
knowledge, must be able to work miracles,
must be inspired ; and no one, since the
New Testament times, has ever possessed
these three essentials of an apostle.
On the other hand the gifts of teaching
and ruling, which constituted a New Testa-
ment presbyter or bishop, are continued ;
the command to ordain them, the authority
of presbyterial as opposed to apostolic or-
dination, their qualifications, and the ac-
count of their appointment, are minutely re-
corded in the Now Testament : and they
continue in unbroken succession wherever
the Church is found. Every pastor in the
Presbyterian Church is a bishop, in the
New Testament meaning of the title, as con-
ceded by the ablest scholars of the Church
of England, as well as by others. These
presbyters, or bishops, says Dr. Hodge,
" are the highest permanent officers of the
Church fur which we have any divine war-
ranjt. If the Church, for special reasons,
sees fit to appoint any higher order, such as
the bishops of the Lutheran Church and
the superintendents, clothed with the pow-
ers of a presbytery, in the early Church of
Scotland, this is merely a human arrange-
ment. The parity of the clergy is a matter
of divine right ; they all hold the same office,
and have the same rights, so far as the}'' de-
pend on divine appointment."
" As to the right of the people to take part
in the government of the Church, this also
is a divine right. This follows because
the Spirit of God, who is the source of all
THE RECORD.
87
power, dwells in the people, and not exclu-
sively in the clergy; because we are coni-
manded to submit ourselves to our breth-
ren in the Lord ; because the people are
commanded to exercise this power, and are
upbraided when unfaithful or negligent in
the discharge of this duty ; and because, in
the New Testament, we find the brethren
in the actual recognized exercise of the au-
thority in question, which was never dis-
puted in the Church until the beginning of
the dark ages. This right of the people must,
of necessity, be exercised through repre-
sentatives. Under the Old Testament, in
the assembly or congregation of the peo-
ple, this principle of representation was by
divine appointment universally recognized.
By like authority it was introduced into the
Christian Church as a fundamental princi-
ple of its organization. This is the broad,
scripturaly'/^rc?/^//z//;/fl foundation of the office
oi Ruling Elder." Ruling elders are laymen,
and, as representatives of the people, com-
pose the Session, which exercises the spirit-
ual government of a particular congregation,
and of which the minister is, t\v officio, the
moderator or president. The other courts of
the Church are composed of equal numbers
of ministers and elders, and in these the el-
ders have the same rights and powers pos-
sesed by ministers. Deacons, like those ap-
pointed for the Church in Jerusalem, are also
laymen ; and, for the most part, their duties
are simply the care of the poor in the local
congregation, though in some cases they
also hold the trusteeship of the church
property.
"The unity of the Church is not merely a
union of faith and communion ; not merely
a fellowship in the Spirit, but also a union
of subjection, so that one part is subject
to a larger, and a larger to the whole.* This
also \sjure divino, because the whole Church
is made one by the indwelling of the Spirit ;
because we are commanded to be subject to
our brethren, not on the ground of proxi-
mity in space, nor of a mutual covenant
or agreement, but by the fact of Christian
brotherhood ; because in the apostolic, as
in the Old Testament Church, the whole
body of the professors of the true religion
were thus united as one body ; because b)'^
*In contrast with all Independents, like Congregationalists
and Baptists, who deny a union oi subjection . '
the instinct of Christian feeling the Church
in all ages, has striv^en after this union of
subjection, and recognized its violation as
inconsistent with the law of its constitution.
This, again, by necessity and divine appoint-
ment, is a representative union, and hence
the provincial, national and oecumenical
councils which mark the whole history of
the Church." These councils among us
are known by the names of The Presbytery,
embracing the Churches of a small district
and meeting frequently ; The S3'nod, includ-
ing the Churches of a State, meeting annual-
ly ; The General Assembly, in which all the
Churches of the nation are represented,
also meeting once a year ; and The General
Council, where Presbyterians of various
names and all lands meet by delegates
every three or four years. (See Dr. Hodge's
Church Polity, pages 118 to 156, and page
242.)
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP.
While candidates for office in the Presby-
terian Church are required to assent to the
system of the Westminister Confession, no
such assent is required of candidates for
Church-membership. The rule of the Church
is briefly as follows :
Those baptized in infancy are to receive
Christian instruction, and when they come
to years of discretion, if they be free from
scandal, appear sober and steady, and to
have sufficient knowledge to discern the
Lord's body, they are to be informed that
it is their duty and privilege to come to the
Lord's Supper, and be examined as to their
knowledge and piety by the Session.
" When unbaptised persons apply for ad-
mission to the Church, they shall, in ordi-
nary cases, after giving satisfaction with re-
spect to their knowledge and piety, make a
public profession of their failh in the pre-
sence of the congregation ; and thereupon
be baptized," (Chap. ix. Directory for Wor-
ship.) No prescribed formula is given, as-
sent to which is to be accounted as evidence
of repentance and faith. The qualific.itions
for membership, which the Session may re-
quire in any candidate, are limited by the
words " knowledge and piety," "free from
scandal," "sober and steady,' "sufficient
knowledge to discern the Lord's body."
Says Dr. Hodge, " Nothing can be plainer
than that our church requires nothing more
THE RECORD.
than credible evidence of Christian charac-
ter as the condition of Christian commu-
nion. Of that evidence the Church officers
are to judge. Not one word is said of the
adoption of the Confession of Faith, or of
anything but the evidences of piety. Any
man therefore, who gives evidence of being
a Christian, we are bound by the rules of
our Church to admit to our communion.
And so far from there being the sHghtest
intimation that the adoption of the whole
system of our doctrine contnined in our
standards is necessar}' to a man's being a
Christian, there is the strongest evidence
to the contrary. This evidence is found in
the omission of any mention (jf the stand-
ards in those passages which speai< of the
communion of saints ; in the mention of
other terms than those of subscription to a
formula of doctrine, and in the admission
that true Churches may be impure both as
to doctrine and practice, that is, may reject
what we hold to be the truth without for-
feiting their Christian character." (See Dr.
Hodge's Church Polity, page 218 to 241.)
It is to be observed, that these statements
refer to membership, and not merely to oc-
casional communion. For example, if a
member of a Baptist or Methodist, or Ro-
man or Greek, or any other Christian
Church, should apply to be received as a
member in the Presbyterian Church, our
rules would not require him to be treated as
if he were not a Chuich member and so i
oblige him to submit to be again baptized, j
or again confirmed ; but, on the ground of
his Christian character, would recognize
his previous Church membership, and sim- j
ply welcome him to all the privileges of I
that membership in the Presbyterian house-
hold of Christian faith. Conversely, our
rules provide for the dismissal, with Chris-
tian recommendations, of any of our mem-
bers to any other household of the faith.
It should also be said that the Presbyter-
ian Church recognizes the ordination, as
well as the baptism and the confirmation of
other Christian bodies ; and accords these
bodies, equal standing with itself as true
Churches of the Lord Jesus Christ. The
claim might perhaps be justly made, espec-
ially in view of this recognition and of its
doctrine of membership, that the Presby-
terian Church is the broadest and most
Catholic of all e.xisting Christian bodies.
FIRST 'REFORMED CHURCH OF PATER.
SON.
This church was originally called the
" First Reformed Dutch Church of Totawa."
Its history is interesting. It was organized
some time about 1750; perhaps, between that
year and 1756. Its first minister, believed to
be the Rev. David Marinus, had charge also
ofthe churches at Acquackanonk and Pomp-
ton. His parish, if this be true, was much
larger than any pastor of modern times
would care to attempt to serve. In 1762
Rev. Cornelius Blanco became the next
pastor, and he. too, ministered to the three
churches. Rev. Dr. Meyer, who succeeded
Mr. Blanco, preached until his death in 1791.
In 1816 the Rev. Wilhelimas Eltinge gave
half his time and services to the Totawa
church, and this he continued to do until
1833, after which he ministered to the church
at Paramas. In 1834 Rev. George C. Van-
dervoort became pastor and remained until
1837, when he was succeeded b}'^ the Rev.
Dr. Wiggins, who continued pastor until
1856. In 1857 the Rev. Philip Peltz, D. D.
became the pastor and he was succeeded, in
i860 by Rev. Alexander McKelway, who re-
signed in 1865. In 1865 the Rev. John
Steele was called to be the pastor.
The history of the Reformed Dutch
Church, or as the members of that denomi-
nation prefer now to call themselves, the
Reformed Church, in New Jersey is a most
interesting subject and should receive the
attention of some historian who can do jus-
tice to the theme. That history is largely
interwoven into the history of the State, es-
pecially of this part of the commonwealth.
The first settlers in Bergen County were all
of that sect of Christians, and they brought
with them from Holland, that sturdy inde-
pendence, inherited from their ancestors,
who fought for their political and religious
liberty with Philip II. and his blood thirsty
lieutenants, the Duke of Alva and'Alexan-
der Farnese, which made them the strongest
and most zealous supporters of the cause of
American independence in the war of the
Revolution.

LEWIS CONDICT, M. D.
,Dr. Condict, for many years, was deeply
interested in the First Presbyterian church.
He was, at one time, a physician of large
practice in Morristown and was considered
very skillful in his profession. His family
was collaterally connected with Silas Con-
dict, of Revolutionary lame, of whom a
sketch has already appeared in the Record
Dr. Condict married, for his first wife, a
daughter of the Rev. Nathan Woodhullf D.
D., who preached for many years in Long
Island, and whose memory is cherished in
the churches, as a great preacher and one of
the saintly men of the land.
Dr. Condict, for fifty years and more,
lived in the house on South street, now
occupied by the Rev. Twining and own
ed by Mrs. Brandagee of Utica, N. Y., the
widow of the Rev. Dr. John Brandagee and
Dr. Condict's youngest daughter.
Dr. Condict died at a very advanced age,
more than eighty, and then his death was
accelerated by a fall from the back stoop of
his house; by which accident his hip bone
was broken. This confined him to his
room for a year and more before his death.
He look a deep interest not only in pub-
lic affairs, but also in all matters appertain-
ing to the first church. For many years he
occupied a place in the choir and, up to the
time of the accident, which resulted in his
death, he was constant in his attendance
upon the services of the sanctuary.
When nearly eighty years of age he under-
took ajourney into Kentucky, where he had
relatives. Early in life he entered into pub-
lic office, for which his talents and tastes
peculiarly fitted him. In 1805, he was elect-
ed to the State Legislature and was a mem-
ber of that body for five successiv^e years;
during two of those years he occupied the
Speaker's chair. Subsequently and for sev-
eral sessions he repiesented this State in
the Lower House of Congress. Those were
times when the faithful lepresentative was
rewarded b}^ many returns to office, and Dr
Condict must have been considered worthj'
of the confidence of his constituents, for he
was renominated several times without op-
position from his own party, which was then
dominant in the State, and was re-elected
with large majorities. He was an original
temperance man, for, while in Congress, on
several occasions, he presented a bill, the
object of which was to prevent the manu-
facture and sale of distilled spirits.
He was, too, a man of more than ordinary
ability. He delivered a speech at Morris-
town, in the old church, upon the Fourth of
July 1828, which met with such decided ap-
probation from his fellow citizens that a copy
of it was requested for publication, and it
was afterwards printed and no doubt has
been preserved by some citizens who knew
the author.
Dr. Condict was remarkable for his gen-
iality of temperament, his great conversa-
tional powers, his kindly wit and gentle
humor. His wit sparkled and enlivened,
but never wounded ; he delighted in humor,
but he never descended ; his jests were ini-

initable, but they never were uttered at the
expense of another. His anecdotal treasury
was filled to overflowing, and was always
ready to respond to any draft upon it, but it
was always bright and pointed, always new
and never wearied nor disgusted.
He had several children, two of whom sur-
vive, Dr. Nathan W. Condict, named for
his maternal grand-father and Mrs. Martina
Brandagee, now living at Utica, N. Y. One
of his daughters married the Rev. George
Bush, the eminent scholar ; another married
a Mr. Hall, a successful lawyer in Washing-
ton, D. C. ; another became the wife of Mr.
James Cook, and his youngest is now the
widow of the Rev. John Brandagee, formerly
Rector of an Episcopal Church in Utica.
Three of his sons were physicians, Silas L.,
Nathan W., and Lewis, Jr., a young man of
great promise, who died in early manhood.
Dr. Condict was an ardent patriot and
served his country, not from love of office,
but from patriotic sentiments. It was in
his time no easy task to be in public life, and
especially a member of Congress. Wash-
ington was then much farther removed from
Morristown than is St. Louis at the present.
The position of Congressman then carried
with it banishment from home and family
lor an indefinite time. Dr. Condict remained
long in office and devoted to the performance
of his duties as a public servant, the best
energies of his nature as well as the best
years of his life. His f^tmily was large, and
while he was in office, needed a father's rule.
But his excellent wife was equal to the task,
and her sons and daughters, a goodly number
they were, hardly felt the removal of the
father's protection, for in the mother they
found combined the love and tenderness of
the mother, and the strict and guiding rule
of the father. She was a slender, delicate
woman, but one of those rare souls whose
presence in any household was a blessing.
Her sympathies were alert for all, her bene-
factions were not for home and family alone,
but were for the poor and needy, and, though
illy able from feeble health to take a very ac-
tive part, she never failed at the call of
duty, from whatever place it might come.
The Church benefitted by her gentle ways,
the poor were the recipients of her benefac-
tions, and in all public matters where
woman's aid was needed, either by the way of
counsel or action, she never failed to respond.
She lived to see her children grow up
around herand then died a Christian's death,
loved by all. His second wife was- a Miss
Elmendorf, of Somerset County, a woman
of marked ability. Mrs. Brandagee was her
only child.
In person Dr. Condict was tall and com-
manding. His manners were simple and
unpretending, his judgment excellent, his
intellect cultivated ; he was decided in his
views in politics and on all other subjects
which he was called upon to discuss, but he
never obtruded his opinions offensively
upon others. In times when party politics
raged high and his fellow citizens sometimes
indulged in acrimonious debates, too often
verging upon anger and violence, he calmed
passion by a pleasant word, a kindly remark
or a jest which provoked laughter and
cleared away the frown and quelled the
threatened tumult. His oration, to which
reference has been made, was not delivered
at a union celebration, but was pronounced
at the request of a political party, who that
year celebrated the national anniversary
separate from their political opponents. It
was a time of the utmost rancor, when party
lines were drawn to their utmost tension.
Buf in his oration there is manifested no bit-
terness, no rancor ; nothing was uttered
by him which could possibly injure the
feelings of the most wilful of political antag-
onists. It was calm, cool, but decided in its
statement of his opinions on public affairs,
and a dispassionate discussion of political
matters to which any one, no matter what
might have been his party sentiments, could
have listened and been pleased. Dr. Condict
was then a member of Congress, and his
constituents had a right to ask from him a
statement of his views upon the politics of
the day and it may well be supposed that un-
der the circumstances which surrounded him
and his audience, he might have given voice
to utterances which would have inflamed his
hearers and stirred up to still worse demon-
stration, the demon of party strife. But he
refrained from any such desecration of the
day, and while not hesitating to speak firmly
and boldly, yet through the whole speech
ran that kindly feeling so dominant in his
character and which so pervaded his whole
life.

Dear Sir : — I rec'd your's of the i8th Sept.

that time did not imagine I should have de-
layed answering it so long, but unavoidable
circumstances have prevented till now.
It affords me infinite satisfaction to hear
of your prosperity in that Country which
though 3-oung and uncultivated is rendered
by nature one ot the finest in the world in
points of fertility, and climate. With pro-
priety it may be termed the " Land of
Canaan," if not the "garden of Eden" or an-
cient paradise of which we read. Had I set-
tled my affairs in Jersey before I set out on
my journey, I am convinced, I should not
have returned, but have remained there to
this day. The distance is so great and my
friends here were so opposed to my settling
there, that I was induced to pitch my tent
in Jersey, where perhaps I shall spend my
days. I have compleated my house, and find
my prospects flattering. I am yet free from
matrimonial shackles, and at present do not
see much prospect of being encumbered
with them. The married folks tell me I
want nothing but a wife to compleat mv
happiness, and I in return, remind them of
the fox that lost his tail in a trap, and wish-
ed it to become fashionable to go without
tails. Parson Richards and his family liv>;

ALBERT BARNES.
The following interesting reminiscences
of the Rev. Albert Barnes are from the pen
of the venerable Rev. William Sterling, now
living at VVilliamsport, Pa. Mr. Sterling
was for ten years a co-presbyter with Mr.
Barnes, and for thirty years a member of the
same Synod.
The readers of the Record will feel much
indebted to Mr. Sterling for his most inter-
esting article. It presents Mr. Barnes in
some lights, which would not, probably, ap-
pear in any ordinary biography.
The occasion of the trial to which Mr.
Sterling refers, which resulted in the depo-
sition of Mr. Barnes, was a sermon preached
by him, entitled, " T/ie Way of Salvation."
The sermon gave great offence to the branch
of the Presbyterian Church, then called the
Old School, of which the Rev. Dr. Junkin
was a prominent supporter. At that time
party spirit raged very high between the
two branches of the Church. Mr. Barnes
was considered as one of the leaders, if not
the leader of the new school. Like Paul,
before his conversion, his opponents deemed
they were doing God service in bringing
him to trial as a heretic.
The action was at first successtui ; Mr.
referred to, or a paper containing a history
of the trial, will confer a very great obliga-
tion by loaning them to the Editor of the
Record. They will be carefully preserved
and returned at once.
Barnes was deposed from the ministry, but

REMINISCENCES OF REV. ALBERT
BARNES.
Rev. William Durant.
Dear Bro.: — I am sorry to say that I can
call to mind few reminiscences of Rev. Al-
bert Barnes that would be of general inter-
est. As a student, and a preacher, and a
commentator on the Scriptures, his reputa-
tion is world-wide. But, in private life, he
was a grave man, of few words, and rarely
spoke of himself or his experiences.
The first time I ever saw Mr. Barnes was
on a Sabbath evening in the fall of 1835. I
had just graduated at Princeton Seminary,
and had accepted a call from the Church of
Reading. On my way to my field of future
labor, I stopped a few days in Philadelphia
that I might make the acquaintance of some
of the members of the Third Presbytery
with which my church was connected ; and
also that I might consult with them in re-
gard to my ordination and installation atari
early day as pastor of that church.
My stay in the city extended over the
Sabbath. Now it so happened that on that
very week the Synod of Philadelphia at its
meeting in York had suspended Mr. Barnes
" from all the functions of the Gospel min-
istry." The brethren of the 3d Presbytery
had just returned from the meeting of
Synod deeply troubled and sore at heart.
Indeed, all the city was moved ; and little
else was thought about or talked about, but
the proceedings of Synod in the case of
Mr. Barnes. I learned that it had been ar-
ranged that Rev. Ezra Stiles Ely, D.D., was
to officiate in the vacant pulpit on Sabbath
evening, and make a full statement to the
congregation of the action of Synod in the
case of their deposed pastor. Of course I
went to the church, though it was a very in-
clement night. The house was crowded to
its utmost capacity. I got, with some diffi-
was over-ruled by the General Assembly,
and Mr. Barnes restored, never again to be
molested.
Any person having a copy of the sermon
friend, who had accompanied me to the
church, drew my attention to a gentleman
sitting in the pew with his family directly
opposite me, and whispered, " That is Mr,
THE RECORD.
93
Barnes." He was in a bent position, with
his chin resting on the top of his umbrella.
I watched him closely during the long and
painful recital of the proceedings of Synod
up to the last crowning act of the drama —
his deposition from the gospel ministry.
During the whole time, Mr. Barnes never
changed his position, nor even raised his
head. The whole audience were in an in-
describable state of excitement, and many
of them in tears. On almost every coun-
tenance around me were written indignation
and sorrow and distress, too deep for utter-
ance. The feeling w.is general that a great
and most grievous wrong had been done to
an able minister of the gospel and a right-
eous man ; in whom they all trusted and
whom they admired and loved as their faith-
ful friend and pastor. But what I remarked
and wondered at was the perfect control of
Mr. Barnes over his own deep emotions.
When the audience was dismissed, I got a
glance at his face as he rose and prepared to
retire. It was calm and peaceful and heaven-
ly. He seemed to me to have been sustained
that evening by the immediate presence of
his God — to have been borne up by the as-
surance that the Master, whom he loved and
served, would take care of him, and over-
rule the trial, through which his servant
was passing, to his own great glory. That
evening 1 learned to love Albert Barnes.
The impression then made upon my mind
and heart, by his demeanor and the holy
light that I saw shining in his countenance,
I never lost.
Rev. Gideon N. Judd, D.D., Correspond-
ing Secretary of the American Home Mis-
sionary Society, afterwards -told me that he
boarded in the family of Mr. Barnes at the
time of his trial, and through the entire
winter of his suspension from the ministry ;
and that he never heard him utter one un-
kind word against any of those men who
had caused him so much pain and humilia-
tion ; that he rarely, if ever, alluded to the
actjon of Synod, by which he was set aside
from his pastoral work. Mr. Judd added
that when the General Assembly had re-
versed the action of Synod, and restored
him to his standing in the ministry. Mr.
Barnes quietly resumed his duties, making
no reference to what he had suffered from
the Synod ; and that the only time he ever
heard him refer to the matter in public was
near the close of a doctrinal sermon, which
he preached some considerable time after-
wards, when he simply said, •• These are
niv views of these doctrines; — it was for
holding these views that I was deposed
from the ministry by the Sj^nod ot Phila-
delphia. ' That was all.
In the Autumn of 1S39, Presbytery held
its stated meeting at Allentown. After the
adjournment, we returned in extra stages
to Philadelphia.
I was so fortunate as to get a seat in the
same coach with Mr. Barnes. In the course
ot the day. Rev. Anson Rood said, " Bro.
Barnes, I have a question I would like to
ask you. In closing your defence before
the General Assembly at Pittsburgh, you
said that nothing had taken place during
the long trial in Presbytery, and again in
Synod, nor yet in that General Assembly
that had at all lessened your respect for Dr.
Junkin, or weakened your confidence in
his piety. Now what I want to know is
this. Is your opinion of Dr. Junkin stil|
unchanged, or have you had any reason to
modify it ?"
Mr. Barnes sat silent for a few moments,
during which he seemed to be weighing
carefully the answer he would put into
words. At length he said " I owe a great
deal to Dr. Junkin. I think he has added
ten years to m}' lite. I was laboring too
hard, and must in a short time have broken
down entirely. But that winter's rest from
my pulpit duties has proved most beneficial
so that I have felt like another man ever
since." That was his answer. Of course it
left us to our own conjectures as to whether
his views of Dr. Junkin's character had
not undergone some modification ; but if
they had, he did not say so. He would suf-
fer no word to pass his lips, that could by
any igenuity be construed as implying a
doubt in his mind in regard to the perfect
honor, and integrity, and purity of motives
of the man who had been so long his most
determined, and persevering, and ruthless
prosecutor. If any thing had come to the
knowledge of Mr.^Barnes since the trial, to
cast a painful doubt over his mind as to the
holy principles and ends of his opponent,
he would hide the fact from all the world :
he would not reyeal even in confidence, and
94
THE RECORD.
by a single hint to his warmest friends and
brethren, the existence of that doubt, or the
grounds he had for changing his opinion of
the man in any degree.
In regard to Mr. Barnes's views of punctu-
ality, I have some very distinct recollections.
At all our meetings of Presbytery and Synod
he would insist most strenuously that no
business however pressing should interfere
in the least degree with our appointments
for devotional exercises. They must not be
deferred on any account whatever, but com-
mence at the precise moment specified in
the notice that had been given to the peo-
ple. Any proposal to defer these services
for a short time, until the business on hand
should be disposed of, would draw him to
his feet at once ; and he would press the
point that the notice that the religious ser-
vice would begin at that hour was equivalent
to a promise made to God and to the con-
gregation, which we had no right to break.
Let business wait ; but the people assem-
bled for the devotional services must not
be kept waiting after the appointed hour.
And this view of punctuality to appoint-
ments I have some reason to know he con-
stantly carried out in his own congregation.
On one occasion I was in the city on Wed-
nesday, and he invited me to lecture for him
that evening, stating the hour at which the
meeting commenced. I was a few minutes
late, owing to the tea arrangements of the
family with which 1 was staying. The bell
stopped ringing when I was a little more
than a square from the church gate. When
I entered the house I found that the ser-
vices had already begun. At the close of
the meeting 1 apologized to Mr. Barnes for
my tardiness, and said I was afraid I had
given him reason to fear that I was going to
disappoint him. His reply was, " The meet-
ing always begins at the last stroke of the
bell. This m)' congregation understand and
expect." And then he added, " If you had
not come to-night it would have put me to
no inconvenience. I never attend any ser-
vices in my church without being fully pre-
pared to conduct it myself, no matter who
has engaged to conduct it for me."
As illustrative of the very peculiar scru-
pulousness of his conscience, let me give
you an incident. Mr. Barnes had agreed to
preach on a certain occasion at a place in I
Chester County, some twelve or fifteen
miles from Philadelphia. He went out in
his own carriage and found the road exceed-
ingly bad — rough, stony and cut up into
deep ruts. It was a long, tedious ride, and
he arrived at the place of his appointment
very soie and weary, his horse, his carriage
and himself well bespattered with Chester
County mud. Now, before leaving his study
he had selected the 122 Psalm, ist partC. M..
to be sung at the opening of the service.
But when he opened the book and turned to
it, his eye fell upon the second verse, •• I
love her gates; I loz'e the road." No, no;
that would not do. He had discovered
nothing to love in the road he had travelled
to Zion that day. He could not sing, " I
love the road," neither could the congrega-
tion honestly and heartily sing it, covered
as they were with the dirt it had cast upon
them as they came over it. That Psalm,
beautiful as it was, could never have been
intended to be sung in that place, in such a
state of the public road. So he made another
selection to be sung that contained no allu-
sion to the road.
I furnish you this just as I heard it from
one of the Philadelphia brethren a short
time after the incident occurred. The inten-
tion of the narrator was to show the almost
painful delicacy of Mr. Barnes' conscience,
even in little things. Perhaps it was only
his sense of the incongruity.
In a somewhat intimate acquaintance with
Mr. Barnes, extending over a period of
thirty-five years, from 1835 to his death in
1870, I found only constantly increasing
reasons to esteem and love him, as a kind
brother, a conscientious man, a meek and
humble servant of Jesus. I never heard a
harsh or hasty or unkind word fall from his
lips. I never saw him lose his t.emper, even
for a moment. I never witnessed in him
any indulgence in silly jesting or unseemly
levity. He was " always an example to his
brethren, in word, in conversation, in char-
ity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." He never
forgot his calling as an ambassador of God,
nor lost sight of the example of his divine
Master. As He who had called him was
holy, so was he holy in all manner of con-
versation. He was at all times and in all
places the same humble and meek and de-
vout man of God, leaving upon all around

95
him the deep and abiding impression of his
heavenly temper and spirit. Even those
who took the strongest ground against him
on account of certain doctrinal views, ac-
knowledged his deep and sincere piety.
Let me give you a single example of such
acknowledgment, and it is not the only one
I could adduce.
Rev. Ashbel Green, D.D., was, as you
know, one of his decided and conspicuous
doctrinal opponents. But even he, when
the whirlwind of excitement had not yet
fully passed, bore the most earnest and em-
phatic testimony to the deep and fervent
piety of Mr. Barnes. On one occasion, — I
think shortly after the restoration of Mr.
Barnes to the ministry, — Dr. Green was
visiting a relative in the State of New York.
One afternoon a young minister, who was
also a visitor in the same house, was talk-
ing to the Doctor about the heresies of Mr.
Barnes. Somewhat abruptly the young
man asked him if he thought it possible
that such a man as Barnes could get to
Heaven — evidently expecting a negative
answer. The Doctor was walking back
and forth across the parlor floor. After the
question was asked, he still kept on to and
fro on the floor for a time without making
any reply and seemed to be absorbed in
solemn reflection. At length the old Doctor
stopped before his interrogator, and said
most solemnly, — " Young man, if you and 1
are permitted to sit at the teetof Mr. Barnes
in Heaven, we will have reason to bless
God to all eternity. I never for a moment
doubted his piety. I believed him to be
unsound on certain doctrines, and on that
ground I have opposed him. But his hon-
esty and sincerity, and deep piety before
God I never for a moment doubted. On
the contrary, I consider him one of the
best men in my knowledge." I got this
years ago from my own dear brother, who
was present on the occasion and heard the
whole conversaiton.
It seems from the above conversation
that Dr. Green had two sets of opinions in
regard to Mr. Barnes. On the one hand,
he thought him good enough for heaven ;
but on the other, he was sure that such a
man was not fit to be in the Presbyterian
church. On the one hand he was sure that
Mr. Barnes would occupy a very high seat
in Heaven, so that to sit at his feet there
would be a glorious privilege; but at the
same time he regarded him as a very pest-
iferous man in the church, and worthy only
to be rejected by his brethren and cast out
as a heretic, not delaying even for " the first
and second admonition ' required by the
apostle. However, I have no doubt that
Dr. Green most sincerely believed what he
said ; — that he really believed Mr. Barnes to
be a " man of deep piety before God." I
only wonder that it never occurred to him,
that the same kind of doctrine that had
borne such holy, heavenly fruit in the life
and character of Albert Barnes would have
been excellent in church and state, for the
upbuilding of Christian character in minis-
ter and people.
An apology is due to the readers of the

imperative engagements, in another direc-

THE ENLARGED SUPPLEMENT.
In the Supplement to this month's num-
ber of the Record, will begin the publica-
tion of the oldest records of the church. It
is not the purpose to print these records in
full, but matters of special importance and
interest will be selected, so that the Supple-
ments, from this date, may be bound in a
separate volume, which will contain the
salient facts in the history of the church,
for the one hundred and fifty years of its
existence. In order to make the volume
complete in itself, a reprint of portions of
the Trustee's book will be necessary. New
matter, however, to the extent of 96 pages,
or eight per month, for the twelve months
of the year, will regularly appear; and all
necessary reprint will be furnished to sub-
scribers, gratuitously in addition. It is
calculated that the publication, in this
form, will be completed in two years. If
sufficient encouragement be given, a full list
of all the names upon the Registers of the
church, arranged alphabetically and grouped
by families will then be printed, which may
be added to this separate volume and be
bound with it. In the meantime, the pub-
lication of the chronological lists of Bap-
tisms, Communicants, &c. will be continued. >
This changeVill, materially, interfere in
the future conduct of the paper, with some
cherished plans connected with the histories
of the churches of the City and County
and, also, with notices of persons identified
with the past of the church. But, as these
old records seem more important and, so
much time would be required to print them,
if the present mode of publishing the paper
were pursued, it has been thought best to
make the proposed change. The plan, how-
ever, of giving sketches of the lives of
pastors and prominent members of the con-
gregation, and of presenting histories of the
churches of Morristown and vicinity is, by
no means, abandoned. Considerable ma-
terial has been gathered for that purpose,
which will be utilized from time to time, so
far as practicable.
MR. BARNES S SERMON ; "THE WAY OF SALVA-
TION."
William L. King, Esq.. has kindly placed
a copy of this celebrated sermon at the dis-
posal of the Record. It was preached,
February 8, 1829, in the First Presbyterian
Church, at Morristown, and was printed in
1830, by Jacob Mann, the proprietor of the
Palladium of Liberty. At the time of its de-
livery, there was an extensive revival of re-
ligion in the congregation.
It was stated, in the December number of
the Record, that this sermon was the occa-
sion of the trial of Mr. Barnes for heresy,
This, perhaps, was an error ; it may not
have been the immediate cause of that trial,
for.at the time of the charge against him, Mr.
B.irnes was Pastor of the first Presbyterian
Church, at Philadelphia, and consequently,
a member of the Presbytery to which that
church was attached, and before which body
he was impeached by the Rev. Dr. Junkin*
98
THE RECORD.
But, if this sermon were not the immediate
cause of the trial, the charges against Mr.
Barnes were for holding sentiments, iden-
tical with those declared from his pulpit at
Morristown, and it was for holding these
opinions, that he was deposed by the Synod
to which Dr. Junkin appealed from the
judgment of the Presbytery.
It is impossible for Presbyterians of the
present day to understand the fierceness of
discussion which characterized the contro-
versy between the two branches of the
church. Dr. Junkin, Mr. Barnes's great an-
tagonist, pursued his opponent with an
acrimony, which seemed, at times, to be any
thing but brotherly. It is well that those
dark times of trouble and dissension, when
good and holy men could not agree upon
doctrines, have passed away. Perhaps there
would have been no real differences, if those,
who so varied in opinion, could have alike
understood the meaning of words and
phrases.
The sermon was evidently, prepared by
its author, with the greatest care. He has
added foot notes, quoting numerous texts of
scriptures, by which he sustained his various
positions.
The sermon will be printed so as to pre-
sent to the readers of the Record the utter-
ance of this great man, than whom no one
was more competent to give voice to views
upon the distinctive dogmas of the church
to which he belonged. It will be necessary,
for want of room, to omit the quotations,
and possibly, the toot notes ; but, it is
hoped, that the space may be given to these
notes, or at least to some of them, as they
are suggestive, certainly, of one fact, that
Mr. Barnes was aware, when writing the
sermon, that he was not in accord with the
standards of doctrine, as received by the
Presbyterian Church.
THE WAY OF SALVATION.
" But after that the kindness and Icrve of
God our Saviour to^uard man appeared, not
by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to his mercy he saved us. by the
washing of regeneration, and renewing of the
Holy Ghost, which he shed on us abundantly,
through Jesus Christ onr Saviour ; that being
justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life." — Titus,
iii. 4. 5' 6, 7.
All men have some scheme of salvation.
Except the very few cases where individuals
are thrown into a state of despair, there are
none who do not expect to be happy beyond
the grave. The proof of this is found in the
composure with which most men look at
eternity, and in their indifference when
warned of a coming judgment. It requires
the utmost strength of human hardihood,
when a criminal looks without trembling of
limbs on the gibbet where he is soon to be
executed ; and we infer, that there is no
hardihood so great, no courage so strong,
as to look upon eternal sorrow with a belief
that it will be ours, and be unmoved. When
we see, therefore, so many unconcerned
about their eternal state ; so many profes-
sing to believe that they are exposed to end-
less suffering, and still unanxious about it ;
the fair conclusion is, that not one syllable
of the book that teaches this is truly be-
lieved. It is not, cannot be, human nature,
to believe this, and still sit in indifference.
Every man, therefore, has some secret
scheme by which he expects to be saved.
Yet it IS perfectly clear that there can be
but one scheme of Salvation that is true.
If the christian plan is true, then all others
are false. If others are true, then there was
no need of the sacrifice on the cross, and the
scheme is an imposition. The admission
then — an admission which probably all the
sinners that I address would readily make —
the admission that the christian religion is
true, is a condemnation of all other systems,
and shuts out all who are not interested in
the plan of the gospel, from all hope of
heaven.
The text contains the substance of the
whole christian scheme. It expresses, I
believe, every point that is peculiar to
Christianity. It may be regarded as one of
those condensing paragraphs, or summaries
of the scheme, expressing all that is original
in the plan in few words, in which the sacred
writers seem to delight. It brings together
distant doctrines — scattered rays of light, to
be surveyed in the near neighborhood of
each other, and to set off each other by the
reflected light thrown from one point of
view to another.
It is not often that a subject so extensive
as the whole Christian plan of saving men,
is introduced into the pulpit, with a view of
THE RECORD.
99
g^iving its great points in a single discourse.
I endeavor, from week to week, to explain
particular parts of it, and to press its promi-
nent doctrines and duties on your attention.
It has occurred, that in the state of things
now existing in this congregation, there is
demanded a full, single view of God's way of
saving men. Such a view, according to the
interpretation which we give to the Bible, I
wish this morning to present. If a demand
somewhat more than usual should be made
on jour attention, it will be remembered, 1
trust, that it is difficult to give even an out-
line of the christian religion in a single dis-
course ; and perhaps it will be deemed
hazardous to have attempted it. Let me fur-
ther premise, that I shall be indebted verj'
much to your own knowledge of the Sacred
Scriptures for the proofs of the particular
points which I shall consider. I foresee that
it will demand no ordinary degree of atten-
tion on the part of my hearers to obtain,
and do justice to the views which I shall
present, — perhaps no ordinary candor to
necessary obscurity of statement, and bar-
renness of illustration. For the views them-
selves, if fairly understood, I ask no indul-
gence. They are the views, if I mistake not,
of God ; and I am bound only to present
them with fairness, and you to receive them
into good and honest hearts.
What, then, is God's plan of saving men.?
What are the great leading points on which
that plan is based, and to bring out which,
is the design of the Bible.'' These are the
questions which it is my wish, in few words,
to answer. It will be seen at once, that the
text ascribes all the honor to God, and none
to men. It will be the design in this dis-
course, honestly, in this respect, to follow
the representation of the text. Sinners and
saints, people and preacher, may expect
Irom this plan an unqualified condemnation,
and a pressing claim to lay aside all their
own honor, and to ascribe all glory to God.
I remark then, in the first place, that God's
plan of saving men is based on the fact that
the race is destitute of holiness. So says
the text. Not by works of righteousness
which we have done. If it were not so,
there would have been no necessity for the
scheme. Men would have possessed full
capability of saving themselves. If men, be-
fore or since the promulgation of this plan
of mercy, had any of the elements of holi-
ness ; or any traits of character, which could,
by culture, be wrought into a texture of
righteousness, then the design of interposi-
tion in this manner would have been a work
unnecessary, and would not have been done
at all. The design of interposing to save
mankind, supposed that in themselves they
were lost and must be ruined, if left to their
own guidance.
In the explanation of his position, it is im-
portant to be understood. It is not asserted
by the friends of the christian religion that
all men are as bad as they can be ; or that
one man is as bad as another ; or that there
is no morality — no parental or filial affection
— no kindness or compassion in the world —
no love of truth, and no honest dealing
among men. The friends of religion are not
blind to the existence of these qualities in a
high degree; nor are they slow to value
them, or to render them appropriate honors.
They suppose that the Bible presents the
fact, that all these things may exist, and
diffuse a charm over society, and cement the
body politic, and still there be an utter des-
titution of right feeling toward God. They
suppose that natural amiableness is no
proof that a man is not selfish ; that because
a child loves its parent, it is no evidence
that the child has any regard to God ; and
that it is possible that a man may be very
kind to the poor, and very just in his deal-
ings, and still have a heart full of pride, and
selfishness, and envy, and be an entire
neglector of God in the feelings of his soul,
and in regard to prayer, and to every act
that expresses homage to the Deity. Christ-
ianity does not charge on men crimes of
which they are not guilty. It does not say^
as I suppose, that the sinner is held to be
personally answerable for the transgressions
of Adam, or of any other man ;* or that
*It is not denied that this language varies from the state-
ments which are often made on the subject, and from the
opinion which has been entertained by many men. And it is
admitted that it does not accord with that used on the same
subject in the Confession of Faith, and in other standards of
doctrine. The main difference is, that it is difficult to affix
any clear and definite meaning to the expression, " we sinned
in him, and fell loith him." It is manifest, so far as it is
capable of interpretation, that it is intended to convey the idea
not that the sin of Adam is imputed to us, or set over to our
account ; but that there was a personal identity constituted
between Adam and his posterity, so that it was really our act,
and ours only, after all that is chargeable on us. This was
the idea of Edwards. — The notion of /w/«^/«^ sin, is an inven-
tion of modern times : it is not, it is believed, the doctrine of
the confession of faith. — The Author of this discourse intended
in the Sermon only to state what he conceived to be the doc-
trine of the Bible. Christianity affirms the fact, that in con-
loo
THE kfeCORD.
God has given a law which man has no
power to obey. Such a charge, and such a
requirement, would be most clearly unjust.
The law requiring love to God, supreme and
unqualified, and love to man, is supposed to
be equitable ; fully within the reach of
every mortal, if there was first a willing
mind. Every man is supposed to be under
obligation perfectly, and for ever, to obey
that law ; be he in heaven, earth, or hell, —
be he a king on the throne, or a beggar in
the streets, — be he a bondman or a freeman.
What then is the fact on which the plan
of mercy is based } It is simply, that all
men have failed to yield obedience to the
requirements of this reasonable law — that
there is not an individual that has given
evidence that he has not been its violator.
The violation of this pure law is held to be
the first act of the child when he becomes a
moral agent; the continued act of his life,
unless he is renewed ; and the last act on
his dying pillow. His whole career is set
down as one act of rebellion, because he
neglects God, is selfish, is proud, is cherish-
ing enmity against his Maker, is opposed to
the acts of hisgovernment, and is unfriendly
to all the efforts made to produce better feel-
ings. In innumerable instances this want
of holiness, this destitution of love to God
and man, goes forth in acts of falsehood,
impurity, blasphemy, theft, murder, unkind
feelings, and implacable individual and na-
tional war. — In support of this presentation
of the character of men, the sacred scrip-
tures assert the naked fact, claiming to be
the testimony of God. Christianity has
moreover recorded the history of the world,
under inspired guidance, for more than two-
thirds of its continuance, and presents no
exception to the melancholy account of
men. Profane writers, with no reference to
any theological debate, and nine-tenths of
them with no expectation that their testi-
nection with the stii of Aiiam, or as a result, all moral agciu> in
this world will sin — and sinning, will die. Koni. v, 12 — 19.
It does not aflirm, however, any thing about the mode in which
this would be dune. There are many ways conceivable in
which that sin might secure the result, as there are many
ways in which all similar facts may be e.xplained. I'he
drunkard commonly secures as a result, the fact that his family
will be beggared, illiterate, perhaps profane or intemperate.
Both facts are evidently to be explained on the saint principle
as a part of moral Government. The Bible does not, it is be-
lieved, affirm that there is any principle of moral government
in the one case that is not in the other. Neither the facts, nor
any proper inferences from the facts, affirm that I am, in either
C3sa, personally responsible for what another man tlld before I
had an existence.
uiony would ever be adduced to settle ques-
tions in Divinity, have presented the same
fact. Not one solitary historian, though
coming from the midst cf the people whose
daeds are recorded, and designing to give
the most favorable representation of their
character, has exhibited a nation bearing
any marks of holiness. The world, the
wide world is presented as apostate ; and he
must be worse than blind that would at-
tempt to set up a defence of the conduct of
men.
Christianity appeals to individuals. All
who have been converted by its power, have
given their decided testimony, to the darkest
representations of the human heart, in the
sacred record. Men, before, of all charac-
ters, the moral, and the vicious, have con-
curred in the representation that they were
by nature the children of wrath, and that
their hearts were enmity against God.
On this broad fact — wide as the world, and
prolonged as its history — the christian
scheme is based. Here is an apostate pro-
vince of God's empire. Rebellion invaded
it, not as it did the ran'cs of heaven. There
it cut off a fixed number ; all mature in wis-
dom and knowledge. It would not spread ;
it could not be extended to successive tribes.
Here, it poisoned a fountain. It was amidst
God's works, at first but a little spring, pour-
ing into a rill, but soon swelling to creeks,
to rivers, to lakes, to oceans. An incalcula-
ble number would descend from that first
pair of apostates ; and with prophetic cer-
tainty it could be foretold that not one of
all their descendants would escape the con-
tagion to the end of time, however long the
apostate world might be suffered to roll
amongst the orbs that preserved allegiance.
To all ages it would be the same — rising,
sinning, apostate, dying man. On each is-
land, on each mountain, in each valley, in
each cavern, wild or civilized, it would be
the same. Crime would be heaped on
crime ; — whole nations would bleed ; — whole
soils be wet with gore ; — whole tribes would
wail ; — and generation would tread on gene-
ration— and then themselves expire — and all
die as enemies of the God that made them.

to arrest the evil } — I remark, secondly, that

fying: of the law; and had no particular re-
ference to any class of men. We judge that
he died for all. He tasted death for every
man. He is the propitiation for the sins of
the world. He came, that whosoever would
believe on him should not perish, but have
eternal life.
The full benefit of this atonement is of-
fered to all men. In perfect sincerity God
makes the offer. He has commissioned his
servants to go and preach the Gospel — that
is, the good news that salvation is provided
for them — to every creature. He that does
not this ; that goes to offer the Gospel to a
part only ; to elect persons only ; or that
supposes that God offers the Gospel onlj' to
a certain portion of mankind, violates his
corMmission, practicallj'^ charges God with
insincerity, makes himself " wise above what
is written," and brings great reproach on
the holy cause of redemption. The offer of
salvation is not made by man, but by God.
It is his commission ; and it is his solemn
charge, that the sincere offer of heaven
should be made to every creature. That all
creatures have not heard it ; that ever}-^
heathen-man, ever}- Indian, African, and Is-
lander, have not heard it, has been owing to
the unfaithfulness of ministers — to the
avarice of the church — to the want of proper
zeal among christians, and not to the com-
mand of God, or of any want of fulness in
the atonement.
I assume the free and full offer of the Gos-
pel to all men, to be one of those cardinal
points of the system by which \ guage all
my other views of truth. It is, in my view,
a corner-stone of the whole edifice ; that
which makes it so glorious to God, and so
full of good-will to men. I hold no doctrines
— and by the grace of God never can hold
any — which will be in my views inconsistent
with the free and full offer of the Gospel to
all men : or which will bind my hands, or
palsy my tongue, or freeze my heart, when I
stand before sinners to tell them of a dying
Saviour. I stand as the messenger of God,
with the assurance, that all that vjill may be
saved ; that the atonement was full and free;
and that if any perish, it will be because
they choose to die, and not because they
are straitened in God. I have no fellow-
feeling for any other Gospel ; I have no
right hand of fellowship to extend to any
scheme that does not say that God sincerely
offers all the bliss of Heaven to every guilty
wandering child- of Adam, — be he a Caffra-
rian, a Hindoo, a man of China, or a Lapland-
er ; — ^a beggar or a king, a rich man, a learned
man, a moral man, or an abandoned wretch
of christian climes.
The scheme of salvation, I regard, as of-
fered to the -world, as free as the light of
heaven, or the rains that burst on the moun-
tains, or the full swelling of broad rivers and
streams, or the heavings of the deep. And
though millions do not receive it — though
in regard to them the benefits of the plan
are lost, and to them, in a certain sense, the
plan ma}' be said to be in vain, yet I see in
this the hand of the same God that pours
the rays of noon-day on barren sands, and
genial showers on desert rocks, and gives
life, bubbling springs, and flowers, where no
man is, to our eyes, yet not to his, in vain.
So is the offer of eternal life, to everj'^ man
here, to every man every where, sincere and
full — an offer that, though it may produce
no emotions in the sinner's bosom here,
would send a thrill of jo}^ through all the
panting bosoms of the suffering damned.
III. In the presentation of this scheme, I
proceed to remark, in the third place, that
while God thus sincerely oflFers the gospel
to men, all mankind, while left to them-
selves, as sincerely and cordially reject it.
It is not to any want of physical strength,
that this rejection is owing; for men have
power enough in themselves to hale both
God and their fellow-men ;. and it requires
less phj^sical power to love God than to hate
him ; less power to love a kind and tender
parent, than in the face of conscience, and
motive, and law, to hate such a parent. And
so with regard to a kind, and patient, and
holy God. It is found that it is far easier
to be reconciled to him, and love him, than
to remain at war and oppose Ifim.
It is supposed that it is an evident reflec-
tion on the Deity, of a most serious nature,
to say that he has required under the pen-
alty of eternal vengeance, that of man,
which he has in no sense power to do.
The rejection of the gospel, then, is to be
traced to some cause, where man will be to
blame, not God.
It is impossible for the pure gospel to
have any fellowship with a scheme, which
THE RECORD.
in any sense charges God with wrong. The
fact that the gospel is rejected, is then to be
traced to the obstinacy of men ; to a de-
cided, deliberate purpose not to be saved in
this way. All men are supposed, by nature,
to be insensible of the need of salvation by
another. They are held to be so much op-
posed to God, that they loill not submit to
him. Thev are charged with being so much
You. who are impenitent sinners in this
house, are most favorable representations,
in this respect, of your fellow-rebels against
heaven, in other parts of the world. May I
ask what has been your treatment of the
plan of salvation } From year to year, it
has been pressed on your attention. Argu-
ment, entreaty, and persuasion, have been
exhausted in vain. Never has the smooth-
in love with sin, that neither commands nor i ness oi yo\xx self-complacency been ruffled
threatenings. — neither love, nor vengeance,
neither the offer of heaven, nor the pros-
pect of hell, will induce them to forsake it.
They are so proud, that they will not sioop
to receive even eternal joy as a gift. They
have so high a conception of their own
merit, that neither argument nor intreaty,
nor the mild voice of persuasion, will in-
duce them to come to the arms of a bleeding
Saviour.
Their hearts are so hard, their minds are
so blind, that the Saviour might have pro-
longed his groans to the end of time, and
the rocks — the hard rocks of Jerusalem,
might have burst; and the firm granite of
the everlasting hills been dashed to powder,
but still the sinner's heart would have been
unmoved by all his groans ; and the race
would have been giddy in pleasure, and im-
mersed in business, and grasping honor un-
moved. And, had the darkness of that un-
natural night when he died, been prolonged
to the present time ; and had it been still
whispered in ever)' breeze, and heard in
every echo, that the Son of God was j/^/ suf-
fering for men, and crying in the bitterness
of a dying soul, " My God ! my God I why
hast thou forsaken me .^" still not one soli-
tary human heart would, of itself, care that
there was no sorrow like to this sorrow.
From this scene the world turns in cool
contempt. The plan is rejected. Man will
not come to Christ that he ma}' have life.
The proof of this we need not adduce. It is
found in the Saviour's personal ministry —
in the fact that n nation consoired to put
him to death,— in the wide, universal rejec-
tion of the gosp.;l since, — in the humiliating
unconcern with which men listen, when
" In. strains as sweet
As Angels use, the Gospel whispers peace,"
in the open opposition, the profane jibe, the
bitter sneer, with which the multitude turn
from the sufferings of Jesus.
by any remorse that you have trampled on
the blood of the Son of God ; — never has the
highness of your look been brought down
by the remembrance that you have practi-
cally joined in the cry, " Crucify him. Crucify
him ;■' never have you breathed one solitary
emotion of gratitude to heaven, that
Judah's rocks heard his groans, and that her
mountains echoed his sighs ; never have
you sought his aid or felt your need of his
salvation, or desired an interest in his
blood. With one consent, you have turned
your backs on the gospel. So have all the
race — so would you. and they, to the end of
time. There is such a cool indifference to it
in the sinner's bosom, — or such decided con-
tempt,— or such fixed opposition, that if it
were left to itself, not a man would be saved.
As the cold and putrid carcasses of the dead
do not of themselves seek life; as the turf
would not move, nor the tomb-stones shake,
nor the pale mouldering people open their
eyes, of thenisch'cs, if I were to go and
preach to yonder graves ; even so it is,
when I preach to sinners. Of themselves,
they are all sightless, and motionless, and
fixed. They cordially reject the gosoel. So
it is with all the race, so it has ever been,
and ever will be. Men are so wicked, that
they will not be saved by a holy Redeemer,
and a holy scheme. — We are prepared, then,
to remark, in the
IVth place — That those who are saved,
will be saved because God does it by the re-
newing of the Holy Ghost. If the last point
which I suggested be true, that all are dis-
posed to reject the scheme, then it would
seem to follow, that if any are saved, it will
be by the special agency of God. To ac-
complish this, it is supposed he has sent
down his Holy Spirit into the world. In
the discharge of his gieat official work, he
arrests the attention of heedless sinners.
He does it by applying the preached gospel,

THE RECORD.
by leading: the thoughts in a propec manner
in the dispensations of his Providence, — by
blessing the example and conversation of
parents brothers, and friends, or by a se-
cret, silent influence, known only to the in-
dividual, drawing the thoughts along to
eternity, producing distaste to the ways and
wages of sin, and a panting and breathing
of the soul for enjoyments suited to its na-
ture. The effect of this operation of the
Spirit is not to produce inactivity or
slumber. It is not compulsion. No man is
compelled, against his will, to be saved.
The work of salvation, and the work of
damnation, are the two most deliberate and
solemn acts of choosing, that mortal man
ever performs.
The Spirit of God acts on the will. He
goes before the convicted sinner to remove
obstacles ; he pours light into the mind ; he
impresses truth ; he urges to duty. He calls
up the sinners own activity ; and the guilty
man, sensible now of his danger, commences
the most mighty and persevering struggle
in which he ever ,^ngages, that to secure
the salvation of Ws soul ; and under the
guidance of this spirit, he goes willingly and
cheerfully, where he would not of himself
go. to pardon and peace. There is here sup-
posed to be no violation of freedom. In all
this the sinner chooses freely. The spirit
compels no one : he shuts out no one — if
the particular influence is not given to all —
as no man can maintain that it is, and as
the world is full of facts to show — it is
thought, that no man is injured when salva-
tion is freely and sincerely offered to him ;
and when he as freely and sincerely rejects
it. No being in heaven or earth, but him-
self, shuts him out of the blessings of re-
demption. The same heaven is offered, —
the same Saviour died, — the same promises
are made to him, and he has all the requisite
power to comply. If he chooses to go to
hell, after all this, no injustice will be done
him : nor will he suffer beyond his deserts,
if all other beings choose of themselves to
be saved, or if Gocisf^c^^^^ ^^ 5^?'^ ihevi, and
takes the glory to himself.
It is an essential part of the scheme which
I am stating, that God, not man, begins the
work. In the language of the Episcopal
and Methodist articles of religion, the grace
of Christ ''prevents" — that is, goes before \.\\^
sinner in his efforts to be saved. God begins
the work, disposes the sinner to act, and
pray, and repent, and gives him pardon.
God does not himself repent, but he gives
grace to man to do it for himself. That this
is the true statement is clear. Man himself,
as we have seen, will not come to Christ,
that he might have life. One man has no
power to produce this change in another.
The Devil surely will not do a work so un-
like himself, and so injurious to his king-
dom. It remains, then, that it is the work
of God. In the distributions of these favors,
he acts by a rule that he has not made
known to us. There can be no doubt that
it is wise, but he has notgiven us the reason
of it. TYvQfact he has stated, and the world,
the nations past, and present, the distant
tribes of men, and this place, are full of
proofs that God changes, by his power, th*e
hearts of many ; and that there are many
whose hearts are not changed — who choose
not to be saved, and whom God has not yet
chosen to renew and pardon. No man has
a right to conclude, that he is shut out from
salvation, except by the fact. If he loves
sin, and will not repent and believe the
gospel, he has no evidence that he will be
saved ; and if he persist in this course, he
will be among the reprobate and be damned,
by his own choice. \{ he should repent and
believe, he would be saved, and be among
the elect, and give the glory to God.
This doctrine, that God by his spirit /r^-
vents. or goes before a sinner in his efforts,
or commences and carries forward the work
by his own power, 1 deem of cardinal value
in the work of religion. If it be true, then
it is of the utmost importance that it should
be seen and felt to be true, and that the
Holy Ghost should have the glory. I have
no sympathy with any scheme that divides
the honor with man. I have so deep a sense
of the utter and total wickedness of the
human heart, — of its entire opposition by
nature to all that is good, and of the corrup-
tion of all its best efforts, even when aided,
that I involuntarily shrink from every
scheme that seems to mingle in merit the
pure work of the Holy Ghost, with the
crude and abortive energies of my own
bosom. I seek to ascribe, in this work,
simple and undivided praises to God; to

