By 1735 this congregation under Mr. Cathcart's ministry seems to have been well established and well known not only among the colonies but across the seas. For in that year it was that the Rev. Dr. Isaac Watts, of London, presented to the congregation and its ministers along with a copy of his Book of Hymns the precious folio volume of Richard Baxter's Christian Directory, which although much worn and torn by age has survived the waste of years and is still the treasured possession of the church. On the fly-leaf of the old volume presumably in Dr. Watt's own handwritting is the folowing in- scription:
"This Book, called Mr. Baxter's Directory, was given by ye Reverened Dr. Watts, of London, to ye Protestant Dissenting Congregation usually as- sembling at Middletown in Pennsylvania, that people who come from far and spend the whole day there may have something proper to entertaintain themselves with, or to read to one another between the seasons of worship, morning and afternoon; and 'tis for this end entrusted to ye care of ye Pro- testant Dissenting Minister who preaches there, and to his successors, to be used by him or them in their weekly studys when they please, and to be secured and devoted to the use of ye congregation on ye Lord's days.
Jan'y 30th, 1735-6.
"The Book is committeed to the care of Mr. Benj. Hawley to be carried over to Pennsylvania, and after he has kept it in his own hands and made the best use of it for six months, that is, till the 30th of July next, he shall de- liver it to the hands of the present Protestant Dissenting Minister for the purposes before mentioned."
Mr. John P. Crozer speaking of old Middletown under date of October 4th, 1842, wrote:
"This ancient edifice, truly venerable in appearance, was erected by godly men (he was speaking of the stone building of 1766), who have for three-quarters of a century slept in death. This is one of the oldest places of worship in the whole country and its substantial and venerable walls testify that the yeomanry by whom they were erected were willing to honor God with their substance, and in that day when farm-houses were of the plainest and simplest kind, they were willing to pay for a large and commodious edifice, and dedicate it to the worship of Almighty God."
And it may be added that among the yeomanry of that day to whom Mr. Crozer refers, noble men indeed all of them, were the Linsdays who, hav- ing built their own brick house in Aston in 1755, like David in his house of cedar, could not rest satisfied to live in their substantial home without their utmost diligence to secure a suitable stone structure for the worship of Almighty God such as they and their compeers erected in 1766. The Lind- say house it still standing, and in the gable end you may see the marble tablet bearing the date.

It is credibly stated that George Whitefield the great evangelist, the Moody and Sunday of his day, preached here to a congregation of some thou- sands assembled in 1741.
The humble grave of Rev. John Smith in the church yard is worthy of mention. He was an occasional supply here from 1817 and became founder and first pastor of the old Blue Meeting-house, now extinct, and has the honorable distinction of having been the first minister in Delaware county to preach against the evils of intemperance. In this Dr. Dale became his lineal and effective successor, pioneers in the great Prohibition Amendment which has now been happily written into the National Constitution.
Worthy of mention also is the grave of Isaac Snowden, Esquire, which lies in the yard immediately to the rear cf the pulpit end of church, the in- scription of which is the most classic epitaph in its purity of style and chaste eulogy to be found anywhere. It justifies its transcription in full here.
Saered to the Memory of ISAAC SNOWDEN, Esqr., Late of Philadelphia Who departed this life Dee'r 26,- 1809 In his 78th year.
Thro a long. various and active life
The approbation of his God, predominant
Over every earthly motive, government his heart
And stamped its seal visibly on every action.
A sineere and humble diseinle of Christ
He diffused wherever he apne' red the savious of piety.
Directed by this Heaven-born principle.
He was enabled to sustain the various relations of life With distinguished honor.
In publie life as Treasurer for many years
Of the eity and County of Philadelphia
He was inflexibly honest and punetual;
In his private walk and social duties full of charity and zeal, Of Church judicatories a constant and useful member,
In the patronage and direction of institution of learning
And benevolenee active. prompt and liberal;
To the ministers of Jesus he was ever most : ffeetionately devoted For the prosperity of Zion and glory of God lay nearest his heart, This was his supreme, his master passion.
He was an excellent husband and friend,
And a most zealous lover of his country.
To his children his tenderness knew no bounds,
And this strong and ardent affection being at onee sanetified and blest He enjoyed the singular felieity of seeing four of his sons
Enter the sacred desk and proclaim the triumphs of the Cross. Living with his son* the pastor of this ehureh
To the ereetion of which he had largely contributed
By his own desire his body is here deposited and in
The fullest assurance of a Glorious Resurrection.
"For me to live is Christ, To die is gain." Rev. Nathaniel Rudolph Snowden.
A marked token of God's favor to Old Middletown and the evidence of the devotion of her neonle is the fact that she has been a church of iong and faithful pastorates. Her ministers have loved to stay and she has loved to have them stay. For the past seventy-five years she has had but three pas- tors of whom the present pastor continues the third in the succession.
The church here as Jerusalem of old is beautiful for situation, standing on this hill-top whence in all directions the eye sweeps a surrounding coun- try rich in the variety of its beauty and enterprise, overlooking Media, Ches- ter City, and the Delaware river whose channel may be traced as a band of burnished silver in the morning sunlight, and at nightfall you may clearly discern on the face of the sky the reflected lights of Philadelphia and Wilming-
15
ton. Altogether in itself and in its history, in its memories sacred and in- spiring, a beautiful and consecrated spot. Surely her founders chose wisely and well, believing as they most surely did in giving the best of the land to the Lord. Here for two hundred years the people of God have gathered, praised and prayed, have worshipped and served, hoped and rejoiced and buried; and here they gather still on this hill of Ged as noble a band of loyal servants of Jesus Christ with at least some realization that their heritage is glorious as they remember the days of old when this was the only Presby- terian church for twenty and thirty miles the country around, and when from yonder old "Presbyterian Ford" and along the saddle-paths, from far and near, "the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony cf Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord."
From out the whole history of these two hundred years one is force- fully impressed with the thought that God has always had a faithful people at Old Middletown. May they ever continue faithful and loyal until the King and the Kingdom come, Amen and Amen.

Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the Middletown Presbyterian Church
Thirty years ago, January, 1890, this society of the church was organized by our present pastor's wife, Mrs. Wm. Tenton Kruse, our president.
The missionary work of the society includes both the foreign and the home mission work as has been staated, and in these years much good has been accomplished in these fields.
Through the interest of Mrs. Charles S. Welles, our faithful member from the beginning of the organization of this society, the members have contri- buted regularly to Medical Missions, this most important work on the Foreign Field.
Our Home Mission work has been devoted chiefly to the making of shirts for the Indian boys of Tucson School, Arizona.
The society has purchased the material, made and sent during the thirty years between eight and nine hundred shirts.
We have always been interested in the mountaineers of the South.
During the past few years we have contributed to the Christian Ameri- canization work in Chester. We have subscribed to magazines in both branches of the work, and met all our demands.
When the Missionary Society was organized by Mrs. Kruse it numbered twenty faithful women. Throughout the years the number has not varied to any great extent.
As some were called by their Heavenly Father, and others removed from

the community, new members were added to the role until today we have twenty-eight members.
Throughout all these thirty years we have had but one president, Mrs. Kruse, who by her beautiful Christian character has guided us through the years so wisely and well.
The following noble and devoted women have been officers.
Vice Presidents-Madam Welles, (dec'd), and Mrs. Thomas Pancoast, (dec'd).
The present Vice-president is Mrs. Jas. W. Howarth, who is also a charter inember. The treasurers have been :- Mrs. L. S. Kelley, Mrs. Susanna Fair- lamb, (dec'd), Mrs. Chas. S. Welles, (dec'd). Mrs. D. Wilmot Godon is the present treasurer. Those who have held the of secretary were-Mrs. Chas. S. Welles, (dec'd). Miss Carrie Stringfellow, Mrs. Fred Snyder. Mrs. J.

Mrs. D. Wilmot Godon is the present treasurer.
Those who have held the office of secretary were-Mrs. Chas. S. Welles, (dec'd).
Miss Carrie Stringfellow, Mrs. Fred Snyder. Mrs. J. Atwood Cobourn is the present secretary.
The first Thursday of each month, except June, July and August, is the day on which the society meets, and we members of to-day look forward to that date just as eagerly as did those members in 1890! All-day meetings are held; the morning being devoted to sewing, the afternoon to the business and religious meeting.
And then the delightful noon-day meal with its splendid food and good fellowship has always been a most interesting feature!
With but very few exceptions, the meetings have always been held at the parsonage. Here the members for thirty years have been most cordially welcomed. What a record of faithfulness and love.
Of our President we all say;
"None know her but to love her, None name here but to praise."
As we look in retrospect over these years we think of our delightful meetings; the hearts we have made happy and the burdens lightened; and above all we thank our Heavenly Father for his care and benignant love to us all.

