Elder Abraham D. Budd, died the 31st of July, 1867. A man of cheerful disposi- tion and very friendly to the ministers of Christ.
In 1849 this church dissolved its relations with the Hill congregation and called the
REV. JOSEPH MCCONNELL.
who remained its pastor until 1853, when he removed to Illinois, where he now resides in the town of Quincy. During that period when the church was without a pastor from April, 1853, until December, 1854, the present edifice was erected. It was finished December 28th, 1853, and dedicated on the 20th of the same month. The dedication services were opened by the Rev. Williamson, who pre sided. The Rev. G. Vanarsdale, of German Valley, offered the dedicatory prayer, and the Rev. Dr. H. N. Wilson, of Hackettstowu, preached the sermon from 1st Chronicles, 29th chapter and 16th verse.
REV. DAVID M. JAMES.
That Thursday, the 29th of December, 1853, was a bitter cold day. These hills and valleys were clothed in their winter robes and the fierce winds drifted the snow in every direction. On Sabbath, January 1, 1854, your fathers assembled in this house to hold the first service after its dedication, and I preached the first sermon When I was ordained on Wednesday, October 4, 1854, Rev. Robert Street preached the sermon, Rev. J. H. Townlay gave the charge to the pastor and Rev W. H. Hornblower to the people.
On the 18th of February, 1852, a committee of Elizabethtown Presbytery met in Flanders and organized the Presbyterian Church of that place.

EARLY GERMANS OF NEW JERSEY
The Rev. J. N. Husted became the first pastor, 1853, was ordained on the 30th of June in the same year, and dismissed April 18th, 1855. After his removal
REV. JONAS DENTON
supplied the pulpit until Jan., 1856, when the two churches, Mt Olive and Flanders, became united under one pastor. This relation continued for ten years and eight months, from January 1, 1856, until October 6, 1867 In reviewing the early part of our own labors in this united field, many things claim special attention, and not the least among them was the great revival of religion in the winter of 1858. It was indeed a pentecostal season. An account of it was published in the Philadel- phia Presbyterian at the time, as follows :
REVIVAL AT BUDD'S LAKE AND FLANDERS.
About the close of December last, a seriousness concerning religion seemed to pervade the minds of many in these congregations, some of whom were not mem- bers of the church. This feeling was deepened, perhaps, by the providence of God, which had recently and suddenly removed from our midst several person by death.
A series of religious services were commenced on the 1st of January. Tbe Pas oral Letter prepared by the Convention which assembled at Pittsburg, and published in the Presbyterian, was read from the pulpit: a day of fasting and prayer was observed, and it was evident very soon that these means were blessed. The contents of the letter seemed to excite the minds of many christians to a sense of their duty. Religion became almost the only subj ct of concern. The churches were generally full, and the people appeared to atteud to the preaching of the word as they had not attended before. Part of the time alternate services were held in the two churches, in which we were assisted by the Rev. Messrs. Barrett, of Newton, Prof. Crossett, of Ferromonte Institute, and Stoutenburg, of Chester, who e labors were greatly blessed.
After the regular services in the evening, meetings for the anxious were held in the churches, at which about seventy persons attended, in almost every stage of life. In one or two instances a whole family remained. There were also nine husbands with their wives. I have never before witnessed such scenes as it has been my pleasure to behold here in the sanctuary of God.
As a result of this work of grace, sixty-two have united with the church-thirty- nine with Mount Olive, at Budd's Lake, and twenty-one with Flanders, and two with a sister church. Among those who united with us were six husbands with their wives: thirteen others were heads of families, making twenty-six heads of families. The remainder were mostly young.
The most of the number came from the Sabb th-school and Bible-class. In one of our schools four entire classes of scholars and three teachers, we trust, have been hopefully converted.
I continued the pastor of this church from October 4, 1854, until Tuesday, the 22d day of June, 1869.
Mr. James was followed by REV. ROBERT S. FEAGLES, who supplied the church for one year. The REV. WM. BELDEN supplied for a time, and the REV. J. S. EVANS was stated supply for one year.
REV. CHALMERS D. CHAPMAN
then became the pastor of the church, and was ordaired and installed on the 3d of October, 1872. He remained until April, 1875. He was succeeded by the
617
MOUNT OLIVE CHURCHES.