{Mr. Barnes's Sermon Continued.)
feel and proclaim to my expiring breath,
that God " is first, is midst, is last, is supre-
mest, best," in all the work of saving men ;
and that poor human nature, in all cases ex-
cept in the person of Jesus, is to be regarded
as undeserving, polluted, and meriting only
death eternal.
What God does, he intends to do. There
is no chance — no hap-hazard. What it is
right for him to do, it is right for him to
purpose to do. What he does in my salva-
tion or yours, he always meant to do. In him
is no change, no shadow of turning. He has
no new plan. We should have no securitv
of the salvation of an individual if he
changed — no security that an act of justice
would ever be done to any of the living or
the dead. The welfare of the universe de-
mands that he should have one unchanging
plan, running from the beginning to the
end of years; and if there is a God immu-
tably just and holy, there must be. In that
purpose, and not in our poor abortive plans,
lies your welfare and mine.
It is no part of this scheme, as you will
see, that God made men on purpose to damn
them. No man, from the beginning of the
world, to my knowledge, has ever professed
to maintain that opinion. It is certainly not
the sentiment of the Bible, and no man has
any right to charge it on any system of re-
ligion ; and I do not deem it too serious to
say, is guilty of gross slander if he does it.
God made men to glorify himself in their
holiness and felicity ; and has made provi-
sion for their salvation, and if they do not
choose to be saved ; it they choose to hate
him, and rebel, and go to perdition, and HE
does not choose to save them against their
will, they cannot blame ki'm for their self-
chosen condemnation. It is an act of jus-
tice which we claim, that it should be re-
membered, that neither here, nor in any
christian church on the face of the earth is
it held, that God made men on purpose to
damn them. If, then, God renews the heart
by his Holy Spirit, if he begins and carries
forward the work in all that shall be saved,
and holds the power of doing this over aH
men, and does not thus incline all to com©
to him, and it be asked, as well it may be,
why he does not renew and save all — we
have only to say, that all do not choose to be
saved, and w/// not come to him. If it be
asked why the great sovereign of worlds
does not constrain them to come, and bring
all to heaven, I answer, my powers of rea-
son here fail, — my understanding faints
and is weary ; and I ask also, why he did not
keep by his power men and devils from
falling, and save the universe from sin and
sorrow altogether ?— Secret things belong
to God, and I can only say as God's only
Son said long since, " Even so, Father, so it
seemeth good in thy sight." The christiari-
scheme, then, claims that God, by his spirit,
renews all that will be saved. I remark,
V. That this is done by a change in the
affections and life of man. This change has
been usually called regeneration, or the new

THE RECORD.
birth, or conversion. It is that revolution
of character, when a man ceases to he a sin-
ner total and unqualified, and begins to be a
iinnn of holiness. It implies a change in his
views and feelings towards God, and the
Saviour,— towards the truths and duties of
religion, — towards christians, and a revolu-
tion in his objects and pursuits. It is not
merely a love of happiness in a new form, it
IS a love of God and divine things, because
they ai^ good and ami.ible in themselves.
It is insiantaneous — not always indeed
known at the time or precise moment, but
to be tested by the new views and feelings,
and especially by a holv life. New objects
are loved ; new views are acted on ; a new
world opens to the view ; and the man be-
fore selfish, becomes now benevolent; he
that was vicious becomes virtuous ; he that
hated religion is now its friend; he that
Hooked with cool contempt on all that could
be said or done to win him. now enters heart
and soul into the same work, and wonders
that all dcjes not see as he sees ; he that
sought only to live and enjoy himself here,
now rises to higher objects, begins to feel
that he is in the infancy of his being, and
casts an eye of desire to the green fields in
the skies, where he may for ever sweep the
lyre in the praise of the Son of God, and
unite with angels and archangels in lauding
him that sitteth on the throne forever and
ever. Never was a more appropriate name
given by inspired or uninspired lips than to
call such a man a new creature. He begins
now to live. He has just awaked to the
great purposes of his being, and treads with
alight heart, and soft step, the earth where
he shall soon sleep, and fixes the eye on the
heavens that are soon to become his home.
All this is done through the merits of the
Son of God, in virtue alone of his death,
and in connection with two acts made in-
dispensable by the authority of God. These
high feelings, these exalted hopes, are con-
ferred on no one who repents not of his
sins, and believes not on the Son of God.
The former act implies deep sorrow that
God has been offended ; a deep sense of the
intrinsic evil of sin, as well as of its conse-
quences ; and a solemn purpose to renounce
all that opposes God. The latter implies a
sense of the lost condition by nature ; a
conviction of helplessness, and unworthi-
ness, and a simple reliance on the merits of
the Lord Jesus Christ, a willingness to be
in the hands of a holy God, and an humble
trust in the promises of aid. It is a solemn,
deliberate rejection of self, and a giving up
the soul to God, and a cordial hatred of
sin in every lorm, and an embracing of the
only Lord God, as the portion and Saviour
of the soul. In connection with this act of
believing, the sinner is pardoned and just-
ified. A sweet sense of pardon, a peace
that passeth all understanding flows into
the wounded spirit. The storms subside, —
the sky becomes clear and serene. A new
beauty — the beauty of a new spring, where
every flower and fountain, every rock and
hill, every sun and star, have " found a
tongue " to tell the praises of the all-present
God of redemption, spreads over the works
of creation and providence. And the soul
redeemed and disenthralled goes f<;rth for
the first time to enjoy truly the works of
creation, or the business of life, or the so-
ciety of new-found friends. There is a charm
around the duties of religion, unfelt in all
other employments; and all tell of the
height and depth, and length, and breadth,
of the love of Christ that passeth knowl-
edge.
The evidence of this great change is to
be sought in the life. By their fruits they
shall be known. They shall grow in grace.
They shall be progressively sanctified.
They, and they only, have evidence of this
change who die unto sin, and live unto
righteousness, who put on the Lord Jesus
Christ, — are clothed with humility, crucify
the flesh with the affections and lusts — who
do justice, love mercy, walk humbly, and
persevere unto ihe end.
VI. The only other remark which 1 shall
make in explaining our views of this
scheme, is, that this salvation is complete;
and that God will watch over each renewed
spirit till the day of judgment, and bring
it infallibly to his kingdom. We should
deem it strange, if God should be at all the
expense of this plan,— if he should awaken
and renew a soul, — if he should sprinkle on
that soul the blood of Jesus, and freely par-
don all its sins, and adopt it into his family,
and make it a joint heir with Christ to an
inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, — if
angels should rejoice over it, and after all

in vain, and it should fall away and die for-
ever. Such a once-pardoned sinner would,
we should think, claim a rank in hell by
himself. Such a work would belie all God's
other works. When has he begun a thing.
and abandoned it? Why should this he
begun, and then forsaken .^--It is then in ac-
cordance, we suppose, with a scheme com-
plet-j in all its parts, that the all-seeing and
ail-powerful Saviour said, My sheep hear
my voice, and I know them, and they follow
me: and I give unto them eternal life, and
they shall never perish, neither shall any
pluck them out of my hand : and in accord-
ance with the same system he will say in
the day of judgment to all hypocrites and
apostates, with their pretences to experi-
ence and joy. I SKVF.)^ kfic'tv yoit, depart from
me.
It is with peculiar interest that we are
permitted to proclaim that all that will be-
lieve. ALL, not a part, shall infallibly be
saved ; that God is able to keep that which
3'ou have committed to him against that
•day ; that HE will never leave you, nor for-
sake you ; that it 3'ou will come to him he
■yN\\\ in no wise cast you out; that he will
keep you by his mighty power through faith
unto salvation ; and that though you fall,
you shall not be utterly cast down. To all,
I say, if you believe the gospel, hcai'en is
yours. When you believe, you lay hold with
no feeble grasp, on. eternal life;' and in
every season of temptation and conflict, yoa
shall find the Saviour, like the shadow of a
great rock in a weary land, a covert from
the tempest, a hiding-place from the storm,
a strong tower into which the righteous may
run ;ind be safe. A heaven of boundless
felicity shall be yours ; and neither the mar-
shalled hosts of hell, nor the devices of men-,
nor the ten thousand foes in your own
bosom, and around you, ehall be able to
pluck you from him who holds you in the
hollow of the hand, and guards you as the
apple of the eye. The angels await your ap-
proach. They shall come forth with the
glorious Son of God in the day of judgment,
to welcome you to your, and their, etf^rnal
home. With them, you shall ascend, amidst
songs and loud hallelujahs, rolling sweet
music o'er the skies, to your, and their Fath-
er and God, to dwell where shall be no more
sin, nor pain, nor death.
There, in the blessed bosoni of the living
God, the everlasting Father of his redeemed
people, there, shall terminate the efforts to
redeem man. There, shall be gathered a
countless host from every nation and
tongue to join in one song of universal
praise, to " extol ////// first, ///;;/ midst and
him without end." There shall be humbled
all human pride ; and God only shall attract
all eyes, and fill all hearts with the glories
displayed in devising and executing the
scheme, resulting in the ceaseless felicity of
lost, ruined man.
I still ask your indulgence, while I deduce
from this fruitful subject some important
practical remarks.
ist. Permit me to ask of you, my hearers,
are you prepared to commit the interests of
your immortal souls to this plan of salva-
tion } If I mistake not, the scheme which
i have presented, is that ot the Bible. If it
is, it is the only way in which men can be
saved. No scheme of morality, no religious
device, if it has not the elements of this
scheme in it, can be true or safe. The plan
that humbles man, and exalts God ; that
presents the great Sovereign of worlds as
originating and carrying forward the
scheme, is that which is presented in
the Sacred Scriptures. Unless I have
read the Bible, and facts to no purpose,
this which I have presented contains the
outlines ot the scheme of truth. This
is the system ot the Bible. This is the
doctrine which, in all ages, has excited the
opposition of the human heart. Herein is
the offence of the cross. Here is the
scheme that abases all human pride, and
gives honor, where honor is due, to God
only. — I may add, that this is Calvinism, —
the scheme so often misrepresented, — so
little understood, — so much hated by im-
penitent sinners — a scheme that has ex-
cited, probably, more opposition than any
other system of doctrines since the founda-
tion of the world. This scheme, if I under-
stand it, contains nothing more than an
enlargement of the principles which I have
stated in this discourse. It neither asserts,
that God made men to damn them, — nor
that infants will be damned, — nor that sin-
ners will be lost, do what they can, — nor
that God is unwilling to save them, — nor
that a poor penitent may not be saved ;

THE RECORD.
but it claims that God is full of mercy, mak-
ing ample provision for all that will come
and inviting all freely ; — that all men are
full of evil, and of themselves will noX. come ;
— that those that are saved, are saved by
the grace of God, in which he bestows his
favors according to infinite wisdom, and
his sovereign pleasure ; — that he has no
new views about it, but h;is always intended
to do what he actually does ; — and that he
renews no heart in vain, but will keep all
that are renewed, unto salvation. I appeal
to your consciences, dying sinners, if this is
not the scheme of the Bible ? 1 ask not
whether this is such a plan as a proud, im-
penitent sinner would love, or such as your
unsanctified feelings would approve, but I
ask, is It not the evident scheme of the
Word of God ? Is it not the plan on which,
in fact, God governs the world } — Who in
this house can gainsay, or resist it ; or
prove, or believe, that it is not.^ — Not one. I
ask then, again, fellow-sinners, are you pre-
pared to commit your eternal interests to
this plan ? Are you willing to be saved in
this way.? Are you willing to abase your-
selves at the feet of the Sovereign of
worlds, and to give all the honor to God ?
Do you feel safe in this plan ; do you feel
that you are lost sinners — that you deserve
eternal death — that you lie at the Sovereign
mercy of God — that you have no claim ;
and feeling this, are you willing to drop
into the hands of Jesus, and to be saved by
his merit alone .-* Do you feel, that it you
are saved, it will not be by might or power
of yours, but by the spirit of the Lord ?
And do you love this scheme? Do you
seek that God should be honored in it ; and
do you praj' and earnestly desire that it
should spread wide as the world ? Do you
pant that all may taste the grace of God —
that every inhabitant of the lost world
should join with you in the song of redeem-
ing mercy ? If these are your feelings, then
you are christians. I hesitate not to hold
out to you, all the consolation that a min-
ister of Jesus can afford, and to assure you,
that you are treading the narrow path that
leads to life. In that strait way, moving as
God directs you, you shall find indeed, here
and there a thorn, or a deep lavine, or a
fen, or morass ; but all along the path
flowers shall shed their fragrance, the ear
shall listen to sweet harmony, green fields
shall spread out before you, and the hooe
of heaven shall cheer you. To such I say,
go on. Press forward. The prize, even the
eternal crown, is near. Look not back ; but
depending on the grace of God, fix the eye
on heaven, and fight manfully the fight of
laith, and lay hold on eternal life.
Ofimpenitent sinners, whether anxious
or not, I say,
2dly, Are you prepared to reject this
scheme.'' 'Yo yoMX consciences, not to your
feelings, for you will not love it, — to your
consciences, I put it, whether this is not
the scheme of the Bible } If it is, and what
rebellious man here can deny it, if it is the

Then all your present plans, your morals,
your formal prayers, your self-righteous-
ness, your vain reliance on the unpromised
mercy of God, are schemes that are abomin-
able in the sight of your Maker ; and they
and you, unless you forsake them, shall be
driven away like chaff before the tempest.
There is but one path that leads to life. It
is a path where God is honored, and the sin-
ner humbled In that path the sinner does
not, will not tread. — Again I ask, are you
prepared, fellow-mortal, to reject this
scheme ? I do not ask, whether you will
deny it in words, for not a man dare, or can
do this. But will you reject it in fact?
Man of the world, you. that love riches and
honors more than God, will you still love
your riches ; and in seeking your own
honors, refuse to honor God } Guilty sin-
ner, you whose profaneness, and sensuality,
and envy, and pride, have rendered your
heart black as hell, and miserable almost as
the damned, are you prepared to reject this
plan, and still love your sins? — Trembling
sinner, bent under the weight of your guilt,
and almost on the verge of life — you that
seek salvation and have not found it, are
you prepared to reject this scheme, and
trust to your own merits ? If you do, you
do it, I repeat it. at your peiil. It is your
duly now to embrace it. Here is all your
hope. If this scheme is rejected, — if you
will not submit to God's plan of saving men.

3d. From this subject, we see what ex-
cludes men from Heaven. It is not a want
of fulness, and freeness, in the plan of
mercy. It is not that God is unwilling to save
the sinner. It is simply because /^« will not be
saved. You choose your own pride, your
own vanity, your own lust, your own course
in life — the path that leads to hell. Need I
repeat the assurance so often made here,
and in the Sacred Scriptures, that if you are
lost, it will not be because God, or the
Saviour, or the Angels, or Ministers, or
Christians are to blame .' It will be simply
because you choose death rather than life.
No other being will bear the guiltbut your-
selves. Forever and forever, you will welter
in eternal woe, bearing your guilt unpitied
and alone. No other being will bear the
blame. No solitary mortal or immortal can
be charged with the guilt of your destruc-
tion. Nor will it be a trifling crime to be
damned. It is not a thing which you are at
liberty to choose. You have no right to go
down to hell and become the eternal enemy
of God. You are under solemn obligations
to be saved. Think what is implied in being
lost. It implies the rejection of God's plan
of saving the soul — the grieving of the spirit
of God — trampling on the blood of Jesus —
unbelief of what the God of truth has de-
clared— contempt of his threatenings — the
love of self, of sin, of destruction. Sinner,
have you a right to travel in this wretched
path } Have you a right thus to trifle with
a holy God ? Have you a right to reject all
the means of mercy, and deliberately sin
forever, against the God that made you .' I
appeal to your conscience. Let me also re-
mind you, if you go from this place to woe,
you will inherit no common damnation.
Here this amazing plan of God's mercy, has
been presented again and again. Here you
have been entreated in every possible way
to be saved. Here God's Spirit has striven.
Many of you have been before awakened,
and lived through revivals of religion. W^ith
great power he has, within the past three
months, awed you. Others have pressed
into the kingdom ; and you have felt and
known, that you must repent or die. You
are now passing through the most solemn
and interesting scenes that the earth wit-
nesses, and listening to the most affecting

be to blame, if you are lost — if others are
taken, and you are left ? Will God.' Will

THE RECORD.
Christians? Will ministers? Will parents?
Will friends? or will you yourselves? Let
conscience answer. Go home this day, im-
penitent sinner, if God spares a rebel like
you to get home — go home and reflect, that
if you pass through this revival unmoved,
if you resist all the appeals that are made
to you, from day to day, and week to week,
the probability is, that you will be damned,
and the certainty is, that j^« only will be to
blame if you are. I do not say that you will
certainly be lost, I say that a most fearful
probability " thunders perdition on your
guilty path." What should move you here-
after, if you are not now moved ? What
more can be done for you than has been
done? You have been warned, entreated,
impressed. You know your duty, and your
doom, if you do it not. You are in the hands
of a Sovereign^God. There I leave you. I
have no other power than to spread out the
scheme of mercy— to entreat you by the
love of Jesus, and the mercy of God, and the
value of the soul, to embrace the offer of
life ; and if you will perish, I must sit down
and weep as I see you glide to the lake of
death. Yet I cannot see you take that dread
plunge — see you die, die forever, without
once more assuring you that the offer of
the gospel is freely made to you. While
you linger this side the fatal verge, that
shall close life and hope and happiness, I
would once more lift up my voice and say.
See, Sinner, see a God of love. He comes
to you. He fills the heaven, the skies, the
earth. Hear his voice as it breaks on the
stillness of this house. Listen to the accents
of the ever-living God — "As I live I have
no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but
rather that he turn and live : turn ye, turn
ye, for why will ye die?" In the hands of
that present God, that benignant Father,
whose mercy breathes from every page of
this book, I leave you. To him I commend
you, with the deep feeling in my own bosom,
that you are in his hands ; that you are
solemnly bound to repent to-day, and be-
lieve the gospel, and that if you perish, you
only will be to blame. I feel, and know,
that for not repenting, you have no excuse,
and that God will forever hold you guilty.
I also feel, and know, that God is under
no obligation to save you. That it you die,
he will be guiltless. That if you are saved,
it will be by his sovereign mercy — in such a
way, that he only will have the praise ; and
that the great secret, whether you will live
or die, is lodged in his bosom, and that no
mortal can compel or control him. That
he holds over you the sceptre of life, or the
sword of death ; and that if you die, all
creation will bow and say Amen, and Amen.
We also teel, and know, that God can save
you — that he hears prayer. We will bear
you, then, before the throne of grace, and
say — Sovereign of worlds. Arbiter of life
and death, spare this people, and save these
dying sinners. "Oh, most holy, blessed,
and merciful Saviour, deliver them not into
the bitter pains of eternal death I" Amen.

DR. IRVING'S SERMON.
With the present number. The Record
begins the publication of a very valuable
sermon by the Rev. David Irving D. D.; an
historical sketch of the revivals in the First
Church. It was written during a time un-
usually full of distractions and trying inter-
ruptions, and preached on the first Sabbath
after the completion of the most extended
and expensive renovation which the Church
has ever received. This sermon has just
now a special interest, owing to the fact
that Dr. Irving is suffering from a painful
accident, which he received while in atten-
dance at the Presbyterian Council in Bel-
fast. His friends will be glad to learn that

REVIVALS IN THE CHURCH:
BY THE
Rev. David Irving, D. D.
Preached on first Sabbath after the re-
novation of the Church, Sept. i8th, 1859.
Psalm 122, 5th part ; Anthem ; Psalm 132
2d Part.
But I will remember the years of the
right hand of the Most High. I will re-
member the works of the Lord : surely I
will remember thy wonders of old, I will
meditate also of all thy work, and talk of
thy doings. — Psalm, Lxxvii, 10-12.
If it were good for the children of Israel
to look back and remember all the way
which the Lord their God led them ; if the
Church in the text encouraged herself by
the remembrance of former deliverances ; so
does it become his covenant people now, at
times, to talk of his wonders of old, and
hover with the deepest gratitude over the
years of the right hand of the Most High.
Around these the fondest and the holiest

THE RECORD.
memories of the few cluster ; whilst the
mass live rather in what they heard
than in what they saw, able however
to utter the language of the Church
in the days of David, " we have heard with
our ears, O God ; our fathers have told us
what works thou didst in their days, in the
time of old." And all of us in the survey
can repeat the declaration and longing of
Zion, " Lord, thou hast been favorable unto
thy land; thou hast brought back the cap-
tivity of Jacob. Wilt thou not revive us
again, that thy people may rejoice in thee .-*"
For such a survey of the Lord's work in the
past will give us a fresh occasion to delight
in our relation to God, and in the manifesta-
tion of his transforming and sanctifying
power.
This disposition to look back to former
times is instructive. Who of us does not
cherish in thought our youthful deeds, and
wonder — yea, oft linger — over the scenes of
childhood. As a Nation we seek to perpe-
tuate the story of our youth, and are aiming
to hand down to coming ages, by commemor-
ative signals, some of the prominent inci-
dents and characters of the past. Shall we
not, as a Congregation preserved and bless-
ed of heaven, but for a holier purpose, en-
deavor to bring distant events near, when
we meet for the first time in this renovated
but dear old building, in which our fathers
worshipped, since our present prosperity is
so intimately and indissolubly connected
with God's covenant dealings with those
fathers ?
The expression " years of the right hand
of the Most High" may have reference to
times of special favor, in which he had
wrought wonders for his people ; or, it may
mean, as some interpret it, " the change of
the right hand of the Most High," expres-
sive of trouble, as the hand that had
been displayed for them was now turned
against them. With the latter interpreta-
tion, they are represented, in the midst of
their present trials, as still clinging to God,
and solacing themselves with the sweet re-
collections of his wonders of old. What-
ever rendering is given, the conclusion is
the same ; that God has oft appeared glori-
ously among his people, in deliverance and
revival, the bare remembrance of which
was enough to inspirit his Church when
feeling the loss of his refreshing presence
or groaning under afflictions.
Whatever was the nature and extent of
the favors so munificently bestowed in the
past, we find that they were regarded as
proceeding wholly from the Most High.
This truth underlies all gratitude, praise
and love ; and on no other ground can the
glory of the work be given to Him. God is
a sovereign, — at liberty to act as he pleases
and carry out unrestrained the purposes of
his heart. He has, therefore, a right to ac-
complish those purposes in the way that
shall seem best to him. He may come as
the dew of Israel, silently and gently mov-
ing upon his Church ; or, he may come in
Pentecostal showers, beautifying and en-
larging the moral power of Zion. In both
ways has he displayed his might in the
earth, — as well as in hiding his face from
those who forget his wonders, — teaching
his people that He sits upon the throne,
and giving the assurance that he will ac-
complish the transcendant issues promised
in his word. In these majestic and compas-
sionate movements of the Most High to-
wards our race, he does not act capriciously
but in harmony with his revealed will and
the faithful improvement of the means of
grace — the gifts of his wisdom and love ; —
so that it may be^laid down as a principle
to govern us, that, according to the prepar-
ation of heart and the faithful employment
of means, the Spirit is given. This is clearly
revealed in the Scripture.
Now, coming under the influence of these
truths, verified so oft in our history and ex-
perience as a Church, we can to-day sing of
goodness and mercy, — we can meditate on
his work and talk of his doings; — for God,
mighty to save, has oft appeared in the
midst of us, filling this house with his glory,
and more than once answering the cries of
his awakened and longing people. And to
some of God's wonders among us let me
turn your thoughts.
Scarcely was this region of country sur-
veyed before we find a Church organized.
In 1718, three years after it became the legal
property of the white man, and when there
were but few farms cleared and few dwellings
to be seen, a new Church was formed at
Whippany, called at that time East Han-
over; and a house of worship reared near,

REVIVALS IN THE CHURCH:
BY THE
Rev. David Irving, D. D.,
or on, the spot of land now occupied by the
graveyard. This Church was attended by
the scattered settlers of the township of
Whippany, embracing the territory now in-
cluded in the townships of Morris, Chatham
and Hanover, until the year 1733, when the
people of West Hanover formed a separate
congregation, though not organized into a
Church till 1738 or 9 on account ot strenuous
opposition on the part of the eastern por-
tion of the congregation.
Religion, during this period, was at a low
ebb throughout the whole country. In
New England, one of the Mathers writes,
"The glorious and precious religion ot our
heavenly Christ generally appears with quite
another face, in the lives of Christians of
this day, than what it had in the lives of the
saints, into whose hands it was first deliver-
ed. The modern Christian is but too gener-
ally a very shadow of the ancient." Said
one of our own ministers, of the state of
things in Pennsylvania in 1734 : " True
religion lay as it were a d5nng and ready to
expire its last breath of life. The common
notion seemed to be that if people were
aiming to be in the way of duty as well as
they could, they imagined there was no rea-
son to be much afraid." In our own state
we have this mournful picture : "The love
ot many had waxen cold. The savor of re-
ligion was lost ; family prayer was scarcely
known ; ignorance of divine truth over-
shadowed their minds, while the practices
of many were loose and profane." In view
of such declension, the Synod of Philadel-
phia, which then comprised the whole of
our Church, found it necessary to issue a
series of most solemn admonitions to the
Presbyteries.
130
THE RECORD.
But soon after the organization of this
Church better days dawned upon Zion. The
great awakening, as it has been styled, com-
menced. The earliest manitestaticn of this
extraordinary presence of the divine Spirit
in this country was in our own state, under
the preaching of theTennents, soon follow-
ed by that of Whitefield who traversed our
land with a heart glowing with seraphic
fire for the salvation of the perishing.
Whether our Church, then in its infancy,
received any of the great tidal flow of
special spiritual influences that were per-
meating so many places, we have no
means of knowing, though we find White-
field and others preaching all around us.
Still I can find no trace that he ever preach-
ed in this Church.
In 1742 Timothy Johnes visited the place,
preached several Sabbaths, was invited to
the pastorate, and a few months afterwards
was ordained by New York Presbytery and
duly installed over this people, among whom
he died after a long settlement of nearly fifty-
two years. His ministry was a happy one,
and was abundantly blessed to many souls.
Entering upon his charge in a reviving time,
he ever took the deepest interest in the pros-
perity of Zion, and was often accustomed to
rehearse to his people what was occuring in
other portions of the Church. Still no in-
stance of more than ordinary success is re-
corded of the first twenty years of his
labors. After this his longings were met,
and his heart gladdened, by an unusual turn-
ing of his people to divine realities. For
more than a year there had been no ad-
ditions to the Church. This filled his soul
with sadness; and, as he dwelt upon the un-
mistakable evidences of declension and the
necessity of a closer walk with God, as he ad-
ministered the elements at the sacramental
feast, tears began to flow over many a cheek,
and prayers to arise for an outpouring of the
Spirit. This was graciously answered, and
at the next communion forty-four were ad-
ded to the membership on profession of their
taith ; and, during the year, ninety-four in
all. Opposite to their names in the Session
book I find the following entry : "These the
sweet fruits of the wonderful effusion of
God's adorable grace, began on our sacra-
ment day, July i, 1764." And in a letter af-
terwards pubUshed he says : "The Lord
Jehovah has rent the heavens and come
down and the mountains are fleeing at his
presence. There is something of this bless-
ed work all around me." Again, in 1774, we
find the Church enjoying a special mani-
festation of divine favor, and another re-
cord : "These are the ingathering of the di-
vine harvest ; sweet drops of the morning
dew ;" and, as the result of this awakening,
fifty united themselves with the people of
God.
Influences were at this time working
which, in their developments, were unfav-
orable to the progress of true piety. In-
stead of rejoicing over the spoils of spiritual
conquests, nothing was heard but the con-
fused noise of battle. The struggle of the
colonics for independence, and the forma-
tion of the general government, occupied
the thoughts and efforts of the masses ; and
as a consequence Zion languished. Then
followed the French revolution, preceded
and accompanied by much that was demor-
alizing and atheistic, and whose influence
was greatly felt throughout this country.
But soon rays of light penetrated the
deepening gloom ; here and there a Church
arose from the dust and put on her beauti-
ful garments. Among these was our own,
which in 1790 enjoyed a fresh and cheering
baptism of the Spirit, bringing into her fold
some forty members. This was the last re-
freshing period that the aged pastor was
permitted to see. Whilst Europe was be-
ing deluged with blood, whilst Christendom
was rejoicing in the uprising of a missionary
spirit and in its manifested power among
the heathen, and whilst the first signs of a
moral change appeared, that afterwards
swept from a large portion of the Church
its laxity of doctrine and discipline, the
spirit of the devoted pastor took its flight,
leaving behind him, for that day, a strong
Church which was destined under his suc-
cessors to experience fuller displays of the
riches of sovereign and saving grace.
During the closing years of his life, the
congregation had become so large and the
old Church so crowded, that a new build-
ing was deemed expedient and necessary ;
and, as the result of much prayer, deliber-
ation and effort, the present structure in
which we now worship was reared, which,
says one, " for strength, solidity and sym-

REVIVALS IN THE CHURCH :
BV THE
Rev. David Irving, D. D.,
metry of proportion was not excelled by
any wooden building of that day in New
Jersey." Ere its completion, and without
being permitted to preach in it. the good
old man was gathered to his fathers, after
having been privileged to receive into com-
munion with the Church 424 persons, bap-
tize 2.827, and marry 948 couples.
The first sermon ever preached in this
Church was by Mr. Richards, the successor
of Dr. Johnes, on the last Sabbath* ot Nov.,
1795, and in the following years his arduous
labors were crowned with a rich and lasting
blessing. This came unexpectedly. In his
account of it he says : " None of the Church-
members, that ever I could learn, were
specially stirred up to desire or expect it.
Even those who, from their exemplary
character, might have been expected to be
waiting lor the consolation of Israel, were
manifestly unprepared for this sovereign
act of divine mercy. But, prepared or un-
prepared, the windows of heaven were open-
ed, and the spiritual rain descended; and
one hundred souls were hopefully brought
into the kingdom, as the fruit and effect of
this refreshing."
In 1803, in two of the neighborhoods be-
longing to the congregation, there was
more than the usual interest in the truths
of religion, and which served to draw forth
the prayers and exertions of the Church.
Still conversions were limited almost whol-
ly to these two localities, but during the
year the Church was increased by some
* I'he Parish minutes of t8 Feb., 1796, say that worship be-
gan in the new building on the 20lh Nov., 1793. In that year
the 26th of Nov. fell on Thursday, so that if the note is correct
the first service was probably the weekly lecture. — [Editor.]

THE RECORD.
forty members. Frora the narrative of the
General Assembly, which referred to our
Church along with some others, we learn
that most interesting revivals had been en-
joyed in very many pi)rtions of the Church.
Through a great part of the South and
West, North and North-west, the Spirit of
God was remarkably poured out, and the
whole Church greatly enlarged and en-
couraged.
Again did the Most High come down as
rain upon the mown grass ; again did the
skies pour down righteousness, thereby
communicating more lite to the Church,
and a capacity to the world to receive that
life. The first indications of God's special
power were seen in Newark, in connection
with the sacrament of the Lord's Supper,
which had been preceded by a day of last-
ing and prayer. "The work," says Dr.
Griffin, " exceeds all that I have every seen,
in point ot power and stillness and num-
bers ; between two and three hundred con-
verts." In describing the revived state of
the Church in Newark, Judge Boudinot
says, in a letter to a friend, " It has extend-
ed to Elizabeth-town, Rahway, Springfield,
North and South Hanover, Caldwell and
Bloomfield. Yesterday I was informed that
the same blessed woHc had begun in Mor-
ristown, where about fifty are under con-
viction." Of this movement Dr. Richards
says, " It is deep and effective. To my
latest breath I shall remember how some
of the dear people of God appeared to feel
and agonize in thet» supplications before
the Lord, when imploring his gracious pre-
sence in the midst of us. Between seventy
and eighty were added to tine Church in that
and the subsequent year, who dated their
conversion from thjs interesting period."
The Synod thus alludes to this gracious
outpouring: "The revivals of religion have
been most remarkable within the bounds of
the Presbytery of New York. There the
kingdom of Satan appears to have been
greatly shaken ; coqjkbinations against re-
ligion have been destroyed ; prayer-meet-
ings on the Sabbath, and religious societies
on other days, have been established in
many places and well attended. Many per-
sons grossly immoral in their conduct, and
some distinguished far their zeal in pro-
moting deistical prirogjjples, have been ar-
rested by the influences of the Spirit, and
hopefully converted. During the year past,
within the bounds of the Presbytery, more
than 1,100 have been added to the commu-
nion of the Church ; the greater portion of
whom are young persons."
Whilst thus alluding to these distinctive
years of the right hand of the Most High,
in which the stream of div\ne influences
communicated greater fertilizing power to
the moral waste through which it ran, I
wish in no way to overlook the gentle flow-
ing of the water of life, that noiselessly im-
parted increased activities to the Church,
that slaked the thirst of some wearied
spirit, or removed here and there the fever-
ish desire of the sin-burdened soul. In both
ways has God wrought wonders in Zion ; in
each is his creative agency felt, and in each
has he acted like himself. Scarcely a year
passed by without souls being renovated
and transformed by his sovereign love and
power; and on several communions, besides
the notable cases referred to, there were
large and important accessions to the
Church, revealing to us God's watchful
care and loving remembrance of the vine
under whose branches we have been privi-
leged to sit, and thereby laying us under
the deepest obligations to do everything
for it that will increase its efficiency, beauty,
growth and power. Oft did our lathers
sing, "The Lord hath done great things for
us, whereof we are glad ;" oft did they say
of this sanctuary, " Peace be within thy
walls and prosperity within thy palaces.
Because of the house of the Lord our God
we will seek thy good."
This Church had by such mean6 grown
in strength and moral power, so that we
hear the successor of Dr. Richards saying,
" I have, indeed, a weighty charge ; nearly
as large as that of any two ministers with-
in the bounds of the county." It then cov-
ered a region occupied by 520 families, and
now supplied by eight evangelical Churches.
Dr. Fisher, the third pastor, was installed
in 1809. and during the first year of his min-
istry more than twenty persons were ad-
mitted to Church privileges. In 1813 forty
were received, and about forty the succeed-
ing year; the membership of the Church
being at this time 360.

REVIVALS IN THE CHURCH :
BY THE
Rev. David Irving, D.D.,
tered upon the pastoral office, which he fill-
ed for more than nine years ; being biased
in his work aftd proving a blessing to
others. In the year following his settle-
ment his own heart was gladdened, the
graces of the people strengthened, and the
number of the saqrarriental host of God's
elect increased by an addition of fifty to thfe
Church ; some of whom remain to this day,
though the greater number have fallen
asleep. From this period to 1822 there
were yearly accessions to this Zion ranging
from seven to thirteen ; then the MiS'st
High made bare his arm for the deliverance
of his chos«n from the dominion of Satan.
This was the most extensive revival with
which the congregation: had ever been
visited ; and yet, after the most diligent
search and inquiry, I can find no prepared
account of this special outpouring, and but
little from living witnesses who c?in only
recall the general impression made on
them.
Previous to the spring of 1822, there were
no hopeful signs of God's reviving power.
But then, on a pastoral visit to a family of
his charge in Littleton, Dr. McDowell found
great tenderness and weeping on the part
of its inmates, preceded, as he soon discov-
ered, by great wrestling with God on the
pait of the parents in the night watches,
for God's blessing on Zion. And here it is
an interesting fact, that the parents of the
head of this house were brought to Christ
through the instrumentality of the first pas-
tor of this Church ; the father caring for
none of these things, and the mother at-
tached to the Society of Friends; the hus^

band was first converted and then the
mother publicly confessed her faith in
Christ in the old Church. The son never
forgot the kindness and efforts of Dr.
Johnes ; he was brought to Christ under
the ministry of Dr. Johnes' successor, and
he was now permitted to see the Spirit
striving with his own children, and to re-
joice in it as the commencement of a re-
markable work of grace. Among the fruits
was a son who is now laboring as a mis-
sionary in the West. Of his family and des-
cendants there are sixteen now in connec-
tion with this Church alone.
The much desired inquiry, What must 1
do to be saved.' intensified the longings of
the pastor and of the people of God. Means
of grace were multiplied ; neighboring pas-
tors were called in, to proclaim saving truth
and direct the anxious to the Lamb of God.
Many impenitents were arrested by the
gospel and awakened to concern for their
souls. The drunkard was reclaimed, and is
to-day a trophy of redeeming love. The
profane saw new power in the names of God
and of Christ. The worldling let go his
hold upon earth, and, with streaming eyes
and warm heart, rejoiced in heavenly rich-
es. The careless professor was quickened ;
the yearning spirit felt a nearness to God
never before experienced ; estrangements
were healed; past misconduct mourned
over-; and heaven was brought nearer to
many souls. As a result of this gracious
outpouring, there was an ingathering into
Zion of nearly one hundred and fifty. As-
sociated with this, we find, from the Gen-
eral Assembly's narrative, that the sur-
rounding Churches shared largely in the
work ; Hanover, Rockaway, Chatham,
Baskingridge, and Hackettstown.
Soon after this, partly on account of im-
paired health, Mr. McDowell resigned his
charge, and in due time was succeeded by
Mr. Barnes, who was frequently cheered
and incited to diligence by finding that his
labors were not in vain in the Lord. He
had much to contend with ; but firm, de-
cided and resolute, he went forward in his
work, dealing with sin in its varied forms,
and showing its opposedness to God, wheth-
er committed by the believer or the unbe-
liever. During the winter of 1827 and
the •pring and summer of 1828, Mr. Barnes
delivered a series of sermons on the great
doctrines of the cross and the character of
the Redeemer. The only marked effect of
these discourses was, at first, an increased
attention on the means of grace, a deepen-
ed interest in preaching, and a manifested
seriousness among the people. This con-
tinued for some time, without anything
more than the ordinary means of grace, un-
til the quarterly meeting of the Church pre-
vious ko the communion. Of this meeting
says Mr. Barnes, in a letter to myself, " Per-
sonally I had feelings which I had never
had before, and which I have never exper-
ienced since. I went to the meeting with
no unusual emotions, and with no expecta-
tion of any special interest; but there was
something about it which wholly overcame
me. I spent a considerable part of the meet-
ing in tears, and my emotions were shared by
a considerable part of the congregation pre-
sent, and all felt there was the presence of a
higher power." A prayer was offered at
that meeting by a member of this Church.
(Mr. Enslee, an elder,) that "came nearer to
inspiration,^' says the pastor, " than any-
thing that I ever heard from human lips ;
so fervent, so tender, so full of faith, so de-
voted, so much of the Spirit; which I then
thought must belong to heaven, and never
since have I heard such a prayer."
This meeting was the manifestation of the
beginning of the revival. Soon the whole
community was affected ; town and country
were alike awakened, and all bent upon one
common object, — to give heed to the inter-
ests of eternity. To meet this state of feeling
an increased number of religious services was
deemed advisable. These were mostly con-
ducted by the pastor, assisted by a neigh-
boring minister or by the eldership of the
Church. For a period of three months
there were services of some kind nearly
every evening, in which no other measures
than the simple presentation of the truth
were employed. So widespread and general
was the feeling, that the farmer left his
farm and the merchant his store, to attend
upon the services of the sanctuary ; and,
when the hour for evening service arrived,
nearly all, if not every, store was closed.
The meetings were first held in the Lecture-
room ; but this soon became too strait for

REVIVALS IN THE CHURCH:
BY THE
Rev. David Irving, D. D.
the number attending, and they were re-
moved to the Church. The number of anx-
ious ones amounted frequently to three or
four hundred, occupying nearly the whole
of the central block pf pews in the body of
the church. The work was characterized
by a long previous preparation, and by an
earnest presentation of the truth pertaining
to the work of the Redeemer. And yet it
was sovereign on the part of God, for the
same sermons delivered here were after-
wards preached to another congregation
without producing the least visible effect.
There was little opposition to the work :
all men felt that it was the power of God,
and those who were not professors were
deeply interested for others. All persons
and classes in the community were affected ;
the most wealthy and respectable of the
congregation were the subjects of the work,
the old man of eighty rejoiced in a new
found Saviour, while the youth in his bud-
ding years consecrated himself to God. The
irreligious, the Sabbath-breaker, and the
infidel bowed alike before the same mercy-
seat and sang the Same song of praise, "O,
to grace how great a debtor."
As a fruit of that astonishing display of
divine love, over two hundred united at suc-
cessive times with this Church, and a num-
ber with the Methodist Church, then in its
infancy. And from this and the preceding
work has been derived, for a long series of
years, the strength of this Church
in piety, liberality, and a maintenance of
religious ordinances ; and not a little of the
good order, sound morality, and religious
power in this community is owing to these
extraordinary displays of Jehovah's mercy.
" In Morristown," says a magazine of that
day, " the work of grace is spreading rapid-
ly from family to family." Says the New
York Observer: "At Morristown God is
doing great things. The town seems to be
the radiating point from which the Spirit
seems to be extending its divine influence
in various directions. He has graciously
visited Chester and Flanders." To which
the General Assembly, in its notice of the
work, adds : " In Morristown, a spot often
visited by the outpouring of the Spirit,
there has been a display of divine grace,
more powerful and more wonderful than has
ever before been known in that place. It
commenced in November last and rapidly
increased, until the whole town seemed to
be shaken ; almost the entire population
appeared bowed in the dust before the ma-
jesty of Jehovah. Opposition was hushed
and every one seemed to say and feel, 'Truly
this is the finger of God.'
In this allusion to by gone scenes, I have
touched chords, no doubt, in many hearts ;
brought before vour minds vividly the past,
when, in the presence of a thronged and in-
terested Church and in the hearing of the
blessed Saviour, you gave yourselves away
142
THE RECORD.
in a convenant never to be revoked, to be
willing servants forever ;— when in this
house you sat down at the Master's table
for the first time, and in all the glow of first
love vowed to be only and wholly the
Lord's And have you ever regretted it, as
vou have oft sung, "Jesus, thy feast we cele-
brate." or "Why was I made to hear thy
voice?" and "Enter while there's room."
■'When thousands make a wretched choice.
And rather starve than come."
In view ot God's constraining mercy and
electing love ; in view of the hallowed com-
munions here enjoyed with heaven ; in view
of the spiritual strength received ; in view
of the good accomplished to your families
and the community by this noble structure,
reared with such munificence by your
fathers, who were at the time impoverished
by a long war ; and in view of the sainted
dead your children, your parents and dear-
est friends, gathered into the heavenly home
through the instrumentality and ordinances
of this Church : will you murmur at the im-
provements placed by your liberality and
that of others on this building, which has
been consecrated so oft by the presence
and the glory of the Lord of Hosts ; or say
that the feeling which animated the men
who had it in charge was at war with the
spirit of those who reared it ; or complain
of the sums given to beautify the temple ot
the Most High ?
I should love to bring before you other
doings of the Lord in these latter days,
when under Mr. Hoover's ministry, Morns
Plain's and part of the town were moved,
and several before me rejoiced in the loving-
kindness and in the smiles of a sin-for-giv-
ing God ; or of the precious mercy-drops
that descended during the pastorate of
Dumont; or of the cheering fruits that ac-
companied the earnest and devoted efforts
of the now sainted Townley ; but time will
not permit. Suffice it to say, that there are
but few Churches in our land that have a
more glorious past; few that can speak
oftener of the years of the right hand of the
Most High ; but few that have a stronger
warrant to cry ; "Drop down, ye heavens.
from above, and let the skies pour down
righteousness ;" and perhaps but few have
more need to pray. "O Lord revive thy
work."
Since the first pastor was installed, when
the Church numbered 176, there have been
added : under Dr. Johnes 424. Dr. Richards
243. Dr. Fisher 97. Dr. McDowell 302, Mr.
Barnes 303, Mr. Hoover 109, Mr. Kirtland
103, Mr. Dumont in. Mr. Thompson 31,
Mr.' Richards 59, Mr. Townley 85, and under
the present pastorate to this date, 171 ;
making nearly 2,000 admitted to Church
privileges, and mostly from the kingdom of
Satan; over 1,500 since the congregation
commenced worshipping in this house.*
Johnes' record which he entitled, "The Number and names of
the Persons that were in full communion when the Church
was first collected & founded, together with the number that
came since from other churches." Neither marks nor dates
are given to distinguish between the original members and
those who were received from other Churches ; but it is
evident, both from this title and from the fifty years of Dr.
Johnes' pastorate, that the original members constitute but a
small part of this list. From other records, however, there is
derived a strong probability that the roll of communicants con-
tained between 52 and 55 names when the pastorate of Dr.
Johnes began. For instance, the 52d name on this list is that
of ■'Martha, wife of Cornelius Austm :" and as Cornelius Aus-
tin was one of the 21 who made "Publick Confession at the
settlement of the Ch." for abandoning Hanover in disregard
of "the lot," it is almost certain that his wife was a communi-
cant in 1742. On the other hand, the name of "Elizabeth, wife
of David More," is the 56th on the list : but, in the Marriage
Register, it is recorded that "David More and Elizabeth
Roff" (or Buff?) were married by Dr. JohneK on the 13th of
April, 1743 ; it seems conclusive that she would appear under
her maiden name on the list of members if she had been a com-
municant on Dr. Johnes' arrival in 1742. Other records confirm
the conclusion that there were about 55 communicants enrolled
at the end of 1742, but there is no need of reciting them.
We append a table, recently compiled with much care, to
show the additions during each pastorate and vacancy for T40
years of the Church's history. Two items need explanation.
The number of adults baptised by Mr. McDowell is evi-
dently inaccurate ; he left no record of Baptisms, except for
the first year or two that he was here. Again, Dr. Irving
should be credited with the additions in the Vacancy that fol-
lowed his pastorate, since he resided here and conducted the
services at the time ; which would make his work the most
fruitful, after that of Dr. Johnes; that is, 27 Adults Baptised,
178 Confirmed (or 205 on Examination,) and 161 by Certificate,
— a total of 366.
The significance of the columns is as follows :
A. B. shows the number of Adults Baptized.
C. " '■ " " " received to communion who
were Baptized in infancy.
L. shows number of those received by Certificates from other
Churches.
T. C. shows total number added to the roll of communicants.

THE ROLL.
It is scarcely to be hoped that this Roll is
free from errors of omission and commission,
altho much pains has been taken by the
Session in order to make it as complete as
possible. Grateful acknowledgment is made
to the Rev. Dr. Green for the prodigious
labor he gave, while pastor, in preparing
the list of Communicants upon which the
present Roll is based. So far as known
at end of volume IV.]
146
THE RECORD.
there has not been a publication of the
Hving membership till now, since the Man-
ual issued by Mr. Barnes in 1828. It is
hoped that the present publication will pro-
voke corrections, and so help to make the
Roll complete.
As to Communica7its the aim has been to
present the names ol all received from 1841
to the present time, who are not accounted
for by dismission, death, or excommunica-
tion ; together with those received before
1841 so far as they are known to be still
living.
As to Baptized members, \.\\Q Roll contains
the names ot all under the age ot twenty-one,
who appear upon the Register; the Christian
names alone being printed in italics, and
these indened, or set back from the margin,
under those of their parents. It is the right
of parents, received by letter, to have the
names of tneir Baptized children put upon
the Roll along with their own ; since Pres-
byterianism holds that the family, and not
the individual, is the unit of the Church.
// will be esteemed a great favor if any one
will send CORRECTIONS, OR INFORMATION,
especially co7icerning na7nes upon the Re-
served hlST and those marked "VNK'HOWN"
among the absentees, to Lock Box 90, Morris-
town, N. J.

RESERVED LIST.
The General Assembly of 1872 recom-
mended "each church to record, on a
separate list, the names of those who
have been absent for more than two
years from their church relations, and
whose residence is unknown ; and
names thus recorded may be omitted
in the statistical returns of the church."
In case the Revised Book of Discipline
shall be adopted by the Presbyteries
this year, the following rule will be in
force after June ist: "If a communi-
cant, not chargeable with immoral con-
duct, removes out of the bounds of his
Church, without asking for or receiv-
ing a regular certificate of dismission
to another Church, and his residence is
known, the Session may, within two
years, advise him to apply for such
certificate ; and, if he fails so to do,
without giving sufficient reason, his
name may be placed on the roll of sus-
pended members, until he shall satisfy
the Session of the propriety of his re-
storation. But, if the Session has no
knowledge of him for the space of
three yeais, it may erase his name
from the roll of communicants, making
record of its action and the reasons
therefor. In either case, the member
shall be subject to the jurisdiction of
the Session. A separate roll of all such
names shall be kept, stating the rela-
tions of e-ach to the Church."

we justly do less than we have done for a
building fragrant with covenant blessings,
and to which are attached some of the ten-
derest associations. All that has been done
was demanded by the taste of the times,
and it is in harmony with the true grandeur
and dignity of public worship. The first
Church that was erected stood over fifty
years, and in that time was enlarged. The
present Church was completed 64 years ago
and was repaired and altered, in the manner
known to us all, some 19 years ago. But
for some time the Church showed signs of

THE RECORD.
I am authorized to announce that no debt
remains to disturb our devotions, to par-
alyze our efforts in behalf of a perishing
world, or to restrain the outgoings of love
to the Best of all beings. And, whilst we
regard the past as a pledge of your readi-
ness to do what is required, to maintain the
ordinances of the Church ; let me tell you,
for your encouragement, that no man will
be haunted with terror, and troubled on his
dying bed, for the sums contributed for the
support of religious institutions.
And here let me thank those who, with-
out my solicitation, have reared and fur-
nished this beautiful pulpit; and those
young men who by their own efforts have
placed on it this massive and elegant Bible
and hymn book,— may its truths find a lodge-
ment in your souls, form principles that
shall render your lives full of usefulness
and happiness, gild your whole future, and
introduce you at last into the presence of
that Saviour, who gave himself and his
word to save, illumine, and purify sinners
like you, that being taught of Jesus here
and hymning his praises, we may blend our
voices in the sweetest harmony, in that
temple not made with hands, singing the
song of Moses and the Lamb.
The whole interior has been changed.
We see it in a new dress,— alike comforta-
ble without distinction to every worshipper,
and yet it is the same dear old building
still. " May the glory of the latter house
be greater than the former." That glory
has been shadowed forth to-day. It was
not in any outward splendor, or any archi-
tectural display; but in the wonderous
manifestation of Jehovah's converting and
sanctifying power. Its glory has been, that
in refreshing times every pew has been fill-
ed with a listening and interested audience ;
and at other times the thoughtless have
been awakened, and brought to the cross.
Its glory has been, that in the past it has
done more than everything else to mould
public opinion, and to create a healthy
moral tone in the community. Its glory
has been to send forth her sons and daugh-
ters through the length and breadth of our
land, to enrich and influence other places
by the truths here inculcated and received.
And its glory has been to stand up for Je-
sus, and to give due attention to the bene-
volent movements that are blessing our
earth.
And, in closing, let me remind you that
something more is wanting than a stately
building and the impulsive utterances of
admiration. All that is now seen and priz-
ed will in no way render our services ac-
ceptable, fill this Church with the presence
of Jesus, and you with the graces of his
Spirit, unless the glory of the Lord irradi-
ates it ; its lofty spire, its decorated ceiling^
and the varied displays of comfort and
taste, will all be in vain. God must be here ;
the Saviour must be here ; the Holy Ghost
must be here, to make it the gate of heaven.
Here oft repair ; here be regularly found as
devout worshippers, and with hearts glow- ,
ing with love rejoice in purchased blessings.
And now, standing as a link between the
past and the future, with the memories of
other days crowding on us, with the rich
legacy bequeathed by our fathers, and com-
ing under the influence and prestige of
scenes the most hallowed, and with hearts
swelling with gratitude and praise, let us
now make an offering of all that has been
done and given to Jehovah Jesus, asking
him to cause his face to shine upon us and
to be gracious to us ; asking him to give us
more of his Spirit, that we may oft sit with
him in heavenly places, reflect in holy de-
portment the beauty of his holiness, the
constraining power of his love and the
transforming energy of his truth ; that the
Spirit of Pentecost may sway and melt many
future assemblies, and that through these
aisles the loud triumph of Messiah's mighty
conquests may be chanted in increasing vol-
umes.
Whilst appreciating the solemnity of the
occasion, let us now renew our prayers
that God would fill this house with new and
brighter glories, that it may be the birth-
place of new born souls, and that from it
an increasing moral power may go forth to
make glad the city of our God ; so that when
the house shall have disappeared, and time
shall have consumed the labors of our
hands, we shall be found in the heavenly
sanctuary, forever adoring the hand that
formed it, the grace that led us to it, and
the Saviour who is the light and glory of it.
Amen and amen.

THE RECORD
Is published monthly ; terms $i.oo a ye.ir, /;/ advance.
Single numbers for any month, lo cents each.
Subscriptions should be made to Mr. James R. Voorhees.
Matters pertaining to the publication should be addressed
to the
Editor of The Record.
Entered at the Post Office at Morrislown, N. J., as second
class matter.
The regular edition for subscribers this
month contains twentj'^ pages instead of
twelve.
This part of The Record will hereafter ,
be distributed in the pews of the Church j
on the Sunday after publication.
It is not designed, however, to force the
publication upon the attention of any, or
to make it exactly free. If not wanted, the
paper can be left in the pew; if wanted,
take it, and welcome to it.
NEW HISTORICAL PAPERS.
In response to a large number of requests.
we begin in this number the publication of
the sermon delivered last spring by the
Pastor.
Dr. Irving, in his historical sermons,
which have been published in The Record,
touched but lightly upon the period from
1842 down to his own pastorate ; while from
the beginning of the latter period no ac-
count has ever been published, or even
written so far as is known. We are, there-
lore, happy to say that a gentleman, who
has been an active member of the Church
throughout these periods, promises a his-
torical paper to bring the narrative down
to 1882. The publication of this paper will
probably begin some time during the sun>-
mer.
Subscribers will continue to receive their
copies through the mail. New subscribers
will be gladly enrolled. From the first, the
subscriptions have never paid the cost of
publication, and the deficit has been made
up by a few who appreciated The Record
as a means of preserving the valuable his-
torical materials of our Church.
In this part of The Record it is now
proposed to publish some matters of present
moment. A beginning is made this month
on the last two pages. Besides recording
items of passing interest, the various de-
partments of Christian work will be given
an opportunity to make known their aims
and needs ; and subjects of importance can
be brought to the attention of the Congre-
gation in this way. which could not well be
published in any other.
EXTRA SUPPLEMENT.
In addition to the regular supplement,
containing the Minutes of Session, Parish
and Trustees, for the close of Dr. Irving'*
and the beginning of Mr. f'rench's pasto-
rates ; we issue with this number eight
pages of the Combined Registers. The
succeeding parts of the Combined Regis-
ters will be issued during the year, in the
form here presented, the pages being
numbered continuously; so that the parts
may be bound in a volume by themselves, of
with the Minutes. Although this puts extra
expense upon the few who are interested
in publishing these records — since the sub-
scriptions fall considerably short of paying
the cost of publication — it is adopted in
order to make the valuable historical ma-
terial more convenient for permanent pre-
servation in book form. There will be a
delay of three or four months before the
issue of the next part of the Combined
Registers.

