of the pulpits of New York and Brooklyn. In 1864, declining a unanimous call from the Presbyterian church of New Hart- ford, N. Y. (near Utica), he took charge of that church for one year. His ministry was largely blessed, but, still pursuing his studies, he parted reluctantly from this church, which had in- creased fifty per cent. in membership, and took charge of the First Presbyterian church of Leroy, N. Y., for six months. This church retained his services for three years, during which time a heavy debt was paid, a new church was built and paid for, and its membership also increased one half. In 1867 he travelled extensively in Europe, acting as commissioner to the Evangelical Alliance, which met that year at Amsterdam in Hol- land. In 1868 he was called to the pastorate of the First Pres- byterian church, of Erie, Penn., over which he remained three years, when he accepted a call to the Central Presbyterian church, a new organization in the same city. This church, which began with fifty-four members, doubled in its first year, and continued to add one hundred per cent. to its membership annually, with regular increase, until the present time, occupy- ing a noble stone edifice not yet completed, becoming the largest church in the city, and widely known for its zeal and efficiency.

eight children, and worked upon the farm until the age of 21. In 1842 he was baptized into the fellowship of the First Bap- tist church of his native town. He commenced preaching in school-houses in his own town, under the direction of his pas- tor.
