BRIEF HISTORY 



lORTH PEESBTTERIAN CHURCH, 

BUFFALO, N. Y. 



An organization of so recent date can of course require but a few 
words to record its history. Yet as in other and distant years all these 
simple facts may become important in the progress of the Church, it is 
deemed desirable to put them in print for the satisfaction of our children, 
and the assistance of future chroniclers. 

On tlie 25th March, A. D. 1847, forty three members of the First 
Presbyterian Church, Buffalo, recieved letters of dismission for the pur- 
pose of constituting a new Church, and at the same time were organized 
by a Committee of the Presbytery of Buffalo, and received the name 
of the North Presbyterian Church, in Buffalo. 

This movement originated in a view of the importance of Church 
Extension in our growing city, and the need of a new Church in the 
neighborhood where this is located. The Rev. Dr. Asa T. Hopkins, 
dec°eased, then Pastor of the First Church, was deeply interested in 
the measure, and though losing by it some of his warmest friends and 
best supporters, yet urged forward the enterprise with all his accustomed 
zeal, and rendered most efficient service in establishing the new church. 

After its organization and until the basement of its own house of 
worship was reldv for use, the North Church continued to meet with 
the First Church in their Sabbath worship, but held its own praycr- 
meetino-s at the houses of its members. The first separate meeting was 





the Monthly Concert of Prayer for Missions, held in April, 1847, a few- 
days only after the organization of the eburch. 

The corner stone of the church edifice was laid about 1st August, 
1846. and the house was solemnly dedicated to the worship of Almighty 

God, the 29th of December, A. D., 1847. 

Beneath tlie corner-stone was deposited a tin bo3 containing the fol- 
lowing articles, viz : 

Bible, Confession of Faith, New York Observer, New York Evan- 
gelist, Missionary Herald, Home Missionary, Buffalo Daily Papers, City 
Directory, Map of thp, City, and the names of the 
Architect, C. N. Otis, 
Master Builder, J. H. Selkirk, 
Master Mason, J. D. Berry. 

In the services of the dedication, the Rev. Mr. Sternberg, of the 
Lutheran Church, made the invocation ; the Rev. Dr. Tucker, , of the 
Baptist Church, offered the introductory prayer; the Rev. Dr. J. C. Lord, 
offered the dedicatory prayer; and the pastor elect, the Rev. Charles 
Rich, preached the sermon, from Gen. 1 : 3 and 2 Cor. 4:6. " And 
God said, Let there be light, and there was light," and **the light of the 
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." 

The Rev. Charles Rich, commenced his labors in the basement of 
the church, October 3d, 1847, and was installed by the Presbytery of 
Buffalo, 27 January, A. D. 1848, and the Pastoral relation was dissolved 
by the same judicatory on the 1st of March, A. D. 1849. 

In the services of the installation of Mr. Rich, the Rev. G. W. Hea- 
cocK, of Buffalo, preached'the sermon from Romans 5: 15, 16. "But 
not as the offence so also is the free gift," &c. The charge to the Pastor 
was given by the Rev. L. A. Skinner, of Lancaster; and the charge to 
the people, by the Rev. Hiram Eddy, of Springville. 

The Rev. Joshua Cook, (now of St. Catherines, C. "W.,) then a 
licentiate of the Presbytery of Bufialo, supplied the desk during the 
subsequent summer and fall, and on the 5th Nov., A. D. 1849, a call 
was made upon the Rev. Albert T. Chester, D. D., then Pastor of the 
Presbyterian Church of Saratoga Springs, N. Y. The call was accepted, 
and Doct. Chester commenced his regular labors as Pastor, on the 23d 
Dec, A. D. 1849, and was installed by the Presbytery of Buflfalo, on 
the 31st Jan., A. D. 1850. In the services of the installation the Rev. 







Dr. M. L. R. P. Thompson preached the sermon from 1 Tim. 3 : 1. 
"This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a Bishop, he de- 
sireth a good work;" the charge to the'^Pastor was giren by the Rev. 
G. W. Heacock, and the charge to the people by the Rev. T. Stillman. 

