tained the age of seventy-seven years on June 27th. A well-attended surprise party was given him on the occasion by his friends and parishioners, who brought with them several appropriate gifts. The authority from which we gather these facts speaks of Mr. Whipple as being "justly popular" in that community.


In the notice of the gift of the new Altar to the Church at Altmar last month, the name of Mr. Jas. D. Henderson should have been associated with that of his sister, Miss Mary E. Henderson, as one of the donors.


The Rev. Chas. Noyes Tyndell has accepted the call to St. John's Church, Gloucester, Mass., and expects to leave Cape Vincent on or about August 15th, at which time his resignation takes effect.


The Rev. William DeLancey Wilson, Rector of St. Mark's Church, Syracuse, and Dean of the Fourth District, received the degree of S. T. D. from Hobart Col- lege at the recent Commencement.


OBITUARY.


Mrs. McKnight, widow of the Rev. Dr. Geo. II. MeKnight, of Trinity Church, Ehnira, died on Tuesday, July 17th, at the Rectory of that parish where she had lived so many years. It will be remembered that the Rev. Chas. II. McKnight suc- ceeded his father as Rector of Trinity Church, and consequently his mother was not obliged to remove from her home after the death of her husband, which occurred last December. Mrs. McKnight had been in delicate health for some time, and her departure was no surprise to her friends. She was a woman of great sweetness, as well as strength of character, and her loss will be deeply felt not only by her doubly bereaved children, but also by many friends who knew and loved her. Her remains were laid by the side of those of her hus- band in her family lot at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Rochester, the Rev. Dr. Con- verse officiating at the burial.


MESSENGER.


ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH, NEW HARTFORD.


(Subject of Illustration.)


When St. Stephen's Church in the town of New Hartford was organized it ranked No. 15 among the parishes and mission stations which now compose the Diocese of Central New York. At that time there were only three Protestant Episcopal Churches in Oneida County, viz., St. Paul's, Paris Hill; Trinity, Utica; and St. Paul's, Holland Patent. With the possible exception of a funeral conducted by the Rev. Dr. Henry Anthon in the Universalist house of worship then existing in New Hartford, there is no reason to suppose that this village and township had been favored with the services of the Church prior to A. D. 1824.


In the early part of June, 1824, the Rev. Amos Cotton Treadway, then in Deacon's Orders, came to visit his sister, Mrs. Susan P. Hamlin, then living in New Hartford. He then expected to return in a few weeks to Lynchburg, Va., from whence he came, although a New Englander by birth and training. The Presbyterian pastor invited Mr. Treadway to preach for him. Urged by the few churchmen in the village to do so, he ac- cepted the invitation, and preached in the Presbyterian house of worship on both the second and third Sundays in June, 1824. As there were almost no Prayer Books, and the majority of the congregation were un- able to use them had they been secured, he read only portions of the office. By these services attention was aroused and inquiry was made concerning the denomination to which the stranger belonged. So much interest was manifested that Mr. Treadway was persuaded to remain in this vicinity, and for several weeks he ministered in school houses, especially in that situated in the "Middle Settlement," where Messrs. John Savage and Colling Lock resided. So much affection for the Protestant Episcopal Church soon developed that Mr. Treadway decided to religuish his plan to return to Virginia, and give his time to the found- ing of a mission in New Hartford. The people rallied around him, and proposed


121


THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.


to secure a suitable hall in which to hold services. The Masonic Order kindly and generously offered the use of their lodge room, and this offer was accepted. A temporary lectern was set up and more seats provided. On the first Sunday in July, 1824, the congregation assembled for the first time in what is now the village of New Hartford. The full order of Morn- ing and Evening Prayer, so far as a Deacon can use these offices, was observed, the Canticles being chanted. Soon the question of a permanent organization was discussed. Such an organization was considered ad- visable, but could not be immediately com- pleted, as there was not a sufficient num- ber of male persons legally qualified to serve as wardens and vestrymen. This difficulty was soon overcome, and the parish was regularly organized and incorporated under the title, "The Rector, church- wardens and vestrymen of St. Stephen's Church at New Hartford."


The meeting at which this organization was completed was held in the Masonic Hall, September 1st, A. D. 1824, the Rev. Henry Anthon, then Rector of Trinity Church, Utica, presiding.


