Episcopal Church, he was not illiberal towards other churches.

He died of dropsy in the chest on Saturday, Nov. 1, 1845. His wife survived until July 2, 1852. They had nine children, seven of whom came to mature years. One of them, Frederick W., took orders in the Episcopal Church, and settled in Bucks County, Pa .; another practiced law at Trenton, N. J., and has attained great eminence at the bar and on the bench.1

Mr. Beasley's successor was the

REV. SAMUEL LILLY. He was appointed rector of St. John's Aug. 28, 1803. He was admitted to priest's orders shortly after, and inducted April 2, 1804, on an annual salary of five hundred dollars and the use of the parsonage. He had charge also of the academy during the same year. No record has been found of his life previous to his becoming the rector of St. John's. He remained in charge until April 30, 1805. Some time after he removed to the South, where he died previous to 1824.2

1779, and was the oldest child of Jonathan Rudd and Mary, daughter of Deacon Barnabas Huntington. He was brought up as a Congregationalist, and fitted for college under the tuition of Rev. Samuel Nott, but was not favored with a collegiate course. Upon reach- ing his majority he removed to New York, where he connected himself with the Episcopal Church, studied for the ministry, and was ordained a deacon by Bishop Moore, April 28, 1805.

At the time of his settlement here the congregation seldom exceeded a hundred souls, and the communi- cants were sixty in number. Improvements were made in the church edifice, and a new steeple placed upon it in 1807. In 1808 the length of the house was increased seventeen feet and the interior entirely reno- vated. An addition of one hundred dollars was added to Mr. Rudd's salary in 1810. In 1813 he became the editor of a new series of The Christian Magazine, and the place of publication was changed from New York to Elizabeth Town. Other improvements were made iu the church edifice in 1817. The parsonage house was

About three months after the removal of Rev. Mr. Lilly the church invited the

REV. JOHN CHURCHILL RUDD to become their rector, with a salary of five hundred dollars a year and the use of the rectory. The call was accepted, and Mr. Rudd entered upon his work in December, 1805. He was regularly inducted in May, 1806.

Mr. Rudd was born at Norwich, Conn., May 24,

also rebuilt at a cost of about $3000. For several years Mr. Rudd conducted a classical school in his house with great success. July 31, 1823, the University of Pennsylvania conferred on him the degree of D.D.

Owing to the loss of health, particularly of his voice, Dr. Rudd was relieved from his parochial charge June 1, 1826, and the next month removed to Auburn, N. Y., where, and at Utica, N. Y., as teacher, rector, and editor of The Gospel Messenger, his later days were spent. He died in Utica, Nov. 15, 1848, greatly lamented by his own church and others. At his own request his remains were brought to Eliza-

beth Town, and interred on the 19th in St. John's churchyard. His widow died in October, 1867, aged eighty-eight, having survived him nearly nineteen years.

Dr. Rudd was succeeded by the

REV. SMITH PYNE, who began his ministry in the parish June 1, 1826, and was instituted rector by the Rt. Rev. John Croes, D.D., May 3, 1827. His salary was five hundred dollars and the use of the rectory. This was his first parochial charge. His ministry here, though highly acceptable to the people, was but of short continuance. He resigned the rectorship Dec. 31, 1828, to accept a call from the church of Middle- town, Conn. Subsequently he became the assistant minister, and then, after the decease of the Rev. Dr. Hawley, for many years the rector of St. John's Church, Washington City, D. C. Dr. Pyne now re- sides at New York City. 1

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, ELIZABETHI.

A call was extended March 8, 1829, to the

REV. BIRDSEYE GLOVER NOBLE, the predecessor of Mr. Pyne at Middletown. He was born in 1792, at New Milford, Conn .; graduated at Yale College in 1810; married a daughter of Elijah Sanford, of New- town, Conn .; was ordained a deacon in 1812, and priest in 1817; and was rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, at Middletown, Conn., 1812 to 1829.

He came here on a salary of five hundred dollars, the rectory, and his firewood. The finances of the church were greatly improved during his ministry, and other- wise the congregation appeared to prosper; save that during the cholera season of 1832 the church met with severe losses by death. His ministry terminated Oct. 15, 1833. He removed to Bridgeport, and opened a boarding-school on Golden Hill, where he died Nov. 16, 1848, in his fifty-seventh year.

