NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE.
liam T. Read Esq., who died January 27, 1873, was a highly respected citizen, a devoted, life long friend of Immanuel Church who had been a vestryman and warden for fifty-three years, and secretary of the vestry for more than thirty years; John Burnham, who died December 22, 1878, was a zealons churchman and vestryman, al- ways ready to bear his full share of work and responsi- bility; and Hon. George B. Rodney, a leading member of the Delaware Bar, and for many years a vestryman and warden of great influence in the parish, and a church- man whose judgment and advice was always valued in the affairs of the diocese as well as the parish, died June, 1883. Wmn. T. Read, Esq., by his will made a liberal bequest to the church.
John Sink, who had been sexton of the Church for thirty-two years, died on June 19, 1873, aged seventy-six years. Mr. Sink had some peculiarities of character, but no man in any sphere of life was ever more faithful to his duties. He was the typical sexton. He first came to New Castle as an attache of a circus and was fond of telling that he had "come to town on the back of an ele- phant. "
On the second of March, 1886, the Rev. Peter Baldy Lightner, then rector of Ascension Church, Claymont. was invited by the vestry to accept the rectorship in a letter under date of March 12th, Mr. Lightner with kindly expressions, announced that he was compelled to decline the invitation, whereupon a committee was appointed to visit him and ascertain whether his decision was irre- vocable. In a conference with the committee Mr. Light- ner expressed a desire to visit New Castle, conduct the services some Sunday and meet the people. The invita- tion to him to accept the rectorship was renewed, and on
I72
IMMANUEL CHURCH,
Sunday, April 4th, he visited the parish, conducted ser- vices, and by letter dated April, 5th, accepted the rector- ship of the parish and took charge of the same Easter- day, April 25, 1886. The congregation expressed much satisfaction at the acceptance of Mr. Lightner, and felt the assurance from his vigor, zeal and earnestness, that new life would come to the parish.
At a meeting of the vestry held April 7th. 1886, a committee was appointed to obtain and submit to the vestry, plans for a new rectory to be erected "at a cost not to exceed $4500," and it was resolved that the rectory should be built on the lot at north east corner of Orange and Harmony streets, which had been purchased for that purpose. As has been heretofore noticed the subject of building a rectory in the town had been agitated for many years.
By will probated January 23, 1865, Mr. Thomas W. Rogers, a venerable and honored member of the con- gregation, gave and bequeathed "to the wardens and vestry of Immanuel Church, New Castle, Delaware, and to their successors in office, the sum of one thousand dollars, in trust, to be expended in the purchase or construction of a residence in New Castle, aforesaid, for the use and benefit of the Rector of the said church." Mr. Rogers' executor paid over the legacy, and at once general interest was taken in the matter of a town rectory.
The fund was invested, and in various ways added to, until it had accumulated a sum of over $3000, at the time of the appointment of the committee above referred to. The lot upon which it was decided to build the rec. tory had been purchased at a cost of $2000 on October 28, 1872. The committee to submit plans for a new rectory, employed W. R. Farrell, an architect, who pre-

pared plans which were submitted to the vestry and ac- cepted by them, and a building committee appointed consisting of Messers Michael King, L. E. Eliason, J.E V. Platt and B. R. Ustick, and on June 2Ist that com - mittee was authorized to contract with Gardner L. Jem- ison to build the rectory. The work was soon com- menced and after much delay was completed late in the following winter at a total cost of about $6500 exclusive of the cost of the lot. During the next summer the rectory at the Glebe was put in thorough repair, and the cemetery fenced, through the liberality of A. C. Now- land Esq., at an expense to him of over $450. This hon- ored citizen and liberal friend of the Church died in February, 1888, and his death was deplored as a great loss to the parish.
