worship of the true God and impeading the Spread of the Gospel of his Son, and having had frequent Opper- tunities of the Tryal of your gifts and unwearied Assi- duity in the promotion of the great Cause of the Re- deemer; do therefore Call you to the Pastoral charge of said Church and Congregation upon the following condi- tions:"

Unfortunately the conditions are not named; but we can judge of their nature from those affixed to the call extended to Rev. Allen Blair nine years later. This call, dated April 24th 1797, specifies that Mr. Blair is to preach one Sunday at Hempstead and one at Haver- straw,* that to be free from worldly cares he is to receive from the Hempstead church the sum of $125 per annum in half yearly payments, and that whenever said Mr. Blair shall think fit to keep house by himself he is to have the use of the parsonage of said church after the first of May 1798 and is to be furnished with one-half necessary fire wood. The pastorate of Mr. Blair was not of long dura. tion, and after his departure the church appears to have become considerably demoralized.t Records show that Communion was administered December 4th 1808 by Rev. Mr. Hillyer, in June 1809 by Rev. Mr. Thompson, on November 19th 1809 by Rev. Mr. King, on July 8th 1810 by Rev. Mr. Riggs, and on December 22d 1811 by Rev. Mr. Williams. Further than this the years between 1800 and 1817 are a blank. Tradition says that the church lapsed into semi-congregationalism.

On the 20th of February 1817, the Rev. Samuel Peltont was installed pastor of the congregation of New Hemp- stead. The congregation having determined thereafter to transact the business of this church agreeably to the directory of the Presbyterian Church in the United States

* This was the Presbyterian church at Garnerville, now the First Presbyterian Church of Haverstraw, Rev. Mr. MeMahon, pastor.

. + The church was incorporated May 1st 1792. But May 13th 1822, it was found necessary to reincorporate it.

$ Samuel Pelton was born March 25th 1756. at Montgomery, Orange county, N. Y. His parents were both members of the Goodwill Pres- byterian church, with which church he also, in early manhood, con- nected himself.

At the time of his uniting, the pastor, Rev. Andrew King, urged him to apply binseif immediately to the study of Theology; but doubting his qualifications Mr. Pelton chose rather to remove with his wife to a tract of land uear Monticello which he had purchased in 1802. Here he remalned for 12 or 14 years, living the life of a former, yet devoting himself most earnestly to Christian work. Indeed, says onc, " Ife seemed. for awhile to be the only energetie Christian man residing between the Shawangunk mountains and the Deluware river." He was largely in- strumental in forming fonr Presbyterian churches in Sullivan county, viz .: At White Lake, Montleello, Cocherton, and Liberty, and so ener- getic, constant, and even snecessful were his strivings to build up the wastes of Zion, that he has been, and now often is called the Father of Presbyterianism in Sullivan county." In is14 he was once more urged by his old pastor and others to prepare for the ministry-and upon yield- ing-with such zeal did he proseente his studies that in the autumn of 1815 he received license to preach. In February, 1817, Mr. Pelton took charge of the churches of Hempstead and Haverstraw-which churches he served 'for 23 yeurs. On necount of a severe stroke of paralysis he resigned his charges in 1840 to return to his farm in Sullivan county. * An old inan coming to lay his bones among us" was the comment of his neighbors. But their anticipalions proved false. He improved in health-preached occasionally in vacant pulpits-did a large amount of Christian work, and not till July 10th iset, did he yield up his soul to God who gave it. Of him it has been said, " He was n ready preacher and debater: and If he did not employ a polished rhetorie in addressing his auditors, yet the activity of his imagination and the sprightliness of his thoughts made him always an interesting and sometimes a powerful speaker."

of America, chose the following persons to be their ruling elders, viz., Benjamin Coe, Esq. and John Coe who had been once set apart to that office, and Mr. Levi Sher- wood, Jolin Smith, and John J. Gurnee, Esq., who were solemnly set apart to their office agreeably to the 12th chapter of the form of Government. "There were at this time 59 communicating members in the congregation who were in regular standing." The call of Mr. Pelton was dated December 26th 1816 and was signed by John Cole, Levi Sherwood, Adrian Deronde, Joseph E. Jones, and John D. Coe, " Committee in behalf of the congrega- tion." It was for one-half his time and his salary was to be $250 in half yearly payments, the use of the parson- age, and forty loads of wood. Mr. Pelton remained in charge of the congregation till 1840. In 1821 his labors were blessed with a great revival, when 110 united with the church at one time. In 1824 he engaged in a public dispute with a Methodist clergyman at Haverstraw upon Calvinism versus Arminianism and soon after published a small volume, containing the debate and some other matters, which was much praised and adinired by his friends. He was beloved by his congregation, a power in the community, and he only resigned in 1840 because of a stroke of paralysis received the winter before, " which so impaired his bodily and mental powers as to render him incapable of performing ministerial work." He was succeeded, November 11th 1840, by Rev. John N. Boyd, who served the congregation till 1852. Mr. Boyd was followed, November Ist 1852, by Rev. Abijah Green and he was followed, December 18th 1853, by Rev. Samuel Kellogg. The present incumbent, Rev. Thomas Mack,* was installed pastor July 26th 1866.