At the close of January, 1834, the

REV. RICHARD CANNING MOORE, JR., son of Bishop Moore, of Virginia, was chosen rector, and at once entered upon his work. He graduated at Wash- ington (Trinity ) College, Hartford, in 1829, and the first year after his ordination assisted his cousin, the Rev. Dr. Bedell, of St. Andrew's Church, Fhiladel- phia. He continued in charge of St. John's, Eliza- beth Town, until the second Sunday in March, 1855.

At his coming his salary was four hundred dollars a year, with the usual perquisites. So acceptable and effective was his ministry that soon a consider- able enlargement of the church edifice was re- quired, and an addition of eight feet was made to each side of the house, and the interior was wholly renewed. The work was done between June 1st and Dec. 31, 1840. When completed it measured forty-five by sixty-six feet. A Sunday-school room of brick was erected at the same time, the expense of the whole improvement being about four thou- sand dollars. A new impulse was thus given to the congregation, which rapidly increased in num- bers and efficiency. After Mr. Moore's removal from this town he became the rector of Christ Church, Williamsport, Pa., where he remained until

REV. SAMUEL ADAMS CLARK, the successor of Mr. Moore, was called to the rectorship Feb. 4, 1856, at a salary of twelve hundred dollars and the usual perquisites. He had been for eight years the rector of the Church of the Advent, Philadelphia. He entered upon his work on the first Sunday in April, and was instituted by Bishop Doane April 17, 1856. His ministry was eminently successful. The capacity of the old church edifice soon proved inadequate to meet the wants of the congregation. Measures were taken in April, 1857, to raise twenty thousand dollars for a new church. The work was undertaken in 1859. The old church was demol- ished, the corner-stone of the new church was laid Sept. 5, 1859, and the house completed in 1860.

The new St. John's is a noble specimen of the Gothic style of architecture of the fourteenth cen- tury. It is built of a pale brick alternating with bands of stone. It is distributed into nave, aisles, apsidal, chancel, and vestry. The windows of the elerestory are of stained glass. It has a massive tower, one hundred and twenty-six feet high, with a side porch. The pews will seat one thousand per- sons. The whole cost was about $50,000.

A chapel of the same material, eighty by thirty- four feet, costing about fifteen thousand dollars, ad- joining the church, was built in 1867. The offerings for the year ending May, 1867, were $46,558.17, of which $18,360.57 were for parish purposes.1 The present number of communicants is about six hun- dred ; Sunday-school, including officers, teachers and scholars, five hundred and fifty.

REV. WILLIAM S. LANGFORD, the present rector, assumed the ministry of St. John's on July 11, 1875. He was born in Fall River, Mass. ; educated at Ken- yon College and Theological Seminary at Gambia, Ohio; ordained June 26, 1867; was assistant at St. Ann's, Brooklyn, until July, 1867, when he went to St. Paul's, Englewood, N. J., and in the autumn of 1870 became rector of St. John's Church, Yonkers, on the Hudson, whence he removed to Elizabeth, as- suming the rectorship as above stated.

Grace Church .- This parish was founded under the labors of Rev. Abraham Beach Carter, then mis- sionary of the Protestant Episcopal Church for Essex County, the first service being held in the house of Mr. Vincent Bodine on Nov. 3, 1845. Among those present at that service was Mrs. Dayton, then nearly eighty years of age. The whole congregation con- sisted of about forty persons. On March 15, 1846, the first baptism was administered. Services were held in the house of Mr. Bodine up to April 26, 1846, when a commodious room in a public building was rented and furnished by the congregation.

Soon after this Dr. Carter's connection with the parish ceased, and on the 17th of September, 1846, Rev. Edward B. Boggs assumed charge. He was ordained deacon hy Bishop Doane on the very day he became missionary to this parish, viz .: Sept. 17, 1846, and he remained in charge until March, 1847, when he removed to Trinity Church, Swedesborough, preaching there, and on alternate Sundays at Eliza- bethport and Piscataway. The parish of Grace Church contained six families and twelve communi- cants on the 1st of December, 1848, when Rev. David Clarkson assumed the rectorship. A Sunday-school was at that time organized. The parish was incor- porated by act of the Legislature Aug. 18, 1849. In April, 1849, steps were taken towards the erection of a church edifice, the amount necessary to complete this object being subscribed mainly outside of the parish, St. John's Church contributing liberally. The cost of the church together with the furniture was about sixteen hundred dollars. It was finished

and consecrated by Bishop Doane on April 2, 1850. It was a neat and commodious wooden structure with stained-glass windows, spire, and bell.

