HISTORICAL SERMON-No. 2. By REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.


We are brethren possessing the same same, the same faith and belonging to the sme great family, and as such should labor for the same end in harmony and in love. It has been to me a matter of regret that the church did not divide before. Besides, Morris township was larger in population in 1815 than in 1830, the church was much larger in regard to attendance and in mem- bership in 1820 than in 1840, and everything demanded that a new enterprise should be started. 'Had the spirit that reared this building been manifested in church exten- sion in later times, Presbyterianism would be much more influential in the community than it now is, but self more than God's glory kept together a large hive, so that when God saw that they would not swarm he permitted another spirit to enter and thus drive them apart. For the result we thank God. Mr. K. went out with the col- ony, when those that remained called the Rev. A. H. Dumont, D. D., which call he ac- cepted and was installed January 17, 1841. His ministry was exercised under trying


circumstances. There was much excitement in the community, the congregation was greatly reduced, pew rents were inadequate to meet the expenditures, and a few had liberally to meet the deficiencies, but it was done, a large salary was given, the church building thoroughly repaired, and other large sums contributed that at least showed a willing mind and a desire to perpetuate the old prestige of the church. In one of the old papers of the town we have the fol- lowing respecting Mr. D.'s ministry : " The lover of oratory could have no greater treat nor the intellectual man a richer repast than in listening to those productions so replete with admirable reasoning and beautiful imagery. It is true he was no visitor but his deficiency in this respect was by no means owing to any want of colloquial tal- ent or natural aversion to the delights of social intercourse, but he seemed to prefer the retirement of his study and the uninte- rupted enjoyment of his peculiar pursuits to everything else." During his ministry of four and a half years 53 were added on examination and 58 by letter. On Sept. 21. 1843, Ezra Mills was ordained elder. In Mr. D. sent in his resignation, and in due time he was loosed from his pastoral charge. On Sept. 1. 1845, a call was made and pre- sented to Rev. Jonathan B. Condict-it was not accepted. On the ensuing November a call was given to Alex'r R. Thompson, li- centiate, which he accepted and was ordain- ed, and installed by the Presbytery of Eliza- beth Town, Jan. 14. 1848, the Rev. Dr. Broadhead, of Brooklyn, preached the ser- mon. On May 3d of the same year Ira C. Whitehead was ordained Ruling Elder. Measures were taken this year for the erec- tion of a parsonage house, which was finish- ed in 1847. and has been occupied since by the successive pastors. Owing to

certain difficulties arising respecting church Psalmody Mr. Thompson felt constrained in the month of June to tender his resigna- tion, and to his request the congregation reluctantly assented, and his pastoral con- nection with this church was dissolved by Presbytery July 28, 1847 ; 31 were added to the communion roll, 10 by examination and 31 by certificate.

On Dec. 16,1851, the Rev. John H. To ley was installed pastor by Presbytery, Rev. Dr. Murray preaching the sermon. Townley had for several years been pasto the church at Hackettstown, where he beloved and where God had blessed his istrations. He came here at a trying ti yet by his holy walk and conversation, devotedness to his master's service, his tiring zeal and his faithful exhibition of truth, he commended himself to ma hearts, winning their esteem, confide and affection. God blessed his labors. brought with him the seeds of that dise that closed his ministry on earth and t cut him off in the strength of his days, to the last he sought to preach the searchable riches of Christ, and he of yielded when he was unable to declare message of God, and on the 5th of F 1855, he was gathered to his fathers, second pastor that died sustaining this lation to this church.


The Rev. James Richards, of Penn Yan, was the next pastor, being inducted into that office by Presbytery Dec. 28, 1847. This installation was fruitful in pleasant as- sociations. Dr. Magie acquainted with his father, the former pastor of this church, de- livered a solemn charge to the pastor in which he alluded to the bright constellation of ministers that constituted the Presbytery when he entered it in his youth and then said : "Among all, I say it with the earn- estness of thorough conviction, there is not one to whom my mind reverts with a deeper and more filial reverence than to James Richards. He was so wise, so judi- cious, so prudent. His counsel in those days was as if a man inquired at the oracle Mr. Townley was born at Westfield, & sex County, N. J., on March, 1818, was graduate of the College of N. Jersey and the Theological Seminary, Princeton, af which he accepted a call to the Presbyt rian Church of Hackettstown and then the First Church of Morristown. His fum ral services took place on Feb. 8, 1855. D Murray preached the sermon on the ter "God so loved the world," &c., a text selec ed by the deceased that the gospel migt again be preached to his people over his mains. Of him the Session have recorded " that as a pastor his qualities of mind aol heart, and his excellencies of life. and chan acter have made him a rich blessing to this church and congregation." During his three years pastorate 85 were received inte communion with the church, 35 on exami nation and 50 by certificate. of God. Everywhere, in the pulpit, the lec- ture room, the parlor and the market place. he was the same upright, dignified, consis- tent Christian minister. You will oft be re- minded of your honored sire as you go in and out among this people. The aged pil- grim here will live to speak of his preach- ing, his prayers, and his counsel, and they will thank God for one who bears his name and fills his place. May his mantle fall on you and your heart he imbued with a dou- ble portion of his spirit." How this was realized, his walk, conversation and deport- ment you well know. The rumors that arose and the painful recollections that fol- lowed, together with the tedious trial of Presbytery are all fresh in your minds and need not be enlarged upon ; as a preacher he was popular, earnest and vehement; in · social intercourse he was affable and win- On Nov. 5, 1855, the present pastor was inducted into the pastoral office, the Rev. Chas. K. Imbrie, of Jersey City, preached the sermon. During these official relations the word preached has not been in vain, There has been an actual gain to the church of about 80. In this period 176 have beca added, the larger portion on confession of ning. The last sermon he preached was in- strumental in the conversion of a young man who was a few months ago called from our midst, just, after he had finished his theological course and had commenced preaching the gospel of the Son of God. He resigned his pastoral charge in July, 1851, having, during his ministry, received their faith. The church edifice has been

