THE RECORD.

THE OBJECT

OF THE RECORD is such as to lead to the belief that many will gladly give it their en- couragement. It desires especially to gather and preserve much that in fading of the early history of the town and county, to perfect our Church rolls, and to awaken an interest in the important events and noble men and women of the past. The history of the First Church prior to the year 1800 is largely the history of the town. The state- ment will doubtless surprise all that prior to the year 1800 over 10,000 names appear upon our records. We deem it of the greatest im- portance that these names should be put, by means of the printed page, beyond all danger of destruction. THE RECORD refuses to make any money, but it must pay expenses, or cease publication at the end of the year, and before it has had the time to fulfill its mission. We therefore ask the aid of all who appreciate the importance of our work, and will be especially thankful to the press for any kind words which will make THE RECORD known to the thousands in our land descended from those whose names we hope to print.

NEW YORK. January 9, 1880.

Rev. Rufus S. Green :

DEAR BROTHER .- I congratulate you and the good people of Morristown on the issue of the first number of your church paper. In the ancient records of the old Morristown church, as I have had occasion during the past Summer to ascertain, are found state- ments of facts and registries of events of no little interest to the old families of your town and its immediate neighborhood.

It must be of interest to know who were the founders of these old families ; who were their wives-when they were married ; who were their children -- when they were born and baptized, and whom and when they, too, married. So, too, it is desirable to know when they connected themselves with the church, under whose ministrations, and whether by profession of faith or by certi- ficate from other churches. Nor less to know when, and at what age, and of what disease, these forefathers and foremothers of the hamlet died. The story of that popu- lous cemetery in the rear of the old church

is told in part in the two editions of your Bill of Mortality, from 1768 to 1812, a period of more than forty-three years. But the book itself belongs to the past; it is rarely to be found except in public libraries or in the collection of the antiquarian. Your paper will help to make its treasures the common property of the people. And then, what of the dead who preceded 1768, and passed away since 1812 ?

A medium of communication between the pulpit and the pew is very desirable; the pastor has many things to say, many in- quiries to make, much information to com- municate, for which a monthly or bi-monthly is better adapted than the pulpit. The his- tory of the time-honored church over which Johnes and Richards and Fisher and Mc- Dowell and Barnes, noble and illustrious men all, presided with so much credit to themselves and profit to the people, is worthy of a permanent record. The mate- rials are ample ; many of them are scattered about among the unpublished letters and diaries of the generations gone by, and in the unwritten traditions of the past. What a thrilling episode was the repeated winter- ing of Washington and his Generals with their regiments in and about Morristown ! What vivid and thrilling recollections mnay still be gathered up and put on record for unborn generations, of the great revivals of other days. The humble periodical, the first number of which now goes forth in promise of many more to come, may prop- erly be made the medium of gathering these and a thousand other precious memories of the past to aid the historian in his work.

And the people, too, have inquiries to make, information to gain, long-sought but in vain, respecting their ancestry, their kin- dred, their former neighbors. Here is a vehicle by which they may seek to gratify long-cherished desires.

The uses to which such an humble period- ical may be put are too many to be enumer- ated in the brief space allotted to this arti- cle. Let the means for keeping it up not be wanting ; it is a good design ; a blessing is in it. With God's favor it will surely prosper.

Yours truly,

EDWIN F. HATFIELD.
