Though for many years the church and seminary were almost identical, yet the church has a history peculiar to itself. After the death of Mr. Hartwiek, which occurred July 17, 1796, Rev. John Fred. Ernst was appointed by the executors " to preach for the inhabitants and to assist in the education of their youth, with the intent to aseer- tain whether the land in the patent would prove an eligible spot for the seminary." He labored here till about the year 1800.
For fifteen years from this time affairs were very un- settled. The question of the location of the new seminary was continually agitated. Sometimes it was almost settled that it should be at Sehoharie, then at Cooperstown, New York, and Albany, where the foundation was actually be- gun. Meanwhile the preaching of the gospel was largely neglected. The question of location at length being finally settled, the foundation of the seminary was laid on the present site in the year 1812, and the building was com- pleted in the following year. On the 15th of December, 1815, Rev. Dr. Ernest Lewis Hazelius opened the school. From this time dates the regular and continual preaching of the word to the students and to those inhabitants who were willing to avail themselves of the privilege. Dr. Ila-
zelius labored here until 1830, when Rev. Dr. George B. Miller was elected as his successor in the institution. D :. Miller continued the work till 1839, when he removed to Dansville. Although we have not been able to discover any account of the first organization of a church, yet we find as early as Sept. 28, 1817, an entry of this kind :
RESOLVES OF THE VESTRY.
Resolved, That henceforth every Lord's day a collection shall be made, as in other churches, for the wants of the room we meet in, which resolve was published by me October 5th.
ERNEST L. HAZELIUS, Pastor pro temp.
Another entry, bearing date of December 15, in the same year, says, " It being deemed improper that the elec- tion of church offieers should be held on the day of saera- ment, it was resolved by the vestry to hold our election for church officers on January 1st, and so on for time to come."
From these extracts we conclude that the organization was effected about the same time that the seminary began its operations. Drs. Hazelius and Miller were both mem- bers of the " Evangelical Lutheran Synod of New York" (afterwards called the New York Ministerium), and the congregation sustained the same synodical relations. On the resignation of Dr. Miller as principal of the seminary, in the year 1839, the institution suspended operations for one year, during which time the buildings were enlarged and improved. Measures were taken, however, to seenre the preaching of the word, and an item in the church re- cord, in the handwriting of Rev. J. D. Lawyer, informs us that he "received a call from the Evangelical Lutheran church of Hartwick," and that he accepted the same, and entered upon his duties there on the 1st day of May, 1839.
Another record says, " Pursuant to previous notice, the male members belonging to the Lutheran church convened in the chapel of the academy in Hartwick for the pur- pose of organizing the church by choosing officers, and of incorporating the church under the statute. The meet- ing was held on the 10th of August, 1839. Br. John D. Lawyer, the pastor, presided. Bros. Clark Davison and John Rich were elected elders; and Bros. William Davison, Philip Miekel, and - Swackhammer, deacons." Messrs. Dewey, Eldred, Derbyshire, Rolinson, and Gowey were elceted trustees, and steps were taken toward having the church incorporated. The aet of incorporation bears date of Aug. 10, 1839, and was verified before the late Judge Samuel Nelsou, of Cooperstown. On July 25 following, the discipline of the Franckean synod was adopted. During the summer they erceted a house of wor- ship, and Rev. N. Van Alstine, president of the Franckean synod, dedicated it to the service of God. The contraet for building the church was let at $1400, and that amount was raised by subscription to discharge the debt. By some mismanagement, however, when they came to settle ac- eounts they found the cost to be $1800, which, of course. left 8100 unprovided for. For this amount a mortgage was given ; and this, as is so often the ease with church mortgages, became a source of great annoyance to them. When it became due, there being no funds to meet it, the church was locked, and it was only after considerable trouble and contention that it was again opened for wer-