: Cor. xii.: 5.-
t le same Lord.''
'Therar diferences of administration, but
The year of the Presbyterian Church
:hru-out the land closed with March.
.')ur own Palish year came to an end only
a few weeks ago. Last Sunday's was the
■fchird April communion in this Church at
which I have officiated with a pastoral in-
terest. Valuabl lessons miht be drawn
from the twelv months thru which we hav
just cum. Their course has bin impressiv-
ly markt by the Lord's diversities of minis-
trations. In worship and in charities, in
activ labors and in patient endurance, in
gladnes and in grief, in sweet surprises and
■in bitter disapointments, in songs over
the repentant and tears over the bakslider,
in helth and in siknes, in life and in deth ;
— in all our varied experiences the same
Lord, our wise and loving Father in hevn,
i^as souht to make us worthy of the blesed-
■nes to which another year brings his disci-
-r»is nearer.
But why recall these experiences now .'
They ar yet fresh in memory ; and too ten-
der, perhaps, with joy or soro for public re-
cital. We may well leav them in silence,
til they bring forth, in good time, the fruits
of chastend hope and consecrated endevor :
v/hile we spend this anniversary hour in
noting sum of the contrasts between the
old and the present life of our Church. A
contrast of this sort wel illustrates our text,
since it givs one, in a particular and famil-
iar exampl, a vivid conception of the difcr-
ences of administration thru which the
same Lord imparts those divine impulses
that make for ritiusnes in sinful humanity.
During the year I hav becum much inter-
ested in The Record of our Church; the
litl pamflet that is hardly appreciated
acording to its valu, in which ther ar pub-
'::sht,once a month, original papers of his-
torical importance, extracts from the Min-
utes of the Session, of the Parish, and of
•The spelling; foUowK the rules of the Spelling Reform Asso-
iiation, wliich ar advocated by scolarx like W. D. WhitncN' of
VaJe, and Max Muller of Oxford .
the Trustees, with long lists of names from
the Registers of Baptisms, Comunicants.
Marriages, and Deths. No dout this publi-
cation offers very dry reading, except to
those who ar curious about odities in spel-
ling and others who seek the names of an-
cestors. But to me it is a cool and crystal
spring of history, which clearly reflects the
scenes witnest by these walls in the oldn
time ; the rinkis of htufter, of soro and of
age, that crost the faces of those who ust to
sit in these pews long ago ; their quaint
costumes and their customs, now almost
forgotn. As I hav red The Record from
month to month, altho neither engraving
nor wood-cut has enlivend its pages, it has
seemd full of pictures. And perhaps the
diferences of administration, which have
foloed one another in the history of this
Church, can be set forth most plainly and
from the tru historic point of view, if I at-
temt a ruf description, — what miht be cald
a charcoal sketch, — of a Sunday in the oldn
time. I do not mean a particular day of a
particular year, but a typical day ; for then
slight anachronisms wil only giv our view
a broader range without impairing its accu-
racy. Let us chooz a typical Sunday in
the midi age of the Church, that is in the
period between 1800 and 1S25, for then we
shal hav contrasts to note on both sides.
It is " a tedious day," the frozn ground
and leafles trees swept by angry gusts of
a piercing wind ; a patch of snow only here
and there in sum shelterd spot. The old
bel, — not queen Anne's but king George II's
gift, as tradition goes, — rings out its high,
sharp, impatient call for the pepl to wor-
ship in the new Presbyterian Meeting
house. The hand of William Cherry is not
upon the rope this morning, for that hand
has grown feebl with age, in the twenty
years it has bin ringing the bel; digging
graves, at from five shillings to a dollar
each; and compiling his Bill of Mortality, in
which he aimd to bestow as impartial im-
mortality upon the child of poverty, that
livd but an hour, as upon the patriarch who
died amid honors and welth and widest af-
fection. His son Moses pulls the rope to-
day, having begun his long career as Sex-
ton at the age of seventeen.
While the pepl gather we wil look about
the town, to note the growth of half a cen-
THE RECORD.

"tury. And first, try to imagin the original
-setlment. A bilding down Water street is
associated with those oldest times and wil
help to recall the past. It is now a distil-
lery of apl whisky, but once it formd part
of the first Meeting house. When that was
put up by ardent piety, in 1740, amid the
hardships of the new setlment, it stood a
litl east and north of the present Church;* a
low, square structure with shingld sides, to
which later elegance aded a steepl that re-
maind in the graveyard, doing duty as a
-scool-house, several years after the main
bilding had bin removed. Water street, or
rather a cuntry road running up a natural
•'gully," was the only approach to the
Meeting house for more than a generation ;
and no bilding was in siht on the south,
the primitiv forest cuming almost to the
'door. That old sanctuary, standing on the
edge of the hil and looking down upon the
river bank, saw a gradual and prosperous
chanj during the fifty years of Dr. Johnes'
pastorate; the three or four dwelings, an
iron forj, a cuntry store, expand into a vil-
lage of 250 inhabitants at the date of the
Revolution. In that hard winter of 1777 &
8, when the pews wer beds for the small-
ipox patients from the Continental camp, the
congregation gatherd under the shelter of
the hil in Dr. Johnes" orchard. t It was at
one of these services that Gen. Washing-
ton partook of the communion for the only
recorded time in his official life ; and there,
on another day, he gave up his own camp-
chair to a poor woman, who was trying to
hear the sermon while she stood with a
babe in her arms .

Why will people choose seats on the
west wall of the Chapel } As respects
both hearing and light the seats are better
in any other part of the room.
Some one suggests that we all sing fre-
quently at our homes from the new Spiritual
Songs for Social Worship, saying that many
very beautiful hymns and tunes are thus
feund. The book may be obtained thru
Mr. H. G. Emmell.
One of the Divisions of the Children's
Missionary Societj' has been very active
during the past month. The special inter-
est is connected with the Gould Home in
Rome, Italy. Is this your Division } If
not, do you propose to let another excell
you in good works .-'
Two new Bible Classes have recently
been formed in the Sunday-school ; with
Mr. Hastings and Prof. Piatt as their re-
spective teachers. These classes are for
ladies. They are not yet full. Did you not
say, and not very long ago, that you wished
there was a class which you might join, be-
cause, for one reason or another, you could
not be a teacher just now? Suppose you
join one of these new classes; it may be
just what you were wishing for.
The Young Ladies' Missionary Society —
Oh ! dear, what a long name ! — wouW not
have made a very long procession, if the
regular attendants on Friday afternoons
during December, had marched around the
Green at ihe end of their hour of meeting.

THE RECORD.
But it is different now. They took a new-
departure the other Sunday, and followed
it up on the following Friday with a room-
fuU. A good many new members are as
eager as the former ones to lend a hand in
doing something for the waifs of a mission
school in New York City. Perhaps they
will have to turn to the Primary room to
find a place big enough for the many busy
fingers that sew together on Friday after-
noons. Even that would not be big enough,
if every young lady in the Congregation
would deny herself one entrance to the
Rink a week, and bring the price, with
ready fingers to work, for the needy.
Work on the Parsonage is nearing the
end; the plastering will be done before the
close of the month. It has been proposed
to hold a general reception in the house as
soon as it is completed, so that all the Con-
gregation may inspect it. But why not
call it the Manse, which is a good Presby-
terian name, and would distinguish it from
the Methodist Parsonage as well as from
the Episcopal Rectory.
A Seal was agreed upon by the Trustees
of our Church, on the 24th of April, i788,
"the device & impression of which is a
Sheaf of Wheat," according to the Minutes
meeting of the first Board of Trustees elect-
ed by the Congregation, when they "as-
sumed the name of THE TRUSTEES OF
THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
AT MORRISTOWN." Previously, under
the Charter granted by George II, Sept.,
8th, 1756, vacancies in the Board were filled
by the appointment of " the Minister or
Ministers, Elders, and Deacons for the time
being." Apparently this original seal was
never made, or at least became lost and for-
gotten before the sons of those who adopt-
ed it came into the active work of the
Church ; for in 1846, Nov. t4th, the Seal in
present use was adopted. This is very
commonplace, having the word " SEAL" in
plain letters across the face, and the follow-
ing around the margin, " 1st PRES. CH.
WOMEN'S FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The new year has already shown a good
deal of very commendable energy in the
work and the giving for missions among
the women of heathen lands. At the pop-
ular meeting, held at Miss Dana's on Mon-
da)' afternoon, Jan. 19th, the large room
was nearly filled by the ladies of the Church.
Dr. Ellinwood, one of the Secretaries of our
Board of Foreign Missions, presented the
scriptural grounds for the work in an ex-
ceedingly impressive and persuasive state-
ment ; and then took his hearers upon an
imaginary journey around the world, to see
the work for women, its needs and its re-
sults, as he had seen it in the schools and
missions in Japan, in China, in Ind4a, in
Syria, in Africa, and in Chili.
After the address, the ladies present were*
asked to pledge themselves to give what
thej' could for this special work, and re-
sponded generousl)' ; many of them large-
ly increasing their offerings over the
amounts given in previous years.
It was also decided to hold monthly meet-
ings of a popular character. At some of
these meetings speakers from abroad will
be present, and at others papers upon differ-
ent fields and different phases of the work
of that date. This was chosen at the first, will be read by ladies of our Church. The
first of these popular gatherings will be
held in the Chapel on Monday afternoon,
Feb. 9th, when papers will be read upon
the new world opened in Africa by the re-
cent discoveries of Livingstone and Stan-
ley, and the providential opportunities
there for our prayers and our gifts, to send
the Light of the Gospel into that Dark
Continent.
The managers of the Zenana Society are
talking of abandoning their organization, in
order to put their energies into this popular
form of the work. The desire of all seems
to be to effect two things principally; To car-
ry on the work in a way that is most likely
to inform and interest the largest number
in the Congregation, so that each will see
and feel that she has a part in it; and. To
MT. N. J." There is a rumor that the Com- j rely for gifts upon the free-will offerings of
mittee talk of having the original Seal of j all who feel that it is a privilege and a joy
the Church appear in a prominent part of j to ^ive what they can, to send the message

The Supplement for this month contains
the Minutes of the Session, during the pas-
torate of Mr. French, from 3d Aug., 1870. to
3d March, 1875.
Last month the types gave a wrong date
for the preaching of the historical sermon.
It was not preached in 1825, but in 1884.
The Preacher may be taken for the father
of one of the Elders, but hardly for his
grandfather.
The extra Supplement, issued to sub-
scribers last month, has a title page, which
reads as follows: "History of the First
Presbyterian Church, Morristown, N. J.
Part II.. The Combined Registers, From
1742 to 1885." This title page, and the new
numbering of the pages, will allow the
"Combined Registers" to be bound by it-
self, or with "The Minutes." A complete
history of the Church should contain three
parts : Part I, The Minutes of the Session,
Trustees and Parish. The printing of this
part is nearly completed. Part II, The
Combined Registers, containing all the
names on the books of the Church, with all
the facts of record concerning each, arrang-
ed in alphabetical order. The printing of
this part has just begun. Part III, The
Historical Sermons of Dr. Irving, and such
other papers as can be gathered. Whether
the work shall reach this complete form,,
depends on the interest taken by the friends
of the Church in providing means, in sub-
scriptions and contributions, to meet the
cost of publication.

Historical Sermon by the Pastor,
Preached 13TH April 1884.
{Continued.)
When the new Meeting house was pro-
posed it met with strong opposition, under
the lead of elders Phillips andCondict; the
Dr. Johnes urgd the project, and preacht a
special sermon in its favor one Friday after-
noon in Dec, 1789. That sermon must hav
bin a rousing one. for imediatly after the
benediction the pepl appointed Joseph.
Lewis,— the Dr.'s son-in-law — with Moses
Estey, and Daniel Phoenix, Jr., a comitee to
bild the new house. But discussion delayed,
the undertaking, so that it was a year later
i before material began to be gatherd, and
'not til Sept., 1791, did the frame rise on the
present foundations. The first service was
held in the new house while it was still in-
complete ; a weekly lecture, on the last
Thursday of Nov., 1795.
Before examing the new Meeting house,
note* sum of the great improvements that
hav takn place within the sixty years and
more since the old one rose on the edge of
the forest. At the date of our visit, the
stores and mils and shops, stil cling to the
river bank, and only there ar the dyvelings
clusterd together. Among them rises the
spacious new hotel, a striking evidence of
enterprise; tor it has justbin bilt, "in sixty
days from the stump," imediatly after
the fire which destroyd the old tavern : [and
tho bilt so hastily, it stands to our day — the
yellow bilding opposit the gas-works.] Al-

soon to becum Bridge street. But now,
near the corner of Water, it passes between
two houses that stand so close together as
to be almost grazed by any wagon going
thru. Ther is talk, however, of widening,
and, in the course of time, of throwing a
bridge over the stream beyond. In con-
fidence of this improvement, Abraham T.
Schenck has just erected, half way to the
brook, on the south side and overlooking
his brik mil, a duble mansion, one of the
most elegant in town. Just bej'^ond is Mrs.
Edwards' bakery where sum folks get their
lunch between meetings ; one of the Dea-
cons being always on hand, to see that the
poor ar provided with cake and ale at the
expense of the Church. Nearer at hand, the
Baptist Church, on its present site, not yet
«nlarjd, its doors ofn shut for lak of a
preacher, is still, in 1825, the only other
Church in town, or for more than ten miles
around. On the Green — which has hardly
yet ernd this litl, for it is now a treeles and
grassles comons, with wagon ruts.runing
from opposit corners, — in the angi near the
Baptist Church stands the Court-house.
As it was hilt in 1770, the shingls that cover
its cupola and sides as wel as its roof, tho
once glaring with red paint, ar now a dingy
gray, and the bilding is fc^lorn with neg-
lect. A few dwelings ar scaterd around the
comons. Off to the left can be seen the
Academy, on land bought in 1792 from this
Parish for £10. Jersey money, equivalent to
-only ^15. sterling. The long radius from
the Meeting house to the Academy would
.make a circl inclosing nearly the hole town
and its population of about 1,000. Beyond
this circl, in all directions, ar farm and wood
Sands.
Now take several positions at a litl dis-
tance, and look more particularly at the
new Meeting house. It has bin finisht,
painted, and otherwise beutifieil, only a few
years. Observ its fine proportions which
modestly hide its larj size; its steepl rising
173 feet into the air; and the clok, with its
three faces. Ther ar not six other Meet-
jn houses in the hole State as larj and
grand and perfectly appointed as this. The
ball that crowns the spire looks like a Con-
necticut pumpkin, as if a symbol of the
New England origin of the community;
and old William Cherry points out to us a
hole in this ball, which sum vandal made by
a rifl bullet before the spire had bin up six
weeks.
The Meeting house and graveyard ar in-
closed by a neat piket fence, with a rail on
the outside where horses may be fasnd.
As many as sixty teams hav alredy arived,
bringing the wimen folks and children, for
the men who do not cum on horseback ar
acustomd to walk. Most of the wagons
ar plain boxes, without springs; and a
bundl of straw on a board makes a good
ennf seat. The larjer part of the congrega-
tion cum a long distance, sum of them six
and eight miles. New Vernon and Green
Village send forty or fifty families ; Prud-
den-town and Washington Valley, each as
many more. Those that come from Wash-
ton Valley turn off thru Mills street
and approach the Meeting house thru
Spring and Water streets, as the Court-house
hil of a later day, and the brook in Bridge
street, hav not yet bin crost by good road
or bridge. The largest number cum from
Watnung or Morris Plains and Littleton,
the latter being a prosperous and populous
village on the direct stage line to the west.
The arrival of an ox-cart, tho not an un-
usual siht, made "quite sum" sport for
the young folks this morning. For its
owner, who always oblijd his wife to walk
the four miles to meeting, took her at her
word to-day, when she begd to ride, "even
like a load of stone in the ox-cart ;" and on
reaching the Meeting house gate, before
she knew what he was about, he tilted the
cart and dumpt her to the ground.*

The friends of Mr. William B. Hopkins, a

of January, at the early age of twenty-two.
Parish Meeting on March i/lh, will fall
a week later than usual, in accordance with
a resolution adopted last year. There
should always be a good attendance ; but
this year it may not be necessary to urge
it, since many will be interested to hear the
report of the Building Committee.
Judging from the remarks that have been
heard, their number and favorable tone,
there seems to be a pretty general opinion
that our suggestion of last month to call
the new building the Manse was a good
one. If the inference is correct, it would
be well to have the name regularly adopted
at the Parish meeting.
The exercises of the Literary and Social
Union last month were very entertaining.
Whoever suggested the novel device to
mystify the audience is a genius. And the
device gave us the privilege of hearing
several who have not heretofore appeared
on the programs of the Union. It is to be
hoped that this new talent, and more of the
same good sort, will not hide in shadows
any longer. Those who realized too late
what they lost by not attending the last
meeting, should be sure to be present at the
next.
WOMEN'S MISSIONS.
The meeting of the Woman's Missionary
Society, which was announced in the last
Record for the second Monday in Febru-
ary, was held at that time, but with a
change of program. Instead of the popular
exercises intended, a reorganization ol the
Society was effected, and other necessary
business transacted preparatory to future
effort. Altho a very stormy day, about lifty
ladies were present, and much interest was
manifested. It is hoped that both branches
of Woman's work in our Church, Home
and Foreign, have taken a new departure,
and will henceforth work upon a broader
basis, extending their sympathies and in-
creasing their offerings. Meetings are to be
held monthly, in the interest alternately of
the Home and Foreign Societies. The next
one will be held the second Monday of
March, (the 9th.) by the Foreign Society ;
subject; "Africa." The arrangements are in
the hands of a very efficient committee, and
an interesting program may be expected.
Let every woman in the Church count it
her duty and privilege to be present.

THE RECORD.
EVENING SERVICE.
Practically the sittings at our evening
Service on Sunday are tree. Strangers and
members of the Congregation, who find it
difficult to obtain such sittings at the morn-
ing Service as they would like, will be cheer-
fully accommodated in the evening. The
evening attendance has been frequently re-
marked, as " good, if not large, considering
the customs of the place, and the traditions
of the Church." It does not, however, seem
to be generally appreciated by those who
attend, that the grouping of a congregation
has much to do both with their enjoyment
of the Service and with the ease and effec-
tiveness of most preachers. To sit off un-
der the galleries, or back by the door, while
there are empty pews in the centre and near
the pulpit, is to do as much as possible to
make the Service cold, to discourage the
preacher, and to render the sermon dull and
uninteresting. Let the ushers give you a
sitting in the middle aisle, and well up to-
wards the pulpit.

V\/HY NOT ?
Would it not add to the interest of our
"weekly prayer meeting, if those who think
■they cannot otherwise take part, would read
a short extract from some good book or pa-
per, bearing on the subject of the evening
if possible ; or, if not relating to the even-
ing's subject, something helpful to spiritual
life? The weekly religious papers, one of
which every family in the Church is suppo-
sed to take, always contain stirring appeals
or vivid illustrations of truth, wliich come 1
home forcibly to the heart of the reader, and
might be equally impressive to the hearers,
if read in the social^ prayer meeting. The
Bible at any rate is always at hand for read-
ing at such a meeting, and there is no law
against anyone's reading from it. A short
passage, or^even a single verse, read aloud
after a prayer or hymn, would aften drive a
truth home, and bring encouragement, com-
fort, or new impulse for the Christian life.
Don't wait for ^somebody else to begin, if
you think the suggestion a good one ; but
set the good example yourself.

The Churches under the care of the first

during the past year, for the above objects,
623.005.
These same German Churches, since
these graduates assumed their care in 1874
and 1875, have contributed to all the above
objects $132,075, — a sum much larger than
the total cost of the current expense of the
institution since it was founded.
At its meeting in October last, our Synod
of New Jersey adopted the following:
"That we endeavor, so far as opportunity
offers, to induce competent young men of
German parentage and of unquestioned
piety, to consider the claims of the Gospel
ministry, and to turn their attention to-
wards the German Theological School.
"That we endeavor to make up the defi-
cit of last year and to increase contributions
for the current expenses."
Our Church has also a German Seminary
at Dubuque, Iowa ; and the graduates of
these two schools now supply some sixty-
five German Churches with pastors.
The necessary expenses at Bloomfield so
far this year have been much in excess of
the income. The School is in urgent need
of an increase in its ordinary current con-
tributions ; and also of funds to pay the de-
ficit of last year. And this need is a pre-
sent one. Nine months of the School year
have passed.

PARISH MEETING.
REPORT ON THE MANSE.
The Annual Parish Meeting was held on
the 17th of March, at 3.30 P. M. : Mr. John
Whitehead, Chairman. The Trustees re-
ported an unusually good condition of the
finances, and recommended an appropriation
of $6,750. for the coming year. The following;
were elected : — Trustees: Isaac N. White-
head, H. C. Pitney, A. B. Hull, J. H. Van
Doren, Henry Cory, James R. Voorhees,
Edward Pierson ; Treasurer, Henry Cory ;
Parish Clerk, James R. Voorhees.
The Committee appointed to build a Par-
sonage reported as follows : " Having been
appointed, at an adjourned meeting held
May 13th, 1884, to erect a stone building
for a Parsenage, at a cost not to exceed
$15,000.; your Committee accepted the
plans offered by Mr. Louis R. Hazeltine,
Architect.
"We were assured that the cost of con-
struction would not exceed $15,000., but
when the bids were opened, it was found
that the cost of the building as planned
would not be far from $18,000. The season
was already well advanced when the bids
were received, and as it was evident a smal-
158
THE RECORD.
ler building would be unsuitable for our
tieeds, we concluded not to call for new
plans, which would delay the commence-
ment of work a full month. We proceeded
at once to cut off all ornamental work, in-
:side and outside, which was not absolutely
necessary to the safety and security of the
building. By abandoning all the Ohio stone
trimmings, the bay window in the dining-
room, the laundry conveniences, various
other bits of ornamental work outside, all
the hard-wood flooring and trim inside,
excepting in the hall and stair case where
we left the cherry floor and stairs, all the
double floors, &c., &c.. leaving the finish
throughout cf white pine; we found that
we could construct the building for about
$15,000., or a few dollars less. We adopted
this plan with great reluctance. It left us
with a commodious and substantial, but
very plain and unornamental building. Nev-
ertheless it would be of stone, and would
not cost more than Si 5.000. ; and so we
.separated with saddened hearts.
" Shortly afterwards word was sent to us,
that an aged member of the Parish, who
had already contributed very liberally, was
so much interested in the project, and so
desirous that we 'should have a beautiful
building according to the original design,
that he was willing to make a special con-
tribution of $500. towards the $1,000. needed
to restore the original exterior. The re-
maining S500. necessary was at once made
up, as a special gift for this purpose, by
three other gentlemen who also had previ-
ously contributed liberally. With this en-
couragement, the work of construction was
immediately begun.
" As already stated, the reductions found
to be necessary, left us with a pine finish
inside, except the main staircase and hall
floor. When the outside was completed,
we felt that to trim a stone-building, of its
pretensions, in these times, with pine, would
be an offence against good taste, for which
the Parish would not excuse us ; and, after
careful deliberation, we concluded to restore
the hard-wood trim on the first story. We
were at once met with the liberal offer, from
another member of the Parish, to fit up the
dining-room in oak at his own expense, in
accordance with designs to be approved by
the Pastor. This offer reduced the expense
to the Committee by $350., as it was in-
tended to be a special contribution for that
purpose. The double floors were also re-
stored, and yellow pine floors laid in the
second Jtory at very little additional ex-
pense.
"The requisite amount of stained glass had
been included in the Committee's estimates,
but the Sunday-school, in response to a
suggestion from us, have offered to erect
the triple window in the hall at a cost of
$160., to be their special contribution. The
design, by Miss M. Van Pelt, is heartily
approved by Slack & Co., of Orange, who
are to do the work.
"The whole estimated cost of the build-
ing is $16,743.64, and deducting from this
amount $1,510. of special contributions, the
net cost to the Parish is $15,233.64. Of
this amount there remains to be raised but
$4,679.07.
" Your Committee have labored together
cheerfully and harmoniously from the be-
ginning of the work until the present day ;
but by far the major portion of the work
has been done by two members, Messrs.
Voorhees and Whitehead. These gentle-
men have urgently requested that this re-
port should not particularly refer to them,
but the remaining members of the Commit-
tee insist that the Parish shall hereby learn
a little of what it owes to them. By request
of the Committee, Mr. Whitehead assumed
special charge of the construction of the
building, in addition to the overseeing to
be done by the Architect. He has been
present at the building almost every day ;
and it is safe to say that his labors have
saved the Parish a great many dollars, and
secured a building well and faithfully con-
structed from cellar to roof. Mr. Voor-
hees, as Chairman and Treasurer, has had
entire charge of the financial part of the
work, has attended to all the correspon-
dence, kept the accounts, paid the bills,
&c., &c., in addition to his other work as a
member of the Committee. And we, the
three remaining members, H. C. Pitney, W.
D. Johnson and Stephen Pierson,_ desire to
place upon record here our testimony con-
cerning the faithful and eflUcient labors of
the two gentlemen above named.
"We recommend: ist. That the new

159
building be designated formally as the i of Moses Estey's bilding adjoining the Court
' Manse.'
"2d, That the necessary funds to com-
plete the building be obtained by the Board
of Trustees, by temporary loans upon the
credit of the Parish, and not by a mortgage
upon the property.
" 3d. That, in the opinion of this meeting,
it is possible as well as desirable to pay off
the whole of the debt during the year ; and
that the Building Committee be instructed
to make an appeal to this effect to the con-
gregation."
The report, with its recommendations,
was adopted, after remarks in approval of
the work ; and the Committee was contin-
ued to complete the Manse, a vote of thanks
to them being carried unanimously and
heartily.
A SUNDAY IN THE FIRST CHURCH.
between 1800 and 1825.
Historical Sermon by the Pastor,
Preached 13TH April 1884.
{Continued.)
Behind the Meeting house a litl group
listens while John Mills, President of the
Trustees, points out where the Session
house ouht to stand, with its corners to the
points of the compass and its entrance fac-
ing the northwest angl of the Meeting
house. He declares that it should be bilt of
brik and at once, offering, in his generous
enthusiasm, to advance the money, if the
subscriptions ar not sufficient to begin work
with the opening of spring.* Near by, an-
other group is discussing the recent action
of the Parish in conveying the Green to
the town for a perpetual comon, in consid-
eration of $1,600., most of which was given
by members of the Church. Edward Con-
diet reminds them of the attemt to defraud
the Parish of its rihts in the property, and
of his jurney, not long since, to Amboy for
the purpose of securing the titi in the Green
from the Board of Proprietors. And Rich-
ard Johnson explains the connection be-
tween that attemted fraud and the remons-
trance of the Trustees agenst the erection

house.
An excited crowd surrounds the doors,
talking loudly about the stoves that wer
put in the Meeting house last week for the
first, and ar now to do away with the hot
bricks and litl foot-stoves which sum of
the wimen hav bin accustomd to bring.
One venerabl old man, with emfatic ges-
tures, says : " It is sacrelegious to desecrate
the house of God with the devices and in-
ventions of man. Providence has kept us
and our fathers warm enuf without stoves
in the coldest winters, for eighty years in
the old Meeting house and in this, and
Providence wil keep us warm in the fu-
ture, if we wil only put our trust in it. But
that is just the trubl ; this generation has
n't any faith. Mark my words : before the
year is out, on sum tedious day like this,
you'l find that Providence has let your
stoves burn the Meeting house to the
ground, as a punishment for your sin. It
is all of a peece with this new-fangld pro-
posal of an assurance on the Meeting house,
another invention of Satan to tempt the
Lord. But no wonder ; for when you lose
faith in Providence to keep you warm in
his worship, of course you must get the
devil's help to protect you from iire. I
praise the Lord that the Parish has de-
feated this last ' device of the grand Adver-
sary' to ensnare us. But can we expect the
word to profit us withal, when, in the very
house of God, we put our confidence in the
sinful devices of man .'" Then elder M.
speaks up. " I quite agree with you. brother
Benoni, and let me tel these youngsters,
ther is another very practical objection
agenst their hot stoves. It wil be simply
impossibl to keep the fires low enuf, and
their heat, aded to that generated from the
the bodies of the great congregation, wil
suffocate us." With that, he goes to the
porch, takes the big bar. used on the inside
to hold the door shut, and with it braces
the door wide open ; determind that ther
shal be as much circulation of air in the
Meeting house as he can secure on this
windy day. Miss O., in passing, thanks
elder M. and remarks on the "dredful hot
blast" he has let out ; saying that she fears,
even with the doors open, she "cannot
stand the heat thru all the meeting time."
i6o
THE RECORD.
In order to view the interior we enter
early by the commanding porch that opens
thru the front of the steepl. facing the
Green. Ther ar no steps from the porch up
to the floor of the Church, and a glance
within shows the archt ceiling rising to a
majestic hight.* Here in the porch a man
is " affixt," who receivs six-pence a Sab-
bath for keeping dogs out of the Meeting
house. He explains to us a paper takt to
the door : saying that it is an old notice of
a vendue by the Trustees, which was held
last week to dispose of two sadls and sum
other property takn for pew rent ; and that
one of the sadls sold for ten dollars and ten
cents, while the other broht ten dollars
and four cents, the purchasers giving their
notes payabl with interest in three months.
As we pass the gallery stairs, we observ the
stalwart forms of Jeduthan and Usual Con-
diet, who stand as sentinels, one on each
side, " to take charge of, and prevent as
much as may be, disorderlj' and ill behav-
ed boys siting on the stares, from playing
and making disturbance in time of public
service."
Now stand for a moment in the shadow
of the gallery, and catch the pleasing effect
of color and arrangement. The interior is
painted a " light sky blue." Tall, substan-
tial pillars of oak support the lofty gallery
that sweeps around the house except at the
end opposit to the entrance, where the pul-
pit towers alone. At that end, on either
side of the pulpit, ar three square pews ; ten
similar pews line each side wall, separated
by ampl iles from two bloks of slip-pews
that ar themselvs separated by a broad ile
down the midl of the Meeting house. All
of the pews ar partitiond by high baks,
reaching wel up the shoulders of those who
sit in them. They sold originally at from
$600. down to $100. and now pay a rent
equal to seven and a half per cent of their
valuation, or from $50. down to $7., accord-
ing to location, those nearest the pulpit
being most valuabl. In No. i, the square
pew next the pulpit, on the riht as we look
from the entrance, sits the pastor's family,
in plain siht of the congregation. Dr. Wm.
Campfield occupies the square pew in the

corner, whose high floor, which givs him a
commanding view of the house, has bin a
bone of contention for sixteen years: at
last the Parish has orderd the Trustees to
remove it at their expense. In another cor-
ner ar benches, where sit the negroe slaves
of consequential families. In the gallery ar
benches for the volunteer choir, a band of
singers wel traind by Mr. Dunham, "the
chorrister," who receives $40. a year for his
services : all ar under the direction of the
singing comitee, Lewis Condict. Joseph
Cutler, Loammi Moore, Ezekiel Whitehead
and Zophar Freeman, who "ar authorized
to appoint chorristers, point out proper
tunes to be sung, and generally do all
things necessary for the promotion of har-
mony in the singing and with the singers."
No " ritualistic organ " has yet bin intro-
duced to despoil the praise of God with its
" bag o' whustles. ' The Sabbath School is
up here in the gallery, holding its session
before meeting begins. No men ar to be
seen, the superintendent and the half dozn
teachers are all wimen ; for the scool is an
innovation, introduced only a few years ago
(1816), and thot by many to bode more
harm than good : quiet horse-talk and gos-
sip, about the Meeting house door, ar bet-
ter for both men and wimen, elders and
deacons, their wives and dauhters. Conse-
quently only a score or so of very litl chil-
dren ar on the benches to-day, studying A.
B. C. Primers, reciting Scripture verses and
the Shorter Catechism. Among them is a
golden-haird descendant of John Alden
and Priscilla Mullens, sitting between the
first Fanny and the first George Washing-
ton in the community, whose names sound
very stranj mingld with the many Naomi's
and Phebe's, the Ebenezer's and Timo thy's
and other good old patriarchs and saints
who hav stept out of the Pulpit Bible to
becum agen restiv litl ones on these benches.
Descending to the floor, we notice the
disturbing element of the day, the two
stoves ; plain affairs, iron boxes to burn

IN MEMORIAM.
At a special meeting of the Woman's Frtf-
eign Missionary Society of the First Pres-
byterian Church, held on March 25th, 18S5,
the following resolutions were adopted iri
relation to the death of its late President,
which occurred March i8th, 1885 :
Whereas. It has pleased the Heavenly
Father to take to Himself so unexpectedly
our beloved President and Pastor's wife,
Mrs. Elisabeth S. Durant, thus giving to
our Society, in its infancy, a baptism of sori-
row ; therefore, '
Resolved, That while we bow submissivety
beneath the hand thus heavily laid upori
us, believing that it is in love and not ir>
wrath, we keenly feel our loss and deeply
mourn that we shall have the cheering'
light of her sunny smile and helpful pres-
ence no more among us ; yet rejoice that
the grief is ours alone— for her there is only
joy-
Resolved, That we cherish most tenderly
the memory of her pure and lovely Chris-
tian character, her sweet resignation unde^
trial, her ready obedience to every call of
duty, her devotion to the Master's work as
shown particularly by her earnest interest
in the purpose and aim of this Society; and
that we strive to emulate her exampl<^»
praying that the inspiration of her beauti»

THE RECORD.
ful life and peaceful death among us may
lift each of us to a higher plane of conse-
cration to the cause she so dearly loved.
Resolved, That in gratitude to God for the
blessed hope of eternal life, through Jesus
Christ His Son, and as a memorial of her
who has entered into that life, we will make
a special offering to the cause of Foreign
Missions, devoting it to some object here-
after to be designated.
Resolved, That we tender to our bereaved
pastor our heartfelt sympathy, commending
him and his motherless little ones to the
gracious care and comfort of Him who is
infinite compassion, and whose loving pres-
ence alone can fill the vacant place in his
heart and home.
HAVE YOUR ANSWER READY.
If you have hope in Christ, extraordinary
talents and opportunities are not required
in order '* to give an answer to every one
that asketh you a reason concerning the
hope that is in you." (i Peter iii, 15). The
Bible itself supplies you with nearly every
one of these reasons. It says, over and
over again, what the Christian hope is, how
it rests on Christ and his work, how it looks
for divine support in this life and eternal
blessedness in heaven.
If a man never studies for himself, or
thru the law, a will which puts him in
possession of a large property, so as to dis-
cover his title, and be able to defend it;
you would say that he deserves to lose the
property. But the Bible is God's will and
testament, bequeathing to the believer the
priceless legacy of salvation and eternal
life; therefore, search the Scriptures.
Then, as to the influence of the Christian
hope upon your own life, which must al-
ways be a large part of your answer to those
who ask a reason "concerning the hope
that is in you ;" your daily experience gives
material for a ready answer. Surely you
can tell some troubled soul that is seeking
peace, how your Christian hope is helping
you to overcome sin and the world, to bear
disappointment and sorrow, to strive after
more purity, and love both to God and to
man ; and how it gives you a peace and joy
which the world cannot take away, and
more sweet than any it can give.
Some persons act as if this answer could
be ready only after long Christian experi-
ence, and superlative Christian attainments.
It ought, indeed, to grow fuller and clearer
as you get nearer to the grave and nearer
to the throne. But you do not need to
wait till noon in order to give a convincing
reason for believing that day has followed
the night. He is worse than blind, who
cannot tell why he hopes the day will come,
just as soon as the first glow of dawn ap-
pears in the east. So the Christian is able
to give this answer upon the first glimmer
of gospel hope in his soul: he has no ex-
cuse for not being ready always after that.

Historical Sermon by the Pastor,
Preached 13TH April 1884.
{Contiftued.) .
likely to explode, — nobody knows when.
But the old " two-branch candle sticks " ar
stil in place, at " each window below, two
for the desk in front of the pulpit, and one
for each pillar." Last and best of all the
objects in the Meeting house, take a real-
izing view of the pulpit ; the pride of the
congregation and the "great admiration of
travelers from abroad." This, too, is new ;
the old one, probably broht from the
original Meeting house, having bin uzd in
this til 1818, and then givn to the neighbor-
ing Church at New Foundland. The splen-
did work of art upon which we now gaze
was bilt by Joseph Cutler, at a cost of
$224.74. It is a box with high sides, having
three mahogany panels archt outward in
front, and is reacht by winding stairs, for the
platform rests on the top of pillars nine or
ten feet abov the Meeting house floor.
Overbed hangs the larj and shel-like sound-
ing board.*
It has takn les time to see all these things
than to describe them, and the first hym is
not finisht when we ar startled by a com-
motion : the singing sudnly stops, every-
body is looking, sum ar hastening, towards
one particular pew. ^It is that of Miss O.,
•The remains may now be seen in the loft of the steepl,
whither the pulpit was removed about i86o, to giv place to a
more modern and much cheaper desk, which in its turn gave
way to the present one about 1870,
who thankt elder M. for bracing the door
open. She has bin gasping with the heat
ever since she enterd, and now her fears
ar realizd ; she lies in a ded faint. Two or
three sympathizers carry her to the breezy
porch, and then return with rathful faces,
determined to put out the fires in the sin-
ful stoves ; when the discovery is made
that ther has not bin a spark of fire in them ;
the temperature is down to freezing; and
it was nuthing but prejudice and imagina-
tion that sent Miss O. off in her faint.
After quiet is restored, the minister rises
to giv out the notices. He is a man of sliht
bild, rather under than over the average
bight, but looking larjer than he really is
by reason of the flowing blak silk gown he
wears, — a gift from the ladies of the congre-
gation. His face and manner at once show
spritual unction and win unusual regard
even from strangers.* He reads the folo-
ing:
(i). It is my painful duty to inform the
congregation, that Mr. H., agenst whom
ther hav bin reports in circulation for sum
time, charging him with gross dishonesty,
is after all not a member of this Church, as
appears from his own assertion when cited
before the Session, and upon an examina-
tion of the Sessional Records. " After sum
deliberation, the Session Resolved that
they hav no authority to proceed in this
business, and therefore that it be dismissed.
Resolved further, that inasmuch as Mr. H.
has for many years been looked upon as a
member of this Church, entitled to its
privileges and subject to its discipline, and
in view of the Church and of the world, the
Session are responsible for their faithful-
ness to him as a member. Therefore they
feel bound, in justice to themselves and to
the cause of religion, to make a full and
candid statement of his case to the Church ;
that it may be known that we are not re-
sponsible."
(2). A meeting for special prayer, insti-
tuted by the Session, wil be held at Jona-
than Ford's, Tuesday next at 2 o'clok in '
the afternoon ; in which the ministers and
Churches of Hanover and South Hanover
hav bin invited to join, as the place is con-
tiguous to those congregations.
•Dr. Wm. A. McDowell. Pastor from 1814 to 1823. Th«
only record of a gown is one given to the elder Dr. Richards.
i64
THE RECORD.
(3), A meeting wil be held at John Mills'
this evening at erly candl liht.
(4). I wil make my quarterly visitation
on Watnung (Morris) Plains. Thursday
next ; and in the evening a meeting for
special prayer wil be held at Mr. Turner's,
when children may be presented for bap-
tism. [None this morning ; hardly a Sun-
day without infant Baptisms in Dr. Johnes'
pastorate of fifty years ; he baptized 2,800
and more.]
(5). The Trustees hav voted that the
money collected last Sabbath be applied to
the support of missionaries on the frontiers.
(6). The foloing resolutions hav bin
adopted by the Session : Whereas it is the
duty of the Session to assist the Pastor in
catechising and instructing the children,
resolved. That, in addition to the stated
catechetical instruction givn by the pastor,
the Session wil catechise the children in
the several districts of the congregation at
least twice a year; and for the accomplish-
ment of this important object, that they be
classified in the foloing manner, Viz.
Messrs. Vail, Cutler and Youngs be one
class to catechise the children in the district
©n Watnung plain, at Littleton, and near
f^Demas Ford's ; That Z. Freeman, Mr. Pier-
son, and Mr. D. Lindsley be one class to
catechise the children in Green Village.
Mulbery and New Vernon districts : That
Mr. S. Freeman and Halsey be one class to
catechise the children in the district near
Jacob Goble's in Jockey Hollow and near
Mr. Vincent Guering's : That Messrs. John-
son and Mills be one class to catechise the
children in Morristown. Resolved. That
the above classes attend to the catechising
of the children in their respectiv districts.
in the months of March and October ; and,
if providentially prevented, as soon there-
after as Providence permits." [This is a
measure of Dr. Fisher's pastorate, adopted
a few years before the Sunday-school origi-
nated.]
(7). The Rev. Samuel Whelpley has pre-
* Rented a certificate of membership and or-
dination in the Baptist denomination, and
after examination by the Session he has bin
received and wil enter into covenant with
this Church Sabbath next.
(8), The foloing persons appeard before
t'he Session Thursday last, desiring to be
receivd to the full communion of the
Church. After conversing with them indi-
vidually, and being satisfied with their
nolej, the evidence of their piety, and their
views in desiring to cum to the holy ordi-
nance of the Supper, The Session agreed to-
propound them to the congregation ; and
they wil be publicly receivd to full commu-
nion Sabbath next, unles sufficient reasoii
to the contrary shal be made known to the
Session in the meantime : Silas Johnsorj,
Abigail, widow of Joseph Prudden ; Amos^
son of Joseph Prudden, deceased ; Deborah
Tuttle, widow ; and Anna, wife of Silas By-
ram. [This is an innovation. No examin-
ations by Session til 1791. Only 38 adults
Baptized by Dr. Johnes, and only 3 of these
on Sunday ; the 400 and odd admitted to
communion in first 50 years wer granted
the privilege, in virtue of their baptism in
infancy, upon his approval. Propounding
candidates as above appears only in records
of Dr. McDowell's pastorate.]
(9). The holy ordinance of the Lord's
Supper wil be administerd Sabbath next,
and the Preparatory Lecture wil be held in
the Meeting house Friday afternoon at 2
o'clok. [Another innovation. Previously
there had bin 6 communions every year from
1743 down : the ist Sunday in Jan. and ist
of every alternate month. After 1817 only
4 a year wer observd, falling on the ist Sun-
day in each quarter: this continued until
after Sept., 1858. in the pastorate of Dr. Irv-
ing ; when the present custom begart,
which gives 6 a year, on the ist Sunday in
Feb. and ist of every alternate month.]
(10). No person professing to belong to
any sister church, can be admitted to occa-
sional communion in this Church, for more
than one year, without producing a certifi-
cat of regular standing in the Church to
which such person professedly belongs.
[This last notice marks an innovation of
1808, and seems to hav bin red annually for
nearly twenty-five years. While its aim is
good, it is one to be souht by persuasion and
not by command, to be decided by the con-
science of the communicant, not by any ec-
clesiastical authority in this oflF-hand man-
ner. Ther is no such rule in force here to-
day; ther never has bin any warrant in the
constitution of our Church for such a rule;

Mark, 1 524 ; of complete N. T.. 1 525 or 6 ; of
Pentateuch, 1531; and before deth had
translated O. T. as far as II Chron.. with
Book of Jonah. First printed portions of
Bible in English and first versions made from
the original Hebrew and Greek. By order of
Henry and Cardinal Wolsey copies, and
some who possest them, wer burnt when
found in England.
Miles CovERDALE. in 1535, publisht/r^/
version of whole Bible, using Tyndale's work
as far as printed, and, for the remainder,
translating from Luther's and other recent
versions; dedicated to Henry VIII., and
freely admitted into England.
Thomas Matthews, pseudonym of John
Rogers, a friend and assistant of Tyndale,
martyrd in 1555, under Mary. Publisht re-

A copy ordered to be placed in every parish
Church.
Great Bible, so called from large size of
book, sometimes called Cranmer's Bible ;
edited by Coverdale at the direction of the
government, on the basis of the Matthew's
version. Source of Psalter in present Book
of Common Prayer. First version to print,
in different /y/^, 'words needed for English
sense, but not found in the originals.
Genevan Bible, undertaken by English
exiles at Geneva, Wm. Whittingham
(brother-in-law of John Calvin), being chief
editor ; with Tyndale's work as its basis.

Gen. iii. 7. Puritan and republican tone of
marginal comments made it oflfensiv in cer-
tain quarters.
Bishops' Bible, also known as Parker s
Bible, published in 1568, and so called
because Archbishop Parker engaged 15
learned men, 8 of whom wer Bishops, to
prepare the work. A revision of the Great
Bible. Disappointed expectations as to
scholarship, and never came into general
favor. By appointment of King James
made basis of version now in use.
Catholic Bible: N. T. publisht at
Rheims in 1528; O. T., at Douay in 1609.
Translated from the Latin, in some instances
so blindly as to be unintelligible; but has
many felicitous words and expressions, some
of which wer adopted into King James'
version.
King James' Bible, first publisht in 1611 ;
our present version. Undertaken in 1604, on
the informal order of James I., by 47 emi-
nent scholars, divided into 6 classes, two
sitting at Westminister, two at Oxford, and
two at Cambridge ; with oversight by " three
or four most ancient and grave divines not
employd in translating," and finally revisd
by two delegates from each class and six
others. It was never formally or truly " Au'
thorized ;" but gradually won its way to
general favor. Aside from the Bishops'
Bible, of the previous versions in English,
"that of Geneva most influenct the render-
ings of our Bible, and that of Rheims and
Douay the vocabulary." Changes in spelling,
punctuation, italics, marginal readings and
references hav been made from time to
time ; but otherwise the Bible in common
use to-day is the same as that publisht in
1611.
The Anglo-American Revision, now
completed, has for its object " to adapt
King James' version to the present state of
the English language, without changing
the idiom and vocabulary, and to the
present standard of Biblical scholarship
which has made very great advances since

Hanover Township, May i, 1732.
John Haywood, of full Age, deposeth,
That on or about the 22d Day of April last
past, in the Forks of the North Branches
of Raritan River in said County, one Ben-
jamin Hillyard, late from Potowmack River
in Maryland, or Virginia but formerly of
Piscattaway in New Jersey, Black-Smith,
Took this Deponent aside, and there spoke
to this Deponent as follows, viz : That
one Timothy Burcham, and others were
d ned fools, that they would not be per-
suaded to go with him, with whom they
might get Money as fast as Heart could
wish. Then added, D n it, I'll show
you (pointing to some Horses) he said, such
would sell down in Maryland for 14 or 15
Pounds a piece, and that at this Season of
the year they were plenty in the Woods,
being turned out to get Flesh against
ploughing time; and that he would take
them, and go back of the Inhabitants to
Maryland, to sell them ; and if they did not
sell amongst the English, he would sell
them to the Indians, and there they would
sell for Skins at a better Value. And that
many new Plantations were settling to-
wards the Head of the Potowmack River,
where a great Number of Negroes was to
be had. Ten or a Dozen at a Time, and take
them back to the French Indian Traders to
sell them. And that he would assure any
one that would join with him in this Pro-
ject, more than One Hundred Pounds in
Three Months time; and that it should be
so nicely wrought (or carried on) that none
should be suspected, of doing any wrong ;
And he also proposed to take this Depo-
nent, as a Partner in this wicked Design
who absolutely refused. And this Depo-

Sworn before me John Budd, Justice.
Note. In other Depositions, it was proposed
to carry Horses and bring Negroes and sell
them in New-York Colony, or New-Eng-
land, and that he stole a Negro and sold
him on Long Island, and had several limes
of 2 or 3 Horses, at first setting out, made
10 or 14 of them, before he came to Mary-
land or Virginia, to sell them. He particu-
larly mentioned Powtowmack for stealing
Negroes from the new Plantations, where
abundance of them are under Overseers.
Its well known that Burcham is gone with
Hillyard, and believed Fitzrandolph also.

A SUNDAY IN THE FIRST CHURCH.
between 1800 AND 1825.
Historical Sermon by the Pastor,
Preached 13TH April 1884.
(Concluded.)
and I wonder at the temerity which thus

THE RECORD.
undertook to fence tRe' Lord's tabl, for
logically it is a usurpation over privat judg-
ment of the same sort as the Romish denial
of the cup to the laity.]
I would urge upon you ajl« more general
interest in the classes for the instruction of
the young, which are held on every Sabbath
morning before meeting. [Under date of
30 Jan. 1816, in the pastorate of Dr. Mc-
Dowell, the Minutes of the Session contain
the following: "The order of the Synod in
regard to the formation of societies lor the
instruction of the j^oung in the Scriptures
was red. & the Moderator was appointed to
draw a plan for the establishment and re-
gulation of such societies or classes."
This was probably the outgrowth of the
idea suggested by the Rev. Robert Finley,
of Baskingridge, which received the en-
dorsement of the General Assembly in 1815 :
and undoutedly the origin of the Sunday-
school of this Church.]
The "long prayer" foloes the notices,
occupying about twenty-five minutes,
during which the congregation stands.
Then the minister takes up Watts' Psalms
and Hymns, the only collection ever yet
allowed in the Meeting house, and an-
nounces " Psalm 51st, 2d part, long metre."
On opening to the place, we find that the
title reads : " Original and actual sin con-
fessed." We sit to sing the Psalm, and at
its close, the pepermints and sweet-fiag
having bin unrold from the corners of hand-
kerchiefs, we are prepared to listen to the
sermon. This does not impress us very
much at first, since the exordium contains
many generalities and much labord inter-
pretation ; but as the preacher gets into his
subject, and especially when he has warmd
up to the improvement of his theme, we
feel his power more and more. The tears
stream copiously down his own face in the
fervor of his appeals, and nearly every one
in the congregation is weeping. We jot
down a few of the closing sentences, but
cannot copy their eloquence and power of
pathos and persuasion. The preacher says :
" From this subject, we see what excludes
men from Heaven. It is not a want of ful-
ness and freeness m the plan of mercy. It
is not that God is unwilling to save the
sinner. It is simply because yon will not
be saved. You choose your own pride,
your own vanity, your own lust, your own
course in life — the path that leads to hell —
No other being will bear the guilt but your-
selves— forever and forever, you will welter
in eternal woe, bearing your guilt unpitied
and alone — Nor will it be a trifling crime to
be damned. It is not a thing which you are
at liberty to choose. You have no right to
go down to hell and become the eternal
enemy of God. You are under solemn ob-
ligations to be saved. Let me also remind
you, if you go from this place to woe, you
will inherit no common damnation. Here
this amazing plan of God's mercy has been
presented again and again. Here God's
Spirit has striven. Many of you have been
before awakened and lived through revi-
vals of religion. Others have pressed into
the Kingdom ; and you have felt and known,
that you must repent or die. Go home this
day, impenitent sinner, if God spares a rebel
like }'ou to get home — go home and reflect,
that if you pass through this revival uni-
moved, the probabilit\' is that you will be
damned, and the certainty is, lh:\t_you only
will be to blame if you are. I do not say
that you will certainly be lost, I say that a
most fearful probability thunders perdition
on your guilty path. What should move
you hereafter if you. are not moved now?
You kno7u your dut}', and your doom if you
do it not. You are in the hands of a Sov-
ereign God. There I leave you. I have no-
other power than to spread out the scheme
of mercy — to entreat you by the love of
Jesus, and the mercy of God, and the value
of the soul, to embrace the offer of life ; and
if you will perish, I must sit down and weep
as I see you glide to the lake of death. Yet
I cannot see you take that dread plunge —
see you die, die forever, without once more
assuring you that the otfer of the Gospel is
freely made to you. While you linger this-
side the fatal verge, that shall close life and
hope and happiness, I would once more lift
up my voice and say ; see, sinner, see a God
of love. He comes to you. He fills the
Heaven, the skies, the earth. Hear his
voice as it breaks on the stillness of this
house. Listen to the accents of the ever-
living God — " As I live I have no pleasure
in the death of ihe wicked, but rather that
he turn and live: turn ye, turn ye, for why
will ye die }" Then in an earnest, heartfelt
prayer, he bears the congregation to the
throne of grace ; imploring the Lord to
spare this people, and save these dying sin-
ners. "Oh. most holy, blessed and merciful
Saviour, deliver them not into the bitter
pains of eternal death ! Arnen."[iJ
Another Psalm is sung, the benediction
is pronounced, and we pass out with the
husht and awed assembly, to ponder what
we have herd, while we eat our lunch, in a
sheltered spot, during the intermission be-
fore the second services at 2 o'clock. [2]

WOMAN'S FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The regular meeting of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society will be held on
Monday afternoon, July 13th, in the Chapel,
at 4 o'clock. An interesting progratn is
in progress, and a full attendance is hoped
for.
WOMAN'S HOME MISSION.
The meeting of the Home Missionary So-
ciety, held on June 8Lh. was well attended,
and an increasing interest in the cause of
missions was manifested.
The question of assuming the support of
a teacher was freely discussed, and finally
decided by the selection of Mrs. R. W. D.
Bryan, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, as
our teacher.
It was considered advisable to appropri-
ate the remainder of the funds to mission
work among the Mormons.
SUPPLEMENT.
Publication of the Minutes will be discon-
tinued for a few months. In the meantime
the "Combined Registers, 1742 to 1885," of
which the first eight pages were published
in Feb., will be continued ; the Supplement
for this month beginning with " Phebe.
daughter of Nathaniel and Rachel Arm-
strong," and extending to "Anne Ayres, dis-
missed 19 April, 1815 to N. Y."
This list in the Combined Registers is in-
tended to contain all the names, with all the
facts of record opposite each name, from all
the Registers of the Church, arranged in al-
phabetical order. Great pains have been
taken to make the list complete and accu-
rate, but it is beyond hope that the list is
free from errors ; corrections will be thank-
fully received.

