BY THE


REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.,


The year previous to his coming to this place,the Presbyterian Church, then in its in- fancy in this land, had been rent in twain. It consisted at that time of 6 Presbyteries and one Synod, called the Synod of Philadelphia," Its ministry was gathered from different countries, whose early training and habits influenced their views, which, being diverse, interfered to some extent with the general harmony of the body. The points, which had elicited for years the warmest discussion, were strict adherence to Presbyterial order -the examination of candidates for the ministry, and their literary acquirements. Whilst there had been continued friction on these topics the visit of Whitefield brought matters to a crisis. In the great awakening which attended his labors, frequent scenes 'of fanaticism and extravagance were wit- nessed, that awoke the displeasure of the more rigid in the Synod, who were not backward to pronounce the whole work a


delusion. Those who warmly favored the revival, were as earnest in its approval. This, with the other matters mentioned, led to a division of the Synod in 1741-the "Old Side," as it was called constituting the Synod of Philadelphia, and the " New Side" the Synod of New York. This church naturally came into connection with the New Side, with many of whose views by reason of association and education Mr. Johnes warmly sympathized.


We are now brought to his active labors. in the congregation, in which we are to view him as a man of God, anxious to do. good, to build up the waste places and bring his hearers to Christ. Of the style of his preaching but little judgment can be form- ed, as none of his sermons, as far as we know, were ever printed, * and but few of his MSS. remain, and scarcely any with us to- day are old enough to remember the style and character of his productions. We have, however, the record of these gathered from a former generation, and published in 1828, as follows : "As a preacher he is said to have been clear, plain, practical and persua- sive. His discourses were rather an affec- tionate appeal to the heart, than profound, and elaborate disquisition on abstruse points of theology. He aimed rather to win men to. the practice of holiness, than to terrify and denounce them." And, says one yet amongst us, Dr. Lewis Condict, in a vigorous old: age, and who was with him a great deal in his last days, " As a preacher he was popu- lar, impressive and earnest, speaking from the heart with affectionate kindness-he seldom failed to reach the hearts of his hearers. His sermons were seldom written out, but consisted of brief notes, on which he enlarged extemporaneously. He dwelt -

THE RECORD,


on the practical duties of Christianity, with in harmony with the laws of affection and fervor and plainness, seldom, if ever, indulg- ing in speculative theology or metaphysics, His favorite authors were Flavel, Baxter, Bunyan and Doddridge. His delivery was natural and unaffected, with animation and earnestness adapted to his subject and suffi- cient to show that he felt the full force of the truths he uttered.


As a pastor he was much with his people : visiting from house to house, and becoming acquainted with the circumstances of every family. In these interviews, he sought as in the pulpit to bring home the concerns of eternity to the hearts and consciences of each and by his kind words and genial manner he not only inculcated pure sentiments but was instrumental in training many in the ways of sobriety and godliness. He was particular in his attention to the children and youth, collecting them at stated periods in their respective neighborhoods and school houses, hearing recitations in the catechism, explaining its truths and occa- sionally bestowing upon those whose pro- ficiency was most apparent, some little token of approbation. By his kind atten- tions he won their hearts and retained them through life. His admonitions became law and as they grew up, they treated him with respect, venerated his presence and loved him for his excellencies. Then the power of the clergy was great and was skil- fully used by him. The child scarcely, if ever, heard their pastor disparaged and his instructions contemned and as a conse- quence, the seed that he scattered and his efforts to benefit were accompanied in due time with God's blessing, so that in his old age he found an entire congregation, whose hearts and minds had been moulded by his ministry, to be largely in unison with his own.


concord. He was dignified in deportment yet easy of access ; still no one could trifle with him nor use unbecoming language in his presence. In church discipline he was strict . as the many cases left on record abundantly testify. amounting in all to 170 This arose in part from the texture of so- ciety and from social usages which led the unwary astray.


He was a man of great system and order, having a time for every duty. His days and hours for study and preparation for the pulpit were understood by his people, as well as his days for visiting and receiving visits. His church records exhibit the name of every member from the commencement to the close of his ministry, as well as mar- riages, births, baptisms and generally the ages of the children. Says the aged mem- ber alluded to and to whom I am greatly indebted for important reminiscenses of Dr. Johnes and who has had many opportunities of inquiring as to the time of marriage of parties, &c., " In but one instance have [; found a disagreement as to the date of the marriage and that variance was but of a single day, and in that case the widow after much reflection admitted her own mistake and that the record of her minister was correct.".


Whilst in all these things he was a model pastor, the same regularity is not apparent in his attendance upon church courts. As the records of the Presbytery are lost we cannot tell how punctual he was in attend- ance upon its meetings. But those of the Synods of New York and Philadelphia are preserved and we find him often absent. At the first meeting of the Synod of New York after the division, held in Elizabeth- town, 1745 ; he was present, with Joseph Prudden, an elder from this church. In the At certain seasons, he held regular meet- ings for young men, giving written ques- tions from the Bible to those who were willing to give written answers, which were publicly read and commented upon by him. The children when catechised always stood up. as a mark of respect to the minister. following year a large number of absentees is recorded, among whom was Timothy, Johnes, but with this insertion, "The Synod is informed that most of the absent members were upon their journey to New York to attend the Synod, but were prevented through apprehensions of the small pox He was preeminently a lover of peace and a peacemaker. Quick to discern any coldness or contention between neighbors, he was and other difficulties," In 1747 he is pres- ent with Joseph Prudden ; absent, in the years :48, '49,' 'SI, '52, but present at not at ease until the difficulties were removed | Philadelphia in 1753; at Newark, 1754 and

'36; absent in 1758, when the two Synods of New York and Philadelphia after a separ. ation of 17 years were happily reunited, after mutual concession had been made .. In 1764 he is again present with his faithful elder Joseph Prudden and both are placed on the commission of Synod. In 1, 68 he is a mem- ber with Col. Jacob Ford as elder and is appointed one of a committee to visit Bed- ford, N. Y., and settle all the differences in the congregation. His last attendance upon the body was in 1779, when he opened the Synod with a sermon, having been moder- ator the preceding year,


I have not been able to learn the amount of salary promised to the young pastor on his acceptance of the call, or in what way it was to be paid. In those days many of the congregations furnished their ministers with a house and farm or else promised him, in the call, a sum of money to buy a planta- tion. Thus when Mr. Hubbel was settled at Hanover and Westfield, the congregation gave him as a settlement so many acres of parsonage land in fee simple, while all who chose bound themselves by a covenant to be assessed according to their property. The salaries were often paid in kinds, wheat, Indian corn, hemp and linen yarn being frequently specified in the call. Yea, every imaginable article from " a riddle to a Squire's publishment of a marriage " has been found on the count books of ministers as being received in payment of stipend. Tradition makes the cash part of Mr. Johnes' ( To be continued.) *See charter in RECORD, Jan. 1880 .- ED. 1 . . salary at first to be {20, a trifle over $50.

These rates were assessed upon the property or income, and collected by a person or persons appointed by the congre- gation and this custom continued until the building of the present edifice, which was commenced upon the same plan of assess- ment. Though we find at times that notes for the rates and subscriptions were put into the Dr.'s. hands which he took as an equiv- alent for salary, making such reduction for the poor as he deemed proper.

The dwelling now occupied by Eugene Ayers, in Morris street, was the parsonage, and was either given to Dr. Johnes or was purchased for a small sum which he afterwards enlarged, and to the lot, on which the house stood, other lands bought by him were added. His children were well educated and trained for useful- ness, and at his death he left an estate, which at that day was deemed large and val- uable.
