He also administered in the forenoon the com- munion of the Lord's supper. On the 16th he re- cords, " Elizabeth (his daughter) and Mr. Goodnoe arrived Saturday morning, and were at church."
On the 23rd he says: "Rev. Mr. Scott lectured on the present condition and life in the church of England." On Christmas morning he preached, and was assisted in the holy communion by Rev. Mr. Randolph, Rev. Mr. Wharton, and Rev. Mr. Kep- ler.

HISTORY OF THE
On the 6th of January the Rev. F. M. Baker read the service, and assisted him in the holy com- munion. In afternoon, he says, "I stayed at home, my eyes being very sore. Mr. Fisher read the ser- vice."
"January 13th, I preached morning and after- noon, and Mr. John Tyler read the service."
" January 20th, In afternoon Rev. Mr. Roller, of Hanover, preached, and the collection taken up was for his church at Hanover Junction."
On the third of February he preached in the forenoon, and was assisted by Rev. Mr. F. M. Ba- ker, who read the service, and also assisted in the holy communion. In afternoon, he also says, " Baptized Philip Rham Carlton, and catechised the children, and Mr. Peterkin and myself made ad- dresses."
" February 10: Morning exchanged with Rev. Mr. Pike Powers, and in the afternoon I preached on the death and burial of Moses, Duet. xxxiv. 1-5 and 6 verses."
This was the last sermon he preached in the church. His usual Wednesday afternoon lecture and service was held in the Sunday-school room, (13th,) and after it was over, he went to the "Re- treat for the Sick," very near the church, and paid a pastoral visit to a very ill lady. From there he paid another visit to a neighbor and vestryman of his church, and returned home at bed time.
The next morning, (Thursday, February 14,) after his usual family prayers and breakfast, he told

Mrs. Woodbridge, as the weather was raw and damp, and not feeling well, he would not go out; but retired to his chamber, and while sitting in his rocking-chair reading a newspaper, his head fell back, and his speech left him, so soon that when he was placed upon his lounge, life was extinct.
Thus quietly did the Rev. George Woodbridge, D. D., the faithful rector of the Monumental Church, in the seventy-fourth year of his age, pass from earth to heaven, having fulfilled his duty as a husband, father, pastor, and friend, as faithfully as human effort could avail; and his memory will long be cherished by those who knew him best and loved him most.
On the afternoon of his death the vestry held a meeting, and appointed a committee to draw up ap- propriate resolutions, and to convene again on Fri- day, the 15th, for the purpose of arranging the funeral services at the church and the burial at Hollywood cemetery, on Saturday afternoon, the 16th.
Accordingly, a crowded and weeping congrega- tion attended and followed his remains to their last resting place; the burial service being read by Rev. Dr. Peterkin, of St. James Church. The proceed- ings of the vestry on this mournful occasion will be found faithfully recorded on pages 383-'5 of this his- tory.

HISTORY OF THE
The following tribute was written during the len- ten days of 1878, by Mrs. A. M. Chalmers, now of Washington city, and one among Dr. Woodbridge's oldest and warmest friends. By the request of the compiler of this book she has kindly consented to allow its publication with the record connected with his ministry in the history of the Monumental Church :
" THE LATE REV. DR. GEORGE WOODBRIDGE, "In Jesu Obdormivit.
"Some weeks have gone by since this venerable man of God was gently removed from his work on earth to the excellent rest of paradise. In a mo- ment, in the twinkling of an eye, the silver cord was loosed from the uncertain tenure of things tem- poral, and rivetted to the immutable throne of God. The summons was sudden and startling to all but himself; as far as our poor human vision goes, he was 'ready to be offered,' and the time of his depar- ture the best for him. He had no need to put his- mind in a fresh attitude, for it had been for years his effort to maintain the 'mind that was in Christ Jesus,' and to 'sit loose to the things of time;' and there seems a peculiar fitness and beauty in the manner of his removal. His three-score and thir- teen years serenely ended ; his 'eye not dim, nor his natural force abated;' his step yet light and free; his smile perhaps more sweet and tender with ad- vancing age; his voice only tremulous with kind emotion ; his heart alive, and his hands busy in his

