Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the First Presbyterian Church at Plainfield, New Jersey The Village of Plainfield consisted of only sixty scattered buildings then. There was a stream of rather generous propor tions that made its way from the Scotch Plains notch through the watercourse that is now not much more than a trickling rivulet, by comparison, and which we misname Green Brook. But then it broadened out into a pond that served to store up water power for a grist mill now between Watching Avenue and Somerset Street. This site was surrounded almost entirely by a grove of stately chestnut, oak and elm trees, save for a mossy place where the farmers of the country-side brought their grain to be ground into flour.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the First Presbyterian Church, Urbana, Illinois, 1856-1931 As part of the Centennial Year observation, therefore, a supplement to Dean Clark's history has been prepared. It is based upon the contributions of a number of persons, so that no one or two authors can claim it; nor, by the same token, can they be blamed for omissions which are inevitable or for errors which are probable! It is by no means a complete history. Rather, it but summarizes the outstanding incidents and achievements, those that are believed to be of the greatest interest and importance. It leaves out a thousand personal details that might be included - humorous, sad, inspiring, endearing. These will remain unwritten history, by no means unimportant to those who cherish them in their memories.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Life and Work of the First Presbyterian Church: Of Middletown, Ohio (Dayton Presbytery), From Its Foundation in 1819 to 1919 Can you imagine now for just a few minutes that you are living one hundred years ago? In other words, can you put yourself in the position of the few men and women who came from the New Jersey Church, at Carlisle, and Dicks Creek Church, near Blue Ball, to organize the First Presbyterian Church of Middletown - our church? Can you think of our beautiful, prosperous, happy city being a little hamlet, with not over three hundred citizens, with one small school house and two struggling churches? You must know nothing of the good roads, of the railroads, or even of the canal. You will have to make your journeys on foot or on horseback. You must know nothing of the daily newspaper. Only occasionally you will see a new pamphlet or a new book. You must think differently, dress differently, work differently, be entertained differently, than is your present custom. But you have at least one thing in common with those men and women of one hundred years ago - you can love God. and worship Him, the same as did they, and so may have the same interest in His Church. The first part of our story was written fifty years ago by Rev. Joshua L.Russell, who was the pastor of our Church at that time, and was read by him at the semi-centennial of the Church in 1870. He, no doubt, had talked with some of the founders of the Church and those who had labored for its welfare for years. This History of the First Fifty Years of the First Presbyterian Church of Middletown, Ohio, as Mr. Russell entitles it, is printed here just as it appears in the manuscript from which he read except that a few paragraphs have been added so as not to cause a break in the account of the ministry of Mr. Russell who served in the Church for about two years after the semi-centennial celebration. His manuscript is still in the possession of the Church. The writing is notably neat and legible. The ink scenes to have faded little, if any, and the paper is only slightly discolored. The story as told by Mr. Russell follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of the First Presbyterian Church of Baltimore: Compiled Under Direction of Its Session and Committee for Publication on Its One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary The year 1761 may be fixed upon with certainty as that of the beginning of the First Presbyterian Church of Baltimore. Rev. Dr. Patrick Allison, its first minister, in his account of "The Rise and Progress of the Presbyterian Church in Baltimore Town," written in 1793 begins as follows: "The advantageous situation of the Town for commerce induced a few Presbyterian Families from Pennsylvania to settle in it about the year 1761 who with, two or three of the same Persuasion, that had emigrated from Europe, soon formed themselves into a religious society, and had occasional supplies, when they assembled in private houses, though the owners were liable to a Prosecution on this account, as the then Province groaned under an unrighteous and irreligious Establishment for the support of which all Denominations were taxed, and the Law required every house of worship, used by Dissenters to be registered and licensed. They proceeded however in this way undisturbed, and soon raised (in 1763) a small wooden building for the more orderly celebration of Divine Service." Baltimore Town was at this time a small place.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the First Presbyterian Church of Carlisle, Pa The First Presbyterian Church of Carlisle had its first place of meeting on the bank of the Conodoguinet about two miles west of the present town. It was then the centre of a large district of country, bounded on the North and South by the ranges of mountains which form the Valley, and on the East and West by the ex tent of the settlements. The most eastern portion Of the Valley does not appear to have been the first settled. About the time the white people began to cross the Susquehanna, the Proprietaries laid off between seven and eight thousand acres of land extending eleven miles from the river, and between the Conodoguinet and the Yellow Breeches Creeks, for a manor on which settlements were Accordingly when this region first became known to the whites, the Indians who occupied it appear to have been principally remnants of several tribes.
