desires to place on its records an appreciation of his character and worth.
Dr. Kerr was pre-eminently fitted by nature, training and preference
for the position of a clerk, and performed his duties with unfailing
courtesy, wise discrimination and absolute accuracy. His minutes were
always beautifully written and felicitously expressed and were regarded
as a model of what such records should be.
Assuming the duties of his office, October, 1895, he handed to the
Stated Clerk the full minutes of our last meeting, held in Atlantic City
one year ago, thus completing twenty-seven years of efficient service —
and on December 24th, 1921, quietly passed into the larger life.
Synod holds Dr, Kerr in loving and grateful remembrance.

statement of his work.
Brief addresses were made by the Rev. John Dixon, D.D..
Moderator, Rev. E. A. Odell and the Rev. W. Y. Chapman,
D.D.
The following recommendations were adopted :
1. That the Synod of New Jersey renews its oft-repeated and always
well deserved appreciation of the splendid service of its Treasurer, Wm.
P. Stevenson, in his generous dedication of his time and energy to the
work of caring for the Home Mission moneys of the Synod. The
Treasurer as such is just twenty-one years old to-day, and in testimony
of our sense of indebtedness for this long and effective service, the
Synod adopts this resolution by a rising vote.
2. The Synod hears with deep regret of the long and serious sickness,
which has compelled Rev. S. J. McClenaghan to resign, as Superintend-
ent of Home Missions and extends to him its heartiest fraternal sym-
pathy and fellowship, together with its appreciation of the way in
which he has ever given his whole heart to the work to which the Synod
called him seven years ago. It approves the action of its Synodical Home
Missions Committee in accepting this resignation.
3. That the Sj'nod records its sense of great loss in the death of Rev.
Dr. John T. Kerr, member and former chairman of the Synodical Home
Missions Committee, whose judgment and vision have been of greatest
value in guiding and strengthening Home Mission endeavor within its
bounds. His service in the development and adoption of its plan of
12 Minutes of the Synod of New Jersey. Oct.,
Synodical Home Missions and his zeal in its operation have been inval-
uable and have left results that will continue for all time.
4. That Synod elects as its Superintendent the Rev. Joseph Lyons
Ewing, of the Presbytery of Elizabeth, at a salary of $4,000 per annum,
and commends him to its churches for service in the cause of Home
Missions by presentation of the work in their pulpits and for conference
on matters of missionary endeavor.
5. That Synod apportions to the Presbyteries as a MINIMUM to be
raised by them for Home Mission work. National and Synodical, the
following amounts :
To the Presbytery of —
Elizabeth $18,000 00
Jersey City 20,000 00

New Brunswick 21,000 00
Newton 5,000 00
West Jersey 16,000 00
$160,000 00
6. That Synod directs, (a) that each Presbytery shall make definite
effort to exceed this m,inimum quota by such a sum as it may be able
to secure and that it be clearly recognized that the apportionment is
not the full measure of the needs of the work. And further, (b) that
any such excess up to $10,000 over Synod's full quota shall be retained
by the Synod for a fund for appropriation next year for development
of one or more strategic points oflfering special promise of usefulness.
And further, (c) that any excess over this $10,000 shall be sent in full
to the Board of Home Missions.
7. Synod directs that of the Home Mission ofiferings up to the full
$160,000.00 thus provided, 66^ per cent, shall be applied to work
within the S"ynod and 33]^ per cent, shall be applied to the work of
the Board of Home Missions according to the plan adopted by the
Synod and that any amount raised during the year in excess of the
sum thus designated shall go in its entirety to the Board. And further,

8. The Synod authorizes its Treasurer of Synodical Home Missions
at the close of tlie fiscal year to pay to the Treasurer of the Board of
Home Missions such a sum as may be necessary to secure to the
Board its z^tYz per cent, of all gifts to both causes, designated or
undesignated up to $160,000.00. Offerings through the Women's Socie-
ties and those specifically designated for work among the Jews being
excluded front the accounting.
9. That from the balance in the hands of the Treasurer at this
time, the sum of $8,000.00 shall be set aside as a "Special Fund" to
be administered according to the provisions of the Plan.
10. The Synod authorizies its Treasurer of Synodical Home Missions
to pay to the Board of Home Missions from the balance now in his
hands the sum of $11,803.77 in excess of the 33^ per cent, of the
$150,000.00 already accruing to the Board from the receipts of the past
year, being the full amount of the excess of receipts over the quota.
11. That the S'ynod recognizes the imperative necessity of raising the
money to paj' the debt now resting on the Board of Home Missions and
desires to co-operate in this effort in every way possible. It is sure that
all gifts for this purpose should be extra gifts and should not directly
or indirectly reduce the regular resources of the Board or the Synod.
It exempts all gifts for the debt, therefore, from any percentage divi-
sion with the understanding that they are to be extra contributions not
interfering with regular income.
12. That the Synod appropriates from the unused balance in the
Treasurer's hands the following amounts :
a. To the Presbytery of New Brunswick for Mt. Carmel
Italian Mission Trenton $1,000 00

e. For material to build a chapel at Johnson Place 700 00
f. For Daily Vacation Bible Schools in Newark 500 00
g. For a retiring Allowance for S. J. McClenaghan, $100 per
month, for six months 600 00
13. The Synod believes that its churches should send all Home Mis-
sion offerings to Mr. William P. Stevenson and that these ought not

Foreign Missions
The report of the Committee on Foreign Missions was pre- Foreign
sented by the Rev. C. J. Culp, D.D., Chairman of Synod's Com-
mittee. The report was received and the following recom-
mendations were adopted :
First. That our Sessions adopt some definite system in remitting
funds to the Board that they may be forwarded promptly and thus save
the heavy interest charges which the Board is compelled to pay every
year on account of delayed payments of the churches. These interest
charges run as high as $8,000 annually while the total interest charges
of all our Boards and Agencies for the same cause amounts to $55,000
annually. Your Committee pronounces this waste unnecessary and con-
demnable.
Second. That there be established in every congregation a Church
School of Missions. The Educational Department and Board can make
suggestions and provide excellent material to any church desiring to
establish this effective method of missionary education.
Third. That our churches make all the use possible of the splendid
slide service now available. The rental is small but the returns in
interest are large.
Fourth. That that Station Plan be adopted more generally. Distinct
advantages result when churches, Sunday Schools and individuals sup-
Work in
Europe.

port in whole or in part their own missionaries. We particularly recom-
mend to the Sunday Schools that they stake their claims on the Foreign
Field, shares in which are as low as ten dollars. Full particulars of this
"Stake Your Claim" plan can be secured .from Rev. George H. Trull,
Secretary of Specific Work, 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
Fifth. That the claims of Foreign Missions be set forth as challeng-
ing as possible before the young life of our churches that the ranks of
our workers may be kept full. The gift of life is even more important
than the gift of money.
Sixth. That the attention of pastors and sessions be called to the
Board's quarterly magazine All the World, which is sent to all families
or individuals contributing at least five dollars per year to Foreign
Missions and who are willing that fifteen cents of this amount shall be
considered a subscription to this excellent publication with forty-eight
pages of well-illustrated, fresh up-to-date missionary news.

ment, be heartily commended to all our pastors and churches, and that

its recommendations were adopted, as follows :
ig22. Minutes of the Synod of New Jersey. 23
The patli of duty now seems plain and clear, and the following
resolution is presented to your committee for action of the Synod :
Whereas, It appears that practically the entire population of Wrights-
town has petitioned the Synod to begin without delay the work of building
a suitable church, and organizing a work for church in Wrightstown for
the community and the camp ;
And Whereas, It is the judgment of the Methodist minister upon the
field that the Christian activities in that place should pass into the hands
of Presbyterians;
And Whereas,, The Board of Church Erection has appropriated the
sum of $5,000 towards a church edifice, and there is in the hands of our
treasurer the amount of $2,000 additional available for the purpose of
building ;
And Whereas, We own a lot in size and location admirably adapted
to our purpose; therefore.
Be it Resolved, That Synod authorize and direct its committee to
proceed to consummate the plans for building, and beginning work in
Wrightstown, provided the Presbytery of Monmouth shall approve our
plans and organize this church within its bounds as soon as the way be
open to take such action.
Since the above action was taken by Synod, the entire situation at
Wrightstown has changed :
By order of the War Department, Camp Dix has been abandoned as
a cantonment, and it will henceforth be occupied only during the summer
as a Training Camp, and it is not assured that this will be continued
beyond the present year. Another development has a bearing upon the
situation. Our Methodist brethren whom we recognize as pioneers in
the field of Wrightstown have come to consciousness, and are making a
vigorous effort to meet their responsibility.
In view of these facts your committee would now recommend :
1. That no further effort be made at present to establish a work in
Wrightstown.
2. That the Presbytery of Monmouth be directed to dispose of the lot
which we own in Wrightstown at such time and in such manner as may
be approved by the Trustees of Synod, who hold the title of said lot.
3. That the amount of money, now held by our Treasurer, Mr. John
H. Sinex, for the work in Wrightstown, be hereby appropriated to the
use of the Incorporators of the Presbyterian Home for Aged of the
Synod of New Jersey.

ance in New Jersey; Dr. J. K. Shields, of the Anti-'Saloon
League of New Jersey, and the Rev. Harry L. Bowlby, D.D.,
Secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance of the L^nited States.
The following resolutions were adopted :
1. Resolved, That Synod commends the Lord's' Day Alliance of New
Jersey for its splendid work during the year in the interest of Sabbath
observance. That public seirtiment has been aroused in the interest of
the Sabbath, and that the vicious Sunday bill that appeared in the Legis-
lature last session was defeated. That churches be urged to contribute
liberally to this work sending their gifts to the Alliance treasurer, Rev.
Samuel D. Price, D.D., 5 Vincent Place Montclair, N. J., and that the
General Assembly's resolutions on the Lord's Day Alliance of the United
States be reaffirmed by the Synod.
2. Resolved, That Synod expresses its confidence in the Anti-Saloon
League of New Jersey for the splendid leadership and honest methods
employed in our State, by which such good results are attained. We
heartily commend the work of the League to our churches and sessions,
and we recommend to the 130,000 members of our churches that they
perform their citizenship duties in support of the moral issues so clearly
drawn before the voters at the coming election on November 7th.
3. Resolved. That Synod urges its ministers, church officers and mem-
bers to seek the enforcement of the i8th Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States and the laws of New Jersey enacted in accord
therewith ; and to promote the sentiment that will advance the cause of
moral welfare.
4. Resolved, That Synod approves the contemplated reorganization
of the Interchurch Federation of New Jersey, and recommends the con-
tinuance of the present committee.
5. Resolved, That Synod urgently recommends the application, through
Christian effort and influence, of the teaching and spirit of Christ to all
human relationships, so that the church shall let its voice be heard for
Christian brotherhood and the highest good of all, to these days of strife
in the social, industrial and political world.
With the appreciation of this principle to international relationships
in mind. Synod enthusiastically commends the movement indicated by
Dr. Jowett in Great Britain, for the promotion of world-peace through
the Churches of Christ in every land, and earnestly hopes that the way

will soon be opened for the Church of America to co-operate in a prac-
tical manner.
In view of the injustice of the law that compels the reading of selec-
tions of the Old Testament in the Public Schools of this State. Be it
Resolved by the Synod of New Jersey, that the Committee on Moral
Welfare of this Synod be authorized to appear before the next Legisla-
ture of this State and present the desires of this Synod to have the law
so amended as to require the reading in the Public Schools of selections
of any portion of the Holy S'criptures commonlj'- called the Bible.
The Committee on Bills and Overtures reported through Rev.
W. P. Finney, D.D.. Chairman, as follows :
The recommendations were adopted.
Paper No. i is a communication from the Synod of North Dakota Bills and
asking the Synod of New Jersey to join with it in an overture to the
General Assembly recommending that the assembly "instruct the Execu-
tive Commission to equalize and adjust the undesignated funds given by
churches and individuals so that no Board or agency of the General
Assembly shall receive a sum total of designated and undesignated funds
greater than the per cent, of the amount allocated to it by the Executive
Commission; provided, that nothing in this overture shall be construed
as depriving any church or individual of the right to designate its or his
gifts."
The Committee on Bills and Overtures would recommend "No Action,"
for the reason that in the present process of consolidation and reorgani-
zation of the Boards and agencies of the church it would seem to be
unwise to ask for an action so binding, and place the responsibility of its
execution upon an agency whose existence itself is involved in the general
realignment.
Paper No. 2 proposes a resolution that the Synod of New Jersey
should heartily endorse the candidacy of certain persons, whose names are
mentioned, for political office at the approaching election.
The Committee on Bills and Overtures would recommend "No Action,"
for the reason that it is in direct contravention of the Constitution of
the Presbyterian Church, see Confession of Faith, Chapter 31, Section 4,
which enactment has been confirmed through the years by numerous and
unvarying decisions of the General Assembly, and more recently by
formal and extended decisions of the Permanent Judicial Commission.
Rev. R. H. Gage, D.D., explained the relationship of the
Presbytery of Havana to Synod, and presented the following
resolution which was adopted :

a part of the Synod of New Jersey, although its work is administered at
present by the Board of Home Missions, that the Synod directs its com-
mittee on Synodical Home Missions to consider how the work of this
Presbytery can be more intimately associated with the Synod's work.

APPENDIX
I.— NARRATIVE OF CHRISTIAN LIFE AND WORK.
In presenting this narrative, taken from the reports as furnished me
by the Stated Clerks of nine of the ten Presbyteries in our Synod, I do
not intend to burden you with a lot of figures or statistics, so easily
obtainable if you wish them, from the Minutes of the General Assembly,
but merely to present to you a compilation and condensation of these
reports and so far as possible to merge them into a composite, that may
give you a fairly accurate picture of the state of religion or the work of
the church within the bounds of our Synod.
To begin with I realize how difficult it is to measure many things per-
taining to the Kingdom and to state them in anything like concrete form
— nevertheless there are signs which we can read that are enlightening
and as we can discern the face of the sky — so are we able to perceive
in a general way the trend of religious conditions. There is no note of
pessimism in these reports and that to me is encouraging in these
troublous times when it is so easy to overlook the good we h-az'e and
complain of trivial ills fancied or real. The one item of statistics
that I shall bring to you is the net increase of church membership.
These figures are of necessity made to March 31, 1922, as none other
are available than those given in the General Assembly Minutes. The
report to Synod last year showed our total membership to be. . 132,007
There were added on examination, 8,386, by certificate 4,6ti, and
restored 1.679 14,676
146,683
There were lost by dismissal, 3.945 and death 1,966 5,911
There were placed on SYispended Roll 6,462
^2,373
134.310
Making our total membership 134,310, or an increase of 2,303.
All of these figures are taken from the reports of the Presbyteries,
but the General Assembly Minutes in its summary on page 532 gives the
net total membership as 136,210, making an apparent increase between
last year's total and this, of 4,203, or a discrepancy of just 1,900. This
is a palpable error, as no figures will make this foo-ting, and the error
in Assembly's total should be corrected. I have checked up several of
our Presbytery's figures and find that the Stated Clerks have not verified
the reports from the individual churches in several instances, causing
errors of about 400.

30 Narrative of Christian Life and Work. Oct.,
By the above item of 6,462 placed on suspended roll you will note
that though we gain many new members we forget or neglect them while
searching for others and allow them to drift away overlooking our
Lord's command "Feed my lambs" — "feed my sheep." To make real
progress we must conserve our additions while we strive to gain others.
No wise and skillful fisherman will let his catch jump out of the boat
while he is ever so faithfully and persistently fishing for more. For
your comfort, however, I must add that of this large number of 6,462,
2,916 were put on suspended roll in Presbytery of Corisco.
In the matter of church 111 oiiber ship and services, I find in Elizabeth
all of the churches but one show an increase in membership, Havana
reports, "more than ever before. Cuban statistics show very pleasing
increase." Jersey City has three churches having over 100 accessions;
several more than 50. Monmouth reports 20 that show increases totaling
317 — seven remain the same as last year — two show a decrease. In the
churches of Morris and Orange, none report large accessions — most
report "about stationary." From Newark the majority report "net
increase," some "very substantial," one added 78 but showed a net loss
of 133 in consequence of many having been placed on reserve roll ; three
or four remained stationary, six show net losses, New Brunswick, many
report "substantial gains, but offset to some extent by losses." Newton,
one-half the churches report "membership stationary." Most of the
remainder show slight increase, only two a notable increase, and they in
the industrial center of Phillipsburg. West Jersey reports increase over
a year ago. Nearly all attribute increase to Evangelistic services, the
Sunday School, and Pastoral effort and personal work.
I find with very few exceptions the morning services are well attended
but the evening services are a great problem, and the mid-week prayer
service, a source of great perplexity, has been abandoned by some few.
One, however, says the "church people look forward with eager antici-
pation to it, and a few others report successful well attended prayer
meetings. I should very much like to know what can be the secret of
their success. Various methods adopted to promote deeper interest, are
headlines, special programs, special music, prominent speakers —
stereopticon slides and moving pictures. I have wondered whether
the church is not getting more methods than power, more har-
ness than horse, more organization than Christianization, rather than
depending upon preaching the pure unalloyed gospel which the people
yearn for and will come again and again to hear. Sessions do not gen-
erally render much assistance in looking after the members and others,
though a few report great help where the Eldership does co-operate with
the Pastors along these lines. In some instances it may be the Pastor's
fault, in others it is the indifference of the Elders. I would call your
attention to a little booklet entitled, "The Ruling Elder," by Dr. Erdman,
of Princeton, which will be found very helpful and enlightening to all
the ruling elders, setting forth as it does both the dignity and duty of
their office, the obligations they assumed when they were ordained and
ic)22. Narrative of Christian Life and Work. 31
the proper functioning which inchides "The spiritual oversight of
individual members and of the entire congregation."
The value and importance of the Communion Service is emphasized by
all and extra effort is made to get a large percentage of membership
present. The means employed producing best results are sending out
personal invitations. The use of cards and tokens is also found help-
ful. Nearly all report this service to be of great spiritual uplift and
inspiration. One church reports this service "so profitable and enjoyable
that all the members who throng the church cannot get in."
Pastoral Function and Evangelism.
All are agreed that pastoral, not merely social, visitation is valuable,
tliat all sick, needy, distressed or permanently "shut-ins" should be faith-
fully ministered to. Reports run from "500 calls or four times per year"
to "only when needed." Most Presbyteries report substantial co-opera-
tion by the Elders practically negligible, one or possibly two report
valuable assistance in personal work during Evangelistic services, and in
calling upon new members and newcomers to the church neighborhood.
The importance of anchoring new members and thoroughly domiciling
them by "giving them something to do," and by holding an occasional
social in order that they may become better acquainted with each other,
is urged to prevent the too prevalent drifting away.
Religious Education and Young People's Work.
But few churches have a clearly defined program of Religious Educa-
tion and exceedingly few have any special committee appointed. The
great majority depend on pulpit, Sunday School and Home Department
to supply the need. The S'unday Schools now using graded lessons (and
they are steadily increasing in numbers) are doing admirable work
through the home work required to be done, but the indifference and
lack of co-operation on the part of parents prevent the best results
being obtained. There appears to be a large gain in organized classes
(and these are of real value), and also in Young Peoples' Societies,
Christian Endeavor and Junior Christian Endeavor Societies and Boy
Scouts. These should be considered as training camps for the future
leaders of our churches, and ought not to be overlooked, but carefully
fostered and encouraged. Protestant children are being greatly neglected
in this matter of religious education. One-half hour on Sunday or say
26 hours per year is in most localities all they receive, while Roman
Catholic children get four hours per week or 208 hours per year, and
Jewish children receive one hour per day for eleven months of the year or
335 hours. In Somerville, all denominations, including Roman Catholics
and Jews, co-operating, have a week-day school of one hour on one morn-
ing of each week, taken from school hours and held in the church of the
choice of the parents of the children attending. 85 per cent, of all chil-
dren between third and sixth grades are enrolled and 60 per cent, of
High School groups Were present last year; 20 per cent, of the Roman
i2
Narrative of Christian Life and Work. Oct.,
Catholic children in attendance would not otherwise have been reached,
as they lived in localities where there were no parochial schools con-
venient. This school has just entered its third year. Another in Glad-
stone, Peapack District, has lOO per cent, of children outside the Roman
Catholic, in attendance. Similar schools are in operation in Caldwell,
Haddonfield, Haddon Heights, etc. The church must not neglect the
children, but prize them as a valuable asset. In a number of the Literary
Digest discussing this subject, the statement was made that "The typical
city church spends $1.46 for music, $1.07 for janitor service to every
$0.47 for its Sunday School, and gets results in proportion.
I find but few Sunday S'chools have reached the Standard of Excel-
lence set up by our Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath
School work, and furthermore that during the past year the enrollment
of our Sunday Schools shows a shrinkage of 15,000 members. This
department of our work however, is not without encouragement inasmuch
as so large a proportion of those uniting with the church on profession
come from our Sunday Schools. Nevertheless, though this be true, we
deplore the fact that so many more go from our schools without accept-
ing Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour.
In the city of Trenton a Community School of Religious Education
has been held for 16 to 24 weeks, one night a week, for the past three
years, with 200 to 300 students enrolled, providing a high-grade faculty
and a most comprehensive curriculum all under supervision of a compe-
tent director. After completing a three-years' course and passing a
thorough examination, diplomas are awarded. The first class graduated
last winter.
Some pastors urge young men to enter the ministry, but they do not
magnify its high calling or present it with sufficient force to make it
attractive to our best young men. Quite a number hold communicant
classes for young people already in, or candidates for membership in the
church. Why do not all so coach candidates that they may fully under-
stand the solemn covenant they are making and the obligations they
assume.
The Junior congregations is being recognized by many and special
sermons and features in the morning services are provided for it. Do you
ask why more young people from the Sunday S'chool do not attend the
church services? I do not pretend to k)wzv, but I believe it is because
the Church Service is not planned to attract and interest them. The
Church can draw the young people if it zvill.
The Community.
From the various Presbyterial reports there appears to be no organized
Community work in any of our churches, and I find the opinion
expressed by some that while the church has a duty to the community,
primarily its sphere is that of religion and morality, and in these (which
includes the social) she should be a powerful factor through her services,
her pastor and her people in all industrial, business, social and community
1^22. Narrative of Christian Life and Work. 33
life. But few have any organized program, though some consider it as
an important part of their work, and have social study groups studying
their own particular problems. The great majority of churches are
linked up to community and welfare work through individuals in their
congregations who are particularly interested, and are co-operating with
outside civic and charitable institutions. Two Trenton churches have
Community Clubs meeting monthly, ten months of the year, where mat-
ters of interest are presented by good speakers and entertainment pro-
vided by musical attractions, stereopticon lectures, moving pictures, etc.,
usually closing with the serving of refreshments. These meetings are
wtell attended, at times crowded, thus drawing many men together in
good fellowship and under Christian influences and so tying them up
to the Church. There appears to be a growing tendency to liold union
services with other denominations, especially on Thanksgiving Day and
during Easter week. This is a most happy sign of the times. One
alternates monthly with a Methodist Episcopal Church in union service.
In Havana one joins with Society of Friends in publishing a monthly
m,agazine; one has a good movie show every other Saturday night in
order to furnish wholesome recreation to the community.
Missions and Benevolences.
The every-member canvass has been very generally adopted by the
churches, with most happy results. The universal report shows substan-
tial increase as to number of contributors, while amount of contributions
remains practically same as last year. Much greater interest in the
subject of Missions is apparent in every direction. As an outstanding
feature one Presbytery reports that one church now supports its Sunday
School, and now all the offerings of the Sunday School go to Missions.
(I welcome them to our ranks. Our church has always adopted this
plan) Schools of Missions, Missionary Study Classes, stirring sermons
by the Pastor, talks (sometimes illustrated) by returned missionaries —
the activity of the Women's Societies (God bless them) has greatly
intensified the interest of the church in its desire and effort to obey the
Lord's Command : "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature."
Remittances.
It is difficult to understand the reason for procrastination or delay in
performing a duty that must be done. A letter will never be answered
by being laid aside or pigeon-holed; a report blank will never get filled
out or filled in by waiting and hoping it will be more easily done some
other times. It takes a treasurer no longer to make out a check to-day
than some other day. A letter should be answered at once if proper
courtesy is to be shown the writer. A reix)rt blank should be filled in
and forwarded at once if we have any consideration for the official
needing it, and a treasurer has no right to withhold money contributed
for a specific object or Board, to suit his personal convenience, when it
34 Narrative of Christian Life and Work. Oct.,
is needed by the Board, and so compel it to pay interest on loans, while
awaiting his pleasure. I find some remitting monthly, and that is the
only proper way ; others quarterly which is fairly good ; others semi-
annually. There may be a good reason, but the majority help to swell
the deluge by sending their remittance just in time to get it counted at
the end of the year. This ought not to be. It costs our Boards thou-
sands of dollars while church treasurers follow this unbusinesslike
method.
Finances.
As already mentioned, nearly all churches have adopted the every-
member canvass plan, and but few still cling to the renting of pews.
Pastors' salaries in many have been increased and promptly paid, and
but few report "S'alary inadequate." Nevertheless, we must all agree
that salaries are far from being munificent, and the word "inadequate"
is hardly a fair term. Standard Dictionary says adequate means fully
sufficient, so when we say salaries are adequate, if we mean to keep
body and soul together, "yes," if to "get by" by constant economizing,
"yes," but if to make one comfortable and at the same time free from
care, I apprehend there would have been more to join with the few
exceptions who reported "inadequate." The treasurers' books are prac-
tically all audited, the buildings in good repair and insured. A word
as to the latter. Having spent all my business life in the real estate and
insurance business, I have learned with amazement that by the indiffer-
ence of trustees, or by their desire to save the outlay in pajonent of
premiums, so very many churches fail to properly protect themselves
with insurance. Both building and contents are often insured for but
very small percentage of actual valiie, and in case of loss, usually total,
the church is obliged to do what they have no justification in doing,
viz. : solicit funds from the community at large. This condition is
aggravated for the reason that the value of all property has nearly
doubled during the past few years, and the above condition of things
prevailed before this increase took place. In this connection I would
also give a word of warning. Under the present employers' liability
law, churches and all other corporations, as well as individuals, are
compelled to insure for the protection of their employees (excepting
household servants and farm hands). Failure so to do puts them in
violation and under penalty, beside being held liable for any injury that
might -accrue. I have called attention to this matter with perfect free-
dom for the reason that for the past three years I have retired from
active business life, and am so not especially interested in the subject of
insurance.
General.
From all the Presbyteries reporting, I find the Stated Clerks say their
"report is based upon replies from a number that varies from 50 per
cent to 80 per cent, of the whole number of churches in the Presbytery."
What is the matter with the others? Three churches in one Presbyterj'
IQ22. Narrative of Christian Life and Work. 35
report largest accessions in any year in their history. Men's work in
Bible Classes has been widened; the Women's Bible Classes and Socie-
ties show greater activity; the evangelistic note has been emphasized,
and in consequence the evangelistic spirit has been intensified so that the
church members, thus awakened, are made more willing and ready for
the doing of personal work.
I have refrained from mentioning, specifically, names of churches or
Presbyteries in my quotations ; nevertheless, I cannot refrain at this
time from making special mention of the work in Havana Presbytery.
I quote some of the best things : "More members this year than any
previous year. Services never so well attended as now. In many locali-
ties difficult to find buildings large enough to hold the Sunday School
and preaching services. Congregations believe in spiritual power of the
Lord's Supper which is held regularly. Best results among Sunday
School children and young people. At last meeting Presbytery adopted
resolution requiring every church to make annual contributions to all the
church Boards," etc., etc. In the whole Synod, I find the amount paid
for congregational expenses has increased $143,000, while contributions
to the Boards of the church remain about stationary, very little variation
in any of them. In our State we have a wonderful opportunity for
Home or Foreign work whichever j'ou prefer to call it. The growing
generation must be won for Jesus Christ if we would retain the Chris-
tian S'abbath, now so rapidly becoming like the Continental Sabbath of
Europe. We must practice eternal vigilance, for forces are at work
laying plans deep for its further commercialization and many, nominally
Giristians, are becoming more and more reconciled to its holiday usage.
Again we are now facing a battle royal, the fight is on, the church has
been challenged, the enemy has thrown his hat in the ring, shall law and
order prevail, shall the Constitution of the United States be upheld, shall
the Volstead Act be enforced, shall New Jersey be counted wet or dry?
The issue is clean-cut and unless the church rallies irrespective of party
to support the candidates backed by the anti-saloon league we shall
deservedly meet defeat and this we cannot aflford to do and must not
permit.
In summing up, I only desire to add this word of comment. I believe
the church needs more spiritual life, more spiritual power, obtainable
only by fervent and importunate prayer, rather than so many plans,
methods, organization and so much machinery. The church cannot com-
pete with the world in the matter of entertainments, exhibitions or sensa-
tionalism, but it has something far better to offer, viz. : the gospel and
saving power from sin, which, if presented in a sincere, fearless, loving
and simple way helped by the Holy Spirit, can win the world, and this
old gospel is what human hearts are hungering for to-day. To be
sure we are living in a different age, but we can learn much from the
apostolic church.
On the whole we have much to be thankful for. Progress has been
made, a spirit of optimism prevails, and the future has much of promise.
36 Narrative of Christian Life and Work. Oct.,
Let us then, with abiding faith and boundless courage, ever seeking the
presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit, go to our task, for we know
that in God's own time
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore.
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