ELDER LEBBEUS B- WARD.
Lebbeus B. Ward, who died oh Monday,
June 15th, at the house of his son, No. 605
Madison avenue. New York, was born in
Chatham, N. J., on April 7, 1801. His father
was a farmer and manufacturer and his
mother was from the Dod family of Newark.
His grandfather was a captain in the Revo-
lutionary Army. After receiving a common
school education Mr. Ward went at the age
of nineteen to Montreal, where his brothers
John and Samuel had already started one of
the first machine shops in Canada. He re-
mained in business with them until 1839,
when he went to England to study heavy
iron forgings. Later he established the
Hammersley Forge Works at Fifty-ninth
street and the North River, New York city,
which were then the only works in the city
capable of handling large forgings. He also
built a large stone house in the English
style near the works and there his sons
were born and reared. He remained in this
business until 1851, when he retired, becom-
ing director in the Broadway Bank, and
later one of the founders of the Importers'
and Traders' Bank and a stockholder in
many other financial enterprises. In the
same year he was elected a member of the
New York Assembly, where he was Chair-
man of the Committee on Banking and
Education. While there he secured a char-
ter for the New York Juvenile Asylum, of
which he was a corporator. He was also a
member of the Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions and gave largely to other
charities. In the early years of the present
Metropolitan Police Board he was one of
the Commissioners.
Mr. Ward was married three times. His
first wife, Miss Diminis Dickinson, of Mon-
treal, lived only one year after her mar-
riage. By his second wife, Mrs. Abby Par-
tridge Pratt, of Hatfield, Mass., he had three
sons, one of whom died in his infancy, the
other two being Dr. Samuel B. Ward, of Al-
bany, and Willard P. Ward, of New York
City. In 1848, three years after the death
of his second wife he married Miss Eliza-
beth Starr, of New York City, who died a
year ago.
Mr. Ward removed to Morristown, N. J.,
in 1867, and was installed Elder in our
Church on the 17th of Dec, 1871. The Ses-
sion adopted the following minute, June
l8th : "In view of the death of Mr. Leb-
beus B. Ward, on the 15th inst., in the 85th
year of his age. Session would record their
sincere appreciation of his Christian char-
acter, and of the faithful discharge of his
duties, as a member of Session for many
years past, and until incapacitated bj'' his
advanced age and increasing infirmities."'

upon the lips of my loved grand-mother as
she talked of the days of '76, and when 1
read for the first time the history, familiar
to every American, of the lofty courage and
heroic endurance of Washington and his-
little army, at that early period a wish i^rose
in my heart to visit the places and view the
scenes consecrated by their valor or their,
sufferings, and, as a pilgrim approach|es;
with a reverential joy and holy boldnesd^
the shrine endeared to him by the recollec-
tions of the past, thus I hoped to wander
among those old battle-fields .and camping-
grounds, where the hand of Time has ^al-
most obliterated the black and heavy marks-
that War, the stern historian, writes with:
iron pen upon the tablet of the earth.
Among those places most intimately con-
nected with our Revolutionary history,
Morristown, a beautiful and flourishing vil-
lage in the northern part of New Jersey,
occupies an important position. Twice dur-
ing our war for independence Washington*
chose Morristown as the winter-quarters of
his weary little band of heroes, and his
troops were encamped here during the mem-
orable winter of 1779-80, which was the
coldest ever known in this locality, an<i
which became somewhat celebrated in the

THE RECORD.
historical records of the time under the
name of the '• hard winter."
As a body of troops were frequently sta-
tioned at Morristown, it seems to have been
considered an important strategic position
by our commanders ; and although the
British sent out several expeditions to cap-
ture it, they were never successful in their
•endeavors.
Here sat the court-martial thatcondemn-
«d the subsequent traitor Arnold to be
reprimanded by the commander-in-chief for
Aiis excesses. Here Lafayette— the heroic
youth who left his native land and beauti-
ful bride and crossed the ocean to battle
for freedom — hastened to meet his beloved
Washington, on his second arrival from
France, where he had exerted his powerful
influence to procure aid of men and money
;for the young Republic.
Many of the buildings that were built be-
fore or during the time of the Revolution
still remain standing, and some have chang-
ed bfit little in appearance since they were
occupied by Washington and his compatri-
ots. Of the latter class is the old "Ford
Mansion," better known as '* Washington's
4iead--quarters," where may be seen many
.relics of "ye ancient time."
At a short distance from the village, and
upon an eminence commanding the town,
are the remains of an old fort erected dur-
ing the Revolution ; and as the visitor
walks along upon the sunken ramparts, or
ctimbs the broken wall that formed a part
of the enclosure, he can almost imagine
that he sees
"The old Continentals
In their ragged regimentals."
throwing up dirt for the entrenchments, or
rolling along the stones that are to strength-
en the fortifications.
But it is in the old cemetery that we find
the most interesting mementoes of the past
and the clearest proofs of the antiquity of
the town, for there we can find tombstones,
green with the moss of age, with inscrip-
tions worn away by the storms of years til)
they are almost illegible — which were plac-
ed there early in the eighteenth century, or
over one hundred and fifty years ago.
When my iong-cherished desire :o visit the
ancient burial-place had been gratified, and
J found myself wandering among the marble
monuments and hoary headstones rich with
the history of the past, I could not resist
the temptation to linger for a time in a spot
consecrated by so many sacred memories,
and pencil in hand, to note a few of the in-
scriptions that I found there, and that are
interesting or instructive to the student or
curiosity-seeker.
Upon the rough notes thus hurriedly
taken the sketch before you has its origin.
A complete history of all the extraordi-
nary events that have happened in a neigh-
borhood may frequently be gathered from a
diligent study of its tombstones, and there-
fore this burial place at Morristown acquires
new and stronger interest as it grows older,
and will ever continue to be a favorite re-
sort with the antiquary and the student of
history.
The old Cemetery occupies a central po-
sition in the village of Morristown, immedi-
ately in the rear of the Presbyterian Church.
This Church is built upon the spot where
the meeting-house in which Washington
worshipped and engaged in communion
service once stood, and has lately been re-
paired and greatly improved in its appear-
ance.
After entering the burial-ground I took
the path to the right, and my attention was
soon arrested by a large, flat tombstone in-
scribed as follows ; —
" In memory of Peter Dickinson, member
of the first Provincial Congress of New
Jersey in 1775, afterwards captain of the sec-
ond Company, third Regiment of the New
Jersey Brigade of the Revolutionary army
of 1776. Died 1785. Came to Morris Co. with
his family 1724."
Then the path led me to the grave of the
Rev. Dr. Johnes. who, was pastor of the
Presbyterian Church during the Revolution
and concerning whom I find the following
anecdote in Lossing's " Illustrated Field
Book of the Revolution."
" It is related that he (Washington) called
upon the Rev. Dr. Jones, the pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of Morristown, on
learning that the communion service was
to be observed in his Church on the follow-
ing Sabbath, and inquired whether com-
municants of another denomination were
permitted to join with them. The doctor
replied : —
THE RECORD-
175
"Most certainlj'. Ours is not the Presby-
terian's table, General, but the Lord's ; and
hence we give the Lord's invitation to all
his followers of whatever name."
" ' I am glad of it,' said the general ; " that
is as it ought to be ; but as I was not quite
sure of the fact, I thought I would ascertain
it from )''Ourself, as I propose to join you
on that occasion. Though a member of the
Church of England, I have no exclusive
partialties."
"Washington was at the communion ta-
ble on the following Sabbath."
There appear to have been several clergy-
men of the name of Johnes (Lossing and
several other historians spell the name
Jones, but I prefer to follow the ortho-
graphy of the old headstone), and the pul-
pit of this church may have been filled by
the same family for several generations.
A little further on I saw the tombs of a
number of the Ford family; it was one of
the most distinguished in the county in the
days of '76. These tombs are surmounted
by large stones raised some two feet from
the ground, and supported by brickwork.
The bricks, however, are crumbling rapidl)',
and in some places are tumbling down.
One of the stones is inscribed as follows : —
'* In memory of Colonel Chillion Ford,
who departed this life on the nineteenth of
October, 1800, aged forty-two years, nine
months and twenty-three days. He early
showed his attachment to his country by
entering into her service at the commence-
ment of her struggle with Great Britain,
and continued during the war an able and
active officer in the artillery. He was a
warme friend, a tender husband, a kind
father, and an honest man."
I will quote here two other inscriptions,
the first of which shows that the Baptist
Church of Morristown must have been es-
tablished at a very early date in the history
of our country.
" In memory of the Rev. John Walton,
who was minister of the Baptist Church in
Morristown, and who died October the first,
1770, aged thiity-five years."
" In memory of Captain Job Brookfield.
an officer of the Revolution, who died in the
year 1833, aged 83 years."
When the small pox was raging so fear-
fully in the little army of patriots stationed
at Morristown, many of the soldiers who
died of this loathsome disease — a more
dreaded foe than the British rifle — were
buried in this cemetery ; but although some
of the inhabitants of the village know in
what part of the ground they were interred,
I could find no marks to indicate their final
resting-place.
So after this \yar in which we are now en-
gaged is concluded ; when relatives or
friends search over the battle fields and
grave }'ards to find some mark or trace of
the dear ones who died in the service of
their country, they will find as they wander
upon the banks of the Potomac or Missis-
sippi, or on the plains of Kentucky, that—
"No monument or lettered stone
Marks the lone resting of the brave."
but far from the scenes of his childhood and
the loved ones at home sleeps the brave
volunteer, where no willow shall weep, no
flower bloom, no mother or sister come to
mourn over the little spot of earth that
covers their lost soldier-boy.
Many of the inscriptions found in this old
cemetery, especially those written upon the
oldest stones, are very eccentric, and often
excite a smile by the quaintness and even
humor that they exhibit. The poetry — if it
should be thus designated- is in an especial
manner remarkable for the poetic license
and the new and often startling similes and
figures of rhetoric that are used by the
epitaph writers. I copied several inscrip-
tions of this character, and will give them
to you, although the quaint carving with
which the headstones are decorated, and
the curious manner in which the letters are
engraved upon them cannot be described by
type.
" Come see ye place where I do ly
As you are now so once was I
As I Be now soon You will be
PrePare for Death and Follow me."
Another : —
"Beauty and wit with virtue joined
Did grace the Body here confined
Weep not Kind reader but Rejoyce
In Heaven is heard here tunefull voice
However weep yt Faith has taken more
Than Nature can to Friends Restore."
The following curious epitaph seems to
176
THE RECORD.
be addressed pointedly and particularly to
the wife of the deceased —
" Farewell dear wife my life is past
My love to you till death did last
Now after me no sorrow take
But love my orphans for my sake."
Most of those old epitaphs begin thus :—
" Here lyes ye Bady of — "
The annexed is another of these super-
scriptions : —
" In memory of Benjamin Hathaway Esqr
Aged 63 years Dec'd April 21 1762
"Here's ye Remains of him that was a Esqr
may Rest with Kings & Princes In ye
Dust
Until ye world Desolves In flaming Fire
At ye Last Resurrection of ye Dust
When ye arch Angels trump'h sound
Arise ye Dead appear before ye Lord
When Christ will meet Ye Righteous in
cloud."
The tombstone from which the -above was
copied had settled so much in the ground
that I was unable, even after putting away
the grass and leaves from its base, to make
out the whole of the inscription, which ap-
pears to have been quite lengthy. What I
have given, however, will doubtless furnish
an idea of the whole.
" In memory of Susannah, consort of Uzal
Tompkins. Aged 69 years. Died Jan. 25,
1817, and was attended with eight children
and nineteen grand-children at her funeral."
Many of the epitaphs are elegant and very
touching. The following verses, inscribed
upon the tombstone of "Our little Willie"
are truly beautiful : —
"There is another little hand
To heaven's sweet harpstrings given
Another gentle seraph's voice
Another star in heaven."
As no quotation marks were used I suppose
the poetry to be original.
One handsome stone bore only the words,
"Gone to Rest." One handsome monu-
ment was surmounted by a tastefull}' sculp-
tured dove —
" . . just on the wing for heaven."
A little stone upon which was carved a
rosebud just ready to burst with bloom was
inscribed, "Our little Laura." A similar
one in another part of the ground read,
" Our Lizzie." Near the latter was a marble
slab bearing only the words, "The Orphan
Boy," and farther on was another, inscribed
" Margaret, the Orphan." Upon one large
gravestone was sculptured a sailor, clad in
a short jacket and broad-brimmed straw hat
with a wide ribbon, weeping at a tomb al-
most hid from view by a weeping willow.
This stone was inscribed " My Mother's
Grave," and we can imagine that from time
to time the gallant tar who would erect so
beautiful and costly a memorial above the
ashes of his departed mother, will often re-
call the pleasant little nook where she re-
poses, when he is " rocked in the cradle of
the deep." far from his native land and child-
hood home ; and will recall the blessed
moments when he sat, a happy child upon
his mother's knee, and never dreamed of
sorrow or death sr ocean storms.
A number of slaves, as I believe, have
been buried here, but few of their resting-
places have been honored with headstones ,
The following is engraved upon a handsome
block of marble : —
"Cato. Died Oct. 1831. He was, for
nearly forty years, a faithful servant in the
family of D. Phoenix."
Some of the tombstones are in the form
of a cross, the letters I. H. S. being written
above the epitaph. Many of the old stones
have sunk so far in the ground that they
are almost invisible ; others have been
broken off and disfigured, and others still
have been worn away by the storms of a
century until their inscriptions are no longer
legible. Beneath one stone were placed the
bodies of a husband and wife who were mur-
dered, a short distance from Morristown, on
the same day, by a French servant whom
they had procured from the city only a short
time previous, and had selected on account
of his honest and preposses^sing appearance.
Upon a majority of the old stones are
wretchedly carved a death's head and cross-
bones. " Ye" for " the" and the old-fash-
ioned long " s" are often used. One stone
is inscribed as follows :
" Sacred to the memory of Elizabeth Ica-
eclo, wife of Moses Esty, who made her exit
Feb. n, A. D. 1793. Erected by her son,
Willi.im, the Rover."
This inscription, like that written by the
sailor is one very suggestive of thought.
When we remember at what an exciting
period in the history of our country and of
the world " The Rover" lived, we cannot
but suppose that his history was an event-
ful and an exciting one.
The oldest date that I could discover upon
a tombstone was 1722, but a friend informed
me that he found a stone dated 1713, so it
appears that this ground was used as a bur-
ial-place more than half a century before
the time of the Revolutionary War, and at
least a hundred and fifty years before the
present day.
Here beneath a handsome monument re-
poses the dust of the celebrated William
Alexander Duer, who was member of the
New York Legislature, Judge of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, author
of a treatise on the Constitutional Jurispru-
dence of the United States, and President of
Columbia College. He was born at Rhine-
beck, Dutchess County, New York, prac-
tised law for some time at New Orleans, and
died at Morristown, having been forced to
return North for the benefit of his health.

The question is frequently asked, " What

VI of the Constitution, which reads :
" Every woman of the Church shall be
considered a member of this society, who
by signing this Constitution or giving her
name to be affixed thereto, agrees to enter
into the work by attending as tar as possi-

her ability to promote its object."
OUR MANSE.
BY E. F. R. C.
It stands in finished beauty ; broad and firm
Are its foundations, strong its stately walls.
As fitted to endure through coming years.
A monument of Christian faith and zeal.
Within, the tinted light falls cheerily
O'er graceful arch and polished fioof, and
through.
The well-appointed rooms, like rainbow
hues
Of promise, betokening peace and joy ;
A fitting resting place for him who serves
This ancient Church of God.
But ah I to us,
Who hopefully have watched its rise and
end.
Above it rests a cloud, bright-edged, 'tis
true.
For all God's hidden ways are just and kind,
This change ot date has been made so | But dark with disappointment, and sur
that the ladies may have the pleasure of
meeting Mrs. Dr. Dennis, of Beyroot, who
will talk informally about the interests of
the Tripoli School, and other mission work
in Syria.
The meetings oi this society are increasing
in interest. A cordial invitation is ex-
charged
With bittergrief. The gentle presence.which,
We fondly hoped would grace the finished
home.
Is missing there ; the heart of home is gone .
Gone to a better dwelling, this we know,
A mansion far more fair ; 'tis not for her

We mourn, 'tis for ourselves alone. But now
The shadow deepens, as again the wing
Of the death-angel broods, this time above
The cradle of the home, the household
shrine.
Where stricken hearts find hope and com-
fort sweet
In loving homage. Soon the baby-tones
Are hushed, the shrine is broken, and fond
arms
Are empty, as the happy little soul
Leaps to the new-found mother's clinging
clasp.
And the sweet waxen form is laid to sleep
Among the summer flowers. And once
more
Alone, the smitten one gives meekly back
To God the precious legacy ol love,
And mutely bows beneath the added stroke.
Oh mystery supreme ! VVe vainly ask
" What does it mean ?" then make reply,
" God knows,"
Thus has our beauteous Manse been sancti-
fied.

Hallowed by tender memories, baptized
In sacred tears, and linked in holiest thought
With Heaven and white-robed angelhood

THE OLD CEMETERY.
SOME CORRECTIONS.
There was not room in our last number
to note and correct the errors in the article
entitled, " The Old Cemetery," which was
reprinted from an old newspaper clipping.
and it was thougrht best to give the article
entire, as it originally appeared.
Some of these corrections are here noted :
General Washington did not commune in
the old Church, which was used as a hos-
pital at the time ; but in the hollow, shaped
somewhat like a half bowl, a little to the
east and rear of the house now occupied by
Mrs. Eugene Ayers, on Morris street. This
•was then part of the parsonage property,
-which included nearly all the land now
bounded by the Green, South street. Pine
street, and the river. The present Church
was begun in 1791.
Peter Dickinson, or as the name was then
i^ommonly written, Dickerson, was born in
the year 1724. He came to Morristown with
three brothers, Thomas, Joshua and Daniel
and a sister EHzabeth, according to the
headstone. He was married to Ruth Coe,
2oth Oct,, 1745, He died on the loth of May.
1780, in his 56th year.
The Church has had but one pastor by
the name of Johnes. This was the Rev.
Timothy Johnes, pastor from 1742 till his
death in 1794. Several of Dr. Johnes' de-
scendants have been physicians here.
The soldiers that died with the small-pox
were buried in the Graveyard in trenches,
where the Lindsley vault now stands. When
this vault was out a great many brass
buttons were thrown out, and pieces of blue
cloth, parts of the uniform, have been turn-
ed up at even later dates.
The first wife of Moses Estey was Eliza-
beth Fearclo (not Icaeclo), who died loth
Feb., 1783, aet. 23. His second wife was
Ann, who died nth Nov., 1809, aet. 47 ; and
the stone bearing her name has the inscrip-
tion, "erected b)^ her son, William the
Rover."
It is a flat slab that marks the grave of
William Alexander Duer, in a lot surround-
ed by a thick hedge.
DR. WILLIAM A. McDOWELL,
PASTOR FIRST CHURCH, FROM I3 DEC, 1814,
TO 23 OCT., 1823.
[The following sketch is taken from one
entitled, " Sketch of an Eminent Jersey-
man — Rev. Dr. McDowell, The Revivalist —
by an old Journalist," which appeared in the
Jersey man, 23 Feb., 1883. — Editor,]
In writing a sketch of any eminent man,
it should be the aim of the biographer to
direct attention to the obstacles he had to
overcome in his youth in the pursuit of dis-
tinction, for sometimes young men are de-
terred from making any great effort at suc-
cess because of some physical weakness
which they fancy may prove a bar to their
advancement ; but when they are told how
this or that distinguished person rose to
fortune and position despite his frail consti-
tution or serious bodily ailments, they pluck
up courage and determine to do their best
to win the prize set before them.
We have written these introductory re-
marks to the biographical sketch of a rev-
erend gentleman whose career was a very
THE RECORD.

remarkable one, because of their especial fit-
ness to him. He was not gifted with a robust
physique, his health was never very good,
and his voice was far from oratorical, but,
notwithstanding every drawback, he was
enabled by his spirit, will and energy to
place himself in the front rank of preachers,
and become noted as a great revivalist.
It is true that the generation to which he
addressed himself has mostly passed away,
but the descendants of those who were
wont to listen to him with such close atten-
tion still recur with interest to the period
when he held sway over the religious com-
munities to which he preached. Many good
fathers and mothers were converted to the
cause of Christ during his memorable min-
isUy, and hence his name will ever be held
in reverence and respect.
William Anderson McDowell was born in
Lamington, N. J., on the 15th ot May 1789.
Up to the age of thirteen he was employed
on a farm, attending at intervals the gram-
mar school in the vicinity. About three
years later he entered the college of New
Jersey, from which he graduated in 1809.
In i8n, while a tutor in Princeton Col-
lege, his health became so poor that he was
advised to visit Savannah, Ga., with a view
of testing the experiment of a change ot
climate. In that city he was the guest of
the Rev. Dr. Koilock, and it was at this time
that 3^oung McDowell's gift for leading re-
vivals was developed. Though a mere boy
compared with Dr. Koilock, he took an ac-
tive part in the services at the latter's
Church, and such was the power of his ap-
peals to the crowded audiences in attend-
ance that, in a short time, a revival took
place, second to none in the Church annals
of Savannah.
In 1812 Mr. McDowell returned to his
native ^State. Resuming his studies at
Princeton, he remained there until 1813,
when he accepted a call to Bound Brook,
N. J. It wras about this time that he was
married to Miss Jane Koilock, daughter of
Shepard Koilock, Esq., of Elizabethtown.
While at Bound Brook, such was the popu-
larity he had already achieved, he was
called to Morristown and Flemington. He
chose Morristown, where he preached with
the greatest success until 1822, when his
health gave way, and he was advised to
visit the South. He journeyed as far as
Charleston, S. C, and derived so much bene-
fit from its mild climate, that in a little
while he felt strong enough to return to
Morristown.
But fate had willed that the North should
no longer have the benefit of his ministerial
labors, for his health soon again broke
down, and when he received a most pressing
call from a leading Presbyterian Church in
Charleston, where he had made hosts of ad-
mirers and friends, he felt constrained to ac-
cept it, though parting from his congrega-
tion in Morristown with great regret.
He was installed in Charleston in 1823, and
from that time, for years afterwards, was
distinguished for the numerous and spirit-
stirring revivals in which he was the leader.
But his fame was not limited to a single
city or State. Having occasion to visit
Georgia, his exhortations while there were
so effective that revivals took place where-
ever he preached. In truth he was known
all through that portion of the South as
" the great revivalist."
In 1827. Franklin College, Ga., honored
him with the degree of Doctor of Divinity,
and in 1832, he was elected Moderator of the
General Assembly, and in the same year
was chosen professor in the Theological
Seminary at Columbia, S. C. But Dr. Mc-
Dowell was averse to occupying so retired a
position ; he required a wider field of use-
fulness, and therefore he declined the very
flattering honor.
It was about this period that, in the lan-
guage of Dr. McDowell, "an awful cloud
hung" over the South, and particularly over
South Carolina. •* Nullification," or opposi-
tion to certain Federal laws deemed oppres-
sive, was the prevailing sentiment, and the
Doctor being a Northern man, was placed
in an embarrassing situation ; but such was
his attachment to the people of his Church,
and such his devotion to the cause of reli-
gion, that he remained steadfastly at his
post, secure in the confidence and affection
of those who had been so frequently wit-
nesses of his power as a revivalist. When
he did leave Charleston, to accept the posi-
tion of Secretary of the Board of Domestic
Missions of the Presbyterian Church, he
did so chiefly on account of his failing
health.
i8o
THE RECORD.
Passing over the intervening years, we
come to the year 1850, when Dr. McDowell
resigned the Secretaryship of the Board of
Missions and again visited Charleston,
where he was received with Jj^rally " open
arms," all eager to hear him once more in
the pulpit which he had filled with so much
ability and success.
In both public and private circles he was
the recipient of the most hospitable atten-
tions, and his sojourn in Charleston was
protracted far beyond the time fixed upon
for his stay. On his way back to the North,
he was cordially greeted in every place
where he tarried, showing that his fame as
a revivalist had not abated one whit.
Dr. McDowell, on his arrival home, con-
sulted hi"; former phys-ician concerning his
health, but little could be done for him, and
so the subject of this biography gradually
succubmed to the approaches of the great
destroyer and died from exhaustion on the
17th of September 1851. He was buried in
the town in which he was born.
It is related of Dr. McDowell that during
the summer preceding his death, notwith-
standing his feeble health, he preached with
much of his old-time vigor and earnestness,
and that his voice was clearer and louder
than it had been for some time before. How
grand those sermons were we can readily
imagine.
The success of Dr. McDowell shows to
every j^outh in the land what may be ac-
complished by those who are filled with the
same ambition — an ambition that nothing
could check, not even ill health, and that
finally won for him the marked distinction
of " the great revivalist."
MASTERING CIRCUMSTANCES.
" His example teaches," said Lincoln, in
his eulogy on Henry Clay, " that one can
scarcely be too poor but that it he will
he can acquire sufficient education to get
through the world respectably." Lincoln
himself illustrated the truth of his opinion.
He was the son of a poor pioneer, who had
a hard struggle to make a home in the
wilderness. There were no common schools'
but at intervals an itinerant teacher would
stray into a settlement, and announce that
he had come to teach " readin', writin' and
cipherin' " as far as the " rule of three."
Young Lincoln sat at the feet of several
of these " itinerants," until he had received
twelve months' schooling, and then he was
thrown upon his own resources. He used
to walk four or five miles to school, taking
" corn dodgers" with him {or his dinner,
and wearing a coonskin cap, cowhide-shoes,
and linsey-woolsey shirt and buckskin
breeches.
The boy was intensely fond of reading,
and would walk miles to borrow a book.
He was on the alert while reading to lay
hold of any passage that was worth retain-
ing. He would write it down on a shingle,
and keep it until he had secured a sheet of
p aper. Then he would copy it, and repeat
it, until it was lodged in his memory. Once
there, it remained, and in his manhood he
could quote Burns' poems from end to end,
having learned them when a youth.
Having borrowed Weem's " Life of
Washington" from a neighbor, he took it
with him to bed in the cabin-loff Reading
until his nubbin of candle had burned out,
he placed the book between the cabin-logs,
that it might be on hand at daylight. Dur-
ing the night it rained, and the boy on wak-
ing found the book wet through. Drying
it as well as he could, he went to the neigh-
bor's house, told him of the mishap, and as
he had no money, offered to work out the
book's value. Three days of corn-pulling
was the price agreed upon, and the boy be-
came the owner of the volume. The book
fascinated the youth ; he read it over and
over again, and mused over Washington's
career while following the plow. It stirred
his ambition, and he brooded over the ques-
tion, " Can I not become a doer of great
deeds ?" The brooding brought forth this
resolution : " I vrill go to the bottom of
ever5rthing I read or study." He carried
out that resolution until his death. His
manuscript " Book of Examples in Arith-
metic" illustrates this habit of learning
thoroughly. On one page, headed " Dis-
count," is written, "A Definition of Dis-
count," " Rules for its Computation," and
" Proofs and Various Examples."
After he had been admitted to the Bar, he
studied in the same thorough fashion Eu-
clid's geometry, in order that he might learn
how to prove a thing, and see when it was
proved. He practised writing until he
wrote a clear, neat, legible hand, and studied
the theory of surveying. " He was always
reading, writing, ciphering, and writing
poetry," saj^s one of the companions of hi»
boyhood.
Once, while a boy, he attended court,
where a Kentucky law)''er made an eloquent
speech in defending a man charged with
murder. The boy went home and dreamed
of courts. He got up mock trials, and de-
fended imaginary prisoners. That court
scene made him a lawyer, and he began
making speeches on political and other
topics. He would practice at all times, and
his father had to forbid speech-making dur-
ing working-hours. " For," said he, " when
Abe begins to speak, all the hands leave off
work, and flock to hear him."
Lincoln's life contradicts the common re-
mark that circumstances make the man.
He rose to eminence, yet his opportunities
were few and meagre. He rose by master-
ing circumstances, and by gratifying his in-
tense desire for learning and his habit of
learning thoroughly. To faith all things
are possible. Right purpose in youth i»
destiny. — Youth's Companion.

A SKETCH OF MAJOR JOSEPH MORRIS.
-^ BY SAMUEL HAYS, ST. LOUIS, MO.
Somewhere in the burial ground of the
First Presbyterian Church, Morristown,
THE RECORD.
183
New Jersey, lie the remains of Major Joseph
Morris, who greatly distinguished himself
in the Revolutionary War, and who is
known to have been actively engaged in
the French and Indian Wars of the Colonial
period. Not much is known of his c^igin,
but the belief has always been entertained
in the family that his original ancestor in
this country, was John Morris, who, it is as-
*s»rt9d, was a captain under Oliver Crom-
well. Investigation shows one of that name,
as having that rank, in the army of the
great Protector.
The line of descent so far as is claimed to
l^ known by the farraly is John, Daniel and
Stephen : the latter the father of Joseph.
We are strongly inclined to believe, after a
very careful scrutiny of all attainable evi-
dence, that Capt. John Morris who came
from New Haven, Conn., to Newark, and
who was High Sheriff of Essex County in
1700, was one of Major Morris' progenitors.
He is mentioned in the Connecticut re-
cords as '• possibly from England." He died
Oct. 22nd, 1749, aged 83 years. Of this stock
Daniel and Stephen were known to be con-
temporaries in 1742 in Baskinridge, N. J.
We are careful not to claim these as ances-
t6rs but the identity of names and residence
with what is known by the family of Joseph
Morris' immediate ancestors makes the
probabilities very great. This reference may
be the means of eliciting such facts as will
determine the question. We find in the
course of our inquiries that Daniel Morris
was one of several who conveyed by deed a
piece of land for Church purposes upon
which a meeting house was then standing,
February 8, 1731, in Baskinridge. He was an
elder of that Church ; and in 1758 was receiv-
ed by letter by the Church at Morristown
of which he was an elder from 1761 until
1767. From that 3'ear we lose all trace of
him. Stephen Morris, the son of Daniel had
four sons (including the subject of our
sketch) and five daughters. Through the
daughters' marriage the family became con-
nected with the Southards, Kitchells, Lewis,
Daytons and Predmores, all well known
families.
The Morris' had their home near Morris-
town. Maj. Joseph Morris was born in 1732.
Nothing whatever is known of his early
history, except that he was fond of adven-
ture, showing vindaunted courage and un-
wavering determination, in the midst of
dangers that would cause others to shrink.
He had a fair education, and in disposition
was unassuming and reticent in speech. He
was a man of herculean frame, over six feet
in height, and such facial charateristics, as
would indicate clearly, the iron will that
was the motor to all his actions. He had a
double rt>w otf t-^th, noted for th.eir size and
strength ; and stories have been handed
down, through his associates and decend-
ants, of some marvelous performances with
these, which, while possibly exaggerations,
sufficiently attest the great physical
strength with which nature had endowed
him.
On April 12, 1759, he was married to Han-
nah Ford by the Rev. Dr. Johnes, as ap-
pears bf the valuable records left by the
latter. Hannah Ford was the daughter of
Samuel Ford, a brother of Colonel Jacob
Ford, Senior. She had as brothers and sis^
ters Jonathan, father of the late Rev. Jno.
Ford, of Parsippany ; Samuel, who married
Grace Kitchel ; Demas, whose lands were
about a mile from Morristown on the Whip-
pany road ; Charity, who married Abraham
Kitchel ; and Eunice, wh'o married, first, Ste-
phen More, and second, [John] Scott. Her
mother Sarah was left a widow, and died
April 22, 1789, aged 80.
Several of the military commissions of
Major Morris, which the writer has seen
have been in possession, until within a few
years, of one of his immediate descendants,
but they cannot now be found. These com-
missions were stained with his blood, from
the wound received in the battle which ter-
minated his life. When he feU they were
found in a small worsted bag, which, sus-
pended from his neck, lay on his breast.
They showed his official rank in both the
Colonial and Revolutionary wars. In the
former, but little knowledge is had of his
exploits. We find in the Pennsylvaaia Col-
onial Records his deposition, sworn to be-
fore David Biddle, Notary, dated Philadel-
phia, August ^%, 1771. in which, at length,
(describing himself as from Morris Count3^
N. J.,) he relates the history of an expedi-
tion made from Easton, with a company of
men for the relief of some settlers " near
Wyoming' (now Wilkesbarre), who were
^

THE RECORD.
besieged in a block house by the Connecti-
cut people during what was known as the
Pennanite war. This is the only authentic
record of him that we can discover during
that period.
It is well established that in 1775, he
raised the first company in New Jersey for
the Revolutionary war in the village of
Whippany. His son Jonathan Ford Morris,
who was born March 21, 1760, was made en-
sign of the Company. His selection because
of his youth, being not quite 16 years old,
caused considerable dissatisfaction in the
Company. The record of this son through
the war, fully justified the selection.
The Company being assigned to Col.
Winds' Regiment, spent the winter of '75
and '76 in New York, and when the river
was free from ice, sailed in sloops for Albany.
From thence they marched to Lake
George, crossing it and Lake Champlain.
in boats to join the Canada expedition.
We have discovered some mention of
both father and son at Ticonderoga, in the
records of that period, but not suflScient to
enable us to give the history of their con-
nection with that ill-starred expedition
which terminated in the defeat of the Amer-
ican army, after almost unparalled suffering
and great loss of life, including the death in
battle of its gallant leader. General Mont-
gomery.
We can discover no trace of Major Morris
from this time until November 5, 1776, when
he and his command were ordered by Gen-
eral Sullivan to New Jersey for discharge,
the Company he had raised and commanded
having enlisted but for one year. Washing-
ton during the Winter had secured, by spe-
cial solicitation from Congress, the promo-
tion of Captain Daniel Morgan to a Colon-
elcy. Morgan reached Morristown about
the middle of April, in obedience to a sum-
mons from Washington, and was received
by the Commander-in-Chief with marked
kindness and consideration. The early mili-
tary career of the latter, had taught him
the value which might properly attach to a
select corp ol sharp shooters composed of
active, hardy men, accustomed to the woods
and skilful in the use of the rifle. The pre-
ceding campaign had presented many occa-
sions, forcibly suggesting the want of such a
corp, when its presence migbt have turned
the tide of battle. Colonel Morgan was in-
formed of this great want, and in pursuance
of orders, a body of five hundred picked
men was accordingly formed from the dif-
ferent Regimeats composing tke army.
The command of this corp was given to
Colonel Morgan, the Lieutenant Colonelcy
to Captain Richard Butler, while Captain
Joseph Morris was made its Major. There
are few readers of the history of the Revo-
lutionary war, who properly estimate the
very great service of this corp of select
men in the prosecution of that momentous
struggle. Washington, in his official reports
and correspondence, repeatedly bore testi-
mony to its value and expressed the utmost
confidence in its efficiency. There seemed
to be no other branch of the service upon
which he relied so much. And justly so,
for all of the officers named had already
achieved distinction, while those in com-
mand of each of the eight companies were
selected, by Morgan himself, from the army
at large, because of their peculiar fitness
for the positions assigned them. The same
remark will apply to the privates. The
whole force was composed of carefully se-
lected men, as was desired in its conception.
Washington under date of June 13, 1777,
writes to Morgan: — "The corp of Rangers
newly formed and under your command, are
to be considered as a body of Light Infantry,
and are to act as such, for which reason they
will be exempted from the common duties
of the line." From the time of its organi-
zation until about the middle of August
1777, this corp was actively engaged in a
number of battles and skirmishes in New
Jersey, in all of which it acquitted itself with
great credit. Washington, in reporting one
of these to Congress, says of them, " they
constantly advanced upon an enemy far su-
perior to them in numbers and well secured
behind strong redoubts." On August 16,
1777, they were ordered to the north to join
General Gates' army. Washington, in so
advising General Gates, observes : — " From
various representations made to me of the
disadvantages the army lay under, particu-
larly the Militia, from an apprehension of
the Indian mode of fighting, I have des-
patched Colonel Morgan with his corp of
riflemen to give assistance, etc. This corp I [
have great dependence on, and have no
doubt they will be exceedingly useful tol
you as a check given to the savages, andl
keeping them within proper bounds, willl
prevent General Burgoyne from getting in-l
telligence as formerly, and animate youif
other troops, etc."

MINUTE IN MEMORIAL
OF THE
REV. DAVID IRVING, D. D.
In view of the death on Monday,
the i2th of October instant, of Rev. David
Irving. D.D., for twenty years one of the Sec-
retaries of the Board of Foreign Mission'^,
and previously for ten years Pastor of this
Church ; Session discharges a sad but grate-
ful duty, in entering on their minutes their
appieciation of his personal worth and his
uniformly dignified ministerial bearing and
Chrisiian courtesy.
No page of the history of this venerable
Church, which has been blessed with so
manv faithful and earnest ministers, records
a more successful pastorate, so far as success
is to be measured by additions to the Church,
and especially by the development and cul-
tivation of a spirit of beneficence. There-
cord of his pastorate here will ever consti-
tute a living testimony to his zeal and faith-
fulness in the Master's service.
Of him it may be truly said that he obeyed
the e.x'hortation of the apostle, in feeding
the flock of God, taking " the oversight
thereof not by constraint but willingly, not
for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind, neither
as being lord over God's heritage, but being
an ensample to the flock," and we rejoice in
the assurance that " when the Chief Shep-
herd shall appeal" he "shall receive a
crown of glory that fadeth not away."

A SKETCH OF MAJOR JOSEPH MORRIS.
BY SAMUEL HAYS, ST. LOUIS, MO.
(Cotitimied from page 184.)
Washington also wrote to General Piat-
nam on the 16 : — " The people in the Nopth-
ern army seem so intimidated by the Indiijns,
that I have determined to send up Colonel
Morgan's corps of riflemen who will fight
them in their own way."
In a letter to Governor Clinton of the
same date, he says, speaking of the forward-
ing of Morgan's corps ; — "They are all chosen
men, selected from the army at large, well
acquainted with the use of rifles, and with
that mode of fighting which is necessary to
make theco a good counterpoise to th» In-
dians, and" they have distinguished them-
selves on a variety of occasions.
" I expect the most eminent services f»om
them, and I shall be mistaken if their pres-
ence does not go tar toward produciog- a
general desertion among the savages." It
would require great space to detail the part
borne by this wonderful body of men 1% the

several battles that culminated in the sur-
render of Burgoyne and his army.
Numerous histories, with song and story,
give ample evidence of its prowess at Sara-
toga.
In Wilkinson's memoirs, we find special
motition of Major Morris. Wilkinson was
Adjutant to General Gates, and speaks as
an eye witness. He says :— " Major Morris
with characteristic impetuosity being for-
ward in the pursuit." " He gallantly dashed
his horse through their ranks, riding over
the men, and succeeded amid a shower of
balls in effecting his escape." " I passed on
and met Major Morris, who was never so
sprightly as when under a hot fire." In the
battle to which these statements refer, the
cojps was formed in two lines, one being led
by Colonel Morgan, and the other by Major
Morris. Morgan's corps, in the events im-
mediately preceding Burgoyne's surrender,
lost 40 per cent, of its number in killed and
wounded.
On General Burgoyne's introduction to
Morgan after the capitulation he took him
warmly by the hand, and said, " Sir, you
co^imand the finest regiment in the world."
Under date of September 24, 1777, Washing-
ton wrote to Gates, that "if certain condi-
tions are favorable," Morgan's corps be re-
turned to him, to which Gates replied Oc-
tdfxeT 5th, describing the situation, "under
-which," he says, "your excellency would
not wish me to part with the corps, the army
of General Burgoyne are most afraid of."
On November I, 1777, Colonel Morgan re-
ceJTed from Gates instructions to march
southward to join Washington, in compli-
aiyi^ with the express orders of the latter.
It started immediately. Washington in his
letter of instructions to Colonel Alexander
Hamilton says, " I expect you will meet
Coionel Morgan and his corps upon the way
down. If you do, let them know how es-
sential their services are to us, and desire
the Colonel or commanding officer to hasten
his march as much as is consistent with the
he?alth of his men after their late fatigues."
Morgan reached Whitemarsh. near Phila-
delphia,the headquarters of the Commander-
in-Chief, November i8th, about 170 of his
corps being left in New Jersey, temporarily,
under Major Morris, to aid Lafayette in
some operations about Haddonfield. Under
date of November 26, Lafayette writes to
Washington from Haddonfield, a few miles
from Philadelphia, of a skirmish near that
place, each party numbering 350 men. He
says that on the preceding day "in an en-
gagement with the Hessians the brave
Major Morris with a part of his riflemen
sent them back and pushed them very fast.
I never saw men so merry, so spirited, so de-
sirous to go on to the enemy, whatever
forces they could have, as that small party
was in this little fight. I found the riflemen
above even their reputation."
In a report to Congress, Washington
writes from Whitemarsh, under date De-
cember 10, 1777, referring to an engagement
on the 6th between that place and Chestnut
Hill : — " We lost 27 men in Morgan's corps,
killed and wounded, besides Major Morris, a
brave and gallant officer who was among
the latter.
He fell, shot in the mouth by a bullet
which lodged in the back ot his neck. This
bullet was in the possession of the family
for a number of years and bore the impress
of his teeth.
In Graham's life of General Daniel Mor-
gan, this event is alluded to as follows :—
"Among the wounded but- beyond all hope
of recovery, was the noble hearted and in-
trepid Major Morris. This officer from the
soldier-like qualities displayed by him on a
variety of occasions has attracted the at-
tention and favor of the Commander-in-
Chief, and upon the organization of the
corps he was appointed its Major. He pos-
sessed a disposition the most kind and gen-
erous and a courage which no danger could
shake, no misfortunes could diminish. He
enjoyed the confidence and regard of all
who knew him, and by the officers and men
of the corps with whom he had shared the
glories and dangers of the war. he was deeply
beloved. His death which occurred a short
time after this encounter, excited universal
sorrow throughout the camp." He was
conveyed to Morristown, where he died Jan-
uary 5, 1778, aged 46 years. His sufferings
for thirty days, and especially during his re-
moval from the battle field to his old home,

sixty miles, with a total lack of those com-
forts so available in more recent times,

The following- letter, never before pub- dear sir, you know how long Congress waive
lished, was written by Lafayfjte to Lieu-
tenant Jonathan Ford Morris (the son of
the Major), at Morristown :
" At Camp, Dec. lo. 1777.
Sir :
It is with the greatest concern that I have
heard that Major Morris went from camp to
Morristown without surgeon to attend him.
I will be much obliged to you to let me
know immediately if he is well provided for
at this time, because I should send to him
a very good French surgeon belonging to
Count de Pulaski, whom the Count has
promised to me. I shall send at the same
time a servant of mine, very attentive, to
take care of the Major as long as you will
think him of some use. Be so good, sir, as
to let me know as soon as possible, if these
measures are to be taken and if I can serve
your father in some other ways. I hope you
will give me a very particular account of his
present state.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your most obedient,
The Marquis de Lafayette.
To Lieutenant Jonathan Ford Morris of
the Artillery at Morristown."
In Graham's life of General Daniel Mor-
gan, (to which we are greatly indebted), we
find another letter from Lafayette to Mor-
gan. This letter is dated 1777, and as it re-
fers to the Major's death, it must either
have been in confident anticipation of that
event or the year given is an error. He
certainly died January 5, 1778. It is mor©
likely that Lafayette made the common mis-
take in naming the old year, the new year
being but a few days old when Morris died.
1777.
" Dear Sir : — I just now received your fa-
vor concerningJour late friend. Major Morris,
and I need not repeat to you how much I
am concerned in the interests of his family,
I spoke the other day to his Excellency on
the subject, and I shall write to Congress a
very particular letter,whereyou will be men-
tioned. I intend to speak as in your name,
and that of all your corps, and as being my-
self honored with their confidence. It is
my opinion that a decent estate might be
given to the family as mark of gratefulness
any matter whatsoover before a decision, and,
as Mrs. Morris may be in some want before
that time, I am going to trouble you with a
commission which I beg you will execute
with the greatest secrecy. If she wanted to
borrow any sum of money in expecting the
arrangements of Congress, it would not be-
come a stranger, unknown to her, to offer
himself for that purpose. But you could
(as from yourself) tell her that you had
friends, who, being in the army, don't know
what to do with their money, and as they
are not in the mercantile or husbandry way,
would willingly let her have one or many
thousand dollars, which she might give
again in three or four years, etc., etc.
One other way could be to let her believe
that you have got or borrowed the money
from any town or body you will be pleased
to mention, or it would be needless to men-
tion where it comes from.
In a word, my dear sir. if with the great-
est secrecy, and the most minute regard for
that lady's delicacy, you may find a manner
of being useful to her. I beg you would
communicate to me immediately.
I shall, as soon as possible, let you know
the answer of Congress, whenever an an-
swer will be got, and in expecting the plea-
sure to hear from you, I have the honor to
be, very sincerely.
Your most obedient servant.
The Marquis de Lafayette.
Col. Morgan, of the Rifle Corps."
Major Morris' widow (Hannah Ford) sur-
vived him live years, dying at Morristown,
Oct. 12, 1783, of consomption. She was buri-
ed by the side of her husband.
In the proceedings of the New Jersey Coun-
cil, March i, 1780, it was "ordered that a
warrant do issue in favor of the said Han-
nah Morris lor the sum of twenty-five dol-
lars per month, being the amount of the
half-pay of her deceased husband during
her widerhood."
We have attempted no more in this
sketch than to give without embellishment
such facts in the history of Major Morris as
have been discovered in a very desultory
though protracted search, excluding many
traditions which may be exaggerations and
which are certainly wanting in the verities
essential to our purpose.
It is our hope that we shall have attained

are directly or collaterally related to the
subject of our sketch. We will be thankful
for further information, promising that it
shall be used, giving pr()per credit, in a
more extended effort at some future lime.
Since writing the foregoing narrative,
we have thought it appjepriate to add a
brief notice of Dr. Jonathan Ford Morris,
the son of Major Joseph Morris. He was
born in Hanover. Morris County, New Jer-
sey', March 21, 1760. In his sixteenth year
he was made ensign in his father's Revolu-
tionary company. He is spoken of as tall
and large, distinguished for his talent and
energy even at that early age. We get
traces of him at Ticonderoga early in 1776.
On March i, 1777 he was made Lieutenant
it) Proctor's Artillery, and was during the
^-ar also attached to Col. Stevens' Artillery.
W^hile with Proctor's ArSllery he was in
the battles of Bnandywine and Germantown,
and in the latter was conspicuous in the as-
sault upon Chew's House. He was aUo in
the battles of Princeton a«d Monmouth. In
the Summer of 1779 he was with a body of
Americans who intercepted the enemy un-
der the command of Col. Simcoe of the
Queen's Rangers, who made a raid for the
purpose of burning some boats on the Rari-
tan River. When near New Brunswick,
Simcoe was attacked by the Americans, who
had concealed themselves behind logs and
bushes. Simcoe was taken prisoner, his
horse being killed and hmiself stunned by
the fall. Simcoe's life was saved by Morris,
" who adroitly averted a deadly blow aimed
at him by one of the soldiers." Simcoe in
his journal recordsthe fact, and mentions the
further fact of his having been bled by Mor-
ris and receiving from him other necessary
assistance. Long after the war, when Simcoe
was Governor of Upper Canada. Morris re-
ceived a letter from him inviting him to
visit him at Toronto, and acknowledging the
kindness which he experienced at his hands.
He had resigned his commission in the
army on Nov. 28, 1778, at the solicitation of
his widowed mother. It appears from the
proceedings of Congress that a letter of that
date had been received from him tendering
his resignation as Lieutenant of Proctor's
Artillery. Early in 1779 he entered upon
the study of medicine under the instruc-
tions of Dr. Moses Scott, of New Bruns-
wick. He afterward studied under Dr.
Shippen, of Philadelphia, who was so im-
pressed with his abilities that upon the
completion of his studies he suggested a
partnership. Dr. Morris declined, but ever
afterward regretted his decision. March 1st,
1784, he married Margaret Smith Euen, of
Elizabeth. She was a decendant of R«r. Jno.
Harriman, ol the ist Presbyterian Church
Elizabeth, whose daughter married John
Hendricks, whose daughter married David
Smith whose daughter married a Euen :
the latter being the parents of the wife of
Dr. Jonathan Ford Morris. They had nine
children :
Joseph Euen Morris, born Nov. 10, 1785.
He died May 5, 1830, leaving a widow and'
six children in Steuben County. N. Y.
Wm. Cullen Morris, died an infant.
Wm. Cullen Morris (second), born Aug.
17, 1787. He died May 20, 1870. He was
a highly respected lawyer in Belvidere
for many years ; subsequently living in
Jersey City where he died, leaving four
sons and one daughter.
David Euen Morrit, the fourth son, was
born April 22, 1791. He died Sept. 24, 1870,
leaving a widow (his second wife), six sons
and three daughters in Michigan.
Edward Young Morris was born Sept. 5,.
1793. He died April 6. 1819, leaving- a widow
without children in New Jersey.
Wm. Patterson Morris was born Oct. 9,
1795. He died Sept. 21, 1842, leaving a widow
and two children in New York. His son
Edward now lives in Rahway, N. J.
Alexander Melville Morris was born Aug.
II, 1797. He died May 7, 1837, leaving a
widow and three children in Michigan,
Hannah Mary Margaretta Morris v/as
born April 24, 1799. She married Dr. By-
ington of Belvidere, N. J., and was left a
widow without children. She now lives
with her only surviving brother.
Rev. Jonathan Ford Morris, in Bushnell,
Ills., who lived for many years in Mendham,
N, J., and who is well-known as a retired
clergyman of the Dutch Reformed denomi-
nation, whose talents and high character
are recognized by all who know him. He
was born June 7, i8ci, and has had nine
children, five daughters and four sons — all
living but one son.
Dr. ; Jonathan Ford Morris practised
medicine with great success in the
region about Somerville for a number
of years. It is recorded of him that, "As
a citizen he was philanthropic and
public spirited. In company reticent, but
as a writer forcible and direct." He died
April 13, 1 810, aged 50 years. His widow died
February 12, 1844, aged 86 years. They were
buried in the old church yard in Bound-
brook and over their remains a suitable
memorial was erected.
In conclusion we find in a standard Eng-
lish authority (Burke) that the name of
Morris is of very great antiquity and is
known under various orthographies, among
others occur Morys, Moris, Morris, Morriss.
Mores, Morrice, Maurice, etc., compounded
with Fitz Clan, Mount, De, and various
other initial expressions. It is composed of
the Welsh words Mawr-ryce meaning "war-
like," " powerful in war." To this one of
the mottoes borne by the family of Morris
seems to have reference,
" Marte en Mart Faventibus."

THE RECORD
Is published monthly ; terms $i.oo a year, «i» advance.
Single numbers for any month, lo cents each.
Subscriptions should be made to Mr. James R. Voorhecs.
Matters pertaining to the publication should be addressed
to the
Editor of Thb Record.
Entered at the Post Office at Morristovn, N. J., as second
class matter.
PUBLICATION OF THE RECORD TO BE
STOPPED.
With this number the publication of The
Record will he discontinued, at least for the
present. At no time have the subscriptions
been sufficient to pay the cost of publica-
tion, and a point has now been reached in
the total arrearage at which it is wiser to
Stop than to go on. No debt will be left
and no call for help will be made, as contri-
butions, mainly from two persons, have al-
ready been received sufficient to cover all
deficiencies.
Subscribers who appteciate the amount of
genealogical and historical matter con-
tained in the Record as thus far published,
aside from the tabor which hat been required
to gather and prepare it, will be satisfied
with the result attained. This result may be
briefly stated as follows: ist. Historical
narratives of the Church and Town from
1742 to 1840; 2d, Biographical narratives
concerning some of the pastors and leading
men of former generations ; 3d, Reprints of
rare and valuable publications respecting
the Church ; 4th, A continuous copy of all
the matters of importance recorded in the
Minutes of the Parish, of the Trustees, and
of the Session, from 1742 down to 1882 ; 5th,
Complete lists of all the names recorded in
the various Registers of the Church, viz.,
those of Baptisms, of Communicants, of
Marriages and of Deaths, from 1742 down to
[Printed vith the Approval of the Session. 1
1815 ; together with the beginning of an al-
phabetical arrangement, printed nearly
through the C's, which includes all names
down to 1885.
It is hoped that it may be possible, before
long, to complete the printing of the Cona-
bined Registers, and some other matters.
In this case the monthly form will not be
resumed, but all additional pages will b« is-
sued at one time, and supplied free to old
subscribers, who may take the trouble to
send us their names and addresses before
Jan. 31, 1886.
DIRECTIONS FOR BINDING.
To those who desire to bind their Re-
cords at once, and do not wish to take the
risk and delay of waiting indefinitely for the
possible issue of additional pages, the fol-
lowing order is suggested as best calculated
to group parts that belong togther. It
should be remembered that no numbers
were issued during the year 1882 :
ist. All the numbers of Vols. I. and II.
pages 1 to 192.
2d. All the four-paged Supplements of
Vol. III., pages 193 to 240.
3d. Report and Roll for the year ending
7th April, 1884, pages 145 to 152, and issued
as a Supplement with May number of 1884.
4th. All the parts of Vols. III., IV. and
V. that bear the Title, each part containing-
eight pages in Vol. III., and only four pages
in Vols. IV. and V. ; running continuously
from page i to page 192.
- 5th. All the Supplements containing the
Minutes of the Session, the Trustees andl
the Parish for successive pastorates. The
first issue of these Was with the number for
January, 1884; from which time they were
issued every month until and including the
number for June, 1885; the last and com-
pleting part, foi the present, being sent out
this month. Each partcontains eight pages,.

a«d tile paging runs continuously from i to

6th, The parts of the Combined Regis-
ters. The first of these was issued, as an
extra Supplement, with the number for
February, 1885 , the next issue was with the
July number, from which time it appeared

continuous, from i to 48.
Particular ATTENTION is called to the fact,
that some of the Supplements have been
mc&trt£tly folded : care should be taken to
have these folded properly before binding.
In the set examined, this mistake was dis-
covered in the Supplements for May and
June, 1883, July, 1884, June and November.

WHO CAN TELL ? .
Diligent but futile inquiry has been made
to le«fn whether any of the persons named
beJow are now living, and^ if so, what their
present address may be. If the reader can
:giv© any information concerning any one
here named, a great favor will be conferred
by sending word to the Pastor of the
Church, Once before, after a similar list
had been published, it was casually discov-
ered that several could have given the in-

THE MANSE.
{From the Banner of May 21st, 1885.)
All the past winter and early spring we
have been watching with great interest the
building of the •' Manse" for the First Pres-
byterian "Church, and now that it has just
been finished and is in every way such a per-
fect and complete house, a short description
of it will be read with interest.
The beauty and quaintness of the exterior
reflects great credit upon the architect. It
is after the "Renaissance" style of architec-
ture, but with a great deal o^ originality.
The grey stone was quarried in Mendham,
and the buff trimming stone is from Berea,
Ohio. The whole effect of the building is
picturesque on account of its long sweeping
outline and sharp angles of roof and rough
stone work, relieved by graceful gothic
arches.
To enter the house we cross a broad en-
trance porch to the hall door, which is of
the old Dutch style, being cut in two in the
centre, allowing the upper half to open
while the lower half is closed, giving good
ventilation to the large reception hall. The
vestibule is finished in cherry and has a
large closet at one side for hats, umbrellas,
etc.
The reception hall is also finished in
natural cherry. The stairs at one end are
broad and of beautiful design, winding up to
the third story. The fire place in the hall is
built of pressed brick, and opposite this in
the recess of the stairs is an old-fashioned
8«at built in.sind upholstered with red leather.
The size of the hall is 9 feet 6 inches x 23
feet 6 inches.
The stair case and halls are lighted by an
immense stained glass window of beautiful
design, the central figure of which is the old
seal of the Churck, adopted by the Trustees
in 1788 — a sheaf of wheat within a maltese
cross, around which is lettered " First Pres-
byterian Church, Morristown, N. J.,
MDCCXXXIII." This window was built
with money raised by the Sabbath school,
and bears under it the legend, " By the
School of the Church/MDCCCLXXXV."
On the first floor to the left is a drawing
room. It has a hard wood floor of oak, but
all the rest of tko wood work, including the
mantel is of poIisb«d mahogany. This room
is lighted in front by an immense window,
partly of stained glass. The fire place cut-
ting off one corner of the room is very hand-
some with its elaborate mantel especially
designed for the room. All the mantels on
this floor, includinif that over the hall fire
place are ornamented with mirrors of heavy
bevelled plate glass, and they are specially
designed by the architect. This room is 15
feet X 18 feet 4 isckts.
The dining room is large and bright. It
is all finished in "quartered oak" with a
high wainscoting; The bay window has a
screen of wood-work over the upper part.
The mantel of this room is hand-carved in
fruit and floral pieces. Its size is 15 x 20
feet 6 inches.
The library is treated in Louis Quatoze
style. The floor ii of maple, but the re-
mainder of the wood-work is painted a
creamy white. The corner mantel is white
to correspond, and has seats at each side of
the fire-place. Th« impression that this room
gives at first is quaintness, making a pleasing
relief and contrast to the rooms connected
with it. Its size is 12 feet 6 inches x 13 feet
6 inches.
All the rooms on the first floor open into
the reception hall by large double rolling
doors so that the whole floor can be thrown
open when occasion requires.
The kitchen is large and light and has
several roomy closets. A fully equipped
butler's pantry •onnccts the kitchen with
the dining room, so that the kitchen is
really isolated from the living rooms of the
house, yet <H»tir©ly convenient to them.
The size of the kitchen is 13 x 15.
In the rear of the kitchen is the laundry,
a fine large room thoroughly furnished for
the business intended.

THE RECORD.
In a brief description we cannot do justice
to the work. The wood-work of this floor
is really a cabinet finish, the large amount
of panel, spool and other work blending
superbly. The door knobs «nd hinges are
of brass, and altogether the work is harmo-
nious and pleasing.
On the second floor, OT«r the drawing
room, is a large convenient study, the walls
lined with book shelves. This room, as well
as all the bed rooms in the house, has a
roomy comfortable closet. Besides this
room there are three large bed rooms, a
dressing room and bath room on this floor.
Two bed rooms and the dressing room con-
nect, making a very handsome suite.
The wood-work in the bath room is oak.
and all the plumbing work is particularly
fine, every trap being ventilated and the
work is sanitary in every respect. All the
bed rooms on the second floor are provided
with open fire places and originally designed
mantels, a plaster-work feature forming
panels and richly colored, being something
new.
There are four fine bed rooms and a trunk
room on the third floor. All the bed rooms
are finished in pine, oiled, and all have large
closets. The three halls are large and roomy,
and yet there is no lost space in the build-
ing. The thickness of the walls form deep
recesses for the windows and admirable
space for inside blinds. The house is heated
by furnace, as well as open fir« places.
In no part of the building can it be said
that convenience has been sacrificed to
beauty, yet there is nothing to mar its archi-
tectural perfection, whether we consider the
interior or exterior. Mr. Louis R. Hazeltine,
the architect, has received many deserved
compliments on his work, as a whole, as
well as for the care and attention he has
paid to every little detail, and the work cer-
tainly does him an honor that will prove
lasting.
Messrs. Schenck& Young, the carpenters.
Sturges Brothers, who did the stone and
mason work, T. B. Pierson, the plumber,
and Thatcher, the decorator, have all done
their work well, as a critical examination
will prove, all having aided in the erection
ot a building that will prove an ornament to
Morristown as well as a graceful and sub-
stantial addition to the First Church prop-
erty. The cost of the Manse is about
Si 8,000.

ANNIVERSARY. 29th SEPT., 1843.
BY WHOM WAS IT COMPOSED ?)
Almighty God, great King, draw near.
Where Thou, with love, hast often heard
Our Fathers' voice of praise and prayer,
And blest, with power. Thy gracious word.
A hundred years have roll'd away,
Since here, in faith, they first did raise
An altar to the Lord. To-day,
Their sons would lift their voice in praise —
And tell of wonders God hath done,
To magnify His gracious name
In saving souls, who else had gone
To everlasting grief and shame.
Here Thou hast made the listening throng.
Imbibe Thy saving truth and love —
Here pardoned rebels joined the song
Of sinless seraphim above.
Still, let Thy word melodious sound,
And spread celestial bliss around,
'Till all shall humbly seek Thy face,
And joy in Thine abounding grace.

