16. POTTERSVILLE .- The church at Pottersville originated from a desire to obtain the means of grace in a locality which had been deprived of them. The inhabitants of that beautiful rural little village had no church within a convenient distance. Mr. Sering Potter, the proprietor of the mills to which the village owed its existence, felt the deprivation to which all were subjected, and with his sons and others moved in the matter of providing a church.
The first meeting was held in the district school-house on the 9th of October, 1865. The object was to prepare a memorial ad- dressed to the Classis of Raritan, praying for the organization of a church under their care. At this meeting, Rev. Henry P. Thompson, of Peapack, was present as adviser. This memorial, dated October 10th, 1865, was presented to Classis at their stated

autumnal session in the Third Church of Raritan, on the day of its date. The petition was granted, and a committee consisting of Rev. P. M. Doolittle, Rev. Dr. A. Messler, Rev. William Brush, Rev. II. P. Thompson, and the elders Isaac Crater and Zechariah L. Smith, was appointed to perfect the organization. The com - mittee met in the school-house at Pottersville on the 2d November, 1865. A sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. - Messler from Proverbs 8 : 34. Certificates of church membership were presented from twenty-seven individuals, embracing nine from the Presbyterian Church, seven from the Reformed Church, six from the Methodist Church, three from the Congregational Church, and two from the Lutheran Church. A consistory was chosen, their names published to the people for their approval, and, no objec- tions being made, they were installed. The consistory was com- posed of three elders and three deacons, namely, Sering Potter, Thomas Fritts, and Martin Rhinehart, elders, and Joseph Emmons, Alexander McDongal, and Edmund P. Potter, deacons. Supplies were appointed for the new church by the Classis, and religious services were thenceforth regularly held in the school-house.
During the winter, arrangements were perfected to build a church edifice, the corner-stone of which was laid May 22d, 1866, after a sermon by Rev. P. M. Doolittle from Ephesians 2 : 20, by Rev. II. P. Thompson, who addressed the people. The exercises were closed with prayer by Rev. J. B. Heward, of the Methodist Church.
The house was finished and dedicated December 26th, 1866. The sermon was preached by Rev. H. P. Thompson ; the Rev. Dr. Blanvelt and Messrs. Stoutenbergh, Voorhees, and Heward partici- pating in the services. The cost of the building was $8552.58.
The call of the first pastor, Thomas W. Jones, a licentiate from the Seminary at New-Brunswick, bears date May 31st, 1867. He resigned and removed to Amsterdam, New-York, in 1870.
The call of the second pastor, Vernon B. Carroll, is dated May 25th, 1871. He was also a licentiate from the Seminary at New- Brunswick, and is still laboring earnestly among his people. The church has the best prospects, and will soon have abundance of strength in numbers and in wealth. It includes 60 families and. 78 members in communion at the present time-a marked growthi in the seven years of its existence.

17. HIGH BRIDGE .- This church was formed out of a promis- cuons population, gathered in the village which had grown up along the New-Jersey Central Railroad at this point, and included Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans, and Reformed. It was or- ganized February 13th, 1866, by a committee of the Classis of Raritan, consisting of Rev. Messrs. Doolittle, Thompson, Van Amburgh, and Lefever. These services were held in a lecture- room which had been purchased from the Methodists, and Rev. J Lefever preached the sermon. The first consistory consisted of Charles Conover and Isaac Hammer, elders, and John Q. Seals and Johnson H. Bennet, deacons. They were ordained by Rev. R. Van Amburgh after the sermon had been preached. The Rev. Cornelius Wyckoff was called as the first pastor, and served the church until 1868, when he retired on account of failing health, and died in New-Brunswick. The Rev. Robert Van Amburgh supplied the church for nearly two years. Under his encou- raging labors the lecture-room was sold, and the present beautiful church erected and dedicated November 15th, 1870. Dr. Rogers, of New-York, preached the sermon, and Dr. Messler, of Somer- ville, dedicated the house. Dr. Rogers also officiated at the lay- ing of the corner-stone. The congregation is now in the charge of Rev. Jacob Felirman, and is growing in numbers and in strength. It reports 82 families and 60 communicants. Its posi- tion and surroundings are such as to insure its extension and increase to a prosperous church in a few years.
18. CLINTON STATION .- This congregation was formed out of Lebanon, and organized by a committee of the Classis of Raritan, consisting of Revs. R. Van Amburgh, J. Lefever, and P. M. Doolittle, Jannary 1st, 1866. The first cousistory was, Archibald IInffman and Jolin HI. Cregen, elders, and George M. Frech and George H. Rowland, deacons. The people worshiped for a time in a public hall in the village, but in 1868 began to build. The honse was finished and dedicated, classis being in session, by the pastor, J. A. Vandoren. Mr. Vandoren acted first as stated sup- ply from October 1st, 1866, to October 7th, 1869, when he ac- cepted the call, and continues to labor, being useful and beloved. The church numbers 44 families and 47 members in communion. The village is now called Annandale.
Besides these churches, a church was organized out of German families in Warren Township, in 1856, and after having sustained
1

for many years, it revolted, and is now under the Congregation- alists.
Another German church was organized in Plainfield, and the Central Church of Plainfield has placed itself also in connection with Congregationalism. A German church was also formed in New-Brunswick in 1851, and is prospering.
One remark must close our notice of these young churches, and that is, they are following on in the footsteps of the elder, and each one has prospered according to the measure of their steadfastness, and the energy manifested in their proper work. Our detail more than justifies the complimentary epithet applied to the churches in Somerset County : they are indeed the "garden of the Dutch Church."
