[to the trustees]
Apl. 12, 1823.
An application was made by Mr. Miner the teacher in the Academy for the loan of a pair of Globes belonging to the con- gregation, whereupon it was unanmiously resolved that the Globes be loaned to the teacher and that a receipt be taken for them to be returned at any time when called for by the trustees.
FROM A PAPER ISSUED BY THE TRUSTEES IN 1862.
"The means for defraying the current expenses are derived from annual assessments upon the pews and by voluntary sub- scriptions. Each pew has a specific valuation and is held only so long as the assessments are met. These are received quarterly, falling due on the first of May, August, November and February, but are payable one month in advance. Prompt payment is in- dispensible in order that the trustees may honorably meet their engagements. Pews may be rented at any season of the year. by making application to any of the trustees. Sittings will also be furnished to the poor with a due consideration of their circum- stances. Persons occupying pews will be expected in all cases to pay for their use, unless special arrangements have been made with the trustees. As the trustees occupy their office without re-
70

ward, it is highly proper that all who are interested in the wel- fare of the church should facilitate their efforts as far as possible, in order that the temporal interests of the congregation may be promptly and efficiently administered."
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
The church sexton in 1822, was Joseph B. Wood. He re- ceived an annual salary of $16 and half a pew free. In 1857 when Samuel Teller was sexton, the salary was increased to $50 per year.
In 1857 the trustees ordered the bell rung at all meetings of the congregation during the week as well as on Sunday. That same year the members of the church were asked to stand at the singing of the second hymn and the last prayer. In the receipts of that year reported in the accounts of the trustees, was a "$5 counterfeit bill."
The Board of Trustees in 1857 adopted as the seal of the church "the reverse side of a gold eagle."
In 1821 the church had its accounts "lodged in a Savings Bank in New York."
The trustees in 1861 appointed one of their number to "inform the sexton that sweeping the church and filling lamps must be done on week days instead of Sundays."

THE SABBATH SCHOOL.
For many years a union school was held in the City Hall and later in the building at the southeast corner of High and Gor- don streets. In 1835 the Presbyterian Sabbath school was organ- ized and services were transferred to the church building. The superintendent was Miss Nancy Stewart, a sister-in-law of Ben- jamin Maurice, a coal, lumber and hay dealer, and for many years a trustee of the church. Miss Stewart died in 1845. Another lady followed Miss Stewart in this office, Miss Harriet Bruen, daughter of Matthias Bruen. She was afterward the wife of Bishop Whitehouse of Illinois. This tribute has been paid to her: "A most devoted and successful Sunday-school teacher, winning many to the love of Jesus." In 1876 the school numbered one hundred and fifteen scholars and fifteen officers and teachers.
The present enrollment is: Officers and teachers, 37; scholars, 437; Keasbey school officers and teachers 2, scholars, 58; total, 534.
The superintendents have been as follows: Miss Nancy Stew- art, Miss Harriet Bruen, Miss Eveline Brown, Richard K. Todd, Stephen G. Woodbridge, Daniel Selover, Dr. C. H. Schaps, Henry D. Tyrrell, Dr. Warren, D. Thomas Vernon, Henry D. Tyrrell, Rev. Aaron Peck, Cornelius Hadden, E. W. Barnes.
CONSTITUTION ADOPTED FOR FIRST SUNDAY-SCHOOL, 1835.
Art. 1. This school shall be known as the Sab. School of the Ist Pres. Chh. of Perth Amboy.
Art. 2. This school shall be subject to the control of the Pas-

tor and his session whose duty it shall be to make or miake pro- vision for all necessary appointments.
Art. 3. The officers shall consist of first and second superin- tendents, librarian, secretary and treasurer who with the assist- ance of the teachers shall manage the affairs of the school.
Art. 4. It will be expected of the teachers that they recog- nize the system of doctrines taught in the Pres. Ch. which are summarily expressed in the "Confession of Faith" and the "Westminster Catechism" which we as a Ch. adopt as containing the system of doctrines taught in the Holy Scriptures.
Art. 5. As to the exercises of the school it shall be left to the discretion of the superintendents and teachers with the advise of the session to adopt such as in their judgment shall be most pro- motive of the best interests of the scholars, commencing and clos- ing always with prayer or singing.
MISSIONS.
Very early in the history of the organization the cause of Home Missions interested the members. The first report that is found from this church in the Minutes of the General Assembly shows an annual contribution of two dollars and fifty cents for Domestic Missions. Eighty years ago on the first Sunday even- ing of each month a prayer and praise service, a Missionary con- cert in other words, was held and in 1860 this service was changed from Sunday to Monday evening. The following in- teresting papers have been found.

