two corners of the sacred' edifice, called " Flankers," made with palisades, or sharpened stieks driven in the ground near together, and so placed that the sol- diers sheltered behind them might command the sides of the house in every direction. These " Flankers" were constructed in 1675, when Philip's war was rag- ing in New England, and the terror of Indian butch- eries so alarmed this settlement that precautionary measures were taken. The house itself was fitted up for defense; for at the same period the town gave orders to have it lathed, and the walls "filled up with thin stone and mortar as high as the girts," a work on which all the men of the town above sixteen years of age, in companies of twelve, each day wrought in their turn, carrying their arms with them. That was not only the house of God, but the house of refuge, where the people were to assemble at the beat of the drum.4

We have seen when and how the first house of wor- ship was built, and for what purposes it was occupied. It was indeed a "house of refuge" in every sense of the word. For many decades the old frame building answered the purpose for which it was erected. It stood also for many years as a monument to the Christian and patriotic fidelity of its founders and bnikdlers, and as one by one the old pioneers of New- ark passed away to that bourne from whence no traveler e'er returns, it finally became old and incapaci- tated to the necessities of a growing community, and slowly and reluctantly as it were, gave place to another structure of more modern pretensions and conve- niences.

THE SECOND CHURCH EDIFICE .- The second church edifice is supposed by many people to have been erected just previous to or in the year 1708. This was the opinion of the late venerable Dr. Mac- whorter, for many years pastor of the church. Rev. Dr. Stearns is of the opinion that it was built some- where between April 12, 1714, and August 10, 1716, as the town records are silent upon the subject ; and as there is an interregnum in the records between those dates, Mr. Stearns takes it for granted that the church was built during that time. It was built of stone, and was abont forty-four feet square, and as carly as 1735 had a bell in the steeple. Dr. Mac- whorter said : " It was an exceedingly great exertion of the people to erect it, and it was the most elegant edifice for publie worship at that time in the colony, however mean it may now be considered. There were considerable difficulties and contentions in the society to get it as large as it was. It was hardly be- lieved that the inhabitants of the town would ever be so numerous as to fill it." The building stood on the

west side of Broad & reet, a little south of the site of the old one, or nearly opposite the site of the present church.

Up to this time, or up to the ordination of Rev. Dr. Webb by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, this church worked upon a Congregational basis, as that operated upon by the churches of that branch of the Christian family in New England. The reasons for the change in church polity, we cannot speak of here ; but suffice it to say that the change was made with- out a jar or discord of any kind. The precise date when this church united with or became a member of Presbytery is not definitely known, but is supposed to be in 1720, when Rev. Dr. Webb made his first ap- prarance in the Synod.

CHARTER GRANTED BY BELCHER .- During the ministry of Mr. Burr there is very little in the town The people, however, were not satisfied with what had been done, and various meeting- were held on the subject, especially during the period extending from 1768 to 1773. At length, in 1774, under the stimulus given to the spirit of enterprise, the erection of " a new and large church " was undertaken in caru- est. The amount agreed upon, two thousand pounds was immediately raised, a site was selected, materials brought together and trenches for the foundation actually dug. But the breaking out of the war just at that time frustrated the plan, and the material was spattered and lost.2 records relative to the affairs of this congregation. The process of separation between civil and parochial atl'airs had been going on gradually for many years. During the same administration it was thought best to complete the separation between civil and ecclesiastical affairs, or between church and State, by securing for this church a distinct corporate existence. Accordingly, on June 7, 1753, during the administra- tion of Governor Belcher, to whose kind regards the Presbyterians in this region were much indebted, a charter was obtained for that purpose, headed with the words, " George the Second, by the Grace of God, The war was now ended, and the Newark colony again put on a business air, and everything was again prosperous, and the good work once more resumed. of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith," etc., "one body, politie and corporate, in deed, fact and name, by the name of the Trustees of the First Presbyterian Church in Newark." The the foundations of the present church edifice were trustees named in this charter were Christopher Wood, John Crane, Nathaniel Camp, Joseph Camp, Jonathan Sergeant, Joseph Riggs and Israel Crane.

