SYNOD OF NORTH HOLLAND, JULY-AUG. 1799. ARTICLE 41 .- NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY.


The rest of the Classes had hoped to obtain at this time some report from those of Amsterdam concerning the churches in New York and New Jersey ; but, as the report had not yet been found, they find themselves, as well as the Classis of Amsterdam, dis- appointed in their hopes.


GENERAL SYNOD OF THE REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH IN AMERICA, JUNE 3-13, 1800.


Extracts.


CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE CHURCH OF HOLLAND.


The committee appointed by the Particular Synod on this sub- ject informed the Synod that no answers have been received to the letters written for several years to the Synod of North Holland, probably owing to the interrupted state of affairs in that country.


Resolved, therefore, That the Particular Synod continue the friendly correspondence with the said Church.


PROFESSORATE.


The committee appointed on the subject of the Professorate made the following report, which was adopted :


Your committee find that the General Synod, from the year 1771, have invariably had in view the establishment of a respect- able and useful Professorate, and that until the year 1797, measures have been adopted, time after time, to accomplish this


S t

desirable object, but all to no purpose; that in the year 1797, therefore, the General Synod passed a resolution that it was im- practicable to do anything more under the existing circumstances, and also appointed two other professors in connection with Pro- fessor Livingston, authorizing them to receive from each student annually, the sum of ten pounds, as a compensation for their labors ; still, however, keeping in view the aforesaid establishment.


Your committee, therefore, are of opinion, that the Professorate should be continued in the present state, until a fund be raised, the interest of which shall be sufficient to support, and render inde- pendent, one or more professors, who shall then devote all their time to the duties of their office. To procure such a fund, we submit to your consideration the following plan:


1. That the sum of at least two shillings be solicited from each of the members of every congregation, annually, for the space of six years.


2. That a collector be appointed by the Consistory of each con- gregation, to collect the above, who shall receive five per cent. for his trouble, and shall deliver the collections to the Questors of the respective Classis.


3. That the Questors of the respective Classes deposit their re- ceipts in the hands of the Questor of General Synod.


Resolved, further, That every minister open a subscription in his own congregation, and the vacancies which he may visit; the sums subscribed to be received in quarterly payments, or the whole at once, by the ministers, and transmitted by them to the Questor of this Synod.


CHURCH ORDER.


The committee appointed on the subject of Church Order re- ported, that it be recommended to General Synod to appoint a com- mittee for the purpose of forming arrangements to constitute a number of new Classes, and a new Particular Synod. The Synod accepted this report, and appointed Dr. John H. Livingston, Dr.

PASTORAL LETTER.


To the Dutch Reformed Churches in America:


The General Synod wish grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, through the Eternal Spirit.


Dearly Beloved .- We would greatly rejoice if we had it in our power to congratulate you on the general prosperity of Zion, and on the success of the Gospel Ministry in every part of our Church. But while we have reason of gratitude for the manifestation of the divine presence, and the display of divine grace in some parts of our vineyard, we must call upon you deeply to lament, with us, the visible declension of vital piety through our land in general, and, we are sorry to add, throughout our churches. We cannot but regret, while we are obliged to remind you of the small number of conversions which have of late years taken place, of the few accessions of professors even to the visible church; of the loose lives of many who bear the Christian name; of the heinous pro- fanation of the Lord's day; of the shameful neglect of the word

and ordinances; of the almost total inattention to family religion, which is intimately connected with the prevalent disregard of the religious education of youth and domestics ; of the baneful progress of infidelity and its inevitable consequences, licentious principles and practices. Who, at this representation of facts, does not feel emotions of sorrow and alarm? Who, attentive to the common course of Divine Providence, does not apprehend still more awful judgments, both upon our country and upon our churches, than we have yet experienced ? Has not the Lord had a controversy with us ? Has he not manifested his displeasure, by those awful tokens of his wrath, pestilence and fire? Has he not threatened us with war ? Has he not frowned upon our churches, withdrawn in a great measure the influences of his Spirit, caused his people to mourn, and his prophets to prophesy in sackcloth ?


Alarmed at these dispensations; deeply concerned for your spiritual and immortal interests ; anxious to promote the glory of God, and to advance the cause of our common Redeemer, we . earnestly call upon you, brethren, in the fear of the Lord, to hearken to his voice, and in sincerity, of heart to return unto him. We exhort you to love and cherish the truth as it is in Jesus. Be diligent in searching the Holy Scriptures ; for they, through grace, are able to make you wise unto salvation. Attend faithfully on all the ordinances of the Lord's house, especially on the preaching of the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. Be careful to maintain purity in doctrine, and a de- portment becoming real Christians; for the profession of the purest doctrine, unaccompanied with a correspondent conversation, loses its influence upon others, and gives occasion to the enemy to blaspheme. Therefore be careful to exercise justice, honesty, temperance, industry. Cherish in your hearts, and display in your lives, candor, mutual forbearance, liberality, charity. Cultivate love, not only with those of your own denomination, but with all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity and truth. And as family religion is of the highest importance, and without it, re- ligion cannot flourish in the churches, above all, faithfully instruct and catechise your children and domestics ; punctually maintain


4386


ECCLESIASTICAL RECORDS


1800


family worship. Not only permit, but enforce it as a duty upon your servants, to attend upon the regular preaching of the Gospel. In a word, abound in the work of the Lord; for thus you will let. your light shine before men, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.