REV. HENRY E. MOTT, D.D.,
was born in Brockport, N. Y., October 17, 1852. He graduated from
Princeton University in 1874, and from Union Theological Seminary,
New York, in 1877. He was ordained to the Ministry by the Presbytery
of Lansing in 1878. He held charges subsequently to Albion, Michigan;
Newburyport, Mass. ; Augusta, Me. ; Dubuque, Iowa ; Buffalo, N. Y., and
in 1900 entered upon his last pastorate over Westminster Church, Eliza-
beth, N. J., which ended a few years later. Thereafter he was afflicted
with steadily declining health, until death came to his release, in Devon,
Pa., February 2, 1922, in his seventieth year.
The honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on him by
Princeton University in 1901. In this same year he was a member of the
General Assembly, and served as Chairman of the Standing Committee
on Ministerial Relief. Through the report drafted and presented by him,
the Sustentation Fund was subsequently created, as a department of the
Board of Ministerial Relief and Sustentation. He was a magnetic
speaker, and a preacher of exceptional power.
He is survived by a wife and one son.
REV. JOHN T. KERR, D.D.,
the son of Matthew and. Julia Thompson Kerr, at York Furnace, York
County, Pa., was born on June 28th, 1853.
He united with the Presbyterian Church of Wrightsville, Pa., on
profession of his faith, at the age of fifteen, and was prepared for College
at the York Collegiate Institute.
38 Necrology. Oct.,
After several years' service in banking, he entered the junior class at
Princeton University, and graduated in 1879, with a creditable record
for scholarship, and with the high esteem of professors and students for
his consistent Christian life and his activity in the religious work of the
student body. Entering the Theological Seminiary at Princeton, N. J.,
he completed the regular course and graduated in 1882.
In that year, the Presbytery of Elizabeth ordained him to the ministry
and installed him pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Lamington, N. J.
In 1886 he was called to the Third Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth,
and he was installed Pastor on May 14th of that year, remaining in happy
and successful service for thirty-one years. Failure in health compelled
him to resign his charge in 1917, still residing in the City of his long
labors and close ministerial fellowship.
In all these years he steadily grew in intellectual strength, spiritvial
power and widening influence. Of pleasing personality, . kindly nature,
courteous manners and unselfish spirit, he won and held a wide circle of
ardent admirers, faithful friends, and loyal followers. While laboring
diligently in the field conimitted to his care he did not fail in rendering
aid to his brethren in his own or other denominations, and to the com-
munity in which he lived. His counsel and co-operation were eagerly
sought and readily secured in church and civic affairs, while his common
sense, ready speech, manifest sincerity, sense of humor, and unfailing
courtesy, made him a most acceptable companion and satisfactory
co-worker. Presbytery appreciating these qualities and his business
abilities, early assigned him the important duties of Permanent Clerk,
and in 19 15 promoted him to Stated Clerk. With like recognition, the
S'ynod of New Jersey chose him as Recording Clerk in 1895, an office
which he filled most acceptably for more than one-quarter of the century
which we to-day celebrate. Sincere sorrow for the loss of such a
companion and fellow servant largely lessens the joy of the occasion.
Through his long official service he became possessed of an unusual
grasp of Presbyterial law and procedure, which gave him an authority
in discussion, and made him eminently fitted for the chair of Lecturer
on Presbyterian Church Government in the Theological Seminary at
Bloomfield, N. J. In a still wider ministry, he was at one time President
of the New Jersey Christian Endeavor Union; served for a considerable
time as Chairman of the Committee on Church Extension and Synodical
Home Missions of Presbytery; serving also as a Trustee of Presbytery,
and of Bloomfield Theological Seminary being clerk of that Board at
the time of his death. Though relinquishing the active duties of the
pastorate, he could not be idle or silent, and gladly preached whenever
his health and an opportunity permitted, and always and everywhere was
heard with pleasure and profit his sermon. at a Union service last
Thanksgiving Day in Elizabeth, being frequently quoted and heartily
praised for its power and unction. Throughout his ministry, diligence in
study, never relinquished, gave him mastery of God's word; a positive
creed and an assured faith gave him a mastery of minds ; a sympathetic
ig22. Necrology. 39
nature, and a warm heart gave him mastery of emotions ; a love for his
Lord and a passion for souls gave him persuasiveness of speech and con-
trol of wills; experience of life's sorrows made him a "Son of Consola-
tion" to the afflicted while a Christ-like character and a consistent life
confirmed the truth spoken by his lips and added power to his preaching.
In 1910, Wooster University, of Ohio, gave him the honorary degree
of Doctor of Divinity, a title as modestly worn as it had been worthily
won. On June 5th, 1883, he married Miss Julia A. McConkey, of Wrights-
ville. Pa., who with two children survived him, but who since then has
joined him above.
In the early hours of December 24th, 1921, the final summons came,
and ever-obedient to the Master's call, he arose and followed Him into
the higher life, larger service and sweeter fellowship of heaven. His
funeral was held at his residence in the City of Elizabeth, December
26th, 1921, being conducted by his intimate friend and co-presbyter, Rev.
E. B. Cobb, D.D., assisted by his successor in the pastorate of the Third
Church of Elizabeth, Rev. R. W. Mark. The internment was in Wrights-
ville. Pa.
We recall him to-day, as a Brother loving and beloved, as a workman
who never needed to be ashamed. Bowing in sorrow and submission,
we beseech and await the falling of his mantle of love and devotion.
Presbytery of Jersey City
REV. GEORGE COULSON,
died on Tuesday morning, January 31, 1922, in the sixty-sixth year of
his age. He had been ill several weeks. He was born in Cecil County,
Maryland, June 17th, 1855. He graduated from Princeton University
in 1878. Later, he became a lawyer, but in 1889 he entered Princeton
Theological Seminiary, where he remained until 1892. On October 28th
of that year he was ordained by the Presbytery of Jersey City and became
stated supply at Perryville, Maryland. From 1894 to 1895 he was pastor
there. In the latter year he returned to Paterson and for several years
labored in the Warren Point Mission, which was then under the care of
the Southern Presbyterian Church. For a time he was minister in charge
of the Albion Place Chapel, a branch of the Westminster Presbjrterian
Church of Paterson. Mr. Coulson was a good man, a faithful student
of God's word and thoroughly orthodox. He is survived by a brother,
Robert E. Coulson, and three sisters, the Misses Sophie, Eliza and Zellie
Coulson. The funeral services were private and the interment was at
West Nottingham Cemetery, Maryland.
Presbytery of Monmouth
REV. FRANK EDGAR MASON.
son of Rev. Edgar C. and Annie Moore Mason, was born in Greenville,
Tenn., July 14th, 1890. He graduated from Rutgers College in 1910,
winning highest scholastic honors. He began to do missionary work in
40 Necrology. Oct.,
his Sophomore year in college and preached for five years every summer
before his ordination. Entering the Theological Seminary at Princeton,
and taking a post-graduate course at the University, he received the
degree of M.A. from Princeton in 1912 and received his diploma of grad-
uation from the Seminiary in 1913.
The Presbytery of Newark ordained him the same year, and being
transferred to the Presbytery of Seattle, he was installed Pastor of the
Church at Port Angeles, Wash. Here after a few months of labor, a
serious breakdown in health occurred, and he began a long struggle for
its recovery. He took up temporary residence first at Saranac Lake,
N. Y., and then at Albuquerque, N. M.
He, however, never recovered sufficiently to resume the work of the
Ministry. On June 22, 1915, he transferred his relation from the Pres-
bytery of Seattle, and was received in the Presbyteary of Monmouth, in
which his father had held two charges and within which be had received
his early Christian training.
He was married to Miss Mollie J. Coulbourne, of Snow Hill, Md.
He died at the Presbyterian Sanatorium, Albuquerque, N. M., on Febru-
ary 20th, 1922, in his 32nd year, and his body was brought thence for
burial to Snow Hill, Md., and the funeral services were held in the
Presbyterian Church of that place.
Thus a consecrated and devoted servant returns to the Master, who
measures life not by years, but by heart-beats, and worth, not by service
alone but by suffering, and patient waiting, and rewards fidelity rather
than accomplishment. He knows those who are His, who can honestly
say with Him, "The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up," and to whom
he will doubtless reply, "Thou hast been faithful over little, enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord."
REV. WILLIAM J. B. EDGAR,
son of John and Martlia (Brown) Edgar, was born in Jersey City, N. J.,
October 13th, 1867, and died August 3rd, 1922.
He graduated from the Theological Seminary at Princeton in the class
of 1891, and was ordained and installed pastor of the church at Wash-
ington, N. Y., where he remained for a brief time, when he was called
to the First United Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, Pa., where he
labored, most acceptably and successfully for twenty-one years. In this
period, the site of the old church was sold to advantage and the Congre-
gation secured a new and more advantageous location in a growing
section of the city, and a handsome and commodious building was erected.
The rapid growth of the church and congregation under his leadership,
and through his efficient ministry and eloquent preaching, fully justified
the change, and demonstrated his ability. After this long and happy
pastorate, he resigned to accept a unanimous call to the Presbyterian
Church at Jamesburg, N. J., and transferred his membership to the Pres-
bytery of Monmouth, and was installed pastor of that church. Here
again he demonstrated his ability as a preacher and his acceptance as a
pastor.

The extreme sickness of his wife intertered with the efficiency of his
work and after her death in 1920, he determined to resign that pastorate
in order to take up EvangeHsm, feeling that his temperament and tastes,
and studies and efforts in pastoral evangelism fitted him for that work.
Upon resignation he took up his residence in Philadelphia, and assisted
his brethren in various churches. In December, 192 1, he accepted the
invitation of the Presbyterian Church of Titusville, Pa., to become the
Pastor-Supply in the absence of Dr. Samuel Semper during an eight
months' visit to the Orient. In this temporary pastorate he endeared
himself to the people of the church and entire community by his earnest
and helpful preaching and his sympathetic service to the sick and shut-
ins, and won his way to the hearts of the young people by his enthusiastic
participation in their out-door sports, and by his sympathy and fellow-
ship. On the return of their pastor. Dr. Semple, his services ended on
July 30, with a communion service largely attended, and when many
united on profession of their faith, and three young men declared their
decision to enter the ministry. In the afternoon a community service,
held in a park, gave him the opportunity to deliver his farewell message,
which he did with great freedom of speech, and impressiveness of spirit-
ual power.
Four days afterward. August 4th, at Wildwood, N. J., he dropped dead,
while walking with his two daughters. Heart failure, after participa-
tion in tennis and ball, with the young people, was the cause of his
sudden departure. But he had finished his work and was fully prepared
to meet his Master, and realized his oft-expressed desire to be spared a
lingering death.
Shocked by the sudden death and moved with profound sorrow and
regret, the session of the Titusville Church, from whom he has so recently
parted drew up resolutions of sincere sympathy to his bereaved family,
with expression of heartiest appreciation of his services rendered them,
to the community and to the Cause of Christ and closing their church as
a token of respect, sent their pastor. Dr. Semple, to be their representa-
tive at the funeral services on August 6th, and to communicate their
resolutions of sympathy and sorrow. These services, deeply impressive
were held in the Church at Jamesburg, in which he had labored so success-
fully, and his body was laid at rest in Femwood Cemetery, beside that
of his wife and other relatives. As dust was mingled with dust below,
so spirit was joined to spirit above.
He is survived by three sons and two daughters.
Presbytery of Morris and Orange
REV. THORNTON ALLEN MILLS, PH.D.,
was born at Indianapolis, Indiana, September 19th, 1855, and died at
Flanders, N. J., July ist, 1922.
He attended school at Indianapolis, and then at Philips Academy,
Andover, Mass., where he graduated, and afterward was a teacher for a

time. He graduated from Wooster University, Ohio, and from McCor-
mick Theological Seminiary, Chicago, 111., and immediately entered upon
Home Missionary work under the Congregational Board, in Northwest
Minnesota for two years or more. After this he was at Beacon Hill,
N. Y., and Essex, N. Y., for about a year each.
He was in Champlain, N. Y., in 1883, and about 1885 at Flanders,
N. J., going to Asbury, N. J. about 1887. The next year to Providence,
R. I., and from there to Wilkesbarre, Pa., in 1891. In 1902, he moved
to San Jose, Cal., having accepted the call of the Second Presbyterian
Church, and served it for five years ; he returned East to the Presbyterian
Church in Schenectady, N. Y., in 1907, laboring for five years. His home
being broken up by the death of his wife, and his daughter having gone
as a Missionary to Korea, he resigned, and commissioned by the Board
of Foreign Missions, joined her in her labors at Taiku, Korea. Return-
ing home because of the ill health of his daughter, he settled at Lake
George in 1914, remaining until- 1918, when he accepted a call to Flanders,
N. J., a church of his earliest ministry, and where, respected, trusted and
loved by his devoted people, he was called to his rest and reward in his
66th year. He was a man of unusual symmetry of character, of varied
talent, and of consecreated spirit, and unwearied effort.
In each of his many and brief pastorates he left, by his life and work,
marked and permanent influence in many lives, and memories, still fresh
and fragrant in many hearts. As a preacher, his sermons were ever
simple, scriptural, sweet and strong. As a pastor he was warm in
sympathy, keen in interest, prompt in attention and unwearied in devo-
tion. While laboring in many of the smaller churches, he ever had a
wide world outlook, and by his prayers, gifts, service and sacrifice, he
sought to establish the Kingdom of Christ. He gave his daughter to the
foreign field and joined her there, sharing her labors and supplementing
the labors of other missionaries in many ways. His pleas for the heathen
were passionate and persistent. As a Presbyter, he was held in highest
esteem by his brethren, for his clear-thinking, wise counsel and courteous
manner. Christlike character and faithful labors.
Wooster University gave him his degree of Doctor of Philisophy, and
his ministerial brethren that of Brother Beloved.
He was married (-1) to Miss Cornelia Safiford, in 1881, and (2) to
Mrs. Clara Clark Williams, widow of Rev. Theo. B. Williams, on June
22, 1916, who with two children by his first wife, survive him. He was
buried from the Flanders Presbyterian Church and was laid at rest in
the family plot in the cemetery at Dover, N. J.
REV. HERMAN C. GRUHNERT, D.D.,
was born in Schonitz, Saxony, Germany, February 20th, 1849, and died
July igth, 1922, in his 73rd year.
He pursued his studies in the public schools of his native city. . Reveal-
ing a special talent for music, he was sent at fifteen years by public
subscription to Dresden, to complete his musical studies. Here he became
ig22. Necrology. 43
proficient on the violin, and was chosen Concert-Master of the City
Orchestra. A young Christian American of wealth, a member of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York, meeting him after one
of his concerts, found him, while filled with enthusiasm for his art, not
satisfied with it as a profession, but wished to give his life to his S'aviour.
At the solicitation and aid of his new-found friend. Mr. McMartin, he
came to the United States in 1871, entered Bloomfield Theological Sem-
inary, and graduated in 1875.
While still a student he preached in the First German Presbyterian
Church of Orange, then vacant, so acceptably that upon graduation he
was called to be its pastor. Ordained and installed he served for 47
years, the only pastorate in his life ministry. Debt was removed, the
congregation enlarged and strengthened. Beside the regular work of
his church, he was editor of the Deutsche)- Evangelist, the organ of the
German Presbyterian and German Reformed Churches in America, from
1885-1890, and thereafter until his death was a frequent contributor to
its columns. He was also the musical editor of two German hymn books
widely used. The public press too often critical of the ministry, was
unanimous in his praise, at the time of his death: "There are few men
in the community who have merited and received the measure of respect
and esteem that has been accorded this reverend pastor" ; "No man was
ever more welcome in a newspaper office than was he" ; "He was an old-
time leader of his flock — looked up to by them, and yet serving them in
the humility of the Master he tried so well to emulate" ; "The report
of the Y. M. C. A. credits him with having spoken at more meetings than
are credited to any other minister or layman, and yet it was all done in
a quiet, humble spirit that gained little in the way of publicity, but
much in the way of regard." "A native of Germany the beloved min-
ister gloried in the principles of Americanism and he was a strong factor
in imparting the ideals of the land of his adoption to those who immi-
grate here." Through his efforts and services, begun in 1889 among the
German population in the Valley section, the Orange Valley Church was
organized in 1891, and by his sympathy and help has since been main-
tained and developed.
Thus he served to the end, "in labors more abundant." Bloomfield
Theological Seminiary gave him the degree of D.D. in 1910, but every
one spoke of him reverently as "The Grand Old Man." His Presbytery
thrice made him its Moderator, and three times sent him as its delegate
to the General Assembly.
In 1877 he married Miss Margaret Romig, of Bloomfield, N. J., who
died February sth, 1891, and subsequently. Miss Louise Burkhardt, who
with three children, survives him.
His funeral services were held in his Church, July 22, 1922, and were
marked by simplicity, dignity and impressiveness. They were conducted
by Dr. W. A. Nordt. a life-long friend, and were shared by members
of his Presbytery. The interment was in Rosedale Cemetery. He is
44 Necrology. Oct.,
mourned as a devoted husband, a loving father, a faithful pastor, and
Presbyter, and a loyal citizen.
Though early filled with enthusiasm for musical art, he made no mis-
take, when professionally he laid aside his violin and the baton of leader-
ship, and gave himself to the service of his Saviour, who found him a
fit instrument in His hands, through which to express Divine thoughts
and feelings, for the joy of many listening souls. And Heaven's, "Well
done," will long out-last the applause of earth. The music of his favorite
instrument, may well illustrate the varied experiences of his life, and of
what we call death :
"Down o'er the vibrant strings.
That thrill, and moan, and mourn, and glisten,
The Master draws his bow.
A voiceless pause — then upward, see, it springs,
Free as a bird with disimprisoned wings!
* * *
Life is the downward stroke; the upward, LIFE;
Death but the pause betv^^een."
Presbytery of New Brunswick
REV. JAMES B. CLARK,
was born at Murraysville, Westmorland County, Pa., October 28, 1855,
and was the son of James and Rebecca King Clark, and died April 18th,
1922, in Philadelphia, Pa.
He graduated from Washington and Jefiferson College in 1880.
His theological studies were begun in the Western Theological S'em-
inary, where he spent one year. He then entered Princeton Theological
Seminary and graduated in 1884. He was licensed April 18, 1882 by the
Presbytery of Blairsville. October \6, 1884. the Presbytery of Chester
ordained and installed him Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at New
London, Pa. After a brief pastorate here, he became pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Clinton, a suburb of Philadelphia, and again was
transferred to Lower Mt. Bethel, Pa.
In 1892 he accepted a call to the Amwell Second Church, Mt. Airy,
N. J., and was transferred to the Presbytery of New Brunswick, and
installed. After a ministry of eight years, he was called to the Church
of Dayton, N. J., and in this important rural community served success-
fully and happily for twenty years. Advancing years, impaired health
and responsibilities laid upon him and his wife, led him to resign his
charge, and he took up his residence in Philadelphia, Pa., in the home of
Mrs. Clark's father, Mr. John H. Turner. Here he engaged in teaching,
and supplying pulpits as opportunity offered, still retaining his member-
ship in the Presbyter>' of New Brunswick and attending all its meetings.
In 1894, he married Miss Margaret Turner, of Philadelphia, and with
her lived and served most happily for nearly twenty-eight years. Death