Master's service, he gently 'fell on sleep,' without one murmur, groan, or struggle.
"He had closed the duties of the day before by a visit and prayer with the sick in a hospital, and then returned to his quiet home. The family prayer was said, and then, as it proved, the last ' good night.' He laid himself down in peace and slept, for the Lord sustained him; he awoke to bless His holy name, and again to meet his household at the domes- tic altar; again to sit at table once more with his loved ones, and then, quietly resting in his chair be- side those nearest and dearest, he was called to join the celestial banquet, and to taste the food that nourisheth to everlasting life. He died on Thurs- day morning. His sermon on the preceding Sunday was upon the 'burial of Moses,' in which he quoted the beautiful lines, ' On Nebo's lofty mountain." The few intervening days were spent in active par- ochial duty, and the last night at a sufferer's sick bed. On his study table lay the unfinished manu- script sermon for the next Lord's day, the ink hardly dry, when he was called to a higher ministry and eternal reward.
" We come not now to refer to Dr. Woodbridge as. a sound theological scholar and successful preacher, nor to allude to his true anglican churchmanship, to his studious habits, his steady industry, and faithful devotion as an honored member of all the leading societies of our church ; these have been and will be- depicted by able pens, and recorded in the history of his clerical life; but we ask the privilege to note
444
HISTORY OF THE
a few of the characteristics that made him, in our estimation, a pastor to be imitated by all who enter the holy service. We were honored by his friend- ship for nearly forty years, and can say of him, as a friend once said of Archbishop Leighton, 'In all that period we never heard him utter an impatient word, or saw in him any temper of mind unbecoming one whose office it was to lead the sacramental hosts of God's elect.' We have seen him in almost all the varied circumstances of pastoral life; amid scenes of sorrow and severe affliction, in anxiety and per- plexity and distress, in prosperity and adversity, ' beside the bed where parting life was laid,' and at the marriage festival, and we have seen him always the same-uniformly gentle in word, in conversation, always ready to rejoice with those who rejoice, and with an ever-present sympathy for those called to weep, never for a moment forgetting his high office as a son of consolation, but exercising it with the most tender consideration and thoughtful care.
"A striking characteristic of this good man was that prudence which has well been called ' wisdom's root.' He never 'spake unadvisedly with his lips,' and his watchfulness and self-restraint were very remarkable. Among his people the confidence in and respect for him were so absolute that his coun- sel and advice were constantly asked on various sub- jects. Here his prudent habit was most conspicuous, and marked each cautious word and carefully formed opinion, and led him to judge fairly and with even justice.
445
MONUMENTAL CHURCH.
"With this prudence was united a 'charity that never faileth.' It led him always to put the kindest construction possible on the conduct and views of others; but he never failed, when necessary, to 're- prove' as well as 'exhort,' and this duty was ex- ercised with a mingled, stern sense of right, and a tender sympathy which made it most effectual. And who can forget the courtesy that was unfading. It was in strict obedience to the injunction of St. Peter, ' Be courteous,' and was carried out in every act of his life, to the gentle and simple, the learned and influential, the poor servant or the penniless orphan. It was shown in his prompt hospitality in entertain- ing strangers, whom he sought out and made wel- come, and in his own gracious and grateful ap- preciation of any favor extended to himself.
"Another elevated trait of a character so sym- metrical was the patient and silent endurance of any wrong towards himself, or of such misconstruction as must sometimes arise in a sinful world. He never resented, seldom explained, but quietly waited for time and truth to vindicate his course.
"To these higher qualities were added a marked exactness in the fulfilment of the smallest duty-a punctuality that was refreshing in the midst of this world of careless sense of obligation, and a fidelity 'in that which was least' which continued to the last evening of his life. With truth, entire truth, can we quote the poet's words-
446
HISTORY OF THE
' And at his duty prompt at every call, He watched, he wept, he prayed, he felt for all.'
"Such were some of the characteristics that caused Dr. Woodbridge to be so widely useful and deeply loved. It was in the office of pastor,
' The like of whom, If multiplied, and in their stations set, Would o'er the bosom of a joyful land Spread true religion ;
and the light of whose teachings, and the beauty of whose example, will long remain to guide those by whom he was so deeply loved and so truly mourned.
" Soldier of Christ, well done! 'The weapons of your warfare were not carnal,' and you never grounded your arms until you heard the great Cap- tain's voice, 'Come up higher.' A. M. C."
VALEDICTORY.
WITH the exception of an appendix, containing in- fant and adult baptisms, confirmations, marriages and deaths, during the period of Dr. Woodbridge's charge of the Monumental Church, with a list of communicants from his parochial record to 14th February, 1878, my compiled history and reminis- cences of that church are now brought to a close, and with it, some thoughts and grateful feelings which I desire to express for the ready and kind re- sponse of friends who have subscribed to my book, and to that extent enabled me to undertake its pub- lication.
From first to last, it has occupied about sixteen months, to obtain subscribers and finish my record ; and while it has of necessity been confining and a little laborious, yet it has been a "labor of love," as well as of deep interest and solicitude for its success.
And here I think it necessary to make some apol- ogy for its size being beyond that which I had ex-

pected and promised it should be when soliciting its patronage for publication, especially as to the matter connected more directly with the church at large in our diocese, and not directly so with the Monumental.
Eighteen years ago many baptized members of our church (as well as other churches) were then too young fully to comprehend the political as well as ecclesiastical position of our State and church, es- pecially so from 1861 to 1865, (the period of four years' civil war.)
While the history of that time, in which our church was so deeply interested, has been faithfully placed among the annual records of our church councils, many who were then too young have now advanced to manhood, and who have never read, or perhaps heard, what our bishops and other clergy and lay- men had to say at that deeply grave and interesting period. Now to place before such, in connection with the more direct history of the Monumental Church, for their study as well as historical informa- tion, is my chief apology for the enlargement of my book. All that matter should be read by old as well as young, and I trust it will be, and to a profitable result.
My book is a serious one. It is ushered in with serious-very serious-matter, and it closes with an

equal serious subject: the departure of one under whose gospel preaching and ministry I, and many others who still survive him, have sat for forty-three years. Eternity alone will reveal to us now alive how far his counsel, and that of others who preceded him as the messengers of Jesus Christ, combined with the worship we have been privileged to enjoy under that sacred roof, have made us "wise unto salvation."