Shortly after the church edifice was consecrated Rev. Mr. Clarkson resigned, and removed to Fort Scott, Mo. The church was then supplied for a few months by Rev. Eli Wheeler and Rev. S. Chipman Thrall. Rev. Eugene A. Hoffman, now Dr. Hoffman, dean of the theological seminary in New York City, was instituted rector Aug. 24, 1851. He resigned in May, 1852, to assume the rectorship of Christ Church, Elizabeth, to which he had been called. The services were then conducted by a lay reader, Mr. Frederick Philips, a worthy and exemplary citi- zen, until January, 1854, and after his death, in that year, until Sept. 6, 1855, by Mr. John J. Smith. At this latter date Rev. Mr. Clarkson, upon leave of absence from Fort Scott, whence he had been serving in the capacity of chaplain in the United States army, again assumed charge of the parish, and remained about six months. Rev. Joseph S. Mayers and Rev. J. D. L. Moore then officiated until the spring of 1857, when Rev. Clarkson Dunn became rector of the parish, and remained until his death in January, 1870. Mr. Dunn had previously been for more than thirty years rector of Christ Church, Newton, N. J. After his death in 1870, Rev. Joseph S. Mayers was chosen rector, and remained in charge of the parish until July 31, 1872, when he accepted a call to St. Luke's Church, Phillipsburg, N. J. Rev. James Stoddard succeeded him on Sept. 16, 1872. During the rectorship of Mr Stoddard the church was en- larged at a cost of two thousand eight hundred dol- lars, leaving a debt upon the parish of about three thonsand dollars, which has since been only partially liquidated. He resigned April 16, 1876, and in June of that year Rev. J. F. Esch was instituted rector, resigning his charge Oct. 18, 1877. Rev. Henry E. Duncan, D.D., the present rector, assumed the duties of his office in January, 1878. He had been for nearly twenty years rector of St. Luke's Church, at Matteawan, on the Hudson.

Grace Church numbers about one hundred fami- lies and about seventy communicants, and has in the Sunday-school one hundred and fifty scholars.

Trinity Church (Protestant Episcopal) was erected on North Broad Street in 1871. The prop- / erty is valued at thirty-seven thousand dollars. Number of sittings five hundred. There are in com- munion with the church two hundred persons. The rectors of Trinity have been Rev. D. F. Warren, D.D., now of Pittsburgh, Pa .; the Rev. Robert Low- i rey, assistant minister of St. Thomas', New York ; and the present rector, the Rev. F. Marion McAllister, who took charge in 1874. The church edifice is a neat and convenient structure.

Second Presbyterian Church .- The Second Pres- byterian Church of Elizabeth grew out of the "great revival of 1817." So numerous were the

accessions to the old church as greatly to exceed the capacity of their house of worship. During the re- vival of 1813 a long-felt necessity had been met by the erection of a session-house on the rear of the par- sonage lot, fronting on Washington Street. The ex- pense was provided for by voluntary subscriptions, and the house was opened for worship Sept. 10, 1813. At a meeting of the trustees and sessions of the First Church on Tuesday, Feb. 29, 1820, application having been made to that effect, arrangements were made whereby the session-house might be used on the Sab- bath free of rent for five years by such persons as were desirous of forming a second church. The house was enlarged in the summer following. Sepa- rate Sabbath services were commenced March 26, 1820. A religious society was organized by the elec- tion, Oct. 26, 1820, of Messrs. David Meeker, John Humes, James Crane, Richard Townley, Elijah Kel- logg, William Brown, and Elihu Price trustees. A church of forty-one members, all but one from the First Church, was constituted on Sunday, Dec. 3, 1820, when Elihu Price, James Crane, and David Meeker were set apart as elders. The same month they called as their pastor the

REV. DAVID MAGIE .- He was a native of Eliza- beth Town, and this was his only home through life. His father, Michael Magie, was the son of Joseph and the grandson of John Magie, Sr., who came over from Scotland during the period of prosecution, 1685- 87, and purchased land just west of the town plot. His ancestors were noted for their piety and Presby- terianism. His father married Mary Meeker, and both of them were exemplary members of the First Presbyterian Church. David was born at the rural homestead west of the town March 13, 1795. His father died Jan. 6, 1810. In his will, dated Aug. 23, 1806, mention is made of ten children, four daugh- ters, Catharine Potter, Jane Brown, Phebe, and Han- nah, and six sons, Benjamin, John, David, Joseph, Job, and Haines.