"The Minister of Ministers, Eller and Deacons of the Church for the time being, or the majority of them, are empowered to displace any Trustee, and to fill all vacancies that may from time to time oreur, by electing to that office suitable persons out of the l'ongregation."

This charter, with some slight modifications, is the same under which the congregation holds its corporate existence and privilege at the present day.

PARSONAGE PILLAGED .-- The successor of Aaron Burr was the patriotic Rev. Dr. Me Whorter, whose name stands enrolled beside the most heroic of the Revolutionary war. During his ministry the colonies threw off the yoke of Great Britain, and during that terrible struggle church matters in Newark, as else- where, were at a stand-still. Patriotic devotion ran high, and British cruelty and oppression was equally rampant. The tools of the Crown hesitated not to destroy everything in their way that was hinted at as belonging to what they were pleased to term "rebels." Dr. MeWhorter himself speaks of having " Hed before the enemy in 1776, when the British troops took possession of the town," at which time the ancient records of this church, with many books of his own, being left in the parsonage, were destroyed. Many of

the inhabitants escaped to place of greater safety, and those who remained were in constant four of surprise.

THE SECOND EDIFICE REPAIRED AND PRESENT EDIFICE BUILT .- Less than fifty years after the second house of worship had been built, on the walls of which, when knee-high, Dr. Mr Whorter thought all the people of Newark could sit, had become too small, or, in other words, the congregation had become too large to be accommodated in the old house, and it had also become somewhat the worse for wear, and not feel repairing and enlarging, and in 1775 a proposition was made to repair and enlarge it, but "after con- sulting various architects" the decision was only to repair it and give it a new roof, and this decision was carried into effect the following year.1

PRESENT CHURCH EDIFICE .- In September, 1787, commenced. Tradition says, and of course tradition would not miss the truth, especially in church matters, that on the appointed day the pastor and people as- sembled on the ground and took their stations ar- eurding to age and office, forming an oblong square. The pastor, standing at the northeast corner, made a

) As has been statul, the building was about forty-four fert square , the pulpit stood on the west side between two windows. Before the pulpit was a Ment for the leader of the singing, where, for many year tradition PAYS, Mr. John Treat Crane, a great-grandfather of Governor Treat, pre- sided with great admiration. On each side of the pulpit was a large square pew ; one was occupied by the minister's family and the other by such familien as by a kind of general courent were regarded as the aristocracy of the town. The rest of the house was wated with long benches, and in the middle aisle descended the bell-rope, where the old exton stood to perform his duty in the midst of the congregation.

It was to stand on "School-home Ihill," that is, on the mouth side of Market Street, west of Broad, Where there was a considerable elevation. (In what is known ne the "Ohl Graveyant," near or on the site Dow occupied by the "Boys' Home," opposite Library Hall .- F.D.) Dr. Me Whorter said the people were not perfectly agreed alwout the location. On the breaking out of the war It is said the Deacons-Caleb Wheeler and Ebenezer Baldwin-loaded all the metal which had been collected for the bril en an ox team, and buried it in the woods known as the " short swamps," near the highway now known as Elm street, and about a mile from Mulberry Street. ( This spot is supjawed to be what is now known as Maple Island, south of the Pennsylvania Bailroad .- I.p. ) When peace was restored the grand deacons disinterred the concealed treasure and brought it in town again, and probably used It for the benefit of the new edince.

The erection of this large and beautiful edifice of brown stone-a very serious undertaking for the peo- ple as they were then situated-was due in a great measure to the indomitable zeal and perseverance of Rev. Dr. MeWhorter. "So sealous was he to serve and animate the congregation," said Dr. Griffin, " that during the following winter he was daily in the

spirit of the society," and not less " of the love and indefatigable exertions," of one of the most illustrious of its pastors. The corner-stone was laid by Rev. Dr. Me Whorter, in September, 1787, and the edifice dedicated to the worship of Almighty God, Jan. 1, 1791.1

Thus we have briefly sketched the buikling of the three temples of worship, in which, save at brief in- tervals during the Revolutionary war, regular services have been held for over two hundred years,

The history of the church, reckoning from the com- mencement of its first pastor's ministry in this place, in October, 1667, to the present time, October, 1884, covers a space of two hundred and seventeen years.