May 31st 1879 the present church building was struck by lightning. At this time part of a cast iron bracket, fastened to a pillar in the back of the church was thrown by the lightning which came down the pillar-in a straight line across the entire length of the church and buried several inches in the wall over the pulpit. The present elders of the church are Servetus Gurnee and John Helms. The trustees are John Hauptman, John Green, and Andrew Jersey; the clerk and treasurer is Erastus Johnson.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, RAMAPO WORKS.

The house of worship which this congregation occupies was built in the year 1810 by Jeremiah H. Pierson, pro- prietor of the Ramapo Works, for the accommodation of his employees, there being at that time no church nearer than the " Island Church " (built 1791) Mahwah, four miles distant.

This building, which claims the honor of being the oldest church building in the town, still preserves much of its original quaintness; the box pews entered through high doors swung upon wrought iron hinges broad and long,

and the pentagonal box pulpit, just large large enough for

1777, was ordained to the ministry in 1805, settled at one minister, to which he ascends by a narrow stairway and Morristown, New Jersey, in 1809, and at Paterson, New in which he is expected to shield himself from intrusion Jersey, in 1814, where he remained until he assumed charge of the Ramapo church in 1834. by shutting the door behind him. It is to be deplored that the " Church Book " from which a full and accurate The character of the man may be gathered from the following, taken from the Passaic County, New Jersey, History. history of the early days of this church could be written is not to be found. . We esteem ourselves fortunate how- ever in having access to the methodical books of the Ramapo Works from which we glean the following.

From the beginning, services were held in this church on alternate Sundays, the pulpit being supplied by min- isters from churches more or less remote. One of the first of these to come, and the one whose visits were most frequent till he assumed pastoral charge of the congre- gation in 1834, was Dr. Samuel Fisher, pastor after 1809 of the First Presbyterian Church, Morristown, N. J., and after 1814 of First Presbyterian Church, Paterson, N. J. Besides him, between 1815 and 1822, the pulpit was sup- plied by Rev. Messrs. Ford, Spaulding, Condet, Wilder, Mills, Gildersleeve, Armstrong, Crane, Babbitt, and Chand- ler; between 1822 and 1824 by Messrs Polhman, Barton, Hendricks, Crane, Tuttle, Babbitt, Osborne, Harris, and Pierson; and between 1824 and 1834, by Rev, Messrs. Stebbins, Chansen, Olds, Romeyn, Wynkoop,* Judson, and Smith.

That a Sunday school was organized at a very early date, probably the first in the town is apparent from the following.

" Ramapo Works, June 25th 1821.

" We the subscribers promise to pay the sums of money respectively affixed to our names for the use of the Sun - day school in this place, and for the purchase of Bibles, The precise date of this reorganization was the first and other books to be distributed as premiums for the Sunday in September 1867, at which time the pulpit was most regular attendance, orderly behavior, and for the occupied by Rev. Dr. Henry Kendall, secretary of the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church. greatest proficiency in committing Christ's sermon on the Mount." This is signed by 26 names and the amount subscribed is $39.

That attention was given to vocal music is clear from the fact that as early as May 1812, 22 persons subscribed £11, 16s. for singing lessons to be taught by William Silcock, which was followed in January 1813, by 15 per- sons subscribing £6 for lessons by A. C. Colton, and in 1814, 512 for lessons by Sylvanus Ward and Ephraim Clark. That instrumental music was also cared for is clear from the fact that 36 persons subscribed £11 for a bass viol.

On May Ist 1834, Dr. Samuel Fisher " warned by fail- ing health to do less arduous duties than those which had multiplied around him" during the 20 years of his pas- torate at Paterson, assumed charge of this church.

His pastorate of six years was so valuable and his con- nection with the church since its erection so intimate, that we give the following additional facts concerning him. He was born in Sunderland, Massachusetts, in June

"Dr. Fisher was a man of remarkable energy, took a deep interest in affairs, and was foremost in every public enterprise for the advancement of Paterson. He even took the trouble to make a thorough census of the town in 1824, and again in 1825, 1827, 1829, and 1832.

In 1838, while pastor at Ramapo, his superior abilities were recognized by the denomination to which he be- longed, in his being selected to be the first moderator of the Old School General Assembly, the highest honor the Presbyterian Church can confer upon one of her ministers.