Domughly renovated, which, with the pay- Muss of an old debt, has amounted to **** Four active elders have been added the other excellent body of men that *saututed the session, Messrs. Stevenson, MMvacant, Davis and Little. The benevo- Wer of the church has largely expanded # there is not a church in the state in pro- ption to its ability that has contributed Quiet for the spread of the gospel than this dear the last four years.


A few brief reflections and I have done. When the First Church edifice was rear- at there were no buildings around the park, wo streets except Water street, leading to # the park was a forest and the roads to Askingridge and Mendham were principal- ly the Indian trail. Hanover was the miy church organized in the county-now Dere are II in the township. Then the Province had no newspaper, no printing press and scarcely a decent road. There was no regular mail in the state-a weekly mail between Philadelphia and New York in Summer and bimonthly in Winter, and these were only Provincial towns. The Aneys could boast of no newspaper, and no printing press-now they are count- ed by thousands in our country.


(3) When the church was organised there were only two in the whole county, embracing at the time the counties of Sus- ** and Warren and Morris, containing a population of some 4,000 inhabitants. Now, in Morris county alone we have 48 churches, 24 Presbyterian, 13 Methodist, 5 Episcopal, 2 Reformed Dutch, I Congrega- tional, and 1 Lutheran-then the member- ship did not exceed 300. Now there are 6,000 communicants, then there were only 40 churches in the State, now there are about 850 evangelical churches with a mem- bership of about 100,000.


(3) When the first pastor was called to the pastorate in 1742, there were 54 Presby- terians ministers in the United States, now there are 6,254.


(4) When a minister was wanted to sup- ply the pulpit, this congregation knew not where to look. The Presbytery therefore wrote to the Rector of Yale College if he knew of a minister to send him thither --- we had then no college in the Province and no Theological Seminary, but were dependent pation.


on Foreign ministers or those educated in New England. Now we have hundreds of candidates. More than a 100 colleges and nearly 40 Theological Seminaries in the land under Presbyterian influence. Then there was no associated effort for the spread of the gospel or assisting the feeble. In our branch of the church alone over $3,000,000 were expended last year for the support of the gospel at home and abroad.


If these indicate progress throughout our land there are also healthful indications of spirituality in our own branch; there is more piety in the churches and fewer cases requiring discipline, now than a hundred years ago. There were 170 public confes- sions for various gross sins during Dr. Johnes' minister. The number was also great under Dr. Richards. There are, again, more professors in proportion to the popu- lation now than formerly, In the 520 fami- lies alluded to by Dr. Fisher there were only 308 professing christians; now we have over 1,300 members in the town churches, besides those that belong to the churches in New Vernon and Green Village.


Another cheering sign is that of those who unite with the church, more are from the young than formerly. Then again there is more active benevolence and less bitter party political spirit, than in the days of Richards and Fisher, and also less intem- perance.


Then, as a church we have had no sympa- thy with the ultraisms of the day, either on the right hand or on the left, in politics, re- ligion or moral reforms. This church has pursued a steady onward course from the beginning. Fanaticism has never crept in- to the pulpit or the pew ; it received a healthful direction in its infancy, and from that it has never swerved. May the same noble conservatism mark its after history --- what that future is we cannot now tell. Soon our pilgrimage will end and our relation to this church cease. Let us live nobly for heaven, cherish the previleges bequeathed to us by our fathers-adhere to their princi- ples as they were based upon God's word, and never forsake the faith that bears the impress of heaven, but bequeath it unsullied to our children, that, thus standing between the past and the future, we may look back to the one with gratitude, and forward to the other with budding hope and joyous antici-
