Mr. Bedell communicated the following answer :


To WILLIAM THACKARA, THOMAS T. STILES, CORNELIUS STEVENSON, and others, Committee.


Gentlemen :


As it seems important, from a variety of considerations,


96


that my answer to your communication of to-day should be immediately given, I take the opportunity of saying that I will cordially accept your invitation to the rectorship of the new church about to be erected, and will endeavor, by the help of God, to carry the object into successful operation, to the good of his Church, and the glory of his holy name.


Signed, G. T. BEDELL.


PHILADELPHIA, May 23d, 1822.


On the 3d March, 1823, the contributors to St. Andrew's Church adopted a charter, became an ecclesiastical corpora- tion, and elected the first Vestry.


It has been well said by his biographer, Dr. Tyng, that " from his entrance upon his duty as a pastor in this im- portant field of labor, to the close of his life, his history is entirely identified with that of his church."


His death took place at the house of Hugh Boyle, Esq., in Baltimore, on Saturday, the 30th August, 1834. His remains were brought to this city, under charge of a com- mittee of the Vestry; and on Tuesday, the 2d of Sep- tember, the funeral services were held in St. Andrew's Church, and his mortal remains were laid in a vault on the south side of the church.


The Vestry requested the Rev. Dr. Tyng to preach the funeral sermon, and he discharged that duty in a most solemn, impressive, and acceptable manner.


Dr. Bedell left a wife, who still lives, and two children ; a daughter and son, the Rev. G. Thurston Bedell, D.D., the eminently successful and beloved rector of the Church of the Ascension, New York.

SKETCH OF REV. DR. CLARK.


REV. JOHN ALONZO CLARK, D.D., was born at Pitts- field, Massachusetts, on the 6th of May, 1801. He was the youngest of eleven children, and two of his brothers, Wil- liam Atwater Clark and Orin Clark, became clergymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church.


At the age of fifteen he was confirmed in Manlius, Onondaga County, New York, where his eldest brother was then preaching. He graduated at Union College, Schenec- tady, in July, 1823. Rt. Rev. Horatio Potter, now Pro- visional Bishop of New York, was his college room-mate.


After studying at the New York Theological Seminary, he was ordained deacon in All Saints' Church, New York, by Bishop Hobart, April 12, 1826.


He married Miss Sarah Buell, of Fairfield, Herkimer County, New York, October 5th, 1826, and immediately after entered upon his missionary duties at Palmyra, Wayne County, and in the neighboring towns of Lyons and Sodus. Three years after he was called to Christ Church, New York, as assistant rector, the Rev. Dr. Lyell being rector.


In the fall of 1832 he accepted the call to Grace Church, Providence, Rhode Island. On the 1st of September, 1835, he began his labors as rector of St. Andrew's Church. During the year 1837 he was mostly abroad, travelling for the benefit of his health, which, however, was but partially restored. In February, 1843, he sent the following letter of resignation to the Vestry :


9


98


PHILADELPHIA, February 28, 1843. To the Wardens and Vestrymen of St. Andrew's Church.


Gentlemen :


After much prayerful deliberation, I have come to the determination to request you to permit me to resign the charge and rectorship of St. Andrew's Church. You are aware that, for a considerable period, I have been suffering in my health in a way that has disabled me from perform- ing the amount of pastoral labor I desired.


I have been indulging the hope that my health would, in time, be so far re-established that I might ultimately meet all the responsibilities of my office, so that the interest of the parish would not suffer through any lack of service on my part; I cannot, however, reasonably indulge this hope any longer, for while, on the one hand, my medical adviser is decided in his opinion that my only prospect for recovery or prolonged life is rest from public speaking, and a relinquishment of the arduous labors of a pastoral charge ; on the other hand, I see a vast amount of parochial duty and diversified ministerial labor which I cannot, in my pre- sent state of health, possibly perform, but which appear to me very essential to the growth, interests, and prosperity of any church : under this view of the case, I feel it my bounden duty to tender you my resignation as rector of St. Andrew's Church.