separated them suddenly and sadly on April 28th, 1922, at their home in
Philadelphia, in his 68th year.
Mr. Clark was a quiet Christian gentleman, modest and retiring but
genial and communicative with his near friends. He loved the Word of
God and was intensely loyal to the Presbyterian Church, and was zealous
for the building up of the Kingdom of Christ.
In the last year of his ministry at Dayton, it was his pleasure to cele-
brate the soth anniversary of the church organization. The public serv-
ices arranged and conducted by him, were largely attended and heartily
appreciated, and the Church Manual issued at that time showed its organ-
ization complete and its activities large. Its buildings enlarged, its num-
bers increased, its finances good, its spiritual life healthy, its membership
united, as clearly seen, justified pastor and people in saying "The Lord
hath been mindful of us, He will bless us." So ended two decades of
faithful ministry.
His funeral services were held from his home in Philadelphia and were
conducted by Rev. Peter K. Emmons, Pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Trenton, and one of the sons of the Dayton Church. The
interment was in the Cemetery at Stroudsburg, Pa. He is survived and
mourned by his widow, Mrs. Margaret Turner Clark.
Presbytery of Newton
REV. SAMUEL CARLILE, D.D.,
was born at Middletown Point, N. J., on August 7th, 1833. He prepared
for college at the Mount Washington Collegiate Institute, New York,
and graduated from New York University in 1855, with honor. Taking
up the study of law and completing his course was admitted to the Bar
of New York State in 1859, but forsook the profession and turned to
the ministry. Entering Union Theological Seminary, New York, he
graduated in 1861. He was licensed by the Third Presbytery of New
York and in 1865 was ordained and installed pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church of Brooklyn, E. D. He resigned his charge in 1870, and
went to assume the pastorate of the Walnut Presbyterian Church of
Evansville, Indiana. Returning to New York State he became the
pastor of the Church at Valatie. In 1882 he was called to the East
Side Presbyterian Church of Paterson, N. J., remaining till called to the
First Presbyterian Church, of Newton, N. J. Here he labored for ten
years, when in 1902, he retired from the active ministry and was placed
on the Honor Roll. Residing in Brooklyn, the scene of his early min-
istry, he attended the sessions of the Presbytery of Newton, until the
last. He departed this life March 5th, 1922, in his osvVi year. His
funeral services were held from his residence and he was laid at rest in
Greenwood Cemetery.
Centre College, Danville, Ky., honored him with the degree of Doctor
of Divinity in 1889. He remained unmarried, and at his death was the
46 Necrology. Oct.,
last of his family. He was a good man, an able and faithful minister
and a devoted Presbyter.
REV. ROBERT WHITE,
died on January 9th, 1922, at the Merriam Home, Newton, N. J. He
was born in Belfast, Ireland, and came with his parents, in early life,
to Philadelphia, Pa. His youth and early ministry were in the -Reformed
Presbyterian Church. He was ordained by the Presbytery of that denom-
ination, on January 20th, 1864, and was pastor, for a time, at Cedarville,
Ohio, where he married Miss Mary Kyle, who died some time ago. In
the Presbyterian Church he had charges at Troy, Ohio; Morgantown,
W. Va. ; Bridgeville, Md. ; St. Mary's, Pa. ; Pleasant Unity, Pa., and
Steubenville, Ohio.
He helped to organize the National Reform Association, at a meeting
called for this purpose at Xenia, Ohio, over fifty years ago, and was the
last of the Charter Members.
He was received from the Presbytery of Steubenville into the Presby-
tery of Newton, on September 28th, 1909, when in failing health, and
advanced years, he entered the Merriam Home.
Presbytery of West Jersey
REV. HERBERT H. BEADLE, D.D..
son of Rev. Elias R. Beadle, D.D., LL.D., and Hannah Jones Beadle,
was born September 9, 1839, in Smyrna, Asia Minor, where his father
was then a missionary. Coming to the United States to advance his
education, he entered Yale, and graduated in 1862. He went abroad and
studied for two years at Geneva, under the great church historian, Merle
DvAubigne. Subsequently he attended the College of the Free Church
at Edinburgh, where he was licensed to preach. Returning to this coun-
try, he was received under the care of the Presbytery of West Jersey,
and receiving a call from th Second Presbyterian Church of Bridgeton,
was ordained and installed by them as its pastor, June 26th, 1866. Here
he labored earnestly and successfully for fifty years.
Illness compelled him on July 31st, 1916, to call a congregational
meeting, to unite with him in a request to Presbytery to dissolve the
Pastoral relation. On September i8th, 1916, the Presbytery met in the
Second Church, Bridgeton, and granting the joint request, dissolved the
pastoral relation, made him Pastor Emeritus with compensation, as voted
by his congregation.
At the same meeting, having served Presbytery as Stated Clerk for
forty years, he asked to be relieved from the responsibilities of this office,
which was regretfully granted and in recognition of his long and faithful
service as such, he was unanimously made Clerk Emeritus.
Residing at the home of his cousin, Mrs. Mary A. Chamberlain, at 99
W. Commerce Street, for six years, he entered into rest after a brief
sickness, January 27th, 1922, in the 83rd year of his life. Funeral serv-

Writing, largely as dictated to, by the Presbyteries reporting, I hear
another voice, that of One who when on earth, said, "Let not your

heart be troubled, I go to prepare a place for you"'— now speaking from
Heaven, say, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, from hence-

i<)22. Synodical Home Missions. 49
III.— REPORT OF SYNODICAL HOME MISSION
COMMITTEE.
The thirty-fifth year of the Synod's care of its own Home Mission
work has set a new mark of achievement beyond that of any pre-
vious year. The splendid sum of a hundred and sixty thousand dollars
that has been given by our churches exceeds by about eight thousand
dollars the next largest total of any year, and is over sixty per cent,
larger than the gifts of only three years ago, when we were rejoicing
that we were almost within reach of the one hundred thousand dollar
total. According to the agreement with the Board of Home Missions the
excess over one hundred thousand dollars will go to the Board's
work, and by it New Jersey will again have the satisfaction of being
second only to the Synod of Pennsylvania in the amount of money
given to that Board for use ni its own work. It is deeply gratifying
to note that while the Synod is now raising and expending annually
on its own work more than four times as much as it was the year
before the present plan was adopted in 1913, it is at the same time
giving to the Board half as much again as it was then raising for
that agenc}^ The rate of increase has far exceeded any numerical
increase in our church membership, and is probably not to be accounted
for by any unusual increase in the wealth of our constituency. It is
to be traced rather to the growing fidelity of our people in their own
work and in more sacrificial giving to this work of our church.
The demand for these enlarged gifts has been largely due to the
change of character of our responsibility within our borders. There
are some still present in this Synod who will remember that an objec-
tion was sometimes made to our work on the ground! that most of the
money was spent "among the sand flats and mosquitos of South
Jersey." A glance at the report of the expenditures of the past year
and at the proposed expenditures for the coming year will show that
this is no longer a criticism that could be made. The two presbyteries
covering the whole section, which is about one-half the area of the
State, now receive less than one-sixth of the money, and the other
much larger share is spent in the midst of the thronging populations
in the other section. The former work is not neglected nor is it
secondary in importance. But the change in population and in the
character of the work now done is giving a far larger proportionate
eiiiphasis on the work in the great centers of population.
Nothing in the work of the past year is of greater importance or of
deeper interest than the change in the office of our Superintendent.
For seven years this work had been set forward by Rev. S. J. McClen-
aghan. who had put into it the best that he had of brain and heart and
body. He had made friends for the work and for himself in every
section of our State and had instituted in the pine regions our work
which must ever be a monument to him. For over a year he had
been unable on account of sickness to do more than a part of the
50 Synodical Home Missions. Oct.,
work of his office. Knowing that his own health and the best interest
of the work demanded it, he presented his resignation in January
and the Coniniittee has no choice but to accept it. They have secured
as the new Superintendent, Rev. Jos. Lyons Ewing, who has been
most vigorously engaged in the manifold tasks of the position since
April first. Your Committee believe him to be just the man for the
work and our "past experience of his labors" has given us good
reason to expect great things from him. His own report to Synod
will show a good account of his ability and his fidelity, but the Com-
mittee have more intimate knowledge of his activities than any report
could show, and are very cordially recommending him to the Synod.
Mr. Ewing is ready to respond to every call for conference or assist-
ance, and it is hoped that the pastors and churches will give him
opportunity to present the claims and the achievements of Synodical
Home Missions whenever possible.
There have been two changes in the membership of your Commit-
tee during the year. The sudden death of Rev. Dr. John T. Kerr took
from the service of this Synod one of the clearest minds and kindest
hearts that ever rendered willing and effective service to the cause of
the Kingdom. In passing, every member realized that he had lost
a^true friend, a wise councillor, and a faithful fellow-laborer. Dr.
Kerr had formerly been the valued chairman of the Committee and
when failing strength compelled him to resign that office, he was
persuaded to continue service as a member. The Corrmiittee and the
Synod are fortunate in having secured as Dr. Kerr's successor, Rev.
Dr. Eben B. Cobb, also a former chairman, whose knowledge of and
love for this work make him of highest value in the service. Rev.
Dr. Rockwell S. Brank, of the Presbytery of Morris and Orange, after
splendid service to the cause of Home Missions, was compelled by
special local responsibilities to give up his place as Chairman of the
Committee in his presbytery. He is succeeded by the Rev. Ralph
Davy, who comes to the Synod's Committee with a large experience
in the work as a member of his presbyterial committee.
No report of Home Missions at this time would be complete without
reference to the greatly changed situation in which all of the Boards
of the Church find themselves in connection with the pending con-
solidation. The Assembly has ordered all of the Boards to continue to
function independently until the end of the fiscal year, and it is expected
that the next meeting of the Assembly will be prepared to recommend
some definite method of procedure by which the gifts of the church
as well as the administration of the various branches o^f the work
will be adjusted so that each part will be properly cared for. It
would seem unwise for any Synod to act in the matter bofore some
suggested program had been prepared by the Church's highest court.
Nevertheless, we must recognize that so radical a reorganization is
sure to be attended by great difficulties of adjustment and we must
be willing to give fair trial to proposed methods. It is not likely that a
perfect adjustment will be found at once, and changes will almost cer-
ig22. Synodical Home Missions. 51
tainly be necessary, but we may be confident that our Church's work is
not going to be hindered seriously by any temporary misfits or unavoid-
able mistakes. The work will go on in every department very much
as it has gone on, and the advantages of greater unification will become
evident little by little rather than all at once. But there is one point
on which this Synod should spend some careful thought. There will
necessarily come, probably by the next meeting of this body, the neces-
sity of following in some degree at least, the plan of combination
which the Assembly finally adopts. We are none of us ready to sug-
gest at this time just how this is to be accomplished, but we would
call upon all who are particularly charged with the special considera-
tion of the work of the agencies which are to be allied with the Home
Board to give careful thought to this matter with a view to a proper
action when the time comes.
We further believe that there is great need to preserve to the very
largest degree that principle of freedom of action and that sense of
direct responsibility for Home Mission work within our own borders
which has, for many years been so fruitful of results in our Self-
Supporting Synods. Any consolidation or unification into great central-
ized agencies that took away from the people of any particular unit
(Synod or Presbytery) the consciousness of their own contact in a
determinating fashion with their own immediate problems and respon-
sibilities would be unfortunate in the extreme. It is to be hoped that
more rather than less sense of individual responsibility can be laid
upon each individual church, as well as on the presbytery, for under-
taking and pushing vigorously every local bit of work which ought
to be done, and for providing both the funds and the leadership for
such activities. That great principle ofi fixing responsibility locally
and of encouraging individual initiative is quite as valuable as the
principle of unification or consolidation, and has been productive of
very good and very great results in our own and in every other of the
leading synods of our church. Neither principle should be entirely
sacrificed for the other.
A matter of supreme importance to the future success of Home
Missions in the nation at large is the payment of the debt flow resting
on the Board. This ought to be accomplished in full without delay.
The Board ought not be handicapped by going into the new organiza-
tion with a weight tied to it. The co-operation of the churches of this
Synod with the special efiforts of the Board to raise this money should
be whole-hearted and generous. Offerings for this purpose are to be
sought primarily through individuals who will make a larger or
smaller additional contribution for this specific purpose without in
any way reducing the regular gifts of any church for the current
work. These gifts are to be excluded from any division with our
State work as they ought to be so that the full one hundred per cent,
goes straight to the payment of the debt. But there should be a clear
understanding on the part of everyone that such gifts are "extras"
and not a diversion of the regular Home Mission funds of the
52 Synodical Home Missions. Oct.,
Church Or the individual. It is evident that to rob the "Peter" of our
necessary and estabHshed work in order to pay the "Paul" of a pressing
debt, would not benefit anyone but would simply pile up a new debt
for later appeals. All churches are urged to make use of the month of
November, for clear and ringing appeals for the support of the great
cause in all its outlook both in State and Nation. The Board is
offering to provide special speakers to serve the churches in presenta-
tion of this matter during the closing three months of the calendar
year, and all are urged to make use of this offer as fully as possible,
and to make their arrangements for speakers directly with the Board's
office in New York.
The Committee is recommending to Synod this year the setting aside
of the sum of ten thousand dollars for the purpose of securing perma-
nent property equipment at some stragetic point for church develop-
ment, and to continue this amount annually, if possible, where the
opportunity appears. This is in no way an encroachment on the field
of the Board of Church Erection. But there are many places where the
application of the rules of that Board as to percentage of grant or
loan and as to requirement for repayment, make it impossible for the
Board to grant or for the church to accept aid. If a moderate sum
may be made available annuall}' for appropriation under more liberal
terms and in adequate amount to new projects at most stragetic
points, it will be possible to initiate projects that are now not possible.
In the course of a few years by this method we would have secured
and fairly equipped a number of centers which will remain perma-
nent sources of Christian effort and will make possible an expansion
of the church which is now beyond our ability. This fund now
proposed will not of course be available for this year as it is depend-
ent on the amount that will be raised in the coming year. But we
must begin now if we are ever to secure this money and make possible
the actual appropriation of it in the year next after this one. There
are at the present hour within our Synod in several presbyteries, loca-
tions where tlie immediate application of the sum of $10,000 would
insure the establishment of a church that would within a very short
time be self-supporting and contribute to the resources of the Church
at large as well as to the development of the Kingdom. Our hands are
tied in the presence of these opportunities unless some such fund is
provided.
A large part of our money and most of our thought and care are
expended on the work among our "Detached People" as Dr. Lusk
calls them. This is necessary and right and in the future we must
spend more rather than less upon them. Many of the most threatening
problems of both Church and State center among them and it would
be folly as well as wickedness to ignore or to neglect them. This
kind of work will always have a romantic appeal because of the fact
that we are not as well acquainted with these people and their very
strangeness and difference from us arouse our attention. But it is
increasingly evident to us all that there is a most important field of
ig32. Synodical Home Missions. 53
service among our own native-born people that we must more earn-
estly cultivate. There are many new communities being established
in our State where development is very rapid. These villages need
religious opportunity from the beginning, and other denominations
are not neglecting them. If the Presbyterian Church is to maintain
its relative share of the obligation for Christian service in this State,
it must be on the alert to spy out and possess this part of the "land"
which God has given us. We must go forward in numbers of these
places or we shall go backward in our relative position of influence
and service in New Jersey. Not to advance is actually to retreat. We
do not believe that the good Presbyterians of our commonwealth will
consent to any backward movement and we therefore pledge to each
presbytery within our bounds our very best support in all efforts looking
to the increase of this work of Church Extension that is second to none
in the Home Mission obligation anywhere in the whole country.
We would call the attention of all of our pastors and sessiotis to the
fact that the responsibility for missionary initiative and support is
often resting on a local congregation rather than on a Board or Agency.
Some of our larger churches have been for a long while maintaining
their own branches or missions in their own or near-by communities
in addition to carrying the work of their own church. This is as it
should be. No better "Home Mission" work is done than that,
although no "credit" is ever given on the books of a Board's treas-
urer for money thus expended. This method should be more largely
employed even by some churches which are not strong enough to carry
the fiiiancial obligation involved in such extension and would have to
secure assistance from Synod's funds. I^cal pastors and the sessions
of the churches ought to be agents for church enlargement in their own
"sphere of influence" by organizing Sunday Schools, providing at
first occasional preaching services, securing the location for buildings
and in every way laying foundations for future churches. While we
definitely deprecate the unnecessary multiplication of churches which
would cause "over-lapping" or denominational controversy, we believe
in the Presbyterian Church and we believe that if it has any reason
to continue to exist at all, it has a reason for enlargement and that
there is nothing so potent in this plan for enlargement as the interest
and active effort of the existing churches already strategically located
all over our State. The whole Presbyterian Church in New Jersey is
a Home Mission Agency and should be functioning as such in this
work of expansion. The church ought not to look to a Board or a
Committee in the face of these opportunities and say, "Let George do
it." Each load parish should have its own vision of the possibility
of its own section and should be doing its own full part in this work.
Thus, and thus only, can our beloved Church adequately fulfill its
great mission to which God is calling it in this day of special oppor-
tunity. To such a co-operation we summon every pastor and session
without reducing by an iota that splendid co-operation that has been
manifested in all the past years by constantly increasing gifts of
54 Synodical Home Missions. Oct.,
money. The money is necessary and the loyalty represented by it is
magnificent. We would only add to it at that "second mile" of personal
cflfort in local situations.

70 Superintendent, Synodical Home Missions. Oct.,
v.— REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF
SYNODICAL HOME MISSIONS.
Only six months of service, yet an Annual Report. New and inex-
perienced, but a work of limitless reaches which, to survey and sum-
marize, needs the vision and constructive genius of a trained expert.
The writer confesses to some embarrassment, as with these and other
handicaps, he brings the first account of his stewardship to the Synod
of New Jersey. After due consideration, the writer accepted the call
of your Home Missions Committee, and officially began to serve the
Synod on April first of this year.
Twelve of the best of my years had already been given to New
Jersey in two pastorates, and after an intervening absence of some
years from the State, I find myself back in the midst of friends and
have eagerly taken hold at a point where I find you, the Synod, in the
midst of a tremendous Home Mission task. I would have scarcely
been honest with myself or fair to the Synod in coming to this position,
had I not long ago become an enthusiast for the New Jersey Synod's
Plan of Home Missions, and watched the plan's triumphant outwork-
ing and even pace-making for the other Synods of the Church.
Moreover, the events of recent years in Home Missions, have made
a task like this Synod is carrying forward, a veritable fascination, and
I am quite ready at this annual meeting to confess to having given
myself with an ever increasing enthusiasm to the work in these past
six months. Not only has the character of the work and the greatness
of the undertaking enthused me, but I am overwhelmed as I think of
the leadership the work has had for lo, these many years. I shall never
forget the inspirational periods, even long before Synod's plan had
approached its present perfection, when Synodical Home Missions had
its great half day or more at the annual meetings. I recall how the work
advanced to a new level when the now sainted Rev. Samuel AIcLana-
han became the first official superintendent of the work in the Synod.
Later came the Rev. Samuel J. McClenaghan to the office, and after
some seven years his great, giant strength and seemingly iron constitu-
tion fell before disease which compelled him, some months ago to
lay down the burden of the office. As I go from church to church and
from mission to mission and catch the word- from everywhere and
see the monuments left by this great leader, in the steadily rising tide
of Home Missions through his period of service, and reflect. I find
myself asking. "Who am I that I should be claimed and commissioned
to accept such a responsibility?"
My time of service since April first has covered in good part what is
acknowledged to be the "lean" part of the year in Home Mission enter-
prise. Nothing dull about the season, however, in point of invitations
and open doors for service in what I conceive to be my field. I have
occupied pulpits on practically every Sunday morning and evening in
different parts of the Synod. Many more invitations have come than
ig23. Superintendent, Synodical Home Missions. 71
I could possibly accept and I have a steadily increasing number of
datings ahead now. I have given much time to visitation among our
Aid Receiving churches and missions, and have found the pastors and
workers in these fields most cordial and full of suggestions, as well as
always ready to respond to the natural appeal to lead their people
as rapidly as possible and practicable toward the goal of self-support.
I have thus covered about half of our Aid Receiving points in the six
months, being present for Lord's Day addresses and sermons in about
thirty of these. I have held innumerable conferences with committees
and church officers, and have done much survey work in sections of
the Synod where the outlook seems favorable for the planting of
new work, or where new activity seems necessary to sustain and pro-
mote work already established.
The Year's Conferences.
The Magyar Ministers and other zuorkers held an important two days'
fellowship for counsel and inspiration at Bloomfield, the last week in
April. About forty Magyar ministers and other workers were present.
These, with two representatives of the Synod and three or four invited
guests from the Boards of the Church and a number of local people
constituted the Conference. There was much helpful discussion and
numerous addresses were made following a carefully prepared program.
There were many encouragements from the field, touching the religious
life of the Hungarian church. The reports gave special encouragement in
the matter of the move of the churches of this nationality toward self-
support.
A conference of Italian workers was held at Auburn, June ist and
2nd, where Synod's Committee was represented. Some fifty Italians,
with a number of Home Mission and church extension representatives
were present. The Conference was inspirational in character and
designed to quicken and deepen the better life of the Italian church.
Practical topics like "The Spiritual Life of the Church," and "Church
Finances" were helpfully and vigorously discussed. One discordant
note in the Conference was the acknowledged failure on the part of
most of the Italian churches to "emphasize and thus secure self-support"
as definitely "resolved," at the Princeton Italian Conference of 1918.
Conference of Representatives of Self-Supporting Synods. This Con-
ference was held at Columbus, Ohio, September 26-28, in connection
with the budget shaping meeting of representatives of the several
Synods. The outstanding feature of the Conference was the two
day discussion of plans of Home Mission operation as this may be
furthered under the Board of National Missions created by the last
General Assembly. The findings of the Conference took the form of
suggestions to the Committee of the Assembly, charged with putting
the new Board Consolidation plan into operation. No action was taken
or could be taken beyond a mere advisory character, or that could
destroy the independence of Synod to direct the disbursement of the
funds raised bv its churches.