At the diocesan convention in June, 1888, the great work of raising the sum of $30,000 by voluntary subscrip- tion as an addition to the Episcopal endowment of the diocese was started, and the Rev. Mr. Lightner was put in charge. Mr. Lightner devoted most of the summer to the work and by his remarkable energy and untiring zeal the end was accomplished, but not without great sacrifice of his physical health, so that by the advice of his physican he was compelled to take a trip abroad to re- cuperate. The vestry with much regret at the condition that required it, gave Mr. Lightner leave of absence for eight months. During the rector's absence, the Rev. Joseph S. Mayers, rector of Alford Parish, Dorsetshire, England, was appointed rector protem, and filled the office in a manner very agreeable to the congregation, but all were glad to welcome their pastor Mr. Lightner back again on his return in July.
On the 29th and 30th of December last a celebration of the bi-centennial anniversary of the founding of the
174
IMMANUEL CHURCH,
parish was held, consisting of appropriate religious services on Sunday the 29th, and on the evening of the 30th, an historical sketch of the parish was read in the Church in presence of the Bishop of Delaware, Bishop Morris of Oregon, the Rector, a committee of the Delaware Historical Society and a full congregation. Afterwards a reunion of the congregation was held at the rectory. On all these occasions there was a general expression of a renewed interest in, and devotion to the dear old Church.
On Tuesday, June 3, 1890, at 5 P. M., the Bishop, Rector and congregation, as well as a number of dele- gates to the Diocesan Convention, assembled on the lawn in front of the old rectory on the Glebe for the purpose of taking part in the consecration of the new Cemetery. Twenty-six Clergymen assisted the Bishop in the servi- ces, which were very solemn and impressive. A proces- sion of the clergy and congregation entered and moved around the cemetery repeating the 51st Psalm. Arriving under the trees near the north east corner, the congrega- tion gathered around the Bishop and Clergy, and the con- secration ceremony was performed by the Bishop. Very earnest and eloquent addresses were made by the Bishop, the Rev. Mr. Benson of St. John's Brotherhood, Oxford, England, and Rev. Mr. Lightner. After the blessing by the Bishop, the procession retired over the same course they had come, singing the hymn, "Brief life is here our portion."
A mission was held in the Church by the Rev. Henry Bedinger, of Calvary Church, New York, commencing Saturday Evening, September 20th, and closing Septem- ber 30th. The plain and simple but earnest preaching of Mr. Bedinger made a deep impression upon the congre-
175
NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE.
gation and upon the community. The attendance at the services increased day by day until the Church was crowded during the services near the close of the mission. The manner and matter of Mr. Bedinger's sermons were exceedingly effective, and he and his work will long be remembered. It is hoped and believed that the good accomplished will be lasting.
FINIS.
As I lay down my pen at the conclusion of this labor of love, after the journey through the past in gathering up the material for this history, the associations connec- ted with the old Church crowd upon my mind. For nearly seventy years the beautiful spire has held aloft in the view of the world the symbol of our faith; and for nearly two hundred years this building has been devoted to the worship of almighty God. I think of the long line of holy men who have here preached the Gospel of Peace; of the many weary and heavy laden who have here in prayer and meditation laid their burdens at the feet of Christ; of those now sleeping in the church yard, whose sweet voices in anthem and hymn have echoed from these walls; of the loving fathers and mothers who, in all these years have brought their little ones and placed them in the arms of the good priest to be signed with the sign of the cross. Many times too, these walls have heard the glad sounds of wedding music, when, at
176
IMMANUEL CHURCH.
the chancel rail the strong man and tender maiden, have plighted their troth and walked out into the world filled with
"A thousand restless hopes and fears, Forth reaching to the coming years"
and then, of the many many aching and bleeding hearts who have here given up their dead. Where are the actors in those scenes? The peaceful mounds in the quiet church yard answer.
"How sweet it were, so near the sacred house Where they had heard of Christ and taken his yoke, And Sabbath after Sabbath gathered strength To do his will, thus to lie down and rest
Close neath the shadow of its peaceful walls"
