A. D. 1731-October IIth. At a general meeting of the Church Council it was resolved that Lucas Stedham should have possession of Jonas Stalcop and his wife's pews as Lucas Stedham has bought them of Jonas and gave of his good-will 45 shillings.
October roth. - The pastor Herr Magister Samuel Hessellius preached his valedictory sermon in the church at Christina and after the close of Divine service the Church Council submitted their names to the following letter to His Royal Majesty in Sweden as follows,
Most Mighty All-gracious King:
No greater favor can a pious authority grant to an expatriated people than your Royal Majesty has graciously accorded to us strangers here in America. We have not lacked whatever has been necessary to our souls culture and welfare more than if we had tarried in our old Fatherland Sweden. Godly books and pious teachers have we time after time by your Royal Majesty been graciously blessed with, so that the people of other denominations here in the country have looked upon us as peculiarly fortunate. May God grant that we may not hereafter miss this great prosperity.
As it was your Royal Majesty's will to call home the pastor of the church at Christina Magister Samuel Hessellius who for 12 years has discharged the office and
346
RECORDS OF
duties of pastor over us, he is now about to take his departure for Sweden.
Therefore as members of the Swedish church, we give him the testimony that he has fulfilled his trust faithfully, being zealous for the spreading of the pure evangelical doctrines both near and far, and hardly any one in our judgment could take more in hand and bring it to a better result than he has done.
He has also in his daily life as his position required, conducted in a pious and God-fearing manner, and es- tablished a good name and reputation. Moreover we have the opinion that if he could be stationed at a place where tobacco can be cultivated, he might be of much use to the Fatherland, as he has made himself well acquainted here in the parts which it is raised, and has studied its cultivation. We request your Royal Majesty that he may be soon provided with a situation, because he has to provide for a large family, and will with the long and expensive journey come with empty hands to his destined place.
And for this as for all other Royal favours we have nothing to give but earnest prayers to God for your Royal Majesty's welfare, for which we will faithfully implore the great God so long as we have life and breath.
Your Royal Majesty's most submissive and humble servants, and faithful intercessors. Church Council at Christina:

A letter to the Highworthy Herr Bishop, which the church council subscribed the same day at the church at Christina as follows:
Highworthy Father Herr Doctor and Bishop, Very gracious patron,
We present to the most worthy Father this our humble writing as a testimony to our pastor in Pennsylvania, in America, over the church at Christina, Magister Samuel Hessellius as to teaching and life. As to his teaching he has God's Holy word plainly and clearly explained and set forth to our entire satisfaction, and administered the Highworthy sacraments in their unfalsified use in accordance with the evangelical teachings. He has none the less been unwearied though it has cost him many laborious journeys also, to deal out God's word among those who were desolate and scattered.
As to his life he has maintained the true character of a Priestman in all respects, and it cannot be doubted that he will in process of time show himself to be pos-

sessed of the good qualities that we have ascribed to him as soon as he shall be promoted to the care of a church in his Fatherland, and now we commit both him and ourselves next to God to the Highworthy Father's protection, with earnest prayers to God for the High- worthy Father's welfare, remaining

himself to us the commissary and missionaries in the Province of Pennsylvania for our approbation of his return home without staying any longer for his Bishop's direction for that purpose which direction we find His Majesty of Sweden was graciously pleased to order to be issued out and sent by the first opportunity. We, taking our poor brother's circumstances in consideration and knowing that he has sold his household goods to prepare himself for his voyage and how little encour- agement he has to continue here, and we being likewise willing he should pay all possible defference to his Sovereign's Royal mnandate which we saw well attested and without reflecting that the Bishop's extreme old age for which it is hard that another should suffer, might be the occasion that the said mandate was not duly executed, or that the Bishop's letter in pursuance of the said order might miscarry, do for these reasons heartily acquiesce in and as far as in us lies, freely ap- prove of the said Mr. Hessellius' leaving these parts in order to enjoy the kind intentions of his Royal Prince's express command to his Right Reverend Bishop, assur- ing ourselves that his conduct in this particular cannot offend any save those who do not desire to see him pre- ferred according to his merit and virtue. And that we do more cheerfully agree to, for that the brethren the Swedish missionaries here have engaged themselves not to have his congregation desolate in the interval betwixt his departure and the arrival of his successor, and now recommending him to the protection of Almighty God, we beg that the most favoroble construction may be put upon his going home, though in every circumstance it be not so strictly regular as he himself could wish it were; and we pray also that the Honorable Society for propagation of the Gospel, etc. in whose service he has

Philip Vandever, Lucas Stedham and Hendrick Colesberg.
3. Jonas Walraven and Olle Tossowa were chosen Churchwardens.
4. Anders Gustafsson was chosen sexton at a salary of one shilling for each family.
5. Repairing the church on the north side and the windows which need repair.
6. That for each corpse buried in the churchyard, not being a member of the congregation, there shall be charged 4 shilling, 6 pence, and the pastor shall have in addition his usual pay for his services, and the sexton is ordered not to admit any corpse into the church yard without the knowledge of the pastor.
7. Simon, at Brandywine ferry, must pay for two bodies interred in the churchyard, viz: 9 shillings, which Mr. Springer promised to empower the Church- wardens to collect for the church income.
8. That William Klenny should pay mne for the burial of Samuel Stedhain's son and for Asmund Stedham's burial, 9 shillings.
9. As to my salary, that it ought to be paid in two half yearly payments, May and November, at the session of the court at New Castle.
Ioth. Mr. Springer offered to collect this year's salary for ine.
N. B .- These two points, to receive iny salary at the New Castle sessions, and Mr. Springer to be collector, were not presented, for the reason that I understood that the congregation were not satisfied that I should have my salary in advance, as I had asked for the past year, so I concluded to ask for my salary at the end of the year, and announce from the pulpit on the Sunday before the November session, that I did not ask for any salary

before the due time. Notwithstanding it had been resolved and consented to at the Parish meeting of the 24th of January that it should come in at the session, for the reason that all had not paid ine for the year I left Philadelphia when the Christina congregation had no pastor.
And so I will let the congregation show its willing- ness to pay me without burdening Mr. Springer.
Jonas Walraven and Olle Tossawa resigned as Church- wardens after serving two years, and Anders Hindrics- son's Son and Peter Petersson Jr., took their places May Ist, 1735, and served one year, till Ascension day 1736, when Jacob Stille and Garrit Garritsson were chosen.

June 17th. Mârten Justis resigned as Churchwarden, and Hans Smith was chosen in his place.