ship. In order to liquidate this debt, a sinking fund society was organized, and it held monthly meetings until it had raid not only enough to discharge the debt on the church building, but also contributed a similar amount for the other expenses of the congregation. The society afterwards reorganized into a " Foreign Missionary Society," and for many years contributed yearly a handsome sum for that department of Christian benevolence; indeed, it continued its operations until the death of its guiding spirit, the sainted Lottie Miller.
Rev. J. D. Lawyer continued his labers about four years -from 1839 to 1843. In 1840, Rev. W. D. Strobel, D.D., was elected principal of the seminary. Believing that his call to the institution also required that he should preach to the students, he felt called upon to perform his obligations to the letter. Mr. Lawyer, having a call from the congregation, held stated services in the church, and Dr. Strobel preached to the students in the chapel of the seminary. For a time, therefore, there was rival preach- ing, and it can easily be imagined that this state of affairs was not calculated to foster a kindly feeling. In 1844, Rev. Henry I. Schmidt, D.D., was elected principal of the seminary, and Rev. G. B. Miller, D.D., professor of the- . ology. Rev. Mr. Lawyer having left the previous year, the congregation was virtually without a pastor for the next five years, though preaching was maintained by the professors. In 1849, Dr. Schmidt resigned ; and following this event we find an item on the church-book to the effect that on Dec. 15, 1849, the congregation " unanimously in- vited the Rev. Dr. Miller to become their pastor." He ac- cepted the relation, and continued the same till his death, which occurred April 5, 1869.
Although we can find no official record of the act by which the congregation resumed its synodical connection with the New York ministerium, we learn from the minutes of the synod that the congregation, after the resignation of Mr. Lawyer, again contributed as before to the various be- nevolent enterprises of that body, and from the time that Dr. Miller became the pastor it is regularly enrolled as a part of the synod. This connection continued until the formation of the present New York synod, when it followed its pastor, Dr. Miller, into that body.
Rev. Wm. N. Scholl, D.D., succeeded Dr. Miller as pastor, and continued the relation as long as he was principal of the seminary. In 1871, Rev. T. T. Titus, A.M., was elected principal, and also pastor of the church, but on account of physical weakness was unable to preach. Rev. James Pitcher meauwhile performed the pulpit duties, and continued to do so till October 1, 1873. Mr. Titus died Feb. 15, 1873. On Nov. 7, 1874, Rev. P. Bergstresser, A.M., the newly-elected professor of theology, was invited to assume the pastoral relations with the church.
It will be seen that during its history, except during the four years when it was served by Mr. Lawler, the congre- gation has been served by professors in the seminary. Its present active membership is only about twenty-five. Add- ing to this fifteen whose names still stand on the church- book, the number is forty-small, indeed, but when we take into account the fact that the duties of the pastors have been chietly confined to the seminary, their legitimate call-
ing, it is an indication that a much larger congregation could have been gathered by a pastor whose labors could have been given entirely to the interests of the society.
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
of Hartwick was founded on Jan. 9, 1814, by Elder Jonathan Newman and others.
Be it remembered that we, whose names are underwritten, on this 9th day of January, A.D. 1814, do unite ourselves in a church of Christ. by the name of the Christian church, and take Christ for our heal and the Bible or New Testament for our law, and extend our charity to all that are born of his spirit, and open our arms of love to re- ceive all true Christians to our communion and fellowship, praying God our Father to help us to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour, by a holy life and godly conversation for Christ's sake. Amen. Jonathan Newman, Jonathan Fisk, Eunice Fisk, Benjamin Rose. Judeth Rose, Nathan Fisk, Eleazer Bliss, Jr., Jesse Bliss, Claris ...

Wood ; Librarian, F. J. Steere. The church is at present in a prosperous condition, and is under the pastoral care of Rev. John Scott Cook.
BAPTIST CHURCHI.
This church is one of the oldest in the county. May 20, 1795, a few scattered individuals of the Baptist de- nomination in this region held a conference-meeting in a school-house, at which Rev. James Bacon was chosen moderator and John Bostwick clerk. This conference inet several times until Aug. 19, 1795, when the church was organized, and consisted of twelve members. The first pastor was Jolin Bostwick, who commenced his labors im- mediately after the organization of the church. He was soon after ordained, and served the church for a period of thirty years. The first deacon was Josiah Maples. In 1549 Ziba Newland was chosen deacon.
Elder Bostwick resigned the pastorate in 1830, and was succeeded by Elder Robertson, who remained about three years. In 1835, Rev. Nathan Bundy became pastor, ani remained as such about five years. The next pastor was J. N. Adams, who officiated until 1846. He was sucecedel by Rev. E. H. Bailey, who officiated four months, and me: a melancholy fate by drowning him-elf ia a well in a la of mental derangement. Rev. J. B. Pixley became pastor in 1847, and was followed by Rev. Jacob Grant in 1>50. who remained nearly two years, when Mr. Pinky te um I to the charge, and officiated until 1859. It was during his pastorate that the church edifice was erceted. The

The following persons have served the church as supplies, viz., Revs. T. Taylor, A. Hayward, and W. H. Humphrey.
Prior to the crection of the church edifice, services were held in the Presbyterian and subsequently in the Baptist church.
Immediately after the organization of the society a move- ment was started for the erection of a church building, and `on the fifth day of the following July the present structure was raised. It is 34 by 44 feet, and cost about $2200. It was dedicated Nov. 24, 1853, by the Rev. John Ross, of Charlestown Four Corners. Montgomery Co., N. Y., as- sisted by Revs. John Cook, Stephen Hitchcock, G. Walker, and S. B. Hayward.

