THOMAS H. DICKSON.
The concluding part of R. M. Stocker's address was as follows: This church has a glorious history. It has certainly accomplished a great work in the town. It has received 1,600 members into its communion and it has reached and influenced a large number of persons who have attended upon its services and assisted in many ways in the upbuilding of this society, who have never formally connected themselves with the church. Persons who secure pews and attend regularly upon church services must be interested in the ordinances of God's house. A church in a community does not exist for the members alone, but its doors stand ajar with the invitation to all to come in. This church has an influence more extended than Honesdale. It is felt wherever its members go. Some of Scranton's most

influential men and elders in her churches are from this church, and in the west and various parts of our country they are to be found, ever true in their devotion to this church. This church has given to the ministry Reverends C. B. Goodrich, David Torrey, D. D., Stephen Torrey, George N. Snyder, Alfred Hand and Alvin R. Pennell. It has sent its money in aid of missions to earth's utmost bounds, but it has done no more than it should have done. Considering the great ransom price that was paid by the head of the church to save the human race, no service can ever be too great to pay the debt of love we owe. This church with all its excellencies is not perfect. Neither in its individual membership nor as an organic whole. Its most ardent admirers realize that fact clearly; but with all its short- comings it still has hallowed associations for its members and for the congregation that worships here Sabbath after Sabbath. This celebration will have been in vain if our humility does not keep step with our satisfaction over what the church has ac- complished.
"Nothing in my hands I bring, Simply to the cross I cling,"
is the attitude of the true beliver. We recount the triumphs of the past, not for the purpose of ministering to our pride, but for the purpose of gathering inspiration from the consecrated lives of those who persevered unfalteringly in the establishment of this church. This church, founded on the Rock of Ages, as we believe, has secured to us great benefits and placed upon us great responsibilities. It is the duty and should be considered the privilege of this generation to carry forward the work that has been transmitted to it by the generation that has gone be- fore. The influence of the consecrated dead of this church is still an abiding force. The influence of the good man never dies. The influence of a great Christian organization like this church will undoubtedly have its effect upon the human race until the end of time. It remains for us to perform our full duty and transmit unimpaired all that we have received as a heritage from the past. Yes, more ! We should transmit all

we have received, together with all that we have to give, in order that the church may abide with increasing power for generations yet to come.
*"Though all may fail, the church we prize, The pastor and the saint depart, Still stands thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget."

APPENDIX A.
Some persons who have been educated to believe that the American Revolution was provoked entirely on account of taxation without repre- sentation, may still think there was no religious element entering into the matter at that time. It is not easy for us to understand at this day that the intolerance of the old country was inherited by our ancestors and to a certain extent established in the colonies. The Puritans of New England fled from tyranny at home, but they were intolerent of the Quakers and Baptists for a time. All these things were in keeping with the spirit of in- tolerance of the age. John Adams has been quoted, page 255. Perhaps a word from Thomas Jefferson, the author of the immortal Declaration of Independence, may not be out of place. In Jeffersonian Encyclopedia, page 140, Jefferson is quoted as writing: "The first settlers of Virginia were Englishmen, loyal subjects to their king and church, and the grant of Sir Walter Raleigh contained an express proviso that their laws 'should not be against the true Christian faith now professed in the Church of England.' As soon as the state of the colony admitted, it was divided into parishes, in each of which was established a minister of the Anglican church, endowed with fixed salary, iu tobacco, a glebe house and land, with other necessary appendages. To meet these expenses, all the inhabitants of the parish were assessed, whether they were or not, members of the established church. Towards Quakers who came here they were most cruelly intolerant, driving them from the colonies by the severest penalties. In process of time, however, other sectarisms were introduced, chiefly of the Presbyterian family and the established clergy, secure for life in their glebes and salaries, adding to these generally, the emoluments of a classical school, found employment enough in their farms and school rooms, for the rest of the week, and devoted Sunday only to the edification of their flock, by service and a sermon, at their parish church. Their other pastoral functions were little attended to. Against this inactivity the zeal and in- dustry of the sectarian preachers had an open and undisputed field ; and by the time of the Revolution, a majority of the inhabitants had become dis- senters from the established church, but were still obliged to make contri- butions to support the pastors of the minority. This unrighteous com- pulsion to maintain teachers of what they deemed religious errors, was grievously felt during the regal government, and without a hope of relief. But the first Republican legislature in 1776 was crowded with petitions to abolish this spiritual tyranny. These brought on the severest contest in
328

