During 1876 but little was done. Inside, the building had been partitioned off and the gas pipes had been laid, while without the walls had been pointed and the tile had been "set." But during the succeeding year much more was accomplished. The building was nearly completed. The hall was finished except the drapery and the drop curtain.

a grand success, much grander in fact than any of the directors, at the meeting in '72, ever expected. The library is the culminat- ing point of all previous Morristown li- braries.
What man in Benjamin Freeman's house in 1792, would have dared to prophesy such wide results from their feeble efforts? Still we, who may profit by the library have not only to thank and praise those venerable patriots, but also a gentleman of our day to whom we should be more than grateful for . the great work he has done for the library. We refer to the President of the Board of Directors :
" I wander'd every where, Tom, till the time for us to part,
" Then I left the dear old place with a sad and heavy heart ;
" I thought of our dead playmates, Tom, and my tears began to flow
" As I bade fare-well to the school-house of fifty years ago."
HON. IRA CONDICT WHITEHEAD.
In the sketch of this gentleman's life, given in the last number of the RECORD, reference was mostly made to him, as con- nected with the church, and but little said about him as a Justice of the Supreme Court. There are some incidents in his life, as a Judge, which space would not permit to be given before.
When Judge Whitehead took his seat on the bench, no more able or brilliant array of Counsel was,to be found anywhere than at the Bar of New Jersey. At the Capital of the State were Peter D. Vroom, Garret D. Wall, Wm. Halsted and Henry W. Green, afterwards Chief Justice and Chancellor, whose decisions in both those positions have been quoted by the English Courts with great approbation, and Mercer Beasley, now Chief Justice of the State. At this end of the State were Isaac H. Williamson, Theo- dore Freelinghuysen, Att'y Gen. and U. S. Senator, Wm. Pennington, for seven years Governor, Oliver S. Halsted, Senr., after- wards Chancellor, and Chancellor Asa Whitehead, Aaron S. Pennington, Henry A. Ford, Jacob W. Miller. Among the younger men were Benjamin Williamson, afterwards Chancellor for many years. Edward W. Whepley, afterwards Chief Justice, Amzi Armstrong, A. C. M. Pennington. In other parts of the State were Alexander Wurts, Abraham Browning, Abraham O. Zabriskie, Chancellor for one terin, Wm. L. Dayton,
made Associate Justice of the Supreme Court at the early age of 29, afterwards U. S. Senator and minister to France, Peter Vredenburg, also Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Joseph C. Hornblower was Chief Justice. These are but representative men.
Judge Whitehead's first experience, as a Judge in a murder trial, was most peculiar. It was an important case, interesting in all its aspects and it created the profoundest sensation in the county of Essex where it was tried.
A house, near the Market street depot, at Newark, had been burned between eight and nine o'clock at night, and two persons, a man and his wife, destroyed by the fire. Suspicion pointed at once to a man named Thomas Marsh, the former owner of the property. He had exchanged it with Gers- hom Cheddick for a farm near Rahway. Marsh was a shrewd, cunning man, but, this time, had been outwitted by Cheddick in making the exchange. After his arrest, Marsh was indicted. The theory of the State was that Marsh, finding himself cheat- ed, determined that Cheddick should reap no advantage from his fraud, and resolved to burn the house down, before Cheddick could take possession. But Cheddick, fear- ing that he would not obtain possession of the house in Newark, removed his family thither before he was expected,and was sleep- ing soundly in the house on the fatal night.
Marsh lived in New York, and when the trial came on, it was necessary that his presence should be proved in Newark and near the house. The evidence of his guilt, en- tirely circumstantial, was dependent, in a large measure, upon the exact moment of time when the fire broke out. According to the theory of the State, Marsh came out from New York in the train leaving at eight o'clock, went to the house, only a few minutes walk from the depot, fired it and returned to the city in the train leaving Newark at nine o'clock. The evidence was strongly conclu- sive as to Marsh's guilt, but there was a linger- ing doubt in the minds of many as to its being sufficient to convict. He was, however, con- victed. His counsel were a gentleman and his son ; the father, one of the leading men at the Bar of Essex County, an experienced and able advocate and who afterwards was

THE RECORD.
