On the 11th of Sept., 1839, the board of vestry met and resolved, "that the Rev. Mr. Swart be invited forthwith to become their rector." When the Rev. Mr. Swart being called upon signified his acceptance of the invitation, and became the first rector of Trinity Church, where he con- tinued to labor until the 7th of January, 1840, when he tendered his resignation to the vestry, which they accept- ed on the 9th inst. The parish being thus early left with- out a rector, it enjoyed only such services as could be obtained from Sunday to Sunday, of the neighboring clergy for nearly ten months : when on the first of October, 1840, the Rev. Mr. Dowdney of Athens, accepted a call to take charge of the parish as its rector. The parish having been left so long without a rector in its earliest infancy, being at first but few in number, could not be expected to have gained much strength. It is, therefore. not strange that in the spring of 1841. finding themselves unable to pay the rent for the building in which they worshiped, they were obliged to suffer their organ. cushions, books, stoves, and fixtures to be legally seized and sold.
Being thus cast down, but not, destroyed, the congrega- tion obtained as their next place of worship a room in the District School House on the corner of Dallius and Ferry streets, and while worshiping there the vestry re- ceived a communication from the Rev. William I. Kip, rec- tor of St. Paul's parish in the city of Albany. proposing to them to become a missionary parish, and as such to be aided by the other parishes in the city, which proposition was not accepted. and the congregation continued to labor on as an independent parish.
The next effort was to obtain some permanent place to worship; and to this end during the summer of 1841, a lease was obtained from the heirs of the estate of Richard
248
Trinity Church.
Ray, late of New York, of a plot of ground some 60 by 70 feet on the south east corner of Herkimer and Franklin streets, on which to erect a church edifice, and although the minutes of the vestry do not show any proceedings in relation to leasing the ground, or erecting the building, yet I am informed by gentlemen who were vestrymen at the time, that during the summer of 1841, Mr. John Bradt, was employed to draw plans, &c., for an edifice to be built of wood, of the Grecian order, and that Mr. Wm. Chambers was contracted with to do the carpenter work of said building for the sum of $ 1440. That after the building had been commenced, and during the fall of 1841, the Rev. Mr. Dowdney tendered his resignation as rector of the parish, leaving it to get on as best it could. From this time until June, 1842, the parish was without a rector or place of worship, during which time the building was completed, and capable of seating about 300 persons ; when the vestry tendered a call on the 18th of May, to the Rev. Edward Embury, to become rector of the parish, which call was accepted, and the Rev. Mr. Embury entered upon the duties of his office, as I am informed, in June, 1842, although his acceptance, or the time of entering upon his duties as rector are not recorded in the minutes of the vestry. And no records of any proceedings of the vestry seem to have been made, from May, 1842, until Easter Tues- day, April 18. 1843. at which time after morning prayer being said by the Rev. Mr. Embury, Messrs. Wm. H. Hughes and Charles Anderson were elected wardens. and Messrs Geo. Stanwix, Thomas Bateman. Richard Parr, Richard McGliun, Arthur Boyl, John Coughtry, R. H. Northrop, Charles Clapp, vestrymen, for the ensuing year.
At this time the congregation was but small; and the few were people of but limited ability, to sustain the pa- rish in a pecuniary point of view ; and the building they had erected was encumbered with a mortgage of $1080; besides other parish indebtedness. But being encouraged by their rector to labor on in their laudable work of build- ing up a congregation, the vestry met on the 20th of April, 1843, to take into consideration the condition of the finan- ces of the parish. And after appointing George Stanwix
249
Trinity Church.
as treasurer and John Coughtry as secretary, they direct- ed their treasurer to " call upon and ask payment of those persons who for some time past had not paid their indebt- edness to the Church; and resolved that Mr Clapp be authorized to collect moneys in the city of Albany. and that Messrs. George Stanwix and Thomas Bateman. be a committee to raise money in New York city, to liquidate the mortgage on their Church."
With what success the above named persons labored in raising moneys I find no record in the minutes of the vest- ry. but am verbally informed, that during the years 1842 and 1843, there was raised in various ways for the relief of the parish some $500. which was paid on the mortgage ; when in the fall of 1843. the Rev Mr. Embury resigned his rectorship of the parish, leaving it once more without any pastoral care.
The next recorded action of the vestry was on the 19th of Dec., 1843. when they "unanimously resolved that W. H. Hughes. senior warden. be authorized to invite by let- ter, the Rev. Edward Selkirk. of New York. to become rector of their parish." Accordingly such invitation was forwarded to the Rev. Mr. Selkirk. which he accepted on the Ist of January, 1844, and during the month entered upon his duties as rector.
The parish had now been in existence a little more than four years, and had struggled on amidst many diffi- culties, still weak and embarrassed with debt, and with but a feeble prospect of being long able to maintain an existence.
Although considerable had been done, yet the church edifice was far from being a comfortable place of wor- ship, being so imperfectly warmed that few could endure the cold during the hours of service. Hence all the per- sons including men, women and children that could be gathered for the regular morning and afternoon services during the winter of 1844 varied from 20 to 40 souls. It was at once proposed by the rector, to open the church for a third service in the evening. At the third service many who were not members of the parish of Trinity Church, came in. Yet the Church being cold and badly
250
Trinity Church.
lighted, and having neither choir, nor organ, to aid in ren- dering the services attractive, but little seemed to be effected.
The foremost and greatest difficulty that seemed to present itself to hinder the growth of the parish. was its indebtedness; and the want of pecuniary ability on the part of the parishioners to remove it. But being once more encouraged by having a rector, the sinall band of ladies connected with the parish set themselves to work to do what they could; and finding some ladies of the other parishes ready to second their efforts, before the spring of 1844. they had raised some $200. Then a sub- scription was started among the parishioners, and after- wards circulated among the citizens, until in June, 1844; it was found that the sum of $680,75 had been raised. which sum liquidated the mortgage on the building. Thus en- couraged. soon after a small organ was obtained (and paid for by the efforts of the ladies. the following winter). A voluntary choir came together. and the parish seemed gradually to increase. The next thing to be done was to have the lamps altered. and stoves provided sufficient to warm the Church ; the lamps being made to burn camphene were altered to burn oil. and additional oil lamps added, which served to light the Church effectually. Two new coal stoves were purchased during the fall of 1844, and some slight alterations made in the Church, rendering it quite comfortable for worship during the winter season of 1845, and after. In the meanti.ne, the sidewalks and pavement were put in order, and a plain picket fence erected on the front and west side of the Church at an expense of about $80; and a new vestry room built on the south east corner of the Church at an expense of over $40. Hence there was from January 1st, 1844, to January Ist, 1845, the following amounts paid for former indebtedness of the parish, and improvements about the Church, together with an organ, besides sundry small debts: $660

