MANUAL OF THE


[D.] OUR CHURCH SABBATH SCHOOL.


A veil hangs over its organization and early history, almost as dim and obscure as the mists of Mirza, which shroud in myth and fable most of human history of primal times.


Resting as it does wholly upon tradition and the uncertainties of personal recol- lection, we may say that its origin (if not before the art of writing was known) at least antedates authentic history, for no line of records can be found, or was penned, through the years 1845, 1846, 1847, 1848, and until late in the year 1849. But during this period a few points just rise out, here and there, from these mists of uncertainty, in the names of persons who acted as Superintendents, while all around them darkness reigns supreme.


The first, the name of Charles E. Clarke, looms up almost as dimly, and quite as uncertain, as that of " Sin Mu" in Japanese semi-mythical history, to whom all the Mikados trace back the origin of their time-worn and long-enduring dynasty. Mr. Clarke's superintendency run through the years 1845 and 1846. The second, the name of Joseph W. Backus (who united with the Church Dec. 4, 1846, and elected elder in June, 1847, and subsequently a minister of the Gospel), who filled the office of Superintendent in 1847 and 1848. The third name is that of Andrew Parker, who served in the years 1849 and 1850. And here for a period of about two years we rise out of the mists of tradition into the light of true history, in the systematic records kept from September, 1849, to the close of the second quarter of 1851, by the Secretary of the school, Julius D. Foot, who united with the Church in 1847 by letter from Fair Haven, Vermont, was dismissed to Plymouth Church, Syracuse, in 1859, and since deceased. I mention these particulars concerning him, for I think something more than a passing mention of his name is due one who may be justly termed the father of our Sabbath School history, although only two years continued. And as this of his, is the first effort made toward keeping any record at all, and as being the middle year of the nineteenth century, and as it is the only bright point shining out of the enveloping darkness, not only of the four preceding, but also of the four succeeding years, to 1855-for these reasons I much desire (and trust I shall be pardoned for so doing) to quote most of the first annual report ever made to our school, that of Secretary Foot's, December 29, 1850.


He says : " A year ago last September (1849) was commenced the first record of the attendance of scholars connected with this school, and the number of verses each learned, and continued to December 30th. And on January 6th (1850) a report was made." " And although the result was not as gratifying as desired, sufficient interest was manifested by the scholars to induce the commencement of a more complete record."

LAFAYETTE STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.


"To carry out the plan proposed has cost much more labor and time than was anticipated; yet the labor has been amply repaid in witnessing the increased interest on the part of so many of the scholars, in the results, which are this day laid before you." [The statistics will be given in their order.]


"From my observation of the children, I think it safe to say that the increased interest manifested by them is a voluntary one on their part, and not the result of increased parental effort."


" Our school, though bearing the name of the Church, and meeting in its place of worship, may, with propriety, be considered a Missionary School, and the labor here performed Missionary Labor, from the fact that so large a majority of the scholars are not connected with the Church or congregation " (40 with, 70 not).


Mr. Foot thus speaks to the scholars :


" Dear scholars, while we are gratified at the increased interest manifested in the Sabbath School, far greater would be our cause of rejoicing had we reason to believe the instruction here given had been instrumental in winning the affections of your hearts to the Saviour.


" Large and precious promises are made to you. Suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.


"May you, dear scholars, be of that number, that shall make up the society of the holy and the blest in eternity."


He says to the "Dear teachers ! We to-day close the labors of another year in this blessed enterprise !


"May God forgive us wherein we may have been unfaithful, and water with the dews of heaven the seed here sown, that it may bring forth much fruit.


" The changeable character of the school should be one among many motives to impress us with the importance of laboring with each scholar, as though it was the last and only opportunity we should ever have, to give, or they to receive, that instruc- tion which may prove their salvation.


" Say not ye, there is yet four months, and then cometh the harvest ? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields ; for they are white already for the harvest.


" And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto eternal life.


" And while it is our duty, as well as our privilege, to labor for the immediate con- version of the scholars, if we do not see the immediate results desired, let us not become discouraged, but trust in the precious promises of God, that the seed thus sown by us shall hereafter yield an abundant harvest, even though the fruit shall be gathered by other hands, yet shall both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together."


