HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
OPENING THE LYCH-GATE.
A Lych-Gate, after designs of Hewitt, architect, erected at the main entrance to St. Mary's Churchyard, was formally opened on Sunday, June 17th, 1883, immediately before the morning service.
The vested choristers and visiting clergy, together with the congregation, moved in procession from the Sunday School rooms, outside the churchyard wall, down Broad street to the Lych-Gate, which was closed and locked.
The Rector of the parish, attended by the Wardens and Vestrymen, and having the key of the Lych-Gate in his hand in open view, came from the sacristy inside the churchyard to the gate, and standing there, said the following, which he origi- nated for the occasion :
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Forasmuch as sundry devout persons in Burlington and elsewhere have, with the approval of the authorities of St. Mary's Parish, erected this Lych- Gate to the glory of JESUS CHRIST, and in loving memory of Stephen Germain Hewitt, and have requested that it be publicly received and opened with an office of benediction, now therefore are we all here present before God to beg His blessing on it.
Then the Rector said :
Our help is in the name of the Lord ;
R. Who hath made heaven and earth.
V. Blessed be the Name of the Lord;
R. Henceforth, world without end.
V. Lord, hear our prayer ;
R. And let our cry come unto Thee.
Let us pray :
Our Father, who art in heaven, etc.
O Lord God who lovest the gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of Jacob, vouchsafe graciously to accept, bless, and hallow this Fabric, that who- soever shall enter in at these gates to worship the Lord may be blessed in their going out and coming in from this time forth forevermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Remember, O Lord, for good, all those who have given of their time, labor, and substance towards this Memorial : help them so to do Thy com- mandments that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates of the city eternal in the heavens ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Almighty God, who, through Thine only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, hast overcome death and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life, grant unto us here present, and to all whose mortal bodies shall rest here for burial, that through the grave and gate of death we may pass to our joyful resurrection ;
LYCH-GATE OF ST. MARY'S CHURCHYARD.

IN BURLINGTON.
for His merits, who died, and was buried, and rose again for us, Thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty God, with whom the souls of the faithful are in joy and felicity, we give Thee hearty thanks for the good example of all those Thy servants who now rest from their labors. And we beseech Thee, that we, with all those who are departed in the true faith of Thy holy name, may have our perfect consummation and bliss, both in body and soul, in Thy eternal and everlast- ing glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Almighty God, who hast knit together Thine elect in one communion and fellowship, in the mystical body of Thy Son Christ our Lord, grant us grace so to follow Thy blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those unspeakable joys which Thou hast prepared for those who unfeignedly love Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Here the Rector added :
O Key of the House of David, holy and true, who openest and no man shuttetli, and shuttest and no man openeth, be graciously pleased to unbar the gates of all our hearts, and enter in and dwell there, who art with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God world without end. Amen.
The Sentence of Opening followed on this wise :
In behalf of the Rector, Church Wardens and Vestrymen of St. Mary's Church, of the city of Burlington, and State and Diocese of New Jersey, on this 17th day of June, in the year of Grace 1883, I, George Morgan Hills, D. D., Rector of said Church, do accept this Lych-Gate erected to the glory of JESUS CHRIST, and in loving memory of STEPHEN GERMAIN HEWITT, as a sacred trust; and in token thereof do unlock and open the same, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Here the Rector unlocked, and the Church Wardens threw open, the gates.
Then the Rector said :
V. This is the gate of the Lord.
R. The righteous shall enter into it.
V. O go your way into His gates with thanksgiving.
R. And into His courts with praise.
Then the choristers and clergy, followed by the congregation, passed through the Gate into the churchyard, and to the west door of the Church, singing PSALM CXXII .- Lctatus Sum.
Having reached the west door, Hymn 187 was sung as a pro- cessional in the Church ; which being ended, Morning Prayer followed and the celebration of the holy Eucharist.
Inside the Lych-Gate, on the arch of the roof, facing south, is a brass plate, with this inscription :

