This is our situation, and now Sir, judge if I have done right or not. I pledge my honour for the


408 The History of St. Philip's Church


truth of every sentence contained in this letter. I have had my doubts whether or not I ought to make this statement, but my friends, and the friends of the Church tell me I ought to do it. However, I confess if the certificate above alluded to had not been pre- sented to me, I should have held my peace on this un- pleasant and painful subject, for so it truly is to me. But if any part is denied I stand ready to make such proof as to put the matter beyond all doubt. I will then send a statement of facts under the oaths of as many persons as are necessary to prove the same to a demonstration.


Mr. Henderson, the bearer, can state such things to you of my character as you can wish to know. I remain with Respect and Esteem, your obedient servant, Harry Garrison one of the Wardens.


III. LETTER FROM THE REV. EDWARD J. IVES TO BISHOP HOBART.


Peekskill, March 5th, 1827.


Rt. Rev. and Dear Sir,


I called at your house on Thursday last in order to see you upon business relative to my church; not finding you at home, I thought it best to commu- nicate to you in writing what I intended to say.


In compliance with your request I came into the Parishes of Peekskill and Philipstown immediately after I had received letters of recommendation from you to the most influential and wealthy Episcopalians who professed to belong to them.


I found the Church in a wretched, disorganized state, its former members strayed from the "true fold," and


409


Appendix


but very few left who nominally were Episcopalians, and these ignorant of the usages and institutions of their Church.


Methodism and Calvinism and what not had led them into the paths of error and schism, and the general cry was "it is no matter what we are, so long as we believe in and agree the fundamental doctrines of Christianity."


Lamentable to relate, this cry (to the injury of our Church) is made even among those who call them- selves Churchmen. These professions of charity on the part of Episcopalians are very pleasing in the ear of those who once persecuted us to the death, but who are now, from sinister mnotives, adopting a contrary course.


But it affords me infinite pleasure in mentioning to you that the societies now under my charge are in a more flourishing state than what they were two or three months after I came here.


The Church in the Highlands has been repaired since I came here. They raised a subscription to the amount of five hundred dollars to do it. It is now well finished, and has had an addition of five to ten communicants.


The Church at Peekskill is out of repair and it re- quires about one hundred dollars to make it decent to meet in.


I ask charity, and I hope it may not be refused since my people have exerted themselves thus far to restore what once might have been preserved to the honour and respectability of the Church by prudent and judicious management. But my salary is in- sufficient to support me. I must have assistance from some source, or relinquish the charge of these parishes.


The object of my visiting you was, in part, to ask charity to support my little family. My salary for


410 The History of St. Philip's Church


the ensuing year is to be only $300-a little more if they may get it-a scanty pittance indeed. The situ- ation would do very well for a man without a family, but a person having one could not meet his annual expenses-unless this should become a sphere for mis- sionary labour-and a very important one it would make.


Could I not, Dear Sir, obtain (through your assist- ance) a more eligible situation?


Is Mr. Crosby to remain at White Plains?


Is the present clergyman to remain in New Bedford and North Salem? I ask these questions, indulging the belief, that you will afford me all the assistance within your power.


Another object in visiting you was to obtain your advice with regard to the disposal of the Parsonage. At the last parish meeting the officers of my church resolved to dispose of it, provided it met with your approbation, and Judge Garrison was authorised to address you on the subject-the same as he says he has done, and has not yet received an answer to his letter.


The annual avails from the Farm do not exceed $100, and part of this is to be appropriated to repairs on it. It will command (it is supposed) when offered for sale three or four thousand dollars. Is it not best to dispose of it, and invest the amount in safe and permanent stock in N. Y .?


I wish for your advice on this subject, as soon as you can conveniently communicate it to me, and any further assistance from you, Rt. Rev. and Dear Sir, would be gratefully appreciated by your sincere friend and


Obt Svt,


Edward J. Ives.


Rt. Rev. J. H. Hobart.

Mr Jay-Sir, we have passed the Rubicon and it is now necessary every man Take his part, Cast off allegiance to the King of Great Britain and take an oath of Allegiance to the States of america or Go over to the Enemy for we have Declared ourselves Independent


Mr Robinson-Sir, I cannot Take the Oath, but should be exceeding Glad to stay in the Country, to enable me to stay in the Country, and expecting that there would be a great Deal of Trouble about the forts in the Spring I have already sent some of my Goods farther Back in the Country to patersons (Paterson) and I should be Ex- tremely unhappy in being obliged to go over to the enemy for I have no way to mentain my family there but I have here. If I go to the enemy can I carry with me any of my effects? it is very uncertain who will Rule yet for the matter is not determined.


Mr Jay-yes, Sir, undoubtedly you can carry your effects but we Dont Desire you Sir to give your answer now we would Chuse that you Should take time to Consider of the matter before you give your answer for I can assure you Sir with- out flattery we should be exceedingly happy to have you with us


(mr Benson then Laboured much to Shew mr Robin- son the propriety of the measures and the great pleas- ure it would give us, to have him with us)


Mr Robinson-how long before I must give my answer a Day or Two Mr Jay-no Sir, you need not hurry your Self you can Take a month or Six weeks


Mr Robinson-you Gentlemen are not Ingaged on Sundays, will you come and see me one Sunday


Mr Jay-I am obliged to you Sir but I dont Expect to be here long Mr Benson-I am much obliged to you Sir and will Do myself the Pleasure of coming to see you one Sunday Mr Robinson then (retired)