The progress of the church has been steady and somewhat rapid. 
There have been occasional conversions during all its history, and in the 
winter and spring of 1853 there was a blessed outpouring of the Holy 
Spirit, during which about eighty persons were hopefully converted to 
God. The whole number of members from the commencement has 
been 367, of which number 263 united by certiBcate, and 104 upon pro- 
fession, and the present number now in communion is about 300. 

The whole number of persons baptized has been 147, of which 36 
were adults, and 111 were infants. The present Pastor has oflSciated at 
59 funerals and at 35 weddings. 

The first Elders chosen were George B. Walbridge, Benjamin Hodge 
and Chauncey D. Cowles, who were elected and ordained by the Rev. 
Dr. A. T. Hopkins, on the 25th March, A. D. 1847. 

Cyrus M. Fay was elected Elder, and Morris Butler and Charles 
Taintor, Deacons, Feb. 25, 1848, and ordained to their respective offices 
March 5, 1848, by the Rev, Charles Rich. 

John R. Lee and Charles E. Clarke were elected Elders, and Horace 
Stillman and George L. Hubbard, Deacons, Dec. 11, 1851, and were 
ordained Jan. 11, 1852, by the Rev. A. T. Chester, D. D. 

The rule of the church in electing Elders and Deacons, as established 
by usage, is, that the male members of the church only vole in the 
election.

The first Trustees of the Society chosen at its organization, March 
10, 1847, were George B. Walbridge, Gurdon C. Cuit, Jul)n R. Lee, 
Charles G. Miller, Jason Sexton, Thomas J. Dudl-y, Morris Butler, Elias 
S. Hawley, and Dennis Bowen. New Trustees have been elected since 
as follows, viz: April 3, 1848. James Wadsworth, Pascal P. Pratt and 
Gibson T. Williams; April 2, 1849, S. Y. R. Watson; March 25, 1850, 
Andrew J. Rich; April 5, 1852, Austin A. Howard; March 25, 1853, 
Henry C. Walker. 

The Sabbath School was organized October C, 1847. The first Su- 
perintendent was George B. Walbridge, who held the office until the 
fall of 1851. Nathaniel Rogers was Superintendent during the rext 
year, and in the fall of 1852, William Stimpson, the present incumbent 
was elected. 

The Sabbath School is now large and flourishing, having an Infant 
Department in a separate room, and four Bible Classes, also occupying 
a room by themselves ; the main school is held in the capacious Lecture 
room. 

A Pastor's Library was founded in 1851, to which an annual contri- 
bution is made. It now consists of 170 volumes, among which are 
Poole's Synopsis, The Hexapla, Baxters complete works, in 23 volumes, 
&c. The Library is the property of the church, but kept by the Pastoi, 
and especially for his use. 

The benevolent operations of the church have been constantly in- 
creasing. The amount contributed last year to objects within the range 
of strict benevolence, was somewhat more than $2,500. During the 
current year the prospect is that this amount will be much larger. 

The Church is situated on the west side of Main street, between 
Chippewa and Huron streets. The lot is 94 feet front and 132 feet 
deep. The building is 74 feet wide, and about 122 feet deep. The 
vestibule is a circular hall 30 feet in diameter, and the audience room is 
91 feet long, and 71 feet broad, containing 150.1arge sized slips. There 
are also 50 slips in the gallery, exclusive of the commodious organ-loft. 
The church will accommodate, without additional seats, thirteen or four- 
teen hundred persons, and can be made to scat eighteen hundred. Tlie 
basement is divided into several rooms; the Lecture room, which will 
seat from four to five hundred persons; the Prayer meeting room, which 
will accommodate an hundred or an hundred and fifty ; the Session room,

Boston, cost about $3000. The pulpit is of white Italian marble 
The seats are tnmmed with drab damask. The walls are frescoed in a* 
chaste and beautiful manner. The bell weighs about 3,500 pounds.