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
+ TO THE GLORY OF JESUS CHRIST, THE FIRST FRUITS OF THEM THAT SLEPT,
.THIS LYCH-GATE WAS ERECTED A. D. 1883, IN LOVING MEMORY OF STEPHEN GERMAIN HEWITT,+
BY MANY FRIENDS WHO HOLDING HIM IN EVERLASTING REMEMBRANCE
ARE ANIMATED BY HIS EXAMPLE TO PRAY THAT ALL FLESH HERE COMMITTED TO THE GROUND, MAY REST IN HOPE AND RISE WITH JOY.
" BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MAY HAVE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE, AND MAY ENTER IN THROUGH THE GATES INTO THE CITY.
RENEWED, ENRICHED, AND REOPENED.
During the months of July, August, and September of 1883, St. Mary's Church was closed for renewal and adornment, the congregation meanwhile worshipping regularly in the old Church. The walls were painted throughout in oils, the chancel decora- tions extended, and the altar-cross, vases and chancel railing were replaced by others of brass. į
On Sunday, September 30th, the fabric thus improved was formally reopened by the Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Western New York, acting for the Bishop of New Jersey.
At ten thirty A. M. the choristers moved from the sacristy, and were met at the west door of the nave by the Bishop and clergy, the Rector saying :
Rev. Father in God : By the authority of the Bishop of this diocese of New Jersey, and in behalf of the Rector and Wardens of this Church of St. Mary,
+ Stephen G. Hewitt, B. A., founder of the Choir-Guild of the Diocese of New Jersey, entered into life eternal, October 12th, 1882, aged 26 years. Born on St. Stephen's day, named for the protomartyr, and studying for the diaconate, he was arrested by ill-health, and passed his last years in most earnest lay-work. On the St. Stephen's day following his interment, among the offerings presented were a bier with brass mountings, and a pall of purple cloth, seven by ten feet, intersected throughout with a silk cross of white, with a crimson centrepiece, bearing the words "JESU MERCY." On the two borders of white silk, embroidered with crimson silk in Church text, are the legends, " Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord," and "The souls of the righteous are in the hands of God."
į A brass altar-desk, white dorsel-cloth, frontals for the retable, and two hymn-guides were presented at Easter, 1880. Antependia of the five ecclesi- astical colors had been used in the Church since 1871; ecclesiastical banners since 1878, and colored stoles were introduced at Advent, 1883.

IN BURLINGTON.
I request you, Arthur Cleveland Coxe, Bishop of the Diocese of Western New York, to re-open this fabric, renewed and enriched for the worship and service of Almighty God.
Bishop-Let us go forward in the Name of the Lord.
Here the choristers moved up the nave singing Psalm 122, Lætatus Sum.
On reaching the head of the nave, they opened ranks and the Bishop and clergy passed into the chancel, where the Bishop said :
Our help is in the Name of the Lord.
Answer-Who hath made heaven and earth.
Bishop-Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Answer-Henceforth world without end.
Bishop-Blessed be thy holy Name, O Lord, that it has pleased Thee to put it into the hearts of thy servants to renew, enrich, and beautify this house. Grant that whatsoever defilements it may have contracted during this work, being purged and done away, it may be presented pure and without spot before Thee; so that, in all ways, the glory of the latter house may be greater than the glory of the former, to the eternal praise of thy holy Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty and everliving God, we humbly beseech thy Majesty, that as thy only begotten Son was presented in the Temple; so we may be presented unto thee with pure and clean hearts, by the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Then the Bishop, turning to the people, said :
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Ministering by the authority of the Rt. Reverend Father in God, JOHN, Bishop of New Jersey, and in his behalf, I pronounce this Church re-opened for all holy offices, according to the terms of its consecration : and, by these solemnities, duly sanctified and blessed, if by any means it hath been subjected, during process of renewal and adornment, to any other than becoming uses, pure words and pious acts, in accordance with said consecration: So, then, henceforth and forever let it be said: "How dreadful is this place : this is none other than the House of God and this is the Gate of Heaven."
Here the Rector said :
We wait for thy loving kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
Morning prayer followed, the special lessons being Haggai II. to verse 10, and Revelations XXI., at verse 10.
The Bishop was celebrant at the holy Eucharist, and preached from I. Tim. III., 16, "Seen of angels."
The attendance was the largest since Easter day, and the singing particularly fine. The Bishop, bidding the choristers " good-bye," after evening prayer, said that he had never heard Coronation sung better, even by the trained choirs in the Cathedrals of England.

After he came to Burlington he always attended, with great regularity, St. Mary's Church, and the first request in his Will is that his body be buried in its Churchyard. A handsome cross, with appropriate inscriptions, now marks the head of his grave. ECCLESIASTICUS III. : 30.

CENTENNIAL OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CHURCH IN NEW JERSEY.
In accordance with the suggestion of the Bishop of New Jersey in his Episcopal Address of 1883, with reference to " marking properly " the hundredth anniversary of the organization of the Church in New Jersey, and in pursuance of the plans of the joint committee of the two dioceses now in the State, the Bishops of New Jersey and Northern New Jersey, and a large number of clergymen and laymen from both dioceses, together with the Bishop of Pittsburgh and other invited guests, assembled May 5th, 1885, in Christ Church, New Brunswick, where a century ago was held the " first sitting " of the Convention.
The place, the day, and the occasion were all in harmony. The venerable building and its seemly churchyard filled with memorials of the historic dead were never more impressive.
At 9 A. M. there was a celebration of the holy Eucharist, the Rt. Rev. John Scarborough, D. D., Bishop of New Jersey, being celebrant, assisted by the Rev. E. M. Rodman, M. A., Dean of New Brunswick, and the Rev. L. H. Lighthipe, M. A., of Woodbridge.
The Rev. E. B. Joyce, S. T. B., Rector of Christ Church, was also in the sanctuary, and the music was rendered by the parish choir.
¿ The remainder of those given by the S. P. G .- See Index. Also the following :
" Fredericton, New Brunswick, " 15th Augt. 1803
" Sir
"Since my Note to you, of June 18th. I have been favored with your answer to my letter of the 11th of April. * * *
" I was very much gratified by the information contained in your letter-that the Society for propagating the Gospel had granted you a deed for their Lands in Burlington, and I hope they may be to you productive of encreasing emolument.
I am, Sir, your most obedient and most humble Servant
The Revd. Doctor Wharton