Here, brethren, we would call your attention to a particular and very important subject. The pure doctrines which we have ex- horted you to cherish, and the holy duties which we have en- couraged you to practice, can never be maintained without a well- regulated ministry. While, therefore, you are faithful in sup- porting the ministers of the Gospel who are settled among you, it is an object invariable in our views, and dear to our hearts, to send you such only as are duly qualified for their important work.


For the best accomplishment of this desirable end, the Dutch churches, both in Holland and America, have always deemed the establishment of a Professorate for the instruction of youth in theology to be indespensable. Exertions have been frequently made to raise a fund for the permanent support of the Professor- ship, but hitherto without success. This failure we do not attribute to your unwillingness to contribute, but to the want of sufficient information on the subject. We would greatly lament if so excellent an institution should fail of receiving the necessary encouragement and support. It is the surest means, not only to accomplish ministers for the discharge of the duties of their office, but for preserving the truths of religion pure and undefiled. It is designed for the purpose of training up those who are to instruct your children in the doctrines which you profess to love, when you shall sleep with your fathers. To lay the foundation of such an establishment, we apply to you for the means, and request assist- ance according to the ability which God has given you. We shall solicit but little from each, trusting that all will be ready to contribute.


The plan which has been adopted for raising, in the course of a few years, a fund adequate to the purpose contemplated, will be laid before you. We earnestly entreat you brethren, to take this. subject under your serious consideration; and as you have the

4387


1800


interests of religion at heart ; as you desire to preserve and defend the truths which you have received ; as you would wish to be taught only by those who themselves are well instructed; as you regard the glory of God and the prosperity of the Redeemer's kingdom; afford your liberal assistance and generous patronage to an insti- tution so highly laudable, and which promises, under the divine blessing, the most extensive usefulness.


We are, brethren, with sincere esteem and ardent prayers for your welfare, your friends and servants in the Lord.


By order of the General Synod of the Reformed Dutch Church.

CLASSIS OF AMSTERDAM.


1800, July 21st. Synodalia. Art. 40 ad 40. A letter has again been received from New York and New Jersey, to which we refer ourselves, and transfer the same to the Synod of North Holland, to which it belongs. This one together with the reasons why the former was not referred to, will have to be answered nomine Synodi. xvi. 435.


SYNOD OF NORTH HOLLAND, JULY-AUG. 1800.


ARTICLE 40 .- NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY.


The Classis of Amsterdam brought in a letter, written from New York, signed by Peter Van Vlierden and Gerardus A. Kuypers,


Boonton


Horse Neck


Nicholas Lansing


4392


ECCLESIASTICAL RECORDS


1800


as Deputies of the Synod of New York, under date of May 25, 1799, and addressed to the North Holland Synod. It contained in the main :-


A complaint that the Synod of New York had written to this - Synod a letter containing four questions and an expression of its burning desire to hold correspondence between their Assembly and this one, but that no answer had been received. The said Synod does still urge its proposal, and, in case of a refusal which it does not expect-it requests to be at least honored with a reply.


Upon this it was resolved to let the Deputies answer the letter and give the reasons why it was not answered sooner ; and to agree to the correspondence by transmitting to that Synod an extract from our Acts of this year-the preparation and delivery of which to be also left to the Deputies.


GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH, NEW YORK.


Meeting of the Consistory on the 22nd December, 1800.


Mr. Whitman appointed Chairman.


Mr. John Semler having returned from Schodack, reported that he had laid the paper intrusted to his charge before the Rev. Christian Bork, for his consideration ; Mr. Semler further informed the Consistory that it was a happy circumstance that our congregation had taken its former seat in the Classis ; as Mr. Bork had informed him, that had not this change taken place, he could not have come down to preach for us, as he did, but that he had the fullest assurance of its being greatly to the advantage of our congregation; Mr. Bork further informed Mr. Semler, that he wished the Consistory to inform the congregation that he had been brought up to Lutheran principles, but had found reasons for his changing, previous to his advance- ment in the Ministry. Mr. Semler mentioned likewise, that it would be proper on Mr. Bork's accepting our call, that the trustees should furnish him with one quarter's salary in advance, and to this the trustees firmly agreed.

This is the last allusion in the Minutes of the Classis of Amster- dam to New York and New Jersey. The lemma relating to them is now dropped. This was partly owing to the fact that Corre- spondence had not been kept up very regularly, and partly owing to the political troubles of the times.


A few letters were again exchanged about Church Records, 1841-6, 1887, 1897-8. E. T. C.