Elhabeth. Tt embraces in a peculiar way practically all the types
of work covered by any Presbytery in the Synod. The city, suburban
and rural problems are all here to solve, and is there a centre in the
Synod where greater complications arise touching the peoples of
foreign speech? This Presbytery has undertaken work, by specialists
in their several fields, among Ruthenians, Russians, Syrians, Hungarians,
Italians, and has an encouraging work going among the colored folk
of the City of Elizabeth. This latter work which heads up in the Siloam
church is meeting with unusual success, due largely to its present
consecrated and tactful leader. It is as yet slow moving in the matter
of physical growth, but it is bearing a most abundant harvest in the
way of Christianizing the social and civic energies of its neighborhood.
Its men's Civic Club of forty-six members, its well ordered Play
Ground, its Employment Ofifice and Day Nursery — all in addition to the
flourishing Sunday School, the Endeavor Society, the Missionary Soci-
ety and other things usual in a well regulated church, may suggest
lines of activity for other congested centres of Sj'nod where we are
not yet overtaking our tasks. Special mention may also be made of
the Italian work in Plainfield. A really forward step has been taken
there ' Obliged to worship these several years in small, uncomfortable
quarters, steps have been taken to relieve the situation, by the purchase
of a well located, well appointed and commodious church building.
The cost of the structure, secured from a Baptist congregation which
removes to build elsewhere, is $18,000. Through the cordial support
of the Presbyterian folk of Plainfield, and proper legal action by the
Trustees of Presbytery the purchase is now being consummated. The
Magyar church of Elizabeth which for a year or more has been in
deep waters financially is on a fair way to better things. A new
minister has been secured and the scattered congregation has been
called together and a splendid program of work is now on in a very
needy section.
Jersey City. In point of diversity of population and difficulty of
attack, Jersey City can scarcely be surpassed as a Home Mission field.
The foreign work is an outstanding need, and a feature of our work.
The long looked for and much talked of physical equipment for the
Italian mission in Jersey City is actually coming into shape. A new-
building costing $8,000 in the centre of the Italian quarter is about to
be dedicated. The funds have been provided jointly by the Board of
Church Erection, the Funds of Synod and the Italians themselves.
Our Slovak work in Jersey City is also in a flourishing condition.
Under the leadership of a minister with vision and consecration, the
church there is moving rapidly toward self-support. Says our report,
"The splendid pastor. Rev. Joseph Simko is planning to pay oflF the
entire debt to the Board of Church Erection in four years instead of
eight, and at the end of four years in addition to bring his people to
practical self-support. * * * We can commend him most heartily
ig22. Superintendent, Synodical Home Missions. 73
and at the same cime hold him and his people up as an example to
other people of foreign tongue who hesitate to make the effort to
self-support, or being equally able, believe rather, that as long as
Presbytery is wiUing, it should carry the burden of expense." A
splendid work, too, is on among the Ukranians in Passaic where a
consecrated leader is "demonstrating that it is possible with a people
who are irreligious or skeptics to lead them to Christian worship and
life by living and teaching the ideals of Americanism." In Paterson,
the Italian work is flourishing, as also the colored work there under
the Synod's Committee.
Monmouth. This Presbytery covers a large territory, has many sea-
shore towns and much sparsely settled country, with the trying prob-
lem of isolation and perhaps a larger number of rural and small village
churches than any other in the Synod. The aid receiving churches have
been well grouped and supplied with a regular ministry. The $r,5oo mini-
mum salary has been reached in all but a very few instances. Several
of tlie churches have placed substantial improvements upon their
properties. The Italian work at Asbury Park is suffering from the
lack of a suitable place of worship. A quiet, substantial work is being
carried on by a faithful committee under whose direction Miss Con-
tessa is filling a position of fine leadership, going from house to
house and gathering the people together for meetings on the Sabbath.
The church for Colored people, which has seemed to languish in
Asbury Park of late, gives promise of new activity. An effort is being
just now made to secure a property which will serve as an adequate
centre of activities. At New Gretna a splendid work is being done by
our missionary. A difficulty in transportation plans, to reach certain
outlying sections by the minister, has been remedied and a very needy
field will now be cared for. Failure to continue a satisfactory arrange-
ment with the public school authorities of Chatsworth to have a
minister there employed as teacher in the schools, leaves us without a
leader in the field for this year. Moreover the purchase of a parson-
age and the establishing of a resident minister there, where there is an
adequate building owned and now being put in condition by another
branch of the Church, would seem to justify our withdrawal from the
field. The work at "Johnson Place" and "Retreat" goes on gloriously.
Mrs. Mary Davis who was first in the work among the exceptional
people of that section and was, with her work, "discovered" and
permanently employed by Synod's Committee and asked to continue
work there, is in company with her niece, Mrs. Maud Baker, still true
to the name given her b}^ some one a while ago, "The Angel of the
Pines." To describe the ministrations of these two consecrated women
for a year, would require a volume. Their chief work centres at the
two above-named places, where services on Sunday and mid-week
are regularly held. Rev. Frank R. Symmes of Freehold visits these
points twice each month with his most helpful ministry in preaching
service. Indicative of the permanency of the work, largely through the
tact "and devotion of Mrs. Davis, a school building with an acre of
74 Superintendent, Synodical Home Missions. Oct.,
ground surrounding, has been purchased at Retreat and is now a
real church edifice, with a piano and chairs and a bell to "ring" the
people to worship. At Johnson Place^ it has been found inexpedient to
care for the people who crowd the living rooms of the cottage, as the
only available place to hold meetings, now that the neighboring school
house has been burned and will not be rebuilt, and a neat frame chapel
is being erected on the lot adjoining the cottage this autumn. Special
meetings are being arranged for shortly and it is believed that the
careful seed sowing of these years will issue in a splendid harvest
gathering. The work at these two points is officially under the care
of the session of the Church at Beverly.
Morris and Orange. A teeming population of the best of city people,
hosts of whom are living in towns which they have formed by the
very flight from the congested centres of the strictly metropolitan areas,
and who have thus created community centres and cities where are
many of our strongest and best equipped churches. From these
organizations comes much of the support of Home Mission work in
other sections of the Synod. There is a fine up-looking now of the
Magyar work at Wharton. A tried and well-balanced leader is the
secret of the victory there. Committees ought to exercise the utmost
care at this point of our work. Kenvil, the once war work town
seemed for a time to lag and as if it could not be maintained on the
upward line, but there is now a fine coming back, and the mission there
is forging ahead under able leadership. Rudd Lake bids fair to be
the centre of a substantial Presbyterian work shortly, and Cedar Knolls
is a coming choice commuters town. The only wait now is for tempo-
rary financial aid and adequate leadership. Effort is ever on in Morris
and Orange to effect combinations that will reduce the number of men
necessary to serve in the aid receiving fields. Efforts in this direction
are not always successful, but there are interesting signs of promise.
Nczvark. This Presbytery has our largest city. Largest in foreign
population, with probably more unsolved city church problems than any
other in the Synod, a challenge to all that is strong and virile in the
Church of our Lord. This great city has certain goodly environs where
are some of the strongest churches of the denomination. Newark is
not falsely named when we call it a Presbyterian city. Anyway, the
battle with all evil has been drawn and the Church is not going to
fail. The signs of prom.ise are man3^ Here are a few of them. A
new Deaconesses Home' has just been established in the Roseville
section, erected and equipped at a cost of $13,500. The East Side
Italian Church is the best equipped of any Italian Protestant church
in the State. The Church of Our Savior, has just come into new
quarters secured by a large sum of money expended upon alterations
and improvements, and is in most successful operation, touching thou-
sands of lives religiously and socially. It conducts a clinic for children
every week and is doing a work second to no other in the city. The
Ukranian church moves successfully on, its services attended by large
numbers of people. A worth-while minister is the acknowledged secret
^
ig22. Superintendent, Synodical Home Missions. 75
of success attending the Hungarian church of Newark. This church
until the new minister came had been passing through deep waters. Is
it too much to say that the minister in charge is nine-tenths of the
success or failure of any church! The contributions of the churches
have been the largest in history. In this "off" year, what an inspiration !
But Newark's need — the common one — is more money for equipment.
It ought to have a hundred thousand dollars now, just for normal
advance work.
New Brunswick. Great variety in the^ character of the work in this
Presbytery, but things are moving. To mention a few high points:
Pilgrim Church, in a fast developing section of Trenton, is well on
the way in its local pledgings of $15,000 for a new structure and gives
good promise of operating on its new location within a year. Christ
Church, in a healthy city suburb, is erecting a new Sunday School
building and will shortly complete a $20,000 edifice suitable for all
purposes of worship and service. Eldridge Park Mission, for a num-
ber of years worshiping in the school building, has completed and
will in a few days dedicate the first unit of a splendid $6,500 building.
Union Chapel Community House in Trenton is making fine progress
as a social and constructive educational centre, and, under special
leadership, is doing a very unusual work of uplift in an otherwise neg-
lected field. It ministers through week days and Sunday to a host of
young people of fifteen or more nationalities and of almost as many
religious faiths and is a great uplift to a large community. Our
Italian churches at Trenton and the branch work at Princeton, are
moving steadily on. The Mount Carmel work which has been ham-
pered greatly by inadequate accommodations, is now in a fair way to
go forward with its new building enterprise and to have a reasonable
shelter provided before mid-winter. Our New Brunswick Italians are
temporarily without a minister, but are making good progress under
local lay leadership. The Magyar work at New Brunswick has come
well out of the storm clouds that once were darkening there and is
making splendid progress. Among the six or more church agencies
ministering to the Magyars of that city, our work cared for there so
efficiently by Mr. and Mrs. Laky is easily in the lead.
Nezvton. In Newton the $1,500 salary goal, in most sections of the
church, has not been reached. In many instances, the $1,200 goal is
yet unreached. The work is thereby handicapped. However, there
is a. steady upward trend noticable in this particular. A fine advance
in Home Mission contributions has been made during the past year.
One of the Synod's first and continuedly one of the best of our Hun-
garian developments is at Alpha in this Presbytery. At Ogdensburg,
which is fast becoming an important centre of the zinc industry of
America, our nearest church organization at Sparta is ministering
steadily and the outlook for a substantial independent work there is
good. Delaware Park on the outskirts of Phillipsburg, where regular
chapel services have long been maintained is looking forward to organi-
zation and the settling of its own minister shortly.
76 Superintendent, Synodical Home Missions. Oct.
West Jersey. Industrial reaction has made notable changes in our
work, particularly along the Delaware, since the war. Thousands of
munition workers who were employed between Camden and Carney's
Point have gone, and our service in this section is materially changed.
Out of our great centre at Carney's Point where as many as 17,000
workers were engaged at the height of the war, has come a substantial
organization ministering adequately and with wise leadership to the
several hundreds of people who are employed by the DuPonts in
powder making. Our Italiari minister at Vineland has added Ham-
monton to his field and his ministry is steadily bringing the mission
there back toward its strength of other days when a host of Protestant
Italians were there, but whose migration elsewhere caused a serious
lapse in the work. The work among Colored people in Atlantic City
is going forward most encouragingly. The Presbyterial Committee
is most active in its survey and study of certain rapidly growing sec-
tions in and around the City of Camden with a view to planting churches
where needed in new locations. In one strategic centre a site has been
secured and there is every prospect of an early development in order to
meet the spiritual needs of the community. The rural and village
churches are well grouped and regularly supplied with preaching.
Woodland Avenue Church, in Camden, is making substantial growth
and is just now in the midst of a new building enterprise made neces-
sarj- by the increasing congregations. A large enterprise near Bridge-
ton, known as "Seabrook Farms," which employs hundreds of people
on its 3^800 acres of orchards and gardens, is being studied by the
Committee, and our co-operation has been invited in a plan that will
bring adequate spiritual ministry to the hosts of workers and their
families there.
Daily Vacation Bible Schools.
These schools afford one of the very best methods of Bible instruc-
tion and social service. It was Synod's great year in this department
of work. Most of our schools were among the children of the foreign-
born. One or two schools for the Colored folk were held. Wherever
the work was undertaken with high purpose and manned and
"woTiianed" by those naturally and officially responsible, it was suc-
cessful. Roth of our Italian churches in Trenton had successful
schools. The Union Chapel school in Trenton was notable in that it
enrolled 247 pupils, comprising fifteen distinct nationalities. The great
majority came from Roman Catholic and Hebrew families. The
average attendance was 148. The entire enrollment the year before
was ninety-seven. This school placed the greatest emphasis on memor-
izing Scripture and the fine hymns of the Church ; on teaching the
children to pray and to testify for Christ. The corps of instructors
held a fifteen minute prayer meeting before every school session. The
Hungarian school in New Brunswick held its sixth session this year. The
advance in attendance by years has been as follows: 24, 48, 72, 96, 117,
■n
ig22. Superintendent, Synodical Home Missions. T]
with this year i86 and the remarkable average attendance of 167. This
school was most unusual in that it held two daily sessions, beginning
at 8.30 A. M. and closing at 5 P. M. In order to accommodate the
hundreds who were drawn to the closing exercise, two distinct services
were necessary. The work of this school was along Scriptural lines and
of a very high order. Perhaps the most successful school in the
Synod, ministering chiefly to children of American antecedents, was
that of Woodland Avenue Church in Camden. In our report we make
no attempt to name all the schools of the Synod.
Our Work Among Foreigners.
We have talked and prayed much with respect to our foreign work
and into it we have put a large part of our Home Mission money.
It must be acknowledged, however, that the evangelization of these
foreign birth and in many cases foreign spirited folk, is a task
at which a mere beginning has been made. For a while, there was
a glow and a 'romance about the work that held attention. But as the
years have passed, interest has lagged a good deal. Perhaps we have
not undertaken the task in the right way. It may be that our methods
have not been the best. Question has been raised as to whether the
hurrying of a foreign-speaking preacher or teacher down among the
children of our foreign settlements, is the best or the quickest way to
evangelize these people and make them a constructive element in our
American life. What about the logic of a situation that places these
children in our splendid public schools, to learn our language, our
history and our ideals, five days of the week, and then segregate them
on Sunday in a mission where the things of real life are brought to them
in the speech of another country? Perhaps it is a sharp way of putting
it, when we say that we have too long been playing at the task of
Christianizing the foreign-born or his offspring. Perhaps we have not
counted the cost sufficiently when we have undertaken some of our
enterprises to reach the foreign-speaking people. It may not be a fair
statement of the case to lay the blame at the door of the foreigner if he
does not come forth transformed after we have labored with him for
a few weeks or even years. The Synod of New Jersey has gone at
this part of its work with great zeal and splendid results have fol-
lowed. Who indeed would presume to estimate the outcome in lives
reached and Americanized and made over by our ministry in this field?
However, in the appraisement of our work we ought not to forget that
there are fields we have entered and in which we have carried on
extensive labors, but from which apparently no harvest has come.
In Elizabeth, Camden, Long Branch, Beverly and several other
places we started work among certain of the foreign peoples, support-
ing it at considerable expense. But after a time our work at these
points closed. Not so long ago we had Italian specialists representing
us in twenty-five distinct communities. But our records at this date
show that the work has been abandoned at no less than tCB of these
78 Superintendent, Synodical Home Missions. Oct.,
points. If sometimes we start work without counting the cost and it
has to be given up before the seed planted has time to take root, entail-
ing a great waste of money and other forms of energy, we ought
to learn the lesson. Or, if experience and history show that one well
equipped and adequately supported mission maintained for a period of
years, accornplished more than the same amount of energy scattered in
a dozen directions at one time could do, our duty is plain enough.
It must be our study to give the foreign peoples the fullest and the
fairest chance possible at the liberty which makes free. What are the
foreign-speaking people in the neighborhood of our churches finding in
us to feed the flame of their hope? We have these foreign-borns and
their children to reach, not as so much labor to be exploited, but rather
as so much humanity to be Gospel transformed and trained to serve
along with ourselves in the make-up of our real American life. There
is a fellowship we have got to form — a fellowship in Christ, with these
foreign-borns, that we are making too little of. It is our conspicuous
failure, one of the tragedies of the present hour that we Christian
people are leaving, yes, in some respects compelling these strangers
in our midst, to live detached lives. It is time we were arriving at
the point of ofifering more than a segregated religious life and service
to the foreigner and his family. Those churches whose Bible School
doors and pews are open graciously and in the spirit of Christ, to the
foreign-born and his children are doing infinitely more to solve this
long perplexing problem than those fellowships which shrink before
the sight and loath the touch of this new life amongst us. And no sum
of money the church may pay out to salary the consecrated foreigner to
go down and do Christian work for the foreign-born and his family
in his mission chapel, can compensate for the lack of the Christ spirit
at the centre of the Church's life. The Home Mission problem, as it
touches the foreigner will never be solved until we people of the Ameri-
can church become sufficiently Christlike to receive into its fellowship
these new American Christians. Some churches are now learning to
practice this fine Christian spirit, and though there are many foreign-
ers around them, they do not think of asking them to go the round-about
way of the mission for their evangelization. The doors of these
churches are open and there is a gracious heart and hand of welcome
for all. May the number of such churches fast increase.
Suburban Conditions.
The building depression which ran through and followed the war
has well passed and a revival of home construction is now on. This
with a strong drift of home seekers toward the open country is
creating a new era in suburban life. Moreover, the new highway
program of the entire country with the motor car developments of
the last decade, keep hurrying the people away from the busy centres
toward the open. It is reported that 18,000 houses are being built
on Long Island this year. In Ocean City 1,200 houses have risen from
ig22. Superintendent, Synodical Home Missions. 79
the sand since last January. Other seashore cities have building pro-
grams on that are almost as extensive. Around the edges of Jersey
City, on the hills overlooking the Hudson and the Passaic, all about
Newark, Elizabeth, Camden and Trenton, and in towns within a score
of miles of these centres, hundreds and hundreds of new homes are
going up this very year. The great bridge which is soon to connect Phila-
delphia with New Jersey is destined to do wonders in the way of enlarg-
ing Synod's city and suburban population. This bridge enterprise
alone is sure to create conditions which should mean several new
fields occupied by the Presbyterian church within a very few years.
Moreover, the cities and larger towns, joined by the new highways
are fast being built together, as home seekers locate along the way.
Take any road from Trenton or New Brunswick or Camden or out
of any of the up State cities, and wherever the highway leads, there
go the home builders. And the houses erected are all quickly occupied.
This means many new community centres for many thousands of
people, and the church should be on hand to meet them. Otherwise
the Kingdom must suffer violence. Where there is no vision the people
perish. Need along this line just now is most pressing, and the Synod
of New Jersey should carefully note these new conditions. In the field
of church founding we have been very conservative. We have not
exhibited much passion for propaganda in this line of Kingdom effort.
It is so ea-sy to follow the line of least resistance, waiting oftimes
until others less competent than we have gone ahead and pre-empted
ground we ought to be holding. With this great rush to the coointry
and suburbs now on, and every Presbyterial Committee a Church
Extension agency and the Synodical Superintendent acting as a kind
of outlook committee in this field, there ought to be some new ground
occupied by our church shortly. The writer suffered some surprise
recently when he culled from the official records that in 1917 we
organized one church. The next year we organized eight and dis-
solved one. The next year, organized six and dissolved one, the next
year organized four and dissolved one. In 1921 our record was,
organized three and dissolved one, and the record of the year which
closed with April first, 1922, was, organized two, dissolved two !
Behold to what depths we have fallen in this field of new organiza-
tions, brethren ! Everj- member of Synod knows of one or perhaps a
half dozen churches on our rolls with but a name to live. Before any
more of these fading remnants disappear, let us act and persuade
some new group somewhere to take its place upon our rolls.
The Country Church.
It is always with us. For its life and saving ministry we thank
God. Somehow the truth seems first to catch men away in the rural
sections. If there seems a backwardness about the country church;
if methods change there slowly; if a kind of retrogression ever
threatens there, it is nevertheless a fact that more of the strong men
80 SUPKRINTENDENT, SyNODICAL HoME MISSIONS. Oct.,
of the church are reared in the country parish than in any other one
section of the church. Judged by its fruitage in lifting men into posi-
tions of leadership, it would seem that the rural church is still pre-
eminent. It may be small. So often it is — and becoming smaller and
on its human side weaker, but sustain it for its community service
and as a supply station for leaders in other fields, in cities and other
towns. This is a kind of service the Synod of New Jersey warmly
believes in. And to the work of maintaining the standard of a regular
ministry in all our country and village churches. Synod's Committee
is most willing to dedicate a generous portion of the funds it is given
to administer.
By Way of Suggestion.
There ought to be a careful accounting of all our work. If any
church or mission is successful in point of decisions for Christ, in the
way of Christian life manifestations in the community, or in gifts con-
tributed toward self-support and to the larger work of the Kingdom,
those successes ought to be reported. The people who provide the
money entrusted for Home Mission spending have a right to expect and
to be shown the outcome of their sacrifice. It is surely a breach of
propriety to have churches and missions on our lists which give no
concern to reporting their activities. A case in point: A church is
aided to the extent of several hundred dollars a year. Its Presbyterial
Committee secures it a iTew building at a cost of $18,000, but it makes
not the slightest showing to the Presbytery or Synod, of any con-
structive work done from year to year. Another church is aided to
the extent of $1,000 per year. Without doubt this organization raised
and expended several hundred dollars during the year, but it reports
contributions of but ten dollars as its annual amount for all purposes.
These instances are but types. The derelicts in this field are far too
many. May their number be reduced for the next annual reporting !
A special study of churches and missions should be made from the
standpoint of their productiveness. It ought to be Synod's careful con-
cern to have the money it handles disbursed where its yield in Christ-
ian life will be the largest. For this there must be great discrimina-
tion. There are places in which, for economy's sake, people of
many kinds and classes are huddled in congested quarters, and
where the church must provide a religious and social ministry, even
though there be little prospect of establishing a regular congregation
or even the conventional Sunday School as permanent organizations.
Out of ministries of this kind there doubtless come harvests of great
good, certainly the salvation of some immortal souls. But when we
render this kind of service, as in some instances we clearly must, it
must not be allowed to draw from the support of the organized work
of the Church, or keep us from our utmost effort to effect new organi-
zations which themselves in time may become sources of supply and
ministry to others. Let the different kinds of work be carefully consid-
ered, holding to this as a principle, that agencies, which over a period
1

of years are found to be non-productive in tangible Christian life,
ought not to be supported by missionary money, if by so doing the real
upbuilding work of the Kingdom is thereby interfered with. Over a
period of years, the Presbytery of Pittsburgh spent many thousands
of dollars in connection with the Water Street Mission, a centre of
rescue for drunkards and outcasts. Recently the Mission has been
turned over to others, and the money it cost to carry it on turned
into regular Presbyterian channels of supporting weak and organizing
new churches. This, in the belief that Kingdom building is sure to
move more steadily and faster by way of the organized church.
Moreover, care should be exercised against an undue scattering of our
energies. With a limited amount of money, and but a few workers
obtainable, it would be well to study the art of concentration rather more
than we sometimes have done. One equipped and well manned
mission or church will yield more of a harvest than ever so many
scratchings of the surface here and there. If Synod will direct its
Committee to use say, $10,000 in one carefully selected place, the out-
come of the investment will in ten years be a monument to our Home
Mission administration to which every; one will point with pride.
Finally — a Scripturally drawn, wisely applied plan to bring our aid
receiving churches up toward self-support is a service greatly needed.
In certain cases, a closer grouping of churches under one pastorate
will help greatly. This may not be easy to do. But if it is right and
reasonable, even a blue stocking Presbyterian can stand for it and he
will yield in time. Here is a small group of elders in an aid receiving
church. They insist on an evening service for their pastor. Neither
they nor their families nor others save a very few care to attend.
They are thus keeping the pastor from ministering on Sunday even-
ings to a very needy community near by. The near by group is appeal-
ing to Presbytery for aid. The elders in the case are hindering the
progress of the Kingdom.
In other cases, the Americanization — not to say Christianizing of the
purses of some of our friends is needed. It is not American-
democratic, for one type of Americans to pay the church expenses
of another type. Here is a foreign-speaking group long settled in a
community. They are industrious, frugal, have built themselves com-
fortable homes. They have incomes equal to the average people of their
neighborhood. They go to church. So do their children. They have all
the benefits of a fine Christian fellowship, but on they live year in
and year out, insisting that their responsibility for the support of the
church and ministry is negligible. Once this situation is changed, and
wisdom, tact, sound judgment with divine grace can do it. a mighty
lift will be given to Home Missions in the Synod of New Jersey.
"Our Detached Peoples."
Our Newark Presbyterial Superintendent, Dr. Lusk, has risen to his

terian family in the Synod. Those pastors who have not yet obtained
theirs for their people, may secure copies from the Synodical Superin-
tendent, to whom their distribution has been committed.
Now I am done. I have sensed my task. This half year has afforded
a rich experience. I find my duties manifold. I go at the call of
Synod's Committee. I hold a fellowship relation to the Presbyterial
committees. My work must be done in part through them. When
pastors have ways they can use me, I go when possible at their call.
I have no dictatorial powers. The most I want is to be kept in the
way of service anywhere, everywhere within the bounds of the Synod,
and all for the glory of Him, "whose we are and whom we serve."

