RELAHOUS INTERESTS OF NEWARK

Belmont Avenue (German) Baptist Church. This church was organized AApril 18, 1875, previous to which it was a mission, supplied by students and lay preachers. The church edifice was built in 1872, and on Oct. 1, 1873, Rev. 11. L. Dietz was placed in charge as its first pastor, and remained three years. In 1876, Rev. 11. Hilzinger was assigned to the church, and remained two years, and June 1, 1878, Rev. J. C. Kraft was appointed superintendent, and remained till IS81. The deacons in Isst were Phil. Verbel, John Schulte and Christian Ronfl; clerk. Communicants, forty-six.

Sherman Avenue Baptist Church was organized in 1871. The pastors have been Rev. Frank John- son, D.D., Rev. W. Rollinson, Rev. Edward Love and Rey. S. Wayland Bourne, D.D., the present pastor, Communicants in 1881 were one hundred and sixty- eight. The Sunday-school superintendent in 1881 was t. E. Sutphen ; assistants, E. W. Van Houten and Miss E. Churchill.

There is also in the city the Twelfth Ward German Baptist Church, located on the corner of Niagara and Patterson Streets, with Rev. C. F. Sievers as pastor. The Beacon Street Baptist Church is located on Beacon Street, with Rev. Charles A. Schlipff as pastor.

Wesley Chapel (Halsey Street Methodist Epis- copal Church).' -- Of the twenty or more Methodist Churches now in the city of Newark, Wesley Chapel is the oldest. As far back as 1786, and down to 1836, the minutes of the Philadelphia Con- ference inchided New Jersey, and Newark is men- tioned as a Methodist mission with fifty members, and Robert Cloud as preacher. In 1806 a class was formed, with David Bartine, father of the late Rev. Dr. Bartine, as leader. With this exception, and that of the year 1811, there is no mention of New- ark in any Conference minutes down to FSIs. Its items during these years are lost in the general reports of the circuits to which Newark in turn belonged.

The published minutes in America begin in June, 1773. (Methodism introduced 1766.) That year there were but two hundred Methodists in all New Jersey. In 1784, the birth-date of Methodist Episcopacy and year of the first General Conference, there were nine hundred and thirty-six. Two years later, when New- ark is first mentioned, there were three thousand and thirty.

Tradition says that the first Methodist society known to have met for preaching in Newark con- vened in a bark mill, which stood a few hundred yards from the present site of the Halsey Street Methodist Episcopal Church, yet the mists surrounding the local history of this church previous to 1806, it must be confessed, are very great.

On Jan. 22, 1808, Richard Leyeratt, John Dow and Charles Marsh met at Mr. Dow's house, in Belleville,

and " conceived and approved the design to erect a church in Newark." A subscription was opened at once, when Mr. lwyeraft, the animating spirit of the enterprise, subscribed a hundred dollars. At that time twenty dollars was considered a liberal contribution for such an object.

Oct. 1. 1808, a meeting was hehl at the house of Hobart Littell, in Fair Street, at which Rev. Thomas Stratton presided, where the following board of trustees was elected : Joseph Sandford, John Wil- liams, Aaron Baldwin, Thomas Taylor, Ebenezer MeLain, Hobart Littell and Richard Leyeraft. After organizing, with Leyeraft as president and Taylor as secretary, and adopting as their corporate name " The Trustees of the Methodist Wesley Chapel, in the town of Newark, in the State of New Jersey," they all took oath before William Pennington, one of the judges of the Supreme Court of the State. It was at first deter- mined to locate in Fair Street, but further consulta- tion led to the selection of the present site of the Halsey Street Methodist Episcopal Church. With leyeraft as general superintendent of the building and Baldwin as the builder, the work went rapidly forward, and before the end of the month (the exact date is not on record) Rev. Ezekiel Cooper preached from the timbers, and, as is supposed, laid the corner- stone. In ninety working-days from the beginning the house (a frame structure) was completed. The dedication took place Jan. 1, 1509, with a sermon by Ezekiel Cooper. The cost of the building, with the lot, was two thousand seven hundred and thirty-four dollars.

For 1811 Newark appears on the Conference minutes with John L. Hall as the preacher. In Is12 Newark was supplied by Revs. Stephen Martindale and J. Van Schoick, and was included in the Morris ('ircuit.

In 1813 the name was changed to Essex Circuit. and Stephen Martindale and Rev. John Finley were the preachers, and in 1814, Rev. John Finley served the mission, with Rev. John Roberts om as colleague.

In 1815 Essex was united with Staten Island t'ir- cuit, and the preachers were Ress. Joseph Totten, John Robertson and Daniel Moore. It is said that in 1815 there were but twenty-four Methodists in Newark.

The relation of Newark during the next two years, whether connected with Essex or Staten Island or with the Bergen Conference, is not positively known. For the Essex and Staten Island Circuits the preachers during these years were Joseph Totten, John Potts, Daniel Moore, George Woolley and Edward Page.

In 1818, Reve. Joseph Lybrand and William Smith, then of Bergen Circuit, supplied Newark, which ap- pears regularly in the minutes from this time on.