raised to the highest judicial position in the State. The son, then just licensed, was a young man of great ability and afterwards became prominent as a politician. The father and Judge Whitehead had been rival candidates for the position of associate Jus- tice, in which contest Judge Whitehead had been successful. During the trial the elder counsel for the prisoner, an impulsive, quick tempered man, had been led away by his zeal for his client, and perhaps by other feelings, to a course of conduct, which no one regretted more than he, and Judge Whitehead was obliged to order him into arrest. It was a most trying ordeal for a Judge, especially under the circum- stances. The forbearance, the dignity and Christian bearing of Judge Whitehead were most remarkable. But the most singu- lar part of the whole transaction was this, that before the close of the trial and on the summing up of the testimony to the Jury, the leading counsel for the prisoner showed most unmistakable evidence of aberration of mind. This placed the presiding Judge in the most delicate position. The manner in which, through the whole trial, he had met the difficulties of the case, had elicited uni- versal respect, but here was a new dilemma to meet which there could have been no possible preparation. It was met, however, and in a manner which only increased the admiration of those present.
After the verdict of guilty, Marsh employ- ed Asa Whitehead and Gov. Pennington, and a motion for a new trial was made to Chief Justice Hornblower, who was called in to hear and decide the motion. The Chief Justice, it is said, after argument, de- cided to refuse the motion and had actually, prepared an adverse opinion, but finally yielded to the arguments and persuasions of Judge Whitehead, and the motion was granted. Marsh was retried and acquitted.
The sound common sense mind of Judge Whitehead made him a valuable addition to the Bench. His opinions were always re- garded with respect, and were the result of thorough research and the most patient in- vestigation. One of the earliest delivered by him, in 1842, was in the celebrated case of Den. vs Allaire. This was an impor- tant case, involving many intricate and ab- struse principles of law, and the opinion of
Judge Whitehead, which was acceded to by all the members, showed immense amount of industrious labor and a thorough exami- nation of the subject. The cause was argued by the first Counsel in the country, Henry W. Green and William L. Dayton for Plain- tiff, and Peter D. Vroom and George Wood for Defendant.
All causes presented to Judge Whitehead, both at Circuit and at Bar, received the same patient, industrious investigation, and the record of his opinions left in the books of reports, only serve to enforce the respect that is due to a learned and la- borious Jurist and impartial Judge, and a Christian gentleman.
CLIPPINGS.
There is a beautiful practice common throughout a portion of Mexico for little children to kneel before a stranger and pray that he may have a safe journey.
A Coptic church of the fifth century has recently been discovered among the ruins of Thebes. The way down to it is by five brick steps, the floor is tiled and the walls are of rough bricks, bearing inscriptions. On a stela, covered with a hard white sub- stance, are 300 lines written in red ink in Theban, forming part of a sermon directed against heretics.
In Prussia the numeral Protestants are to the numeral Catholics almost exactly two to one. In Bavaria the position is more than reversed in favor of the Catholics, who are five to two ; in Elsass Lothringen they are more than four to one. On the other hand, Saxony, in spite of its Catholic king, counts less than 100,000 Catholics and not far from 3,000,000 Protestants. The Jews are about one-half of the population.
It is now claimed that Prof. Sattler of Munich, has solved the problem of the day of Christ's birth, and that he has demonstrated the fact that "Jesus was born on the 25th of December, 749 years after the founding of Rome :" so that the current year is pro- perly 1888 of this era, rather than 1883. This claim is heralded widely by German, English and American periodicals. Yet the truth is, that the arguments as made by Professor Sattler, and the precise results re- ported by him, are identical with those given
64
THE RECORD.
by the Rev'd Dr. S. J. Andrews, of Hart- ford, Connecticut, twenty years ago, in the Chronological Essays which precede his life of our Lord,-a work which has prominence in England as in America for its critical ac- curacy in chronological details. The only addition by Professor Sattler is the corro- boratory evidence of certain Roman coins to which he refers .- Sunday School Times.
It has been claimed for German scholars that any statements made by them on bibli- cal or scientific subjects are entitled to the highest respect because of the well known fact that they give to the examination of any subject most extended investigation with patient and profound research.