REV. OLIYER H. PERRY DEYOE,
who was stated supply for the period of six years from May, 1872-1881.
REV. JOHN H. SCOFIELD,
the present pastor, followed him in 1884.
The elders at present are as follows: Richard P. Stephens, Robert D. Caskey, Ira B: Stevens, A. Lynden Salmon.
During 1870 and 1871 the church was thoroughly repaired. The basement on right side was made serviceable for Sabbath school, and other improvements made at a cost of $1,500.
In 1870 a union chapel was built at Budd's Lake at a cost of $3,500, with a debt upon it of $1,000. It was at first a union building, and is such still, though the ownership of it has come into the hands of the Presbyterians.
THE MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH.
This church was constituted in 1753, with about twelve members. One of these was Samuel Heaton, who came from Wrentham, Mass., to engage in the iron busi- ness. The first house of worship was a union log church. The second, also union, was built in 1810. In 1854 a new house was built by the Baptists alone. It was dedicated February 27, 1856. It was repaired and improved in 1870 at a cost of $1,300. In 1874 a new parsonage was built. Until 1786 this church was a branch of the Morristown Baptist Church. It was organized as a separate congregation 18th November, 1786. The ministers present upon that occasion were REVS. REUNE RUNYON, ABNER SUTTON and DAVID JAYNE.
There are no records of the members or the ministers until June, 1832. The ministers of Morristown probably preached here. In May, 1700, REV. MR. VAUGHN was requested to continue preaching during the ensuing year, one Sabbath in four. In 1794 ELDER ISAAC PRICE was asked to preach every other Sebbath, and he con- tinued to do so in 1797. From this time, until 1832, there was occasional preaching. Samuel Cosad expounded the word, although not ordained, and Elders Jaynes, Sydam, Ball and others preached occasionally and administered the ordinances. In June, 1832, ELDER MICHAEL QUINN was appointed missionary for this field by the New Jersey Baptist State Convention, and on June 30th it was recorded that the church had been reorganized and a covenant adopted by thirteen persons. ELDER QUINN was occupied in this field two years, and baptised twenty-two per- sons, one of whom, Joseph Perry, became the esteemed pastor of the Mariners' Church at Philadelphia, Pa.
In November, 1833, Elder John Teasdale, of Lafayette, N. J., and Elder Timothy Jackson, of Wantage, preached and held protracted meetings for several weeks, and a new impulse was given to the church.
In February, 1834, REV. JOHN TEASDALE took charge, preaching once in four weeks, and baptised thirty-two persons. Elias Frost, a licentiate, labored with him. January 1, 1835, REV. C. C. PARK labored here half his time for two years. JOHN M. CARPENTER, a licentiate from Mount Salem Church, took charge and was ordained September 2, 1837. He continued two years and baptised eight persons.
618
EARLY GERMANS OF NEW JERSEY
REV. T. C. TEASDALE, of Newton, preached once a month during 1839, and baptised ten people. REV. THOMAS RITCHEY took charge April 1, 1840, remained two years, and baptised four converts. During his pastorate SAMUEL COSAD died, and left by will two farms to the church, one of eighty acres with good buildings for a par- sonage, and another, the income of which should be divide.l, so that one-third went to the American Bible Society and the remainder to the support of the church. In case the church should die then a missionary was to be maintained in this field until another Baptist church was organized.
In 1842 JOHN TEASDALE again became pastor, which he continued to be for nine years, baptising eighty-six persons, of whom the REV. ASAHEL BRONSON, who became his successor, was one. The latter remained a year and a half.
In July, 1853, REV. T. F. CLANCY was chosen pastor and remained nine years. He baptised fifty-three persons.
Previous to 1854 the Baptist and Presbyterian congregations had used the same church building. This arrangement had been unsatisfactory to both parties, and finally in 1854, after twelve years of discussion, not altogether of a friendly char- acter, it was agreed that the old house be sold and removed and the proceeds divided. The society erected a new stone building, which was dedicated February 27, 1856. Mr. Clancy resigned in March, 1863, and removed to Elk Lake, Pa.