which I have ever been engaged." Jefferson then gives an account of the debates that followed until 1779 when disestablishment was effected in Virginia.
It is but just to our Protestant Episcopal brethren of America, to say that they have lay representation and that in many ways they have become very democratic in their church government.
The free spirit of our institutions has affected the government of all our churches. We are all learning to be more tolerant and more liberal. Prof. White, D. D., of Washington and Lee University, says that "Hanover Presbytery played a large part in securing the insertion of the principle of religious liberty in the Virginia Bill of Rights in 1776 and also in forcing through the Virginia Assembly Jefferson's bill for the establishment of religious freedom, and thus for the first time in all history, secured the complete divorce of the church from the state."
APPENDIX B.
MECKLENBURG DECLARATION.
Twenty-seven Scotch Irish of Mecklenburg county in Western North Carolina, of whom nine were Presbyterian elders, and one minister, met in convention May 20, 1775, and unanimously
1. Resolved, That whosoever, directly or indirectly, abetted, or in any way form or manner countenanced, the unchartered and dangerous in- vasion of our rights, as claimed by Great Britain, is an enemy to this country, to America, and to the inherent and inalienable rights of man.
2. Resolved, That we, the citizens of Mecklenburg county, do here- by dissolve the political bonds which have connected us to the mother country, and hereby absolve ourselves from all allegiance to the British Crown, and abjure all political connection, contract or association with that nation, who have wantonly trampled on our rights and liberties and inhumanly shed the blood of American patriots at Lexington.
3. Resolved, That we do hereby declare ourselves a free and inde- pendent people; are, and of right ought to be, a sovereign and self-govern- ing association, under the control of no power other than that of our God and the general government of the Congress; to the maintenance of which we solemnly pledge to each other our mutual cooperation and our lives, our fortunes and our most sacred honor.
The secretary of the meeting was Ephraim Brevard, a ruling elder of the Presbyterian church; and drew this bold declaration. Ephraim Bre- vard was born about 1750. He graduated at Princeton and was a physician by profession. When the British invaded the south Dr. Brevard and his six brothers entered the American army. He was taken prisoner in 1780 at Charleston and his health so shattered that he died in 1783. He was one of the most scholarly men of his time. His burial place is unknown and unmarked, but the county seat of Transylvania county, N. C,, is named Brevard in his honor.

CONTEMPORARY CHURCHES.
The First Presbyterian church of Wilkes-Barre was organ- ized as a Presbyterian church about 1830. The Wyoming pioneers were largely Congregationalists from Connecticut, and their first settled minister was Rev. George Beckwith, Jr., a graduate of Yale, who was there in 1770. In 1773 Rev. Jacob Johnson, another Yale man, became pastor of the church, con- tinuing until his death March 15, 1797. The congregation suffered much during the Penamite War and their church was destroyed in 1778 in the general disaster. In 1791 meetings were held in the log court house situated on the Public Square and in 1803 the church known as "Ship Zion" was completed. Revs. Jabez Chadwick, James Woodward, Dr. Porter and D. Harrower ministered to the people. July 1, 1803, twenty-seven members organized the Wilkes-Barre and Kingston church, Rev. Ard Hoyt, Rev. D. Moulton and Rev. E. S. Barrows min- istered until 1821 when Rev. Cyrus Gildersleeve became pastor. In 1829 Rev. Nicholas Murray became pastor and it was under his advice that the church changed from the Congregational to the Presbyterian form. Rev. John Dorrance, a Princeton

graduate, became pastor in 1833 and continued in that relation thirty-six years. Rev. A. A. Hodge, Rev. S. B. Dod, Rev. F. B. Hodge and Rev. Mr. Fullerton have successively ministered to this large and influential church. Hon. Oristus Collins, son of Dr. Collins, of Wayne county, organized the first Sunday school in 1818, the same year that his brother-in-law, Dr. Di- boll, organized the Sunday school at Bethany. Dr. Diboll learned of Sunday schools while visiting in Orange county, and it is highly probable that he informed Judge Collins of his work in Bethany, leading him to organize in Wilkes-Barre. Judge Collins was an honored elder in the Wilkes-Barre church for many years and Lee Stearns and Henry Dunning have been contributed to the eldership of that church from Honesdale church. This is the mother church of the Presbyterian churches in Wyoming Valley.
In 1793 Rev. Ira Condit organized the first Presbyterian church in the whole valley drained by the North Branch of the Susquehanna, at *Wyalusing. There were thirteen members and Uriah Terry was made Ruling Elder. This church be- came a Congregational church in 1809 and so continued until March 31, 1831, when the church "Resolved, that we unitedly agree to become a Presbyterian church." This church was rent asunder by the slavery question, like many other churches. There was an Indian misson at Wyalusing in 1762 established by David Zeisberger, known as the great Moravian apostle to the Indians, and a Delaware Indian convert named Anthony. A second Presbyterian church was organized at Wyalusing, and taken together the history of these old churches is interesting. While the Wyalusing church had a temporary Presbyterian organization prior to that of the Bethany church, it appears that the Bethany church was the first permanently organized Pres- byterian church in the Northeastern part of the state. A mis- sionary sent out by the Presbyterians, traveling through this