David was converted in the revival of 1813, and in June of that year was received a member of the First Church. He prepared for college under the super- vision of his pastor, Mr. McDowell, and entered the junior class of the College of New Jersey in 1815. He gradnated in 1817, and entered the theological seminary at Princeton. At the expiration of a year he was appointed one of the tutors of the college, holding the post for two years. In the spring of 1820 he was licensed by the Presbytery of Jersey, and preached his first sermon April 28th. During the summer, having frequently preached for the new con- gregation, he was invited to supply them for six months. He began his stated ministrations Oct. 1, 1820, with a sermon from Rom. xv. 30. He was or- dained and installed on Tuesday, April 24, 1821. He married, May 7th, Ann F. Wilson, daughter of James Wilson, Esq., deceased.

Measures were taken April 30, 1821, to build a

house of worship. The corner-stone of the house on Jersey Street was laid June 20, 1821, and the house dedicated May 1, 1822. In this his first and only pastoral charge among his own townsmen he contin- ued to labor as a faithful, godly, useful, and highly honored minister of the gospel nearly forty-five years, declining promptly several calls and appointments to other fields and spheres of labor. He received in 1842 the degree of D.D. from Amherst College, and during the latter period of his life filled several sta- tions of honor and service in connection with literary and benevolent institutions. The additions to the church during his ministry were six hundred and fifty-one on profession, and five hundred and ninety- six on certificate.

After a period of great bodily suffering, protracted through fifteen months, full of peace, hope, and com- fort, he departed this life May 10, 1865.

He was, indeed, "a model pastor." Calm, genial, affectionate, sympathizing, abundant in labors, his services were welcomed by the whole people, and his influence among them gradually strengthening from first to last. Combining temperance, charity, hu- mility, prudence, sound judgment, simplicity, and earnestness, he was a faithful, persevering, successful laborer in the vineyard committed to his charge. He preached and prayed with a power and unction which sank deep into the hearts of his hearers. . . . Besides several able published discourses he was the author of "The Spring-Time of Life," an excellent volume of three hundred and fifty pages.1

A few months before the decease of Dr. Magie, the Rev. William C. Roberts, previously of Columbus, Ohio, was installed co-pastor, and continued in charge until his resignation in February, 1866, to become the pastor of the newly-organized Westminster Church. The Rev. James B. Patterson, for several years pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Steubenville, Ohio, was shortly after installed his successor, and is still in charge of the church.

Westminster Presbyterian Church.2-The West- minster Presbyterian Church may be regarded as a colony from the Second Presbyterian Church.

Some time before the lamented death of the Rev. Dr. Magie, the people of his charge called a number of meetings to consider the expediency of altering, enlarging, or beautifying their place of worship. The prosperity of the city and the increased demand for church accommodation pointed to the necessity of doing something in that direction. Plans were more than once procured for the enlargement and improve- ment of the building, but the congregation could not unite in their adoption or execution.

After the decease of Dr. Magie the same demand for more pew accommodation and the rapid growth

of the city forced the congregation to renew their efforts to " enlarge the place of their tent ;" but they could not see eye to eye as to what ought to be done. With the view of solving the difficulty it was pro- posed to sell the old edifice and erect on some other convenient site a more extensive and commodious building; but a majority of the congregation, for the veneration they felt for the place where they had worshiped God so long, were utterly opposed to the measure.

Seeing that it would be impossible to secure una- nimity as to any plan of rebuilding or enlarging, a goodly number of the congregation, not wanting in attachment for the old sanctuary, or in regard for the pleasant memories of the past, resolved on forming a colony that should go forth, with one heart and one mind, to engage in a new enterprise for the glory of God.

Of the five hundred and fifty-six members enrolled on the records of the Second Presbyterian Church, ninety-three went forth, and seven others with them from sister churches, to be organized as a new family of Christ's followers.

Several informal preliminary meetings were held to consider the interests of the new colony and to effect its legal incorporation, but the first regular re- ligious meeting was held at the house of Mr. William P. Thompson on Friday evening, the 14th of July, 1865.

On the evening of the 3Ist day of January, 1866, the congregation assembled in the Second Presby- terian Church, when the church was organized by a committee of the Presbytery of Passaic appointed for the purpose, and suitable persons were set apart as its spiritual officers.