REV. H. B. SHERMER in May 1, 1863, began to supply the church, and in the fall of the same year accepted the pastorate, in which he continued for six years, or until his death on March 22, 1869. He baptised twelve, and Rev. H. C. Putnam, who supplied the church a short time, gathered in fifteen more. During the last pastorate the parsonage farm was rented and another parsonage with a lot of two acres was purchased and used for ten years.
REV. GEORGE F. HENDRICESON became the pastor in October, 1869, remained three years and six months and baptised 29 persons. He, like Mr. Clancy, lost his wife while pastor of this church. He resigned April 1st, 1873, and removed to Fairview, N. J.
REV. J. G. ENTREKEN was called October 1, 1873, remained one year, and added seventeen members to the church.
During 1874 a new parsonage was built. In the same year the church dismissed twenty-eight members to form a new church at Drakesville.
REV. SAMUEL SPOUL was called January 1, 1875, and remained until his death, on July 25th, 1880, at sixty-eight years of age. He was a man of ability and was much beloved. He added eleven to the church.
REV. M. M. FOGG was called April 1, 1881.
The REV. THOMAS C. YOUNGS followed Mr. Fogg and REV. SAMUEL Cox camne next. The pastor now serving the church is the REV. J. F. WATSON.
The church officers were: John B. Stephens, George L. Salmon, D. H. Wolfe, deacons; John B. Stephens, William Wolfe and Calvin B. Conklin, trustees. The membership was 110.
In 1894 the following are church officers: C. S. King, William R. McPeake, R. H. Stephens, A. S. Hulse.

CHURCHES OF FLANDERS.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL.
THE TRACT OF LAND upon which the village of Flanders is built was returned on October 27, 1714, to John Budd, who on June 22, 1739, conveyed the whole tract of 1,000 acres to William Allen, of Philadelphia, who on December 1, 1770, conveyed 562 acres of the original tract to Jahish Heaton, and by whose son, Joseph Heaton, Jr., and wife, was conveyed by deed bearing date October 3, 1789, to William McCullock and William Crevelling, of Mansfield ; Levi Howell and John Axford, of Oxford ; Daniel Hunt, of Hardwick ; Joseph Swayze, of Knowlton township, Sussex county ; Jabish Heaton, of Roxbury township, Morris county ; Nicholas Egbert, of Reading, Hunterdon county ; and William Wallen, of Somerset county, all of the State of New Jersey, chosen and appointed to be trustees to act in behalf of the Society called " Methodist." Beginning at a stake and stones for a corner near said Jabish Heaton's mill race, and runs thence (1) worth 52, west 2.25 along the road leading from said Heaton's saw mill to William Bell's grist mill. 12) south 38, west 2.25. (3) south 52, east 2.25 to a corner near said mill race. (+) north :18, east 2.25 to place of beginning, containing .5 and .625 of an acre. The above de scribed land being the same lot of land as is now used as a burying ground by the Methodist congregation, and upon which their church edifice now stands. It will be noticed that at that early date there were two grist mills and one saw mill in the village, and that Heaton and Bell were early settlers, as were also the families of Ayers, Nicholas, William Monroe, Israel Rickey, John Reere, John Reading, Col. Stark and Lewis Cary, fromn 1770, the date of purchase by Heaton to 1790 the last of his sales.
Flanders is one of the very oldest fortresses of Methodism in the eastern part of the State. It was about the year 1783 that the Methodist itinerants began to sound the trump of the gospel here. The first Methodist that is known to have dwelt here was a lady. Her name was Mary Bell. She was born in the city of New York, October 25, 1753, and was awakened under the ministry of Joseph Pillmore, sought and obtained pardoning and renewing grace, and united with the Methodist society. In the commencement of the war of the Revolution she suffered many hardships, and was finally pillaged of her property by the soldiers, and to secure the safety of
620
EARLY GERMANS OF NEW JERSEY
her person she was obliged to flee from the city, when she sought a refuge amid the tranquil, yet inspiring scenes of the quiet valley of Flanders.