VI.— THE FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
WOMAN'S SYNODICAL SOCIETY OF HOME MISSIONS
IN THE SYNOD OF NEW JERSEY
The past year has been one of changes in all parts of our Synodical,
but such changes as we feel indicate growth and enlarged activity. The
general movement to unite Home and Foreign organizations must
mean greater strength, and the new departments of activity so many
societies are adopting are but the logical attendants of this general
forward movement.
Elizabeth has united its Home and Foreign Presbyterials, and has
great hopes for the union. I notice the secretary in her report has
stressed Points of Excellence, and states that two societies have the
Missionary Monthly and the Year Book of Prayer in the hands of at
least one-half their membership. Plainfield First has just finished
the first year of Guild organization with missionary committees, and
finds the plan practical. There has been a decided increase in contribu-
tions, and the whole tone of the Presbyterial report is good.
Jersey City has added three new offices, with promise of greatly
enlarged activity — a Field Secretary for Special Work, a secretary to
present the subject of Stewardship throughout the Presbyterial, and
a secretary of Associate Membership.
Monmouth has added four new auxiliaries and shows advancement
along all lines.
The secretary for Morris and Orange writes : "We raised $626.00
for our teacher's salary at the N. J. Academy in Utah, which is $26.00
over our pledge. Two auxiliaries report volunteers from their ranks
for work in the field."
Parsippany .sent a student to Northfield, and from the Y. L. Society
of Bethel Church, East Orange, Miss Edna Robinson goes as Secre-
tary of the Boys' Farm at Asheville, North Carolina. Very few
auxiliaries can boast of as many years of service as Parsippany, for
on July 23rd they celebrated their 105th birthday. The committee for
the day gathered together the photographs and signatures of the
Charter members and the original Constitution and By-Laws', as well
as complete secretaries' and treasurers' reports to that date. Orange
Central Society celebrated its 50th anniversary.
Newark reports : "We more than met our apportionment and under-
took at our annual meeting the support of Rev. D. K. Ward, of Indian
Wells, Arizona, as a Presbyterial Missionary. With the Roseville Ave-
nue S. S. our Presbyterial Society also supports an Italian Deaconess.
At the Missionary Exposition we had booths depicting our work for
the. Mountaineers and the foreigners in our city."
New Brunswick writes : "The great event in our Presbyterial was
the uniting of the Home and Foreign Presbyterials at the annual
meeting, and quite deserving of comment was the unanimous adoption
of the new constitution on the first reading. This was also the occa-
sion of the observance of the Jubilee of the Foreign Presbyterial
84 Woman's Society, Home Missions. Oct.,
Society, and two of the charter members were present. We can also
report an increase in number of meetings held, attendance, member-
ship and gifts."
Newton reports having had a most encouraging year with increase
in auxiliaries, membership and gifts.
West Jersey's fine report included "the Second Church of Bridgeton
won the banner again with twenty study classes to their credit." The
gain in Freedman's work was most noticeable, a decided increase in
gifts and fourteen auxiliaries sent boxes to the value of more than
$i,ooo. A secretary was appointed for Hospital and School supplies
in our own land. The two district meetings were well attended, most
interesting and profitable."
These are just nuggets from the reports of our busy Presbyterial
secretaries, but what an insight they give us of faithful work accom-
plished and of
"Faith to dare,
Upheld by prayer.
Then joy in work well done."
Respectfully submitted,
Jessie Fuixerton,
Corresponding Secretary.

VII.— REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN MISSIONS
The cry of the ancient prophet "break up your fallow ground for it
is time to seek Jehovah" finds a startling answer to-day throughout the
non-Christian world. God's ploughs are at work and He is challeng-
ing His Church to sow the seed in the broken soil. The world is
passing through the post war experience with problems of peace and
reconstruction far more difficult than those of self-defense and destruc-
tion. The nations are swept with unrest, suspicion and fear, but
beneath all this are movenients so deep and significant that their out-
come will determine in a very decided way the progress of the Kingdom
of God.
Among these movements the following may be noted : The tides
toward national consciousness among the nations are running, high
and the demand for an indigenous church must be heard with great
care. The more intelligent classes are turning away from the strong-
holds of pagan thinking and customs and their minds are opening for
new conceptions of life. The mass movements toward Christianity
continue in Africa, India and are gaining ground in Korea and China.
The past year has witnessed the growing of the new forms of oppo-
sition against the Protestant Missions. Roman Catholicism has made
a new declaration of war against Protestant Missions, especially evi-
dent in the Latin countries and Buddhism is attempting to undermine
Christianity by insiduous flattery and by adopting the methods of her
great rival. Mohammedanism is presenting the greatest united front
since the beginning of the Foreign Alissionary enterprise. These forms
of opposition, however, only proclaim the aggressiveness and the
success of our cause and they come to us more in the form of a
challenge than as sources of discouragement. Into this general situation
the Church has flung herself with splendid zeal during the past year.
The Board closed the year with all bills paid and a surplus of $66,075
which was used to reduce the old deficit which is now only $129,000.
This surplus of the Board, however, was not due to any increase in
the offerings from the churches, but rather a decrease in the cost of
foreign exchange. The fact is the contributions from the churches
decreased during the year over $190,000. In this connection we must
note that the Woman's Board broke all records by securing $110,000
more than during the previous year. It is a matter of satisfaction
that the memorial fund of $100,000 in memory of the late Secretary,
Abram W. Halsey, has been raised by cash and pledges and sufficient
cash is in hand to warrant the erection of the Halsey Memorial Press
in Africa, the work upon which is already begun.
At home, good progress has been made in the educational department.
There was during the year a notable increase in Church Schools of
Missions, one of the most effective forms of missionary education
yet devised.
88 Foreign Missions. Oct.,
In the Candidate Department 515 young people began correspondence
with the Board in regard to Missionary Service, a very gratifying
evidence of present day interest in Foreign Missionary enterprise.
The forces in the field were not only well maintained, but consider-
ably increased, over 1,000 native workers being added; 20,145 members
were added to the rolls of the native churches and $1,801,022 in gold
were contributed by the native Christians.
It is impossible to give any complete account of the part our
Synod played in this activity excepting by contributions, which, accord-
ing to the report of the Board, the churches of our Synod, not includ-
ing the Woimin's Board, contributed $165,419.79, a decrease of $22,511.11
from the previous year. All the Presbyteries, excepting Havana,
shared in this decrease. The latter shows an increase of seventy-eight
per cent The Presbyteries showing the most marked decrease are
Elizabeth, $4,831.90, Jersey City, $6,485.24, and Morris and Orange
$5,028.21. These three presbyteries account for seventy-two per cent,
of the total loss. On the other hand the Sunday Schools gave $18,724.10
an increase of $1,298.30.
.Ainother encouraging fact is that in 1920-1921, there were 130 churches
in the Synod which made no contribution to Foreign Missions. Last
year this number decreased to ninety-five. But on the other hand,
176 Sunday Schools made no contributions to Foreign Missions in 1920-
1921. which number was increased to 228 this last year. The per capita
gift of the Synod during the year 1921-1922 was $1.26, a decrease of
thirty-three cents over the previous year. The per capita gift in the
Sunday School was $1.18 for the year, a decrease of seven cents over
the previous year. These figures indicate that a great deal of work
must be done in the Synod not only to bring into line the non-
contributing churches and Sunday Schools, but increasing the per
capita gift per member.
In the decreases noted above, the Synod shared with the general
situation throughout the country. As indicated by the fact that during
the year our Synod advanced from the fourth to the third place in total
gifts from the churches and also from the Sunday Schools. In both of
these respects our Synod passed the great Ohio Synod.
We would call the attention of Synod to the following important
matters :
First. The last General Assembly approved the proposed plan for the
consolidation of the Boards and Agencies of the Church. One
feature of that plan provides for the consolidation of the Board of
Foreign Missions and the Woman's Board of Foreign Missions into
one new Board to be called the Board of Foreign Missions of the
Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. An impression is apparently
receiving credence in some sections of the church that this new
Board has already actually been organized and that there is no longer
any Woman's Board of Foreign Missions. This is not true. The
new Board has not yet organized and there is little likelihood it will
begin to function during the present fiscal year.
I
i()22. Foreign Missions. 89
Second. We would call your attention to the fact that the General
Assembly authorized the Foreign Board to transfer to the Board of
Home Missions the work among the Orientals in the United States.
The Foreign Board to assume some financial responsibility until the
end of the year 1924. This transfer was made the first of last June.
Third. The Budget authorized by the Executive Commission to the
two Boards of Foreign Missions for the present fiscal year is $4,643,000,
an increase of about $700,000 over the budget authorized a year ago.
Over $400,000 of this increase is made necessary to take care of
increases and the salaries of missionaries, allowances for the children
of missionaries, and the continuation for the salaries of veterans in
the service, all of which were enthusiastically approved by the General
Assembly.
Fourth. During the year, the Board made a most thorough investi-
gation of certain charges of irregular beliefs and teachings amongst
our missionaries and reported to the General Assembly it was unable
to discover any grounds for such accusations. "Neither has it received
any evidence in regard to any individual calling for or capable of trans-
mission to any Presbytery." The Assembly received this report with
rejoicing and our churches can loyally support the work of the Board
and send their contributions directly into its treasury.
Fifth. Receipts from living donors for the Board's regular work
for the first five months of the present fiscal year (to August 31st)
amounted to $563,652.89. This is a slight increase over the correspond-
ing period of a year ago, but is only a small proportion of the amount
needed for the year's work.
Respectfully submitted for the committee,
CORDIE J. GULP,
Chairman.

VIII.— REPORT OF THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY
The Forty-Fifth Annual Report of the Woman's Synodical
Society of Foreign Missions in the Synod of New Jersey
This year we have in our report the record of the celebration of
many fiftieth birthdaj's.
The New Brunswick Presbyterial has held its golden anniversary.
At this Jubilee Meeting the two societies, Home and Foreign, were
united into one, to be known as the Woman's Missionary Society of
■the Presbytery of New Brunswick.
Stockton auxiliary was the first one to be organized.
At the end of the first year there were eleven auxiliaries with a
membership of a little over two hundred.
At the end of fifty years there are thirty-eight auxiUaries with a
membership of over two thousand.
Eighteen missionaries have been sent out by the Presbyterial Society,
three their very own Jubilee missionaries.
Lawrenceville celebrated their one-hundredth anniversary the past
year,
Monmouth Presbyterial has also held its Jubilee.
Three new auxiliaries were formed during the past year.
One auxiliary attained lOO per cent, standard of excellence.
The report of the treasurer showed an increase of over $900 in
contributions.
Twenty-seven auxiliaries out of thirty-five met their apportion-
ment and five went over the top.
Elizabeth Presbyterial reports thirty auxiliaries. Only two are
organized separately for Home and Foreign Missions.
Rahway 2nd has originated the idea of a letter secretary, whose duty
is to read and answer letters from the mission field.
Some auxiliaries have found it very successful to have all-day meet-
ings. Sewing in the morning, luncheon and a missionary meeting in
the afternoon.
One auxiliary in Plainfield opens the year with a luncheon for all
the women of the church and closes with a luncheon in June.
At the annual meeting the Elizabeth Society voted to unite the Home
and Foreign Societies in one organization. This Presbyterial has joined
the New York district.
The Synodical Society now has four Presbyterials connected with
the New York District and four with the Philadelphia District.
In the Jersey City Presbyterial the First Church of Paterson cele-
brated its fiftieth birthday. This church was one of the original seven
churclies that formed the Woman's Missionary Society of Jersey City
Presbytery. Special evening meetings have been held to interest the
business women and girls that otherwise do not become asquainted
with mission work. A field secretary for special work has been
appointed.
ig22. Woman's Society, Foreign Missions. 91
Stewardship is to be presented to the auxiHaries by the First Vice-
President. The office of associate membership secretary has been
created.
Morris and Orange has also elected a secretary for associate mem-
bership. One new auxiliary has been added to this Presbyterial society.
In December in Munn Avenue Presbyterian Church, East Orange,
a Missionary Exposition was held. All the auxiliaries in the Presby-
tery participated. It was held for three days. Over 5,000 people were
in attendance. It was a great object lesson for mission study.
Orange Central auxiliary celebrated its fiftieth birthday in February.
Newark Presbyterial reports growth in interest, in gifts and added
zeal all along all missionary lines. I^Iore year-books of prayer sold than
ever before.
Four of the auxiliaries held their golden anniversaries : Roseville
Avenue, Newark; Caldwell, First and Westminster of Bloomfield.
The overseas work greatly increased. The past year they have been
supporting a city missionary and are now going to support a home
missionary. A Missionary Exposition was held in the First Church
of Newark.
In West Jersey the Home and Foreign Presbyterials have been
organized as one society. Two new auxiliaries have been added. The
associate membership has increased by 199.
Newton Presbyterial held its golden anniversary at Washington
with a large attendance and an interesting program. Every auxiliary
secretary reported. In the active membership there was a net gain of
eighty, and of twenty-seven in the associate department. The increase
in number of meetings has been fifty-eight, with a gain of 116 in
average attendance.
In tlie Synodical Society there are now reported 15,007 members and
2(:j& auxiliaries.
The Presbyterial Society that had the largest attendance at the
annual meeting was New Brunswick. The attendance was 350.
The two auxiHaries in the Synodical Society that have the largest
average attendance at the monthly meeting are the Westminster Oiurch
at Bloomfield, with seventy-seven in attendance, and Summit Church
with seventy-five in attendance.
All societies have reported an increased interest in Overseas and
Home Missions hospital work.
The last week of June General Assembly's New Era Committee
held a conference at Stony Brook, to which the Presbyterial presidents
of New Jersey Synodical were invited.
Five of the societies were represented : Newark, Morris and Orange,
Newton, West Jersey and New Brunswick.
Missionary education and stewardship were especially emphasized.
As a closing message, I bring the keynote of the conference, namely,
92 Woman's Society, Foreign Missions. Oct.,
"That it is the business of every Presbyterian church to bring men to
Christ ; to build them up in Christ ; and to send them forth with Christ.
Respectfully submitted,
MINNIE ATKINS BULLARD,
Corresponding Secretary.
Hospital and School Supplies
Because a number of the auxiharies were working for hospitals and
schools, the Executive Committee of the Synodical Society for Home
Missions voted, at the January meeting, to recommend to the Society
that there be created a department to take charge of the matter of
suppHes for Home Missionary hospitals and schools, and that said
department be united with the Overseas department of the Foreign
Society, a joint secretary for the same to be elected at the annual meet-
ing in October. It was also voted that the president appoint an assistant
in the Educational Department who should have charge of this work
until the annual meeting.
The Overseas Secretary of the Foreign Synodical Society, who was
asked to be this pro tern, officer, now has the department ready for
permanent organization with a duly elected secretary, and the following
is her report.
Harriette R. Halju)way,
Department of Education.
The hospital and school work was started this year in the New Jersey
Home Synodical Society. A secretary has been appointed in each
Presbytery, in most cases the same one who is in charge of the Over-
seas work. The departments are being organized and the following
work has been apportioned to the Presbyteries for the coming year:
Elizabeth, Jersey City — Presbyterian Hospital, San Juan, Porto Rico.
Morris and Orange, Newark — Sheldon Jackson School, Sitka, Alaska.
Newton, Monmouth, West Jersey — Community Work, Cortland, Ken-
tucky.
New Brunswick — ^Cabaiguan, Cuba.
Another year we hope to report not only on the work sent out by
the Societies, but also on their interest and enthusiasm and on the
response from the hospitals and schools which receive the supplies.
Edna M. Brown.
Overseas Hospital Work
The Overseas hospital work has been undertaken this year by all of
the eight Presbyterial societies. Each of these has appointed an Over-
seas secretary to take charge of the work. It is through the faithfulness
and efficiency of these new officers and the splendid co-operation of
H
i<)22. Woman's Society, Foreign Missions. 93
the societies back of them that the interest has been so general and
that we have been able to supply the needs of the following hospitals :
Elizabeth — Benito, West Africa.
Jersey City — Tsinsing Hospitals, China.
*Monniouth — American Presbyterian Hospital, Kachek, Hainan
Mission, China.
Morris and Orange — The Grace Talcott Hospital, China. Hoi How
Hospital, China.
Newark^ — Hugh O'Neill Memorial Hospital, Shuntehfu, China.
*Newton — American Presbyterian Hospital, Kachek, Hainan Mission,
China.
New Brunswick — Presbyterian Mission Hospital, Bohol, Philippines.
*West Jersey — American Presbyterian Hospital, Kachek, Hainan Mis-
sion, China.
*These three Presbyteries are co-operating.
The grateful letters which we have received from the doctors to
whom the boxes were sent assure us that our efforts are appreciated
and inspire us to greater things.

Elizabeth reports the loss of 88; New Brunswick 89; West Jersey 81,
and Newton stands the same as last year.
The Foreign Study Books forfeited their popularity this year to
their rivals, the Home Mission Study Books, losing 327 in number of

It is difficult to estimate the sales of the Year Book of Prayer, but
always we may urge the constant use of this helpful little book. A
94 Woman's Society, Foreign Missions. Oct.,
reported gain of 182 in all Presbyteries is most gratifying. The Year
Book used at every meeting and daily in all Presbyterian homes is the
goal before us this year.

Women's Synodical Society for Foreign Missions in the
Synod of New Jersey
Report of Secretary of Young People's Work, 1921-1922
This report, both as to statistics and information, is a joint report of
the Home and Foreign work, as the reports from the Presbyteries come
both to me and to the Boards in that way.
Comparing the statistics of this year with those of last, they seem
much lower, but practically all the Presbyteries have reported growth.
There are 68 societies who have failed to send in their reports. We
only know there are societies, but having no record of the number of
members, it consequently makes our statistic proportions, very low and
far from satisfactory. There have been 36 new societies organized and
only II disbanded.
Our gifts have been well kept up and we have much for encourage-
ment. Jersey. City has had a hard time with no young people's secretary,
but one has been elected and we are hoping great things for them
this year.
New Brunswick has had its first young people's conference, and fine
reports have been received from them of this work ; also from the West-
minster Guild work of Jersey City, and the Jubilee report of young
people's work of Monmouth.
Newark has had a wonderful Junior C. E. in Central Church, Newark,
having 150 members, an increase of 88 the past year, and giving
$253.92.
The mission study classes have been many and well attended.
For next year we plead for reports to coTtie in from every society,
96 Woman's Society, Foreign Missions. Oct.,
and on time, March 15th, and for young people's conferences to be held
in every Presbytery.
Many have attended summer conferences and Presbyterial meetings,
but if the secretaries and leaders could go. inspiration and advancement
would surely be the result.
The next year our young people's apportionment is larger, but we
feel sure that we can reach it. As ever we keep our ideals before us.
we feel we are pushing on and may we continue to reach onward and
look upward and outward in our work for His kingdom.

Report of Secretary for Missionary Education, Home and
Foreign Synodical Societies
It would be a great pleasure to report "no changes" among the eight
Presbyterial secretaries of this department, but truth requires the state-
ment that there is a fifty per cent, turnover — a most unusual situation.
Elizabeth, Jersey City, Newark and Newton bespeak our co-operation
with new educational secretaries.
This has been a year of steady work, with constantly ready assist-
ance from the secretaries of the same departments in the two National
Boards and with plenty of well prepared equipment in the form of
good text-books and supplemental helps of all kinds.

in the fact.