PASTORS .- During that time its pastors have been : Abraham Pierson, Sr., from Oct. 1, 1667, to Aug. 9, 1678,-a little less than eleven years.

Abraham Pierson, Jr., from July 28, 1669, to about April 2, 1692. Of this period he was assistant min- ister two years and seven months, colleague pastor six years and five months, sole pastor thirteen years and eight months. His whole pastorate was twenty years and one month.

John Prudden from Aug. 23, 1692, to June 9, 1699.

Jabez Wakeman from Nov. 16, 1699, to Oct. 29, 1704-about five years, of which time he was the installed pastor about four years.

Nathamel Bowers from June 16, 1709, to August, 1716, one year of which time he was a candidate.

Joseph Webb from Dee. 16, 1719, to November, 1736,-seventeen years as pastor and one as candidate.

Aaron Burr from December, 1736, to the autumn of 1755, one year of which was as candidate.

John Brainerd from the autumn of 1755 to May, 1759.

Alexander Me Whorter, D.D., from the summer of 1759 to July 20, 1807, excluding less than two years, when he was absent in North Carolina. Dr. Me- Whorter was here during the Revolutionary war, and shared very largely in the patriotie feeling which animated his brethren, and possessing naturally great decision and activity, could not remain idle when such a struggle was going on at his very door ; there- fore took an active part on the side of the colonists.

He was with Washington, and assisted at the council of war which decided on the memorable crossing of the Delaware and those achievements consequent upon it, by which, through the favor of Heaven, despair was changed to hope, and the dying cause of American liberty resuscitated and carried on to a grand and glorious victory.

Edward D. Griffin, D.D., from Oct. 20, 1801, to April 27, 1909,-five years and nine months as col- league with Dr. Mac Whorter and one year and nine months as sole pastor.

James Richards, D.D., from June 7, 1809, to the autumn of 1823.

William T. Hamilton, D. D., from July 27, 1824, to October 22, 1834.

Ansel D. Eddy, D.D., from Aug. 11, 1835, to Feb. 22, 1848.

Jonathan F. Stearns. D.D., took charge of the pul- pit Det. 28, 1849, and was installed by the Presbytery of Newark, December 13th of the same year. Rev. Henry B. Smith, professor in Amberst College, preached the sermon from Col. ii : 9. Mr. Stearn- remained as pastor of the church until 1883, when he retired, and the fifteenth pastor, Rev. David R. Frazer, D. D., Was installed, and at present occupies the pulpit with that ability and zeal not often found in the sacred desk.

From its beginning, in 1667, to 1719 the church be- longed to the Congregational or Independent order. Since that time it has been connected with the Newark Presbytery, Synod of New Jersey, and with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church since 1758.

The membership of the church in 1854 was five hundred and twenty-three, and church property valued at several hundred thousand dollars, as it is the owner not only of its church buildings and lots proper, but owns nearly all the real estate on Broad Street, between Market Street and the t'ity Hall, and on south side of Market Street from Broad to Washing- ton Streets. The revenue from these lots brings in quite sufficient to pay all church expenses, and retire their aged ministers on comfortable salaries.

THE OLD CHURCH-BELL .- David Ross (4th) was a resident of Elizabeth and deputy sheriff of old Essex County, somewhere about 1750. He was also a bell- founder, as was found by Daniel T. Clark, Esq., whose researches in the New Jersey Historical Society Ar- chives unearthed the following account of Ross with the trustees of the First Presbyterian Church of Newark. The ohl account-book also shows similar dealings with the churches at Elizabethtown, Amboy, Woodbridge, Millstone, Burlington and other places.