The Session of ye Ch. at Morris-Town
met Decem'r 22. 1783. lor the purpose of
setling certain differances between Mr. &
Mrs. C*, & Dan'l T*, present ye Rev'd
Mess'rs Jno. Elmer & John Juline with John
Cary one of yr Eld. who attended according

Session having been opened by Prayer Mr.
Elmer w's chosen Mod'r & Mr. Juline elk. —
The parties at variance being present Mr.
C* delivered in to ye Session a letter which
he had received from Mr. T* in which were
contained Charges against Mr. C* & his
wife in the
1 Place Mr. T* accuses Mr. C* of
wrongfully asserting that Mr. T* had sent
his wife Children away & could not let them
live with her altho' Mr. C* offered to give
him w't two men should think it worth.
2 That Mr. C* was guilty of immoral con-
duct in neglecting & refusing to get his wife
a Cupboard & pair of Buckles & some Tea
spoons
Mr. T* accused Mrs. C*
1 of denying yt Mr. C* had agree'd to get
the Cupboard Buckles & Spoons in the
room of 10 pounds w'h he kept for that
purpose
2 of wrongfully asserting that he Mr. T*
knew his wife had given away her third of
Land before Marriage
3 of wrongfully asserting that his wife
suffered in sickness & had nothing for her
comfort because he was so cross yt he
would not let her have it
The parties being heard their evidences
sworn & examined the Session after mature
deliberation cam.e to the following conclu-
sions
As to the first part of the first Charge
Viz that Mr. C* had wrongfully asserted
that Mr. T* had sent the Children away &
[i ]First appearance ol the second Deacon Prudden.
would not let them live with her, Mr. C*
acknowledged yt he had asserted this, but
proved 3^t he iinmediately owned his mistake
as he had forgotten until! reminded by Mrs.
C* that they had taken the Children away
them selves As to the latter part of
this Charge that Mr. C* had not offered as
he asserted he had. to give him for keeping
the Children what two men should think it
worth, it did not appear to the Session to
be supported As to the 2d Charge
against Mr. C* of his being guiltj' of im-
moral conduct in neglecting & refusing to
get his wife a cupboard Buckles & tea
spoons the Session do not Judge it suffic-
iently supported The i Charge against
Mrs. C*, Mr. T* did not insist upon The
2d Charge viz her asserting that he knew
his wife had given away her third of Land
before Marriage Mr. T* might not know yt
circumstance before Marriage, yet it appear-
ed to ye Session yt Mrs. C* had so much
reason for her assertion that she was not
worthy of Blame for what she said
with respect to the last Charge against Mrs.
C* viz her asserting yt Mr, T*'s wife suffer-
ed in sickness & had nothing for her com-
fort because he was so Cross yt he would
not let her have it, Altho Mrs. T* might
have suffered dureing her illness yet consid-
ering ye circumstances of Mr. T* Family,
The Session are of opinion yt she did not
suffer thru' her husbands default or neglect,
excepting in ye instance of his refusing
Mrs. C*'s assistance when much needed,
for which he was greatly to blame & ye con-
duct gave Mrs. C* good reason to accuse
him of Moroseness in ye respect above men-
tioned. In the course of the trial it appear-
ed to the Session yt Mr. T* had repeatedly
cast some very unchristian & unbecoming
reflections upon Mrs. C*'s moral character
for which he stands reproved
And moreover ye Session are of opin-
ion yt Mr. T* is very culpable in giving
him selfe & others so much troble & dis-
tuibance about Matters in them selves of
no great importance
— however they are disposed to attribute
it to his inexperience & unhappy prejudices
rather than to ye vitiousness of his heart
Finally, ihe Session with a deep felt sense
of love& affection to the contending parties
& the peace & honour of the Ch. of Christ do

that neither of them have been guilty of any

Mr. President from the committee ap-
pointed (14th Oct. '88) to settle accts with
the Rev. Doct. Johnes, reported that Mr.
Mills and himself had proceeded in the set-
tlement, but after having gone thro' the
Doct. suggested some difficulties about it &
to prevent it he was willing to accept the
tax bills or duplicates and subscriptions
(made for his salary) as they now stand and
would take tht; whole risk of collecting it
and the losses that may be sustained there-
on in full for the present & all preceding
years salary and discharge the parish there-
from, provided the Trustees will appoint
some person or persons who shall at the ex-
pense of the parish go thro' the same & use
their endeavors to obtain the cash or notes
of the several subscribers or persons taxed
& deliver the same to him. On motion
whether the doctors proposal be agreed to,
it passed in the affirmative — and thereupon
Deacon Allen & Mr. Johnson were appoint-
ed to go to everj'^ person within the parish
and indebted either on the subscriptions or
duplicates (except Thomas Miller who for
his service in making the assessments is to
be discharged from the taxes laid on him)
for the salary afores.iid — & after they shall
have performed the business & delivered the
money or notes by them collected to the
Rev. Dr. Johnes or his order, they shall re-
ceive of the parish a reasonable compensa-
tion for their trouble.
Deacon Allen & Mr. Johnson who were
appointed (in June, 17S8) to carry subscrip-
tions thro' the parish to get a sufficient sum
subscribed for building a new meeting house
— reported that they had presented the sub-
scriptions to the greatest part of the people
of this parish — they then laid the subscrip-
tions before the Board. It appeared that
there was a sufficient sum subscribed for in-
closing a house of timber according to the
estimate heretofore made, whereupon the
Board agreed to lay the same before the
parish at their first meeting, and that Mr.
President wait on the Rev. Doct. Johnes,
and request him to appoint a day of meeting
for that purpose, and to preach a sermon on
the occasion.
December nth, 1789.
At a meeting of the congregation of the
first presbyterian church in Morris Town
(at the request of the Trustees) on the nth
day of December, 1789, to instruct the Trus-
tees respecting their proceedings in building
a new meeting house or appoint a commit-
tee to direct the s'd building, & the con-
gregation having met, the Rev. Doct. Johnes
preached a sermon on the occasion and then
the congregation proceeded to business.
Presid't Condict opened the business of the
day.
Voted that Deacon Allen serve as Mode-
rator of this meeting. That Joseph Lewis
serve as Clerk. A motion was made for ap-
pointing a committee to superintend the
building a new meeting house, as there was
now a sum subscribed sufficient to provide
materials, raise & inclose the same. Elder
Phillips, Elder Condict & others objected, &
alleged the old house would do for a number
i>f years with some repairs— after some de-
sultory debates a vote was taken — whether
we should repair the old, or build a new
meeting house & there appeared a large
majority for building a new house — after one
3^ear.
Deacon Prudden, Mr. Kinney and others
proposed that a vote should again be taken,
whether the house should be built of Brick
or of Timber, & the votes being taken there
appeared to be a large majority for building
of Timber.
The congregation then proceeded to elect
a committee to consist of three persons who
should employ workmen, provide materials
& superintend the said building & it was
agreed that if any of the Trustees were ap-
pointed to serve in the committee their
place in the Board of Trustees should be
considered as vacant — & the votes being
taken by poll there appeared a majority in
u
PASTORATE OF REV. TIMOTHY JOHNES. D.D-
favor of Moses Estey, Joseph Lewis & Dan-
iel Phoenix. Jun.
A motion was made for some general in-
structions to be given the committee re-
specting the size of the building, where it
should stand, what it should be inclosed
with, &c. The congregation declined giving
any instructions at present but impowered
the committee to appoint a meeting of the
parish at some future time for that purpose —
then adjourned.
Jan. 25, 1790. — At a meeting of the Parish
on the 25th of Jan., 1790, for the purpose of
giving Rev. Mr. Collins a call to serve the
congregation as an assistant to Rev. Dr.
Johnes in the Ministry.
"Voted, That Deacon Allen serve as
Moderator; That Joseph Lewis serve as
Clerk.
Voted, Unanimously that the Rev. Mr.
Collins be requested to serve the congrega-
tion as an Assistant to the Rev. Dr. Johnes
in the Ministry, and that he shall receive
beside the use of ihe House and Parsonage
and fire Wood a Salary of one hundred and
thirty pounds for the first year and one hun-
dred and forty pounds for the second and
one hundred and fifty pounds annually
thereafter so long as he shall officiate in the
said congregation.
Voted, That the said Salary be raised as
the Law directs State Taxes to be raised ex-
cepting that three assistants or supervisors
should be annually appointed by said parish
whose duty it should b^ to make such abate-
ments and alterations from the strict rules
ot Law as to them shall seem just and equit-
able in consideration of the distance of resi-
dence of some of the Parishioners from
the place of worship, or for particular mis-
fortune or embarrassment of circumstances.
And voted that Silas Condict, Esq., Jona-
than Stiles, Esq , and Jonathan Ford be ap-
pointed for the above purpose for the first
year.
The Moderator presented a paper from
the Rev. Dr. Johnes in the words following,
viz :
" Whereas, God in his Providence has
been pleased to disenable me in a great
measure for performing the duties incum-
bent on a minister for so large a congrega-
tion as the one now in my charge, and it
appearing necessary for the accommodation
and benefit of the congregation that some
other person should be employed in the
Ministry as an assistant or otherwise, and
Providence at present apparently having
opened a door for such supply, and it being
my desire that peace and harmony with which
we have been so long been blessed should
continue, and least it should appear burden-
some to my people to support more than
one Minister, I do freely relinquish the obli-
gation now subsisting between my people
and myself from the time that another min-
ister shall be settled here and his salary
commence. Notwithstanding this resigna-
tion I am content to assist in the sacred
work of the ministry so far as God shall en-
able me, and it shall be acceptable to the
people, and shall entirely submit to the dis-
cretion and generosity of my people to make
me such compensation for the same as to
them shall seem meet."
Voted, That an address containing the
thanks of the Society be presented him in
the words following, viz :
The congregation sensible of the long and
faithful services which the Rev. Dr. Johnes
has rendered this congregation by his care
and prudence as a minister and the blessings
they have been favoured with by means of
his administration. Voted, That the thanks
of the congregation be presented to the Dr.
for such his services and for the friendh'^
and benevolent manner in which he hath
been pleased to relinquish the obligation
subsisting between him and his people and
for his kind oflFer of future assistance — and
that Silas Condict, Esq., and Deacon Allen
wait on him and inform him of this Vote.
That the members of the congregation now
present will endeavor that a generous com-
pensation shall be annually contributed so
long as his assistance and direction shall by
a kind providence be continued.
Voted, That the same persons wait on
Rev. Mr. Collins, inform him of the deter-
mination of the congregation and request
his answer.
Voted. That the Trustees hire a house for
Rev. Mr. Collins, and that the same be levied
on the people in the same tax with the salary.

RECORDS OF THE TRUSTEES AND
PARISH.
Feb. I, 1790 —At a meeting of the Tjus-
tees at the house of Jos. Lewis present.
The president Mr. Lindsly, Mr. Ford. Mr
Mills and Mr. Johnson.
In consequence of the vote of the Parish
meeting the 25th ult. the Trustees prepared
an obligation for the Rev'd Mr. Collins'
Salary and house rent in words following —
viz.
Whereas on the 25th day of January 1790
at a parish meeting for that purpose ap-
pointed, it was unanimously voted that the
Rev, Aaron Collins should be employed as
a minister of the gospel of the first Presby-
terian Church and Congregation in Morris _
town and that the said Mr. Collins should
have besides the use of a house and parson-
age and fire wood, as a salary the sum of
one hundred and thirty pounds for the first
year, and one hundred and forty pounds for
the second year, and the sum of one hun-
dred and fifty pounds annually thereafter so
long as he shall continue to do the duties
of a minister to the said Congregation, and
it being also voted that the said salary to-
gether with the money foi the hire of a
house for the said minister, should be raised
and levied upon the parishioners by the
way ot a tax as the law directs the State taxes
to be raised excepting that three assist-
ants or supervisors should be annually ap-
pointed by the Parish, whose duty it should
be to make abatements and alterations from
the strict rules of law as to them shall seem
just and equitable in consideration of the
distance of residence of some of the parish-
ioners from the place ot worship or for par-
ticular misfortune or embarrassment of cir-
cumstances. Therefore we the subscribers
sensible of the general utility and vast im-
portance to ourselves and posterity of sup-
porting the gospel, and being desirous that
unanimity may subsist and continue, and
that the burden of such support may be
borne as equitably as possible and hoping
jointly to participate in the advantages and
blessings of the Gospel ministry, do hereby
bind ourselyes to pay the sums that shall be
so assessed and levied upon us annually to
commence from the ist day of March one
thousand seven hundred & ninety, unto the
said Aaron Collins, or to such person or
persons as shall by the said parish be ap-
pointed to collect or receive the same, and
that during the time he shall continue to
officiate, and do the duties of a minister to
said congregation, and we continue to be
members thereof, or until the mode of pay-
ment shall be revoked or altered by plurality
of voices of the said Parishioners.
In witness whereof we have hereunto set
our hands this first day of Feb. 1790.
The trustees also proposed a subscription
for the Rev. Doct. T. Johnes' salary in the
words following, viz.
Whereas, The Rev. Doct. T. Johnes in con-
sequence of his being by divine Providence

disenabled at least in part of performing the
duties of a minister of the Gospel to the
people of his charge, and they by his con-
sent and advice having agreed to employ
another minister to assist and perform the
duties of the Gospel ministry to the said
people, and the said Doct. Johnes having
generously relinquished the obligation his
people were under to pay him his stipulated
salary at the same time kindly offering to
serve and assist by his counsel & adminis-
tration, as far as God shall enable him in the
sacred work of the ministry. We the sub-
scribers being sensible not only of his past
long and faithful services to our Fathers
and to us, and the blessing we have there-
by enjoyed, but also of the need we still
stand in of his pious advice and instruc-
tions, do cheerfully agree and pronoise to
pay to the said Doct. T, Johnes or order the
sums severally affixed to our names and that
from the time the other minister shall com-
mence, annually, so long as the said Doct.
Johnes shall continue to render such, his
advice and assistance to the said congrega-
tion, or until we shall each fgr himself with-
draw this our consent and choice of reward-
ing virtue.

not who to direct to, but if I understand the
Subscription, the Subscriber is at liberty at
the end of every year to declare of from
Mr. Collins, if so the second year ends next
March ; I declare of from paying any fur-
ther Salery to Mr. Collins as a preacher than
two years, and further: if his subsistance
as a preacher depends on the trustees to the
congregation, I declare off and mean to ap-
ply to the Presbytery to silence or discharge
said Collins from Morris Congregation as a
preacher. This notification I give in be-
half of myself and the Congregation. I re-
main Gent'n. Your humble Serv't, Jacob '
Arnold.

contents of said letter, it passed in the neg-
ative. On motion, it is resolved, that this

to act in behalf of this Congregation in a
matter of so great importance and that so
essentially affects their interests and happi-
ness, without their knowledge or consent
& contrary to their desire, is altogether un-
justifiable, and that he the said Jacob Arnold

tion, be read.
Whereas, the Rev. Mr. Collins has re-
quested to be dischaiged from this Church
and congregation as their pastor, and at the

period when his salary should terminate,
and the church and Congregation having
maturel}' considered the same. Resolved
that they agree to his proposition for a
separation frorn him as their pastor. Re-
solved, that the Trustees take charge of the
parsonage & that they settle with Mr. Col-
lins with respect to that part thereof which
contains the nursery of mulbery trees agree-
able to justice at theirdiscretion. Resolved,
that Silas Condit, Jacob Arnold, Caleb Rus-
sell, Gilbert Ailing. Joseph Prudden. Benj.
Lindsley, Jonas Phillips, Jonathan Stiles,
Joseph Lewis, Matthias Grain, Dr. Wm.
Campfield & Timothy Johnes, Jr., be a com-
mittee to ascertain and settle with Mr.

Resolved, That the Deacons and Elders of
this church be a committee for supplying
the pulpit — that the said committee be au-
thorized to employ any person duly quali-
fied to preach the Gospel whether as Sup-

than three months. & in order that such
service be duly rewarded, the said Conimit-
tee are directed to prepare and present a

supplies or Candidates, including the service
already performed by the Rev. Mr. Baldwin,

gregation— that such remaining sum shall
be disposed of as the Congregation shall
hereafter direct. & the sd. Committee are
directed to keep an accurate account of
their receipts and disbursements & lay the
same before the Congregation whenever
thereunto required, and, whereas it becomes
us as proiessing Christians always to take
notes of & wisely improve the dispensations
of Divine Providence & as it is abundantly
evident that God is now frowning on us as
a Congregation, not only in permitting our
pastor to conduct unbecoming his character
and profession, but also in suspending
those divine influences which are absolutely
necessary to the being & continuance of
Christian Love and Unity, the lamentable
consequences of which obviously appear
in the recent divisions & animosities that
take place among us, with this view of
our situation and in the same measure sensi-
ble of our guilt and vileness, our lukewarm-
ness, sloth & want of Zeal in the cause of
Religion, and of the justice of God in his
dealings with us. and ot our entire depen-
dence on him for every degree of grace,
wisdom and prudence ; we think it proper
and do agree to set apart the day of
this as a day of humiliation, fasting
and prayer to Almighty God that he would
pour out his Spirit upon us and grant us
that penitent & forgiving temper of mind
that may dispose us to peace and union and
that he would direct us in the path of duty
in our future endeavours for the settlement
of the ministr\' and perpetuating the Ordi-
nances of the Gospel amongst us.

he shall be paid at the rate of four hundred
and forty dollars per annum in quarterly
payments, with the use of the parsonage
lands near the meeting house, excepting the
small lot that contains the nursery of mul-
berry trees, and it being also voted that the
said sallary should be raised and levied by
the parishoners by way of tax as the law
directs the state taxes to be raised, except-
ing that four assistants or supervisors an-
nually chosen to assist the assessor whose
duty it shall be to make such abatements
on the tax of individuals as to them shall
seem just and equitable in consideration
of their being in debt or any particular
misfortune or embarrasment of circum-
stances.

the general utility and importance to our-
selves and posterity of supporting the Gos-
pel and being desirous that unanimit)' may

gation, or until this mode of payment shall
be -revoked or altered by a majority of the
said parishioners, provided that any sub-
scribers may within three months after
the expiration of any year erase his name

invite the Ministers & chh's of Hanover
and south Hanover to join with them in
this duty, at some place, or places, contigu-
ous to each congregation. The first meet-
ing they agreed should be held at Jonathan
Fords, the 2d Tuesday of Sep'r next at 2
o'clock in the afternoon.
Sept. 17, 1798. A petition was niade by
John B, to the session, for their advice
concerning the propriety of his being mar-
ried to Polly A. a member of this chh.
while he was not legallj'^ divorced from his
former wife. Upon mature deliberation the
session were of the opinion that in present
circumstances it would be improper tor him
to prosecute his intention of marriage, and
advised him to desist untill he should
obtain a divorce from his former wife ac-
cording to the laws of this state. Mr. Rich-
ards & Mr. Phillips were appointed to con-
verse farther with him and with Polly A.
on this subject.
Deacon Allen reported that he had con-
versed with the wife of Mr. C. concerning
her neglect of the public worship and the
Lord's Supper, and that she excused herself
by saying that she had no clothes which
would be decent to wear in public. Deacon
Allen and Mr. Crane were appointed to con-
verse farther with her on this subject, and
endeavour to convince her that her excuse
was insufficient, as her want of clothes was
to be attributed, in a great measure, to her
want of care and industry and to her extrav-
agant use of opium. [Suspended Aug. 12.
1800, for intemperance and neglect of ordin-
ances.]
Feb. 5, 1799. Abagail P. a member of
this church, being present agreeably to a
citation delivered her by Mr. Cutler, was
enquired of by the session why she neg-
lected public worship and the special ordin-
ances of the gospel. To whh she replied
that she considered herself as persecuted by
the session, and that this made it proper for
her to absent herself from public worship,
agreeably as she supposed to a command of
Cht's, " When you are persecuted in one
city, then flee ye to another." After much
time was spent in endeavouring to convince
her of her error, and dispose her to her duty,
she was asked if she had anything further
to offer ; she replied that she had not: but
that she Still remained unconvinced, and

A.ug. 19, 1799. Amos P. agreeably to a
citation whh had been given him, appeared
before the Session, and acknowledged that
he had been guilty of the sin of iniemper-
ance alledged against him by public fame,
and professed his grief and sorrow there-
fore. Upon whh the Session resolved, that
as his offence had been of an open and
flagrant kind, whereby the cause of religion
had been much dishonored ; he be required
to make a public confession of his sin and
his penitence before the congregation ; and
that the Moderator be requested to draw up
a confession suitable to this case, and lay it
before the Session for their inspection next

sion that I. C. a member of this chh, lived
in neglect of family prayers, and was guilty
of unkind treatment towards his wife —
whereupon the session agreed that he should

meeting, and that Mr. Phillips be appointed
to deliver the citation.
Thursday, Mar. 24. 1803. Mr. Crane re-
ported that the committee of whh he was a
member had examined the Treasurer's ac-
counts of the communicants' fund, and
found them kept with care, and that the
Treasurer would lay a statement of his accts
before the session at their next meeting.
Ju ne 6, 1803. The Moderator having in-
formed the session that John L. had not
complied with the order of the session,
made in his case the 24th of March last, by
confessing his sin before the congregation ;
and the session, hearing from another source
that the said L. had fallen into the sin ot
intemperance since that period, therefore
resolved, that he be cited to appear before
this Judicature at their next meeting, to
assign his reasons for neglecting the duty
prescribed in his case, and also to answer to
the charge of intemperance into whh it is
publicly reported he has fallen since the
above mentioned date. Mr. Munson was

due to the communicants of this chh, the
sum of two hundred and fifty dollars, in-
cluding all the monies collected to this day

tions; which sum, by agreement, is to lie
in the hands of the treasurer and to be con-
sidered as drawing interest from the date
hereof, June 6th, 1803.
Dec. 19, 1803. Naney B. who had fallen
into the sin of antenuptial fornication, and
thereby greatly dishonored her christian
profession, appeared before the session, and
expressed a desire to make such satisfaction
for her offence as the gospel of Christ re-
quired. Whereupon the session, having
good hopes or her repentance, resolved that
she be permitted to make a public confes-
sion of her sin and her penitence for the
same, on Friday, the 30th instant, immedi-
ately after the lecture preparatory to the
Lord's supper ; and, that upon her doing
this, she be restored to the communion and
fellowship of the chh, from which, by her
offence, she has been sometime debarred.

(which see,) when the elders were first
made a committee with the Minister, to ex-
amine candidates, and the names of candi-
dates first appear in the Minutes, it has
been the invariable practice in the Rolls to
date the admission of communicants on the
Sunday when they made public confession
of faith, irrespective both of the time of
their admission by the Session and of the
fact of previous baptism. In this instance
the Roll dates the admission .of Mr. and
Mrs. Miller on Aug. 18 ; but that of those
examined and passed at this same meeting,

" Whereas, the General As'by have re-
" peatedly enjoined it on the inferior Judi-
" catories, to take the most effectual meas-
" ures, to obtain complete reports of the
" number of communicants and the persons
•' baptised in the several congregations ;
" and whereas, also, the synod has required
" them to attend to this business ; and this
" Pby has repeatedly enjoined it on the
"church sessions under its care to be
"punctual in sending up to Pby their an-
" nual reports on these subjects ; the Pbj'
" feeling the importance of this subject,
" regret that some of their sessions still
" sometimes fail to make these reports.
"Wherefore, Resolved, that it be again
" strictly enjoined on the Sessions under
" the care of this Pby to be careful punctu-
" ally to send up annually to Pby, at their
" stated fall sessions, reports on these sub-
" jects agreeably to blank form No. i., pre-
" sented by the General Assembly, and the
" Stated Clerk is hereby directed to trans-
" mit to all our church sessions an extract
" of this minute ; and the church sessions
"are hereby directed to enter this extract
" upon their session Books.

Meeting of the Trustees at Esquire

Meeting of Trustees, all present ex-
cept Mr. Tucker; met at Mr. Coes, 29
May. 1807.
Voted that Mr. Mills and Mr. Pierson be
a committee for the purpose of waiting on
the board of chosen freeholders. & to in-
form the board that the trustees request
them to relinquish the rent due from Moses
Estey for the privilege & use of the land on
which his store is placed, adjoining the
Court House, & to present them with a
writeing in the following words or to that
effect, viz.; Morris town, 29 May, 1807. To
the board of chosen freeholders tor the
County of Morris, we. the Trustees of the
first Presbyterian Church at Morris town,
would again solicit your attention to a mat-
ter we think of Sufficient importance. The
board will remember that some time in the
year 1805 we addressed you with a few lines
in which we remonstrated against the erect-
ing of a building at the West end of the
Court House, which was then goeing on.
For two reasons we requested that Said
building might be stopped, ist that we
consider it was a trespasing on the prop-
erty ot the congregation ; and 2d that erect-
ing a building on that ground for private
use would effectually destroy the title of
the County to the whole Court house lot.
It seems that our application and remon-
strance has been totally disregarded, and
Said building has been sometime occupied
for private use. Altho you have hereby
destroyed the Title of the County to the
Court house lot, we have no objections to
the County's using Said lot for the pur-
poses Specified in their deed from the Trus-
tees, which was for the Court house only,
provided they pay to this board the whole
of the ground rent paid and to be paid by
Moses Estey.
Sighned by order of the board,
Sighned, Jon'n Ford,
President.

ag.finst him of'the neglect of family prayer,
he observed — that after he made a profes-
sion of religion, ha lived in the performance
of his duty in this respect, untill disabled
by a Paralytic shock. He stated that his
speech was so much affected by this shock,
that kaving made several attempts to pray
in his family, he found himself unable to
proceed. & consequently had neglected the
duty entirely.
The Seesion in conversing with Mr. P.
could not discover that he labored under
any special difficulty of utterance ; he ap-
peared to speak with as xvwxoh fluency as the
generality of men of his standing. Presum-
ing, that were his worldly interests at
stake he would certainly make an attempt
to plead his cause, the Session were not
satisfied with the reasons assigned for the
neglect of so important a duty. There-
be read, some portion of the Sacred Scrip-
tures, & then, that he endeavor to pray
with them ; & that he persevere in these
endeavors: beinj> confident that the willing
mind will be accepted according to what a
man hath, & not according to what he hath
not.

bers of this Church, being about to move
into the state of Ohio, requested a letter of

stance of certificates granted by the Ses-
sion.]

to provide the elements, for the supply of
the Communion table ; & that the usual
compensation be made him.
Concluded with prayer.
Nov. 3, 1809. Mr. John D. & Mary his
wife applied to the session to be received
into the communion of this Church, & pro-
duced a Certificate, dated March i6th, 1809,
stating that when they left New York & re-
moved to Morristown, about 12 years ago,
they were in regular standing with the
United Presbyterian Church in New York,
In consequence of some reports, tending to
call in question the regular walk of these
persons, the consideration of their request
was postponed to the next meeting of the
session.
Dec. 27, 1809. Mr. Timothy J. Lewis,
Treasurer of the communicants fund, laid be-
fore the session [a report which shows a]
balance of $440.34.

vince them of the sin of living in the neg-
lect of the ordinances of the Gospel.
Feb. 21, 1810. The Moderator reported
that he had labored with Mr. & Mrs. D. ac-
cording^ to appointment, but received no

of the situation in which they now stand.
June 29, 1810. Elders Cutler& D. Lindsly
were appointed to labor with Mr. Jacob P.,
a brother of this Church, who neglects to
devote his children to God in the ordinance
of baptism,
Aug. 31, 1810, The committee appointed
to labor with Mr. Jacob P. reported that
they had attended to their appointment, &
that they had good reason to believe that
Mr. P. would soon come forward & dedicate
his children to God in baptism ; as the diffi-
culties, which had hitherto led him to neg-
lect the baptism of his children, were in
some measure removed. [This result seems
to have been so encouraging that commit-
tees were appointed at this meeting, for
similar labor in two other families, one of
them that of an elder ; but the Minutes and
Register of Baptisms do not reveal any suc-
cess in these cases.]
Oct. 20. 1 810. Voted that the Moderator
be empowered to grant letters of dismission
to persons applying for them when the ses-
sion are not together, and that he report
the same to them next meeting.

surer, not having been presented to the ses-
sion at the usual time, was now read, and
ordered to be entered on the minutes. [The

report is the fact that it shows there were
six communion seasons observed in the
year : Jan. 7th, March 4.th, May 9th, July 2d,
Sept. 3d, and Nov. 4th ; which indicates a
preponderance of New England, rather than
of Scotch, ideas in the community.]
July 5, 181 1. Voted that the Mod'r pur-
chase Dr. Watts' Psalms & Hymns for the
use of the Desk, and that he be authorized
to draw upon the Treasurer [i.e. of the com-

Nov, I, 181 1. Elder Freeman, who had
been appointed to attend the stated meeting
of Presbytery [held at Newark first Tues-
day in Oct.], and Elder Halsey, who was ap-
pointed to attend the stated meeting of
Synod [in New York, the third Tuesday of
Oct.,] being present, were inquired of,
whether they had fulfilled their respective
appointments. They both stated that owing
to the peculiar situation of their families at
the time those bodies met, they were unable
to attend.
The Session having been unable to satisfy
the scruples of Mrs. Hannah H, on the sub-
ject of [infant] baptism, at her request
agreed to dismiss her with a view to join
the Baptist chh.
Thursday, Nov. 14, 181 1. Thii day was
observed by this Congregation as a day of

ply the place of those who have removed

unable to attend the meetings of Session ;
when Elder Sam'l Freeman was chosen
deacon, and Stephen Youngs, Jacob Pierson
Francis Johnes, Lewis Mills & Peter A.
Johnson, were chosen Elders.
May 14, 1812, Thursday. This day was
observed by the members of this Congrega-
tion, as a day of humiliation, fasting &
prayer, instead of the 15th as recommended
by Presbytery, in consequence of the review
of drafted troops, which is to take place to-
morrow on Morris Green. [Collection for

At the close of the afternoon Sermon the
TRUSTEES AND PARISH,
Deacon & Elders elect, excepting Mr, Johnes,
who was absent on a Journey, were set apart
to their respective offices, agreeably to the

of the Gen'l Assembly at their session in
May last,
Aug. 20, 1812, This day was observed by
this Congregation, as a day of humiliation
& prayer, in compliance with the recom-
mendation of the President and Congress
of the United States, [Collection for poor
$25.28.]
Dec. 25, 1812, Resolved, that it be a
standing rule of this session, at the stated
meeting previous to the administration of
the Lord's supper in January & July, to read
over the names of the Communicants, tor
the purpose of ascertaining whether there
be any whose conduct is irregular. Agree-
ably to the above resolution, the names of
the Communicants were read.
Resolved, that four dollars be allowed to
Mr. Timothy J. Lewis, for each season of
communion, as his compensation for fur-
nishing the elements, untill otherwise di-
rected. [An indication of war prices.]
Whereas it is the duty of the members of
the Session to assist the Pastor in catechis-
ing & instructing the children, resolved.
That, in addition to the stated catechetical
instruction given by the Pastor, the session
will catechise the children, in the several
districts of the Congregation, at least twice
in each year ; & for the accomplishment of
this important object, that they be classed
in the following manner, (Viz,) Messrs,
Vail, Cutler, & Youngs be one class to
catechise the children in the district on
IVatnung plain, at Littleton, & near Demas
Fords ; That Mr, Z, Freeman, Mr, Pierson.
& Mr, D, Lindsley be one class to catechise
the children in Green Village, Mulbery, &
New Vernon districts ; That Mr, S, Freeman
& Halsey be one class to catechise the
children in the districts near Jacob Coble's
in Jockey Hollow, & near Mr. Vincent Giier-
ings ; That Messrs. Johnson & Mills be one
class to catechise the children in Morris-
town.
Resolved, That the above classes attend to
the catechising of t)ie childrep, in their re-
spective districts, in the Months of March
& October; &, if providentially prevented,
as soon thereafter as Providence permits.
Friday, Jan. 11, 1813. This day was ob-
served by this Congregation, as a day of
thanksgiving & praise, agreeably to the
recommendation of the Governor of this
State. The usual collection for the poor of
the Church was deferred to the close of the
exercises on the ensuing Sabbath, [& then
amounted to " thirty-one dollars."]
March i, 1813. The Committee appointed
to converse with Miriam, wife of James X. re-
ported that they had fulfilled the appoint-
ment. She had informed them, that after
walking in communion with the Church
for several years, she was led to conclude
that she had never experienced a change of
heart, & consequently that she ought not
to approach the table of the Lord, It was
on this ground, she stated, that she had ab-
sented herself. Whereupon, it was enjoined
upon the members of the session to converse
with Mrs. X. as they may have opportunity ;
in order to remove, if possible, the difficul-
ties that perplex her mind.
June 29, 1813. P. D. appeared before the
Session, at his own request, & acknowledged
that he had fallen into the sin of intemper-
ance. He professed deep penitence & sor-
row for the wound which, by his sin, he had
inflicted upon the cause of Christ, & mani-
fested a determination, by the help of divine
grace, to be more watchful in future. As
his fall was not generally known to the
Congregation, the Session deemed it most
for the honor of religion, to accept of his
confession, without giving it any further
publicity.

Ordered that the following minute, which
was read to the Congregation by Mr. Mc-

sion :
"At a meeting of the Presbyter}' of Jer-
sey, held in Newark, April [26th,] 1814, a
minute was made of which the following is
an extract :
" 'Mr. Samuel Colt ct Mr. Oshea Wilder
appeared in Presbytery as Commissioners
from the Congregation of Paterson, and
presented a Call for the Rev'd Samuel
Fisher to become their Pastor. The Com-
missioners staled the grounds on which
they desired the translation of Mr. Fisher.
The Presbytery alter considering the plea,
agreed to put the Call into the hands of Mr.
Fisher. Mr. David Lindsley, as Commis-
sioner from the Congregation of Morris
Town, laid before the Presbytery an extract
from the proceedings of a meeting of the
Congregation ot Morris Town, convened to
take this subject into consideration, from
which it appealed that the Congregation
had agreed to unite with Mr. Fisher in re-
questing a dissolution of his present pas-
toral connection. Mr. Fisher requested to
have the connexion dissolved, whereupon
the Presbytery agreed to dissolve the pas-
toral relation of the Rev'd Samuel Fisher to
the Congregation of Morris Town, & it is
hereby dissolved, and the Congregation de-
clared vacant. Mr. McDowell was appointed
to preach at Morristown on the next Sab-
bath, and read to the Congregation an ex-
tract of the above minute.'

The minutes of the last meeting were
read. Messrs. Cutler, Pierson & Zophar
Freeman gave excuses for absence from that
meeting, which were sustained. [Mr, Mc-
Dowell acted as Clerk of Session from this
date until May, 1816.]
Jan. 18, 1815. Mr. Pierson, who was ap-
pointed to wait on Mr. P. & cite him to ap-
pear before session, reported that he had
done as directed, & that Mr. P. did not deny
the charge alledged against him, [of " in-
dulging too freely in the use of ardent
spirits,"] but endeavored to excuse himself
from appearing before session, by pleading
\
his great diffidence & inability to say any-
thing should become. On motion, resolved.
That the report be accepted, & that Mr.
Lindsley & Mr. Pierson be a committee to
wait again on Mr. P. & serve him with a
written citation to appear before session at
their next meeting.
According to a standing rule [see Dec. 25,
1812] session took a careful review of the
names of the communicants.
April 19, 181 5. Mrs. T. appeared before
the session & confessed she had been guilty
of the crime [of antenuptial fornication] al-
ledged against her ; professed & manifested
deep contrition. After conversing freely with
her, & carefully considering her case, it was
on motion Res., That she be required to
make a publick confession of her sin, ask
forgiveness of the church, & promise
amendment ; &, having done this, that she
be restored.

$24.68cts had been collected for the benefit
of the poor. [Treaty of Ghent ratified Feb.

an end.]
Jan. 30, 1816. The order of Synod in re-
gard to the formation of societies for the
instruction of the young in the scriptures
was read, & the Moderator was appointed to
draw a plan for the estabHshment & regula-
tion of such societies or classes. [Probably
outgrowth of the idea suggested by Robert
Finley, of Baskingridge, which received the
endorsement of the General Asssembly in
1815; and undoubtedly the origin of the
Sunday School of this Church.]
According to a standing rule [see Dec. 25,
1812]. the session took a careful review of
the names of the communicants.
On inquiry it appeared that James S. who
has received a certificate from this church
but has never found another, lives in the
neglect of the ordinances of the gospel &
the worship of God in his family. Resolved,
That Mr. Pierson be appointed to wait upon
him & inquire into this matter.
Aug. 15, 1816. Resolved, That we unite
with other churches in the Presbytery in
observing next Tuesday, the 22 inst., as a
day of fasting, humiliation & prayer, on ac-
count of the aspect of Providence towards
us ; the suspension of the Divine Influences
upon some of our churches ; & also on ac-
count of the coldness of Professing Christ-
ians among ourselves in the midst of the
displays of the divine goodness.
Dec. 23, 1816. It appeared, from informa-
tion laid before the Session, that Mr. X. a
member of this body [i. e. an elder], had
permitted his workmen to cut his Buck-
wheat on a Sabbath day of last Autumn.
Mr. X. confessed he had permitted this to
be done ; & gave as his reason, that his
buckwheat had been struck with the frost
& he feared, if a rain or wind should follow,
it would be so beaten down that he would
be unable to gather it. The Session, after
maturely deliberating on the case, were not
satisfied that this was a work of necessity ;
& as the act was publick, &, they conceived,
a breach of the Sabbath, therefore Resolved,
That Mr. X. be required publickly to ex-
press to the congregation his grief for this
act, by which his brethren ^.hink thie cause
of Christ has been injured; & to ask for-
giveness of God, & his brethren who' may
have been offended. He refused to do this,
as will be seen later.]
Feb. 20, 1817. The Session, according to
previous agreement, spent the remainderof
the afternoon in special prayer tor the out-
pouring of the Holy Spirit.
May 22, 1817. On motion resolved. That
it is deemed expedient by the Session to
have a 3d deacon appointed, & that such an
appointment be recommended to the con-
gregation. Resolved further, That if a 3d
deacon be appointed, the treasurer be di-
rected to procure two additional cups & an
additional plate, for serving the ordinance
of the supper. [Elders Jesse Cutler & Sam-
uel Freeman were Deacons at the time.
Neither the Minutes of the Parish nor those
of the Session contain any record of the
election of the third Deacon ; but Mr,
Barnes' "'Manual," printed in 1828, re-
cords " David Llndsly, May 22, 1817," in
the List of Deacons.]
Sept. 3, 1817. The Session then proceed-
ed to consider the case of Mr. X. in reference
to his cutting his buckwheat on the Sab-
bath last fall, which had been deferred at a
meeting in Dec'r last [see Dec. 23, 1816.]
After considering the subject for some time,
Mr. X. assented to the following confession,
viz : That he is liable to err, & that notwith-
standing his own views of the subject, he
may have done wrong in suffering his buck-
wheat to be cut as he did ; &, as this is the
decision of his brethren, the members of the
Session, he confesses if he has done wrong
he is sorry, & asks forgiveness of God & of
the Church. Ordered that this confession
be read from the pulpit on the day of the
preparatory lecture. [See Presbytery's ex-
ception, Oct. 7, 1818.]
Nov. 27, 1817. A communication from
Presbytery on the subject of exercising a
pastoral care over baptized children, was
laid before the Session, & ordered to be read
from the pulpit.
The Moderator reported that on the
thanksgiving day, Oct. 31st, the sum of
.$14.10 cts, had been collected for the bene-
fit of the poor of the Church & distributed
[to five widows.]
The Treasurer made his report to the
Session, which being examined by a com-
mittee was found to be correct.
MINUTES OF THE SESSION.
41
Resolved, That it be recommended to this
congregation to observe the ist day of Janu-
ary next as a day of thanksgiving.
Feb. 19, 1818. According to a standing
rule [Dec. 25, 1812] the Session took a care-
ful review of the list of members.
Thus far examined &* approved in Presby-
tery at Elizabeth Town, October 7, 181 8, with
the exception of Deacon X's confession.
[See page 40, under date of Sept 3, 1817.]
" If he is to blame," is no confession of
error. The decision of the Session ought to
have been complied with, & they ought not
to have yielded their views to the feelings of
an individual.
Henry Mills,
Moderator.
Nov. II, 1819. It was mentioned before
the Session that report charged Mr. A. B.
with a breach of the Sabbath, at a late
Methodist Camp meeting in the neighbour-
hood of this Town, when he, or his hands,
were engaged on the Lord's day in selling
beer & spirituous liquor. Resolved, that
Mr. Vail & Mr. Lindsley be a committee to
see Mr. B. & inquire into this matter.
Mar. 16, 1820. The committee appointed
to wait on Mr. B. reported that they had
attended to the business assigned them, &
that Mr. B. denied the charge of selling
liquor on the Sabbath, but confessed he had
furnished cake & Beer ; at the request, how-
ever, of the Methodists themselves. Re-
solved, that the report be accepted, & that
Mr. Vail be appointed to admonish him of
the impropriety of selling on the Sabbath,
«& the business be dismissed.
According to a standing rule [Dec. 25,
1812], the Session took a careful review of
the list of members.
June 18, 1821. The Moderator laid before
the Session an application from Mr. Wm. W.
Miller & Wm. B. Paterson, which was read
& is as follows, viz : —
" To the Bishop & Ruling Elders consti-
tuting the Session ot the Presbyterian
Church at Morris Town, in the State of
New Jersey : —
"William B. Paterson & William B. Miller,
having been regularly received by baptism
in their infancy into Christ's visible Church ;
& being at present members of the particu-
lar church and congregation established at
Morris Town within the bounds of the Pres-
bytery of Jersey, respectfully ask the Judi-
catory of the Church or congregation above
mentioned, to admit them, in the name &
for the benefit of their infant children, to
participate in the initiatory sacrament of our
holy religion. In support of their applica-
tion, they take leave to adduce the follow-
ing passages, among others, from the con-
fession of Faith : * Baptism is not to be ad-
ministered to any who are out of the visible
Church till they profess their faith in Christ
& obedience to him, but the infants of such as
are members of the visible Church are to be
baptised' — Shorter Catechism, Ans. to Quest.
95. As was before stated, the subscribers be-
came members of the visible Church by bap-
tism in their infancy ; & as they have always
manifested their belief in, & their reverence
for the great truths of Christianity, by their
continued support of the Ordinances of the
Gospel, & by their regular attendance there-
on ; & as no ecclesiastical tribunal has ever
dissolved their relation to the ' House «&
family of God,' they humbly conceive that
they still retain the character which, in
their early years, was solemnly acquired, &
are entitled to all the privileges which that
character confers. Being then, as baptized
persons, members of the Church, &, as the
confession of Faith expressly declaies that
'the infants of such as are members of the
Church are to be baptised,' they feel con-
strained, by the most powerful & interest-
ing considerations, to claim the public re-
cognition of their rights as Christian parents.
" And as the same Book {Form of Process,
chap, ist, sect, ist) lays down the follow-
ing direction, ' Inasmuch as all baptised
persons are members of the Church, when
they have arrived at the years of discretion
they are bound to perform all the duties of
Church members ; and as one of their duties
is to place their children under the care and
government of the Church, obligations ot
no small moment, as well as the strongest
conviction of the justice of their case, urge
the propriety of the present application.
" The subscribers freely acknowledge that
they do not perform all the duties of Church
members ; but they cannot imagine that, in
a clause so general and comprehensive in
its requirements as the one just cited, which
enters into no enumeration or detail of the
duties to be done, any allusion could be had
42
PASTORATE OF THE REV. WM. A. McDOWELL.
to one particular duty — that, for instance,
of going to the sacrament table — more than
to another; or, that b}^ neglecting to per-
form anv one duty, the delinquent member
becomes disabled from discharging all other
duties, or should be excluded from the ex-
ercise of those rights which the charter of
the religious community, to which he be-
longs, had explicitly granted him. A vested
right, like the one now claimed, never can
be forfeited or lost by mere presump-
tion or implication. Indeed the idea of con-
struction or implied forfeiture, which is so
odious in its nature and so oppressive in its
consequences, is absolutely disclaimed in
the following extract from the Confession
of Faith : ' Every congregation shall elect
to the office of Ruling Elder, or to the office
of Deacon, or either of them, in the mode
most approved and in use in that congrega-
tion. But in all cases the persons elected
must be communicating members in that
Church in which they are to exercise their
office, {Form of Gov't, chap, it., sec. 2.) This
Section explicitly recognizes the member-
ship of all baptized persons. None but
communicating members can be candidates
for the office of Elders and Deacons. Of
course, then, the Church is composed of
other members besides communicants: and
these members must have been adults, who
could have acquired their membership in no
other way than by baptism : As they had
arrived at years of discretion, they were
bound to perform all the duties of Church
members. Partaking of the Lord's Supper
is one of those duties. This however they
had not done, notwithstanding in this re-
spect, they are still considered as members
of the Church, & as possessing all the priv-
ileges incident to that relation, except the
one thus positively withdrawn from them.
The difference of the language used by the
framers of our standards, when designating
the persons proper to be admitted to the
sacrament ol baptism, & those to be chosen
officers of the Church, clearly explains their
views with regard to the point now submit-
ted. 'All baptised members of the Church';
' the children of all members of the Church
are to be baptized'; but only communica-
ting members are to be chosen Elders &
Deacons. Had not these qualifying words
been added all members, i. e. all baptized
persons, would have been eligible to the
offices therein mentioned. This the authors
of the Confession of Faith knew; but, as
that was not their intention, they took care
to insert the restrictive clause above quoted.
The limitation, or abridgement, of a general
right is an avowal of the existence & oper-
ation of that right, as to all purposes except
the one particularly specified. When,
therefore, it is declared that only commu-
nicating members are to be chosen Elders
& Deacons, it is tantamount to a confirma-
tion of all the other rights, which such
members as are not communicants were ac-
customed to enjoy. The forfeiture of a
positive right cannot be inferred from the
omission to discharge a certain duty, inas-
much as such an inference is not only con-
trary to the nature of all positive or vested
right, but is repelled by a fair implication of
a diametrically opposite character.
" These are the passages, among others, in
the Confession of Faith, on which the sub-
scribers rest the merits of their case. And,
when in addition to their plain and decisive
language we advert to the ancient, uniform,
(and until a few years since) uninterrupted
practice of the Presbyterian Church in this
country, and to what still is the universal
practice of the Church of Scotland, from
whose bosom we sprang; whose formularies
of doctrine and discipline we have adopted,
and whose supreme Judicatory, for a long
period, we dutifully obeyed ; when we re-
view the ministerial conduct of those wise
and learned and pious men who founded the
American Church and finally settled our re-
ligious standards ; when, with filial grati-
tude, we call to remembrance the baptismal
acts which those departed worthies, the
Tennants & Davies & Witherspoons & Mc-
VVhorters & Rodgers did not scruple to per-
form and hand down as no unhallowed ex-
amples to their successors; & when we re-
collect that, with respect to the subject
matter in question, all these venerable
fathers knew but one sentiment, spoke but
one language, &. like brethren that agreed,
pursued the same harmonious course ; when
all these circumstances are brought toge-
ther and duly weighed, they furnish a mass
of testimony which, your applicants honestly
confess, appears to them irresistible and con-
clusive.

" With these observations they respect-
fully submit the case to the consideration
of this Congregational Court, and beg their
decision upon it.
Wm. W. Miller,
Wm. B. Paterson."
After carefully considering the applica"
tion, the Session were unanimously of the
opinion, that, inasmuch as their applicants,
according to their own acknowledgment,
have never complied with what our Confes-
sion of Faith, and, the Session believe, the
Word of God also requires of parents who
offer children in baptism — that of professing
their faith in & obedience to him," — they
cannot consistently comply with their re-
quest. Therefore unanimously resolved,
that the prayer of the petitioners be not
granted.
Jan. 28, 1822, according to a standing rule
[Dec. 25, 1812,] the Session took a careful
review of their list of members.
May 26, 1823, Mr. H. appeared before the
Session. [He appeared in response to a
second citation, charging him "with gross
dishonesty in several instances." The animus
seems to have been similar to that shown in
the next extract ; the desire to call distillers
of liquor to account.]
After some remarks, Mr. H. gave them
to understand that he had never been re-
ceived a member of this Church, but was
connected with the Church in N., in the
State of New York. And, on examination
of the Sessional Records, this was found to
be a fact, thatMr. H., tho' for several years
considered as a member and partaking of
all the privileges of this Church, never has
been regularly received into it, and conse-
quently is not under the jurisdiction of this
Session. After some deliberation, the Ses-
sion Resolved that they have no authority
to proceed in this business, and therefore
that it be dismissed. Resolved further, that
inasmuch as Mr. H. has for many years been
looked upon as a member of this Church,
entitled to its privileges and subject to its
discipline, and in view of the Church and of
the word. The Session are responsible for
their faithfulness to him as a member.
Therefore they feel bound, in justice to
themselves and to the cause of religion, to
make a full and candid statement of his case
to the Church ; that it may be known that
we are not responsible. Resolved that the
statement be drawn up by the moderator
and read to the Church on friday next, after
the preparatory Lecture. Resolved that the
Moderator, as soon as convenient, write to
the Pastor of the Church in N., and inform
him of this case.
Aug. 26, 1823, Mr. M. appeared before the
Session and confessed that he had run his
distillery on the sabbath last fall, but plead
peculiar circumstances in the case as ren-
dering it necessary. The Session after ma-
turely considering the case, were of opinion
that there was no necessity in the case that
authorized such a breach of the sabbath.
Whereupon, Resolved that Mr. M. be re-
quired to appear before the session again,
and that the Moderator state to him the
views of the Session, solemnly admonish
him for his sin, and state to him that a repe-
tition of the act must expose him to a still
higher censure. Mr. Johnson was appointed
to inform Mr. M. of the Resolution. Mr.
Johnson asked the privilege of entering his
protest against the foregoing resolution re-
quiring only admonition, which wasgranted.

ing due.
September 25, 1820. Annual Parish Meet-

v\hen David Mills and Joseph Cutler were
reappointed Trustees. The Committee ap-
pointed the 4th day of December last re-
ported, and their report was accepted ;
which report was in the words following,
viz : The Committee appointed by Parish
Meeting, the fourth day of December last,
to confer with the Trustees upon the best
plan of raising money to pay the Minister's
sallary, and also for the future management
of the Parish funds, after repeated consulta-
TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
47
tions on those subjects, report unanimously
as follows, viz : First, that in order to make
due provision for paying the Ministers sal-
lary, it is necessary that the Trustees (whose
duty it is) should advance the rent on seats
from five to seven and a half per cent. The
right of raising the rents is most clearly ex-
pressed in the articles of sale, and although
the Trustees have omitted to insert this
condition, as well as many other things for
the sake of brevity, in the form of certificate
to purchasers of seats, neither the certi-
ficate, nor any omission therein, can invali-
date the article, it being the warrant under
which the seats were sold. If the above
mentioned advance should be made on the
seats, their whole rent will amount to only
eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars,
which is $112 a year short of the Minister's
sallary, and must be taken out of the other
funds of the Parish. And, although those
funds are wanted for other important pur-
poses, the Committee advise the Trustees
rather to use them for Minister's sallary
than to raise the rent any higher than ji
per cent, at present, on account of the hard-
ness and pressure of the times.
Second as to the future management of
the other parish funds, amounting to about
$3400, the committee are unanimously of
opinion not to disturb any bonds that are
Sufficiently Secured by Mortgages and on
which the interest is usually paid ; and those
not sufficiently Secured or on which the in-
terest is not usually paid the last parish
meeting ordered them to be put in train for
collection, and no other management ap-
pears necessary.
The Committee therefore propose to the
Parish to adopt a resolution in the following
form — Resolved in order to make due pro-
vision for paying the ministers Sallary, that
it is recommended to the Trustees to raise
the rent on Seats from five to Seven and a
half per cent, from the 12th day of Septem-
ber instant.
Dated 13th Sept. 1820.
By unanimous order of the Committee.
Henry Vail,
Chairman.
Moses Cherry appointed Sexton for this

mittee reported that they were in arrear of

ing in our public worship. Joseph Cutler

the amount of two hundred and twenty four
dollars and 74 cents.

three months from this day, by any means

quence of Mr. McDowell's resigning his
pastoral charge; and that this notice be
published from the pulpit on the two suc-
ceeding Sabbaths.
Morris Town, 27th Sept., 1823. The Par-
ish Meating was held according to adjourn-
ment. Mr. Ezekiel Whitehead, the Mod-
erator, was present, and Mr. Lewis Mills was
chosen Clerk.
Doctor Lewis Condit read a letter from
our Pastor, Wm. A. McDowell, stating that
his ill health was the reason which had
caused him to come to the decision to ask
his people to unite with him "in requesting
the Presbytery to dissolve the Pastoral re-
lation between him and this congregation.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted :
Whereas, this congregation has been of-
ficially notified by the Rev'd Wm. A. Mc-
Dowell of his desire to resign his pastoral
charge, and close his ministerial labours
amongst us ; and as impressions may be
made on the minds of persons who are
strangers to the congregation and minister,
unfavourable to both and altogether un-
founded, the congregation consider it to be
a duty they owe to themselves as well as to
Mr. McDowell, to expose their views and
feelings which they entertain on the oc-
casion.
1st. Resolved, Therefore, as the sense of
this congregation, that the respect and es-
teem which we felt for our worthy Pastor
on his first settlement among us, is not
only undiminished, but that his faithful
and zealous labours'; his tender and affec-
tionate regard for his people ; as well as his
amiable and unexceptional deportment upon
all occasions, have greatly endeared him to
us ; And that each succeeding year has ad-
ded strength to the ties which ought to
unite a people to their Minister. That, as
far as we are enabled to judge, as well from
the recent revival of religion, the attention
to religious instruction in every quarter of
the congregation, and from the general ex-
pression of individual opinions, we have
every reason to conclude that his ministerial
labours were never more acceptable than at
the present day ; and their exists a general
desire to extend to him a liberal support,
proportioned in some good measure to the
limited means of this people.
2nd. Resolved, that we deeply regret the
declining health of our beloved pastor,
whose delicate Constitution may possibly
have been impaired in his unremitting en-
deavours for the faithful discharge of duties,
in a congregation so numerous and exten-
sive.
3rd. Resolved, that if our beloved Pastor
entertains a hope that a change of climate
and some relaxation from ministerial
Labours may have a salutary influence upon
his health, it becomes our duty as a people
to oppose no obstacle to his wishes, but to
submit the question to the decision of Pres-
bytery; and we would add our sincere
prayers and warmest wishes for his health,
happiness and extensive usefulness in the
church.
4th. Res'd, That a respectful address, ex-
pressive of the feelings and views of the
congregation be prepared and presented to
the Rev'd Mr. McDowell.
The following address was read and unan-
imously adopted :
To the Rev. Wm. A. McDowell:
Rev'd and Dear Sir:—
The period is near at hand when agree-
ably to your decision the connection, which
has subsisted between us as Minister and
people is to be dissolved.
Upon an occasion so important and inter-
esting, we trust we shall be pardoned for
expressing some of those sensations and
TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
49
feelings which occupy our minds. It is an
event to many of us unexpected, and, as we
believe, unwelcome to the great body ot the
people who compose your flock. In the re-
view of our intercourse we experience
mingled emotions of pleasure and pain.
We recollect with deep interest your faith-
ful labours, your solemn warnings, your
fervent expostulation, your affectionate im-
portunities and friendly entreaties with us.
We have often heard your warning voice,
and are ourselves the witnesses of that deep
interest you have always evinced in our wel-
fare, as well as of that correct deportment
you have always maintained during your
residence among us.
We should be ungrateful it such recollec-
tions failed to excite a high veneration and
respect for clerical character, or an ardent
affection and esteem for you as a christian,
a neighbor and a friend. These sensations
acquire additional force when we recollect
that a constitution naturally feeble, and
health always delicate, may have been mater-
ially impaired by the zealous and constant
attention to parochial duties ; and that de-
clining health, a hope of restoration, induces
you to retire from such arduous labours, and
to seek a climate more congenial to your
constitution.
We should be wanting to ourselves, how-
ever, if we did not assure you — that it is with
deep and unfeigned reluctance we acquiese
in the necessity which impels you to seek
a separation. Our attachment to you is not
only undiminished, but we confidently be-
lieve has been strengthened and matured
by every years intercourse. And, had your
health admitted the continuance of your la-
bours, we are assured the prospect of your
usefulness was never greater than at this
day. We admit our remissness in respect
to many of our obligations and duties to you
as our minister. We have not duly appre-
ciated the privilegesjof the Gospel, faithfully
dispensed amongst us.
We feel it also to be a duty which we owe
to you, to ourselves and to the christian
Church in general, to bear our feeble but
united testimony against a practice, which
we fear is becoming too fashionable. We al-
lude to the frequent dissolution of the con-
nection between Minister and people for
reasons which, we apprehend, would, in
some instances, on close scrutiny, be found
insufficient. We need not advert to par-
ticulars; the destitute condition of many
neighbouring churchei ; the dissentions*
jealousies, divisions and suspicions thence
arising are not unknown to you.
We hope and trust that as a congregation
we may be preserved from such evils ; and
that in acquiescing in the separation which
you desire we may not be considered as
sanctioning or giving countenance to a
practice, which we deem derogatory to the
clerical character, prejudicial to the church
and subversive of those good feelings which
should bind together a christian com-
munity.
In conclusion, we hope we shall not be
forgotten by you ; but that you will bear
us on your heart to the Throne of Grace,
importuning in our behalf, those blessings
we so much need ; that we may be in the
safe keeping of the great Sheppard who can
protect from the ravening wolves; that we
may dwell together in the bonds of christian
charity, exercising that kind forberanceand
tender indulgence toward each other, which
the Gospel inculcates, and which our situa-
tion so eminently requires.
And may you, dear sir, be preserved from
the perils of your journeys ; may your health
be restored and your life prolonged ; ma)-^
you find an united and affectionate people,
worthy of a faithful and zealous Pastor ;
and may the work of the Lord prosper in
your hands. And should you hereafter visit
your native State, and we be permitted
again to hear the well-known sound of your
voice, we can assure you, you will find in our
church many willing ears and many affec-
tionate hearts to great your return.
Resolved that Mr. Ezekiel Whitehead and
Mr. Lewis Mills be a committee to present
the address.
Resolved, that in the opinion of this meet-
ing, the practice of calling Ministers of the
Gospel from congregations where they are
usefully settled, and dwelling in harmony
with their people, tends to pernicious con-
sequences, and ought to be discounte-
nanced.
Resolved, that an address be prepaired to
the Presbytery, expressing our disapproba-
tion of such practice, and stating some of
the evil consequences likely to result from

there was collection for the poor $12.26.
In Presbytery at Mendham, Oct. 8, 1825.
Thus far examined, and approved with the
following exceptions, viz.
1. That the Session did proceed to lay
charges against, and to cite a person for
trial, who was not a member of there church
and so not under there jurisdiction. P. 215,
[See May 26, 1823.]
2. That the session ought to have ad-
judged a heavier censure on Mr. M. for
openly violating the sabbath by running his
distillery, when the session declared that in
their judgment, there was no necessity in
the case and it was acknowledged to be his
second offence of the same kind. P. 217.
[See Aug. 26, 1823.]
3. That it does not appear from the re-
cord that they ever inflicted any censure on
Mr. M.

ship to a person who does not appear from

the book of dismissions of persons to join
other churches, when [sic] it does not ap-
pear by whom they were dismissed.

hensible digree of carelessness in doing
business ; in writing there minutes ; in
spelling, and in not recording the first
names of the members of session.
J. M. Babbit, Moderator.
[It is a relief to observe from the hand-

the pupose however of compromising all
differences between the congregation and
Mr. Mills, they were willing to allow and
pay him a certain sum of money. Inas-
much however, as it does not appear to the
Congregation, that Mr, Mills is willing to
accept this sum in satisfaction of his claim
against the congregation, it was. Resolved,

PASTORATE OF THE REV. CHARLES HOOVER.
James J. Scofield, and Silas Lindsley be a
committee to confer with Mr. Mills upon
the subject of these differences ; that they
report to the Trustees, and that the Trus-

Mills is willing to accept it.

