From that time the congregation was supplied in part by the presbytery, and sometimes by preachers of other denomi- nations, and sometimes by preachers of strange doctrines, until October, 1807. Then your present pastor, who was a licen- tiate of the Berkshire Association, Massachusetts, and who had put himself under the care of the New-York presbytery, com- menced preaching here half of the time for one year. He received a call from the congregation to become their pastor, September 25th, 1808, and was ordained and installed in De- cember following. On careful inquiry it was found that the church consisted of thirty-five members at the time he com- menced preaching here ; twelve of whom were widows, and only three of the thirty-five now remain. Between that time and September 9th, 1832,

Other men have labored, and we have entered into their la- bors. In reviewing the past, we see that an important glory has been shed around the former house. It may be said, this and that man were born there. It may be considered as having been the birthplace of many souls. Living waters have issued as from the door of that house which may yet cause many dead to live. A foundation is laid for the instruction of the rising generation.
16
Many have come forward as Sabbath school teachers, and are communicating instruction with commendable zeal to more than three hundred children.
Some are on missionary ground, among the lost sheep of the house of Israel ; two are employed in preaching the gospel ; and three others are attending to preparatory studies. Many have gone into new settlements, and are employed in building up other churches. Surely the former house has been a great blessing. No property was ever better invested than that which has been spent in erecting it, and in furnishing it with the instituted means of grace. Not one now regrets having done so much. No, if the contributors were even lost, they would not regret that they had left so important a means of prevent- ing their posterity from coming to that place of torment.
Have they gone to heaven, as we trust a goodly number of them have, what a source of rejoicing they have when per- mitted to look down and see, or to receive intelligence that their children's children, one after another, and sometimes several of them in quick succession, are gathered into the king- dom of Christ. They can see in this how it is that a good man leaveth an inheritance for his children's children. How could they have invested stock to so good advantage ? In what way could they have secured so important a good to unborn generations ?
We are to consider some reasons which we have to hope and pray and believe, that the prophecy in the text will have an accomplishment in regard to this latter house.
· When it was fully ascertained that the old house was too much decayed to justify its being repaired, the people seemed to say almost with one voice, " let us rise up and build." "So they strengthened themselves for this good work :" many came forward with a liberality worthy of so good a cause, and sub- scribed their full measure, and had it been in any other cause, we might say beyond their measure. But I presume they will be the last to complain of having done too much. Some may still intend to increase their subscription, and some may have reserved theirs to aid in the final payment. Each may intend the best interests of the church. Nor is it of so much conse- quence about the manner if the work is done. We trust that
17
those who are friendly to the cause of Christ will not suffer this time of doing good to pass unimproved.
The house, independently of some out-door improvements, is finished, and by the good providence of God we are now permitted to enter it : though it is what I ardently desired, I had scarcely expected to see. It is a noble building. It is neat, and with right management, will be found sufficiently spacious for our accommodation.
There may be things which may be subjects of remark, ac- cording to the different tastes of individuals, but it is doubtful whether we should generally be better pleased if every indi- vidual could make the alteration which he pleased. The build- ing committee deserve much credit, and will doubtless receive the thanks of the congregation. The building itself is a suffi- cient encomium on the contractors and workmen. The house affords a much better appearance than we had expected : it is made of such durable materials, that under the care of the Shepherd of Israel, we hope it will stand for a long time to come. The building itself is far superior to the former house : it does honor to the cause of Christ. It tells the passing tra- veller, that the living God is worshipped here. That many of the people here are agreed in rendering honor to whom honor is due, and in seeking instruction at the feet of Him who spake as never man spake.
What a different character would a theatre give to the place ? And what a different character would any other building give, which was designed for some temporal purpose ? What a differ- ent language would a monument speak, which was erected to perpetuate the memory and exploits of some great warrior, or the noble deeds of some distinguished statesman ?
It is the more honorable to God, as every part of it is so constructed that those who meet here with a view to attend to the instructions of God's word, may be accommodated in the best manner with nothing unusual to divert their attention from the great object before them.
We hope and pray and believe that this house will be far more glorious than the former, because greater privileges will be enjoyed ; more means will be used, christians in their re-
3
18
spective places will be more active, and all of their efforts will be attended with a more immediate divine agency.
It may be expected that more means will be used. So long indeed as your present pastor is continued, it is not probable that you will receive from him as much active service as you have received in some years past. But if I am not mistaken, a young generation has connected themselves with the church who will more than supply any deficiency of their pastor. They are forming themselves into Bible classes, they are begin- ning to dig into the rich mines of the gospel, and to store their minds and hearts, I trust, with the most invaluable treasure. They are, at the same time, ready to communicate and are com- municating instruction to the rising generation in the Sabbath schools. We have strong hopes that they will continue to be more active and efficient laborers than their fathers and mothers before them. The number too, is now so great, that with the effort which I trust they are willing to make, every child in the congregation may be instructed in the Sabbath school. They can go to different houses and persuade parents to send their children, and persuade children to attend to religious instruction. The very pebbles may thus become polished stones in the spir- itual temple of the Lord. Every faithful christian can and will do much to promote the important work. Much may and I trust will thus be done which no minister could do. Thus it may be expected that the spiritual temple will be enlarged and beautified, and this house be filled with more spiritual worship- pers than the former. Every christian who is properly engaged in the Lord's work, will be a more distinguished christian than he could be, if he were not thus engaged, and at the same time be instrumental in promoting the salvation of others.