The contributions of American scholars are now received with almost equal respect. In fact, it may be said that on both sides of the Atlantic, in many instances the results of American scholarship are held in just as high estimation as are those of the Ger- man.
In the last issue of the RECORD reference was made to this subject of Christian Chro- nology in connection with Prof. Sattler's views ; but. a doubt was expressed by the Editor, as to the date fixed by him of the birth of Christ, that is the 25th of Dec. It is not known whether Dr. Andrews agreed with Prof. Sattler with regard to this date, and the extracts just given from the Sunday School Times throw no light on that subject. Whether there is an agree- ment between these two learned scholars, or not, that doubt is still held. [EDITOR.]
The minutes of last Conference of the Methodists at Leeds, in Aug., 1806, repre- sent the members of that society to be as follows :
In Great Britain, 110,803
Ireland,
23,773
Gibralter, 40
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and New Foundland, 1,418 . West India, whites, 1,775
Colored people, 13,165
14,940
U. S. whites, 95,628
Colored people 24,317
119,945
270,919
Of these upwards of 109,000 are found in England and Wales, to which may be added
109,000 more, who have not ventured to have their names enrolled ; and, to these may be added the younger branches of families, making about 218,000 more, forming in the whole nearly half a million of persons ! ! !- Monthly Magazine, April, 1808.
The exclamation points are not the RE- CORD'S. How many would the wondering editor of the Magazine have placed after his article, if he could have looked into the fu- ture and have learned into what proportions the Methodists have now grown ?- EDITOR.
The time may be delayed, the manner may be unexpected, but sooner or later, in some form or another, the answer is sure to come. Not a tear of sacred sorrow, not a breath of holy desire, poured out in prayer to God, will ever be lost ; but in God's own time and way it will be wafted back again in clouds of mercy, and fall in showers of blessings on you and those for whom you pray .- Prof. W. S. Tyler.
OVERDOING IN CHARITIES.
Laziness and intemperance are the two great crimes against society. And we have much reason for believing that they are in- creased by the pious zeal of good people to provide for the indolent and the victims of drink.
Society gives too much in mistaken charity.
If the lazy and the intemperate were made to work and restrained from drink, there would be very little need of providing for the poor. We would require hospitals for the sick and wounded. Providential mis- fortune must be cared for, and the deserving poor must be supported.
But it is a divine principle that he who will not work does not deserve to have any- thing to eat.
Therefore we would have laziness and in- temperance treated as vices to be punished ; and certainly the want of food is a light penalty to impose on him who will drink what is evil and will not work for his daily bread.
" The worst enemy, therefore, of those en- gaged in real charitable work is the indis- criminate and reckless giver. He undoes whatever good work they do."-N. Y. Ob- server.

The remains of George Whitefield are beneath the pulpit of the old Presbyterian Church in Newburyport, Mass.
The RECORD for next month will contain interesting extracts from Mr. Barnes's "Manual of Our Church."
Special attention is requested to the list begun in the next column. Doubtless most of our readers can furnish some information. It is very desirable that the facts should be had before publishing the roll of members received during the pastorates of Drs. Fisher and McDowell.
A private diary contains this entry, under date of Sept. 29, 1842 : "Attended the cen- tenary celebration. Doct. Fisher preached the sermon, in place of Dr. Richards, who was sick. The house was pretty well filled." This was probably the centenary anniver- sary of the church, since Dr. Johnes came in 1742 ; but it seems to have passed very quickly out of memory. Dr. Irving writes, " When I was hunting facts, no one men- tioned that celebration to me." Who can give an account of the occasion ?
WHO CAN TELL?
Information is desired concerning the fol- lowing members of the church. Did they unite with other churches, and if so, what churches? Did they remove from Morris- town, if so, when ? Are they dead? If so, the date of death ? Are they living? If so, where? In case of the names of women, if married after joining the church, what was the date of marriage and name of husband ? Our readers will confer a favor by sending a postal card, addressed to the "Pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Morristown, N. J.," with such information as they can fur- nish respecting any one or more of the names given below :
