AFTER the war, they found themselves unable to repair the church, owing to the ravages of the raiding parties, &c., and therefore the Consistory issued the following appeal for help :--- Whereas the Dutch Reformed Congregation of New Millstone, in the County of Somerset, and State of New Jersey, has been much distressed by the late destruc- tive war, the inhabitants plundered of their property, their church in part destroy- ed, and rendered useless ; and whereas said congregation is by such sufferings rendered in a manner incapable of repairing their church :- We, the subscribers, Elders and Deacons of said congregation, find ourselves under the disagreeable necessity of applying for assistance to the brethren of our profession, and especial- ly to those whom a kind Providence has protected against similar distress ; who from pure motives of sympathy, we trust, will be induced to charity and benevo- leuce. And in order to promote this, our purpose, we have appointed and author- ized our Pastor, the Rev. Solomon Froeligh, Capt. Cor. Lott, and Peter Ditmarse, to present this our application to such of our brethren, as they from personal acquaintance, or recommendation, may decm persons of a benevolent disposition, and to assure them from us, that their donations will be received with gratitude, and their names perpetuated on the records of our church, as examples of gener- osity by their Humble servants.

Mr. Labagh served the two churches till 1821, when he limited his services to HARLINGEN alone, till 1844, when he resigned, and Rev. John Gardner succeeded him, in the same year, and is the present pastor; while Rev. Gabriel Ludlow succeeded Mr. Labagh at NECHANIC, in 1821, and still continues to serve that church :- After the single year of service of Rev. Theodore F. Romeyn, at BEDMINSTER, (1785-86,) Rev. Mr. Studdiford, of Readington, united this church with his other charge, (1787-1800,) and Rev. John Duryee succeeded him, (1800-1,) and subse- quently have ministered there, Revs. John Schureman, (1801-7,) Charles Harden- bergh, (1808-20,) I. M. Fisher, (1821-39,) Geo. Schenck, (1840-52,) William Brush, (1852-65,) and Charles H.Poole, since 1865 :- Thus the valleys of the Raritan and its tributaries, in early times so poorly supplied with Gospel privileges, have been even in reference to our single denomination, most signally blessed of Prov- idence, in the large multiplication of churches and of pastors. There are now no less than thirty-one churches and forty-one ministers on the territory, whose his- tory we have been considering, and three-fourths of these ministers are settled pastors. If the material were at hand to show the numbers and conditions of the churches of other denominations, on the same ground, the benevolence of Provi- dence toward this region would appear indeed most wonderful. It has often been called " The Garden of the Church." God has here richly poured out His Spirit, time and again. All the records of the older congregations, and of many of the younger, show unwonted numbers of accessions to the church. The bold, true, evangelical, untrammelled spirit of faith, of the first pastors, and of the second and third generations, in these valleys, and their earnest, importunate prayers, seem to have commanded God's blessing upon their children, and their children's children. But let us not fail to remember that the greatness of these former bless- ings constitutes now a source of danger. All history confirms this. It must be OUR OWN carnest, diligent, ardent piety, conformed to the new and wonderful developments of Providence, which alone can retain and increase these heavenly experiences of the past. Let ns prove ourselves worthy of our birthright, by our fidelity to the cause of God and man. Where much is given, much will be required. 91 APPENDIX. NOTE 5.