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
of Hartwick, N. Y., was organized May 30, 1800, by the Rev. Jediah Bushnell, a missionary from Connecticut. The constituent members were sixty-eight in number, twenty-four of whom presented letters of dismission from other churches, and forty-four nited by profession of their faith.' For six years the church had no regular pastor.
In 1806, Sept. 26, the first pastor, Whiting Griswold, was installed, who continued his labors nearly five years. when, on account of ill health, he was obliged to request a disso- lution of the pastoral relation.
In 1811 a second pastor, Rev. Henry Chapman, Was chosen. He remained with the church from Nov. 1s. 1811, until his removal by death, Ang. 30, 1823. His labors were attended with marked success. About one hundred and sixty were added to the church on profession of their faith during his charge.
In 1824 the church selected their third pastor, the Rev. John H. Prentice, who labored from Dec. 30, 1824, to Dec. 25, 1829.
From this time until the settlement of the Rev. Benjamin Gilbert Riley, on Feb. 25, 1840, the church employed stated supplics.
Mr. Riley remained until 1844, when he was succeeded by Rev. Mr. Spencer, the last installed pastor, who served the church until 1848. During two or three years after the close of Mr. Spencer's pastorate the pulpit was supplied occasionally by Rev. Chauncey Lee.
The church building was erected in 1810, at a cost of $250; size, 40 by 48 feet.

RES. OF CLARK DAVISON, (HARTWICK SEMINARY P.O. ) OTSEGO COUNTY. N. Y.
165
HISTORY OF OTSEGO COUNTY, NEW YORK.
I.v. Dr. II. N. Pohlinan was its first graduate, since which time it has educated about one hundred Lutheran ministers. The institution is located in the beautiful valley of the Susquehanna, in Otsego Co., N. Y., four miles below the pleasant village of Cooperstown, which lies at the foot of Otsego lake, a picturesque body of water, about two miles wide and eight long, surrounded, except at the south, by lufty wooded hills. The outlet of Otsego lake forms the Susquehanna river, which at Hartwick, four miles from its source, is but a slender stream.
The seminary is named after its founder, Rev. John Christopher Hartwick, a German Lutheran minister, who died in 1796, and left a tract of land in Otsego County for founding a theological school. From the proceeds of the sale of these lands enough money was realized to erect the buildings and retain an endowment fund of $16,000. A few years ago the buildings were renovated and enlarged at a cost of $21,500, which was collected in the churches by Rev. Dr. W. N. Seholl.
James Pitcher
Rev. Dr. Ernst L. Hazelius was the first principal and professor of theology, and served from 1816 to 1830, when he was sueceeded by Rev. Dr. G. B. Miller, who labored from that time until 1867, except for an interval of a few years, when his place was occupied by Rev. Dr. D. Strobel. Since then Rev. T. T. Titus and Rev. P. Bergstresser have served in the theological department.
The institution has a classical as well as a theologieal de- partment, in which, besides those already named, Rev. Dr. H. 1. Schmidt. Rev. Dr. L. Sternberg, and Rev. Dr. W. N. Scholl have served as principals. Among the assistant pro- fessors appear the names of Gen. J. A. Quitman, Rev. Dr. J. Senderling, Rev. H. Hayunga, Rev. C. B. Thuemmel, Rev. Dr. L. Sternberg, Rev. G. H. Miller, John Crafts, Rev. A. Martin, Rev. Dr. H. N. Pohlman. Rev. J. Berger, Rev. Dr. G. B. Miller, Rev. Dr. II. I. Schmidt. Rev. G. Neff, Rev. W. E. Suyder, J. B. Steele, Rev. J. Pitcher,
Rev. W. P. Evans, Rev. C. H. Traver, and G. II. Pren- tiee. The present theological faculty consists of Rev. J. Pitcher and Rev. J. L. Kistler, with Rev. W. Hull as lec- turer on ecclesiastical law. The classical department has a faculty consisting of Rev. J. Pitcher, Rev. J. L. Kistler, G. H. Prentice, and C. O. Barnard. The classical depart- ment comprises a four years' course of study, including all the higher mathematics, Latin, Greek, and the natural sci- ences. The theological course of study comprises three years, and covers the whole range of theological learning, and is as complete as that taught in any of our institutions.
Hartwiek seminary has fulfilled an important mission to the Lutheran church in the State of New York in the past. and it will doubtless continue to do so in the future. It is located in the vicinity of four Lutheran synods, and is more than three hundred miles distant from any other Lutheran institution of theologieal learning. The trustces have had in contemplation the addition of a collegiate to the classical and theologieal departments. According to the last cata- logue issued, the institution numbered seventy-six pupils. The expenses for the year do not exceed two hundred do !- lars for elassieal students, and one hundred and seventy-five for theological students ; the latter have tuition free in both departments.
