CHAPTER X.
SEMI-CENTENNIAL EXERCISES; BRIEF OUTLINES OF SERMONS ; SUBSCRIPTION LIST FOR THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL BOOK.
BY REV. E. H. CONKLIN.
T HE Semi-Centennial celebration of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of Frenchtown, was suggested by the Rev. D. M. Matthews, at the Second Quarterly Conference held August 28th, 1895. The confer- ence was favorable to the suggestion and appointed a committee of six to have charge of the celebration. The following were the committee : D. M. Matthews, J. L. Slack, Josiah Butler, I. L. Neice, G. W. Hummer, E. H. Conklin.
It was resolved to celebrate during the week commencing with the 15th of December, 1895,and the first service was held on Monday evening, the 16th. The committee authorized the publication of a program which was to contain the order of exercises for the entire week. We had a most auspicious opening, good roads, a clear sky, and the presence of the first speaker on the list, Rev. Thomas E. Gordon, of Harrison, N. J. In beginning his remarks, he said that it was with considerable effort that he resisted the inclination to turn aside from the text and take up the recollections of his pleasant and fruitful pastorate of Frenchtown. One circumstance he must mention. It was the commencement of a revival during his second year. He came to the last of the week with scarcely any preparation for the Sabbath. Not because he had failed to labor, for he had worked hard, but because the accomplishment of what was ordinarily easy, seemed at this particular time impossible. Saturday afternoon came and found him with no sermon for the Sabbath.
It was purely providential that he met on the evening of that day, Mrs. Julia Bryant of Washington, N. J., to whom he related his experience. After finding out that Mrs. Bryant was an Evangelist, he said, " you must preach for me to-morrow morning." Which she finally consented to do. Her text was from the twelfth of Romans, "I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice" &c., &c. At the conclusion of the sermon, Brother Gordon invited all who would comply with the
158
HISTORY OF THE M. E. CHURCH,
request of the text, to come forward and kneel at the altar. He closed his eyes, somewhat afraid of the result, but when he opened them he saw the aisles filled with the coming people. And soon all available space about the altar was occupied with kneeling supplicants, and from that moment the work went on without interruption until fifty or sixty persons were converted.
Mr. Gordon took his text from the prophesy of Jeremiah, eighth chapter and twentieth verse, "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." His subject was our fleeting spiritual privileges. He first spoke of the power of Christ to save, and told a story of Bishop James, who made repeated endeavors to save a physician, who was addicted to the drink habit. He fell away many times, but as often as he fell the Bishop would " look up and lift up" until finally he was permanently restored ; a proof of the power of Jesus to save to the utmost. Among the fleeting privileges were the intercessions of Christ, the moving power of the Holy Ghost, and the blessing of choice.
Tuesday, December 17th, was the Anniversary Day, A little after six o'clock the bell struck for fifty years of church history. Rev. I. N. VanSant was the preacher for the evening. The words of his text were " If I be lifted up from the earth, 1 will draw all men unto me," (John twelve and thirty-two.) He made the statement that Christ was actually drawing all men unto Himself at the present time, and quoted the saying of the Great Napoleon : " My generals leave me, I cannot hold them ; but increasing millions follow the standard of Christ."
The drawing power of the cross was compared to a magnet. Sir Isaac Newton carried a very small one in his pocket, it weighed only three grains, but its lifting power was 756 grains. Cards placed between the magnet and the object to be lifted diminished the drawing power, and the more numerous the cards the less the pull of the magnet. It was so with Christians who allowed sinful pleasures, love of money, worldliness, to come between Christ and themselves. Rust is a non-con- ductor, and where it gathers on iron it is so much hinderance to the magnet ; and the accumulations of wickedness, like rust, will interfere with the attractive power of Christ. The magnet not only attracts to itself, but it also magnetizes whatever is brought into contract with, so that a nail being magnetized becomes itself a magnet to draw other nails to itself. So Christians filled with the Christ Spirit, act on others to draw them to the Saviour. Another thought concerning the maguet was that its power was exclusively exerted on inferior metals ; it does not act on gold, silver, pearls, precious stones, but iron. Jesus, speak- ing of the best classes of society, said, " the publicans and harlots go
159
FRENCHTOWN, NEW JERSEY.
into the kingdom of heaven before you." He came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentence.