After Dr. Fisher's departure the church was supplied: from 1841 to 1844, by Rev. J. C. Day; from 1845 to 1846, by Rev. S. J. Harker; from 1846 to 1848, by Rev. William A. Westcott; from 1848, by Rev. William H. Kirk; from 1853 to 1857, by Rev. William T. Van Doren.

The village of Ramapo Works being exclusively a manufacturing place the vigor of its life, and of course, that of the church depended upon the prosecution of its industries; and when, with the advancing age of Mr. J. H. Pierson,* these declined the church declined also.

In 1863, at the organization of the Ramapo Car Works. the Methodists, with zeal and usefulness, labored in the place. But it was not till 1867 that the Old Church was reorganized.

On October 27th 1867 the Sunday school was organ- ized. On December ist 1867 William Van Wagenen and Henry L. Pierson jr., were chosen ruling elders, and on the 21st of April 1868, the church was formally taken under the care of the Presbytery of Hudson.t

The pastors of the church since 1867 have been: Rev. Goodloe B. Bell until May 1871; Rev. Peres B. Bonney, from November 1871 until November 1875; Rev. George A. Ford, from April 16th 1876 until April 29th r880; and the Rev. Eben B. Cobb, the present pastor, since April 29th 1880.

On the 2d day of June 1877, the church was incorpor- ated with Eli Beard, W. W. Snow, Henry L. Pierson jr., and E. F. Pierson, as trustees.

In March 1880, a Woman's Missionary Society was or- ganized which has proved a valuable auxiliary to the church's usefulness.

At present the church has three Sunday schools under its charge; at Ramapo, at Hillburn, and at Brook Chapel.}

*Mr. Wynkoop was pastor of the Island Church, Mahwali, from 1825 to 1838, and in his caff.it is stipuinted that he preach " in the afternoon or ovening of every other Sabbath " at Ramapo Works. We presume A similar arrangement was made with other ministers. As will be seen. many of them were pastors of the Lutheran congregation which after- ward built the Masonicus Lutheran Church (see history of that church).

*Mr. Pierson died in 1855 aged 90.

+The welcome by the Presbytery was unusually cordial, especially by the older members, among them Rey. Mr. Timiow, and Rey, George Pierson, who had preached at Ramapo in years long gone by, the latter as early us 1823.

#Brook Chapel is in the monutains, and was built for the colored people in this region in May 1877.

RAMAPO-CHURCH HISTORY.

"The present elders are: Eli Beard, Henry L. Pierson jr., Robert J. Davidson, and William Van Wagenen.

REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH OF WEST NEW HEMPSTEAD, FAMILIARLY KNOWN AS THE " BRICK CHURCH."

A parchnient bound book, purporting to be "The Church Records of the Reformed Dutch and English Congregations subject to the Synod of Dort in the upper part of Kakeath " (for the translation of which Dutch records we are indebted to Dr. A. S. Zabriskie), says that on Wednesday, September 28th 1774, a meeting of per- sons in sympathy with the Dutch Reformed Church was held at the house of James Christie, to take action with reference to the formation of a church.

At that time, Cornelius Smith, Abraham De Baun, Re- quier A. Quackenbos, and Johannes Smith were chosen elders, and Jacob Servant, Petrus de Marest, Gerret Smith, and Abraham Onderdonk, deacons, and Garrett Van Houten and Johannes W. Cogg a committee to take all necessary action with reference to full ecclesiastical organization.

Upon the following Sunday (October 2d 1774), the congregation assembled at the house of James Christie to hold their first preaching service, upon which occa- sion a sermon was read by John W. Cogg. At the close of this service, it was resolved that, owing to the illness of Garrett Van Houten, Cornelius Smith should, for the time being, act in his place upon the committee appoint- ed to take necessary stops toward full ecclesiastical or- ganization.

Agreeable to this call the Synod duly assembled, and, after considering the petition from "Kakeath," voted to establish a church at that point, with the official name of the " Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in the upper part of Kakeath," and appointed Dominie Van der Lin- den to effect the same; whereupon Dominie Van der Lin- den proceeded to " Kakeath," and on Sunday, December 4th 1774, formally ordained the elders and deacons pre- viously elected and ecclesiastically organized the church.

It is to be regretted that from this date till 1824 no records of this important church are in existence.

An old deed states that in 1786 the trustees of the church were Johannes Smith, Henry Young, Aury Blau- velt, James Demarest, John Myers, and Conrad Tinkey; and another old deed gives the trustees in 1796 as An- drus Onderdonk, Peter Van Houten, and Conrad Tin- kie.

| church at Clarkstown, about six miles distant, to which the name of New Hempstead had been given. Further than this, our knowledge of the "Brick Church " is a blank.

In the summer of 1824, Dominie James Demarest and sixty-eight of the members seceded from the brick church, and formed the True Reformed Church of Mon- sey. After their departure, Elder Cornelius A. Blau- velt and Deacon Isaac J. Cole made application to Clas- sis for recognition and reorganization, whereupon Classis appointed " Rev. W. Eltinge to meet with the male mem- bers of said congregation, at their church, on Saturday, July 10th 1824, to superintend an election of officers to supply vacancies," and to induct the same into office upon the following day. This he did.