98 Evangelistic Committee. Oct.^
IX.— REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON EVANGELISM.
New Jersey occupies an honorable place in the history of American
Evangelism. During the Great Awakening in the middle colonies in the
i8th century, many of the churches afterward organized into the Synod
of New Jersey experienced great spiritual quickening. Such men as
Frelinghuysen, Dickinson, the Tennants, David Brainerd, and George
Whitefield, by their impassioned preaching and wise direction did much
to stimulate the religious life of the colonies. All through the suc-
ceeding years the churches of New Jersey have been responsive to
the evangelistic appeal. Great evangelists like Moody, B. Fay Mills,
William A. Sunday, Gypsy Smith and J. Wilbur Chapman have found
congenial soil in New Jersey for sowing the Gospel seed, and many
notable works of grace have blessed their labors.
But even more significant has been the evangelistic spirit of the
congregations and the evangelistic aptitude of their ministers, when
not stimulated by the presence of great popular religious leaders.
The Synod has always been sympathetic with the faithful presentation
of the Gospel of Christ as the sole hope of men.
It is therefore peculiarly appropriate that at the meeting of Synod
which marks one hundred years of work for Christ, we should give
special attention to the present status of evangelistic work within
our bounds. We should carefully estimate the means now in use to
perpetuate our historic interest in the Gospel appeal, and seek to con-
serve by every means whatever is valuable in our present organization.
During the last six years the evangelistic work of Synod has been
officially committed to a group of men known as the Committee on
Evangelism. The comimittee began with no subsidies and with no
prestige. It has had no funds, even if it had had the desire, for
selfish publicity. It assumed from the first the task of providing the
means for its work, first by personal subscriptions and later by solici-
tation from the churches of yearly contributions. War conditions
complicated its problem during at least three years of its life. Budget
technicalities stubbornly refused to be smoothed out. Yet the work
went on with steadily increasing momentum. Presbytery after Pres-
bytery engaged in campaigns under the committee's auspices. Many
refreshing seasons of revival were enjoyed. The churches have sup-
ported the work in larger amounts each year. We come this year
with the best report we have ever submitted to Synod.
There is no doubt that the interests of Evangelism in the Synod
and in the Church at large are being successfully promoted by our
work, and that Synod possesses in this organization a valuable asset
not lightly to be surrendered or abridged in its scope.
Two important campaigns were carried on last year by the committee,
and two have been brought to auspicious beginnings. Elizabeth and
New Brunswick held meetings in 1921-1922, and Jersey City and
I
ig22. Evangelistic Committee. 99
Monmouth will have completed their campaigns before the next meet-
ing of Synod. Two more, Newark and Newton, are planning for 1923-
1924.
The Elizabeth Campaign.
The Elizabeth campaign was faithfully prepared under the per-
sistent, yet tactful direction of our secretary, Rev. Marshall Harring-
ton. He visited every church in the Presbytery, conferred with
pastors and sessions, and in most cases presented the campaign to the
congregations. The committees were early at work. Speakers' Com-
niittee was especially happy in its choice of able and devoted pastors
to preach. The Finance Committee was successful in providing the
necessary funds for the work, and had a small balance which was
turned over to Synod's committee. The Publicity Committee kept all
the churches informed of the progress of the campaign and thus
quickly and effectively spread the contagion of interest in the move-
ment.
The work in the rural churches was for the most part carried on
in the fall, that in the cities in the winter. We have detailed reports
from most of the pastors of the rural churches testifying to the fine
spirit of the meetings, and in many cases to important spiritual results.
Basking Ridge experienced what was perhaps the most gratifying
revival held in Synod during the life of our comimittee. Diligent,
thorough, wise, prayerful preparation; earnest, eloquent, persuasive
preaching of the simple Gospel message ; and skilful, patient conserving
of the results made possible a harvest such as every earnest Christian
worker longs some day to gather. The pastor writes : "The final
result was the largest single addition of members the church has had
in one hundred years. Not only has the large addition to the member-
ship been gratifying, but the life of the church has been stimulated and
refreshed. We confidently believe no better method could have been
adopted by this church and we heartily commend the plan, believing
it can be adapted to the needs of any church."
From city and suburban churches the reports are also most grati-
fying. Though the results did not in all cases meet expectations,
yet there were a number of helpful series of meetings and pastors have
written with great appreciation of the work accomplished.
There were 171 more admissions on confession of faith in 1921-
1922 than in the previous year. These figures were of course gathered
before April i, and cannot represent the full numerical result of the
campaign, especially since Easter fell in April of this year.
The New Brunswick Campaign
The campaign in New Brunswick Presbytery was productive of larger
numerical results than that in Elizabeth. Rev. C. O. Blanton was
chairman of the committee and himself enjoyed a most successful
ministry in the old Amwell First Church. The church reports twenty-
100 Evangelistic Committee. Oct.,
six additions on confession of faith, only six less than the total for
the five years preceding. All agree that the numerical results recorded
do not begin to express the blessing which the Church received.
Lambertville enjoyed a truly wonderful revival. The town was
thoroughly canvassed for new and unchurched families ; was then
divided into districts and committees put in charge. Prayer meetings
were held in each district, forty in all', ending in a mass prayer
meeting of all the districts. Great interest developed in these meet-
ings. In addition an unusual publicity campaign was carried on. The
whole town was circularized again and again. Letters were sent to
church members and to "prospects." This intensive preparation greatly
encouraged the visiting pastor evangelist. His messages were very
powerful and persuasive. At one service 200 Christians renewed their
vows of consecration. The total attendance for the twelve days was
4,300. 1,900 attended the prayer meetings, and this in a community
of only 4,600 people, well provided with churches of other denomi-
nations. Seventy- three were added to the church, sixty of whom
were on confession of faith.
Other churches in New Brunswick Presbytery were likewise blessed
in the campaign. The simultaneous meeting in sixteen churches of
Trenton and vicinity were most helpful. The net gain in membership
in the Presbytery was the largest since the Sunday meetings of 1916.
Other Evangelistic Meetings.
Many churches in other Presbyteries engaged in evangelistic meet-
ings with gratifying results. All the Presbyteries but two show a net
gain in membership.
Statistics.
We must remember in considering these few figures that the year
192T-1922 contained no Easter Sunday. Many churches at the sug-
gestion of the New Era Committee have concentrated their efforts in
the latter half of the church year with a view to a large ingathering at
Easter. It is encouraging to note that in spite of the absence of Easter
in the fiscal year we nevertheless show a net gain in membership. The
Reserved Roll continues to present a serious problem. More than
three thousand were placed on the roll of suspended members during
the year. Pastors and sessions are urged to use all possible care and
diligence to prevent this loss.

Prksbyteries Holding Campaigns This Year.
Monmouth Presbytery has already begun its meetings. There has
been an unusual program of prayer and conference in preparation for
the campaign. Rev. Frank Lukens, chairman of the committee, made
it possible for the Secretary to visit all the churches beginning in
March and closing in July, 1922. The list of visiting ministers and
local pastors who will have charge of the preaching promises well for
the success of the campaign.
Jersey City will open its campaign in the Leonia Church on Octo^-
ber 10. More than a year of preparation has preceded the opening.
The churches are widely scattered yet have been welded together
under the direction of the chairman, Rev. O. M. Demcott.
Campaigns Next Year.
Newark Presbytery has appointed a special committee under the
leadership of Rev. Chas. Lee Reynolds, D.D., to prepare for a cam-
paign in the year 1923-1924. The Secretary has engagements to preach
in several of the churches and an itinerary will be arranged for this
fall and winter. Mr. Fred I. Goodman,, of the International Y. M.
C. A. and a member of the Newark Committee, will have special work
among the men of the churches. An all day meeting for prayer and
conference was held at Bloomfield on October 3.
Newton Presbytery is also planning a campaign for next year. A
ncn^el visitation of the churches by the ministers of Presbytery, under
the leadership of Rev. S. B. Cooper, D.D., has been planned. Minis-
ters and elders will meet in small groups to consider the spiritual
conditions of the churches. Larger conferences will be held later.
Our Secretary will represent our committee in conference and co-
operation.
Finances.
Since the beginning of this committee's work, the churches have
increased their gifts for it year by year.
This has been the best year of all. Up to this date (September 29),
the churches have contributed upwards of $4,800. Interested indi-
viduals have added $500. We hope that the completed report will
show all bills paid and no deficit.
It is exceedingly interesting and gratifying to note that while we
102 Evangelistic Committee. Oct.,
have been developing the support of our own evangehstic work among
the churches of Synod, that our interest in and our gifts to the cause
of national evangeHsm have correspondingly increased. Last year New
Jersey Synod contributed $3,840.68 to the budget of General Assem-
bly's Committee, more than seven per cent, of the whole. The gifts
of Synod to General Assembly's Committee are now three times what
they were when this committee began its work. We cannot do the
Lord's work in a comer.
Work of Secretary.
During the past year the Secretary has preached 110 sermons and
delivered 119 addresses. He attended 43 committee meetings, 140
conferences with Presbyteries, groups of ministers and church officers,
and was present at 20 meetings of Presbyteries. He traveled 9,535
miles. During the past year he has visited and preached in nearly
100 churches. It is largely due to his extraordinary faithfulness and
diligence that the work done has been so fruitful.
Mr. John H. Sinex, Chairman of the Committee, and Mr. Harvey
M. Voorhees, Chairman of the Finance Committee, have given the
Synod the advantage of their wide business experience and executive
ability. A^r. Kenneth H. Lanning, Treasurer, has supen'ised the keep-
ing of the books and has given the work his intelligent interest and
cordial support.
"Fifty Revivals in Fifty Churches," is the title of a pamphlet which
has been prepared by our secretary and which will be circulated in
Synod. It expresses the prayer of your committee. On all our litera-
ture this year will appear a sketch in perspective of fifty churches,
with the old Tennent Church in the foregrooind. We hope that the
evangelistic fervor which characterized the Tennent Church in the old
days will lead us all into a wider field of evangelistic endeavor. If
fifty churches will pray for and prepare for fifty revivals within their
walls, every church in Synod will share their blessing.

Analysis of Treasurer's Report.
1. On the floor of Synod last year the additional contributions of
$550 from individuals made it possible to pay the deficit reported by the
Treasurer leaving a balance of $7.05.
2. This year we have received $900 from individuals and $5,113.90 from
the churches. The following table shows contributions in the past five
years :
Individuals Churches
1918 $2,47200 $65200
1919 2,000 00 2,428 93
1920 1,605 00 3,266 84
1921 1,265 00 4,391 47
1922 900 00 5,113 90
3. The contributions from the churches have increased 16 per cent.
A similar increase next year will enable the Committee to pay all the
expenses from the contributions of the churches.
4. Comparative contributions of the churches by Presbyteries :

5. Both Elizabeth and New Brunswick Presbyteries contributed to the
Committee from the surplus of the Evangelistic Campaigns.
6. The net expenses for the year were $5,955.27, which is less than
the $6,000.00 budget authorized by Synod in 1921.
7. $55.00 sent to our Committee by mistake were returned to Presby-
terial campaign treasurers: (see Disbursements). The surplus of New
Brunswick Campaign over and above $850.00, amounting to $73.34, was
sent to the General Assembly's Committee on Evangelism.
8. All the obligations of the Committee have been met and there is a
cash balance in the treasury of $10.68.
9. The budget of $6,000.00 for 1922-23 is assigned to the Presbyteries
as follows :
Elizabeth $900 00
Jersey City 750 00
Monmouth 600 00

General Board of Education. Oct.,
XL— REPORT OF TFIE PERMANENT COMMITTEE ON THE
GENERAL BOARD OF EDUCATION
There is much evidence to show that at the present timie there is an
increased interest in the cause of Christian education. The churches
of America seem to have awakened to the fact that unless young
people in their student years are brought under religious influences
there is a definite loss of character and in time these students will
become a menace to the Christian democracy of which our country
boasts. While this interest is wide-spread it has failed to produce
actual results within the borders of our Synod.
This is shown by the fact that the Board receives less than one-
third of its quota in undesignated funds. The seriousness of the
situation thus thrust upon the Board is beyond question. With the
responsibility of holding before the yoimg people the call of the
gospel ministry while on every hand we read of the increased shortage
in this most important of vocations ; and with the 200,000 young people
in State universities where there is no religious instruction for our
Presbyterian young people unless it is provided by our Board and
with fifty-six church colleges to be encouraged and helped, the loss of
two-thirds of the amount approved by the Executive Commission is a
handicap that it is impossible to overcome.
The only way that this emergency can be met is to have the pastors
of our churches educate their congregations in the supreme import-
ance of this work. It has not the romantic appeal of some other
phases of our work but it is the foundation stone of church efficiency.
The Church can only be successful when it has an adequate and well
trained leadership in the pulpit supported by an intelligent and devout
lay leadership in the church. These leaders must come from the edu-
cated young people and this is the work that your Board is doing
to the best of its ability with the limited resources at its control.
The Board tells us that last year 270 new names were added to the
roll of our ministers. One hundred and fifty-nine of these new minis-
ters were ordained within the year and most of them probably came
from our own seminaries, but the other 120 came from other denomi-
nations in which they had already been ordained. This shows that
almost half of the ministers that came into our church last year came
from other denominations and some of them probably failed to have
the intellectual training which had been according to Presbyterian
standards. There are evidences that through the Vocational Work
of the Board more of the Presbyterian young people are seriously
considering the gospel ministry as a life work and probably in the
near future a larger percentage will be volunteering for this service.
Under the University Department the Board is carrying on Christian
work in forty-eight States universities. In twenty-three of these
centres there are full time university pastors in charge. We should
not rest until the Board had been given the means to make adequate
I
ig22. General Board of Education. 113
provision in the way of buildings and workers in every university of the
land.
There are at the present time fifty-six colleges and academies con-
nected with our Board. Some of these colleges are in distinctly mission-
ary fields where they can get little or no support from their localities.
They look to the Church for financial assistance in carrying on their
institutions and in developing them according to modern educational
requirements. Tn most of these colleges and academies the spiritual
influence is of a high grade but in some the educational equipment is
woefully weak. We cannot expect ambitious young people to accept
poor educational equipment because of spiritual atmosphere, and there-
fore we should make every effort to build up our schools and colleges.
Through its Financial Department the Board is developing the local
financial support and in some cases fine results have been attained.
The members of the Synod are requested to bear in mind the
urgency of this work and through utterances from the pulpit and a
use of Dr. Clarke's book "Education for Successful Living" in prayer
meetings or study classes developing the knowledge of our congre-
gations in the need of a Christian education. It is our firm; conviction
that adequate knowledge is bound to increase financial support and the
Board trusts the members of Synod will co-operate with them in
bringing these facts before their congregations.

Religious Education. Oct.
XII.— COMMITTEE ON RELIGIOUS P:DUCATI0N.
The close of a century of the life of the Synod of New Jersey sees
the church pressing vigorously and eagerly forward in the great task
of giving an adequate training in Christian truth and life to her chil-
dren and youth. The task is constantly enlarging with the enlarging
field and emerging problems. The activities which concern this com-
mittee are very many and very urgent. They are not only all those of
the modern graded Sunday School, and of the best societies and guilds
and clubs for young' people, but of the maintenance of our own stand-
ards and policies, and the unification and correlation of the programs
in the individual church, and the extension of the time and oppor-
tunities of religions education in the community. Our Board of
Publication and Sabbath School work has developed, largely under the
leadership of the Rev. Harold M. Robinson, D.D., a definite "program
of Christian Education in the Home, in the Church, and in the Com-
munity." This program, with its underlying principles, is made widely
known through The Ch7-istian Educator, and occasionally "Bulletins,"
which every pastor ought to read. It is thoroughly discussed not only
by the Headquarters Staff of the Board, who are the expert department
heads, but by an annual three-day conference of field workers and
Synodical Superintendents and Chairmen. The writer, not only as
Chairman of this Committee, but as a member of the Board, has
attended three of these conferences. The task is to extend the agen-
cies, develop the policies and methods and provide the materials for
religious education thro^lghout the church. The vision contemplates
"Christian education seven days a week," in the Home, in the Indi-
vidual Church, and in the Community. In the words of a good report,
"we may predict that in another one hundred years this program will
have been incorporated into the Church's life as its greatest feature
of advance, and future ministers will look back upon this century
as the little-^red-school-house period of religious education." And yet
nothing could be better than to restore our ancient glory in this
niTitter and let the pastor be the chief instructor of all the children of
the Church. That is partly what he is ordained for.
We are all conscious of the need of doing something constructive
and effective in the promotion of spiritual training in the home. We
must talk not only of the family altar, but of informing the parents
and providing all necessary helps, remembering the needs of various
ages and guiding in worship, stewardship and memory work. This is
being done, both in providing the literature and promoting its use.
It is closely associated with the Sunday School, too, thrcvugh the
widely open doors of the Cradle Roll and the Home Department; and
if we cannot tie up the home to the Sunday School through the adult
department also, most of our work for the children will be like pour-
ing water through a sieve.
ig22. Religious Education. 115
We want you to know why our Board is advocating a "Three-hour-a-
week Church School." There are three elements in religious education
— worship, instruction and expression. These three must be in all
the agencies of religious education in the church, but the emphasis
laid upon one phase more in one agency than in another.
The programs of all agencies must therefore be correlated, and the
proposal is to seek to do that, making worship the aim of the teaching
in the Sunday School, giving instruction the first place in a week-
day church school hour, keeping the teaching up to the public school
standard; and giving expression its right place in an expressional
period. All this is based on our existing departmental grades, and
will properly make expression come honestly out of real knowledge
and experience, as well as enabling us to show that expression in its
various forms is a necessary part of spiritual education. While some
idealists tell us that the development of the Young People's Depart-
ment of the Sunday School will do away with the separate young
peoples societies, such as the Christian Endeavor, experience shows
that ihe result is a better empliasis upon the place and work of these
societies, and our own leaders adhere to this latter view. The unifica-
tion of the educational work in a local church, of which we have been
speaking is furthered not only by a "Council of Religious Education"
in each church, the advantages of which are constantly maintained
by our Board, but by the new series of Westminster Religious Educa-
tion Text-books, prepared for use in week-day church schools, or in the
correlated scheme above outlined. These books are cloth-bound and
"up to public school standards in workmanship."
The discussion on the development of schools for "Week Day Reli-
gions Instruction" is widespread, and the number of such schools is
rapidly increasing. More than 200 cities and towns were carrying
on this work during the past school year, but there were 700 schools
and the increase was 300 per cent. The feeling grows that the moral
condition of American children and youth demands this great move-
ment. The present facilities of religious education are terribly inade-
quate, both in the matter of time spent and the training of the teach-
ers. Considering the question of time, for instance, while 900 hours
are given to secular education, only twenty-'six are given to religious
education. In Aiidrson, Ind., a town not over-populated with foreign-
ers, sixty per cent, of the children are not receiving any religious
education, even Jewish or Roman Catholic. In New Jersey there are
57,000 not enrolled in any such school. We claim that we must reach
the whole child or he is not truly educated. We hold that education
cannot neglect religion or the development of character and yet we
admit that the public schools cannot teach religion. They can co-
operate, however, through the forces that the community provides
and the parents choose. And they can arrange for the use of school
time (not free time), for this purpose. The basis is "equivalent
education," and the quality must be such that it is equivalent. Mr.
Squires, of our Board, has received word from the State Superintendent
ii6 Religious Education. Oct.,
of Education in nearly every Slate to the effect that the proposal is
characteristically American, for no State money is used in this way, but
each church does its own work in its own way. The plan is set in
motion by a local inter-denominational council and the local school
board co-operates. The two most important matters are the providing
of a curriculum and the securing of properly trained teachers.
Far-seeing church leaders have been saying for years ; that we ought
to have some paid teachers in our church school ; it may be that this
movement will help to that end. One fact that works with com-
pelling power in this field is that in the mind of the child himself the
religious education he receives at present does not favorably compare
in importance with his secular education, and this because the former
is minimized in time, text books and general efficiency. There are two
forms of week day schools for our purpose. One is the community,
or interdenominational school. The other is the three-hour-a-week
school for the individual church which is being worked out by our
own Board There are only three or four places where the former
scheme is actually at work in New Jersey. The best is at Somerville,
and this is due to the efforts of the Somerset County Sunday School
Secretary, the Rev. K. G. McComb. The Commissioner of Education
of this State, Mr. Enright, has expressed the opinion that the whole
plan is illegal here. Other authorities differ, however, and the opinion
is regarded by many as a mere personal opinion. Those interested in
the project hold that the decision rests with the local school board,
and they ask why New Jersey should differ from all other States.
The effort, therefore, is to create sentiment by starting these schools
throughout the state, as actual exhibits. To this end a "State Advisory
Council on Week-Day Religious Education" has been formed. The
members are not officially appointed by any religious body but volun-
teer their help, or are sought because of their interest. The Chairma;
is Canon Chas. S. Lewis, of Trenton, of the Episcopal Church. The
Chairman of your Committee is a member of the Executive Committer;
of this organization, and has faithfully attended its m.eetings. Your
attention is called again to Mr. Squires' book, "The Week-Day Church
School." Those wishing to read addresses from many minds with
many points of view on this subject should get the bound report of
the discussions at the recent meeting of the Religious Education Asso-
ciation at Chicago, edited by H. F. Cope, and entitled, "Week Day
Religious Education."
Coming back to consider our Sunday Schools as we have them, take
a glance at what is being done to improve their efficiency. Begin with
the "Children's Division." Why not secure a visit from Miss Florence
Norton, to speak on that work, a member of the educational staff of
the Board? She will tell about mothers' classes, memory work in
junior grade, teaching great hymns, and missions., and tell you that
the Catechism still has its place, and how important it is to teach a
child how to worship God, and what are the objections to a separate
"Junior Church." Or get Rev. H. T. Donnelly to stimulate you in
ig22. Religious Education. 117
"Boys' Work." He will make you think when he tells you what the
Masons and Kiwanians and other organizations are trying to do for
boys ; when he tells you that the responsibility rests on the Session and
not on the Men's Brotherhood; and that he has a comprehensive pro-
gram of boy-training securing the three essential elements, worship,
instruction and expression. He says, "if you let organizations cmt-
side of the Church take an interest in boys and the Church do nothing,
you cannot expect to find the boys in the Church." It would be well
if all our pastors and church officers could meet the staff workers of the
Board and learn how conservative they are in their views of truth,
and yet how comprehensive and alert in their knowledge of the work.
The Directors of Young People's Work, for instance, deeply fee! that
we must keep up the denominational interest of the young people.
They hold that the organizing of Sunday School classes is not enough
for the expressional activities of the youth. Our program for young
people's activities, put in poster form, has been called the best there
is, and the whole force of the United Society of Christian Endeavor is
very friendly to our program. Our surrtmer conferences are doing
more to turn the young people to their denomination than anything
else. Often a State Christian Endeavor Convention will spend $1,000
for printing. We maintain thirty summer conferences, and the printing
cost, contributed by the printer, was last year $1,800. Our Board
offers to conduct in a city or a single church a ".school of methods,"
presenting the principles, and giving . the vision and the stimulus so
much needed everywhere. All the modern movements, such as the
Daily Vacation Bible School, point plainly to the need for trained leaders
in the churches. We cannot do anything without "the people." Full
information about those summer schools, and courses for "teacher
training" can be obtained by simply writing to the Board. Any
church can start a Daily. Vacation Bible School, with little cost, and
make it a denominational effort to teach more Bible, totally apart from
the idea of trying to Americanize foreigners. It is a thing to be most
earnestly desired that more of our pastors do this.
The Presbyterial reports are summarized in the Assembly's minutes,
so far as figures are concerned. It is distressing to see the poor quality
of some of the written reports, when one thinks of the tremendous
importance of the subject. The reports from the Presbyteries of
Elizabeth, and Jersey City are to be commended, and that for New
Brunswick, by the Rev. Theron Lee, of Lambertville, is worthy of
special mention. Surely this subject can be made a "thriller" when
properly presented to Presbytery. Let us be devoutly thankful that a
better attendance upon Sunday Schools is reported all along the line.
The decline of the last few years has been checked by the return of
a slightly better life to the whole Church. Special evangelistic efforts
last winter in some Presbyteries made a marked difference in the Sunday
School reports. The number brought into the church is not always
due to the school, hut the school helps. And the school should be a
Berean club for all new church members. Our schools are mostly
ii8 Religious Education. Oct.,
graded, as for instance two-thirds of those in Jersey City Presbytery.
Most of them are using the Westminster Departmental lessons. One
says, "nearly every school uses them." It is good to know that the
reports are urging pastors to form Daily Vacation Bible Schools, and
Teacher Training Classes. The Elizabeth report gives these figures
for some large Home Departments: Connecticut Farms, 154; Roselle,
163; Westfield, 141; EHzabeth. Third, 127; Rahway, Second, 113;
Elizabeth, First, 103. This means capable and consecrated leadership.
The New Brunswick report commends the purchase by churches of a
church library for teachers and expressional organizations, and the
holding of a quarterly banquet for the hard-working officers and
teachers of the Sunday Schools.
The story that comes from the young peoples' societies is one of the
things that show we are passing through a crisis. The very incom-
plete reports indicate that they are dying out, and the pastors dis-
couraged. It is harder just now to keep the young people true to the
highest, either in personal life or service. The greatest praise and
encouragement is due to the faithful few who appreciate the place of
these societies and stand nobly by them. They are reaping spiritual
benefits that will go with thein into life. We would beg and implore
pastors and sessions to keep up these societies, even with small num-
bers, and at great personal sacrifice.
One of the most important matters that has come to your atten-
tion in recent years is the merger of the International Sunday School
Association and the Sunday School Council of Evangelical Denomi-
nations, which was consummated at Kansas City last June and the
merged body named, "The International Sunday School Council of
Religious Education." By this arrangement denominational repre-
sentatives, officially appointed, in numbers proportionate toi the Sunday
School membership help to make up the working body in all the
States. See how important this is. It places the denominations, as
such, right into the midst of the State Sunday School responsibility
and control. This synod last year appointed seven ministers to repre-
sent her in the Executive Committee of the State Association. Only
two of the seven, besides the Chairman, attended any meetings. One
said he did not feel it was worth his time. But the situation now
demands the time. Aiter a year's experience the impression is very
strong of the need of the pastors getting into this work. They have
the chance as never before of learning what the machinery is for,
and who is running it, and what is the trend of the teaching from
the very top to the bottom. They should not feel that they are out-
siders and have no concern for "the Sunday School crowd." Why do
many pastors belittle the State and county associations? They have a
tremendous influence on the local church, and if they are not properly
guided some of us will not like their influence. We note that an
attendant at the Kansas City convention says, "it required no very dis-
criminating ear to catch the influence of a group that is slowly sur-
rounding the Bible with what amounts to a competing body of religious
i()22. Religious Education. 119
education material, one speaker even declaring that the time has come
to change the bond from the Bible to the child." If that is done, we
will see a decrease of the amount of Bible studied, and a denial of
the value of memorizing it. And if such teachings sift down to our
counties, we will suffer spiritually and morally.
The faithful laymen in New Jersey who are giving soul and body
to this work have welcomed the merger and will welcome the minis-
ters. We ought to get our full quota of representatives at the Execu-
tive Committee meetings, remembering that many of the departments
of this work are headed by women and laymen, and that the com-
munity schools are bringing their curricula to our very church doors.
One of the burdens of this report, therefore, is to beseech the pastors
to attend the State and County Sunday School Conventions. Hence-
forth it is part of our own business.
Another merger which concerns us is the consolidation of the
Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work and the General
Board of Education. This union will not be effected until the next
General Assembly, and it would seem, therefore, that this Committee
should be continued for another year. We await the will of the Synod.
Meanwhile, it is apparent that the vital interests which come within
the view of this committee must not be allowed to suffer from neglect.
Religious education in the local church, as it has developed in the
last generation and as it is fostered by the Board of Publication, has
only a remote connection with religious education in our colleges, and
is so big and so vital a matter in itself as to merit the most careful
attention. We are not going to allow it to be smothered by ignorance,
or crowded into a corner by big speeches on religious education in
general. If one committee is to oversee both branches of the church's
educational work in this Synod, it will demand much time. We
should have a Synodical Superintendent of Religious Education, such
as some other Synods have, notably New York, under appointment
from the Board, and acting not as bosses but as workers.
In all this work let us submit ourselves to the gracious power of
the Holy Spirit, our great and only teacher. He will give the illumi-
nation and determination. In all the plans and processes of the
Church He alone can give life and feed life. May He quicken us to
see and feel the need of the children in our day, and empower us
to rescue the thousands who ought to be in our churches and are
growing up in unbelief and ungodliness. May He prompt us to can-
vass our communities with new zeal, and bring them into the Sunday
School, and give more money to the Board that is helping to canvass
the nation for them. May He baptize us with fire that we may give
ourselves wholly to the Lord Jesus to save the lost and train them
for His service!