The Trustees reported in writing on the
subject of Peter A. Johnson's claim against
the Congregation, referred to them by a
resolution passed at the annual parish
meeting of 1831, which report is in the
words following, to-wit:
The Trustees to whom was referred the
claim of Peter A. Johnson, Esq. for making
a line fence between his land and that of
the Parish, respectfully report. That Mr.
Johnson demands pa3'ment for half the
cost of an ordinar)^ board fence, of the
length of said line, with lawful interest on
the same from the time said fence was put
up to the present period, and offers to take,
as payment in full, a deed for such ground
belonging to the Parish as may be contain-
ed within his present inclosure; and to
bind himself and (should the proposition be
acceded lo) to keep up the line fence for-
ever. The Trustees shortly after the mat-
ter was submitted to them, employed Ro-
bert K. Tuttle, Esq. to run the lines, with a
view to ascertain the precise quantity of
land belonging to them, which Mr. John-
son had in his possession. As soon as this
knowledge was ascertained, the Trustees
offered to give Mr. Johnson for his claim a
SDiall triangular piece of ground in his front
door yard, a narrow strip running along his
garden fence, being about two feet wide at
one end and terminating in a point at the
other, and a small gore in the rear of his
garden between his line and that of Mr.
Humphreville. This ofTer was immediately
rejected.
As the Trustees do not think it would be
expedient to dispose of the piece of ground
adjoining the Session house, because it
may at some future time, be useful as an
entrance to the graveyard, or may be want-
ed for some other purpose connected with
the church, and as they are convinced that
nothing short of a conveyance of all the
ground within his inclosure, or the pay-
ment of the price of a board fence with in-
terest will satisfy Mr. Johnson, neither of
which are they willing to do, they ask to
be discharged from the further considera-
tion of the subject. By order of the Trus-
tees, F. Child, Jr., Sec't; Ezekiel White-
head, President. Morristown, Sept. 23,
1833.
Which report being read, it was Re-
solved unanimously that the same be ac-
cepted and entered at large in the minutes.
Mr. Lindsly having appeared as a
Committee in behalf of the New Vernon
Church, and asked the aid of this commit-
tee in the building of a church at that

Moses Cherry was reappointed Sexton at

The Committee appointed in 1832, to de-
vise some plan for the better regulation of
the burying ground made the following re-
port :
The Committee appointed in 1832 by the
annual Parish meeting, and continued by a
vote of the annual Parish meeting of 1833,
for the purpose of inspecting the condition
of the burying ground, and reporting to the
congregation some plan for its improve-
ment and better arrangement, respectfully
submit the following report :
We have carefully examined the ground,
and have had the advice and counsel of the
Trustees, as well as of other judicious per-
sons, all of whom unite with us in express-
ing deep regret, that a well digested plan
had not originally been adopted and pur-
sued in depositing the bodies of the dead in
this yard. It is however, well known that
no regulations having been heretofore
laid down, interments have been made,
and continue still to be made, in what-
ever place the friends may point out. In
• some instances relatives are buried near to
each other, and again relatives are deposited
in graves far remote from each other. One
grave is encroached upon to make room
for another, which in its turn is disturbed to
make room for a third. The bodies ol
strangers are often placed between mem-
bers of the same family. No effectual pro-
vision is made to prevent tomb stones from
being effaced or destroyed, and friends wish-
ing to visit the graves of friends, know not
where to look for their remains. All is con-
fusion and irregularity, and so far as it may
now be practicable to remedy or prevent
these improprieties, we deem it to be wise
and prudent to adopt the necessary mea-
sures. Under these impressions we re-
commend to the Congregation the follow-
ing plan, viz :
ist. That all such portion of the grave
yard lying on the West, North-west and N.
East parts thereof, whereon but few and in
some parts where no interments have been
made, beginning seven and ^ links from the
North corner of the session house, on a
course North, twenty-live degrees West,
and running from thence on a line parallel
with the North West end of the session
house, North sixty-five degrees East, three
chains and forty-five links to a stake ;
thence South sixty-one degrees East, two
chains and twenty-four links to the grave
yard fence ; thence following the fence,
first a Northerly course, then a North
Westerly course and thence a South West-
erly course to the place of beginning, agree-
ably to a survey and plot made by Edward
Condict, Esq., and which accompanies this
report ; be, and the same is hereby reserved
for future direction and disposal by the
Parish ; and that until otherwise ordered,
the Sexton shall not dig any graves in
such reservation, nor suffer any to be dug
by other persons.
2nd, With a view to order & regularity in
the interments which may herQafter be per-
mitted in the proposed reservation, the
committee further recommend that proper
measures be taken to lay out and mark off
the said reservation by avenues or walks of
convenient dimensions, & to subdivide the
ground into sections or squares adopted
and arranged for family interments.
3rd, The Committee also recommend that
a plat be laid down upon a large scale ex-
hibiting at one view the whole of the bury-
ing grou..d, designating also by coloring, or
other means, the reservation before describ-
ed, the usual avenues, sections & squares by
letters, numbers &c.; and that the survey
& plat or plan be preserved for future re-
ference with the other records and papers of
the Parish.
4th, And whereas that part of said bury-
ing ground lying south & east of the ses-
sion house is so occupied and filled with
graves and grave stones, as to render it
difficult for a funeral procession to move
through it without great inconvenience; it is
recommended that the Trustees cause a con-
venient entrance or gateway to be made and
maintained at the North & West end of said
session house, in such spot as shall corres-
pond to the principal avenue or passage
through the reservation proposed to be
made. And in order more efFectually to
guard the adjoining Parish grounds from
encroachment, it is further advised that the
Trustees be directed and enjoined to cause
the fence enclosing said grounds forthi&ith
to be put up & always hereafter to be main-
tained upon the lines which separate them

from lands of individuals. And it is also
advised to instruct the Trustees to make
immediate measures for the entire removal
of all fences, which upon survey and ex-
amination shall be found to encroach upon
the burying ground, or other Parish lands.
5th. With a view to aid the funds of the
congregation hereafter, the Committee
would recommend that the Parish take into
consideration the propriety and expediency
of selling and conveying to individuals the
exclusive right of occupying squares in the
aforesaid reservation, as private burial places,
upon such terms and under such instruc-
tions as they may hereafter deem proper.
And they would also advise that an avenue
or walk be immediately made upon the line
between thq reserved ground and that part
now occupied by graves, for the sake of
greater security against interments being
made upon the ground so reserved."
Resolved, That the foregoing report be
accepted, and that it be spread at length
upon the minutes of the Parish, together
with the accompanying map or plot. (See
map on last page but one of this book
ot minutes.)
Resolved, That the Trustees be directed
to examine the wood upon the Parish lands,
and that they be empowered to sell the
same, if upon examination they deem it ex-
pedient.
Resolved, That the Treasurer be instruct-
ed to effect an Insurance upon the Church
for the sum of $6,000 and that the insurance
be continued from year to year until other-
wise ordered by the congregation. It hav-
ing been represented to the Congregation,
that the ladies of the Fragment Society in
Morristown have raised the sum of Two
hundred dollars for the purpose of enlarg-
ing and otherwise improving the session
house, which sum they have now on hand
and are ready to pay over whenever the
Congregation shall from its own funds con-
tribute so much as with the said two hun-
dred dollars may be necessary to complete
the contemplated improvements. There-
fore,
Resolved, That the Trustees be author-
ized and empowered to confer with the ladies
of the Fragment Society on the subject of
such improvement and to appropriate from
the funds of the congregation, so much as
with the two hundred dollars already raised
for that purpose may be necessary to com-
plete the improvement. Provided however
that no more than three hundred dollars be
appropriated from the funds of the Parish
for this purpose.
On motion the meeting then adjourned.

Morristown, March 1st, 1836. A meet-
ing of the Parish convened this day in con-
formity to a notice from the Trustees.
The following letter from the Rev. Char-
les Hoover was communicated to the Cori-
gregation ;
" To the Presbyterian Congregation of
Morristown assembled in Parish meeting.
Dear brethern and friends.
You are already generally appraised of
my desire to resign my present paStoril
charge. The meeting now convened has
been called at my request to act in relation
to the proposed resignation. And my earn-
est request and hope is that you will accede
to my wishes, that the subject may go be-
fore the Presbytery without embarrassment.
Our relation as pastor and people hai
subsisted between four and five years. A
spirit of harmony and kindness has pre-
vailed among us, and sweetened the con-
nection. The word of God, the' dispensed
in weakness, has been heard by you with
exemplary attention. My hands have ofteii
been strengthened by the prayers of the
faithful, and my heart made glad by the
success of the truth in the salvation of souli.
And wherever my future lot may be cast in
the providence of God, I do not expect to find
a congregation more disposed to receive the
word with weekness, or more capable of re-
ceiving it with discrimination.
My interest in and affection for you h^§
constantly deepened, as I have gone among
you breaking the bread of life, and min-
gling in your social and domestic joys and
sorrows. We have mourned together in
the same scenes of affliction, and have wept
at the same graves. We have rejoiced tp*

gether at the resurrection of sinners from
spiritual death, and in the brightening
graces of the pious, while the spirit of grace
breathed its influence upon us. Of one
hundred and seventy persons added to the
church during our connection, a large pro-
portion were brought in as the result of
special refreshings from heaven. Here I
could wish, if the will of God were so, to
stay and labor ; and in a field of labor so
ample and inviting I could not but be happy.
But the state ot my health, as affected by
the rigor of winter in this place, and the ex-
posure unavoidable in the parochial ser-
vices necessary in this large and extended
congregation, has been such as to render it
clearly a duty to myself, to my family, and
the congregation to remove. I have arriv-
ed at this conclusion, after long and anxi-
ous deliberation, and after availing myself
of the opinion of competent medical advi-
sers. To this result 1 have been reluctantly
conducted, not only on my own account,
but because of the inconveniences and evils
to which so large a congregation must be
exposed during a vacancy. But my own path
seems clear; and while I cast myself upon the
will of a wise and holy Providence, I shall
commit my beloved people to the care of
the great Shepherd of Isreal, and shall unite
with you in praying that you may soon re-
ceive from his hand a man after his own
heart, to publish the gospel to you and to
your children, and walk before you in the
path to heaven.
I am dear brethern

Morristown, ( Gospel
March ist. 1836. ^ (Signed) C. Hoover."
The forgoing letter having been read the
following resolutions, as expressing the
sense of the meeting, were unanimously
adopted.
ist. Resolved, That as a congregation,
cordially attached to our beloved pastor, the
Rev. Charles Hoover, we deeply sympa-
thize with him in his declining health.
which induces him to ask a dismission from
his present charge, as announced to us in
his letter just now read.
2nd. Resolved, That during the whole
course of his useful ministry among us,
such has been his devotion to the cause of
religion, his zeal for the truth, his fidelity
and love to the souls of his people, as to pro-
duce a deep and abiding attachment to him,
which we desire to cherish and perpetuate.
3rd. Resolved, That since Mr. Hoover
is of opinion that under existing circum-
stances it is necessary to the restoration of
his health, that his pastoral connection
with this congregation be dissolved, we
deem it our duty to acquiesce, tendering to
him our cordial thanks for his untiring zeal
and faithfulness in all his ministerial inter-
course, together with our ardent wishes
and wannest prayers for his continued use-
fulness in the church on earth, until, sum-
moned by the great Head of the church
above, he shall enter upon its high rewards.
4th. Resolved, That the President of the
Board of Trustees and Elder Peter A. John-
son of the church session be a committee
to call on the Rev. Mr. Hoover and present
him a copy of the above resolutions, signed
by the moderator of this meeting and the
clerk of the parish.
5th. Resolved, That said committee be
further instructed to invite Mr. Hoover, so
long as circumstances may admit, to supply
the pulpit and to perform such other min-
isterial functions as he may feel himself
able and willing to discharge.
6th. Resol ed. That the congregation
cordially approve and adopt the recom-
mendation, contained in a resolution passed
by the session of this church at a late meet-
ing, viz :
" Resolved, That session respectfully rec-
ommend to the congregation that while
they agree to our pastor's resignation, they
will, as an act of justice, and as an expres-
sion of esteem and respect toward him lor
his faithful services, continue his salary to
the expiration of the present half year.

MINUTES OF THE SESSION.
March 30, 1836. Dr. J. D. Marvin was
chosen Clerk of Session. Dr. Johnes re-
signed his office as treasurer, and Stephen
A. Prudden was chosen in his stead.
April 7, 1836. Resolved, that a meeting
of the Church for special prayer, be held in
the Session House, at half past 2 P. M. on
Thursday next.
Dr. John B. Johnes and Jonathan Thomp-
son resigned their seats in the Session, and
offered their reasons in writing, which the
session voted to receive and record ; which
are as follows :
Whereas, the form of Government, adopt-
ed by the Presbyterian Church, provides
that Elders and Deacons, when their official
services become unacceptable to a majoril)'
of the congregation to which they belong
(see Form of Government, Chap. 13, Sect.
6), may cease to act ; Therefore we, the un-
dersigned, do hereby vacate our seats in the
Session of this church, from and after the
adjournment of this meeting. And, where-
as it becomes our duty, in such cases, to
assign our reasons, that the Session may
record the same on their minutes (see Sec-
tion 7th of the above Chap.), Therefore we
offer the following, (viz.) ist. We are
fully convinced that decided Unitarianism
exists in the bosom of the Church, unblush-
ingly expressed and zealously defended.
2d. We are persuaded that the church as a
body will not sustain its session in the ex-
ercise of that salutary discipline, which we
believe the word of God and the form of our
church government, in such cases, require.
In support of this opinion, we state the
facts that complaints have been raised on
all sides, against our proceedings ; That
witnesses have neglected and refused to
obey the citations of the Session ; and we
are led by past experience to believe, that
should we attempt to exercise towards them
the discipline of the church (See Chap. 4 of
Actual Process, Section 10), we should not
be sustained, either by the Church or a
majority of the Session. 3rd. We state as
our third reason, the fact, that after labour-
ing foi eight months to discipline one, who.
in our presence, ridiculed the idea of a
vicarious atonement for sin ; and openly de-
clared, in the face of Session. "Jesus Christ
cannot be God; if he is, he tells stories;"^ and
when (agreeably to the advice of Presby-
tery) we were about to take the testimony
in the case, our Brethern of Session (who,
for the most part, had been absent during
the process of the business), came forward,
and by their vote nullified all our proceed-
ings, and reetored the accused without a
trial. [See Minute of March 12, 1836, which
is the only reference to the case previously
recorded.] 4th. We believe that our ser-
vices, especially in the exercise of disci-
pline, are unacceptable to the church.
And now. Brethren, while we claim to have
acted conscienciously ourselves, we cheer-
fully concede the same to you. And while
we have endeavored to assist you in the
government of the church, we have acted
under the fixed persuasion that the per-
manent peace of the church is most success-
fully consulted, when her internal purity is
most carefully guarded. Think not. Dear
Brethren, that we are induced to take this
step by any feelings of resentment towards
you or the church. So far are we from this,
that we most sincerely desire and pray that
the direction and blessing of the great
Head of the Church may guide your deliber-
ations, and prosper your exertions for the
advancement of his Kingdom in our midst.

PARISH AND TRUSTEES.
Morristown, June 28th, 1836. A meeting
of the Parish convened this day in compli-
ance with a call from the Trustees, when
the following communication from a joint
Committee of the Trustees, the session and
committee of supply was read.
" The session of the church, the Trustees
and Committee of supply, having been in-
vited to consult together respecting the va-
cancy of the pulpit and what measures
might be most expedient in relation to a
pastor, have deliberated on the subject, and
after a full and free interchange of opinion,
submit the following remarks to the con-
gregation for their serious consideration.
As preliminary to the settlement of a
pastor, the first question is, what sum is to
be appropriated to his support. In regard
to the salary paid to our late pastor, we are
unanimously of opinion, that it would now
be quite insufficient for the maintenance of
a minister. The items of house rent and
fuel, with the keeping of a horse and cow,
will at present prices absorb more than one
third of the sum paid our late pastor, and
these items include not more than one
fourth of the expenses of any economical
family. We think it cannot be the desire
of any liberal and enlightened Christian
society to inquire what is the smallest pos-
sible sum upon which a Clergyman and his
family can live. The point to be ascertain-
ed is.what sum will enable him to support his
family comfortably and without embarrass-
ment, according to the condition and cir-
cumstances in which providence has placed
him. And whatever suro falls short of this
must be deemed inadequate. In deciding
what this sum shall be, it must not be for-
gotten that a minister's house and minis-
ter's table must accommodate not only his
own wife and children, but that his hospi-
tality must be extended very frequently to
his friends and occassionally to his parish-
ioners. His sons arid daughters must be
educated and fitted for usefulness in life ;
and he cannot feel better satisfied than
other men, if he finds at the year's end his
means exhausted and nothing reserved to
meet the calls of old age, nor to respond to
the numerous charities which the Christian
spirit of the day is urging forward. The
laborer is worthy of his hire ; and the
mind of a Christian minister devoted to the
good of his flock, should be at ease in re-
gard to his worldly affairs. Whilst he min-
isters to them in spiritual things, his peo-
ple should provide amply for him and those
confided to him in temporal things. " A
divided house must fall ;" if the study be
neglected during the week, the pulpit must
fail to instruct and teach on the Sabbath.
By degrees the people become dissatisfied,
the Pastor discontented, and a separation
is the consequence. There is no definite
sura which can be considered a standard
salary for a clergyman's support. It is a
matter of compact, to be graduated by the
ability and liberality of the congregation
and the character and wants of the minis-
ter. We take it for granted that this con-
gregation desire and expect in their minis-
ter a man of warm and zealous piety, well
instructed in theology and literature, with
sound talents and sufficient industry to en-
able him to discharge with acceptance all
the varied duties of a minister of the gos-
pel. Such is the demand at this day for
such men not only in the pulpit, but in our
Seminaries and Colleges, as well as in our
various missionary stations and charitable
agencies, that their services will command
salaries commensurate nearly with salaries
paid in civil life. To obtain a Pastor of a
respectable grade of talents we must first
determine to allow him a reasonable and
liberal support. Tho' on this point the
minds of men may vary, we have endeavor-
ed to look at it deliberately and with a
strong desire to promote the harmony and
welfare of this church, and we have come to
TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
69
this conclusion almost unanimously; that
at the present prices of all the necessaries of
life, it is expedient and necessary to raise
the salary of our Pastor to the sum of
$1,200 per year.
If the congregation adopt this recom-
mendation, of course it will be necessary to
increase the rents upon the seats. The pre-
sent assessment of 7^ per cent upon the
first valuation, after deducting bad debts
and other casualties, produces a revenue of
about seven hundred dollars. This sum
with about $120, which is about the inter-
est accruing from the funds on hand, is all
the means to be relied on for the payment
of the salary.
The insufficiency of the assessment to de-
fray current expenses has compelled the
Trustees for many jears to apply a portion
of the principal annually to meet their en-
gagements with the minister. In this way
the funds have been reduced from about
S6,ooo to about $2,000, and the whole must
be soon exhausted, unless the deficiency be
supplied by other means. It will be wise
in us to meet this contingency at once, and
save the remnant of this small fund rather
than permit it all to vanish.
This can done only by laying at once
such an assessment as shall support the
minister and keep the house in repair. And
so numerous is this congregation, that if we
should double the pew rents, our contribu-
tions for the stated ministrations of the
gospel would still be less than is paid by
many of our neighbours. We believe that
the parishioners of New Vernon, Bottlehill.
Whippany and of many other Churches pay
treble the sum in pew rents, that are paid
be the parishioners of this congregation.
And if this congregation shall be so
blessed of Providence as to obtain a Pastor
of eminent talents, well qualified for all the
duties of his sacred office, we have no doubt
that the vacant seats will soon be filled and
the tax become less burdensome.
Such are the views and opinions your
Session, Trustees, and committee of supply
entertain upon these points, which are so
intimately connected with the peace and
welfare of the congregation. With our
united prayers, we commend its interests
to the great Head of the Church, trusting
and confiding in him to preserve us in

Christian fellowship and brotherly love.

sion, Trustees, and Committee of Supply.

of Trustees.
The above communication having been

adopt the sentiments therein expressed.
Resolved, That the salary hereafter to be
paid to the Pastor of this congregation be

instructed to increase the present rate of
assessment from time to time at their dis-
cretion, not exceeding in the whole
percent, upon the original valuation of the
seats. Adjourned.

MINUTES OF TM£ SESSION.
n
writing of Mr. Kirtland, who evidently acted
as Clerk during his Pastorate.]
April 2, 1837. Session met in the inter-
val of Divine worship and appointed Lewis
Mills a member of the Presbytery to meet
at Rahway on the 3rd tuesday of this
month.
Resolved, that hereafter members of ses-
sion attend Presbytery in Alphabetical or-
der, and that if any one in his turn fail to
attend he shall procure a substitute.
Members of Session all present except P.
A. Johnson, who sent word that he was
unwell and could not tarry with them.
April 24, 1837. Session spent the after-
noon in examining the list of church mem-
bers. At the conclusion of the examination
they found that they could report no more
than 450 members to the General Assem-
bly, as now in communion with the church.
With some individuals, included in this
number, the Session were not sufficiently
acquainted at present to decide whether
they are now in communion with us or
not.
Nov. I, 1837. Resolved, that the treas-
urer, Stephen A. Prudden, procure a suita-
ble book for keeping the records of the
Deacons.
Resolved, that Session will meet on the
first tuesday of every month, at the house
of the Pastor, for united prayer and con-
sultation on the state of religion in their
own hearts and in the Church.
S.* J.*, having in a written note request-
ed Session to allow him, on certain terms
which be prescribed, to withdraw from this
church for the purpose of uniting with a
Unitarian Church in the City of New York,
assigning as his reasons therefore, a change
in his religious views and sentiments; Re-
solved that his request be not granted.
Whereas complaints have long and ex-
tensively prevailed against S.* J.* for en-
tertaining and publishing sentiments at va-
riance with our confession of Faith, espec-
ially on the doctrine of the Trinity, and the
other doctrines of the bible necessarily re-
sulting from that ;
And whereas Session have formerly la-
bored with him on that point, and several
months since commenced a process against
him, which they dismissed on certain con-
ditions, one of which was that he should
cease to publish his objectionable senti-
ments ;
And whereas he is reputed to have con-
tinued his efforts, and that too with no lit-
tle zeal, to disseminate those same senti-
ments, among our youth and other mem-
bers of the church ;
And whereas he is further reputed to
have published a book entitled "Two
Short Arguments," in which he has attempt-
ed to disprove and hold up to ridicule the
Doctrines of our church in relation to the
Holy Ghost ; and whereas he has given no-
tice of an intention to publish two other
books in opposition tc the doctrine of the
Trinity ;
Therefore Resolved unanimously, that
he be cited on the grounds of Common
Fame to appear before Session to answer
to the following charges.
1. Denying the personality of the Holy
Ghost, and ridiculing the views entertain-
ed of him by the Presbyterian Church.
2. Denying and deriding the Doctrine
of the Trinity as set forth in our Confes-
sion of Faith at Ch. H. Sec. III.
3. Attempting to draw away our youth
and others from the doctrines of our church,
by publishing his views and feelings in op-
position to the same.
Feb. 6, 1838. Stephen A. Prudden [the
Treas. of Session] was instructed to furnish
three boxes for the purpose of taking up
collections in the gallery, and to defray the
expenses from the church funds.
Resolved, that Jonathan D. Marvin, Sam-
uel J. Doty and John J. Guerin be appoint-
ed to circulate the boxes for taxing up col-
lections in the Gallery.
March 7, 1838. The whole afternoon was
spent in examining and endeavouring to
correct the list of members, in enquiring
after the absent, and in considering whether
any, and if any, what cases require the dis-
cipline of the church. A list was made of
those whose names are still found upon our
records but who are known to have remov-
ed from our bounds, or whose present loca-
tion is wholly unknown to Session, amount-
ing to one hundred and twenty-two. Of
this list it was agreed that each member of
Session should take a portion and make
diligent enquiries, for ascertaining if possi-
ble, everything which it is important for

David Lindsley and Amos Prudden ap-
peared before Session as a Committee from
the church at New Vernon, requesting
that, as their church was formed from ours,
they might receive a part of the church
fund which belongs to our church and
which was raised previous to their remov-
al from us. The Committee having been

ed that further action on the subject be de-
ferred till a future meeting of Session.
June 5, 1838. The application from the

Feb. 4, 1839. A message was received
from Timothy Tucker, a member of Session,
who has long been detained from the meet-
ing of Session, stating, that as he is still
very feeble and declining, it is probable
that he never can meet with them again,
and requesting to be remembered in their
prayers.
Resolved, that the several members of
Session, without any public notice upon
the subject, will, each in his own neighbor-
hood, commence a course of religious visits
in the different families, and report at the
next meeting of Session.
Feb. 21, 1839. A number of the members
of Session reported, that they had spent
some time in visiting the families in their
vicinity, as proposed at the last meeting,
and that they were encouraged to go for-
ward in the work.
April 2, 1839. The list of church mem-
bers was reviewed for the purposes of cor-
rection, and of ascertaining if any cases re-
quired the attention of Session. The mod-
erator reported that he had ascertained
that 55 of of those included in the list re-
ferred to [in the minute of March 7, 1838,]
were either dead or dismissed. Several of

each up to the 12th Sept. of each year;
which inventory the Trustees are hereby
required, after they have been examined
and approved of by them, to deliver to the
Parish Clerk, to be filed with the other pa-
pers of the Parish.
Mr. L. Moore handed in to the meeting a
letter containing " Proposals on the part of
the Board of Managers of the Morristown
Fire Association to the Trustees of the
Presbyterian Church," which are that they
are " willing to release the assessment on
the church property under the following
conditions, viz : The Trustees of the church
to build or cause to be built a reservoir of
water of some hundred Hogsheads, the
Trustees giving the right to the association
to enter and use the water at all times for
the purpose of extinguishing fires."

referred to the Trustees of the church and
that they be authorized to act as they think
proper for the benefit of the church.

thorized to take measures immediately to
stop all of the leaks about the Steeple, and
to repair the walls injured by said leaks.
On motion of Mr. Z. Conklin it was re-
solved, that the Treasurer be required to
make up to the Rev. Messrs. Sym and Free-

the pulpit during our vacancy. Adjourned.

ing the pulpit during the vacancy being
under consideration, it was resolved unani-
mously, that some doubts being entertain-
ed whether said resolution was a fair ex-
pression of the will of the Parish, they, the
Trustees, do hereby advise the Treasurer
not to act in the matter until another ex-
pression of the Parish is obtained. The

other gentlemen who supplied the pulpit

the Rev. Gentlemen above named.

TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
n
preamble and Resolutions were adopted,
viz.
Whereas, the congregation of the Presby-
terian church is now assembled by a notifi-
cation of the President of the Trustees, to
take into consideration the existing difficul-
ties between the Rev. Mr. Kirtland and a
number of disaffected members of the con-
gregation : We would hereby express our
regret that the peace and harmony of the
church should be disturbed in any way ;
and whereas a certain paper has been cir-
culated through the congregation and has
been subscribed by a very large majority of
the pew holders, which paper was headed
by these expressions, "We the undersigned
pew holders in the Presbyterian church in
Morristown declare ourselves satisfied with
the Rev. Mr. Kirtland as a man, as a chris-
tian, and as a pastor, and disapprove of any
attempt to effect his removal."
Resolved, Therefore that we view the acts
of the disaffected as unjustifiable, that we
know of no objection which has been given
or can be'given, which will justify the means
used to divide the relation between the peo-
ple and their pastor.
Resolved, That as a congregation we feel
that there is cause to humble ourselves be-
fore an omnicient God, to whom we vowed
to love, and study the peace and edification
of each other, on account of the angry feel-
ing and unhappy zeal and the determined
resolution manifested by the disaffected to
expel our pastor from this church at all
hazard.
Resolved, That we sympathize with our
pastor on account of his domestic and pub-
lic trials, that our affection for him is un-
abated, that our confidence in him is un-
shaken, that we are contented with him as
our pastor, and that we will use all lawful
means to sustain him among us, and while
he continues our pastor will endeavor sac-
redly to keep the solemn promises made by
us at the time of his installation over us.

"Notice is hereby given that there will be a
Parish meeting in this house on Wednesday
the 30th of December inst., at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, to take into consideration
the expediency and necessity which now
exists for dividing this congregation into
two separate and distinct congregations
upon justand equitable principles; having in
view the division of the funds and property
of this congregation between the two con-
gregations, and such other business as is
necessary to carry the above into effect. By
order of the Trustees.
December 19th 1840. John B. Johnes,
President."
Resolved, That the following preamble
and resolutions be adopted by voting by a
Poll. Whereas the first Presbyterian Con-
gregation in Morristown has laboured many
years under privations and inconveniencies
from increased numbers and dispersed resi-
dences of the parishioners ; the census num-
ber of the Town plot alone, and chiefly Pres-
byterian, being no less than sixteen hundred
and eighty-two ; besides an addition from
populous settlements in lines three or four
miles long, in some directions, from the
house of worship ; such numbers as cannot
partake of the pastoral visits,or in such rapid
succession as to be no better than a useless
form; many sick and bereaved have to lament
the loss of pastoral attentions; the number
of Bible classes requisite for the convenient
attendance of the young of both sexes can-
not be successfully instructed ; lectures for
week days, when not possibly to be attend-
ed by the pastor on account of other duties,
create disquietude and crimination ; persons
anxious for spiritual conversation must ex-
pect hardly ever to find the pastor at home ;
with such a mass of duties in opposite di-
rections, over such extensive bounds, the
minister is no more exempt than others
from sickness and bereavements in his own
family to distract his time ; and however
willing may be his spirit, no minister has
the physical ability to perform one half of
these duties aright, and yet prepare for
every sabbath day two sermons suitable for
a congregation of more than ordinary
acuteness and literary taste, acquired by hav-
ing sat for many years under ministers the
most famed that our country has produced.
The size of the congregation and its num-
bers are the occasions of these inconvenien-
cies and privations, and no possible way
can be devised for equality of privilege, and
tor bringing the performance of such nu-
merous and conflicting duties within the
physical ability of one minister, but by form*
ing a second Presbyterian congregation out
of a portion of the present members.
And whereas some unfortunate differences,
but not relating to faith or doctrines, have
arisen and exist in the congregation, which
in the opinion of this meeting will be best
healed and put an end to by a division of
the congregation, consented and agreed to
at a regular parish meeting called for the
special purpose of taking the subject of the
said division into consideration,
Therefore Resolved :
1st. That, in the opinion of this meeting,
the faith and doctrines cf this church will be
better promoted and the benefits of the
Gospel more generally diffused and extend-
ed, by a division of the present congrega-
tion into two distinct and separate congre-
gations, to be called the first and second
congregations in Morristown.
2nd. That means be adopted, as soon as
conveniently may be, for forming and organ-
izing the second Presbyterian congregation
of such members of this congregation as
are desirous of becoming members thereof.
3rd. That, to enable the said' second pres-
byterian congregation to erect a house of
worship within the limits of this parish, and
for the purpose ofan amicable distribution of
the property of this congregation between
the two congregations, that the Trustees ot
this congregation assign, transfer and pay to,
as Trustees in Trust for that portion of this
congregation as shall become members of
the said second Presbyterian Congregation,
Three Thousand dollars of the funds, money,
and property otthis congregation, to be ap-
propriated and applied in erecting a house
of worship and for the uses and purposes of
the said second congregation.
And that the burying ground of this con-
gregation shall, on the said division taking
place, become and remain the common pro-
perty of the two congregations.
8o
PASTORATE VACANT.
And to facilitate the mode ot payment, it is
understood that part of the aforesaid Three
Thousand dollars shall be paid by tran-
ferring to the Trustees, of the said second
congregation of the Presbyterian church,
the wood lands now owned by this congre-
gation, being about sixty acres more or less,
to be valued at fifteen hundred dollars ; and
the remaining fifteen hundred dollars to be
paid with available bonds and notes.
4th. That whatever expenses may have
accrued to theTrustees of this congregation,
or which may accrue to them in carrying
into effect the above resolutions either by
way of council fees or costs of suits in law
or «quity, shall be defrayed out ot the cor-
porate funds of this congregation.
5th. That this meeting do vote on these
resolutions by a Poll or list of the names of
all the Parishioners (voting whether Yea or
Nay), and that the moderator deliver the
said poll (certified under his hand and that
of the clerk) to the president of the Trustees,
to be preserved among the documents of
the congregation.
The congregation proceeded to vote by

And the following person voted Nay :
Silas Johnson.
The following protest was presented by
Mr. L C. Whitehead:
Protest of Minority.
Whereas at a Parish meeting of the first
Presbyterian church and congregation in
Morristown, holden this day ; a part of the
said congregation, claiming to be a majority
thereof, adopted resolutions to divide the
funds and property of the said church and
congregation, and appropriate a portion
thereof to another society to be formed, as
IS alleged, into a second Presbyterian
Church :
Now, we the subscribers in behalf of our-
selves and others who adhere to the old
church and desire to remain as the chris-
tian cornmunity composing " The first Pres-
byterian Church and Congregation in Mor-
ristown," do protest against any division ol
the said funds and property for the follow-
ing reasons :
First, Because persons claimed to vote,
and did vote in favour of such division, who
were not interested in the church property,
who owned no seat or pew in the house, and
consequently were not qualified to vote
upon any question touching the disposition
of the funds or property of the parish.
Second, Because there is no necessity for
another presbyterian church in this place,
there being more than sufficient room in the
present house of worship for the accommo-
dation of all the Presbyterian denomination
in the place.
Third, Because we and others who adhere
to the old church have done no act tending
to a division of the church, and have request-
ed and do now cordially invite our seceding
brethern to remain with us and worship in
the house built by our fathers for all their
children.
MINUTES OF THE SESSION.

Fourth, Because we believe any disposi-
tion or application of the parish funds and
property other than for purposes connected
with the first Presbyterian Church and con-
gregation in Morristown, even by a majorily
of the qualified voters, to be unlawful and
in violation of the right of those persons
who desire to remain in the old church.

annual parish meeting in September, 1840,
having resigned their trust, as by a writing
subscribed by them individually, and read to
this meeting, will appear:
Resolved, as the sense of this meeting,
that a committee of five persons, members
of this congregation be appointed, as tem-
porary agents on behalf of s^id congregation.
whose duty it shall be to take charge forth-
with of the Temporal concerns and property
thereof, until Trustees shall be legally
chosen to act in their stead.
■ Resolved, That said committee as tempo-
rary agents be, and they hereby are, instruct-
ed to settle all the accounts of the board
of Trustees now tendering their resigna-
tions, and to demand and receive from them
all monies, bonds, notes, deeds, books, pro-
perty and papers of every description, which
of right belong to this congregation, and to
give such receipt for the same as may be
proper.
Resolved, That said committee consist
of the following persons, Lewis Condict. Ira
C. Whitehead, William Sayre, Jun., Abraham
Tappen and J. F. Voorhees, and that they
be, and hereby are, empowered to call a
parish meeting at such time as they shall
deem proper, f©r the purpose of electing
Trustees according to law and for the trans-
action of such other business as shall be
necessary ; and that said committee then
make report to said meeting of their pro-
ceedings, together with a full statement of
all receipts and disbursements made by
the late Trustees from their election to
the day of settlement, together with a
statement shewing the condition of
the funds of the congregation on that day.
The resignation of W. B. Johnston as
stated clerk was tendered and accepted
unanimously. Adjourned.
17th May, 1841. Parish meeting: Peter
A. Johnson, chairman; and Dr. Silas L.
Condict, secretary. Dr. Lewis Condict,
chairman of the temporary agents appoint-
ed at the Parish meeting held on the 3d
day of May instant, made the following re-
port :
"The subscribers, appointed at the last
meeting of the Parish, as temporary agents,
to receive from the former Trustees, who
have lately resigned, the Books, papers and
property in their hands belonging to this
society, present to this meeting the follow-
ing report :
That, in conformity with instructions, we
obtained an interview with said Trustees,
stating our readiness to receive at their
hands, and to receipt for, all property, pa-
pers, books, &c., which they could surren-
der, and a;l50 to ariapge and settle with them
TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
85
their acct., as Trustees, of receipts and dis-
bursements.
We soon learned from them, that, upon a
surrender of said property and papers, they
expected and desired a discontinuance of the
suit before the Chancellor for an injunction ;
which we conceived could not be done with
propriety, unless our seceding brethren
would relinquish all claim to the property
of the church under certain resolutions
passed by them on or about the 30th De-
cember last.
It was intimated by said Trustees to us,
that this church was competent to receive
or repeal said resolutions, and that, in their
judgment i nd belief, the 2nd church would
not interfere to prevent it in any manner
whatever.
It was understood that said Trustees pre-
ferred that a surrender should be made to
Trustees duly appointed by the First
Church, from whom they could hope to re-
ceive some satisfactory assurance of the
discontinuance of said suit.
Finding the attempt abortive, the inter-
view closed without any settlement, and we
have to report, that all the deeds, mort-
gages, Bonds, notes, Books, monies, and
papers belonging to this congregation, re-
main in the possession of persons not Trus-
tees, who have withdrawn from us since
December last and belonging to and wor-
shiping with another society.
Deeming it to be our duty we have in
pursuance of the power vested in us, called
a Parish meeting to elect a Parish Clerk
and seven Trustees, and to take order re-
specting certain resolutions passed by per-
sons claiming to be a majority of a parish
meeting held in the church, 30 December
last. May 17, 1841. By order and in behalf
of the committee,
Lewis Condict, chairman."
The report was accepted.
It being made to appear, to the satisfac-
tion of this meeting, that notice of the time
and place of meeting had been duly read
from the pulpit for two successive Sab-
baths, and that ten days notice of the time
and place of assembling had been given by
an advertisement set up in open view on
the front door of the house of worship,
more than ten days previous thereto, sign-
ed by Lewis Condict for and in behalf of
the committee of temporary agents afore-
said ; It was, on motion, resolved, that this
meeting now proceed to the election of
Trustees. Whereupon the following per-
sons being nominated were unanimously
elected, viz : Richard W. Stites, Edward
Condict, Zebulon W. Concklin, Silas D.
Cory, William Sayre, Jun., John F. Voor-
hees and Jonathan Thompson.
Resolved, on motion of Dr. Condict, that
the old rule, providing that only two of the
members of the Board of Trustees go out
each year, be revived.
The meeting then proceeded to the elec-
tion of a parish Clerk, and thereupon Ira
C. Whitehead being nominated was unan-
imously elected.
The following Preamble and resolutions
being read were unanimously adopted :
Whereas this parish has been informed
by the committee, appointed to receive the
books, deeds, Bonds, notes, papers, and
other property belonging to this congrega-
tion from the hands of the late Tiustees,
who resigned their Trusteeship on monday
the 3rd of May Inst., that the said Trustees
declined the delivery of said Books, Deeds,
&c., to said committee, preferring to sur-
render them to the Trustees whenever they
should be elected ;
Resolved, therefore, as the sense of this
parish, that said committee be, and they
are hereby, discharged from the further ful-
filment of duties assigned them as tempo-
rary agents, and that the trustees elected
this day, viz : R. W. Stites. Edward Con-
dict, Z. W. Concklin, S. D. Cory, Wm.
Sayre, Jun., John F. Voorhees. and Jona-
than Thompson be, and they are hereby,
instructed to take measures forthwith, to
ask and receive from John B. Johnes, the
late President, and from his associates, in
the manner prescribed by law, all such
bonds, notes, mortgages, monies, deeds.
Books, papers and property, of every kind,
which may have come into the care and
keeping of said John B. Johnes and his as-
sociates while acting as trustees of the par-
ish, taking a correct inventory thereof, to
be recorded by the clerk of the trustees this
day elected and in such manner as they may
direct.
Resolved, That the trustees be requested
to take efficient and proper measures, at
86
PASTORATE OF THE REV. A. H. DUMONT.
their discretion, to place the monies due and
owing to the parish in such condition as
may enable them to pay promptly all just
and lawful demands now due and which
may become due from the parish.
Resolved, That in the firm persuasion of
the evils which must inevitably result from
our attempt to carry into effect any or all of
the resolutions, adopted by that portion of
this parish claiming to be the majority at
the Parish meeting held in the church on
the 30th December last, we deem it to be
our solemn duty to revoke and amend the
same.
Resolved, Therefore, as the sense of this
meeting, that all the resolutions adopted by
that portion of the Parish claiming to be a
majority at the parish rseeting assembled in
the church on the 30th December, 1840,
which had for their object the division of
this church and congregation, and the for-
mation of a 2d Presbyterian Church and
congregation, with the division of the funds
and lands of this church and congregation,
be and the same are hereby repealed.
Resolved, That the trustees this day
elected be instructed to communicate to
our brethren, who propose to secede, so
much of the proceedings ol this meeting as
they may deem to be proper.
The following resolutions were read and
unanimously adopted, and the Moderator,
Peter A. Johnson, Esq., Jacob Mann and
Silas Miller, were appointed a committee to
present the same to our seceding brethren,
now convened at the Morris Academy for
the purpose of organizing a 2nd Presbyter-
ian Church and congregation.
Resolved, As the sense of this Parish,
that the resolutions adopted and passed by
the meeting held in the Presbyterian Church
on the 30th December last, declaring it to
be expedient and proper to form a second
Presbyterian Church in this place, were
premature and unnecessary, it being now
ascertained that this church and congrega-
tion, at the time of passing said resolutions,
consisted of a less number of members by
some hundreds than when under the pasto-
ral charge of Dr. Richards, or any of his
successors for many years ; that there is in
the present church ample room, and to
spare, for all Presbyterians now living with-
in the bounds of this society, and, judging
from past experience we believe there will
be room sufficient in it for many years to
come, for the comfortable accommodation
of all who may desire to worship aspresby-
terians; That we honestly deprecate and
deplore the consequences of a division as
tending to enfeeble the efforts and cripple
the energies of the church in sustaining the
various humane and benevolent institutions
of our day, as well as in the support of an
able and efficient ministry at home.
Resolved, That in the firm belief and
persuasion of these truths, we deem it to be
our duty earnestly and solemnly to enter
this our protest against the contemplated di-
vision of thechurch as detrimental to its best
interests, and tending equally to the break-
ing down of all concerned therein, as well
the majority as the minority ; and that in a
sincere desire to bury forever all unkind
feelings, and in the hope of restoring har-
mony and the spirit of brotherly love, we
do hereby cordially invite our brethren, who
propose to secede from the house of their
and our fathers, to return and mingle their
prayers and praises with ours at one com-
mon altar, confessing our numerous offences
against him and against each other, implor-
ing his pardoning mercy and forgiveness
through the atoning merits of our Saviour.
The moderator here left the chair and, in
company with the other members of the
committee (Messrs. Mann and Miller), at-
tended at the Morris Academy and presented
to our seceding brothers there assembled a
copy of the foregoing resolutions. Mr. Z.
W. Concklin was appointed Chairman of
the meeting during the absence of Mr.
Johnson.
Mr. Asher Carter was elected chorister.
Resolved, That the Moderator present to
Mr. Carter the thanks of this meeting for
the interest he has manifested in our church,
and especially for his kindness in officiating
as our chorister since the settlement of our
respected Pastor, Rev. Mr. Dumont.
The committee appointed to wait on our
seceding brethren, assembled at the Morris
Academy, returned and by their Chairman.
P. A. Johnson, Esq., reported, that they had
performed the duty assigned them; that they
found the meeting organized ; and that
their chairman informed them that they had
a communication in writing from their
TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
8y
brethren of the First Church. A commit-
tee was thereupon raised to examine the
communication and report whether it was
proper to be read. The committee, after
examining the resolutions, reported that
they should be read ; and they were read
accordingly. Our committee further re-
ported, that, after the resolutions were read
to the meeting, a motion was made and car-
ried by our brethren at the Academy, that
the resolutions be returned to this meeting.
Resolved, That the Trustees elected at
this meeting meet this evening, and after-
ward on their own adjournment. Adjourned.
March 9, 1841. [There is good reason to
believe that this date is incorrect. The
Trustees named in the minute were not elect-
ed till May 17th; this, with other facts,
would make the date of the meeting some
time in May.] At a meeting of the Trustees,
held at the house of R. W. Stites, this day ;

Voorhees, Zebulon Conklin, Silas Cory and

and Stites, met at R. W. Stites to receive the
church papers from Messrs. Jno. B. Johnes
and Jno. W. Poinier, two of late Trustees,
and, according to an understanding which
had gradually taken place from two previous
meetings at same place, between these gen-
tleman and the majority of present Trustees
of 1st Church, they delivered over the
Bonds, notes and ether evidences of proper-
ty, with the exception of two notes amount-
ing with interest to $23., retained by Mr.
Poinier to cover so much of legal costs
made by them in the church case.

Methodist church ; to D. I. Canfield oldest
member of Vestry, Episcopal church, with
verbal explanations; and to Dr. Jno. B. '
Johnes prest. Board Trustees 2nd church,
with the following letter ;
"July 5th, 1842.
" Dr. Jno. B. Johnes ;
Dr. Sir. You will perceive by the follow-
ing resolution, that it has been made my
duty to forward it to you. Indisposition
has prevented my doing so previously.
Perhaps I ought somewhat to explain the
resolution, by saying, that, so far as I know
anything of the matter, the only object in
view was to raise a small amount annually
to aid the ist church in keeping the fence
in repair and in making a quantity of new
fence, now necessary for the proper protec-
tion of the yard. Will you be good enough
to lay the resolution before your Board of
Trustees, with the above explanation. I
had almost forgotten to say, that the resolu-
tion does not of course embrace the poor
and those unable to pay.
Yours truly. R. W. Stites."
July 13th, 1842, Trustees. The following
resolutions were passed unanimously: ist,
Whereas, by a resolution of the Board of
Trustees of the ist church at their last meet-
ing, a tax was laid upon the interment of
such persons as did not support the Gospel
in the ist church ; and whereas the Trustees,
in the passing of said resolutions, disclaim
all and every intention and object, other
than to keep the graves and vaults of all
parties from mutilation, by having a good
and substantial fence around the ground;
Now to assure our brethren of the several
churches that such was our only motive
and that we desire to do no act which will
excite or arouse their feelings ; Therefore,
resolved. That said resolution laying said tax
be rescinded and annulled, and that any sum
which may have been collected under it, be
forthwith returned to the parties who have
paid it, and that the yard remain as in times
past. The president of the Board is request-
ed to communicate above resolution to the
different churches. 2nd, That the ist resolu-
tion passed at the last meeting of Trustees,
which reserved for the use of the members
of the ist church the burial lots upon the
north and west of the main walk in the
grave yard, be rescinded.
$o

2 Pres. Church. July 14th, 1842.
Dr. Sir. The resolution enclosed has
been unanimously adopted by the Bd. Trus-
tees of 1st church. It is hoped that it will
prove satisfactory. The resolution respect-
ing the private lots upon the reserved
ground has also been rescinded, the Trus-
tees having determined to exercise no au-
thority over them, but simply to have them
run off and report to the Parish. Will you
be good enough to lay the annexed extract
from our minutes before your Board and,
in any way you may deem proper, give to it
circulation thro, the members of your
church. Yours truly, R. W. Stites."

Peter A. Johnson was appointed chairman,
and James M. Gould, Secretary.
The following communication from the

ident of the Trustees, was read and ordered
to be recorded in the book of minutes:
"To R. W. Stites, Esq.,
President of the Trustees of the first
Presbyterian Church in Morristown :
Dear Sir,
The contingency has arrived which seems
to demand, as an act of Justice to myself,
the resignation of my pastoral office over
the First Presbyterian Church in Morris-
town.
If it be asked what induces to this step,
it is enough for me to say that the congre-
gation fail, and have failed, to fulfill their
part of the contract into which we mutual-
ly entered at the time of my settlement
over them. Conscious to myself that, with
the imperiections incident to human frailty,
I have fulfilled every stipulation into
which I entered, and believing with hu-
mility that my labours under God have
not been useless, I feel justified in expecting
to be punctually paid for those labours. It
is not necessary to enquire whether this
state of things is attributable to inability
TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
93
on the part of the people to meet their en-
gagements, or to unwillingness; the fact
above will justify my resignation.
When the existing claims for my services
are liquidated, I will request the Trustees
to call a Parish meeting in order to the ne-
cessary steps for consummating our separa-
tion. Believe me, sir, when I assure you,
before God, that I make this communica-
tion without an unkind feeling to any indi-
vidual in the parish and with very warm at-
tachment to very many.
Very Respectfully,
June 23d, 1845. Your ob't. H. Serv't,
A. H. DUMONT."
The following resolution was then adopt-
ed unanimously by the meeting :
Resolved, as the sense of this Parish, that
under existing circumstances it is expedient
to unite with the Rev. A. H. Dumont in an
application to the Presbytery to dissolve
the connection between us as Pastor and
People ; and that R. VV. Stites, Esq., Presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees, and Mr. Ezra
Mills, one of the elders, be appointed com-
missioners to Presbytery to carry this ob-
ject into effect.
The following letter, or resolution, expres-
sive of the feelings of this Parish, was then
read, and adopted unanimously ; and it was
ordered that the same should be spread at
large upon the minutes ; and that the mode-
rator and such members of the session as
are present be a committee to present the
same to the Rev. A. H. Dumont, after the
same shall have been signed by the officers
of the meeting, which was done.
"To the Rev. A. H. Dumont, Pastor of
the ist Presbyterian Church at Morristown :
Rev. and Dear Sir,
We, the people of your charge, having
assembled at your request, to unite with you
in an application to Presbytery to sever the
ties which have bound us for years as Pas-
tor and people, feel constrained by a sense
of duty to you and to ourselves to say, that
a concurrence in this measure, however
proper it may be in our present exigency, is,
in itself, to us the most painful trial and
conflict we have known since your settle-
ment here. The bond of union has to us,
as an united people, been at all times
pleasant. We have listened invariably with
delight to your able instructions delivered
from the sacred desk and at the social
meeting ; and, altho' we are conscious of
our own misimprovement, we cannot forbear
this testimonial to your fidelity and zeal for
the salvation of the souls of your flock.
We had from your first settlement cherished
the hope that our union might prove an en-
during one. But difficulties have recently
prevented the fulfillment of our engage-
ments to you with that punctuality which
we desired and you had a right to expect ;
and, believing that time may not remedy
the difficulty, we submit to the separation,
assuring you, Dear Sir, of the high estima-
tion in which we still hold your invaluable
instructions, with our sincere prayers for
your happiness, welfare and usefulness in
whatever portion of the vineyard you may
hereafter be called to labour. We crave an
interest in your prayers for the quickening
of the good seed so faithfully distributed by
you here, that it may bear fruit abundantly,
as a crown of rejoicing hereafter ; and rest
assured. Dear Sir, that so long as one of
your old flock shall remain in the fold, the
re-entrance at the door of the faithful old
shepherd, and the w^ell known sound of his
voice, shall ever receive a cordial welcome."
The committee having waited upon the
Rev. A. H. Dumont with a copy of the
above address, reported, that he expressed
his warm thanks at the course which had
been pursued, and for their expression of
kindness contained therein, which he cordi-
ally reciprocated.
Resolved, That the trustees with the ses-
sion be a committee to supply the pulpit
and make inquiries relative to the settle-
ment of a pastor over this church.