No sooner had the above been accomplished, than the ladies of the parish again seconded the efforts of the gentlemen in procuring means for carrying on the work of building up the parish, which resulted in their paying into the treasury, in December 1844, for the purchase of an organ and other church purposes the sum of $210 or thereabouts.
During the year 1845, the parish continued gradually to improve in numbers and strength; and although so much had been done during the previous year, still all had not been done that stood in the way of the growth of the parish. There still remained a floating debt of some two hundred dollars to be liquidated. How it could be done was the question to be solved. The pro- position was made in vestry meeting, that a subscription should at once be commenced by the wardens and vestry and circulated among the parishioners. The proposition was adopted, and the following form of subscription was accordingly drawn up, to which the persons whose names are attached, subscribed.
"We, the subscribers, agree to pay thie sums set oppo- site our respective names, for extinguishing the floating debt now existing against Trinity Church. Which debt
22

being extinguished leaves the Church free from all in- cumbrance, and in such a state as to meet its annual expenses, by its regular annual income. So that hereafter there need not accrue any floating debt."

This subscription having been made, the ladies of the parish seconded the efforts of the gentlemen, by organiz- ing themselves into a sewing society, for the purpose of raising funds for the parish, which resulted in their pay- ing into the treasury of the church, as the proceeds of a fair, the sum of $325, which, together with the amount raised by subscription, enabled the parish to pay all its debts, and left $255 surplus, which was deposited in the Albany Savings Bank for future use, so that at the close of the year 1845, the parish was free from debt, and, though small, in a prosperous condition.
At the commencement of the year 1846, the parish being in a flourishing condition, it was thought desirable on the part of many parishioners, to exchange the organ then in possession of the parish, it being small and a very imper- fect instrument, for a larger and more perfect and effec- tive instrument; accordingly it was agreed that the money then in the bank might be used for that purpose, provided, that a sum necessary to pay the balance between the old organ and a new one could be raised by subscription after using the money on hand. Accordingly it was ascer- tained that such an organ as was desired could be ob- tained for the sum of $500, or $350 and the old organ,
255

and to make up the requisite sum of $350, the following subscription was made :
"We, the undersigned, promise to pay the sum affixed to our names, for the purpose of procuring an organ for Trinity Church, Albany."

When the above amount having been subscribed and paid, it being the sum required, a contract was made with Messrs. Hall & Labah, organ builders of New York city, to furnish a specified organ, for the sum of $350 and the old organ. The organ was accordingly built and placed in the church, corner of Herkimer and Frank- lin streets, in July, 1846. The organ was pronounced by competent judges to be a most perfect instrument in all its parts, and served to enable the choir vastly to improve in the performance of their part of the service, all of which tended to aid in building up the church of God. It was soon found that more persons were disposed to come together for divine worship than the church would accommodate, especially of an evening, and the subject began to be talked of in private, of in some way providing more church accommodations Va- rious suggestions were made during the fall and winter of 1846, when in the spring of 1847, the demand for more church room apparently increasing, a meeting of the vestry was called on the 1st of March, to take into considera- tion the propriety of building a new church. The result of their deliberations was, the appointing of a committee
256
Trinity Church.
of three to draw up and circulate a conditional subscrip- tion, and also to select a site for the new church, and report to the next meeting. The committee appointed was the Rector, Rev. Edward Selkirk, and Messrs. S. F. Phelps and Packard Van Benthuysen, Mr. George Stan- wix was afterwards added to the committee.
In discharge of the duties assigned them, the committee procured some five subscription books, drew up the follow- ing form of subscription, to which, in process of time, the following amounts were subscribed and paid over to the treasurer of the congregation, for procuring the site and the erection of the church edifice, now known as Trinity Church, in Broad street :
" In consideration that the corporation of 'Trinity Church,' in the city of Albany, shall build a new church edifice for the congregation they represent, we, the sub- scribers, hereby agree to pay the said corporation the sums set opposite our names respectively, in such rata- ble sums, and at such times, as said corporation shall direct, for procuring a site and erecting a suitable church edifice thereon ; provided, however, that on or before the first day of June, 1847, the whole amount of subscription for the aforesaid purpose, and means otherwise pledged to said corporation therefor, shall amount at least to the sum of twelve thousand dollars.
And it is further provided, that our individual sub- scriptions shall when paid in, be offset against the value of any pew or seat which we may purchase in such new church edifice.