New Era Committee. Oct.,
XIII.— REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON NEW ERA.
The twin ministries of promotion and co-ordination in the whole
Kingdom task of our denomination have been vigorously and unremit-
tingly prosecuted by the General Assembly's New Era Committee
during! ^he past year. Great spiritual objectives have been kept clearly
in view and a careful, painstaking adaptation of program and methods
to the various parts of the church has been essayed by the Committee,
which has held many meetings during the year to consider and pass
upon the important issues growing out of the work throughout the
Church.
A number of large and highly profitable conferences have been held,
and others are in course of arrangement. One of the principal group
gatherings was the Stony Brook Conference held in June, at which 250
persons were present, representing a wide territory and several branches
of the church, such as New Era Committees, Stewardship and Mis-
sionary Education directors and presidents of women's societies. A
number of useful ends are served by these convocations, such as the
dissemination of infonnation, the creation of zeal, courage and resolve
to imdertake boldly the carrying out of needed programs, and the
welding into a unified movement all the energies and purposes of the
church leaders who are in attendance.
An outstanding Synodical Conference was the one held in September
in Illinois, where a thorough itinerary of all the Presbyteries by teams
of Board representatives and field workers was arranged.
In our Synod, the Presbytery of West Jersey carried out, in the
early days of the present month, five group conferences with a view
to touching the local churches. These conferences were held at
Atlantic City, Cape May, Woodbury, Camden and West Collingswood.
Other Presbyteries might profitably carry out a similar campaign of
group gatherings to inspire and co-ordinate the best effort of the
churches.
The Division of Co-ordination in the New Era Committee has sent
out three of the Quarterly Packets already during the fiscal year.
These packets containing samples of the literature of the Boards and
Agencies are intended to give pastors and churches the opportunity
to look over all the literature issued by these agencies, so they may
be able to make an impartial selection of such as they think best
suited to their local needs. An interested, and careful examination of
the packets by pastors may bring great help to congregations in
reaching a higher efficiency in our Lord's work.
The Presbyterian Magazine has fully borne out the sanguine expec-
tations entertained concerning the quality of its contents. It is an
exceedingly high-class church organ and deserves the active co-opera-
tion of every church in the denomination. The subscription list ought
to be 100,000. Its visits are sure to make more interested, loyal, effect-
ive Presbyterians out of the rank and file of our membership. Every

pastor should seek to put on a concerted effort in his church to secure
subscriptions to the Presbyterian Magazine.
The Division of Promotion, through its statistical department, has
gathered a mass of suggestive facts which, if rightly considered, will
give clearness and force to the future direction of the evangelistic
and benevolent work of the churches. The stereopticon lectures now
in circulation are being revised so as to include the latest statistical
information.
The Stewardship Department is busily engaged in cultivating the
grace of consecration among our Presbyterian people. Mr. McCon-
aughy and his associate. Rev. Guy W. Morrill, are in great demand
for meetings of Synods and other gatherings. "You and Yours;
God's Purpose in Things," the new text-book on Stewardship, pre-
pared by Dr. Morrill, is now available. It aims to present a Christian
doctrine of property and will doubtless have a wide use among the
men, especially. Dr. Morrill has also prepared a fiverchapter course
for young people, entitled, "Life as a Stewardship." A series of ten
addresses by the Rev. A. F. McGarrah, called "Money Talks," is a
valuable contribution. For the women, there is a booklet entitled,
"Wonmn's Stewardship," and containing six studies from the view-
point of the home. A pamphlet has also been issued with the title,
"Stetvardship in the Women's Missionary Society," as well as four
devotional Stewardship services for use in the monthly missionary
society ; and a leaflet, "Stewardship Reading Contest." For the pastor's
use there is a pamphlet,"r/i^ Pastor's Pathfinder to Stewardship,"
which outlines complete plans for installing Stewardship in all depart-
ments of the church, and which is especially rich in homiletical
material. For yoimg people there has been prepared a Responsive
Stewardship Service and the dialogue "Farming Eden." For Juniors
there is now available an intimate interview with John D. Rocke-
feller, Jr., showing how he is bringing. up his children in Stewardship.
For the Men's Organizations there has been provided a pamphlet,
"If I Were a Layman," by Rt. Rev. Charles Fiske, D.D., Bishop
Coadjutor of Central New York. For the Sunday Schools the "Christ-
ian Stetvardship Prise Essay Contest" has been put on, particulars of
which may be found in the September issue of Everyone. The Presby-
terian Church is seeking to enroll 200,000 new "Comrades of Steward-
ship" this year. This work of enlistment in the fundamental relation-
ship and exercise of dedication of life and possessions to Him who is
the Giver of all is a work the blessed fruitage of which will abide
long after the forms of organizational machinery shall have been altered.
It is possibly the supreme emphasis of the New Era Movement.
Pastors, sessions and churches should take advantage of the present
tide of agitation by active co-operation with the General Assembly's
Stewardship directors in bringing their members into the actual prac-
tice of this blessed principle of the Christian life.

Moral Welfare Committee. Oct.,
XIV— REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OX MORAL WELFARE
The Committee notes with pleasure, on this, the Centennial Anni-
versary of the Synod of New Jersey, the splendid results achieved in
the State for God and righteousness, since its inception.
We cannot fail to appreciate the lordly services rendered by the
men who have gone to their eternal reward, whose names are revered
by us on this auspicious occasion.
Then, too, what a goodly number of valiant and consecrated minis-
ters and laymen whose names we do not know, loved and labored, in
the spirit of the Master, for a clean State and a redeemed people!
But of all the noble names of the past on Synod's Roll could you
find one that gleams more brightly from its pages than the Rev. E.
Kempshall, D.D.?
That name shall ever be identified with moral walfare and civic
righteousness.
There are some of us who still hear his vigorous protests in our
State Capitol against organized evil ; we see him pleading in our
cities for recruits in a crusade against sordid and self-seeking politicians :
we witness him standing in grim determination before a Governor and
in unmistakable language denouncing the race-track evil and the legisla-
tion that would permit so debasing and atrocious a spectacle. Did not
this hero of the cross, and those united with him, receive their inspira-
tion and courage from the same source?
And do not we rely on the same Eternal One?
"Thou wast their rock, their fortress and theic might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight ;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true light
Alleluia !
O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold.
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
.And win with them the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia !"
We have every reason to know that the great work of moral welfare
and reform is being carried on with commendable fidelity by the
brethren of our Synod to-day.
The Anti- Saloon League toils unceasingly to give us a State pledged
against the hydra-headed liquor interests, and all the evils that grow out
of this forbidden traffic.
.At this time, too, a word of praise should he spoken in behalf of
the Lord's Day Alliance, and its able Secretary, the Reverend Frederick
W. Johnson, D.D.
Dr. Johnson has rendered colossal service to the Church and State
in his campaign for a sane Sabbath. It has been no easy task, during
the fourteen years of his incumbency, to lead on and wage thirty-six
i)attles in the State Legislature against the foes of the Sabbath, and
to have won every victory.
19^2. Moral Welfare Committee. 123
The Interchurch Federation of New Jersey is in process of being
reorganized, and its executive committee has been aggressive in fighting
the prize-fight devotees of our State. A fine program was rendered last
summer which aptly illustrates the scope of the work, and to which
may be added the divorce evil, and the exhibition of unfit movies
We, desire also, as a Synod, to record our gratification at the recent
decision rendered by the Attorney-General of the United States rela-
tive to the i8th Amendment.
We note with pleasure in the paper referred to us by the Synod, that
the Post Office authorities are safeguarding the great moral interests
of our country by bringing to justice those who use the mail for im-
proper purposes thereby becoming violators of the law.
And now, in conclusion, as we are at the entrance of the New Century
in our Synodical life and work, and as we are confronted by manifold
opportunities, we may well carry in mind the advice of St. Paul, as
translated by Dr. Moff att :
"Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might; put on
God's armour so as to be able to stand against the strategems of the
Devil.
"For we have to struggle not with blood and flesh but with Angelic
Rulers, the potentates of the dark present, the spirit forces of evil in
the heavenly sphere. So take God's armour, that you may be able to
make a stand upon the evil day and hold your ground by overcoming

XV. -REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MEN'S WORK.
The Synod's Committee on Men's Work extends to Synod its con-
gratulations on its Centennial Anniversary, and wishes for it many
more years of increasing usefulness.
As many of the Presbyterial chairmen are members of the Executive
Council of the Presbyterian Brotherhood of New Jersey, our report
will deal largely with the activities of that body.
Five Council meetings have been held — and the Annual Convention
met, First Presbyterian Church Camden, on February 13th, 1922 — at
which time 179 delegates heard splendid inspirational addresses anJ
an exchange of working plans.
In five of the Presbyteries, Fall Conferences were held, these being
group meetings, with round table and addresses, and have proven help-
ful in stimulating the work. Men's work has been presented at stated
meetings in five Presbyteries and as a result Council members have been
asked to address churches, and men's organizations have followed.
About twenty-five new clubs have been added to our list during the
year — giving us a total of about 150 clubs, with membership of about
1,800.
Through the courtesy of The Presbyterian Magazine, an article was
published in its July number, telling the history of the Presbyterian
Brotherhood of New Jersey, and the way in which its work has been
carried on.
We regret to record the death of Mr. J. Fithian Tatem, of Haddon-
field, a former president and a valued member of Council, whose Christ-
ian zeal and good advice have been of great service.
We were sorry to lose the services of Drs. Cobb, Patterson and
Steele, whose able counsel and fine work will be greatly missed.
The Chairman has had the privilege of visiting at least one Brother-
hood in each one of our eight Presbyteries and finds the work in
growing and healthy condition.
Our next Convention will be held in Red Bank, on February 22, 1923,
to which all are invited, and urged to attend.
Because of the helpfulness of men's work to the local church and
pastor, we hope the time will soon be here when every church will
be the proud possessor of an organization of men dedicated to its
work.
We are grateful to our Father for His blessing upon our work,
and pray for a continued leading during the year.
Respectfully submitted

ig22. A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. 127
XVIII.— A CENTURY OF NEW JERSEY PRESBYTERIANISM.
By Prof. Frederick W. Loetscher, D.D., LL.D.
The Synod of New Jersej' celebrates to-day its entrance upon the
hundredth year of its existence as a separate judicatory of the Presby-
terian Church in the United States of America. It was called into being
by the act of the General Assembly of 1823, whereby the Synod of New
York and New Jersey, one of the four original Synods constituted at
the time of the reorganization of the Church in 1788, wasi, at its own
request, divided into the Sjmod of New York and the Synod of New
Jersey. It held its first meeting in the First Presbyterian Church of
Newark, on Octol)er 21, 1823, the Rev. Dr. John Woodhull, of Freehold,
preaching the opening sermon, and Prof. Archibald Alexander, of
Princeton, serving as the first moderator. It consisted of the four
Presbyteries of New Brunswick, Jersey, Newton, and Susquehanna,
comprising eighty-three ministers, one hundred and four congregations,
twenty-four licentiates, and twenty-five candidates for the ministry.
Your Committee having these anniversary exercises in charge has
asked me to speak to you on the subject, "A Century of Presbyter
ianism in New Jersey." In view of the general nature of this theme,
I need not detain you with any attempt to tell the rather complicated
story of the changing boundary lines of the Synod and its constitu-
ent Presbyteries. It may, however, be well at the outset to call atten-
tion to one outstanding fact in regard to the geographical extent of
this Synod, and that is that there never has been a time when its
limits coincided with those of the State whose name it bears. For on
the one hand, much of the territory included in this commonwealth
belonged, before the Reunion of the Old and New School Churches in
1870 and the then made reconstructions of Synods and Presbyteries,
to other ecclesiastical jurisdictions. It was not, for example, till 1843
that the extensive Presbytery of West Jersey, erected in 1839, was
transferred from the Synod of Philadelphia to this Synod. Moreover,
in the decades from 1840 to 1870 there were as many as twenty churches
within this State that belonged to one or another of six Presbyteries
that had their chief constituencies in New York and Pennsylvania, and
had no organic relations with this body. And during that same
period of the division of the Church, the large and important Presby
tery of Newark, that had cast in its lot with the New School Assembly
and was therefore disowned by this Synod, transferred its allegiance
to the Synod of Newark, and later that of New York and New Jersey.
And on the other hand, this Synod has throughout its history com-
prised large areas lying outside of this State. One of its four original
Presbyteries, that of Susquehanna, extended several hundred miles
into northeastern Pennsylvania and southern New York. In the latter
State, the Presbytery of Caledonia, erected in 1838, was divided into
the Presbyteries of Steuben and Wyoming, and these two bodies were
then attached to the newly erected Synod of Buffalo. But the Presby-
tery of Susquehanna, and also that of Luzerne, the latter created in
128 A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. Oct.,
1S43 and consisting mainly of churches formerly belonging to three
Pennsylvania Presbyteries, continued in connection with this Synod
till the reconstructions of 1870. And above all, we must here mention
the fact that the Presbytery of Corsico, organized in i860, on the
west coast of Africa, was, at its own request, taken that same year
under the care of this Synod, an event that has redounded ahke to the
usefulness and fame both of this venerable Synod and of this foreign
missionary Presbytery. And in the year 1904 the Synod was still
further increased by the attachment to it of the newly organized
/ Presbytery of Havana, which, though transferred in 1906 by the Gen-
eral Assembly to the Synpd of Florida, was by the same authority
restored the next year to its former place in this body. This has been
the last important change in the purely external features of our
Synodical organization; with the exception of the addition of this
one name to the list, the roll of our Presbyteries is the same to-'day as
it was in 1870: Corisco, Elziabeth, Jersey City, Monmouth, Morris
and Orange, Newark, New Brunswick, Newton, and West Jersey.*
In using the time alloted me, I propose to call attention to a number
of the salient facts in the historical record of this Synod that may, as
I trust, serve on this anniversary occasion to fill our hearts with grati-
tude to God for the way He has led us in the past, and to inspire us
with courage and fidelity as we look for His guidance and help in the
future.
I have been impressed, in the first place, witli the many evangelical
revivals, local and general, with which this Synod has been blessed.
These seasons of gracious refreshing have been confined to no one
period. In the long series of narratives dealing with the state of reli-
gion in the various Presbyteries, it would be difficult, if not impossible,
to point to a single year in which, whatever may have been the
depressing or discouraging features in some portions of our Synodical
territory, there was not cause for special thanksgiving in others. We
are not surprised to find some of these manifestations of the favor of
God to His people in the early years of the period under consideration.
For the opening decades of the nineteenth century had been one of
the brightest eras in the development of American Christianity. The
Churches were speedily recovering from the exhaustion, impoverish-
ment, and disorganization due to the Revolutionary War. The de-
* For the early history of the Synod, especially with reference to its Presby-
terial changes, the best authority is Ravaud K. Rodgers, D.D., A Historical Sketch
of the Synod of New Jersey: A Sermon preached at the Opening of the Synod
at Potts-JiHe. Pa.. October 15, 1861. (New Brunswick, 1861.) Cf, also the Rev.
Allen H. Brown's Outline History of the Presbyterian Church in IVest or South
Jersey, from 1700 to 1865, zwth an Appendix from 1865 to 1869 (Philadelphia,
1869); and his Historical Sketch of the Synod of New Jersey for the Quarter
of a Century from- 1861 to 1886 (Philadelphia, 1888). Dr. Allen has put all stu-
dents of New Jersey Presbyterianism under special obligations to himself by
reason of his indefatigable zeal in collecting fugitive literature dealing with this
subject, as well as by his many scholarly pamphlets on si^ecial phases of the
theme. At the request of the Synod, the Trustees of the Princeton Theological
Seminary have provided a special room in the Seminary Library for the safe
keeping of the records of the Synod (the manuscript Minutes extend from 1823
to 1889) and other materials pertaining to the history of the Synod.