One of the important characters in the early Methodism of Flanders was David Moore, the leader of its first class. He was born at Morristown, N. J., November 25, 1749. At an early age he was bereft of his father, but being placed in a pious family, he was early taught the fear of the Lord. When about nineteen years of age he experienced religion and joined the Presbyterian Church. He lived in the fellowship of that church, an acceptable member, about fifteen years. He resided in Flanders when the Methodist preachers first visited the place. He opened his doors for preachers and they continued to preach there once in two weeks for several years. A society was formed, with which he united, and he was appointed the leader. It is not known with certainty in what year the meeting house was built, but it was some years before the close of the last century, and was certainly not later than 1793, aud, possibly as early as 1785. It was in all probability the first Methodist church erected in East Jersey. For many years it remained in an unfinished conditiou, without walls or doors, no backs to the seats, uor carpets on its floors, nor stoves by which the wild and cold winter winds could be tamed, and the atmosphere made less uncomfortable to the Lord's people.
But Methodism is nothing if not progressive. The history, therefore, of this church, as of all the Methodist churches in the early years of their history, was of continual growth in numbers and efficiency. Difficulties were overcome, criticism conciliated, enmity removed. until now all these once struggling organizations are strong and vigorous.
Among the records of 1845 of the church, we find the names of many persons who were known for their devotion to God, and their untiring zeal for His cause, and the influence of whose lives was felt. We find that Aaron D. Stark and . am- uel Woodruff were not only the class leaders of the Society of Methodists at this time, but were also men who had a deep interest in all the affairs of the church. Those who coustituted the membership at that time : Aaron D. Stark, class leader; Samuel Woodruff, assistant leader ; Naucy Stark, Mary Woodruff, Jacob B. Miller. Samuel Douglas, Joseph K. Chipps, Elizabeth Chipps, Robert S. Woodruff, Abigail McDougal, Phobe Douglas, William Monroe, Elizabeth Monroe, Richard Howell, Elizabeth Howell, Julia A. Woodruff, Mary Osborn, Ann Carey, ('harity Hart, Anu Drake, Elizabeth Briggs, Jane Kinny, Nancy Force, William Trimmer, Samuel Huff. William Clouse, Melinda Clouse, Sarah Corwin, Mary Landing, David H. Osborn, Elizabeth Riger, Julia Ann Trimmer. Aaron Clark, Nathan Burnett, Clarissa Burnett, Heury Johnson. Sarah Johnson, Phoebe A. Arch, Adaline Arnet.
In 1854-55, REV. JOHN S. COIT was stationed at Flanders. During his pastorate be worked hard to direct and influence the people to build a new church, which was greatly needed, and he finally secured a subscription of §200, with a subse- quent $600 which he raised, making a total of $800 toward building a new church. REV. J B. HEWARD succeeded Rev. Mr. Coit in 1855. He soon discovered that the important deed of the hour was a new church and began pleading and working for the noble object as did his worthy predecessor, when through his skillful manage- ment and untiring labors, and the indefatigable efforts of Rev. Manning Force and his noble and devoted wife, the old church was substituted by a new and beautiful house of worship with a spire and bell, which is an oroament to the village and a credit to Flanders Methodists, at a cost of over three thousand dollars.

Heward soon began a special revival service, which resulted in a most blessed work of grace. The meetings were continued for eleven weeks resulting in the conver- sion of seventy persons. During the present pastorate over one hundred persons have united with the church, the pastor's salary advanced over $200, the church beautifully carpeted, the parsonage refurnished and other improvements made. A Mission League Society and an Epworth League have been organized. Budd's Lake now constitutes a part of the charge, at which place there is a flourishing union Sunday school and a weekly prayer meeting, which has proved a blessing among the people. At Drakestown, where the pastor preaches every Sunday afternoon, we have a commodious church, a growing Sunday school, an interesting and large congregation. During the present year they have put new cushions into their church, which has added very much to the comfort of the people.
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
In 1889 the church decided to celebrate the Centennial anniversary of its history. A week was devoted to the services of the celebration.
Thursday evening, October 3d, 1889, the first anniversary exercises began at 7:30, Rev. John F. Scofield, pastor Mt. Olive Presbyterian Church, announced the hymn, "Here in Thy name we are gathered," etc., Rev. D. E. Frambes lead in prayer, after which the pastor made a few remarks. The preacher of the evening was Rev. S. K. Doolittle, a former pastor, who took for his text. 22 Psalm, fourth verse, "Our fathers trusted in Thee, they trusted and Thou did'st deliver them," from which he delivered a well prepared and instructive sermon, to the great pleasure and edification of those present. Rev. J. B. Heward read the hymn. The Rev. Geo. H. Stephens, pastor of the Flanders Presbyterian Church, then offered an appropriate prayer.