At that time Cornelius A. Blauvelt, Adrian Onderdonk, David Cole, and John Tinkie jr. were elected elders, and Isaac J. Cole, John J. Ackerson, Adrian A. Onderdonk, and Laurent De Baun, deacons.

In 1853, the church established an outpost at Spring Valley, and, with the assistance of the people of Spring Valley, undertook the support of its own pastor. Pre- viously, since the formation of the Island Church in 1791, the " Brick Church " had been associated with it in the support of a pastor.

On Thanksgiving day, November 20th 1856, the con- gregation unanimously resolved to pull down their old church building, and to erect a new edifice on the old site, which was done.

In April 1865, the ranks of the church were once more

On Saturday, October 8th 1774, Cornelius Smith and depleted by the withdrawal of fifty-six persons to form John W. Cogg undertook the journey to Dominie Benja- the church at Spring Valley (for a full record of which see history of Spring Valley Church). After their de- parture the church closed up its ranks by electing, as elders, Isaac Whitney, Aaron Blauvelt, William Johnson, and Henry Seaman, and as deacons, Cornelius E. Blau- velt, Cornelius A. Blauvelt, and Alpheus Coe. min Van der Linden's, preacher at Paramus, and having secured his approval, wrote to J. H. Goetchius, preacher at Schralenburg and secretary of Synod, requesting an extra meeting of Synod convened at Hackensack on the 15th of November following.

The present officers are: John J. Gurnee, Samuel P. Blauvelt, Alpheus J. Coe, and James Cooper, elders; and Levi Johnson, L. D. N. Coe, Alfred Young, and Gouv- eneur S. See, deacons.

The pastors have been: David Mavinus, 1774 to 1778; Peter Leydt, 1789 to 179 -; George G. Brinkerhoff, 1793 to 1806; James D. Demarest, 1808 to 1824; Jefferson Wynkoop, 1824 to 1836; Peter Allen, 1837 to 1862; John R. Brock, 1862 to 1865; George G. Van Nest, 1865 to 1869; Henry Mattice (supply), 1869 to 1871; Benjamin T. Statesir, 1872 to 1881. At present the church is with- out a pastor.

The Sunday school was established about 1830, dur- ing the pastorate of Rev, Jefferson Wynkoop.

Its superintendents have been: Rev. Jefferson Wyn- koop, Rev. Peter Allen, Henry Seaman, C. E. Blauvelt, C. A. Blauvelt, C. E. Blauvelt (again), Rev. Henry Mat- tice, C. E. Blauvelt (again), Rev. Benjamin T. Statesir, and the present incumbent, C. E. Blauvelt.

The corner stone states that the first building was erected in 1788, and the records of 1824 show that some time prior to that the official name of the church was Under the ministry of Rev. James D. Demarest, on January 18th 1821, seventy-nine persons were received changed from "Kakiat " to " West New Hempstead,'' the West being prefixed to distinguish it from the Dutch |into the communion of the church upon confession of

their faith, and on the following May, sixteen in addition.

Of this revival Dr. David Cole writes: " I well remem- ber hearing people speak of it in my boyhood, when it was still recent, as one of God's wonder-workings among men. I regret that some eye-witness had not written the history of that great work of grace."

The property now occupied by the Rockland county poor house was once the parsonage farm of the Brick Church. It was sold to Cornelius Sickles, John S. Gur nee, James Suffern, and John J. Eckerson, Superintend- ents of Poor, July 22d 1837.

Near the church is an old burying ground, in which are the remains of many of the original settlers of the neighborhood.

THE UNION SUNDAY SCHOOL, SPRING VALLEY.

In the Spring of 1830, Rev. C. Hunt, pastor of the Re- formed Church, Clarkstown, organized, in the district school building, near the Dutch Factory, a Union Sun- day school, with Cornelius Jos. Blauvelt as superin- tendent.

This was done, primarily, to meet the religious desti- tution of the Dutch Factory neighborhood. Here for about a dozen years, during eight months of the year, the school was continued, " being occasionally turned out of doors for a year by a majority of the votes present at a district school meeting .*

The numbers on its roll, July 1831, were 13 teachers and 64 scholars. The more prominent teachers were Cornelius Jos. Blauvelt, Joseph C. Blauvelt, Samuel | Helms, Edward Taylor, David Cole, Isaac Lyon, John A. Crumb, Abram S. Crumb, and several devoted ladies.

The ministers who visited the school and encouraged the work .were Rev. Christopher Hunt, Rev. Alexander H. Warner, Rev. Samuel Pelton, and Rev. Jefferson Wynkoop.
