suited to this place and occasion as I know they would be offensive to the deli- cate feelings of our benefactor, I cannot yet abstain from calling your attention to one significant fact in connection with this gift. We read frequently of large donations made to institutions, which in their nature and designation constitute visible monuments to the givers. Buildings are called after their names and proclaim plainly to all beholders their personality and estate. In the case of such gifts there may or there may not be a single-minded desire to benefit a worthy object. In many instances, indeed, the suspicion that the motives are mixed is present, that the gift is bestowed as much from a wish to gratify per- sonal vanity as to aid a cause which is regarded as deserving. In the payment of a debt, however, where there is nothing visible to point to, or anything which can properly be said to constitute a monument, the case is otherwise. He who has paid our debt for us has built for himself a monument, indeed, but it is hidden in the hearts of a grateful people and finds no outward and tangible man- ifestation. As the gift was absolutely without conditions, either as to the present or the future, so there is and there can be nothing to detract from its perfect spontaneity and fullness. We can only accept the gift in the spirit of good will which prompted it, and thank God that He has put it into the heart of His servant to do this great kindness.
But while there were no ulterior aims affecting the giver in his deed, there was a main impulse leading to it-one wholly worthy and creditable. I need not tell you that the gift was made as a loving memorial by a husband to his departed and sincerely-mourned wife. The gift was made because the giver believed that he could no more fittingly do honor to her memory than by raising the heavy burden of debt from the Parish of which she was for many years a faithful member, and in whose welfare she ever displayed a deep if quiet interest. But if the primary impulse to this gift was a sincere desire to honor her memory, it is also true that the springs of that impulse must be looked for in the char- acter of her whose influence was paramount in her husband's life.
Need I say that this benefaction has come to Trinity Church because Prudence Townsend Kelsey was a woman of sincere religious feeling, a faithful and de- voted servant of God, ever fervently desiring the glory of her Lord and Master Jesus Christ, and ever cherishing a strong affection for the Parish Church in which she worshipped for over thirty years, and at whose Altar she was wont to receive the Bread of Life. Had she cared for none of these things he who knew her best would certainly not have made a memorial to her in this present form.

Letter of congratulation received from the Rt. Rev. John Scarborough, D.D., Bishop of New Jersey, read at the thanksgiving service :
THE BISHOP'S HOUSE. DIOCESE OF NEW JERSEY,
TRENTON, Oct. 28, 1904.
My Dear Mr. Schuyler :
A previous engagement for next Sunday will not permit of my presence in Trinity Church to share with you and your people in the great joy of the day, but I want to assure you and the members of Trinity Church that I share in the thanks you will offer-first to God, from Whom cometh every good and perfect gift, and next to your noble and large-hearted benefactor for the blessing be- stowed upon the Parish in memory of one who was loved by all who knew her.
Nothing has pleased me more in all my thirty years in New Jersey than this lifting of the burden of debt from your Parish Church.
I am sure it will encourage others, who are blest with means, to copy such a noble example, both in the Diocese and out of it.
The Parish will not do less, but more in the future for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ in the world, because so much is done for it.
I am most grateful for this large gift and I offer to you and all your parish- ioners my most sincere congratulations.
In a very special measure my congratulations are due to Mr. Kelsey for his noble deed, which makes so many happy. Let prayers and praises emphasize your thanksgiving, and although absent most reluctantly, I will be one with you in heart and spirit. Believe me, I am
Your friend sincerely and truly,
JOHN SCARBOROUGH.
The REV. HAMILTON SCHUYLER,
Trenton, N. J.
The following summer saw a complete renovation of the church at the expense of several thousand dollars, also the addition of a new porch, the gift of Mr. Henry C. Kelsey, of a choir cloister, given by Mr. F. A. Duggan, and the renovation of the chapel, provided for by Mrs. B. F. Lee. Several notable memorial gifts were also added at that time, all of which are duly recorded in the memorial year book of 1906, which con- tains a full account of the special services of rededication held on Thurs- day, October 26, 1905, including the sermon preached by Rev. Henry M. Barbour, and the speeches made at the luncheon given for the enter- tainment of the guests of the Parish.