THE FORM OF ADMISSION, 

WiTH THE DOCTK.NES AM> COVENANT TO WHICH THE CANDIDATES AKE EXPECTED 
TO GIVE ASSENT. 

Those Who wish to unite with the Church either upon profession of 
their faith or by certificate must meet with the session at one of its 
regular meetings, and if accepted, will present themselves for public 
reception at the next communion sabbath. If there are none to unite 
upon profession, candidates are received in the afternoon, rising in their 
places, and assenting to the two articles of the following covenant rela 
ting to fellowship with this church, and submission to its discipline. 
Those who unite upon the first profession of their faith present them- 
selves at the close of the sermon on the morning of the Communion 
Sabbath, and assent to the following doctrines and covenant, and if there 
are others to unite by certificate they are called upon at the same time 
to rise m their places and assent to the two articles of the covenant 
named above. 

The candidates being arranged before the desk, the minister shall say : 

ADDRESS. 

BELOVED FRIENDS: 

You have presented yourselves before God and this 
assembly to make a solemn profession of your religious 
faith, and to take upon yourselves everlasting obliga- 



sk^ 





lions. We trust that you have duly considered the 
nature of these professions, and of the engagements into 
which you are about to enter. They are of the most 
solemn moment, and upon the faithful observance of 
them your eternal happiness will depend. 

But be not disheartened. If you come with sincere 
desires toward God, and in the exercise of humble faith 
in the Saviour, He will impart to you grace and wisdom, 
and. finally make you partakers of eternal blessedness. 



The following are the articles of Faith to which you are expected to give your assent ; 

PROFESSION OF FAITH. 



I 

You believe in the existence of one living and true 
God ; that he is a spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchange- 
able, in his attributes and perfections. 

II 

You believe that there are Three Persons in the God- 
liead— the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost ; and 
that these Three Persons are one Godhead, the same in 
substance, and equal in power and glory. 

HI 

You believe that Jesus Christ is very God and very 
man, yet one Christ ; that tsvo perfect and distinct na- 
tures,'the human and divine, were inseparably joined in 
one Person, and that this Person is the only Mediator 
between God and man. You believe that the Lord 





10 




Jesus Christ, by his perfect obediene^e, and by his sacri- 
fice of himself, has opened a way of reconciliation be- 
tween God and man : so that all who receive Christ by 
faith amy be forgiven of God, and saved from their sins. 

lY 

You believe that our first parents, being left to the 
freedom of their own will, fell J^'o-m the estate wherein 
they were created, by sinning against God; and that their 
fall brought mankind into an estate of sin and misery. 

V 

You believe that such is the depravity of the human 
heart, that the Holy Spirit alone is able to bring man to 
repentance and to faith. 

VI 

You believe the Sacred Scriptures to be the revealed 
word of God, and as such the only infallible rule of faith 
and practice. 

VII 

You believe in the necessity of regeneration, and in 
the promises of justification, adoption, and final perse- 
verance, God's free gift, to all those who truly repent 
of their sins, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. 

VIII 

You believe that Christ has instituted an external and 
visible church, whose sealing ordinances, to the end of 
time, are Baptism and the Lord's Sapper, and that these 
two ordinances are the only Sacraments of his church ; 
that Baptism is to be administered to all who make a 






11 




credible profession of their faith, and to their infant 
children ; that the Lord's Supper is to be administered 
only to those who profess to have been renewed by the 
Holy Spirit. 

IX 

You believe in the immortality of the soul, and the 
resurrection of the body ; in a day of judgement, and 
in a feture and eternal state of reward and punishment 

You thus profess to believe. 

[Here the ordinance of Baptism is to be administerpd, if necessary.] 
You are now about to enter into solemn covenant with God. 

COVENANT. 