The Rev. William McCain was on the program for Wednesday evening, but was in the midst of extra meetings at the time and could not be present. The Rev. John McMuarray, of Finesville, very kindly consented to preach in his stead. He took his text from the Book of Acts, eleven and twenty-four, " A good man full of the Holy Ghost and of faith." He said that the three qualities spoken of in the text, good- ness, faith, and the fullness of the blessing of the Holy Spirit were the essential qualities in Christian character. A man might attain success in some departments of life with little or no morality, but character was absolutely necessary for prosperous service in the Master's vine- yard. We might have many other things that would help us toward success, riches, intellect, personal influence, but these are worthless without goodness, faith, and spiritual power.
The Rev. W. E. Blakeslee was with us on Thursday evening, and preached a very earnest, gospel sermon from the text, " A sower went forth to sow." (Matthew, thirteen and three.) He prefaced his sermon by saying that it seemed like visiting his birth-place, to come to Frenchtown. It was thirty years ago last spring since he left this town. The country at that time was passing through the fire and blood of the great civil conflict. Many changes have come since then. He could recognize only a very few who were in the church when he was pastor.
His first thought on the text was, that the sower was a man, and he could not tell why God had selected man to sow the seed of the king- dom, but He had. It was a great honor to be associated with God in labor. Man went among men, and the material on which he labored was imperishable. Men work on clay or marble or granite and produce results for time. But he who scatters the seeds of truth, touches the immortal mind, and his work extends into eternity. The seed is the word of God and when planted must grow. It contains a life principle, and as sure as it is dropped into appropriate soil it will spring up. Sometimes we may grow discouraged because results seem so far away. We are to remember, however, that the command is, not to reap, but to sow. Two returned Missionary workers related the his- tory of their labors. One told how God had blessed his efforts, how churches had been built, what multitudes of souls had been saved. The other hearing such a glowing report, could scarcely be induced to speak. He had toiled through the night of years and had caught nothing. He had seen no such results as his brother Missionary, but this one thing gave him heart ; he remembered the words of the Lord
II*
160
HISTORY OF THE M. E. CHURCH,
Jesus, how He did not say, " Well done good and successful servant, but, well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord." God rewards faithfulness rather than success. The sower went forth, and did not wait for the soil to come to him, but went forth. Se are we to go forth, out in the highway, out in the by-way, the office, the shop, the saloon, wherever man can be found, and declare the truth by word and example. The preacher did not only speak to the ministry, but to the rank and file. We are all to go forth. Brother Blakeslee was greeted by a large congregation, and after the benediction was pro- nounced many of the old friends gathered about the preacher. Some were converted during the last year of his ministry in Frenchtown. They had been faithful, and the greetings were much like they shall be in the heavenly life. Great joy at the discovery of so many saved, with the added happiness that we shall go no more out forever.
Friday evening the pastors of the sister churches of the town were present. The Rev. Charles M. Deitz of the Baptist Church gave a very interesting address on the Jubilee year. It was at this Jewish festival that all debts were cancelled, all slaves were set free, the ground was not tilled, and every man was to return to his former possessions. He called attention to the spiritual significance of these thoughts. We should be joyful, we should exercise the grace of forgiveness and mercy, and work for the deliverance of souls in bondage to sin. The words of the preacher were words of counsel and kindly greeting and were highly appreciated by the people.
The Rev. W. H. Filson of the Presbyterian Church, began by quot- ing the words of St. Paul as he landed at Appii-forum, and his friends from Rome met him. " Whom, when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage," (Acts twenty-eight and fifteen.) So this church, as it passes the fiftieth mile stone, has reason to thank God and look with brightest hopes on the future. He then reviewed the events in the devel - opment of the nations of the world during this time and especially of this nation. He then spoke on what the church had done in her advance movements as illustrated by Missions, Sabbath schools, Young People's organizations &c. Then he spoke of the blessedness of having had the pure gospel preached in this church during the last half century. Expanding this idea, he spoke of the grandeur of the church and in what it consists.
1. It did not consist in her antiquity.
2. Not in architecture.
3. Not in ritual.
4. Not in the union of church and state.
5. Not in wealth.
6. Not in members.
161
FRENCHTOWN, NEW JERSEY.
Each of these is claimed by their respective advocates as constituting the true grandeur of the church. But the Jewish Church possessed all of these and yet God repudiated it.
The true grandeur of the church lies in the work of saving souls and in protecting and developing them.