Upwards of sixty gentlemen were entertained in the Parish House on this occasion. The special guests of honor, seated at the Rector's
RT. REV. JOHN SCARBOROUGH Fourth Bishop of New Jersey
GENERAL RICHARD A. DONNELLY Warden and Vestryman for 25 Years
25
table, were Bishop Scarborough, Bishop Lines, Governor E. C. Stokes, Rev. Henry M. Barbour, Mr. Henry C. Kelsey, Mr. Theodore Simonson, Mr. Benjamin F. Lee, General Bird W. Spencer, Rev. C. M. Perkins, Dean of the Convocation of Burlington; Rev. O. A. Glazebrook, Mr. Frederick W. Donnelly, Rev. Charles Steel, Mr. Charles E. Merritt, treasurer of the Diocese, and others.
The Rector acted as toastmaster and introduced the speakers. Mr. Benjamin F. Lee, as the senior Vestryman, welcomed the guests of the Parish. The Rt. Rev. Edwin T. Lines, Bishop of Newark, followed, of- fering his congratulations. The Governor of the State, Edward C. Stokes, paid a warm tribute to the memory of Mrs. Kelsey, and General Bird W. Spencer paid a eulogy to the memory of his former comrade and brother officer, General Richard A. Donnelly, for many years Senior Warden of the Parish, who had recently passed away.
At the conclusion of the speech-making Bishop Scarborough called for the singing of the Doxology, with which the proceedings came to an end.
In a sermon preached on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of his pastorate Sunday, February 6, 1910, the Rector reviewed at length the events of the past decade of Parish life.
In his introductory remarks the preacher referred to the mutual good will which had always prevailed between the parishioners and himself. He declared the greatest harmony had always existed between the Vestry and himself, and that in the counsels of that body during the ten years of his rectorship there had never been so much as a divided vote upon any matter. He paid a high tribute of praise to Sidney H. Bourne, the organist and choirmaster, for his faithfulness and ability, and expressed his gratitude and that of the congregation to the choirmen for their val- uable voluntary services. To the superintendent, officers and teachers of the Sunday-School, to the members of the women's societies and the work- ers generally was due, he declared, the warmest praise for their enthusi- asm and efficiency. Their energy and faithfulness had been a constant source of encouragement and inspiration to himself and accounted in a large measure for the prosperity which the Parish had attained. He ex- pressed his deep gratitude for the uniform kindness and courtesy person- ally extended to him by the parishioners, and the generous provision always made for his welfare and comfort.
He thanked the women of the congregation for the handsome purse of
26
gold presented to him in recognition of his ten years of service and ex- pressed his warm appreciation of the good will of those through whose generosity the recent renovation of the rectory, at an expense of nearly $3,000 had been made possible.
He alluded to the fact that the Rector's salary had been increased from time to time, as the Vestry had felt able to do so, and stated that a further advance over the present salary of $2,000 had been offered re- cently, which he had felt obliged to decline, owing to his conviction that such increase at present would be unwise, in view of the financial state of the Parish.
After recalling the details connected with the early years of his min- istry, and the struggle to pay the Parish indebtedness, culminating in the successful issue of the efforts put forth to that end, the preacher declared that subsequently there had been little of special importance to record.
The Parish life had flowed on tranquilly. If there had been little growth in numbers or in financial strength, the Parish had yet held its own and managed through special efforts at Easter to start every fiscal year with a substantial balance on the credit side.
From the annual statements, as appearing in the Year Book, the fol- lowing financial summary, given in round figures, and covering the past ten years, was submitted :
Net cash receipts.
$90,000 00
Estimated value of memorials and other gifts. 7,000 00
Value of endowments received. 7,500 00
$104,500 00
Of this sum the actual current expenses of the Parish had consumed a little over one-half, and the balance represented what the Parish had re- ceived and raised for all other objects.
The items are as follows :
Old indebtedness
$17,000 00
Value of memorials and gifts.
7,000 00
Repairs and betterments.
12,000 00
Missionary and charitable objects
4,000 00
Endowments
7,500 00
$47,500 00
BENJAMIN F. LEE Vestryman for 35 Years
27
A somewhat surprising figure was the amount of money raised through the women's societies, which totals $8,000 for the ten years.
The figures for ten years of pastorial administration were as follows : Baptisms, 146; Confirmations, 213; Marriages, 71; Burials, 114.