In the presence of God and this assembly, you do now 
most solemnly avouch the Lord Jehovah — Father, Son, 
and Holy Ghost — to be your God, the supreme object 
of your affections, and your portion forever. You cor- 
dially acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ to be your 
Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit to be your Sanctifier, 
Comforter, and Guide. You cheerfully devote youi-selves 
to God, in the everlasting covenant of His grace, conse- 
crating all your powers and fiiculties to His service and 
glory ; and you promise that through the assistance of 
His Spirit, you will ever cleave to Him, giving diligent 
attendance to His word and ordinances, and seeking the 
honor and interest of his kingdom ; and that henceforth, 
denying all ungodliness and every worldly lust, you will 
live soberly, -righteously, and godly in this present world. 



rm 





12 



[If there are any to unite by letter, they will here rise in their places and assent to the 
remainder of the covenant] 

You do also most solemnly promise, that, by the grace 
of God assisting, you will maintain a holy fellowship 
and communion with this Chi'istian church, in the wor- 
ship of God, in a punctual attendance upon its ordinances 
and in the performance of such other spiritual services 
as may tend to mutual edification. 

You do also, in like manner, promise that you will 
faithfully submit yourselves to the government and dis- 
cipline of this church, and that you will walk humbly 
and circumspectly in all its requirements. 

You thus promise. 

[Here the members of the church will rise.] 

In consequence of these professions and engagements, 
We, the members of this church, do cordially receive 
you into its holy fellowship and in the name of Christ 
welcome you to all its immunities and piivileges ; and 
on our part do most solemnly promise to be kindly 
affectioned toward you, watching over your spiritual 
interests, and promoting your spiritual welfare, so long 
as God, in His providence, may spare us to each other. 

[Here the members of the church will resume their seats.] 

Should you have occasion to change your place of 
residence, it will be your duty to seek, and ours to grant 
a recommendation to another church ; for hereafter you 
can never withdraw from the watch and communion of 
saints, without a breach of covenant. 

And now, beloved in the Lord, let it never be for- 
gotten that you have come under obligations of the most 
solemn character. Wherever you go, these vows will be 







13 



upon you. They will follow you to the bar of God, and 
will abide upon you forever. The Lord guide and i)re- 
serve you. 

And may grace, mercy, and peace, fi'om God the Fa- 
ther and Jesus Christ our Lord, ever attend this holy 
union. Amen. 



FORM USED AT THE BAPTISM OF INFANTS. 





The sacrament of Baptism was instituted by Jesus 
Christ — not only as a solemn form of admission into his 
visible Church — but also as a sign and a seal of the 
spiritual blessings which he imparts to his followers. 
The element of water, as used in this ordinance, is a 
striking symbol of our internal purification by the blood 
of Christ, and the influence of his spirit. And the appli- 
cation of this element, in the name of the Father, tlie 
Son, and the Holy Ghost, signifies our adoption into the 
family of God, and our introduction to the enjoyment 
of all the blessings of that covenant of grace which He 
has established with his people. 

It is not to be administered to any who are out of the 
visible Church, until they profess their faith in Chiist and 
their obedience to Him ; but the infants of such as are 
members of the visible Church, are to be baptized. 

In dedicating j^our child {or cliildren^) to God in this 
ordinance, you do publicly renew your covenant engage- 
ments with Him and with this Church. And you pro- 
mise, if your life and the life of your child {or child rai) 
should be spared, to teach it {or them) to read the word 





14 



of God — to instruct it {or them) in tlie principles of our 
holy religion ; an. excellent summary of which is to be 
found in the larger and shorter Catechisms adopted by 
our Church — to pray with it (or tliem) — and to pray for 
it (or them) — to set before it {or them) a godly example 
— and, by all the means of God's appointment, to bring 
it (or them) up in the nurture and admonition of the 
Lord. 

Kelying on the all-sufficiency of divine grace to make 
you faithful, and crown your efforts with success, do you 
engage, that these things, with whatever else you shall 
feel to be your duty as christian parents, you will faith- 
fully endeavor to perform ?