This year is Newark's last in connection with cir- cuits, as in the following spring we find it changed by the Conference into a "station," with Joseph Ly- brand as pastor. At the Conference in 1820 the

preacher reported one hundred and thirty-nine white and nine colored members. Mr. Lybrand was re- turned for a third year, it being his second in the sta- tion, as two years was then the full time allowed. Rev. John Scarlett, now in his eighty-sixth year, says, " I heard Rev. Joseph Lybrand preach in Wes- ley Chapel, Halsey Street. lle was a man of wonder- ful power in the pulpit, and the first Methodist preacher I ever heard. Trembling conviction on ac- count of sin seized me at once."

In the spring of 1821, Lybrand was succeeded by Rev. Stephen Martindale, who remained one year. Rev. John Cramer was in charge in 1822 and 1823.

In 1826-27, Rev. Joseph Rusling was the preacher in charge, and at the end of two years he reported a membership of two hundred and thirty-six. Rev. John Kennedy followed, in 1828 and 1829, and re- ported three hundred and fifty-two members. Dur- ing his second year the small building occupied by the Sabbath-school was torn down, the church raised three Feet, and nineteen and a half fect added to the west end, and a basement forty feet square fitted up for the Sunday-school and social meetings. The gallery of the church was made continuous, extending round the four sides. The pulpit, which had always been at the west end. as at present, was changed to the east end, or entrance between the doors (there were hut two aisles), yet just at the edge of the gallery, where it remained until the building was removed. At the reopening, June 21, 1829, the preachers were Revs. Nathan Bangs, D. D., Beverly Waugh and theorge Cole.

In 1830. Rev. Nathaniel Porter came to the charge. Ilis health failing, he was assisted by Rev. John L. tilder.

In 1831, Revs. John Matthias and Anthony Atwood were sent to supply the two churches-Wesley and Franklin Street Church-that had been organized the year before. Nathaniel Porter continuing in ill health, died in August, 1831, and was buried in rear of Wesley Chapel.

The preachers for 1833 were Revs. Solomon Iliggins and George G. Cookman ; the latter, lost on the steam- ship " President " in 1841, was father of the late Alfred Cookman.

In 1834, Rev. John S. Porter was assigned to Wesley Chapel.

In 1835, Revs. J.S. Porter and Thomas J. Thompson were the alternating preachers. The spring of 1836 again ended the cirenit plan ; Franklin Street Church was dedicated, and thenceforth each church had its own pastor. At this time there were but six hundred and eighty Methodists in Newark, and only twenty religious organizations.

In 1836 the Philadelphia Conference made its last appointment for Newark, in the person of Rev. John Nicholson, as pastor of Wesley Chapel.

In 1837 the first annual session of the New Jersey Conference was held in the Halsey Street Methodist

Episcopal Church, and Nicholson appointed to this church for another year.

The late Rev. James Ayres was pastor of this church for the years 1838-39.

Rev. William Roberts (now of Oregon) followed through 1840 and 1841, and then built and became pastor of the Clinton Street Methodist Episcopal Church, built in 1842, taking with him "the first regular colonizing party that ever left the okl hive." In 1841 the New Jersey Conference again held its session in Wesley Chapel.

In 1842, Rev. Joseph B. Mckeever became pastor. He died, at the close of the Conference year, at what is now 107 Washington Street, Newark. During his illness Rev. D. D. Wheden supplied the pulpit. Rev. C. S. Vancleve wrote of Mckeever : "Ile was a man of sweet spirit and of precious memory. His career was short, but shining, and its close was peaceful."

In 1843, Rev. Charles H. Whitecar was assigned to Wesley Chapel, and remained two years, and reported three hundred and eighty members.

For the years 1845 and 1846, Rev. David W. Bartine was in charge, and reported a membership of three hundred and ninety-one.

Rev. William P. Corbit served this church through the years 1847-48.

Rev. Samuel Y. Monroc (killed on the railroad near Jersey ('ity in 1867) followed in 1849. During his two years' service several thousand dollars were raised toward building the present house of worship.

The year ISal brought Rev. Elwood H. Stokes (now president of the Ocean Grove Camp-Meeting Associa- tion), who built the new church. Before the close of his first year he preached the last sermon in the old church,-" It is the last time" (1 John ii. 18).

The new church, a brick structure with twelve hun- dred sittings, and costing sixteen thousand dollars, was dedicated on Thanksgiving day, 1852. The preachers on this occasion were the late Bishop Janes, who preached in the morning from I Cor. i. 21; Rev. Henry Slicer, preached in the afternoon from 1 Tim. iii. 15. The pastor's first sermon in the new house was from the text, " The glory of the latter house shall be greater than of the former."

In 1853 and 1854, Rev. Samuel Vansant was the preacher in charge. The later year Trinity Church came into existence.

Rev. Isaac W. Wiley (afterwards made a bishop) followed in 1855 and 1856.

Rev. Crook S. Vancleve became pastor in 1857, and remained two years. In 1858 a parsonage at 83 New Street was secured. Det. 19, 1858, was held the semi-centenary of the laying of the corner-stone of the church. The year 1858 is also noted as the year of the first session of the Newark Conference (held at Morristown).