It augurs well for the junior members, that they are begin- ning to do something in the distribution of tracts. Though something has been done in this business before, it is only within a few weeks that the business of monthly distribution has been entered upon. It may be expected, that they will enter upon all of the benevolent enterprises of the day, and show that they have a mind to work. There appears also a disposition to look to God and depend on him for help. It may therefore be expected, that he will give success to their efforts.
19
Again : the time has arrived for the more rapid advancement of the cause of religion, and when it shall pervade the whole world, and therefore we may expect that this house will be more glorious than the former, by being filled with more spir- itual worshippers.
We see this by the signs of the times, and by the means which are put in operation for the accomplishment of such an event. When we see a great machinery put in operation, we conclude that some important work is to be done, and espe- cially if the builder is a wise man, and able to carry on the work which he has designed. But God is powerful, and wise, and has put in operation a mighty machinery-bible societies ; education societies ; missionary societies ; and sabbath school societies ; and indeed some means to operate on the moral sense of mankind in every possible way, and upon all nations, and all classes of people. These are means which he has de- signed for the conversion of the world. These means he has of late greatly blessed, and made the power of God and the wisdom of God unto salvation, to many souls. The extraordi- nary revivals which have been taking place of late, show that the Holy Spirit has indeed come according to promise, and is convincing sinners of sin, and leading them to Christ.
Moreover, we have reason to believe, that God is about to accomplish some great work, by the judgments which are abroad in the earth. Says Isaiah (26.9.) " When thy judgments are abroad in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." That prophecy by Zechariah, which had its first accomplishment when Christ came in the flesh, is having another accomplishment. " And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die, but the third shall be left therein ; and I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is re- fined, and will try them as gold is tried ; they shall call on my name, and I will hear them : and I will say it is my people, and they shall say the Lord is my God."
The judgments which are removing some to heaven and sinking many in endless ruin, are wonderfully calculated to wean the hearts of God's people from things earthly and sen- sual, and to make them more spiritual and engaged christians,
20
and to open the eyes of sinners upon their danger, and to lead them to see the necessity of fleeing to the ark of safety. God is thus preparing the way for the millenium.
The general tenor of the prophecies teaches us to expect such a state of things just before the millenium. The beast and the false prophet must be overthrown, and all who are directly or indirectly connected with them. The empire of sin must be demolished, and the determined enemies of Christ be brought and slain before him. High things must be brought down and the low exalted. Every one who so exalts himself, that he will not submit to be governed by the laws of Christ's house, will be brought down; while those who manifest the spirit of teachable and obedient children, will be raised up. What in the providence of God could be more immediately calculated to bring about such a state of things, than those judgments which are abroad in the earth ? How do enemies tremble at such a time, and how careful are friends to adhere more closely to their heavenly friend and protector ? The voice of God's providence serves to awaken many to listen to the voice of his truth, and brings them to tremble at his word.
We may confidently expect that with the divine blessing, the judgments of God will have these effects. If it is necessary they will be repeated. Those who survive will pass as through a furnace, that they may be purified as silver. In this way we may expect that this house will be more glorious than the for- mer, by being filled with more spiritual worshippers.
Again : It may be expected that this house will be more glorious than the former, by being honored with the more spe- cial and immediate presence of Christ. If where two or three are assembled in his name, he will be present; and if where two or three are agreed as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be granted ; may it not be hoped, that the united prayers of the many that may be assembled here, will call down rich and abundant blessings ? May it not be expected that in answer to these prayers, the Holy Spirit will dwell here by his convincing and converting influences ? We cannot but hope that this house will be the birth-place of many who shall live to see the full blaze of millenial glory, when all shall know the Lord. God is now shaking the nations, and the desire of
21
all nations will come, and then indeed this house will be far more glorious than the former.
This house we now consecrate to the worship and service of Almighty God. These walls, these seats, this floor, these galleries, this desk, this altar, this whole house with all that pertains to it, we now dedicate to Jehovah, Father Son and Holy Ghost. * Here may he record his name, and make it indeed the house of God and the gate of heaven ; and here may he dwell forever.
Nothing is henceforth to be transacted here, except those things which immediately tend to promote the honor, and ad- vance the cause of Christ. This is to be considered as holy ground. May the Great Head of the church drive out every thing that would defile this sacred place. When we approach it, let us remember that we are going to the house of God, and let us consider well the words of the wise man, " keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they consider not that they do evil." "Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter any thing before God ; for God is in the heavens and thou upon earth, therefore let thy words be few."
Let none come here to speculate on business, or politics, or to lay plans for amusement, or even for social visits.
" Say to the world be gone, Let my religious hours alone."