" Mr. Z. W. Concklin )
Pres. Board of Trustees. \
Dr. Sir.
You are hereby respectfully requested to
call a parish meeting of this church, with-
out delay, in order that commissioners may
be appointed to unite with me in asking,
from the Presbytery of Elizabethtown, a
dissolution of the Pastoral relation between
me and the first Presbyterian church at
Morristown.
I am very respectfully yours.
Alex'r R. Thompson.
Morris Town, June 25, 1847."
The Trustees, after a consultation among
themselves, agreed to wait on Mr. Thomp-
son and signify to him, that they did not feel
disposed to call the parish meeting, under
the present circumstances, and that, accord-
ing to the book of proceeding of the Presby-
terian church, it devolved upon him to make
the application to Presbytery for his dis-
missal ; from which he dissented. After the
interview the Trustees advised among them-
selves, and agreed to postpone the subject
to Wednesday evening the 30th.
July 7, 1847. Parish meeting assembled
upon a request in writing from the pastor,
a copy whereof is given above, and in pur-
suance of a notice from the Trustees pub-
licly read from the pulpit. John F. Voor-
hees was chosen moderator, and the stated
clerk appeared. The meeting was then
opened with prayer.
Resolved, that Ezra Mills & Theodore
Little be a committee to wait upon Rev. Mr.
Thompson and receive from him any commu-
nication he may desire to make to this meet-
ing. The committee retired to wait upon
the pastor, & upon their return, presented
the following communication from him :
" I respectfully ask the appointment of
commissioners to unite with me in asking
from the Presbytery of Elizabethtown a dis-
solution of the Pastoral relation existing
between me & the First Presbyterian church,
TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
99
Morris Town, N.J., for the following reasons:
1. Because members of the session dis-
agree with me as to the session's rights and
duties. I am firmly of the opinion that the
elders are a body supposed, by reason of
years, experience & wisdom, to be able to de-
cide justly upon matters, not judicial, af-
fecting the spiritual interests of the church.
Such matters I believe, by the constitution
of the church are left to their arrangement.
While, therefore, I would not for an instant
in such matters, not involving principle, dis-
regard the properly expressed or clearly
known wishes of the people, I cannot con-
sent to refer such matters to a meeting of
the people for decision while surrounded by
a competent band of elders, whose discre-
tion, wisdom, & piety, enable them to ar-
range them, and who are by the constitution
of the church assigned the duty of arranging
them. I understand the opinion of members
of the session to be, that such matters
should be left to the people : upon this
opinion they act. I consider its operation
in future to promise hindrance to the inter-
ests of the church as properly in the hands
of the session. With my understanding of
the section 6f the constitution delineating
the duties of the session, I cannot coincide
with this opinion nor agree to be governed
by it.
2. Because of the existance in the church
of a spirit of disorder, and unwillingness to
submit to proper authority, utterly subver-
sive ot the church's welfare. I need but
refer to recent events in confirmation. It
appeared to the Pastor, that, on account of
the excessive alterations of the Psalms and
Hymns in the Psalm and Hymn Book in
use (z. e. : the church Psalmody,) some im-
provement in the Psalmody was needful.
After long and patient deliberation, we de-
vised the plan of adding the Village Hymns
to the book then in the church :
ist. Because nearly all, if not every family,
in the church possessed a copy or copies,
and therefore would be saved the expense
of a new book.
2nd. Because it was in use in the other
church services (z. e. the weekly services),
and that use was a virtual approval of it.
Knowing that the congregation brought it
on the evenings of the weekly services, he
supposed they would be perfectly willing to
bring it with them on the Sabbath. He
laid the matter before the session, who ex-
pressed their opinions in favour of it. He
caused the subject to lay over till the next
meeting of the session, who by a resolution
formally adopted it. It was introduced into
the service of the church, and the endeavour
was made to make a moderate and discreet
use of it. After some time it was a third time
brought before the session, who expressed,
two to one, their opinions against disturb-
ing its use in the church. Here there was
the deliberately and carefully formed sug-
gestion of the Pastor, adopted by the ses-
sion, thrice approved by them.
Members of the church declined ac-
quiescence in this sessional action ; Would
not join in the praise of God when the
Hymn was given from that book. The ses-
sion at a fourth meeting, on the ground of
the opposition to their enactment, rescind-
ed their former resolution, and the use of
the book was from that moment discon-
tinued. Had the session, when the matter
was first brought before them, declined
adopting it, the book would not hav^e en-
tered the church. Had members of this
church found reasonable ground of refusal
to comply with the action of the session,
and had that ground been properly and re-
spectfully stated to the session, it would
have met with the fullest consideration.
But when mere opposition to the action of
the session is manifested by public, open,
continued refusal by church members to
join in the praise of Almighty God, in for-
getfulness of the sanctity of his sacred
house and sabbath and worship and of their
own covenant vows, it is manifest that a
spirit of disorderly resistance to proper au-
thority utterly subversive of the welfare,
and, if carried out fully, of the existence, of
the church, exists in the midst of it.
3. Because of the toleration of, and sub-
mission to that disorderly spirit, by the
members and elders — on its manifestation,
the pastor with painful, silent grief observ-
ed its existence. He was repeatedly, and
by influential members of the church, ad-
vised to give way to it ; while at the very
time of giving such advice they character-
ized it as troublesome. At the fourth meet-
ing of the session, above alluded to, the
subject was brought forward. It was moved
loo
PASTORATE OF THE REV. ALEX. R. THOMPSON.
to refer the matter of the Hymn book to
the people ; the right of the session, more
than that of as many other of the church
members, to arrange the matter, being de-
nied. This motion was decided by the Pas-
tor out of order, on the ground, ist, that
the sessional action was finished and had
been acted on ; 2d. that the session and not
the people were the proper body tQ arrange
the matter, (see reason ist.) On the ap-
peal of the mover of this motion, the session
reversed the Pastor's decision by a vote of
four to two. The motion was made for the
recision of the resolution introducing the
use of the Village Hymn book, and it was
rescinded.
The main reason urged for rescinding this
resolution was the opposition manifested to
the Village Hymn Book in the church,
which the Pastor had reason to believe ex-
isted only on the part of a few. The effect
of this action of the session he believed to
be to strengthen this spirit of opposition,
publicly manifested, to the proper authority
of the church. If the session, whose wis-
dom & prudence in adopting the resolution
at first cannot be doubted, instead of adher-
ing to their own wise action, give way.as they
obviously did, on the repeatedly expressed
reason of this opposition to it in the church,
so obviously disorderly, it is manifest they
have laid down by this action a rule, which
destroys the stability of their own action in
future, & have thereby submitted to this
disorderly spirit, & encouraged it to make
similar attempts in future, to impel the ses-
sion from their solemnly adopted action, by
similar public, disorderly opposition to it
in hope of similar success. Thus has the
caiefully, patiently formed suggestion of the
Pastor, which had become the solemnly
adopted and thrice approved action of the
session, been openly and successfully re-
sisted by a few; and this resistance tolerated
and submitted to by the members and ses-
sion ; and thus at this moment is this re-
sistance triumphant over the proper author-
ity of the church. Two meetings of the
elders and Trustees, the first after two at-
tempts, have been held. The first without
the Pastor, the second with him. The sole
and only proposition, for adjustment and re-
moval of difficulties in the Pastor's way, by
these meetings, has been a mere expression
of desire that he should remain the Pastor
of the church. The disorder in the church
has not been reached in the result of those
meetings ; no expression as to it, no plan of
adjustment, no security for the future, have
been suggested by these meetings.
So has the Pastor been left to feel that he
was without that support for his ministerial
station from people and elders, which he
had a right to expect and which, from his
fearfully great responsibility and unceasing
pressure of labour as the Pastor of this
people, is essential to the comfort and use-
fulness of his ministry among them.
4. The above, added to complaint and
dissatisfaction in matters in which he sees
no reason to change, and would not change
under similar circumstances, were felt to
be most unreasonable, and given in no
small degree, have during months past de-
stroyed the comfort of the Pastor's ministry,
impaired his hopes of future usefulness, and
after the most solemn and continued sup-
plication for Divine Guidance, compeled
him to feel it his duty to ask the appoint-
ment of commissioners.
For these, as the main reasons, I ask the
appointment of commissioners to unite
with me in asking from the Presbytery of
Elizabethtown a dissolution of the Pastoral
relation between me and this church.

It was ordered by the meeting that the
above communication be laid on the table,
and recorded by the Clerk in the book of
minutes.
To a resolution offered by Dr. Condict,
the following was offered as an amendment
and cried : Whereas, this meeting has
been called, at the request of our Pastor, to
appoint commissioners to unite with him in
an application to Presbytery, to dissolve the
pastoral relation now existing between him-
self and this congregation ; Resolved: [ist,]
That Richard W. Stites, Jonathan D. Marvin,
Ezra Mills, Theodore Little and Peter B.
Shafer, be, and they hereby, are appointed
commissioners to represent this congrega-
tion in Presbytery, to be called on the ap-
plication of our Pastor, for the purpose of ef-
fecting such dissolution of the pastoral rela-
tion now existing between himself and this
congregation. [2d,] That, inasmuch as our

lOl
Pastor has requested this meeting to be
called, after having been twice assured by
the session and Trustees that the congrega-
tion does not desire a dissolution of the pas-
toral relation now existing, and that, so far
as they could ascertain, no reasonable cause
for such dissolution existed, we deem it in-
expedient further to oppose the expressed
desire of our Pastor in that behalf; and
that, while we cannot unite with our pastor
in making his application to the Presbytery,
our commissioners be and they hereby are
instructed, in view of the premises, to make
no objection or opposition to such applica-
tion. The above resolutions, after being
passed, were reconsidered and again passed,
the original resolution offered by Dr. Con-
diet having been withdrawn.
Resolved, That
be, and they are hereby, appointed a com-
mittee to prepare an answer in the form
of a protest against the communication ad-
dressed to this meeting by Mr. Thompson.
[The protest is not recorded in the Parish
minutes.]

Elizabeth, his wife.
" To Mr. and Mrs. Carter :
By the minutes of the Session of March
13th, 1849, you will perceive that they have
honored me so far as to entrust to my care
the expression of their grateful respect and
affection. I am unable to do justice to my
own feelings, and, ot course, much less ca-
pable of conveying to you the united senti-
ments of the Session and of the Church
represented by them ; our regard for you,
as members of society and members of the
same household of faith, and our regret at
the prospect of no longer enjoying the
benefit of your edifying example as Chris-
tians, or your valuable services in the choir
of which you have, for so many years, been
the judicious and successful leaders. We
hope you will not measure our regret or our
gratitude by the inadequate testimony,
which we wish to present to you as a me-
morial of the sentiments we entertain to-
wards you. Allow us briefly to convey to
you our united expression of respect and
aflfection, our earnest wishes that you may
be blessed in your new home, by being as
useful and as honored as you have been in
that w^hich you are about to leave. And we
have now only to request your acceptance
of this small evidence that such are the
sentiments we entertain towards you.

figures following, to wit :
"Upon invitation of Rev. Dr. Richards of
Morristown, the undersigned met to con-
sider the question, whether under existing
circumstances he had better resign his pas-
to^^al charge. After hearing from Dr. Rich-
ards a statement of the case, we consulted
together and agree in the opinion that it
would be well for him to offer his resigna-
tion at the meeting of Presbytery in April.
We, too, deem it best for him, in the mean-
time, to allow the Session to take the re-
sponsibility of supplying the pulpit while
he seeks to regain his health.

Dear Brethren :
Common fame charges your Pastor with

after mature deliberation, earnest prayer
and patient enquiry, I have determined to
call a meeting of the Elizabeth Town Pres-
bytery, to enquire whether these charges be

Dear Brethren :
It is my present conviction that I shall be
able to supply the pulpit after the next Sab-
bath, or as early as the first Sabbath in
March at least. If anything should occur
to prevent, I shall give you timely notice,
or furnish a supply myself, if that course
shall meet with your approbation,
I am dear Brethren,
Yours in the best of bonds,

Dr. Lewis Condict, moderator; David M.
Stiger, Parish Clerk. The following pre-
amble and resolution were offered : Where-
as, since the exhaustion of the funds for-
merly belonging to this congregation, it is
found by the experience of several years,
that the annual tax of ten per cent, hereto-
fore assessed on the Pews, is altogether in-
adequate to defray the necessary expenses
of each year, and the deficiency increasing
every year, must in the end greatly embar-
rass the congregation. Resolved, That the
Trustees are hereby authorized and in-
structed to levy and assess on all the pews,
an additional assessment of two and one-
half per cent, upon the present valuation.
The above resolution having been dis-

able degree of misunderstanding in the con-
gregation as to the true meaning and ef-
fect of the resolution adopted at the annual
parish meeting, whereby the Trustees were
directed to lay an additional assessment of
three per cent, on the valuation of the Pews,
it is inexpedient for the Trustees to lay
that assessment for the present year. [2d,]
That, inasmuch as the deficiency for the
present year is estimated at $250 ($70 of
which has already been provided for), and,
inasmuch as the weekly collection is dis-
pensed with by the order of the Parish meet-
ing, we make an effort to collect the balance
by collections in the church, to be taken up
on the morning of the last Sabbath of each
month, commencing Dec. 29, Inst. [3d,]
That we borrow sufficient money to pay the
existing debt of $250. [4th,] That a state-
ment of the financial affairs of the church,

be agreed upon by myself and the trustees,
previous to the next regular stated meeting
of Presby, for the purpose of asking their
concurrence in my request for a removal,
and for the appointment of Commissioners
to represent the Cong'r at Presby.
I am. Dear Sir, yours affectionately,
James Richards."

" My dear Sir,
Will it be agreeable to the Board of Trus-
tees to prepare a notice for a parish meet-
ing, to be called on Monday or Tuesday
next, to consider the subject brought to
your notice in my last communication. I
am anxious to remove my family to Western
New York, before the meeting of Presby-
tery in April ; and I do not wish to leave
here for any length of time, until the way is
clear for my resignation to Presby. Either
Monday or Tuesday would suit me, but if I
have any preference it would be for Monday.
I am dear sir yours truly.

Providence, to remove by death our be-
loved Pastor, the Rev. John H. Townley,
therefore,
Resolved, That while we bow with humble
submission to the chastening hand of God,
we do at the same time gratefully record his
goodness in bestowing upon us a Pastor,
whose qualities of mind and heart, and whose
excellencies of life and character, have made
him a rich blessing in this Church and Con-
gregation, even during the short period of
his continuance with us ; and with whom
our intercourse, personal and official, has
always been profitable and pleasant, as
became the relation between us.
Resolved, That we invite the Church and
Congregation to unite with us on Thursday
next, at three o'clock P. M., in suitable de-
votional exercises at the Church, humbling
ourselves under the hand of God, and praying
that this bereavement may be sanctified to
the spiritual good of this people, and the
glory of his grace.
Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family of our late
Pastor, assuring them of our lasting interest
in their welfare, and that we confidently
commend them to the care of our covenant-
keeping God, who is the God of the widow
and the Father of the fatherless.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing re-
solutions be presented to Mrs. Townley, and
be read from the pulpit on the next Sabbath.
Resolved, That the Moderator (Rev. John
M. Johnson) and Elder Ira C. Whitehead be

[Abstract of] Report of the Treasurer of
the board of Trustees : " The Trustees
would congratulate the Parish upon the
wisdom manifested in ordering, two years
ago, a sufficient assessment upon the Pews
to meet the expenses of the Church, which
has enabled the Trustees to pay the de-
mands made upon them for the ordinary ex-
pense of supporting the Gospel, without the
previous embarrassment of a debt which
had to be raised by private subscription.
The revenue is barely sufficient for the ex-
penses, these cannot be paid quarterly
when persons permit their asiessments to
accumulate from a half to two years or more.
The sum of about $8 is a small one to col-
lect from so large a congregation monthly,
and those Trustees who have been in the
habit of taking these collections, remark,
that the money is mainly collected from a
few persons, while many of the congregation
ignore them entirely.
The Trustees would also congratulate the
congregation on the wise measure, adopted
by Parish meeting 2 years ago, and the lib-
erality with which they provided the means,
to put all the church property in complete

repair, by which they were enabled to put I
our church in such convenient and neat, not
to say beautiful condition, that while retain-
ing the prestige of being the oldest and
most venerable building in this part of the
State, it is also the most beautiful, and one
that we can look upon with a just pride and
satisfaction ; and in consequence of which
we have been enabled to hold the position
of the first church, not only by reason of
age, but also in appearance and comfort.
The result has been, that during the past
year almost every seat on the first floor of
the church has been taken and some in the
gallery.
The Burying ground hasalso been put into
such a condition, that instead of being a
disgrace to us it has been made a pleasant
retreat.
The Parsonage was also put in good con-
dition. To add to the comfort of our min-
ister, it needs the addition of a small barn,
which would enable him to keep a horse and
cow.
When the Parish can afford it, we need
an extensive alteration of our Lecture room,
with a separate room for the Sunday school,
the present location of which, in the church
gallery, is unpleasant and uncomfortable.
The grounds also about the church should
be enclosed, which was contemplated in the
general repairs, but defered for want of
funds.
During the last year about $75. have been
expended in laying out new avenues in the
grave yard, and bringing into market a
number of lots which could not before be
used.
When the Treason which has been so long
brewing in the Southern part of our once
United country, culminated in open rebel-
lion, and the beloved emblem of our nation-
ality had been shot down at Fort Sumter,
and when the patriotism of our people was
appropriately displaying itself in the raising
of the stars and stripes throughout the
Loyal States, the Trustees thought they
would be sustained by the congregation in
inviting the citizens to displaythe flag of
our liberties on the highest pinacle of our
sacred temple. It was accordingly displayed
from our steeple for several weeks. The
Trustees believe that the temple, where
Washington and many of the heroes of the
revolution were helped by the God of Battles,
would not be desecrated by so exhibitirig the
sacred emblem under which God enabled
them to march forward to victory and
liberty.
Our church has also recently been used
for the purpose of giving a farewell bene-
diction to a company of our volunteers, un-
der command of our townsman, Capt.
Brown, on the eve of their departure for
the camp at Washington to fight the bat-
tles of our country, for the preservation of
the liberty for which our forefathers fought
and bled and died to bequeath to us ; and
to help to beat bacK the b.ack cloud of re-
bellion and wickedness which threatens to
involve us all (if not arrested) in a common
ruin. If rebellion could boast of its inten-
tion to occupy in the coming winter the
cradle of Liberty at Boston, is not the sa-
cred soil of Morristown, where the immortal
Washington spent the winter of 1776,
where he laboured and prayed, and which
his devoted followers wet with the blood of
their unshod feet, right in the way of the
contemplated march ?
Was it not fit, we then ask, that the church,
standing on the very ground of the one
where Washington partook of the sacred
emblems of a Saviour's love, should be
opened for the purpose of encouraging and
praying for our patriotic citizens, who took
their lives in their hands for the purpose,
with others, of protecting us in the enjoy-
ments of the blessings we enjoy.''
The occasion, although upon a short no-
tice, drew together such a concourse as the
old church never held before : prayers were
offered. Hymns sung, addresses delivered
by Ministers and laymen ; Bibles presented
to the soldiers, a sword and pistol to Capt.
Brown, and the noble Band committed in
God's own house to his guardian care.
And, although rebels, and some in our
own midst, may sneer and hold up their
hands in holy horror at the desecration (as
they call it) of God's house for such a pur-
pose, we belieye the offering meets his ap-
probation, and will result in lasting good,
not only to the soldiers, but to us who are
left behind, and to the whole community.
In conclusion, the Trustees would ask the
congregation to unite with them in thanks-
giving to God for his goodness to us, especi-

which all else is of little worth.

"To the session of the First Presbyt erian
Church of Morris Town :
Dear Brethren.
For nearly ten years the pattoral rela-
tion has existed between you and mytelf,
and they have been to me years of pleasant-
ness and happiness, and I hope of some pro-
fit to you. Whilst in the enjoyment of
your confidence and esteem, and in the
prospect of still further usefulness among
you, I have been unexpectedly called to
assume an office of great trust and respon-
sibility, which in my present state of health
may prove beneficial to me, and which^
from my past relations to it, is congenial to
my tastes and sympathies.
In asking from you a dissolution of the
pastoral relation, believe me that it is from
no lack of affection for you and yours, nor
from any diminution of interest in the
truest welfare of the church, nor from any
want of kindness and considerate attention
on your part to me ; but solely from what I
deem, under all the circumstances, a sense
of duty to Him, who first brought me a
stranger among you, and from a hearty love
to the work to which I am called. Asking
you then to agree to the severance of the
pastoral tie, by Presbytery, it is in the con-
sciousness that you appreciate my motives
and understand the reasons for such a re-
quest, and that I appreciate your readiness
to yield to what we believe to be the clear
indications of Providence ; yet, in doing
this, rest assured that this official act on
your part will neither abate my interest in
you nor diminish my attachment for the
church, dear to us all, and which God has
so oft visited with his loving favor and be-
nignant smiles.
I cannot, however, part with you, even in
prospect, without acknowledging my full
sense of your many acts of kindness and
warm and delicate remembrances of me in
sickness, in affliction, in health, and in the
discharge of my ministerial duties ; they will
never be forgotten. And whilst I treasure
the past laden with so many pleasant memo-
ries of your acts and of God's goodness, I
desire that for you the future may be still
more fragrant with Jehovah's converting
and sanctifying presence, and that he will
provide you with a better pastor, an abler
preacher, a holier man than he who thus
parts from you in pain.
/ Yours, affectionately,
( D. Irving."
Messrs. David Olyphant, Theodore Little,
H. M. Olmsted and John F. Voorhees, by
appointment of the Parish, reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted : —
" Whereas, our pastor, Rev. Dr. Irving,
has been elected one of the Secretaries of
the Board of Foreign Missions, and has re-
quested the church to unite with him in
asking the Presbytery to dissolve his con-
nection with this church ;
Resolved, ist, That, however much we
may regret the necessity for the dissolution
of the relation which has existed so happily

between this church and its Pastor, for a
period of nearly ten years, yet deeply con-
scious of the importance of the high posi-
tion to which he has been called, and con-
vinced of his eminent fitness for the faith-
ful and successful discharge of its responsi-
ble duties, and hoping that relief from pas-
toral labour may result in his complete re-
storation to health ; we are constrained to
regard the call as a clear indication of the
will of the Great Head of the church, and to
yield to it, and to the request of our pastor,
our assent.
2nd. That, in consenting to the dissolu-
tion of the pastoral relation, we will do our-
selves injustice as a church, did we not re-
cord our high regard for our pastor, and
our sense of the unsparing devotion to his
work which he has ever manifested among
us. His urbanity of manner, his consis-
tency of life, his fidelity as a Christian Pas-
tor, and his consequent influence over his
people, have been such as will ever cause
his pastorate among us to be remembered
as one of peace and of prosperity, both tem-
poral and spiritual, in the church.
3d. That, in whatever part of the great
vineyard he may be assigned by the Master,
he will be followed by our kindest regard
for himself and family, our sincere prayers
for his success in his work, and that when
that work is accomplished he may receive
the blessing promised to those who turn
many to righteousness.
Resolved, That these resolutions be en-
tered on our minutes, and that Messrs. Ira
C. Whitehead and David Olyphant be a
committee to deliver a copy to the Pastor.
Resolved, That Ira C. Whitehead, Esq. act
as Committee to Presbytery in relation to
dissolution of Pastor and People.

him in his trials, our regard for the inter-
est of the Church, which has been for three
years practically without a Pastor, cannot
but lead us to approve of the intention ex-
pressed in our Pastor's letter of resigning

cation, it was referred to a committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Little, Davis and Dal-

"Morristown, March 31. 1873.
Theo. Little, Esq., Sec'y of Session, First
Pres. Church :
Dear Sir :
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees,
ist Pres. Church, held this evening, the fol-
lowing resolution was passed, viz : Re-
solved, That Mr. L. Kofler, the chorister and
organist, be notified by the Secretary that
the Board of Trustees have given up the ap-
pointment of chorister and organist to the

1873-
Very Respectfully, Yours,
Edward Pierson, Sec'y Board of Trustees."

utes, and thereupon the committee, ap-

tion of Session to the fact, that the build-
ing immediately adjoining the Chapel was
being fitted up, as alleged, for a hotel ; and
that application is about to be made to the
Common Council of the town for a license
to sell intoxicating liquors therein. After
consultation. Session, believing that the
licensing of a house for such purpose, so
near to the church, would prove a great an-
noj'ance to those attending public worship,
and especially those females who may wish
to attend our evening week-day prayer
meetings without an attendant, and that
there is no public necessity for the increase
of the number of such houses; Resolved to
present to the Common Council a remons-
trance against granting such license, and to
ask the Trustees to do the same. Also re-
solved, That we will, in a body, present
such remonstrance at the meeting of the
Council to be held on Friday evening next.

by the Pastor, at the meeting held May 9th,

and was unanimously adopted, to-wit :
Resolved, That while Session, after very
careful consideration, do not 2inanhnoiisly
approve of the plan recently adopted by the
congregation for making collections for
our home work and benevolence, it does
not desire, by any present action or expres-
sion of opinion, to interfere with the fair
trial of such system ; but, to provide against
any misapprehension in the future. Ses-
sion would now pvlace on record its declara-
tion of the right of exclusive jurisdiction of

the Church, as distinguished from the Con-
gregation, over all matters pertaining to
the subject of benevolence.
1873, Sep. 9. The time was occupied
mainly in considering the propriety of the
present mode of admitting persons to the
Church on profession of their faith, but,
inasmuch as the matter is now before the
General Assembly, no action was thought
advisable. It was, however. Resolved ; That
all persons who may desire to join the
Church on profession of their faith shall be
requested to meet the Pastor on the Friday
a fortnight prior to each communion, or at
that time give notice of their intended ap-
plication,
1873, Sept. 21. The attention of Session

of September, inst., to consider what action,
if any, it is advisable to take in reference
thereto.

Parish their willingness to concur in the
same, so long as it shall be for the best in-
terest of the Church ; although, by Presby-
terian law and usage, the benevolent funds
of the Church are always under the care of
the Session. They would call the attention
of the Parish to the recommendation of the
General Assembly (Minutes of 1873, page
499,) that the Churches remit monthly, or
at least quarterly ; and request them so to
alter that part of their previous action, con-
tained in Section 3 of their resolutions, so
that they may read as follows : The Treas-
urer shall first pay, on the order of the
Trustees, all expenses necessary for our
home work, not. however, exceeding the
amount designated by the Parish Meeting ;

Boards designated, and the remainder di-
vided among the eight Boards in the pro-

distributed according to our present Church

new Church organization on Morris Plains.
The Session, having received word that
Presbytery has taken steps toward the or-
ganization of a Church at Morris Plains; Re-
solved, That, although the Church would
regret parting with any of its members, yet
as it is clearly the duty of each Christian to
add his influence where it will best build up
the Kingdom of Christ, we would counsel all
members of our Church who live in the vi-
cinity of the new organization, that it is
their duty to remove their connection from
us and join themselves with the new Church.
We would add also that we will gladly wel-
come all such to worship with us at such
times as they have no service in their own
Church.

.Inasmuch as we view the duties of Session
in appointing representatives to our Church
courts, and those of Elders in such repre-
sentation, as of great and solemn impor-
tance to the individual Churches, to all our
judicatures, and to the Church at large ; and
as we desire to increase the sense of re-
sponsibility in our own representatives, and
to extend their knowledge of Church affairs,
and their interest and participation in all
Church business, therefore resolved ; That
hereafter, until further action, this Session
will be represented as follows : At the
regular monthly meeting in September an
Elder shall be elected, after special prayer
for the Lord's guidance, to act with the
Pastor as regular representatives of this
Session and Church at all the regular meet-
ings of Presbytery and Synod, for one year.
Such representative shall, unless prevented
by sickness or like imperative necessity, ac-
company the Pastor to all regular meetings
of Presbytery and Synod, and attend the
same throughout their sessions. Upon re-
turn therefrom, the Pastor and such repre-
sentative shall report to Session, as much
in detail as is practicable, the business trans-
acted, to the end that all members of Ses-
sion may enjoy equal knowledge of and
feel an equal interest, in the business of
the Church. After each meeting of Pres-
bytery or Synod, such regular representa-
tive shall present his account for disburse-
ments to Session, and the same shall be
paid out of the Session's fund. After the
adoption of the foregoing. Elder J. Duryea

any action by the Session in favor of such
change, and determining whether (if made)

such plan into effect.

Elders be elected each year. The Pastor

of the Assembly's Digest, as heretofore di-
rected.
1876, June 25. The Pastor informed Ses-
sion, that Rev. Mr. Erdman, Pastor of the
South St. Church, had proposed a joint
Communion of the members of the two
churches in our Church, on the morning of
the first Sabbath of July next. After con-
sideration, in view of the fact that our Gen-
eral Assembly had suggested the propriety
of having an historical sermon preached in
all our churches at that time, and that the
Pastor had made his preparation accord-
ingly ; Session deemed it not expedient to
change the service on the morning of the
Sabbath, but right to comply with the sug-
gestion of the Assembly; yet, realizing the
great propriety of such joint communion at ,
the present time, resolved to invite our
brethern of the South St. Church to unite
with us in such service in the evening of
that day.
1876, July 2. The invitation referred to
in the foregoing minute, having been
cordially accepted, a joint communion ser-
vice was celebrated in our Church, in the
evening of this day. The Pastors of both
Churches participated in the service, also
Elders Mitchell, Hazeltine, Graves, Hoff-
man, Burnham and Witte, of the South St.
Church, and Elders Ward, Davis, Caskey,
Stevenson, Dalrymple, VanDoren and Lit-
tle, of this Church. In the morning of this
day the Pastor preached a sermon on the
history of this Church, from its organiza-
tion, in 1738, to 1794, embracing the pasto-
rate of Dr. Timothy Johnes, the first Pastor.
1876, Sept. 6. Mr. * * presented a let-

ter of dismission from the Presbyterian
Church of * * , and asked to be received
into membership with this Church. In view
of the fact that Mr. * * resides several
miles distant, and much nearer to the
Church at * * , and of other facts, known
to members of Session, connected with this
application, Session thought it most pru-
dent, and more courteous to the Church at
* * * to ascertain, if possible, the special
cause of Mr. * * separation from that
Church, and to use its influence to induce
him to remain in connection with it, and
therefore laid his application over for future
consideration.
1876, Sept. 27. The Pastor read to Ses-
sion a letter from Rev. Mr. * *
tor of the Church of, * * 1
ence to the dismission of Mr.
whose application for admission
, Pas-
1 refer-
<t *
to this
Church had been laid over for further con-
sideration, and thereupon Mr. * * was
unanimously received.
1876, Nov. I. The subject of an increase
of the Session, having been again consid-
ered, and such increase deemed advisable, it
was unanimously resolved to recommend to
the Church to elect Messrs. Lewis Pierson,
Jr.. Aurelius B. Hull, George E. Voorhees
and William E. Church, if they will consent
to such election. The Pastor was requested
to confer with these brethern, and, if possi-
ble, procure such consent. It was further
Resolved ; That, if the brethern named give
their consent, the Pastor give notice to the
Church, for two Sabbaths before the next
service preparatory to the Communion, of
an election to be held at that time for such
increase of the Session, and also of the per-
sons whom the Session, in accordance with
the usage of the Church, recommend for
that purpose. Messrs. Stevenson and Dal-
rymple were appointed a Committee to con-
sider the expediency of increasing our Com-
munion Service and report at our next
meeting.
1877, Jan. 10. The Pastor ariived. after
considerable delay, and stated to Session
that, as he had previously informed them,
he had received a call from the 4th Presb.
Church of Chicago ;,that he had been there
to survey the ground, aird had just re-
turned ; that he wished the advice ot the
Session as to whether to accept the call or
not. After much conversation, as to the
circumstances attending the making of the
call ; Session stated that they could not
take the responsibility of advising him in
the premises, particularly as he declared
that there was nothing in the Church or
Congregation which, in his judgment, ren-
dered such a change necessary.and that per-
sonally he had no desire for it ; that he only
knew the field of labor in Chicago, and
could best judge what course he ought to
pursue. The Pastor, being much fatigued
by his journey, requested a further confer-
ence on Friday afternoon, January 12th, at
4 o'clock, to which time the meeting ad-
journed.
1877, Jan. 12. The Pastor .again stated
fully the circumstances connected with the
Call to the 4th Presb. Church of Chicago,
and also added, that, previous to going
there to survey the field, he had fully made
up his mind that his health required that he
should either have a furlough for a year, or
go to some new field where he could avail
himself of the preparation of the past eight
years ; that, on careful reflection, he was
decidedly of the opinion, the Church could
not, in its present condition, afford to give
him a furlough of a year, and that as the
Pastoral labor was more than his health
would permit him to do, he thought he was
called to accept this new field of labor,
which had been providentially opened, and
where the congregation was more concen-
trated and less pastoral labor would be re-
quired. He would, therefore, announce his
decision to the congregation on the Sab-
bath, and call a meeting to appoint Com-
missioners to unite with him, in his appli-
cation to Presbytery, to dissolve his rela-
tion to the Church as Pastor.
1877, Jan. 14. The Pastor announced his
decision, in the matter of the call to Chica-
go, to the Church, and requested a meeting
of the Parish, to be held on Tuesday, Janu-
ary i6th, 1877, to appoint Commissioners to
unite with him in his application to Presby-
tery.
1877, Jan. 31. Presbytery met in the
Chapel and voted that the Pastoral relation
be dissolved, the dissolution to take effect
after the next Sabbath,

year, I will make this application to the
Trustees of the Ch. through you as the
President of the Board, to grant six Sun-
days instead of the usual four this summer,
if they shall consider it expedient.
Very truly yours,
John Abbott French."
Upon which application it was. Resolved,

penses for the year were $5,772. ; that the

Trustees had monies in their hands belong-
ing to the Memorial Fund, they were re-
quested to furnish the meeting with a state-
ment of how much of the debts due the
Church, at the time of the raising of the
Memorial Fund, has since been collected.

After considerable discussion and several
ineffectual motions, the following report
was ordered to be recorded upon the min-
utes of the Parish, by 4 ayes to 3 noes :
"The committee, appointed some four or
five years ago to build a Chapel, in reply to
the resolution of the Parish meeting held on
the i8th inst., requesting them to furnish
the Parish, at an adjourned meeting to be
held this evening, with a statement of the
cost of said building, beg leave to say :
That although the Chapel was erected un-
der their direction, and mainly under con-
tracts made by them, a very considerable
portion or the work was not done by con-
tract ; that no part of the money collected
was received or disbursed by your commit-
tee, but the whole amount was paid into
the Treasury of the Church and disbursed
by the Trustees or their Treasurer on the
order of the committee ; and that when the
building was accepted and dedicated, all
papers relating thereto in the possession of
144
PASTORATE OF THE REV. JOHN ABBOTT FRENCH.
the Building Committee were delivered to
the Trustees, who can doubtless give to the
Parish the desired information.
" Your committee trust they will be excus-
ed for expressing their regret that it should
have been deemed expedient to place such
a resolution as the one referred to, on the
records of the Church, nearly two years
after the completion of the Chapel and the
discharge of the committee.
" Dated Sept. 25, 1871.
Austin Requa. Prest.,
Theo. Little,
H. M. Olmsted,
Geo. Vail,
Building Com."
December 26, 1871. Trustees. Resolved,
That, after careful examination and consid-
eration of the assets and liabilities of this
Church, we find the probability so strong
that all its assets will be required for the
discharge of its said liabilities, that nothing
further ought to be claimed by or paid to
the Memorial Fund by this Board; and, on
the other hand, this Board will not require
any further sum in diminution of said Fund,
but the Treasurer of the Session is now
tree to pay over to the proper parties the
balance of said Fund.
The Committee on Music reported the
engagement for another year of Mr. J. R.
Runyon as Chorister, at^the same salary as
previous year. Similar services to be ren-
dered by said Chorister, who voluntarily
declared his willingness to terminate the
arrangement at any time he should be re-
quested to do so by the committee. Report
was accepted.
Voted, That the salary of Mr. Whitehead
the Sexton, be increased from and after ist
January, 1872, to the rate of five hundred
dollars annually, conditionally upon his
agreeing to devote, in addition to his hith-
erto regular duties, as much of his time to
the collection of dues to the Church as may
be required of him by the Treasurer or
Secretary of this Board. This arrangement
to be considered as existing only during the
pleasure of the Trustees.
6th March, 1872. Trustees. Theo. Little,
Esq., was present as one of a committee of
two appointed by the Session to confer
with the Trustees, A. Requa, Esq., the other
member of said committee being unable to
attend. The subject of conference was
the resolution of the Trustees, relative to
occupation of Pews Nos. * * ♦ and *
which had been communicated to the Ses-
sion. Mr. Little reported that the Session
did not regard it to be proper to appro-
priate any part of the weekly contributions
of the Church to the payment either of the
arrears or accruing pew rents of parties
pleading inability to pay. He recommended
that the matter be allowed to remain undis-
turbed until next Parish meeting, when it
could be brought up by the Trustees, (and
discussed in connection with the financial
report then to be made), and acted upon by
said meeting. After considerable discussion
of an informal nature the Board adjourned
without taking any action on the subject.
2oth March, 1872. Trustees. The follow-
ing communication was received from the
Session : " Resolved, That the Session re-
commend to the Trustees that a leave of
absence of four months be granted our Pas-
tor, with the continuance of his salary; and
that the pulpit during that time be filled at
the expense of the Church." Upon consid-
eration it was thought best, before acting
upon the communication, to ascertain
whether subscriptions could be obtained to
cover the cost of supplying the pulpit, and
thus the action of Trustees become neces-
sary only upon the points of leave of ab-
sence and continuance of salary. The meet-
ing was therefore adjourned to the call of
the Secretary.
25 March, 1872. Trustees. Mr. E. T.
Caskey reported subscriptions to a suffici-
ent amount to cover the probable cost of
supplying the pulpit during the pastor's
absence, whereupon the following pre-
amble and resolution were moved and
unanimously carried, viz : Whereas, The
estimated cost of supplying the pulpit dur-
ing the proposed absence of Rev. J. A.
French has been provided for by individual
subscription, so that the expense of such
supply will not fall upon the Society at
large, and the action of the Trustees in that
behalf has been rendered unnecessary.there-
fore " Resolved, That the recommendation
of the Session respecting the granting lo
TftUSfEES AND PARISH.
i4S
the Rev. J. A. French a leave of absence
of four months, with the continuance of his
salary, be concurred in by the Trustees."
May 8, 1872. Trustees. The condition
of the Grave yard and fences in rear
of the Church was discussed and a form
of circular adopted, which the Secre-
tary was directed to have printed and
a copy sent through the mail to each owner
of a lot or lots and others known to feel an
interest in the Burial Ground as the place
of interment of friends or relations, setting
forth the facts of its condition, &c., &c., and
calling for voluntary donations or contribu-
tions for the proposed object, aiming to
riiise at least $500.
May 23. 1872. Trustees. Application was
made by Major H. M. Dalrymple, on beh-'.lf
of the Assoc'n of the " Grand Army of the
Republic," for the use of the church build-
ing for the public exercises of the Assoc'n
on 30th instant, the day designed as " Dec-
oration Day." Consent was granted.
Sept. 18, 1872. Annual Parish meeting.
Judge Richard W. Stites, Chairman. The
Parish Clerk. Secretary. Seventeen persons
present.
The Treasurer reported: Receipts, $6,-
107.98; disbursements, $6,139.60, making a
deficiency of $31.62; of subscriptions to
liquidate the debt $895.99 had been collected,
and $916.13 had been paid on the debt.
A pulpit supply account, extraordinary,
was also presented, showing $475. to have
been received from individu.il subscriptions
to defray the expense of supplying the pul-
pit during the leave of absence granted the
pastor, Rev. J. A. French, by the Session
and Trustees.
The Trustees also reported, That the fund,
for putting in order the fences and grounds
of the Cemetery adjoining the Church,
amounts at this date to $555.. of which there
remains the sum of $roo.o6 to be applied,
when collected, to the purposes of the
fence. The old paling fence on the north-
erly and easterly sides of the burial ground
has been thoroughly repaired, and strength-
ened, and an entirely new tight board fence
erected on the westerly side, The work of
clearing the weeds, grass and undergrowth
is in progress, and together with the im-
provement of the paths will be continued
until the fund is exhausted.
The following were elected Trustees :
Messrs. A. B. Hull, Geo. W. Forsyth, James
Anderson, Wm. E. Church, Wm. E. Bailey,
Daniel Leek and Augustus Cutler ; and
Charles E. Pierson was chosen Parish Clerk.
September 23, 1872. Trustees. Mr. For-
syth was elected President ; William E.
Church, Secretary ; Daniel H. Leek, Treas-
urer.
Sept. 26, 1872. Trustees. The Secretary
informed the Board that, on account of ill-
health, Mr. William E. Bailey declined to
serve as Trustee. The Music Committee
was instructed to engage Mr. John R. Run-
yon to conduct the musical services of the
Church for the ensuing year at a salary of
$400., with the express understanding that
the Church will not divide his services as
Chorister or Conductor with any other
Church or congregation.
Oct. I, 1872. Trustees. The Music Com-
mittee reported. That Mr. Runyon declined
to accept the proposition of the Trustees,
and, his engagement having expired on the
30th ult., it was necessary to secure at once
the services of some other Chorister. The
matter was referred to Mr. Church, with
power.
The Treasurer reported, That he had only
about $300., in hand to meet the quarterly
payment of salary now due the Pastor, and
thereupon he was authorized to procure, if
possible, from delinquent pew-holders who
would not pay cash, promissory notes at 30
or 60 days for the amount due and have the
same discounted.
The following preamble and resolution
were then adopted, and the Secretary was
instructed to transmit a copy thereof to the
Session. Whereas, the adoption by the
Session, of the system of collection now in
use in the Church, has had the effect to de-
prive the Trustees of the amount usually
raised by monthly collection for incidental
expenses, and no provision has been made
or exists for supplying such deficiency ;
therefore, Resolved, That the amount col-
lected on the last Sabbath in each month be
and is hereby appropriated towards the
payment of the current expenses of the
Church.
Oct. 4, 1872. In compliance with request
of the Session the following Trustees met the
Session in conference, Messrs. Forsyth, Leek
1^6
PASTORATE OF THE REV. JOHN ABBOTT FRENCH.
and Church. The Session announced two
subjects upon which conference was de-
sired. I St. The appropriation by the Trus-
tees of the collection for current expenses.
2nd. The action of the Trustees in appoint-
ing a Chorister. In regard to the first, it
was represented by the Session that the
system of collections now in use had been
adopted by a Church meeting called for the
purpose, and that the appropriation pro-
posed, if carried into effect, would be likely
to create dissatisfaction and cause a material
falling off in the collection for that Sab-
bath ; and desired that the Trustees allow
the matter to drop until the next Parish
meeting. The Trustees, in reply, repre-
sented the need of money, the cutting off of
the former supply, the lack of provision un-
der the new system for meeting such de-
ficiency, the fact that by the appropriation
proposed, many non-pew-holders who were
regular attendants and able to contribute to
the expense of the Church, would so con-
tribute, and many other reasons for their
action. The Session requested that the
Trustees would further consider the matter.
The second subject of conference was
then taken up, and it appearing that the
Session had been informed of the action of
the Trustees in not renewing the engage-
ment with Mr. Runyon, and in making an
engagement with Mr. Kofier (such engage-
ment having been made since the last meet-
ing of the Board), the Trustees present de-
sired to know what information (and from
whom) the Session had received ; in answer
to which request it was stated substantially
that the late Chorister had informed the
Session, by note, that he had been notified
by the Trustees that his services were no
longer needed. It was insisted by the Session
that the selection of Chorister, whenever
such selection became necessary, belonged
to them, and the Trustees were urged to
take such action in the present instance as
should establish a precedent in favor of the
Session. The Trustees present agreed to
lay the matter before the Board, reminding
the Session, however, that the usage of the
Church, and, in their opinion, the law, were
opposed to such action. The conference
was protracted, and both subjects fully and
carefully discussed.
Oct. 7, 1872. Trustees. The following'
communication, which had been ordered,
was approved :
Morristown, Oct. 10, 1872.
Rev. John A. French,
Moderator, &c.
Rev. and Dear Sir :
At the recent conference of certain of the
Trustees with the Session, the following
questions among others, were presented for
the consideration of the Board, viz : — Does
not the election of Church Chorister belong
of right to the Session? and o\x^\\t not the
Trustees now to take such action as will es-
tablish a precedent in favor thereof? At a
regular meeting of the Board, held on the
evening of the 7th instant, these questions
received an extended and careful discussion,
resulting in the unanimous conclusion.
First, That the selection and appointment
of Chorister are inherent rights and duties
of the Board of Trustees. Seco7td, That even
if the Board err in this opinion, yet, inas-
much as they have already, in accordance
with a usage immemorial, and practically
unbroken, made choice of and engagement
with a Chorister, there would seem to be
no propriety in any further action on their
part.
By order of the Board of Trustees.
Very Resp'y,
W. E. Church.
Sec'y.
Nov. 13, 1872. Trustees. The President
reported that Miss Johnson having resigned
her position as Organist he had negotiated
with Mr. Kofier, subject to approval of the
Board, to play the organ and act as Chor-
ister for $50. per month to May ist, 1873.
On motion the President was authorized to
conclude the arrangements, endeavoring to
secure to the Trustees the option of an ex-
tension for one year from May ist, 1873.
Resolved, That the President and Treasurer
be, and they are hereby, directed to execute
and procure to be discounted, the note of
the Trustees at three months for $1,000.
and apply the proceeds towards defraying
the current obligations of the Board.
Nov. 25, 1872. Parish Meeting: Mr.
Jacob Crane, Chairman. About 30 present.
Mr. Forsyth read a long statement tend-
ing to show an annual deficit in the Qhi^fch
accounts of $1,000. . r!, , , . ,

structed to make an additional charge
against all persons occupying pews belong-
ing to the Church, equal to the interest on
the assessed value of such pews ; [2d,] That
the Trustees be instructed to acquire title
to all pews owned bj' non-residents, upon
which the rent is not paid ; [3d,] That the
Trustees be instructed to apply to the Dea-
cons of the Church, for payment out of the
fund under their control of the pew rent, in
whole or in part, of persons occupying pew,
who are unable to pay the same ; [4th,]
That the Trustees be instructed to use the
most prompt and vigorous measures to col-
lect all arrears of pew rents.
Dec. 5, 1872. Trustees. The Treasurer
having reported that he had several appli-
cations from responsible parties, for pews
now in possession of delinquents, he was
authorized to notify such delinquents that
unless their arrears were immediately set-
tled, their pews would be let to other par-
ties. The President was authorized to take
legal measures lor the collection of arrears
from any and all delinquents who, in his
judgment, were able to pay.
February 27, 1873. Parish Meeting. Num-
ber present 24. Mr. Forsyth, President of
the Board of Trustees, presented the fol-
lowing communication :
"To the Parish of the First Presbyterian
Church at Morristown :
•' The undersigned. Trustees elected al the
last Annual Parish Meeting of said Church,
hereby tender the resignation of their of-
fices, to take effect on the eleventh day of
March next.
" As it is proper that the Parish should be
informed of the reasons for our action we
submit the following as the principal one,
but one in our estimation, sufficient to
justify our action.
" It was represented at the Parish, at a
special meeting held on the 26th day of No-
vember last, that the expenses of the
Church exceeded the revenue thereof at
least one thousand dollars per year ; that
the Trustees were then indebted one thous-
and dollars on a note then recently dis-
counted, which the Trustees had nu pros-
pect of liquidating at maturity out of the
revenues of the Church, and the Parish was
asked to take such measures for the relief
the payment of that note, and also increase
the revenues of the Church sufficiently to
meet the annual current expenses. No ac-
tion was taken for the relief of the Trustees,
and as their note approached maturity, they
were obliged to raise funds to meet its pay-
ment by voluntary subscription. The note
is now paid, and the Trustees owe no debts
which they have not sufficient funds to
liquidate, but feel assured that in the pres-
ent situation of the annual revenues receiv-
able by them, they will probably before the
commencement of the next Parish year, be
compelled to raise more money by voluntary
subscription to defray current expenses of
the Church, or else hand over to their suc-
cessors a debt of considerable amount for
liquidation. The Trustees are unwilling to
solicit further voluntary contributions, or
any longer to incur debts which they can-
not receive sufficient revenues to meet, and
for that reason resign their offices.
" The Trustees in tendering their resigna-
tions, would suggest to the Parish that in
their opinion the revenues of the Church
cannot be further increased by taxing the
pews, the annual assessment on the pews
being now as large as it is expedient to put
upon them. But the Trustees would recom-
mend for the consideration of the Parish, as
a remedy for the financial embarrassment,
that the present Board of Trustees have la-
bored under, and which another Board must
encounter, either the appropriation from
the Sunday collection of sufficient each
quarter year, to meet any deficiency which
may then exist towards defraying current
expenses, or, the restoring to the Trustees
their monthly collection.
Geo. W. Forsyth, Augustus W. Cutler,
James Anderson, W. E. Church, A. B.
Hull, Daniel H. Leek.
Dated February 22. 1S73."
Resolved [ist,] to lay the motion to ac-
cept the resignation of the Trustees, on the
table, to be taken up and considered at a
Parish meeting to be held March nth, 1873,
at three o'clock in the afternoon, and that
the Trustees be directed to call a meetino-
on that day to consider or reeeive such
resignations, and if received, to elect a new
board at the same time ; [2d,] That a com-
mittee of five be appointed to devise and

tablishing on a permanent basis, the
finances and benevolence of the Church ;
such plan to be presented in such shape as
may be deemed rao;t suitable to the meet-
ing to be convened March nth. The com-
mittee consisted of the following :
Theodore Little and Henry M. Dalrymple,
from the Session; Geo. W. Forsyth and A.
B. Hull, from the Trustees : Geo. E. Voor-
hees, from the Parish ; with the Pastor,
Mr. French, ex officio.
March ii, 1873. Parish Meeting. Num-
ber present, about 100, including many la-
dies ; Mr. Jas. C. Youngblood. Chairman.
On motion of Mr. J. H. Johnson, it was
Resolved, That the resignation of the Board
of Trustees, offered at the last meeting, be
not accepted.
On motion of Mr. T. Little, it was Re-
solved, That the report of the Committee of
Five appointed at the last meeting, be now
received.
The committee then reported as follows,
stating that they had distributed printed
copies of the said report in the pews on the
previous Sabbath :
" The committee appointed at the recent
Parish Meeting to consider the different
plans proposed for collecting the current
expenses of the church, and to recommend
to an adjourned meeting to be held on
Tuesday, March 11, 1873, at three o'clock P.
M., such plans as they might approve, after
several conferences and much considera-
tion, resolved to present to the parish the
plan of volimtary contributions, as stated be-
low.
"Inasmuch as the success of any system
must depend on the cordiality with which
it is adopted, and the proposed system does
not meet the unanimous approval of the
Committee, they further resolved, unani-
mously, to recommend that the plan shall
not be adopted unless it shall receive the
vote of at least three-fourths of the pew-
holders who shall attend the meeting.
A. B. Hull.
George W. Forsyth,
George E. Voorhees,
H. M. Dalrymple,
Theodore Little,
Cofntnittee.
Dated March 7, 1873."
The plan presented with the above re-
port was the same substantially, as that
which was adopted at a subsequent stage of
the meeting.
Mr. Wm. E. Church offered a resolution
that the report and plan be adopted.
Considerable discussion then ensued by
those favoring and opposing the plan.
A communication was read opposing the
plan ; also one favoring it.
Mr. Youngblood, after calling Mr. Hull
to the Chair, offered the following plan as a
substitute, and moved its adoption ;
Whereas, It is desirable that the pew
rents should be fixed at such rates as will
enable persons of moderate means to enjoy
the Gospel, and occupy suitable pews;
And Whereas, It is also desirable that
churches, as well as individuals, should be
just before they are generous, and, that the
current expenses of the Church be first paid
out of any funds which may be paid or con-
tributed by the congregation ; therefore. Be
it resolved, That the assessment upon the
valuation of pews be reduced from 35 to 28
per cent., and
Be it resolved. That the Trustees shall
make and present at each regular Annual
Parish Meeting, an estimate of the amount
necessary to make up the probable defi-
ciency in the current expenses for the ensu-
ing year, which sum shall be paid by the
Sessii^n to the Trustees, in equal quarterly
payments, out of the contributions made on
the Sundays in each quarter (except the
first Sunday in each month), and that the
balance be apportioned by the Session as
usual.
The above resolutions were freely dis-
cussed.
The Pastor made remarks (in which he
carefully refrained from expressing any
preference for either plan), calling upon all
persons to vote.
The Chairman having first decided that
only those were entitled to vote who con-
tributed regularly to home expenses of the
Church, the question of the adoption of
the substitute resolutions was put to vote,
and decided in the negative by a very large
majority.
The original plan then came up, and, af-
ter amendment in some slight particulars,
was adopted in the following form, by a
TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
149
vote of 42 in the affirmative to 3 in the
negative :
Whereas, the duty of supporting the gos-
pel, both at home and abroad, rests on
each individual in proportion to his abili-
ty, and it is desirable that the discharge
of this duly shall be clearly presented to
each person as a matter of conscience :
Resolved, That we adopt the following
modifications of our present system of mak-
ing collections for Church expenses and
benevolence.
First— The present Sabbath collection
shall be continued. The moneys collected
on the first Sabbath of each month shall be
given to the particular objects to which
they have been given during the past year.
The collection for March to be given
to such cause as the session may desig-
nate. All moneys received from the
Sabbath collections, or from any other
source, shall be paid to a Treasurer, to be
elected at the Annual Parish Meeting. The
Treasurer shall keep a correct account of
all moneys received by him, and pay the
same as hereinafter directed ; and shall
render a statement of his receipts and dis-
bursements quarterly to both the Trustees
and Session ; and at each Annual Parish
Meeting shall submit a full report for the
year.
Second — At each Annual Parish Meeting
the Trustees shall submit for the approval
of the Parish an estimate of the probable
expenses of our home work for the ensuing
year; and immediately after such meeting
each pew holder shall be called on, in such
mode as the Trustees may deem advisable,
to determine what amount he or she will
agree to pay in monthly payments towards
such expenses — such payment to be made
by inclosing the amount in envelopes to be
provided for that purpose by the Treasurer,
and returning the envelopes to the Treas-
urer on the second Sabbath of each month,
with the name of the pew holder or the
number of the pew.
Third — The Treasurer shall promptly for-
ward all moneys which may be contributed
for any specific object, and out of the other
moneys received by him shall first pay, on
the orders of the Trustees, which shall be
drawn quarterly so far as practicable, all
expenses necessary for our home work.
not, however, exceeding the amount desig-
nated by the Parish Meeting. Of the bal-
ance of such money, he shall pay eight-
twelfths to the eight boards of our church,
in quarterly payments, in the proportion
recommended by the General Assembly for
the current year, and four-twelfths shall
constitute the contingent fund of the Ses-
sion, to be paid on their order and to be
used for the support of the poor of the
church, the exjicnses of the Sabbath School,
and matters of a similar kind.
Fourth — If, during any year, the cur-
rent expenses of our home work shall
from any cause exceed the estimate of
the parish meeting, it shall be the duty of
the Trustees to provide for such excess, if
possible, by special application to the mem-
bers of the congregation, and if such effort
shall fail, such excess shall be included in
the estimate, and be paid out of the collec-
tions of the next year.
Fifth— Five of the pews, which are now
unoccupied, being first reserved by the Trus-
tees for the use of strangers and families
which may hereafter remove to the town,
the remainder of those now unoccupied
shall be assigned to such families as may
apply for the same in the order of their ap-
plication. And no person shall be deprived
of his pew so long as he or his family shall
occupy the same, it being understood that
this provision is not to affect the sale or
other disposition of pews not owned or con-
trolled by the church.
It was, on motion of Mr. Theo. Little, Re-
solved,
ist. That the Parish year from this time
be considered as closing on the 12th day of
March, and the Annual Parish Meeting
shall, after this year, be held on the first
Tuesday thereafter, at such time as may be
appointed by the Trustees.
2d. That a Treasurer be now elected, in
accordance with the system this day
adopted, and that all collections made after
March 12th, 1873, be disposed of according
to such system.
3d. That the sum of $6,500. be designated
as the amount to be collected for home work
during the ensuing year.
Mr. A. B. Hull was unanimously elected
Treasurer for the ensuing year.
ISO
PASTORATE OF THE REV. JOHN ABBOTT FRENCH.
On motion, the following preamble and
resolution was passed :
••Whereas. The Trustees, in accordance
with the instructions of the Parish, have
commenced legal proceedings for the col-
lection of unpaid pew rents ; and, Whereas,
In some instances executions have been is-
sued, and families will be distressed thereof;
Resolved. That all legal proceedings for
the collection of unpaid assessments
be abandoned, and the future payment of
the same be left to the Christian obligation
of the debtor."
Mr. W. E. Church, on behalf of the Trus-
tees, again offered their resignations, when
Mr. Youngblood, chairman, decided that
the action of the meeting had already ter-
minated their offices/and that there were
no Trustees.
It was then, Resolved, That we proceed
to the election of a new Board of Seven
Trustees.
Nominations were received, the vote
taken by ballot, and the following gentle-
men declared elected : George Vail, Lewis
Pierson, Jr., Henry M. Olmsted, George
E. Voorhees, Edward Pierson, Joseph C.
Bird, and David Gillespie.
The former Parish Clerk having with-
drawn, James R. Voorhees was elected to
that oflice viva voce.
On motion it was Resolved. That the
Treasurer collect the pew rents due on the
I2th inst. and pav all expenses of the
church up to that date, and that no chaige
be made for interest on pews belonging to
the Church.
On motion it was Resolved. That the
proceedings of this meeting be printed and
copies placed in the church pews, by the
Parish Clerk.
On motion meeting adjourned.
Friday, March 14. 1873. Trustees. H. M.
Olmsted was elected President, and Edward
Pierson, Secretary.
The form of a card for distribution in the
pews, in compliance with the plan adopted
at the Parish meeting for raising money for
the support of the Gospel, was presented by
the President and adopted by the Board.
The Secretary was ordered to have 500
printed, and to procure envelopes and have
them directed and distributed in the Pews
on Sunday, 23d inst.
March 31, 1873. Trustees. Absent, Geo.
Vail, he having notified the President that
he declined to act as Trustee.
Com. on Music reported that they had
a conference with a Committee of the Ses-
sion, and submitted a report in writing,
which after discussion by the members of
the Board, was ordered to be accepted by a
vote of four in the affirmative, and two in
the negative, and was also ordered to be
placed on the minutes, as follows : The
Trustees at the commencement of their of-
ficial duties find themselves under the ne-
cessity of deciding, whether to them, or to
the Session of the Church, of right belongs
the power and responsibility of electing a
Choister and an Organist, which was a mat-
ter in difference, between the late Board of
Trustees, and the Session. The Trustees
have given the matter careful examination
and consideration, and while it is undoubt-
edly true that the practice has been for
many years past, for the Trustees to make
such appointments, and so far as the Trus-
tees know the propriety of that course was
not questioned until within the last three
or four years, the Trustees are, after full
consideration and conference with the Ses-
sien, constrained to record their correction
and acknowledgement, that both under the
law of the State, and the law of the Church
as expounded by the General Assembly, the
exclusive control of the music, whether in-
strumental or vocal, as a part of the wor-
ship belongs to the Session, and that such
contract, of necessity, implies and requires
that the Session shall have the power to
appoint and discharge those who officiate
as leaders. Resolved, That Mr. Kofler, the
Chorister and Organist, be notified by the
Secretary that the Board of Trustees have
given the appointment ofChorister and Or-
ganist to the Session of the Church, and re-
fer him to them for any arrangement after
I St May next.
June 17, 1873. Trustees. Resolved, That
the request of Mr. Morgan for the use of the
Church, for the purpose of a concert of mu-
sic be denied and his communication be re-
turned to Mr. French.
July 8, 1873. Trustees. The Remonstrance
against granting license to Mr. N. B. Luse.as
acted upon by the Session of the Church and
signed by th6m, was then read; after rerriai'ks

by the members, it was resolved that it be
signed by the members present as Trustees,
and presented to the Common Council of
Morristown.
July II, 1873. Trustees. The following
communication was read, viz :
" Morristown, July 10, 1873.
Mr. Edward Pierson :
Dear Sir :
I wish through you to ask of the Board
of Trustees, that the time ot'my annual va-
cation be made six weeks this year, as I
find that amount essential to my condition
for work in the Church; and when I provide
a part of it for myself it makes confusion in
the supply of the pulpit.
Hoping this request may be granted,
I remain cordially yours,
John Abbott French."
Upon which application it was Resolved,
that the request of the Rev. J. A. French
be granted, and that the pulpit be supplied
at the expense of the Church during his
six weeks vacation.
Jan'y. 16, 1874. Trustees. The President
read the following letter, viz :
" New York, Jan'y. 13, 1874.
H. M. Olmsted :
Dear Sir:
A German Church, intending to join the
Presby. Synod of Morris and Orange, has
been organized. They have had public wor-
ship in the South St. Pres. Church at 4^ P.
M. for a month past, but this hour being
entirely too late they desire to meet in the
morning. I would therefore respectfully
enquire, whether the Chapel of your Church
could be granted to them for Public Ser-
vice at loj A. M, every other Sabbath. The
next meeting is the next Sabbath in the
South St. Church Basement, at 4J P. M.,
and if their request for the use of the Chapel
should be granted it would be desirable to
receive your reply before that time, so that
notice of change of place and time might
be given them. Prof Henurg, of the Bloom-
field Seminary, is to be the Pastor.
Respectfully yours,
M. C. G. Witte."
After the reading of the above it was Re-
solved, that the President be authorized to
reply, offering them the use of the Chapel
as requested.