Secretary.
The Girl's Perseverance Band
Under the leadership of Mrs. Wm. T. Kruse, a missionary society for girls was organized June 22, 1892. The following were enrolled as charter mem- bers :- Mrs. Kruse, President, Mary A. Howarth, Ella B. Carter, Agnes Mc- Granaham, Susie H. Welles, Nettie M. Reed, Bertie Fairlamb, Louise Kruse, Karlena Kruse, Grace Schofield, M. Lena Bonsall, Cora Thomas, Bertie Van- Leer.
Mrs. Kruse continued to be its most efficient and faithful president until the band temporarily disbanded in 1918.
This organization sent to Home and Foreign Missionary work in these years $620.01. The Sitka school in Alaska and the mission school in Canton, China, were always remembered by a pledged sum. Other interests received their share also. In later years a sum was always given to assist the Italian work in our vicinity.
26
We hope that some one may be raised up to renew the activites of this so- ciety which meant so much to those who were privileged to attend its meet- ings and participate in the work.
The Young Men's Band
The Young Men's Band was organized in the year 1894 by Mrs. Charles S. Welles, who was its faithful President and leader for nineteen years. On account of the death of Mr. Welles she moved to Swarthmore and Mrs. John A. Yarnall, succeeded her as president in 1913. During these twenty-six years an average of ten meetings have been held each year, with an average attendance of six to eight boys.
The charter members were :- Mr. John A. Yarnall, trea urer, Mr. J. Harry Fairlamb, secretary, Mr. Walter Carter, Mr. Thomas Schofield, Mr. Henry M. Jones, Mr. Edmund Jones, Jr., Mr. Charles C. Welles, Mr. J. Oscar Howarth, Mr. Amos M. Carter, Mr. John P. Houston, Mr. Thomas J. Smith, Mr. Marion Fairlamb, Miss Louise Ives Welles.
The members of the Band to-day are :- Mr. Amos M. Carter, Mr. L. Newton Durboraw, secretary, Mr. Chester Anderson, Mr. Willis Durboraw, Jack Yarnall, Stanley Shields, Kessic Shields, Charles Moore, Lemuel Moore, Clarence Bonsall, John Babb, Russell Albright, Mrs. Wm. T. Kruse.
During these twenty-six years $728.05 has been sent to Home and Foreign Missions to help send the gospel to all the world. This year, 1920, in con- nection with the 50th Jubilee Anniversary of the Woman's Missionary Society our Band had its share in the Young People's work which was to build a wall around True Light Seminary, Canton, China. We pray for more members and even a better financial report in the next twenty-six years for this Band. MRS. JOHN A. YARNALL, President and Treasurer.

The Christian Endeavor Society
The Christian Endeavor Society was organized through the leadership of the pastor, Rev. Wm. T. Kruse, on October 25, 1891. The following were en- rolled as charter members. Active members :-- Wm. T. Kruse, Charles S. Welles, Mary J. McIntyre, Mary S. Carter, Mary A. Wells, Samuel Hannum, Joshua C. Carter, Wm. G. Vanleer, Mary E. Patterson, Stanfieid Yarnall, Mary H. Williams, Amy A. VanLeer, Anna M. Hannum. Associate mem-
bers :- Ellwood Carr, Francis R. Kelley, Mary Surlily.
Through the years it has had scores of the young people of the church and community enlisted among its active members. The following have served as presidents: The pastor, Rev. Mr. Kruse, Mr. Jas. W. Howarth, Elder Wm, G. VanLeer, Elder Charles S. Welles, Mr. John A. Yarnall, Mr. Charles W. Viguers, Mr. James Alexander, Mr. Martin Longenecker, Elder Norman D. Maddock. The following have served as secretaries: Mrs. Charles S. Welles, Miss Susie H. Welles, Miss Lillie M. Smith, now Mrs. John A. Yarnall, Miss Ida M. Southard, Miss Ella B. Carter, Miss Martha Dur- boraw, Miss Clara Stringfellow, Miss E. Louise Kruse, Miss Karlena Kruse, Miss Susie C. Williams.
The missionary interest and offering each month has been a feature of the organization from the start.
The service of song has been a glorious chapter in the life of the society.
It would take a volume to record the testimony of the lives of those who have been enriched and blessed and trained in christian service by its ministry through the years and who as preachers and elders and superintendents and christian workers have gone forth into life's work.