Referring to the losses which the Parish had suffered during the past ten years, through the death of members, the preacher proceeded :
Let me venture to mention a few whose names are well known to the congrega- tion, either on account of their activities in the Church, their long connection with it, or their prominence in the community: Thomas Biddle, for many years Vestryman; Prudence Townsend Kelsey, Samuel Duncan Oliphant, Julia Black- fan, Samuel Meredith Dickinson, for many years a Vestryman; Richard Augus- tus Donnelly, Senior Warden; Mary Agnes Blackfan, Susie I. Donnelly, Thalia Morse Saunderson, William Norton, the faithful sexton of this Church for fif- teen years and more; Harriet Parkman McDonough, Sarah B. Ball, a commu- nicant of the Parish for nearly fifty years; Eva Blackfan Hewitt, Mary L. Townsend, Margaret Montgomery, Benjamin Fisler Lee, for many years Vestry- man; Anna Rossell, one of the oldest communicants, and Fanny W. Stewart, whose recent demise has been such a grief to us all. All of these, or nearly all, were prominent in the Parish life when I came here. According to their several abilities and opportunities all served the Parish well, and deserve to be re- membered for their works and labors of love. The names of most of these are perpetuated in memorials given to the Parish, or in some instances, by bequests left by will for Parish purposes. Let us cherish their memories and thank God for the good examples of all these, His servants, and let us pray that there may never be lacking a faithful company of consecrated men and women to carry on the work in this Parish to the glory of God and the welfare of human souls.
The sermon concluded with an appeal to the parishioners to make some provision, by will or otherwise, for the permanent endowment of the Par- ish. His words on this subject were as follows:
While I am by no means pessimistic concerning the outlook, I cannot conceal from myself a conviction that this Parish, situated as it is in the very heart of the business section, will hardly tend to increase in members or in financial strength. Even to-day there is to be observed little if any growth. The city's population is increasing mainly on its outskirts and newcomers naturally will be apt to associate themselves with parishes situated in their immediate neigh- borhood. It is probable, therefore, that Trinity Church will never be stronger than it is to-day, and it may even diminish, if not in numbers, at least in ability to sustain itself. I am confident, however, that Trinity will always find an im- portant work to do, and I, therefore, deem it essential to make provision for con-
28
tinuing its existence, by securing an adequate endowment fund. We possess al- ready for various purposes a sum amounting to about $7,500. It is to be earn- estly hoped as time goes on, that this may be supplemented by further gifts. I commend the matter to those among you who may be possessed of means, sug- gesting to you the advisability of making some provision for the Parish, either by direct gifts in your lifetime or by bequests in your wills. If Trinity Church could have a permanent endowment fund of, say $50,000, its future for all time would be assured."
The choir of Trinity Church has always been one of its chief attrac- tions, and nothing has contributed more to the success of that department of the Church's life than the faithfulness of the men who have given their voluntary services to this work. As a slight testimonial of their ap- preciation of this fact the Vestry of the Church on the occasion of the an- nual dinner, tendered by that body to the men of the choir, in the spring of 1910, made a presentation of silver loving cups, in recognition of their long and valuable services, to William O. Burgelin and Edward W. Bloor, the former having been connected with the choir for thirty years and the latter for more than twenty-five.
On Sunday, October 30, 1910, the Parish began the observance of its Golden Jubilee. The chief feature of the service was the preaching of a historical sermon by the Rector, his text being, "A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you." Lev. XXV, 12. The sermon was substantially identical in language and form with the matter used in this sketch, and cov- ering the first forty years of the Parish's life.
The following Tuesday, All-Saint's Day, besides celebrations of the Holy Communion at 7:30 and again at 10 o'clock in the morning, there was held a special service at 8 o'clock in the evening, attended by a large congregation. A special musical program was rendered. There were present in the chancel, besides the Bishop of the Diocese and the Rector of the Parish, the Rev. Henry M. Barbour, D.D., a former Rector of Trinity, and now Rector of the Church of the Beloved Disciple in New York City, and the following rectors of churches in the City of Trenton, the Rev. Milton A. Craft, the Rev. Robert W. Trenbath, and the Rev. Wil- liam G. Wherry.
Letters of regret were read from the Rev. Dr. T. Bond Holland, Rector of St. Michael's Church, Trenton ; the Rev. Albert U. Stanley, of Marietta, Georgia, and the Rev. Charles C. Edmunds, both former rec- tors of Trinity.