The spring of 1859 brought Rev. James R. Bryan, who remained two years.

RELIGIOUS INTERESTS OF NEWARK.

In 1861 and 1862, Rev. William Day was the pas- tor, and left a membership of four hundred and seventy.

In 1863, Rev. Charles Larew came as the preacher. He was the first to remain three years, the General Conference of 1864 adding a year to the pastoral term.

Rev. James Freeman followed as pastor in Iso6, and remained three years. During the first year the church was entirely renovated, at a cost of two thou- sand five hundred and eight dollars. The same year the entire debt of the church was canceled, and no debt allowed to accumulate since.

In 1869 began the the three years' term of Rev. James S. Chadwick. In 1870 a new parsonage was purchased (the one now occupied), the ohl one prov- ing to be too small.

Rev. Richard Van Horne was appointed pastor in the spring of 1872, and was succeeded in July of the same year by Rev. Joseph 1. Knowles, who remained until the spring of 1875, leaving a membership of six hundred and six.

Rev. Lewis R. Dunn, served the next three years, 1875 '76, '77, during which time he was made a D. D. by Wesleyan University. In 1876 (the d'entennial year) the Newark Conference hell its session in the mother-church.

In 1878, Rev. Jonathan Il. Dally entered upon his three years' time, and at its close reported a member- ship of six hundred and eighty. Services com- memorative of the seventieth anniversary of the dedication of the church were held Jan. 5, 1879, with sermons by former pastors,-Atwood, Freeman and Stokes. The exercises were continued through the week by other former pastors.

Rev. James Montgomery was assigned to this church in the spring of Isst, and remained three years. In the autumn of ISSI the church edifice received the most thorough repairing since its erec- tion, the refurnishing and decorations costing three thousand four hundred and thirty-four dollars, At the re-opening on Christmas day were present the two oldest former pastors then living,-Anthony Atwood (then in his eightieth year, who preached in the morning; and John S. Porter (then in his seventy- sixth year), who conducted the love-feast. Rev. L. R. Dunn preached in the evening. The seventy-fifth anniversary exercises were hell Jan. 20, 1884, with sermons by President Henry A. Buttz, of Drew Theo- logical Seminary.

A pruning of the membership took place during the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Montgomery, leaving in the spring of 1884 a total of seven hundred members.

Mr. Montgomery was succeeded in the spring of 1884 by the present pastor, Rev. W. Eakins.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL .- The only record extant of the carly history of the Sunday-school connected with this church belongs to the year 1820. Almut n your earlier George Cross and family, having come to Newark, be- came connected with the society. Mrs. Cross, with Mrs. Susan E. Tompkins (afterwards Mrs. Monroe, still living, at the age of ninety-one), visited among the members, soliciting the attendance of their children

for Sunday school purposes. Although meeting with great opposition, a number were finally persuaded to come together in the kitchen of Mr. Cross's house, on Broad Street, opposite Trinity Episcopal Church. The teachers were Mrs. Cross, Mrs. Tompkins, Phobe Taylor, Ann t'ampfieldl (a Presbyterian lady), James Ransley, and Robert Sims, who taught a class of col- ored children. Later on in the same year (1819) the school was held in the gallery of the church, with Soloman Pancoast, superintendent, and Thomas Christie, Isaac l'inkney, Waters Burrows Jones, Susan Young, Eliza Gardner, Mary Barnet, Eliza Cation, Sarah Jones and Catharine C'ation, teachers. Two sessions a day were held, with little or no funds, few books and no library. The record says : "The school went into operation July, 1820, with seven teachers and forty-five scholars." On the 31st Deceni- ber the same year, the school for the first time occu- pied the Union School-house, located on the south- east corner of New and Halsey Streets, which had been secured probably as affording better accommoda- tions. The superintendent removing from town in May, 1821, was succeeded by Thomas M. Woodruff, Just how long the school was held in the school-house the record does not say, but it was until the erection of a building, some fifteen feet long, in rear of and ad- joining the church, in which, from its completion on to 1829, the school held its sessions. In February, 1824, we find the school numbering but twelve schol- ars. The record of March 8, 1824, shows an attend- ance of "one superintendent, five teachers and thirteen scholars."

The Sunday-school record informs us, for the first time, that on Aug. 22, 1824, the school was opened "by singing and prayer." In 1825 a Mr. Jillson was superintendent. This year the books belonging to the school were kept in a trunk, and numbered twenty-nine Testaments, two Bibles, one hymn-book and four spelling-books. This was the situation of the Halsey Street Methodist Episcopal Sunday-school at the close of the present century. From a babe that could scarcely stand alone it has grown to be a giant in numbers and usefulness. From a little old trunk in which was thirty-six books the school has now one of the largest and best Sunday-school libraries to be found in the State, numbering thousands of volumes. From " no superintendent," five teachers and thirteen scholars in 1824, it has grown in 1884, or sixty years, to five hundred and thirteen scholars and the follow- ing,-