IN BURLINGTON.
At eleven o'clock there was a second celebration of the holy Eucharist, the music being Tours in F, Mr. Charles W. Walker, of St. John's Church, Elizabeth, presiding at the organ. The procession formed in the parish building, and moved through the churchyard, entering the west door of the nave: First, seventy choristers, in cassocks and cottas, men and boys selected from six of the seven wards of the Choir Guild of the diocese, viz., St. Mary's Church, Burlington ; Christ Church, Elizabeth ; Christ Church, South Amboy; Trinity Church, Princeton ; Christ Church, Bordentown; and St. James's Church, Long Branch ; under the direction of the Rev. H. H. Oberly, M. A., Precentor of the Guild; then, all the vested clergy present, several of whom wore their proper hoods; and, lastly, the three prelates in their Episcopal robes.
The processional hymn was, " Rejoice, ye pure in heart," music by Messiter.
The Rt. Rev. Thomas A. Starkey, D. D., Bishop of Northern New Jersey, was celebrant, the Rt. Rev. Cortlandt Whitehead, D. D., Bishop of Pittsburgh, epistoler, and the Rt. Rev. John Scarborough, D. D., Bishop of New Jersey, gospeller. There were also in the sanctuary the Rev. C. C. Tiffany, D. D., of New York, representing the Assistant-Bishop of that diocese ; the Rev. George Morgan Hills, D. D., Dean of Burlington ; the Rev. J. Nicholas Stansbury, B. D., Dean of Newark ; the Rev. B. Franklin, D. D., Chairman of Committee of Arrangements, and the Rev. E. B. Joyce, S. T. B., Rector of Christ Church, New Brunswick. The Nicene Creed was sung in monotone, with obligato accompaniment on the organ. This was followed by the hymn, " Glorious things of Thee are spoken," to the tune of Austria.
The sermon was by the Rev. J. F. Garrison, M. D., D. D., of Camden, from :
GENESIS XXXII .: 10 .- " And Jacob said, I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my stuff I passed over this Jordan ; and now I am become two bands."
The sermon being ended, Benedictus qui venit was sung as an Offertory Anthem, and the offerings were divided equally be- tween the two dioceses.
After the Prayer of Consecration, the hymn " Bread of Heaven, on Thee we Feed," was sung to the tune of Clapham. A very large number of communicants received. Immediately after the blessing, the Nunc Dimittis to Tonus Regius was sung, followed by the retrocessional, " Angel Voices ever Singing," by Sullivan.
782
HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
At 2 P. M. the Bishops, clergy, and laity, including many ladies, were handsomely entertained at a collation in Recreation Hall.
At 3:30 P. M. the three Bishops took seats upon a platform at the east end of the Hall, and the concourse drew about them in a large semicircle.
The Bishop of New Jersey called the assembly to order, and made an address ; which was followed by addresses from the Bishop of Northern New Jersey, the Bishop of Pittsburgh, the the Rev. C. C. Tiffany, D. D., the Rev. Geo. Morgan Hills, D. D., the Rev. Edward B. Boggs, D. D., the Rev. N. Pettit, Mr. James Parker, and the Rev. B. Franklin, D. D. t
At 5 P. M. another large congregation assembled in Christ Church, where Evening Prayer was sung by the Rev. H. H. Oberly, M. A .; the Rev. E. B. Joyce, S. T. B., reading the lessons. About fifty vested choristers aided in this service. The processional was Hey wood's, "Forth to the Fight, ye Ransomed," the special Psalms 65, 66 and 67, were sung to Gregorian tones; the anthem was Calkin's, " Rejoice in the Lord, ye Righteous ;" the retrocessional, Smart's "Light's abode, celes- tial Salem."
The music at all the services wa's marked by great precision, both in time and tune; the organist playing his accompaniments with taste and skill. More general or hearty singing on the part of congregations is seldom if ever heard.
The next day, at the Annual Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey, held in the same place, a committee was appointed to prepare for publication an extended account of these pro- ceedings.
+ For these addresses in full, see MEMORIAL of this Centennial appended to Journal N. J. Convention, 1885.
ERRATUM .- On p. 390, Bishop McIlvaine's first parish is said to be George- town, Del. It should be Georgetown, D. C.