You can well conceive that I have not come to this deter- mination without many long and painful mental struggles. I feel my heart knit by no ordinary ties to the congregation of St. Andrew's. No minister need expect or desire a larger amount of happiness than it has been my privilege to enjoy in my pastoral connection with this church. Time


99


can never efface the memory of the pleasant intercourse, the happy seasons of spiritual refreshment, the spontaneous effusions and multiplied evidences of warm personal regard, which have cheered and irradiated my path during a period of nearly eight years of ministerial labor among you.


In severing this pleasant connection, I desire to leave my recorded testimony in relation to the warm and deep affec- tion I feel, and ever shall continue to cherish, for the people among whom, with so much personal comfort, and I trust with spiritual advantage to immortal souls, I have exercised my ministerial office. While this is the state of my mind to the congregation generally, it is most emphatically so towards all the individuals that compose the body I address.


Be pleased therefore, gentlemen, to accept, personally and individually, for yourselves, the expression of my warmest regard, and the assurance that I shall continue to esteem you as among my most attached and valued friends.


You will also please to consider this communication as a formal resignation, on my part, of the charge and rector- ship of St. Andrew's Church, Philadelphia.


With every sentiment of respect and esteem,


I am, gentlemen, Your affectionate friend, (Signed) JOHN A. CLARK.


The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted :


Whereas, This Vestry have received a communication from their pastor, the Rev. Dr. Clark, proposing to resign the rectorship of St. Andrew's Church, on account of the feeble state of his health, they desire to record their high


100


estimation of the spiritual and faithful manner in which he has discharged the important duties of his office, and their sincere personal affection and respect for himself, and also their grateful sense of the Divine blessing which has so richly rested upon his labors in this congregation. There- fore,


Resolved, That in consideration of the services rendered to St. Andrew's Church by the Rev. John A. Clark, D.D., the rector, and of the present feeble state of his health, and for and towards his future maintenance and support, the Vestry do appropriate the sum of three thousand dol- lars, to be paid to the said John A. Clark, in way and manner hereinafter specified.


Resolved, That the resignation of the Rev. John A. Clark, D.D., rector of this church, presented at the last meeting of this Vestry, be now accepted.


Resolved, unanimously, That we cannot consent to the dissolution of the connection which has hitherto united us to our venerated pastor, without the expression of the most painful sympathy with him for the cause which has ren- dered it necessary, and of the hope that, by a cessation from the labors of the pulpit, his health may be restored and his useful life prolonged.


Resolved, That in parting with him we desire to bear the strongest testimony to his faithfulness as a pastor, to the purity and piety of his life, and to the talents which have made him useful not only to his own congregation, but to the Church at large.


Resolved, That he will take with him into private life, or into whatever field of usefulness the providence of God may lead him, and in which his health may allow him to


101


be employed, the personal respect and sincere affection of every individual of this Vestry.


Resolved, That the Secretary be requested to furnish the Rev. Dr. Clark with a copy of the foregoing resolutions.


Though unable to labor longer in the pulpit, he was still indefatigable with his pen; and with an astonishing in- dustry, even in the midst of severe suffering, he toiled for the glory of God and the advancement of his holy Church. His editorial duties in connection with the Episcopal Re- corder, he continued to the last; and only two days before his death, though scarcely able to stand, he dictated an article for the next week's paper.


Sunday (the day before his death) he passed in his chair. In the afternoon his successor, the Rev. Thomas M. Clark, visited him and prayed with him, though Dr. Clark was then too feeble to engage in any conversation. He retired to rest as usual on Sunday night; towards morning he awoke, but it soon appeared that his mind was wandering ; in a short time he sank into a state of unconsciousness, from which he was never aroused. Quietly and without appa- rent pain, his ransomed spirit passed away from earth, on the 27th of November, 1843.


The Vestry of the church were immediately called together, and the following extracts from the minutes will show their proceedings and evince their feeling :


At a special. meeting of the Vestry of St. Andrew's Church, held on Monday evening, 27th November, 1843,


The chairman stated that the meeting had been called in consequence of information having been received of the death of the late rector of the church, the Rev. John A.


9*


102


Clark, D.D., who died at his residence, in Sansom Street, this day.


Whereupon, the following resolutions, expressive of the feelings of the Vestry, on this mournful event, were una- nimously adopted, and the secretary requested to furnish a copy of the same to his family.