The solemn dedication of this house to God, we however consider as consistent with such a disposition of the seats as to raise a sufficient support for the gospel. Those who pur- chase seats, procure a share in this holy stock, and have the privilege of binding themselves to the payment of a certain annuity, in order to provide the bread of life for themselves, and for all who desire to be fed with the provisions of God's house. It may be convenient, in many cases, for two or more families to unite, as they did in some cases, to keep the pass-
* During the protracted meeting which was held at this time, one gave public thanks for having been hopefully born here, and a number of others were awakened.
22
over. But these regulations do not exclude any who are not able either to buy or to hire seats. Many will indeed provide for themselves comfortable seats, but even those seats have no doors to exclude any one from the bread of life ; no ! the open seats bid a hearty welcome to the poor, to come and take without money and without price. No one ought to feel any more embarrassment about coming to this house, than he would in going to a neighbor's house, when he had opened his doors and given a general invitation to all to come and hold a religious meeting with him.
But who that can, will not invest property in this sacred stock ? Those who did it in the former house, do not regret it ; but those who have shares in this house, we trust, will se- cure a still greater good to the present and future generations ; a good which will be felt to the end of the world and to eternity. I had rather have my name enrolled among the builders and proprietors of this house, than among any of the records of fame. With what interest do you hear the names of the signers of our constitution ? With much more interest will your pious descendants read your names in the records of this congrega- tion !
Here let me add a word of caution. Let us be one. Let no root of bitterness be suffered to spring up and trouble us. Let every envious feeling be suppressed. Let no one ask, who shall be greatest. How pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity. He that holds the lowest place, if he has done what he could, and cherishes the spirit which said, " I have learned, that in whatsoever situation I am therewith to be content," holds a high place in God's account, and in the account of all good people. So far as I know, a good spirit has thus far prevailed. Let brotherly love be cultivated in every breast as a plant of heavenly origin ; and we may confidently expect to realize the blessedness pronounced in the text : " The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of Hosts, and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of Hosts, Amen." And let all the people say Amen.
THE
CONFESSION AND COVENANT
OF THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN ROCKAWAY, N. J.
IN the presence of the Eternal God, and of his people, you present yourself to be received into the communion of this church. Previously, however, to your being thus received, your cordial assent is required to the following summary of christian doctrine.
1. You believe there is but one God, the Creator, Sustainer and Governor, of all worlds and creatures. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and that these three are one in essence, equal in power and glory.
2. You believe that the scriptures of the old and new testa- ment, are the revealed word of God; that they are the only revelation which God has given to his church ; the only one to be expected, and that they contain a perfect rule of faith and practice.
3. You believe the scriptures teach us that our first parents were created holy; that by their voluntary act they sinned against God and incurred his merited wrath ; that in conse- quence of this disobedience, all their posterity are totally depraved.
4. You believe the scriptures further teach, that God in infi- nite mercy has provided a way of salvation through the media- tion and death of his Son Jesus Christ, who is verily God ; that - Jesus Christ is the only Savior ; that he is both able and wil- ling to save all who will repent and believe in his name.
24
5. You also believe the scriptures teach us, that it is absolutely necessary to receive and rest upon Christ as a Savior from sin and wrath, in order to become interested in his mediation ; and that men are naturally so averse to holiness, and so in love with sin, that no one ever will love God, repent of sin, and receive and rest upon Christ as a Savior, until his heart is renewed by the Holy Spirit.
6. You believe, that at the end of the world there will be a general resurrection, a day of judgment ; that Christ will then sit as judge, and will punish the finally impenitent and unbeliev- ing with endless misery ; and that he will receive the righteous into his kingdom, which is everlasting, and into joys which are eternal.
[To this summary of christian doctrine you cordially assent.]
25
COVENANT.
You do now, in this public manner, before God, angels, and men, cheerfully avouch Jehovah, Father Son and Holy Ghost to be your God, your Father, your Redeemer, your Sanctifier, and your portion.
You take the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the rule of your conduct and the measure of your faith.
You do now renounce the world, and sincerely embrace the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, and the object of your highest love ; and you rest your hope simply on him to pardon your sins, and by his Spirit to strengthen you for duty, to deliver you from every remaining corruption, and finally to present you without spot or blemish before the throne of God.
You profess that it is the will and purpose of your heart, to live a holy, humble, prayerful and devoted life ; to maintain the purity of your christian profession, and to be an example to those who are without, that they, seeing your good works, may glorify your Father who is in heaven.
You promise to keep holy the sabbath day, to attend public worship, to observe the Lord's supper, regularly to maintain closet and family devotion, and indeed, endeavor to do your duty in whatever station Providence may place you.
You do likewise covenant, that you will submit to the order and discipline of this church, so long as you are continued a member thereof ; that you will kindly give and receive admo- nition ; and that you will in all things treat your brethren with that tenderness and fidelity which becomes the disciples of Christ, and brethren of the same household.
Thus you solemnly covenant and promise.
[Here baptism is to be administered.]
Having thus engaged and promised, and having received the sacrament of baptism, this church stretches forth the hand of fellowship, and this day invites you to unite in the breaking of bread and in the pouring out of wine.