" When the harvest shall be gathered, may it be found that Superintendent, teachers and scholars of this Sabbath School have all been gathered into our Heavenly Father's Garner, and be permitted forever to mingle our praises together around His throne !"


I quote a few words more :


"All will not probably prize the record as much as the one who has takenl so much interest in it, as to bestow the labor necessary to its completion ; but allow me to say, that I believe that such a record should be kept of every Sabbath School, and that the record should be the property of the Church."

MANUAL OF THE


Notwithstanding this beautiful report, and the excellent spirit of it, and the evident wisdom of such advice, we find the record continued only for the two first quarters of the next year (1851), and then a dark cul-de-sac, engulfing all knowledge of the workings and condition of the school down to January, 1855.


The following will be found a statement of the more important facts in regard to the school's history, from its origin down through the years (as far as can be obtained) to the present time, June, 1876 :


At the time of the organization of our Church Society, a Sabbath School of the old Park Church, under the superintendence of N. B. Palmer (if the tradition can be relied on), was in existence, which, being merged into the Lafayette Street Church Sabbath School, passed under the care of Charles E. Clarke.

,


The following is a list of all the names of persons who have acted as teachers since the organization of the Church, as far as we find any record ; there being none for the years 1845-6-7-8 ; none for 1852-3-4 ; none for 1860-1-2. The list also gives the years following the one in which the name first appears, during which each served (excepting those just mentioned as having no extant record). But it is fair to conclude that many acted as teachers (if not all) whose names appear in the last year before, and the first year after the blank. For instance, we will take the names of Mrs. Trowbridge and Mr. Otto, who are known to have resided in the city, whose names we find on the record of 1850-I ;* again in 1855, and on to 1859 ; then again in 1863, onward to 1873 for Mr. Otto, and to 1876 for Mrs. Trowbridge. We rightly infer that they held on during these gaps in the school's history between 1851 and 1855, and between 1859 and 1863. And the same may be said of all who had classes during the years immediately preceding these breaks in history.


Then we will take another case, that of some, if not all, of those names which appear on the record for 1850-1, 1855 and 1863, for the first time, that they might have been on the teachers' list for all the years of these blank periods. For instance, Mrs. Trowbridge, we understand, was a teacher from the first, carrying back the record of her services to the period anterior to authentic history. And another instance is that of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Hale, whose names first appear in 1855; but who, I learn from personal conversation, were connected with the school as teachers in 1852 (the year they united with the Church), and in case of Mr. Hale continuously without break down to 1870


And these statements are warranted in the cases of many other names. I speak of them as being those, concerning whom I am positive.


I leave blanks, which occur in our records in the years, of all the names, not doubting that I might safely fill them up, but I prefer to stand by the records as I find them. .


There were undoubtedly many who were connected as teachers in the Sabbath School, only during these gaps in its history, and who are not, and cannot be known as such at all. These long explanations are made in justice to all parties.


* Partial record of teachers for 1851.

MANUAL OF THE


Mrs. Trowbridge took charge of the infant class probably in 1860; though this being one of the blank years, yet from what can be found, and from personal conversation, this may be stated quite positively.


The first mention of the infant class is found in 1855, Mrs. Phoebe Selden, one of the original members of the Church, for its teacher, with an average of 7 or 8 scholars ; among them we find the name of Isaac Kibbe.


The next year, 1856, there were 13 names, and the teacher was Miss Dixon, of whom we have no further record. The year 1857, Miss J. Snyder was teacher ; class numbering 22 on the record.


1858, Miss J. Snyder, class of 15.


1859, Mrs. Ingersoll (not a member of the Church) had charge of the class ; 30 scholars on the register.


1860, Mrs. Trowbridge, as before said, to 1876, a period of 16 years.


To notice the teachers of the various Bible classes separately would take up too much time and space, hence they will each appear with the middle department teachers in the order of time, until we come down to the organization of the present young people's and adult Bible classes.