Resolved, That we have received, with feelings of pro- found sorrow, the intelligence of the decease of our late rector, the Rev. Dr. John A. Clark; and that while the Church at large has reason to mourn, in his removal, the loss of one of its most useful members, it especially be- comes this parish, the scene of his last labors, to lament his departure, to revere his memory, and to cherish an affec- tionate remembrance of his virtues, his piety, and his use- fulness.


Resolved, That we most deeply sympathize with his bereaved widow and family, in this mournful event, and tender them the expression of our heartfelt condolence in their sorrow and affliction.


Resolved, That the wardens be authorized to make the necessary arrangements for the funeral, and that the expense thereof be defrayed out of the funds of the church.


Resolved, That the Wardens be requested to have the church put in mourning for the deceased, and that the vault now occupied by the deceased members of the late rector's family, be appropriated for his interment, and for the use of his family.


Resolved, That the Vestry attend his funeral in a body on Wednesday next.


Extract from the minutes.


GEORGE HAWKINS,


Secretary.


103


His funeral took place at St. Andrew's Church, on Wed- nesday, the 29th November, when a sermon was preached by Dr. Tyng, the cherished friend and fellow-laborer of the first two rectors of St. Andrew's.


He lies buried in the churchyard of St. Andrew's, within a few feet of the vault which contains the remains of his predecessor; and eight beloved children lie beside him, to rise with him in the resurrection of the just. His wife and one son, John A. Clark, Esq., a young lawyer of this city, only remain of his once numerous family.


The ministry of Dr. Clark was eminently a fruit-bearing one. He was wise in winning souls, and though, in his lifetime, he was made the honored instrument of leading hundreds to the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world ; yet even now, being dead, he yet speaketh and blesseth the world by the works of his pen, which are now scattered throughout the land, and which still preach with renewing and sanctifying power, through the aid of God's holy Spirit, though the tongue of the speaker is still, and the hand of the writer is dust. In the great day of account, multitudes will rise up and call him blessed.

SKETCH OF BISHOP CLARK.


THE RT. REV. THOMAS MARCH CLARK, D.D., was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, July 4th, 1812. It is an interesting fact, that three of his brothers are now minis-


104


ters of Christ, viz., Rev. Rufus W. Clark, D.D., Brooklyn, New York, Rev. George H. Clark, rector of St. John's Church, Savannah, Georgia, and the Rev. Samuel A. Clark, rector of St. John's, Elizabeth, New Jersey.


After graduating at Yale College, in 1831, he studied theology at Princeton, and left the Seminary there in 1835. He preached but a few months as a Presbyterian minister, when he sought orders in the Episcopal Church, and was ordained deacon, in St. Paul's Church, Boston, by Bishop Griswold, in January, 1836.


He was soon elected rector of Grace Church, Boston, in which church he was advanced to the priesthood, by Bishop Griswold, and where his preaching attracted marked atten- tion, and his labors were signally blessed in the building up of this young parish.


He was elected rector of St. Andrew's Church in Oc- tober, 1843, and entered upon his duties on the 1st of November following. He immediately took a high stand among the clergy and in the diocese, as is evident from the fact that in the Convention of 1845, after the withdrawal of Dr. Tyng, Mr. Clark and Dr. Bowman (the present Assistant Bishop), nearly equally divided the votes of the clergy, for Bishop of Pennsylvania.


On the 1st of May, 1847, he resigned the rectorship of St. Andrew's, to take the place of assistant minister on the Green Foundation, of Trinity Church, Boston.


From thence he subsequently removed to Hartford, Con- necticut, having been elected rector of Christ Church, and he was occupying this important post when he was chosen Bishop of the Diocese of Rhode Island, and rector of Grace Church, Providence.


105


He was consecrated to the Episcopate in Grace Church, Providence, December 6, 1854.

CANON XIII, OF 1856.


" Of removal of Communicants from one Parish to another.


" A communicant removing from one parish to another, shall procure from the rector (if any) of the parish of his last residence, or if there be no rector from one of the wardens, a certificate, stating that he or she is a communi- cant in good standing; and the rector of the parish or congregation to which he or she removes, shall not be re- quired to receive him or her as a communicant until such letter be produced."]