A communication from the Session in re-
gard to the disposition of moneys, was
adopted and ordered copied in the minutes,
and is as follows : " The Session having
carefully considered the plan of church sup-
port as adopted by the parish meeting of
March nth, 1873, hereby express to the
Parish their willingness to' concur in the
same so long as it shall be for the best in-
terest of the church ; although by Presby-
terian law and usage the benevolent funds
of the church are always under the care of
the Session. They would also call the at-
tention of the Parish to the recommenda-
tion of the General Assembly (Minutes of
1873, page 499), that the churches remit
monthly, or at least quarterly ; and request
them so to alter that p«rt of their previous
action contained in section third of their
resolutions, so that they may read as follows :
The Treasurer shall first pay on the order
of the Trustees all expenses necessary for
our home work, not, however, exceeding
the amount designated by the Parish Meet-
ing ; and the balance, excepting four-
twelfths of the undesignated contributions,
he shall remit monthly to the Treasurer of
the Assembly's Committee of benevolence,
to be distributed by him as follows : The
special contributions to be sent to the dif-
ferent Boards designated and the remainder
divided among the eight boards in the pro-
portion recommended by the General As-
sembly. The four-twelfths above stated
shall constitute the Session fund, to be dis-
tributed according to our present church
system of benevolence."
Mr. A, B. Hull was re-elected Treasurer.
The following persons were elected Trus-
tees: Mr. Lewis Pierson, Jr., Henry M.
Olmsted, George E. Voorhees, Edward Pier-
son, Joseph C. Bird, David Gillespie, Wm.
C. Caskey. Mr. James R. Voorhees was re-
elected Parish Clerk.
Mr. Wm. E. Church, Supt. of the Sunday
School, represented to the meeting that the
school was outgrowing its quarters, already
it is much cramped for room, and increased
accommodations is imperatively demanded.
Upon his motion it was, after much discus-
cussion, resolved [ayes 8, noes 6], That it be
referred to the Board of Trustees, to take
into consideration some plan for enlarging
the accommodations of the Sunday-school,
and to report to the Parish such plan as
shall seem most suitable, as soon as con-
veniently may be.
Dec. 14, 1874. Trustees. The following
paper was adopted : Whereas, the Treasur-
er, A. B. Hull, Esq., has addressed a letter
to the Board of Trustees and Session of the
ist Pres. Church conjointly, bearing date
Dec. 12, 1874, in which he rendered a state-
ment of finances showing a probable deficit
in the Treasury on the ist of April, 1875 of
$600, and notifying them that until other-
wise advised he will retain in the Treasury
all moneys of the Sunday offerings not con-
tributed or designated for a specific object.
Therefore, Resolved, That a committee of
be appointed by the chair to meet a
like committee of the Session at such time
as the Session may appoint, to consider to-
gether the Treasurer's communication. The
resolution was lost by three voting for and
three against its adoption.
The following preamble and resolution
was then offered, viz : That, Whereas, the
Treasurer, A. B. Hull, Esq., having notified
the Board of Trustees that he is in receipt
of the sum of $594.45. being a bequest, abso-
lute and subject to no condition, by the
late Abel Minard to the ist Pres. Church,
and Whereas, The Testator having in his
Will expressed his desire that the sum be
used and applied by the Pastor of said
Church for purposes indicated by him,

pledge the amount which they are willing
to pay towards our home work promptly at
the beginning of the Parish year, this be-
ing essential to the proper working of our
system of church support.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the success
of any plan of Church support depends up-
on the co-operation of all in it, that the
Treasurer is hereby requested from time to
time, in the name of the Parish, to invite all
regular attendants upon the church, to con-
tribute to its support under the plan now,
in force, by liberal annual pledge and
prompt monthly payment, and to forward
statements of account to any in arrears.
March 14th, 1876. Parish Meeting. About

were specially appointed at the last meet-
ing of the Board, held Dec. 17th, 1875, un-
der the following resolution : " Upon mo-
tion of Trustee Stevenson it was resolved
That in view of the critical position of our
Church in its present manifest need of
larger accommodations and its utter want
of preparation for future responsibiIities,and
in view of the impracticability of altering
the present building, the President, Clerk,
and Trustees Voorhees, Caskey and Leek,
be appointed a special committee to con-
sider the establishment of a new Church
Building Fund, looking to the erection of a
new church, and if the same be considered
wise, to report a scheme for such fund with
details of collection." .,
Your committee now respectfully report
to the Board : That we have carefully con-
sidered the matter given us in charge, and
do unanimously favor the establishment of
a new Church Building Fund for the pur-
pose proposed, and advise that the Board
recommend the same to the Parish ; that we
have also considered and herewith report a
scheme with details of collection for said
fund, to be adopted by the Parish. All of
which is respectfully submitted.
Dated March 6th, 1876. Lewis Pierson.

hees, William C. Caskey, Daniel H. Leek-

new Church Building Fund, the same to be
gathered and invested by them, and to be
held subject to the order of the Parish,
Third. That the collection taken upon the
'third Sabbath of each month to be devoted
to this Fund (the present plan ol Church
support and beneficence being modified in
accordance herewith) and be paid over by
the Treasurer to the Special Trustees of the
new Church Building Fund, and that they
be requested to take such other steps as
they shall think wise, to obtain subscrip-
tions to their Fund.
The Trustees also reported, That upon
receiving said report, so vital to the Church
did your Board consider this subject to be,
that we invited the Session, Deacons,
Treasurer, Parish Clerk and Sabbath School
Superintendent to meet and advise with us
upon the same. That meeting was largely
attended, and after careful consultation,
reached a union of opinion suggesting some
changes in the form of the report, until it
appeared as above given, whereupon the
report was unanimously adopted by your
Board. We now present the same report
and scheme annexed as our official recom-
mendation to the Parish.
Under the circumstances of the Parish,
and the recommendation above presented,
your Board see no way to provide for an
extension of the Sabbath School building
at this time.

with one exception.

Parish Clerk was requested to place on re-
cord, as full minutes of the meeting as pos-
[§ible,, which he has endeavored to do. and
TPSpectfjilly submit to, the Parish for ap-
proval what has already been read, and also
what is to follow.
The Pastor stated that it was about one
hundred years ago, that this Parish was
called together, to discuss the plan of build-
ing a Church, the present building that we
worship in, and at that time there was a
strong opposition to the project lead by two
of the Session of the Church, but now every
officer of the Church was in favor of the
movement.
It was requested that all persons present
should give in their names to the Parish
Clerk to be recorded in the minutes of the

Jan. 16. 1877, Parish meeting. There was
a large attendance of the congregation, Mr.
Henry M. Dalrymple being called to the
chair.
Our pastor was called upon to open the
meeting with prayer, after which he tendered
his resignation to the Parish, for the reasons
as stated from the pulpit on the previous
Sunday, that he was unable to perform the
pastoral duty of the Church as it should be
performed, and therefore he wished to ac-
cept the call of the Fourth Presbyterian
church of Chicago.
The resignation was accepted, and Messrs.
J. Duryee Stevenson and William E. Church
were appointed to act with our pastor be-
fore Presbytery.
Resolved, [ist,] That a committee of
twelve be appointed to select six from their
own number and the church to find a pastor
after our present pastoral connection is^
dissolved.
On motion of Mr. H. M. Olmsted it was
[2d,] That the chair appoint the committee
three from the session, three from the trus-
tees, and six from the congregation at large,
and that the committee be announced from
the pulpit next Sunday morning ; also, that
the committee have power to fill any va-
cancy that may occur.
[3d], That a call be extended to any minis-
ter whom the committee of six shall unani-
mously agree upon, and also, that the pul-
pit be not open to candidates.
[4th,] That the salary be fixed at $3,000
per annum and a parsonage.
Mr. French having been requested to
withdraw from the meeting, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, our pastor. Rev. John A. French,
has been constrained by the impaired state
of his health to request this Church and
congregation to unite with him in asking
Presbytery to release him from his pastoral
charge : Resolved ist, That while we re-
cognize and appreciate the force of the
reasons stated by our pastor for this re-
quest, and believe that he has sincerely
sought through it, to promote the best
spiritual interests of this Church, as well as
our own future usefulness, and do therefore
unite with him in his application, we desire
to place on record an expression of an un-
feigned regret that any necessity exists for
the dissolution of the relation which has
existed so happily for the past eight years.
2d, That it is to us no less a pleasure than
a duty, in view of the resignation of our
Pastor, and his intended removal to another
portion of the great field, to bear our testi-
mony to his special pulpit ability and to his
catholicity of spirit, and that his ministry
among us has been marked by " a deport-
ment in all respects becoming a minister of
the gospel of Christ;" and to assure him
that he will carry with him the respect and
kind regard not only of every member of
this Church and congregation, but also as
we believe of Christians of every name in
our midst, who will unite with us in pray-
ing for the happiness of himself and family
and for his eminent success in his future
ministerial work. 3d, That a copy of these
resolutions, signed by the officers of this
meeting be sent to the Pastor.
January 22d, 1877.
The following notice was read from the
pulpit yesterday morning, January 21st, by
the Pastor : " By direction of the Parish at
its last meeting, the following named per-
sons are hereby announced as a *' committee
of twelve" who shall select from its own
number and from the congregation " a com-
mittee of six," whose duty it shall be to
recommend a Pastor after the relation o^

MINUTES OF THE SESSION.
1877. Jan. 31. Messrs. Stevenson & Little
were appointed a committee to supply the
pulpit during the vacancy in the Pastorate-
1877, April 28. The committee appointed
to recommend a Pastor to the congregation,
having by their chairman signified to Ses--
sion their readiness to make a report, it was
ordered that a meeting of the Parish be
held on Tuesday next. May i, 1877. in the
chapel, at four o'clock P. M.. to hear such
report, and to take such action in reference
to making a call for a Pastor as may seem
to be advisable ; and that notice of such
meeting be given on Sabbath from the pul-
pit. It was further resolved, that Rev. Doct.
Irving, the former Pastor, be invited to
moderate said Parish meeting.
1877, May ist. The meeting of the Parish
was held this afternoon at four o'clock,
pursuant to notice given on Sabbath, and
after hearing the report of the Committee it
was voted unanimously that a call be made
to Rev. Rufus S. Green, of Westfield, New
York, to become the Pastor of this church.
1877, June 2d. The clerk informed Ses-
sion that the Rev. Mr. Green had accepted
the call to the Pastorate, and that he hoped
to enter on his duties on or before Jilne
24th inst.
The Clerk was directed to write to the
preedman's Committee, and request that
the collection for the Freedmen's cause, lo-
be taken up next Sabbath, be given by said
Committee to Lincoln University, if it can
be so done consistently with the duties of
the Committee, and if in their judgment
conducive to the true interest of the Freed-
men.
The Committee, heretofore appointed, in
reference to a new communion service were
authorized to exchange the present service
for a new and larger one, on the best terms
possible.
1877, June 17. Rev. R. S. Green this day
preached for the fir-st time as Pastor elect,
though not yet installed by Presbytery.
1877, July 3d. After consideration, Wed-
nesday, July i8th, was fixed on as the day
for the Installation of the Pastor. The del-
legate to special meeting of Presbytery, to
be held at Lower Valley, on July 5th inst.,
was directed to ask Presbytery to make
such appointment, and, if agreeable to Pres-
bytery, to appoint Rev. I. W. Cochran to
preach the sermon. Rev. Doct. Irving to
deliver the charge to the Pastor, and the
Rev. Mr. Stoddard to deliver the charge to
the Church.
1877, July 12. Messrs. Caskey & Dalrym-
ple were appointed a committee, to make
the necessary arrangements for the enter-
tainment of the Presbytery at the meeting
to be held on the i8th inst. for the installa-
tion of the Pastor elect.

room and study in the chaipel were rehung
at an expense of $382.25, to the complete
pf^tisfaction of all concerned.
That both upon the principles that our
Church work in all its branches should be
sustained by the Parish funds, and also
from the analogy in the method of sustain-
ing the Church music, it is recommended
that henceforth the Sabbath-school be pro-
vided for in the annual appropriation and
not from the Session's fund.
The Treas. reported :
Total receipts, $6,544.02
" disbursements, 6,422.34
Balance, $121.68
Resolved [ist,] That the collection on the
third Sunday of each month, which has
heretofore been for the Building Fund of the
new Church, be discontinued, and that it be
transferred to the general fund of the
Church; [2d,] That, in view of the continu-
ed depression in business, this meeting
deems it inexpedient further to press the
matter of erecting a new Church building
at the present time, and that the subscrip-
tions already made for that purpose be there-
fore considered as canceled ; [3d,] That the
money already received for the new build-
ing and all other moneys, which may be
hereafter voluntarily contributed, there-
fore, be deposited by the Treasurer in one
of the Saving's Banks of the town ; [4th,]
-That the Trustees be directed to take the
! necessary steps for the repairing and re-
painting the Church building, at as early a
day as practicable ; [5th.] That the ex-
penses of the Sabbath School be paid by

sion, to an amount not exceeding $300. ;
|6th,] Thai the collection to be taken on
the first Sabbath in October be appropri-
ated to some object to be designated by the
Session ; [7th,J That this meeting recog-
nizes the principles heretofore avowed in
the adoption of the voluntary system of
supporting our public worship,and feels the
necessity, in order to its more efTective and
successful working, of a personal canvass
of the Church and congregation, so as to
secure the co-operation of all ; [8th,] That
for this purpose a special committee of two
^, be appointed, by the Chairman of this meet-
-. ng , to act in connection with the Treasu..

a schedule of the pews of the Church, and to
note thereon against each pew an estimated
sum which shall be the minimum required
to furnish, when aggregated, the needful
income of the Parish ; [9th,] That, in case
where the sum pledged or promised for any
pews owned by the Church is less than the
estimate placed against the pew, it shall be
the right of the Trustees, whenever there
shall be a demand for pews, to inform the

but without alteration of any part, as now
in force, and to have the revision printed
and distributed through the congregation ;

of Julius A. Drake, and Anna Isabella and
George Augustus Drake, her children, were
received from the Second Pres. Church of
Mendham on certificate. After much pa-
tient and careful consideration of the case
of Mr. , Session felt constrained in
view of his own confession and the action
heretofore taken in his case to suspend him
from Church privileges until he gives evi-
dence of repentance; and the Pastor was di-
rected to announce such suspension to the
Church next Sabbath morning, and to state
the reason of the same.
The Pastor was also directed to notify the
Church at the same time of the suspension
of ,by the Sessicm, from Church
privileges, in January, 1876 ; the reasons for
Qot making such suspension public, in the
judgment of Session, no longer existing.

PASTORATE OF THE REV. RUFUS S. GREEN.
1877, Nov. 7. Application having been
made 'to Session, in behalf of the Afrisa-n
M. E. Church of Morristown, to aid the
Church in procuring Bibles for their use ; it
was resolved, that Session would avail itself
of the right to draw, from the Depository of
the Bible Society, Bibles to the amount of
one-half of the last year's contribution of
the Church, and that the same be appro-
priated, so far as" necessary, for the use of
the colored Church.
1877, Nov. 30. The matter of a Question
Book for the use of the Sabbath-school,
having been presented for consideration by
Mr. VanDoren, the Superintendent, it was,
after conversation. Resolved to refer it to
those members of Session connected with
the school, to act in the premises, accord-
ing to their best judgment.
1878, Feb. I, The Sabbath school of the
Church having asked for aid, it was re-
solved. That the Trustees be requested to
appropriate for the use of the school the
sum of $150 out of the moneys raised for our
home work. The Union Mission Chapel
having asked for aid in procuring Bibles for
the use of their Sabbath school, it was or-
dered That whatever may remarin of the col-
lection made the past year for the Bible So-
ciety, for which the Church has a right to
draw Bibles, be appropriated in aid of the
chapel.
1878, April 3d. A communication was re-
ceived from the Trustees in reference to the
employment of Chorister and Organist for
the ensuing year, and after being read and
considered, it was considered inexpedient to
change the salaries of these officers, and
resolved that the Trustees be so informed.
It was thereupon further resolved that the
Chorister and Organist be employed for the
eusuing year at iheir present salaries.
1878, May 30. On request of the Super-
intendent, the Trustees were requested to
give to the Treasurer of the Sabbath school
an order, on the Treasurer of the Church
for $100— to be paid out of the moneys col-
lected for our home work. The cenimittee
appointed to supply the pulpit, during the
Pastor's vacation, reported that they had
secured the services of Rev. T. F. Whiter,
D. D., for that purpose ; and the Clerk was
directed to so inform the Trustees. After con-
sultatron over the condition of the Church,
and in view of the fact that several members
►Ot: the Church have for a length of time been
suspended from church privileges, it was re-
solved, that the Pastor be requested to see
these persons, inquire into their spiritual
condition and urge them to practical repent-,
ance. >
1878. June 13. Mr. VanDoren, as late
superintendent of the Sabbath school, re-
ported to Session the result of the annual
meeting of teachers held Monday evening^
Jnne 3d, for the election of officers of the
school, at which meeting Elder J. D. Steven-
son was elected Superintendent.
Elder J. H. VanDoren was elected As-
sistant Superintendent.
Jacob J. Davis was elected Librarian.
Phil. B. Pierson was elected Secretary and
Treasurer.
This action of the teachers was ap-
proved. The Pastor was requested to take
charge of the opening exercises.of the Sab-
bath School on the next Sabbath, and, in
the name of the Session, state to the school
the result of the election, and that the
names had been approved by Session.
1878, Oct. 4. Elder J. D. Stevenson was,
at his own request, dismissed, to the Pres-
byterian Church at San Antonio. Texas,
and the Pastor was authorized and request-
ed, in granting this letter, to accompany it
with an expression of the sincere regret
which Session feels in parting with Brother
Stevenson, and their earnest prayer for his
usefulness and success wherever God in his
Providence may. cast his future lot.
1878, Oct. 9. There was no special busi-
ness, but a general conference was had on
the subject of Church work, and on the
plan proposed by the Pastor for securing it
in a greater degree than in the past.' '■'^'^'''•
1878. Nov. 7th. Elder J. D. Stevenkon;
having removed from the State, sent to Ses-
sion his resignation as Superintendent of
the Sabbath School, which was accepted.
The Pastor read the following letter,
which; by request of Session, he had writ-
ten tO' Rev. J. W. Neil!, Pastor of the Pres-
byterian Church of San Antonio, Texas, to
which Elder Stevenson had taken a letter
of dismission ; and the same was approved,
and ordered to be recorded in the minutes
of Session :

iiJ
MINUTES OP THE SESSlON.
i6i
" Rev. J. W. Neill ;
Dear Brother,
" The Siession of this Church cannot grant
the enclosed letter, without some additional
testimony of their high esteem for Mr.
Stevenson. He has long been a member of
this Session, and his conscientious and
zealous discharge of the duties of his office
has endeared him not only to us, but to this
whole Church. His influence has been felt,
and only for good, in every department of
Christian work. We part with him with
the sincerest regret, and with earnest prayer
that God will as abundantly bless, for His
own glory, his life in your Church and city
as he has blessed it in the midst of us.
By order of Session,
R. S. Green, Moderator."
1879. June 8. The election by the teachers
of the Sabbath-school, of Mr. George E.
Voorhees as Superintendent, and of the
other officers of the school, was reported to
Session, and approved by it.
1879, July 3. The Pastor stated, that he
was engaged in an examination of the old
records of the Church, particularly the re-
cords of membership, deaths, births, &c.
and, the necessity of preserving a suitable
record being manifest, he was authorized to
procure such new books for the purpose as
he might think necessary.
1879, Aug. I. The Pastor stated to Ses-
sion, that he had a very satisfactory conver-
sation with , who wished
to unite with the Church on profession of
her faith in the Saviour ; and recommended
that she be received without further exami-
nation. The applicant having been baptised
in the Catholic Church, of which Church
her father was a member ; it was decided
that re-baptism is not necessary ; and, hav-
ing been brought up by a family connected
with our own Church, it was deemed proper
to admit her, without further examination
by Session, and she was so received to the
sealing ordinances of the Lord's Supper.
1879, Nov. 13. Elder William G. Ander-
son sent to Session a communication ex-
plaining his continued absence from the
regular services of the Church, and his rea-
sons for attending the services of another
denomination, and asking to resign his
Eldership ; which was read and carefully
considered. Session, having entire con-
fidence in brother Anderson, and marking
the kind, Christian spirit of his letter, and
having some understanding of the peculiar
circumstances to which his letter referred,
deemed it just to him and to the Church to
accept his resignation, so far forth as they
can do so according to the rules of the
Church.
1879, Dec. 18. The Pastor presented a
plan for the publication of an eight page
monthly, during the year 1880, devoted to
the historical interests of the Church. The
plan was approved. [This was the inaugu-
ration of The Record.]
It was deemed advisable that the Pastor
devote one Sabbath evening of each month
to Missionary topics.
1880. Jan. 7. Session consulted on the
need of increasing the Eldership.
1880, Jan, 8. Discussion was renewed on
the advisability of increasing the number of

an addition of seven to our Session.

had conversed with several of the persons
who had been named as Elders, some of
whom would consent to accept of the office,
and others wished more time to consider
the matter. Whereupon it was resolved,
That in view of the difficulty of securing the
number of Elders mentioned at a previous
meeting of Session, no further action will
be taken in the matter for the present.
1880, Jan. 30. A communication was re
ceived and read from Mr. John R. Runyon,
resigning his position as chorister, to take
effect on the first day of April next.
1880, Feb. 25. The Pastor stated that he
had begun the publication of an eight page
monthly, devoted to the historical interests
of the Church, and called The Record ;
and that the first number was published in
January. He also reported, that, as re-
quested by Session, he had revived the
Monthly Concert ; the first Missionary talk
having been given on Sunday evening, the
8th inst., on the subject of " Southern New
Jersey as a Missionary Field."
1880, Mar. 4. The pastor reported, That
the Canvassers appointed by Session had
procured 10 subscribers to the Foreign
Missionary, and 13 additional [making in all
35] subscribers for the Rocky Mountain
Presbyterian. Resolved, That the Pastor

'■ Songi of Praise" for the use of the Sab-
bath School and weekly prayer meeting, to
be paid for out of the Session's Contingent
Fund, Resolved, That Session nominate to
the Church, for election as Elders, Messrs.
Wayland Spaulding, James R. Voorhees
and William D. Johnson, who have con-
sented to such nomination ; and also Dr.
Stephen Pierson and Aaron D. Whitehead,
if their consent can be obtained ; and that
this action of Session be announced to the
Church on next Sabbath by the Pastor ; al-
so that the election of Elders be held two
weeks from next Sabbath.
1880, Mar. 21, After the usual Sabbath ser-
vice a meeting of the Church was convened,
and ftie Pastor led in prayer for Divine guid-
ance. The names of the four brethren whom
Session had previously notified the Church
it would nominate for Elders, were mention-
ed, and a full opportunity afforded for other
nominations, in accordance with the notice
of the previous Sabbath. Messrs. Aurelius
B. Hull and Anthony I. Olmsted were nomi-
nated, but declined to be elected. There-
upon the meeting proceeded to vote on the
nomination of Aaron D. Whitehead, Way-
land Spaulding, James R. Voorhees and
William D. Johnson, respectively, and each
was unanimously elected. The name of Dr.
Stephen Pierson was not mentioned because
he declined to give his consent thereto.
1880, Mar. 23. Mr. Wm. H. Runyon was
re-elected Chorister for the ensuing year, at
a salary of $400., and the Clerk was directed
to notify the Trustees of his election. Re-
solved, That the Elders recently elected be
ordained and installed next Sabbath morn-
ing, immediately after the sermon.
1880, April 2. The resignation of Mr,
James R. Voorhees, as Organist, was accept-

as Organist, for six months, for $100., her
term of service to commence on Sunday,
April 4th.

of each month for the monthly Concert for
Missions. The Com. on Music reported,
That they had agreed with Mrs. Cory, the
Organist, for her services until April i,

additional allowance of $1. per Sabbath, to-
twards payment of her expenses, after she

General Local Option Law now before that
body.

sion. That he had been to Buffalo, to ex-
amine the field to which a call had been ex-
tended to him, as he had previously in-
formed Session ; and found it an inviting
one. After a full conversation in respect to
that field and his present one, he said that
he would, on the next Sabbath, call a meet-
ing of the Church and Parish, to be held at
4 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, to appoint
Commissioners to unite with him in asking
Presbytery to dissolve the pastoral relation
now existing between himself and this

quest for a dissolution of the Pastoral rela-
tion existing between himself and this
Church, to take effect after next Sunday ;
and that Dr. Irving had been appointed to
declare the pulpit vacant on the succeeding
Sunday. The Pastor further stated, That
the Presbytery had granted to Session the
privilege of supplying the pulpit until the
next meeting of Presbytery. After a general
and free conversation about the affairs and
qondition of the Church, it was Resolved,
To invite the Trustees aud Deacons to meet
with the Session, on some evening of next
week, to confer upon the affairs and interests
of the Church and Congregation, and espec-
ially to consider what measures it will be
well for the congregation to pursue looking
to the settlement of a Pastor.
TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
Mar. 19, 1878, Annual Parish Meeting
Mr. James C. Youngblood, Chairman. The
Trustees reported ; That the sum of $595.50
was raised by special application to the
members of the congregation, (the work
being in excess of the estimate of the Parish
Meeting and not included m it), and with this
amount the church was thoroughly painted,
and such minor repairs were made as ap-
peared to be needed. That the matter of a
parsonage coming up, and Mr. Green having
lequested that the Trustees would, instead
of renting him an unfurnished house, pay
him such sum as they thought right towards
the rent of the furnished house of Mrs.
Donaghe, he to make up the balance, your
Board offered for this year to pay the whole
rent of the said house furnished, amounting
to $1,000, and the offer was accepted and
the liability assumed. That for the purpose
of having the pecuniary affairs of the Parish
conducted, even down to details, in a busi-
ness-like manner, your Board added to the
number of Standing committees an audit-
ing committee, and has required all bills to
be favorably reported upon by such com'
mittee and signed by the President and
counter-signed by the Clerk before being
paid. That, upon recommendation of tb»
Session, your Board ordered paid to tb#
Treasurer of the Sabbath School, Mr. Phil.
B. Pierson, the whole sum of $300, appro-
priated for that purpose by the Parish, but
the state of the finances of the Parish at the
end of the year has permitted only the half
of it to be paid. That during the year the
subject of insurance upon the church prop-
erty has received careful attention in detail,
changes being made when wisdom dictated,
in amount and in under-writers, until at this
time, in spite of the financial troubles of
mt^ny companies, your Board feels able to
report that all the church property is care-
fully insured. In this work especially the
Board has had the valuable assistance of the
Treasurer. Mr. A. B. Hull. That the need
of some immediate action on the part of the
Parish is felt by your Board to protect the
chapel from injury by a system of gutters
and drains, which will carry the water away
from the walls and foundations, now being
injured by it. That nothing having been
accomplished by the committee appointed
by the Parish at its last annual meeting to
raise funds to build a parsorKige, your Board
felt called upon, as the Parish year drew to
an end, to take steps to put the Pastor in
possession ofa house, for a term of years,
and accordingly sought out a list of eligible
houses, which could be had for what seemed
a fair rent, and offered the choice of them
to the Pastor, with the option of his re-
ceiving the rent in money, fixing it at $700
per annum. The Pastor preferred the money
payment and the Board has pledged the
same to him for three years from the first of
May next, in addition to the salary, in lieu
of a Parsonage. That nothing has been
done under the plan adopted at the last Par-
ish meeting for securing at least a minimum
revenue from each pew ; difficulties meeting
the Trustees in the fact that the pews are so
often not owned by the church, but by the
occupants, making the plan impracticable.
Your Board would recommend, therefore,
the desirability of providing for the sale by
the Trustees, of any pew, the owner of which
does not contribute to our home work, an
amount equal to the sum fixed by the Par-
ish's special committee of assessment of
pews, as the minimum revenue, which
should be produced by such pew,

Resolved, [ist,| To request the Trustees,
during the coming year to enlarge this
Chapel for the better accommodation of our
Sabbath School ; also to build at the same
time a Parsonage for our Pastor on the lot
adjoining the Church ; [2d,] That they
raise for these two enterprises the sum of
$10,000, or any other amount needed ; the
work to commence when one-half the re-
quired amount is subscribed, and that the
whole sum be raised before its completion.
March 15, 1881. Parish Meeting; 35 per-
sons present, Mr. John R. Runyon was
nominated Chairman. The Trustees re-
ported : That the Church buildings have
been kept insured and all expenses for the
year paid. That the interior of the Church
needs to be re-painted ; also needs new
carpets and new covers to the cushions,
&c. ; but as it was found that something
like $1,400. would be needed for this, it was
thought advisable, inasmuch as an effort
was being made to enlarge the Chapel, in-
volving a considerable outlay of money, not
to undertake the work. That, as to the en-
largement of the Chapel, not until late in
the season was there such an amount of
money collected for this purpose as would
seem to justify the Trustees in taking the
necessary steps for the accomplishment of
the work. That then we employed Mr.
Cady, of New York, as architect to furnish
the necessary plans and specifications, at
the same time informing him of the desire
of the Parish that the enlargement should
not cost over $3,000 ; and as soon as the
said plans and specifications had been re-
ceived, they were placed in the hands of
competent builders of Morristown for esti-
mates. A number of these estimates have
been handed in, and we regret to be obliged
to report that we find our architect has gone
far beyond the limit which had been given
him, and that if his plans as furnished are
carried out the expense will be nearly twice
as large as contemplated.

acceding to the request of Rev. Rufus S.
Green for the dissolution of his pastoral re-
lations with this Church, we desire to re-
cord our sincere appreciation of his devout
Christian character, and our deep sense and
cordial acknowledgement of the faithfulness
of his labors among us, in both the public
and private ministrations of his office; [2d.]
That it is our earnest prayer that in the new
field of labor to which he is called, he may
meet with rich success in winning souls to
Christ, and that in his heart, in his home
and in all the work of the Gospel ministry
he may receive abundant blessing.

MINUTES OF THE SESSION.
1882, Jan. 19. In view of the repairs of the

first Sunday of February.
1882, Feb. 15. It was Resolved, That the
Church be requested to make our present
condition a matter of special prayer, and
more particularly for God's guidance of the
committee to whom has been committed
the responsibility of selecting and recom-
mending a Pastor ; and also that the services
of the Thursday evening meeting be di-
rected to the same end.
1882, April 20. Resolved, That John H.
Warner be employed as Organist, in accord-
ance with the recommendation of the Com-

TRUSTEES AND PARISH.
Mar. 14, i8&2. Meeting of the congrega-
tion. In accordance with the two following
notices, which were read from the pulpit on
Sunday, the 12th, about one hundred and
fifty assembled in the chapel.
[ist.] "In pursuance of the recommenda-
tion of the conference held last Monday
evening, there will be a meeting of the con-
gregation in the chapel on next Tuesday af-
ternoon at half-past three o'clock, to con-
sider the subject of making out a call for a
Pastor, and if it shall then be thought to be
advisable, to make out such a call.
"The conference on Monday evening was
gratifyingly large, and it is believed was pro-
ductive of good, and as the selection of a
Pastor is so vitally connected with the
future welfare of the church it is hoped
that the meeting on Tuesday will have suf-
ficient interest to secure a very large attend-
ance.
By order of the committee."
[2d.] "The annual Parish meeting of this
church will be held in the ch«pel on Tues-
day afternoon, March 14th, at half-past three.
James R, Voorhees,
Parish Clerk."
The Rev. T. F. White, D. D., was Modera-
tor.
Resolved, [ist.] That a call be made to
Rev. William Durant, of the 6th Presbyte-
rian Church of Albany, N. Y., to become our
i66
PASTORATE VACANT.
P)l»t4U-. [ad.] Th»t before TOting on the
question, en informal vote by ballot be
taken, but not to appear on record. [3d.]
That the final vote on the original question
be taken by standing. The original ques-
tion wa« declared carried, by a vote of 87 in
the affirmative and 15 in the negative.
iMr. Theodore Little, from the Session. Mr.
A. B. Hull from the Board of Trustees, and
Mr. John Whitehead trom the congregation
at large, were appointed a committae to sign
and prosecute the call. The salary was fixed
at $3,000 per annum, with such sum in lieu
of Parsonage as the Board of Trustees may
name.
The regular business of the Parish meat-
ing was taken up, and Rev. Mr. White being
obliged to leave, Mr. Stephen Pierson, M. D.,
was requested to occupy the chair.
The Board of Trustees make the follow-
ing statement :
For all information respecting the finances
of the Church you are referred to the
Treasurer's report.
The Trustees reported : That, in the mat-
ter of the enlargement of our Chapel, on the
i5lh of October last, a contract was entered
into with Messrs. Greenwood & Hays, to
build an addition to the Chapel, consisting
of an extension of the rear of the present
building and a wing on the north side, ac-
cording to plans and specifications agreed
upon, for the sum of $3,975,, the work to be
completed by June ist, 1882. Of this $3,975.
tke sum of $2.868. 73 has been subscribed and
paid in. For the balance we have good
subscriptions to the amount of $574., and a
written guarantee signed by responsible
parties for $625. Total amount actually paid
in, subscribed and guaranteed, $4,067.73.
This $625, guaranteed as above stated,
should of course be met by the Congrega-
tion at-large. We understand that about
$300 of this amount has been secured by
means of a fair recently held by the young
people of the Church and Congregation,
leaving the sum of $325 yet to be raised,
besides this some money will be needed for
additional furniture for the Chapel, new
malting, &c. That about $2,000 has been
raised during the year by subscription and
Fius been expended in the renovation of the
interior of the Church.
The Treasurer reported :
Total Receipts, $5)*3«-37
Total Disbursements. 5,286.76
Balance, * $345-6i
Payments have been made with more
regularity and promptness than in former
years,and the unpaid balances of pledges fcr
the year are much smaller, amounting at
present date to $133.67, of which about one-
half is good and collectable.
The cash balance in bank includes in the
$345.61, the sum of $192.50 paid in advance
for the new year which commences to-day,
which reduces the balance proper to the
year to $153.11.
The realized income of the Parish from
all sources has fallen short of that of the pre-
vious year $573.99, and but for the cessa-
tion of expense of a settled Pastor since Oc-
tober 19th, 1881, would have been insuffi-
cient for the year's expenses, by the sum of
at least $250. A majority of the occupants
of p«ws still continue to pay less than the
assessment of thirty-five per cent, upon the
valuation of their pews, which assessment
is required to produce the needful income
to sustain our home work. With the excep-
tion of cost of cleaning and repairing the
organ not yet finished, there are no debts of
any importance owing by the Parish, known
to the Treasurer. A. B. Hull.
The Treasurer of the Sunday School, re-
ported :
Total Receipts, $217.93
Total Disbursements, 204.02
Balance, $1391
The following were elected Trustees : A.
B. Hull, J. H. VanDoren. H. C. Pitney, Ed
ward Pierson, T. C. Bushnell, W. E. Church,
Stephen Pierson, M. D. Mr. A. B. Hull was
re-elected Treasurer, and Mr. James R. Voor-
hees. Parish Clerk.
Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed to request the Common Council
to flag the walk from the crossing at Mrs.
Greenmyer's corner to the crossing at the
ohurch. and to continue the present walk,
now in front of the church to the flagging
near the Police Headquarters in Speedwell
Avenue, and to lay an additional and more
direct crossing frit right angles) from near
the easterly corner of the Park to the
present walk now in front of the church.
Messrs. T. Little, A. B. Hull, H. M. Dalrym.
pie were appointed said committee.
MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS.
:o:
ORGANIZATION OF THE CHURCH.
Extract from the Mintttes of the Synod of
Philadelphia.
Sept. 2oth, 1733. The affairs of Hanover
coming under consideration, and many pa-
pers being read to give light to the Synod
in that affair, it was agreed that the com-
mittee bring in an overture on said business
at our next sederunt.
Sept. 3ist, 1733. The committee having
spent much time in reasoning on the affair
of Hanover committed to them, at length
agreed upon an overture on it in the fol-
lowing articles, viz : First, That the Synod
look upon the practice of submitting of con-
gregational affairs to the decision of a lot,
though accompanied with sacred solemnity.
to be unwarrantable, inasmuch as lots are
only warrantably used to decide matters
that can't be otherwise determined in a ra-
tional way ; particularly by applying to
higher judicatories.
Secondly. The Synod do think that in their
present circumstances of poverty and weak-
ness, it might be very advisable for the peo-
ple of West Hanover, at least for some time,
to join themselves with the congregations of
East Hanover and Basking Ridge, as may be
most convenient, until they, as well as the
said neighbouring congregations, be more
able to subsist of themselves separately. Yet
in the meantime, as the case now stands
with thai people, if re-union between East
and West Hanover be found impracticable,
according to our above advice, the Synod
judge that the people of West Hanover be
left to their liberty to erect themselves intoa
separate congregation. Withal we earnestly
obtest and beseech, that nothing be done in |
that affair that may have a tendency to hurt 1
the interest of religion in those places so '
far as in them lies. 1
The above overture being read was ap-
proven by a great majority of votes.
Sept. 24th, 1733. Mr. Nutman represent-
ing to the Synod, the great difficulties he is
tailed under, as to his continuing pastor of
the congregation of East Hanover, by rea-
son of the division and discord between
them and the people of West Hanover;
they, viz : of West Hanover being allowed
by this Synod, to erect themselves into a
separate congregation (in case, as per min-
utes ol the Synod) the Synod considering
the same, do earnestly recommend it to the
Presbytery of East New-Jersey to travail
with the people of West Hanover and East
Hanover, in order to prevail with them to
agree upon conditions of re-union, at least
for a while, until they be better able to sub-
sist apart. But if the Presbytery's endea-
vors to this purpose should not have ef-
fect, it is this Synod's judgment, that a
dismission may be granted to Mr. Nutman
from the people of East Hanover, by th«
said Presbytery, upon his application for
the same.
Sept. 19th. 1734, 10 A. M. Ordered that
the last year's minutes with relation to Mr.
Nutman and the people of Hanover, be
further considered. 4 P. M. The affair of Mr.
Nutman and Hanover continued.
Sept. 20th, 1734, 10 A. M. The affair of
Mr. Nutman further considered. 3 P. M.
The affair of Mr. Nutman continued.
Sept. 2ist, 1734, 9 A. M. The affair of Mr.
Nutman — yet continued. 4 P. M. Mr. Nut-
man's affairs still continued.
Sept. 23rd, 1734. 10 A. M. Resolved, That
the affair of Mr. Nutman, from time to time
continued, be first considered the next se-
derunt. 3 P. M. The affair of Mr. Nutman
and the people of Hanover resumed, and
after reading our last year's minutes, and
Mr. Dickinson proposing a difficulty con-
cerning the obligation of the determination
by the lot mentioned in said minutes,
whether the obligation of the said determi-
nation yet remains binding upon said peo-
ple, the Synod after much discourse and
reasoning about that matter, at length
came to a judgment in the following propo-
sitions :
1. That the Synod look upon the obliga-
tion of a determination of a difference by a
lot, to be sacred and binding upon the con-
science, if the matter so determined be law-
ful and practicable, and consequently to act
contrary thereunto must be a very great
sin.
2. That as the foundation upon which a
lot is cast may cease, and the practicable-
ness of acting according to the determina-
tion thereof may, in time, cease also, (though
for a time it may continue practicable,) in
BMCh a case we judge that the obligation
thereof doth cease also, because it can never
be designed that such an obligation should
remain after the design thereof becomes
either impossible or hath been fully obtained.
3. Our determination last year relating
to the people of Hanover did wholly go
upon this supposition, that the affairs of
that people and their circumstances were
so far altered, upon representations then
made to us, that we supposed the founda-
tion of said lot, and of the people's acting
upon it were ceased, which, whether it be
certainly so or not, we do not peremptorily
determine, but '.eave parties to judge thereof
as in conscience they can.
4. That however, as in our minutes last
Synod, we disapprove of the use of lots,
without necessity, yet we are afraid, upon
representation, that there hath been muck
sin committed by many, if not all that peo^
pie, in their profane disregard of said lot in
168
MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS.
time past, and therefore excite them to re-
flect upon their past practices in reference
thereunto, in order to their repentance.
September 24th, 1735. The West part of
Hanover having applied to the Synod for
the ordination of Mr. Cleverly, the Synod
do order it to be left to the Presbytery of
Philadelphia.
May 29, 1738. Upon the affairs of West
Hanover, overtured as follows : Upon Mr.
Budd's representation of the aflfairs of Han-
over: Overtured. That, however in a former
minute relating to West Hanover, we have
granted, that solemn obligations by lot or
otherwise may cease, when by any turn of
Providence what is engaged unto becomes
impossible or impracticable, or the end there-
of is otherwise fully and completely an-
swered; yet it appearing doubtful to us
whether this be the case of said people in
respect of the obligation laid upon them to
unite or join with the people of East Han-
over, by a lot or solemn engagement to sub-
mit to the judgment of the committee of the
Presbytery of East Jersey, who were called
to judge in that affair ; the Synod does judge
that the safest way to come to a final deter-
mination of that affair is, that a committee
be appointed to meet in that place in order
to make as exact inquiry as they can into
the circumstances of that people, whether
there really be such a change in their case
as to cause the above obligation to cease,
and either give their judgmentot this matter.
or else represent it as it shall appear to them
to the Synod at our next meeting, which
they shall judge most meet, and that Messrs.
Gilbert Tennent, William Tennent, Junior,
Samuel Blair, David Cowell, Eleazar Wales,
Jedediah Andrews, Aaron Burr, John Cross
and Richard Treat, be a committee to meet
at Hanover the last Wednesday of July next,
upon the affair, at eleven of the clock ante
meridiem. Approved nemine contradiccntc.
May 24th, 1739. The committee appointed
to go to Hanover and help the people there
in their difficulties, made report to the
Synod of their compliance, and brought in
the minutes of their proceedings, which
being read were approved and ordered to be
inserted in their minutes, and are as follows,
viz. : At a committee of the Synod met at
Hanover, July 26th, 1738, according to ap-
K ointment of Synod ubi postprcccs sederunt
[essrs. Jedediah Andrews, Gilbert Tennent,
William Tennent. Jun'r., John Cross, David
Cowell and Richard Treat. Ministers of the
Committee absent : Messrs. Samuel Blair,
Eleazer Wales and Aaron Burr. Mr. An-
drews chosen Moderator; Mr. Treat, Clerk;
Mr. Gilbert Tennent opened the committee
by a sermon. Ezek. xi. 19. The committee
in order to lay a clear foundation to go
upon, thought proper to read and con-
sider the minutes of the Synod in relation
to the affairs, and after that was done the
Moderator proceeded to inquire into the
matter they were come about, and asked the
people of West Hanover; whether their
circumstances were altered for the better
since the casting of the lot, and it was an-
swered by some of them in the hearing and
behalf of the whole that ihey were much in-
creased as to numbers of persons in iheir so-
ciety, and that they were near one-half abler
than they were. Which representation was
not contradicted nor disproved by any, and
plainly appeared to the committee to be the
truth of their case, A paper was also brought
in by Mr. Kitchell and some others, in be-
half of the eastern part, as their committee,
setting forth their weakness and expressing
their desire of an union with their western
brethren, if it could be had upon reasonable
terms. Upon which, that the committee
might come to understand the real truth
with respect to said eastern people, the
Moderator proceeded to interrogate Mr.
Kitchell, and others of said eastern part,
about their affairs and they informed the
committee that they were much stronger
than when the lot was cast, that though it
was hard with them for the present to ful-
fil their obligations to Mr. Nutman, yet they
cannot but acknowledge they are in grow-
ing circumstances, and able to support of
themselves ; adding withal, that it is their
mind and the mind of this society, not to
have an union with the whole of the west-
tern society but with a part only, and that
if the committee should judge them to unite
upon any of the former terms, covenants
and agreement, it would be the destruction
of the whole, and be prejudicial to the in-
terest of religion among them. Whereupon
the committee came unanimously to form
their judgment after the following manner,
viz : That according as things are repre-
sented to them and as they appear, they
cannot but judge.
1. That the former obligations of said
people, by virtue of the lot formerly cast
among them, are now impracticable.
2. That the end of the said lot will be
much better answered by their being two
separate societies, than by being united into
one as formerly was desired and proposed.
3. That therefore we judge said western
people may be a separate society by them-
selves. Furthermore, to prevent any dis-
putes or difficulties between said western
society and Basking-Ridge, it was proposed
and agreed to, mutually by said people, that
whosoever were desirous of going from
the congregation where they belonged to
the other, shall have liberty so to do, pro-
vided they pay off all their respective debts
to the society to which they have be-
longed.
The above determinations of the com-
mittee were published to the aforesaid
people, and all parties expressed their en-
tire satifaction therein. Concluded with
prayer.

THE COMBINED REGISTERS,
FROM 1742 TO 1885.
SOURCES.
The sources from which the following names and records have been compiled are
these :
The Reg[i8ter§ of Baptisms. During the pastorate of Mr. William McDowell,
from Dec, 1814, to Oct., 1823, very few baptisms are recorded, whether of adults or in-
fants ; and during vacancies in the pastorate, the records are also meagre. With these
exceptions the original Registers are very complete.
Tlie Registers of Marriages. Marriages by Mr. Fisher and Mr. McDowell, be-
tween 1809 and T823, have been derived from the office of the County Clerk ; other Pas-
tors left records more or less full on the Church Registers. In addition to these, use
has been made of the valuable material collected from old newspapers and diaries by the
Rev. Rufus S. Green, D. D., while pastor of the Church.
The Registers of Deaths. The earliest record of buriafls in the graveyard of the
Church is contained in the " Bill of Mortality." begun in July, 1768 by Dr. Johnes and
continued to 1812, by William Cherry; an edition of this was Dublished in 1806, and a
supplement later. No Pastor after Dr. Johnes has left a Register of Funerals, except
Mr. Green ; but the several Sextons have kept books recording the burials in the
graveyard, and all of these books are preserved, except one of Moses Cherry's. In
addition to these, Mr. Green, with the assistance of Mr. Frank L. Whitehead, made a
careful transcription of the records on the head-stones in the graveyard, which enabled
him to correct many errors in the Bill of Mortality, and 10 record a number of burials
that occurred previous to 1768. He also made a large and valuable collection of records
of deaths from old newspapers and diaries. The present compilation does not contain
all the material thus at hand ; but aims to record the death, when on record, only (ist.,)
of those who were buried in the graveyard of the Church, and (2d,) of those whose
names are found upon other Registers of the Church,
The Register of those who Renewed their Covenant. This covers only the
pastorate of Dr. Johnes. It contains a list of those who were popularly called "Half-
way members" ; that is, persons who renewed their own baptismal vows when present-
ing their first child for baptism, but did not, at that time at least, enter upon the duties
and privileges of full communion, The practice was abandoned in this Church in 1795.
The Registers of Communicants. Previous to 1795, the Minutes of the Session
contain no mention of tjie reception of Communicants, They are recorded, however
on two lists; the first containing the names of the members in communion on the set-
tlement of Dr. Johnes in 1742, together with the names of" those that came since from
other churches," On this list there are some notes of removal, but no dates to show
4 FIRST CHURCH, MORRISTOWN, N. J.
when the persons were received. A comparison with other Registers, however, gives an
approximate conjecture, not only as to the communicants in 1742, but also as to the dates
of the reception of others. For instance, the 52d name on the list is that of " Martha, wife
of Cornelius Austin ;" and as Cornelius Austin made " Publick Confession at the set-
tlement of the Ch." for abandoning Hanover in disregard of " the lot," it is almost certain
that his wife was a communicant in 1742. On the other hand, the name of" Elizabeth, wife
of David More," is the 56th on the list. But in the Marriage Register, it is recorded that
" David More and Elizabeth Roflf" were married by Dr. Johnes on the 13th of April,
1743 ; hence it seems conclusive that she would appear under her maiden name on the
list of members, if she had been a communicant on Dr. Johnes' arrival in 1742. On this
basis the first 55 names on this list are marked in the Combined Registers as members
in 1742 ; and the dates appended to the names of those received from other Churches,
previous to 1795, have been obtained by similar comparisons.
The second list, referred to above, contains the names of persons received on con-
fession of their faith, recorded in chronological order, with the dates of their reception,
and a few notes of removal without dates.
After 1795 the Minutes of the Session contain the names of almost all communicants
received, both on confession and by letter from other Churches, together with the re-
cord of the dismission of the majority of those who have removed to other Churches.
In addition to the Minutes of the Session, the several Rolls of Communicants have
been carefully searched, and have yielded a few names which do not appear in the
Minutes, together with a large number of records of dismission and death not found
elsewhere. These Rolls are designated in the Combined Registers by numbers, in the
order of their dates, and are the following :
RolI§ of Coinniunicaiitx.
I. — The two lists of Dr. Johnes, begun in 1742, and described above.
2. — Roll kept by Mr. Richards of those received during his pastorate, from Feb., 1795 to
April, 1809.
3. — Roll of those living and known when Mr. Fisher came in 1809. to which are added,
in chronological order, those subsequently received, till 1825.
4.- Roll, on principle of No. 3 ; begun by Mr. Barnes, in 1825, and used till 1846 ; to-
gether with his Manual, printed in 1828, which gives a list of those
living and known at that date.
5. — Roll, on principle of No. 3; begun by Mr. Thompson, in 1846, and used till 1869. ,
6.— Roll, on principle of No. 3, but arranged alphabetically ; begun by Mr. French, in |
1869. and used till 1877. !
7.- Chronological Roll, from 1742 to 1882, prepared by Mr. Green, and containing many 1
notes of his research. |
8. — Roll in present use; alphabetical ; containing, in addition to the names of all Com- |
municants living and known in 1882 and those since received, the 1
record of all subsequent Baptisms, Marriages, Deaths and Dismis- i
sions. I
Corre§pondence. No little aid has been furnished by subscribers to The Re- |
CORD and by others, who have answered inquiries and supplied many lost facts and j
dates. '
As now printed, the compilation of all the names and dates from the various sources,
for the period from 1742 down to 1825, has been made by one hand ; and these, with all i
rec®rds of later date, are verified by the same, before the pages of the Combined Regis- j
ters issue from the press. In spite, however, of all the care bestowed to attain accuracy, j
it is beyond hope that errors will not be found among the many thousands of these ]
names and dates. I
The Compiler would here record his grateful acknowledgement for assistance in
copying, in reading, and in verifying, to Mr. Will. C. VanDoren, Mr. James R. Voor- ;
hees, Mr. Frank L. Whitehead, and the Misses Abby Pierson, Lizzie and Emma Van ;
Pelt, Minnie Mills, and Lucy Johnson.

PIERSON FAMILIES.
[Almost all of the name recorded here are descendants of Abraham Pierson,
Henry Pierson, or Thomas Pierson, who were closely associated and may have been
brothers. In order to show the lines of descent, some families are inserted here from,
the " Pierson Genealogical Record, collected and compiled by Lizzie B. Pierson, 1878."
For convenience of reference, the numbers used in that work are prefixed to the same
names here. By means of the relationship, expressed in brackets, thus [s. 61. Elijah],,
the ancestry of any descendant named here may be traced back to the earliest knowa
progenitor of the line.]

APPENDIX
The printing of the Combined Registers was suspended in 1886, after 48 pages
l-iad been issued. In 1889 the printing was resumed, and it has gone on as rapidly as
possible until the present date, November 1891. During these five years the labor of
correcting and completing the work has not ceased ; and, in consequence, considerable
material has accumulated. So far as it could be done, the corrections and new ma-
terial have been incorporated in the preceding pages. What came to hand too late
for printing in its proper place under the main alphabetical arrangement, will be found
in this Appendix :