October 4th, special prayer meeting preceded the regular service conducted by the pastor, after which Rev. S. K. Doolittle announced the hymn, Rev. Mr. Cox, of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church lead in prayer, after which a former pastor, Rev. J. B. Heward, of the New Jersey Conference was introduced, and said his relation to the people of Flanders was very pleasant, and among other things said that while the Methodist Church was in course of erection, the members of the Pr-shy- terian Church very kindly invited him to preach in their pulpit until his church was finished. The speaker then announced for his text Matt. XVI, 18-19, " And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it," etc., from which he preached a most excellent sermon.
The centennial Sabbath, October 6th, 1889, was a great day in the history of Methodism in Flanders. The committee on decorating the church had been ac- tively engaged in collecting flowers, evergreens, fruits, etc., and arrenging the same in an artistic manner. Rev. C. S. Coit, ex-Presiding Elder of this District, very kindly consented to conduct the Love-feast by asking Rev. J. B. Heward to offer prayer. The meeting was attended with great spiritual power. The people's hearts seemed to have caught the old-time fire. The regular morning service began by the pastor announcing the Centennial hymn written by Rev. John F. Dodd. Secretary of the Newark Conference. Rev. C. S. Coit offered the opening prayer, Rev. Dr. Crane, of Stanhope, N. J .. read the Scripture. The preacher was Rev. C. R. Crooks, D. D. L.L. D., of Drew Theological Seminary, who preached a very scholary discourse from the 5th Psalm 7th verse. At 3 P. M. the service was opened by singing, after which Rev. J. B. Heward lead in prayer. and Rev. C. S. Coit read
622
EARLY GERMANS OF NEW JERSEY
the Scripture lesson. Rev. Dr. C. Larew was then introduced, and took for his text 2d Peter, 2-5 verses, from which he preached a sermon of great power and beauty. At 6:30 P. M. a Song and Praise service was conducted by students from the Hackettstown Seminary. The inclemency of the weather kept a number from attending the regular evening service, although there was a fair audience Rev. C. S. Coit preached a practical sermon from "Christ feeding the multitude."
Monday evening, October 7th. A large congregation again assembled to hear addresses from former prstors, Rev. Geo. T. Jackson and Rev. W. C. Nelson were the speakers of the evening. Their addresses were listened to with marked atten- tion, and were made profitable to their bearers.
Tuesday, October 8th, 1889, was another great day in the history of Flanders Methodism, and for the cause of Temperance. The weather was propitious and the audience large. Addresses were delivered by Rev. F. Bloom, of Dover, N. J., Rev. Mr. Cox, of Mt. Olive, N. J., and Rev. S. D. Decker, of High Bridge, N. J. In the afternoon at 2:30 after the devotional exercises, Mrs. Hammer, of Newark, N. J., was introduced and made a thrilling address on the cause of intemperance. Rev. Wm. E. Blakeslee, of Dover, N. J., was the next speaker. He was followed by Rev. B. C. Magie, D. D., Supt. of Morris County public schools, who in his happy and instructive manner spoke to the great delight of all present.
Tuesday evening, October 8th. At ? P. M. a reunion service of former pastors was held. Rev. S. P. Hammond, Presiding Elder of the Paterson District, pre- sided. The following named ministerial brethren delivered short addresses of a deeply interesting character, Revs. J. B. Heward, Wm. C Nelson, D. E. Frambes, Geo. T. Jackson, William C. McCain.
REV. MANNING FORCE
had a residence in Flanders and was one of the widest known and most influential of all the Methodist preachers, who served this church. For more than fifty years he lived and labored in this part of New Jersey, helping to build churches, strengthening weak organizations and sowing the seed of the Word with untiring zeal and the skill of a workman that needeth not to be ashamed. He was born 1789 and began his ministry in 1811. From that time till 1815 he labored on the Dover circuit and in the city of Philadelphia. His appointments after that were in the region of Trenton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Jersey City and other places of equal importance. He died in February, 1862.