region, would organize a church and after a few weeks would go his way. A Congregationalist sent out from Connecticut would pass through this section and organize Congregational churches the same way. The people had but little choice between these two churches, they were anxious to have the gospel preached to them and the denomination that had the best opportunity to supply preachers was the denomination ultimately chosen.
The First Presbyterian church of Scranton was organized October 14, 1848. Rev. N. G. Parke preached to the inhabit- ants scattered along the Lackawanna Valley in 1844 and organ- ized the Lackawanna church. There was a searching of charters and records to ascertain whether this church was located at Scranton or Pittston, but it was finally decided that it belonged to Pittston and Rev. N. G. Parke ministered there for half a century. Father Hunt also traveled over this entire region as a temperance lecturer and a sort of a free lance among the churches. The pastors of the Scranton church have been Revs. J. D. Mitchell, J. F. Baker, M. J. Hickok, S. C. Logan and James McLeod. Like the Wilkes-Barre church this is a wealthy and influential church. Honesdale church has contributed Hon. Alfred Hand and A. W. Dickson to the eldership, and among its prominent members is E. P. Kingsbury, a son of one of our elders, and a son-in-law of this same elder, Colonel F. L. Hitchcock, is an elder in Green Ridge Presbyterian church.
The Montrose Presbyterian church was organized as a Congregational church in 1810, and reorganized as a Presby- terian church, September 12, 1823.
The Carbondale Presbyterian church was organized in June, 1829, the same year that the Honesdale church was organized, and they have been friendly contemporaries during all the years of their history. Both these churches joined the Hudson Presbytery at the same time, and they have been to- gether in the same Presbyteries ever since.
There are many other churches and congregations within the territory covered by Lackawanna Presbytery with thrilling histories which cannot here be recorded.

Note .- The running of the Stourbridge Lion from Honesdale up the Lackawaxen toward Seelyville and return trip on August 8, 1829, with Horatio Allen as engineer, is the greatest historical event in the history of Honesdale, and a cut of the engine is herewith given. In 1814, Stephenson had constructed a locomotive that made six miles an hour and October 6, 1829 he built the "Rocket" which ran from Manchester to Liverpool at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour.
CONCLUSION.
In February, 1906, a handsome baptismal font was placed at the right of the pulpit. It is of Vermont marble and was presented by C. F. Rockwell.
At the annual meeting of the congregation, held in the chapel Wednesday evening, February 14, 1906, the treasurer reported that the indebtedness of the church was $5,200. At the same meeting the resignations of E. C. Mumford and A. P. Thompson, as trustees, were accepted and William T. Moore and William H. Lee were elected to take their places. The board of trustees now consists of Hon. George S. Purdy, Seth W. Powell, E. A. Penniman, W. H. Stone, A. T. Searle, H. S. Salmon, J. D. Weston, William T. Moore and W. H. Lee.
Many of the old families that were once prominent in the church have become extinct in the town and others have but few representatives among us. These people gave character to the church and town and their influence abides with us to this day,

but the Christian religion is not confined to families or places, it has universal application and where one rests from labor an- other takes it up. We stand on the threshold of the Twentieth Century; behind us is the record of the wonderful Nineteenth Century and before us are infinite possibilities. The seventy- five years of our history are equal to almost one thousand years of history prior to that time when measured by the world's ad- vancement. When the Honesdale church was organized not a single locomotive had ever run on a railroad in America. August 8, 1829, the Stourbridge Lion, with wheels part wood and part iron and great walking beams, weighing perhaps six tons, with Horatio Allen as engineer, made a trial trip from Honesdale to Seelyville over a track wholly inadequate for the purpose. It consisted of green hemlock strips with flat iron on top that had been imported from England, with cross ties six or eight feet apart. Now engines weighing twenty times as much as the Stourbridge Lion traverse over 200,000 miles of substantial railroad track in the United States. A trip from London to the Pacific Coast then would have taken the best part of a year. Now it can be taken in two weeks. With the telegraph, telephone and printing press and a thousand other discoveries and iuventions the world has been revolutionized. Wealth and worldliness have increased until at times it would seem as though the church would be swamped in a deluge of worldly success, but in the midst of the storm, in the din of the strife, we hear the clarion voice of the reformer calling the peo- ple back to civic righteousness and virtue. The minister stands with his Bible proclaiming the old message, and the man who falls below its high standard, in the end is covered with con- fusion and shame. Our church is still young and is it too much to expect that there are centuries of usefulness in store for it, greater than the century that has past. The influence of the church in the future, as in the past, will depend upon the character and devotion of its pastor, officers and membership. To the maintaining of Christianity in all its purity may all the powers of the membership of the church ever be devoted.