No permanent organization was made, however, until 1870 when under the leadership of Mrs. Henrietta Manning, the Womans Foreign Missionary Society was formed. Mrs. Man- ning was the first president, Miss Virginia Griffith, secretary and Miss Olivia Seaman treasurer. A Harriet Newell Mission Band was at the same time organized among the young women of the church. This society did good work for ten years when it became only a name.
In December 1881, the ladies of the church met at the house of Mrs. Alfred Compton for the re-organization of the Missionary Society. Mrs. Edward W. Barnes, Sr., was elected president, Mrs. J. A. Hall, vice-president; Miss Phebe Hall, secretary and Mrs. Sarah Mitchell, treasurer. A constitution was adopted and the membership fee fixed at one dollar. This society was, how- ever, devoted exclusively to home mission work as is our present Home Missionary Society. Its meetings are held monthly, and money and gifts have not only been made to the Board of Home Missions but to churches, schools and individuals in the West. Many boxes of clothing have been sent to pastors in the home mission field.
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The present Foreign Missionary Society was organized in 1889. A mass meeting was held at the parsonage on May 6 for that purpose when a constitution was adopted and the following officers elected: President, Mrs. W: H. Hall; vice-president, Mrs. J. H. Owens; secretary and treasurer, Oscar Arner. Among the missionaries directly aided have been Miss McGilvray, of Siam, and Miss Emma Morris of India. These have addressed the society from foreign lands: Rev. Mr. Ford, Persia, Yung Wing, Huie Kin and Rev. A.A. Fulton, China; Rev. Mr. Lopez, Chile; Rev. T. S. Pond and J. D. Chamberlain, D. D., South America; Miss Schenck, Persia; Misses Emma Morris and Brown and Mrs. Rev. C. A. Janvier, India; Dr. Irwin, Korea. Other speakers from out of town have been: Rev. Wilson Phraner, D. D., Rev. Mr. Davis, Elliott Field, Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. John T. Kerr, Miss L. B. Allen, Rev. A. W. Halsey, D.D., and Miss Williams.
MITE SOCIETY.
Very early in our history the ladies sought ways and means by which they might aid in meeting the expenses of the church. In 1855 there was a Ladies' Association which contributed $50 for painting the church. The present Mite Society dates from 1878.
76
PRESBYTERIANISM IN PERTH AMBOY.
A meeting was held at the residence of William B. Mount on January 3 for the purpose of effecting an organization, its object being to "raise a parsonage fund for the Presbyterian Church, also to promote sociability among the congregation." The rec- ord of this first meeting is as follows:
I. It was resolved to call the society the Mite Society.
2. That the officers should consist of a president, vice-presi- dent, secretary and treasurer.
On motion Mrs. E. R. Bulkley was elected president, Miss Amanda Wait vice-president, Miss Bessie Wait secretary and Mrs. William B. Mount, treasurer.
3. Further resolved that any person may become a member on the payment of twenty-five cents.
4. That a collection be taken at each meeting; no contribu- tion to be less than five cents.
5. That a meeting be held on Tuesday evening of each week,
6. That a committee of four be appointed by the officers each week to arrange a program for the next meeting.
7. That dancing and refreshments be prohibited.
8. That meetings be held from 7.30 until ten o'clock.
The next meeting was held at Mr. Bulkley's residence on Jan- uary 15, and the program included music, recitations and tab- leaux. The report says, "the remainder of the evening was passed in playing games and singing college songs." So popu- lar were these socials that as many as one hundred persons have been in attendance at one time. In three months $48 had been collected. On May I, an entertainment was held in the City Hall with the following program:

Committees on the program: Tableaux-Mrs. Bulkley, Mrs. Mount, Miss Coutts and Mr. Raiguel.
Acting-Miss Nannie Wait, Miss Ella Kent, Mr. Thornall and Mr. Crowell.
The net proceeds were $45.
It was soon discovered that refreshments were necessary, but at a meeting to be held at the residence of Dr. E. B. P. Kelley, these were restricted by vote to "cake, nuts, raisins, fruit and lemon- ade." The membership the first year numbered fifty-eight; twenty-three being gentlemen. In August Capt. Cornelius White gave the society a sailing excursion to Coney Island. This ex- cursion was repeated the next year to Sandy Hook, but on re- turning in the evening the party "encountered a severe wind and rain storm and it was only through the careful seamanship of Capt. White and his crew that they reached their homes in safety."
At one of the annual meetings the "young folks occupied one room in which they hugely enjoyed the game of 'Blind Man's Buff.' "" : In 1882 a fair was held in the City Hall. That year the money of the society was changed from a parsonage to a Sab- bath school building fund. In 1883 another fair was held and $145 realized which amount was used in buying a carpet for the church. Thus in various ways and in all seasons during these twenty-five years this society has benefited the church and con- tinues with strength unabated.
THE LADIES' AUXILIARY
Was formed in 1901 for the purpose of raising funds for the new church. Two bazars were held at which large amounts were secured.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY.
This society is now sixteen years old, having been organized in 1886. Its first president was John J. Deitche and secretary Miss Meribah Roe. It began with thirteen active and three as- sociate members. The early records have been lost but from a topic card of 1887 we have the names of the following leaders for the first quarter-January to April: W. Hall, Rev. J. H. Owens, J. J. Deitche, A. D. Brodhead, E. J. Hadden, John G. Martin and E. W. Barnes.

JUNIOR ENDEAVOR.
A society among the children was organized in 1891 by Misses Ella Lyon and Grace Thompson and Mrs. W. H. Hall. This became moribund in 1889, but was revived in 1900 by Robert M. Comings and is now, under the superintendency of Mrs. Adrian Lyon and Mrs. Wilbur LaRoe, a large and busy band of Juniors.
THE BOYS' BRIGADE
is composed of members of the Sabbath School between the ages of ten and eighteen years. It was organized November, 1900. In the summer of 1901 it made an excursion to New York City and Governor's Island, at which place a reception was given by Major General John R. Brooke.