moralizing influences of army life had spent thefir force. The frivol-
ous infidelity of the school of Voltaire, which some French officers
had done their utmost to popularize among the colonial troops ; the
shallow deism of men like Jefferson; and the shabby utilitarian ethics
of Franklin had given way to a deep and serious concern for spiritual
realities. Presently, from about the year 1795, when as yet to the
eye of little faith the whole situation seemed desperate, the so-called
Second Awakening, destined to become almost as general in its scope
and as remarkable in its effects as the Great Awakening which in the
days of Edwards, Whitefield, and the Tennents had ushered in the
Methodistic era in our history, began to spread its beneficent influence
from Kentucky to New England, energizing and fructifying with a
truly evangelistic spirit our own and other denominations for well
nigh a third of a century.
Here was the spiritual dynamic for that notable advancement of the
whole Christian cause in this country that took place in the twenty
years preceding, and the fifteen years following the formation of this
Synod. Whatever may have been the truth in the oft-repeated remark
that the Presbyterian Church was better adapted for service in the
parishes of a settled community than for work among the unconverted
on the frontiers of civilization henceforth aggressive and successful
evangelism was to be a striking characteristic of our denominational
hfe.
And the records of this Synod for a hundred years bear heartening
testimony to the fact that where pastor and people have been faithful
in the study and the closet and the field, the winning of souls has been
one of the many sure rewards. At one time, the divine grace comes
down like dew upon the herbage that maketh the pastures glad ; at
another, there are veritable showers refreshing the whole lanscape far
and wide.
It goes without saying that the churches of this Synod shared in the
blessings of all those general revivals of religion that affected large sec-
tions of our country. The Minutes for 1858, for example, fairly glow
with the ardor of praise for what God has wrought in these Presbyteries
during the memorable revival of 1857, that extraordinary movement
which owed its power to no single leader; which leaped over all sec-
tional and sectarian boundary lines ; which, according to the best esti-
mates, added a round million of members to the fellowship of the
denominations ; and which in the good providence of God came as a
gracious preparation of Church and State for the perils of the dread
conflict then looming on the horizon.
And .scarceh' was the war over, when another general revival set
in, and the year 1866 records one of the largest ingatherings in the
history of the Synod. Eight of our Presbyteries were signally favored.
In the little town of Princeton the two churches received one hundred
and ten members. Ten years later, in 1876, it was reported to Synod
that 4,518 persons — the largest number for a single year up to that
time — had been added on examination, most of them the trophies of
130 A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. Oct.,
special works of grace in the churches. Monmouth Presbytery alone
was credited with 974 additions, said to have been the largest number
for that year, in proportion to membership, of any Presbytery of our
denomination in the United States.*
/ In 1891, owing largely to the revival in Elizabeth and Newark
Presbyteries, the additions exceeded 4,000. In 1892, though the home
Presbyteries had nothing unusual to record. Corisco rejoiced in the
conversion of some 200 natives. And in more recent times, the
Presbytery of New Brunswick reported in 1916 about 2,800 accessions
on confessioti of faith, and the Presbytery of Jersey City 2,035. Particu-
larly gratifying are the frequent references in the earlier Minutes to
the revivals in those institutions of learning in which, as being within
its own bounds, and for other reasons, the Synod had a peculiar inter-
est, Princeton and Lafayette Colleges, and Princeton and Bloomfield
Seminaries.
But if one would breathe the very atmosphere of those joyous days
of thfe ingatherings of souls, one must leave statistical generalities and
enter the field, however small or secluded, of some faithful husband-
man, and hear from his own lips how, having done his part in planting
and watering, he was permitted in due season to rejoice in the God-
given increase. Here, for example, is a bit of testimony concerning
one whose name has long since perished from, the recollection of most
of us, but who amidst the beauty of his rural parish in old Pennington,
was greatly used of the Lord in the conversion of sinners as well as
in the edification of saints, the Re\^ Benjamin Ogden. "In the summer
of 1833," says his successor in the pastorate, the Rev. Dr. George Hale,
the historian of this Church and himself a great vdnner of souls, "the
word came with power. The hearts of believers were melted, back-
sliders returned, unceasing prayer was offered, mingled with praise, and
sinners were brought to repentance. Although it was in the midst of
the harvest, there was no hindrance. The farmers arose to their work
in the field at about three in the morning, and closed at noon * * *.
It was a time of great joy. As a fruit of this work, there was an
addition to the communion roll of forty-seven persons." And the
pastor himself testified : "Our congregation, when the operations of
the Holy Spirit first manifested themselves, was like Elijah's altar after
twelve barrels of water had been poured upon it. And as in his case
the Heavenly flame not only consumed the wood, soaked as it was with
water, but laid hold of the stones and the dust, and turned the very
water itself into fuel, so it has been with us. "We were surprised:
our hearts overflowed with love and gratitude and were affected with
a deep sense of unworthiness, whilst the astonished world looked on
with awe and reverence, and said, the Lord hath done great things
for them."t

It is but one voice of the many that might speak to us to-day of the
goodness and grace of our covenant-keeping God to our fathers in the
days of their pilgrimage. We might enter into parish after parish
and glean from its records the inspiring evidence that through the
hundred years of our history as a Synod the Lord has gloriously
vindicated his promise to honor His truth and to bless His people
through their faithful use of His appointed means of grace.
Another important feature of the Synod's history during these hun-j
dred years, is found in its noble achievement in the sphere of home
missions. Indeed, to quote two former members of this body who were
closely connected with this enterprise, "it may be fairly said that New'
Jersey was the first Synod that actually assumed complete self-support;'
that in simplicity and effectiveness her plan has not been surpassed
and that her success has given encouragement and suggestion to
others."* I can merely allude to some of the salient facts in this
engaging story.
At its very first session in 1823 the Synod appointed a committee "to
form a plan for constituting a Board of Missions under the superin-
tendence and care of the Synod," to send missionaries into the destitute
parts of this State and into that large section of Pennsylvania which,
as we have seen, was at that time, and which was to continue up to
1870 to be, a part of this Synod. This idea — ^the germ, we may regard
it, out of which our present plan of Synodical missions was to be
evolved — did not at once bear fruit, and the next year the Sj'nod voted
to co-operate, under certain conditions, with the New Jersey Mission-
ary Society. Meanwhile, too, individual Presbyteries and communities,
each after its own wisdom and in its own fashion, wrestled with the
problem. Thus in Princeton a movement was begun in 1827 to supply
every family in the State with the Bible, and to raise within two years
the sum of forty thousand dollars "for the support of missionaries and
the establishment of schools in the destitute parts of the State."t
The full amount was never raised, yet much good was accomplished
by the endeavor.
But a new epoch in the histor>' of home missions in this State began
in 1854, when the Presbytery of West Jersey appointed the Rev. Allen
H. Brown to devote his entire time to missionary work within its
bounds — "exploring the whole field, selecting suitable places for church
efforts, collecting money for the church edifices," and in general super-
vising the missionary services of the Presbytery. His activities were
later extended by the Synod into Burlington and New Brunswick
Presbyteries. After the reconstructions of 1870, which reduced the

missionary territory of the Synod by transferring the Pennsylvania
Presbyteries to their new jurisdiction, interest in the needy fields of
southern New Jersey was at once deepened.
In 1872 a Synodical Committee on Church Extension and Home
Missions was appointed, with Rev. Mr. Brown as its chairman — the
first of that distinguished series of able, devoted, and efficient leaders
who have served in that capacity. Two years later, this man of vision
and courage, as wise as he was zealous was chosen by the Committee
to be the Synodical Missionary. He was supported, not by the Board
of Home Missions but solely by the Synod. For twelve years — until the
dissolution of the Committee in 1886 — he fulfilled with conspicuous
success a veritable apostolate throughout our southern borders, some-
times traveling in the interest of the work 11,000 miles a year.*
Under his supervision, the Committee took the oversight and care of
the feebler churches, organized new ones where needed, raised a fund
of $io,o<X) to secure eligible sites and to aid in the erection of suitable
churches along the seashore. Presently, even in some of the most
needy fields, the vacancies were reduced to one-fourth of what they
had been, and ecclesiastical properties long neglected were saved and
again devoted to their appointed uses. An extensive Sunday School
work was fostered and many hopeful mission stations were planted.
With the more recent stages in the development of our Synodical
missions we are all sufficiently familiar. The present plan began to
take shape in 1883 when the Synod at the instance of the Presbytery
of West Jersey referred to its Committee on Church Extension and
Home Missions the resolution of the General Assembly of that year
which endorsed the suggestion of the Board of Home Missions that
"the large and wealthy Synods undertake the support of their own
weak churches."
In the discussion that ensued a more comprehensive idea gained
favor and after some opposition was at length cordially adopted,
largely through the persuasive leadership of the Rev. John Dixon, then
pastor of the First Church of Trenton — that instead of undertaking
merely to sustain its own weak churches, the Synod should take over
the entire support of home mission work within its own bounds, thus
relieving the Home Board of a considerable administrative task, but at
the same time pledging the continuance of Synodical contributions to
the Board. Thus in 1886 the new Permanent Committee on Synodical
Home Missions came into being — an agency which in the thirty-six
years of its activities has made its work a model of efficiency and success.
Fain would one dwell on some of the special features of this enter-
prise— the ever-increasing gifts to the cause of home missions, Synodical
and general ; the growth in the number of churches begun, and those
aided, and those enabled to attain self support; the adaptation of the
work to the twenty or more races of alien speech v/ithin our borders ;
the variety of organizations, agencies, and methods used in different
the Sixfli Aniuial Report of the Committee (1878), p. 9.
1922. A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. 133
parts of the field; the administrative and financial problems involved;
the supreme moral and spiritual values that give many a paragraph
in the Committee's Annual Reports a deep human interest and a quite
resistless appeal. Occasionally the record reveals something of unique,
not to say of world-historical significance, like the following brief entry
for 1909: "The First Ruthenian Presbyterian Church, not only of
Newark, but of the United States and probably of the world, was
organized during the year with over one hundred members, and six
elders." And more gladly still would one pause to speak a word in
praise of the many, living and dead who as Chairmen, Treasurers, or
members of this Committee, as Superintendents or missionaries under
its direction, as pastors or church members co-operating with this
agency throughout the length and breadth of the Synod, have done
their part to make possible this worthy contribution to the cause of
missions in the State and the nation.
But our time is limited, and as we turn from the consideration of
the Synod's notable achievement in this realm, the most obvious, as it
is still the most needful thing to say is that, splendid as the response
of the Presbyterians of New Jersey has been to the challenge which
divine Providence has given us in the very multitude and diversity
of the material and spiritual needs of the rapidly increasing popula-
tion of this commonwealth, our duty, or rather let us say our privi-
lege of service, is greater than ever. May the past accomplishments
in this sphere of home missions inspire us to still greater endeavor
and greater success in the future.
Again, the devotion of this Synod to the cause of Christian educa-
tion is worthy of special mention. In this respect, to be sure, our prede-
cessors in this body were not peculiar ; they were simply giving
expression to another of the characteristic traits of our Reformed
faith. From the very beginning Calvinism, with its insistence on the
right of private judgment and the sufficiency of Holy Scripture as the
rule of life, emphasized the importance of having a ministry thor-
oughly qualified rightly to divide the word of truth, and a church
membership well instructed in the sacred oracles and fitted by knowl-
edge and piety to serve God in its appointed callings. The family of
Churches to which we belong has never put a premium either on
sanctified ignorance or on unsanctified learning. In the First Book of
Discipline of the Church of Scotland it was declared expedient that
"every notable town" should have its college; while at the same time
provision was made for the preparatory work of the grammar school,
and the university was viewed as the crown of the public system of
education. And in our own country it was the Calvinistic Churches
that established our first colleges. It was to furnish a godly and well
trained ministry that Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, and Nassau
Hall were founded.
But while it is thus true that the Synod in its zeal for Christian
education was only illustrating anew one of the inherent principles of
134 A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. Oct.,
traditional Calvinism we may on an occasion like this fittingly remind
ourselves of the extent and influence of the service thus rendered.
; Particularly close were the relations with the College at Princeton,
the mother, it may fairly be said, of American Presbyterian colleges.
This designation, it is true, is not quite accurate. For from the first
the College of New Jersey was pledged by its charter to withhold
its privileges from no one on account of his religious beliefs; and of
set purpose it was placed under the supervision of neither state church
nor voluntary church. It has the honor, therefore, of being not only
the first university in this country which began as the college of more
than one colony, but also the first ecclesiastical free college in what
is now the United States. But one cannot peruse the Minutes of this
Synod, nor those of its immediate predecessor, the Synod of New
York and New Jersey, nor those of its oldest Presbytery, that of New
Brunswick, without being impressed by the noble solicitude of these
organizations for the college which was founded within their borders
under Presbyterian auspices.
Until a few decades ago, the Synod almost at every session received
reports concerning the number of students in attendance, the state of
religion and morals in the institution, and the need of additional
resources for the enlargement of the work; year after year it com-
mended the College to the favor of the Presbyteries and the churches,
and approved the plans adopted for the gathering of special funds
alike for scholarships and lor endowments. And throughout that long
period extending well through the first half-century of our history
as a Synod, during which many of the most eminent professors at the
College were Presbyterian ministers, the rolls of New Brunswick and
some of our other Presbyteries were adorned by names that gave a
national fame to this venerable seat of learning.
We also find in the records of the Synod frequent references to
Lafayette College, which, chartered in 1826, and located in what was
then a part of one of our constituent Presbyteries, that of Newton,
at once commended itself as a distinctively Christian inistitution
worthy of being supported by this Synod and the Presbyterian Church
at large, and which in 1850 entered into organic relations with the
Synod of Philadelphia.
But it is in connection with our two theological seminaries in this
State that the Synod's interest in the higher Christian education has
been most signally manifested. At its very first session in 1823 the
Synod took steps to carry to a successful completion the proposal
made by its predecessors, the Synod of New York and New Jersey,
for the endowment of the so-called "Sj-nodical Professorship" at the
Seminary at Princeton, then just entering on the second decade of
its history. And from year to year the Synod listened to reports con-
cerning the funds that were being raised for the Seminary, and con-
cerning the academic attainments and the spiritual welfare of the
students, and strongly commended this school of the prophets to the
i()22. A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. 135
moral and financial support of the Presbyteries, churches, and indi-
viduals. In 1843 it formally placed the Seminary alongside of the
Boards of Education, of Home and Foreign Missions, as one of the
four chief causes for which special offerings were to be taken every
year.
On many special occasions — notably the celebration in 1872 of the
semi centenary of Dr. Charles Hodge's inauguration as professor,
and that of the Centennial of the Seminary in 1912 — the Synod has
given suitable expression to its appreciation of the service rendered to
the Church, the country, and the world, by this our oldest Presbyterian
theological seminary. And as we think to-day of the learned and
devout men who from the days of the Alexanders and the Hodges
to those of Green and Warfield have so ably served the cause of
theological education in this institution, we may say with as much
fairness as pride, that no Synod* of our Church, and indeed no organi-
zation of any other denomination in our land, has ever had more
illustrious names on its roll of membership.
The German Theological School of Newark, established by the
Presbytery of Newark in 1869, and removed to Bloomfield in 1872,
has in this first half-century of its existence nobly realized the aim of ■
its founders — that of training ministers for service chiefly among
peoples of alien speech in our land. The Synod has kept in close touch
with this ever-expanding polyglot work, and has often heartily endorsed
and financially supported it, being thoroughly convinced of its neces-
sity and importance for the successful solution of some of our most
urgent problems in the field of Synodical home missions. It is a
notable but all too little appreciated service to the cause of Christian
and theological education that our Seminary at Bloomfield is render-
ing, and this Synod, which is so large a beneficiary of this ministry,
ought to feel itself under a special obligation to maintain and enlarge it.
Of unique interest in this connection was the academic experiment
made at Parsippany, in the Presbytery of Newark, in the first year of
the Synod's history— the first attempt, as our records put it, at an
"organized system for the moral improvement and education of the
free people of colour." Of historic significance, as showing the far-
reaching plans of our own and some of our other Synods, was the
earnest endeavor made about the middle of the last century to
establish a parochial school in every congregation, an academy in;
every Presbytery, and a college in every Synod, all these institutions
of learning to be under ecclesiastical control. The wisdom of th^
scheme was ere long questioned, but two important results issued from
it: the creation of a number of flourishing Presbyterial academies,
including seminaries for young women; and a deepening of the
popular interest in our public school system of .education.
We have been laying stress on some of the salient developments in
the history of our Synod during these one hundred years — its evaiige-
Hstic successes, its home missionary achievements, its contributions to
136 A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. Oct.,
the cause of Christian and theological education. But in the con-
sideration of a theme as comprehensive as ours we must not let our
interest in the few outstanding, the more or less distinctive, features
of the story hide from us the surpassing importance of those countless
other forms of service rendered bj' this Synod, which, though in no
sense peculiar, yet in their totality make up the great bulk of its
activities and constitute for it, as for any similar organization, its true
glory. The crown of our rejoicing to-day is that our Minutes afford
us such abundant testimony that through all these decades the members
of this body have proved themselves worthy Presbyterians, faithful
members of a Church which prizes the Gospel of. the glory of the
blessed God as her dearest possession, which recognizes no more
urgent duty or more precious privilege than that of making known
the unsearchable riches of Christ, and which in her application of the
truth as it is in Jesus opens wide her beneficent hands for every work
of faith and labor of love. The glory of the fountain is found in the
volume and might, of the river which flows from it, and as we survey
to-day the great stream of blessings that have issued from the humble
beginnings of this Synod a century ago, enriching this whole land and
extending to the very ends of the earth, we humbly thank God for
the waters of life that He has made to flow through these channels.
As we contemplate the steady growth in the number of our minis-
ters, our churches and our members, the marked increase in the
contributions to our Boards and agencies, in our gifts to hospitals,
orphanages, homes for the aged, Bible and tract societies, religious
and charitable institutions of every sort — amounting to over three
inillions of dollars for this last fiscal year; as we recall the command-
ing and often decisive influence which some of our leaders exerted in
the great controversies pertaining to the doctrine and constitution of
our Church; above all, as we try to estimate the religious and moral
values of the labors of that numberless host — ministersv eleders,
deacons, trustees, Bible school officers and teachers, devoted men and
women of all ages and of every walk in life — who in positions of
prominence or in the inconspicuous corners of the broad field of duty
have done or are doing their part as fellow laborers with the Lord
and with His saints of every land and clime, we cannot but express
our gratitude and joy that, whatever may have been our own or our
fathers' shortcomings, we have been permitted in the good Providence
of God, and enabled by His grace, to make our contribution as a
Synod to the advancement of our beloved Church, to the promotion
of that kingdom which consists in righteousness, and peace and joy
in the Ploly Spirit. To Him, in whose name and for whose sake and
by whose power these ministries of blessings to mankind have been
fulfilled, to Him be _all the glory and the praise.
With all this behind us, my friends, how shall we, as the heirs
and executors of this legacy of the first one hundred years of our
history as a Synod, meet the challenge of this new century which is
^
ig22. A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. 137
opening before us with its unprecedented world situations at home
and abroad? Well will it, be for us and for the Church we represent,
if our past will be to us not only an inspiration for service in the
days to come, but also a pledge that such service will be in harmony
with the best traditions of our past.
For one thing, our very history pledges us to loyalty to evangelical
truth, combined with liberty of thought and utterance within the
limits of our confessional standards. This is one of the chief lessons
of that disruption which divided this Synod, like the rest of our
beloved Church, into the Old and New School branches in 1838;
and many of our subsequent controversies have only served to empha-
size the validity and necessity of this double principle of loyalty to,
and freedom within, our ecclesiastical constitution. "The standards,
pure and simple" were finally made the basis of the Reunion of 1869,
and time and again our noble Confession has proved itself a bond of
union victorious over the spirit of strife and separation by the sheer
constraint of its sound doctrinal statements. Resolutely, then, let us
maintain, and faithfully let us teach, and sacredly let us guard these
standards, which fro'm the very beginning have expressed the true
genius of our denominational life by keeping us in close and living
fellowship with that written word which reveals to us the glory of
God in the Incarnate Word.
But let us also remember that the truth is for use, that use means
study and work; and that with these are bound to arise new views
of truth and new relationships alike for old and for new truth. The
questions for discussion to-day are obviously quite different from
those that used to be debated by this body in the early decades of
its history. The issue to-day is not between Presbyterians of this
school and Presbyterians of that school. Of course Arminians, like
the poor, are always with us; but our main controversy just now is
not with them. The fundamental question to-day is one that goes
much deeper; it touches the very source and norm of religious truth.
The inquiry is not primarily, what does the Bible teach? but rather,
what is the Bible? Of what sort is its inspiration and its authority?
Have we in Holy Scripture, or have we not, both a record of super-
natural events and a supernatural record of those events? Never has
the Church been called to grapple with a more difficult problem.
And there are just two ways of dealing with it: one is the way oi
judicial procedure ; and the other is the way of scientific scholarship.
No doubt, the proper church court may at any time pronounce its
verdict as to whether this or that statement violates our confessio'ual
declaration regarding the inspiration of the Bible. But such action
can neither settle the controversy nor even stop it. In a question of
this sort, involving as it does history, science, philosophy, and literary
criticism, we needs must leave the debate largely in the hands of the
specialists and the expert; and seeing that the discussion is just as
inevitable for the Church of our day, as it was impossible for the
138 A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. Oct.,
Church of any earlier period ; and, having all confidence that, as
in the past, so now, the Bible will vindicate itself anew as the Word
of God ; let us grant our leaders in this controversy the largest
amount of freedom consistent with our constitution as a Church, and
let us abide in the conviction, as secure as it is comforting, that the
whole issue will lead to our better understanding of the truth of our
evangelical faith.
Again, our history as a Synod pledges us to fidelity to our denomina-
tion and to a sympathetic cooperation with all sister evangelical
Churches. Certainly our fathers believed that in the order of divine
Providence our Protestant divisions have had a legitimate existence
within the Church universal; and most of us are convinced that even
to-day it is true that that denomination is likely to make the most
of its God-given opportunity wHich is most faithful to its peculiar
principles and its special traditions. But on the other hand, the more
recent history of this Synod^ as of our entire Church, and of Ameri-
can Christianity m general, reflects the widespread desire for a more
effective external expression of the essential unity of the Christian
Church. And though in the matter of the organic union of even the
most closely related of our Churches holding the Reformed faith, it is
best to try to make haste slowly ; and though our denominational
separations will probably keep our American Protestantism for some
time to come in what we may without disparagement call the colonial
stage of its development; we cannot but rejoice that the day of a
better ecclesiastical comity and a more efficient cooperation among
the Churches has now dawned; and as members of the Presbyterian
Church, than which none is more cosmopolitan in origin, or more
generous as to terms of membership, or more catholic in spirit,
we must, to be true to the best elements of our past, and
to be faithful to our present duty, remember that what we hold
as peculiar to ourselves is less important than what we hold in com-
mon with all Christians. We need to be in no haste about effecting
actual consolidation of like religious and ecclesiastical interests, but
the task of the Church universal at home and especially abroad is so
vast and so urgent that we should prove recreant to our trust, if we
should seek to administer it without securing the most effective
cooperation with all our sister evangelical communions.
And finally, our history as a Synod pledges us to a joyous trust in
God with respect to our future. The past with its achievements, its
victories its progress, its manifest tokens of the divine favor, is
secure. He who guided our fathers of old will be to their children
the pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night. Even as regards the
material resources of the state in which most of the territory of our
Synod lies, and as regards those providential mercies that are ours
by reason of our place in the sisterhood of cmr commonwealths, we
might with apostolic boldness affirm that if any other Synod thinketh
igzz. A Century of New Jersey Presbyterianism. 139
to have confidence in the flesh, we yet more — ^at least more than most
of our Synods.
The State of New Jersey^ with 406 inhabitants per square mile of
land area, is the third most densely populated State in the Union,
being surpassed by Rhode Island and Massachusetts only. In popu-
lation it ranked nineteenth in 1850; seventeenth in 1870; sixteenth in
1900; and ninth in 1917. Its increase in population in the decennial
period between 1900 and 1910, and again from 1900 to the present
time has been proportionately greater than that of any other State east
of the Rocky Mountains except Florida. Among distinctively indus-
trial States, New Jersey, owing chiefly to its exceptionally favorable
geographical position and its unsurpassed transportation facilities, has
a greater per capita value of factory and workshop products than
that of any other State, with the exception of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts ; and ever since 1850 it has ranked sixth in the absolute
value of its annual production of manufactured goods; while in the
diversity of its industries it has for almost three quarters of a century
stood first.
But not in these material considerations will we put our trust.
Rather with that same apostle will we acknowledge that we have no
confidence in the flesh, but are of those who worship by the Spirit of
God and glory in Christ Jesus. And as such let us forget the things
which are behind and stretch forward to the things which are before;
regarding the manifold blessings of the past and the present as a
compelling summons and a sufficient warrant to go forward with
the courage and the zeal born of the confidence, that no labor of ours
in the Lord can be in vain, and that our individual efforts and cnir
united service will, under the divine favor, contribute to that glorious
consummation of the age, when the kingdom of the world is become the
kingdom of our Lord and His Christ, and the host of the redeemed on
earth and in heaven will join in the song of praise and thanksgiving:
"Not unto us, not unto us, O Lord, but unto Thy name give glory."