Messrs. John Savage and Colling Lock were elected wardens; and Messrs. Jeded- iah Sanger, Peter Hull, Nathan Marsh, Nathaniel Sherrill, M.D., Moses Dickin- son, Stephen Duen, Isaac G. Stratton, and Zedekiah Sanger were chosen as vestry- men. The Hon. Jedediah Sanger had been a very liberal supporter of the Presbyterian Society, but had now developed a very lively and earnest interest in the Protest- ant Episcopal Church. He and some others had already made generous sub- scriptions towards the erection of a Church edifice for the use of the growing congregation. The project met with much favor, and at the very first meeting of the newly elected vestry a committee was appointed to solicit further subscrip- tions for the building of a Church. At the second meeting, held October 5th, 1824, the Rev. A. C. Treadway was formally invited to officiate one-half of the time dur- ing the ensuing year. Thus writes the


historian of the parish : "In less than four months from the time when a young clergyman came here merely to visit a relative, and with no intention or hope of establishing an Episcopal Church in this village, many persons had learned to ad- mire her and her services; these had been fully established, a parish had been legally organized and efforts were being made to secure the funds for the erection of a. sanctuary. When we consider how many faithful missionaries zealously toil for years to accomplish equal results in a com- munity such as this then was, almost entirely ignorant of our historic Church and venerable liturgy, we ought to magnify and honor the goodness of the Lord, who so richly favored our parish in her early infancy. He truly acknowledged and blessed the ministry of His Sacred Word, and gave to His cause the favor and aid of Judge Sanger, at that time the most prominent, influential and wealthy man in our town, if not in this county." Judge Sanger purchased the lot upon which the present Church is built, and endowed the parish with 130 acres of land and an annuity of $250, which was afterwards changed to a permanent fund of $5,000.


On July 11th, 1825, the corner-stone was laid with Masonic ceremonies. At the Con- vention of the Diocese of New York held in October, 1825, the parish was admitted into union with the Diocese. At about the same time application was made to the Diocesan Board of Missions for aid in maintaining the services of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New Hartford.


This application was acted upon favor- ably, and for several years the Diocesan Missionary Board aided the parish in pay- ing the salary of its minister. On July 15th, 1826, the Rt. Rev. John Henry Hobart, D.D., visited St. Stephen's parish. and the Church not being completed, the Presbyterians kindly loaned their house of worship for the Church services. At this first Confirmation service 19 persons received the laying of hands by the Bishop of New York.


Prior to the year 1827 the Rev. Mr.


122


THE GOSPEL MESSENGER ..


Treadway divided his time between St. John's Church, Richfield, and St. Stephen's, New Hartford. He also used to hold services at various other points 12 or 15 miles distant, making these journeys always on horseback, and preaching two or three times every Sunday. In 1827 he confined his labors to this parish. In 1829, April 19th, he resigned the cure of St. Stephen's Church, and soon after removed to Johnstown, N. Y., "leaving behind him the monument of faithfulness, energy and devoted piety, a Church which under God owes very much to him." On June 6th, 1829, the generous benefactor of St. Stephen's Church, Hon. Jedediah Sanger, died at the good old age of 79 years. A handsome memorial tablet in the Church testifies to the appreciation of the congre- gation for the good works and liberal con- tributions of this friend of the parish. The Rev. Parker Adams succeeded the Rev. Mr. Treadway as Rector, and the parish continued to prosper under his ministrations. In July, 1830, an organ was purchased at a total cost of about $535. Soon after this, a bell was procured at a cost of $200. In the Spring of 1834, the Church was thoroughly repainted. On account of failing health, Mr. Adams re- signed the Rectorship September 6, 1834. He died in St. Augustine, Florida, June 10th, 1836, and a mural tablet was afterward erected in St. Stephen's Church to his memory.