The elements of her grandeur are :
1. Possession of the truth.
2. Love of the truth.
3. Obedience to the truth.
4. Charity-Paul, " More excellent way."
5. Success in saving souls.
6. Faithfulness in instructing converts.
To reach this, earnest men are needed. May this church never lack in any of the essentials of successful church work, and may her increasing years bring to her perpetual and eternal youth ; strong in the Lord and the power of His might.
On Saturday evening, the Epworth League held a service, The program was as follows :
Service of Song, - Epworth Chorus.
Prayer and Scripture Reading, Pastor. Historical Sketch, - Frank Maxwell.
The League and the Church, Rev. L. J. Gordon.

Sabbath, December 22th, 1895. On this day we were favored with the presence of two men who ministered to the people more than fifty years ago, Rev. A. M. Palmer of Newark Conference, who was pastor when the church was dedicated, and also Rev. Joseph Gaskill, who in 1842, organized a class of eleven members. During the morning service at which Rev. A. M. Palmer preached, the pastor of the church asked if there were any present who were connected with this church fifty years ago; four persons arouse, Mrs. Hannah Slack, Mrs. Catharine Wan- namaker, Mrs. Andrew Slack and Mrs. John L. Slack. The question was then asked if there were any present who were connected with the charge fifty years ago, and five more arose, viz : William Large, Esq., of Quakertown, Samuel Dalrymple and Mahlon Rittenhouse, of Everittstown, Mrs. Emma Eckel, of Washington and Mrs. Lavinia Pittenger, of Frenchtown.
A Semi-Centennial offering was taken in aid of the trustees, amount- ing to one hundred and fifteen dollars.
162
HISTORY OF THE M. E. CHURCH,
The Semi-Centennial sermon was preached by Rev. A. M. Palmer. It is omitted from this volume for waut of room, but may appear in pamphlet form.
Sabbath school anniversary was held in the afternoon under the direction of Brother G. W. Hummer, superintendent of the school, the exercises consisted of singing, also an historical address by Brother Hummer, and speeches by former superintendents.
Andrew Slack and William Stahler, Miss Emma Moore, the daughter of the first superintendent of the school, also made some remarks.
Rev. Joseph Gaskill preached in the evening to a very large and attentive audience.
The following is a brief sketch of his sermon :
The text was found in the Gospel of John, first chapter and forty- second verse.
John the Baptist was born some forty miles from Jerusalem and about seventy miles from Nazareth, the home of Jesus. He was born about six months before Jesus. It seems from the history that the mothers of these distinguished persons were intimate friends, if not related. In their youth these children were strangers to each other and had probably never met until the meeting on the bank of the Jordon. John commenced his ministry when about thirty years of age in the hill country of Judea and about the Jordan.
He preached with such telling effect that multitudes came to hear and were baptized of him, confessing their sins. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordon to be baptized of him. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, saith, "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." The next day as he saw Him walk he saith, "Behold the Lamb of God!" Two of His disciples standing near, heard him speak and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following, and saith " what seek ye?" They say unto Him, " Rabbi where dwellest thou ?" He saith, " come and see." They came and saw and abode with Him that day. One of the two disciples was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother; he findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, " we have found the Messias, which is the Christ," and he brought him to Jesus.
The central thought of the text is, influence or the means used to bring men to Jesus.
1. Knowledge of Jesus and the Scriptures.
2. Love of Jesus and His own brother Simon.
3. Faith in Jesus as the Son of God.
4. Gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. The example of a holy life.
163

Brother Matthews wrote on page 27 in regard to our semi-centennial that "an advance movement is expected in every department of Christ- ian work."
I want to add to the glory of God we have not been disappointed. Up to date, February 11th, 1896, fifty-five persons have professed con- version, the most of whom have united with the church, and the meet- ings still continue.
SEMI-CENTENNIAL HYMN.
BY J. F. DODD, D. D.
Our fathers' God, to Thee we raise Our hearts this day in grateful praise ; For all Thy love and mercy shown, To those whom here Thou long hast known.
Full fifty years of toil and care, By honored saints in faith and prayer, Has brought Thy constant blessing down, With good success their work to crown.
Thy word hath here been uttered long, In sermou, speech and joyful song ; By faithful men, with zeal and love, With holy unction from above.
Its power, as of old displayed, Hath many precious converts made ; Of whom some to this hour remain, While others with the Saviour reign.
Now, gracious God, let blessings come, On this old and honored home ; And as the years flow on apace, Endow her with abiding grace.