In the year 1835 the women of the parish procured a sterling silver, hand- made set of Communion vessels consisting of a flagon, a paten and two chalices. These sacred vessels are still in use for the celebration of the Divine mysteries in this parish. Prior to 1835 the Holy Eucharist had been celebrated with the use of utensils furnished from the houses of the Rectors. On June 14th, 1839, the vestry decided to procure a new and heavier bell, as the old one had been broken. The new one is still in nse. In October, 1839, the parish came into possession of its first rectory. During the year 1844 the Church was greatly improved by the erection of a


chancel containing a lectern and pulpit, the aisles of the Church were carpeted and the Church painted both externally and on the inside. For various reasons, chiefly those of ill health on the part of the clergymen, there were frequent changes in the Rectorship of St. Stephen's Church, and several long periods when the parish was without a settled Pastor. In July, 1849, the vestry sold the Rectory which had been acquired in 1839. About this time one Rector writes: "The parish has struggled with pecuniary embarassment's and has suffered great trials in the removal of many of its most worthy members by death."


·In 1850 a new organ, still in use, was purchased from Mr. Andrews, of Water- ville, at an expense of about $550 and the old instrument. In 1853 a second rectory was purchased, and the Rector reported the year to be "one of prosperity with some discouragements." In 1857 the old windows in the sides of the Church were replaced by the stained glass winodws still in use. . In 1858 the front window was inserted as a memorial by the gifts of sixty of the former residents of New Hartford. The chancel was also. improved both in appearance and convenience. In 1863 the rectory was sold. In 1868 extensive re- pairs and improvements were made to the Church building. The recessed chancel was then built, the organ moved from the gallery to the present organ chamber, the gallery was taken down, and a new vestry room erected. The money secured by sale of rectory was applied to the expense of these improvements. In this same year a handsome marble font was presented to the Church as a memorial to Mr. Moses T. Eggleston, for many years a warden of the parish. In 1871 the parish purchased its third rectory at a cost of $2,000, which was fully paid in the year 1874. This rectory was subsequently rented, and after- wards sold by the vestry, as it was no longer needed. Mr. Eggleston, recently men- tioned, had willed his home, situated next to the Church, with certain reservations of life interest for his wife and her sister, to


123

St. Stephen's Church. His surviving relatives and benificiaries having died, the fine property now constituting the rectory came into the possession of the vestry in. 1883, and was occupied by the Rev. J. S. Lemon, Rector, in July of that year.


The following named gentlemen now compose the vestry of St. Stephen's Church : The Rev. W. G. Bentley, Rector ; Mr. George Benton and Mr. Wm. Osborn, wardens; Mr. H. T. Austin, Mr. J. B. Fraser, Mr. C. D. Getchel, Mr. E. D. Lyon, Mr. Richard Reed, Mr. J. V. H. Scovill, Mr. E. C. Smith and Mr. Breese Stevens, vestrymen. Mr. George Benton is treasurer, and Mr. Stevens is clerk of the vestry. The present Rector has been in charge of the parish since November 1st, 1898, the longest Rectorship in its history.


There have been in all 23 Rectors, be- sides numerous supplies who have minis- tered in the Church in New Hartford since its organization in 1824.


Among the most prominent of these may be mentioned the Rev. William E. Eigen- brodt, D.D., afterwards a professor in the General Theological Seminary, New York ; William A. Matson, D.D., one of the for- mer editors of the Gospel Messenger, and Charles Wells Hayes, the learned and eminent historian of the Diocese of Western New York.


The phenomenal growth which marked the early years of the parish existence has not been maintained. New Hartford being an industrial community the character of the inhabitants is somewhat migratory. The frequent changes of Rectorship have not been generally conducive to healthy growth. The division of large estates among heirs who have taken their share of the property which they have inherited, and moved to other communities, has served to impair the financial ability of the parish. The proximity to Utica, and the larger attractions which the city Churches can offer draw many people of means away from the suburban Church. Were it not for the generosity of Judge Sanger, and other early friends of the Church, who with great and prudent foresight left money to


endow the parish, St. Stephen's Church would now be one of the weakest among our Diocesan Missions. The regular con- tributions of the present congregation are not sufficient to pay the various Diocesan assessments, and to provide for the expense of janitor, organist, heating and lighting the Church, and other incidental expenses. Still, in spite of many discouragements there is reason to believe that St. Stephen's Church has justified her existence in New


Hartford. Including Chadwicks, when it was under the care of the mother parish, there has been 842 persons baptized, and 545 confirmed. Under the blessing of the great Head of the Church, St. Stephen's Parish ha's been, and still is, a spiritual force in the community in which it exists, -Laus Deo.

BOOK NOTICES.


"The Problem of the Old Testament, considered with reference to Recent Crit- icism." By James Orr, D.D., Professor of Apologetics and Systematic Theology, United Free Church College, Glasgow.


This is a very learned, complete and most satisfactory exposition of what true criticism of Holy Scripture should be, and of the inconsistencies, assumptions and mistakes of the irreverent and unbelieving school of critics, which some believing Christians are unfortunately trying to follow.


It consists of the treatise which, though not written with reference to such a com- pletion, was awarded the "Bross Prize" by the Trustees of Lake Forest College, Illinois, in 1905. The author is thoroughly familiar with his subject, knows all that the critics of every school have written, and takes a very fair and moderate atti- tude towards those whose conclusions he proceeds to contradict.


We shall not attempt to follow Prof. Orr through his very exhaustive treatise, but recommend it to the Clergy particularly as an instructive and helpful work in these days, when the Word of God in the Old and New Testament is suffering from the most insidious attacks that have ever been made upon it.


MESSENGER.


THE MISSIONARY THANK-OFFERING.


The central committee who are organiz- ing the movement for a great thank-offering .to be presented to the General Convention in Richmond in gratitude for the three hundred years of English Christianity since the first service at Jamestown, have issued a Trinity Bulletin. They promise another bulletin in Advent, and hope by that time the movement, which is already gaining momentum, will show more re- markable results. At present it appears that 1,554 parochial agencies have been established. As there were reported in the last annual 7,480 parishes and missions, the organization of the thank-offering has evidently room to grow. In many dioceses, however, it is nearly complete. In Ala- bama, for instance, 90 out of 106 parishes and missions have established agencies, and in Arkansas every one of the fifty-five has an agency. Florida too has an almost com- plete organization and the condition in Central Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, South Dakota and Los Angeles is excellent. In New York 200 out of 257 parishes have effected an organization ; in Pennsylvania 110 out of 203. Massachusetts, however, reports no parochial agencies at all, and there are forty-nine other Dioceses and dis- tricts in the same situation. The organ- izers of the movement have endeavored to cover both the Dioceses and the Missionary jurisdictions, foreign and domestic, eighty- eight in all. In seventy-four of them dis- trict committees have been already ap- pointed. Those that have not yet taken this action are, in alphabetical order, Cali- fornia, Cape Palmas, Easton, Fon du Lac, Hankow, Honolulu, Kyoto, Mar- qnette, Mexico, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, Salina, Shanghai, Springfield and Tokyo. In seven Dioceses or districts in which district committees have been appointed, they are, apparently, not yet organized. Such is the condition in Boise, Colorado, Harrisburg, Louisiana, North Dakota, Quincy and Spokane. From ten Dioceses or districts, in which no district committee was appointed there is unofficial

report that work is progressing. In four there has apparently been as yet no effort, but the committee are prosecuting their work so systematically and it will not be their fault if every parish in the Church has not its organized agency at work by Advent .- The Churchman.


WHY THEY WENT.


A missionary and his family, after a little rest in the far American home, were returning to their place of labor on the high plains of Iran. They had toiled long and wearily up through a mountain pass, and at last a panoramic view of the plain burst upon them.


It was dusty and cheerless. Far away, on a distant hillside, blistering in the sun, lay the city which was to be the scene of their future labors, as it had been "the scene of their past.


As they gazed upon it, one of the dear little ones of the family looked up into his


mother's face, and said most pathetically, "Mamma, it is not as nice as America."


With the heart of a true missionary, she calmed her own emotion, and looking lov- ingly into his face, said, "No, dear, that is why we have come."


SAVING BY SPENDING .- To take time for needed prayer is not only to use that time profitably, but it is sure to save time later. It is often hard to realize this truth at the moment; but there are many who can bear witness to it as a truth. When one is faced by a day in which tasks aro heavy and crowding, it is natural to grudge the giving of a minute to anything but those tasks. Yet the very pressure of a crowded day is added reason for giving time, at the start of the day, to prayer- more time, indeed, than one would on a day less burdened. This need has been well phrased in the words, "when it is hardest to pray, pray hardest !"
