It was during the ministry of Dr. Hermann that the first recorded donation for charitable purposes was given to the congregation. It is thus recorded in the church book : " Anno, 1788, April 6th, Mrs. Catherine Opp, wife of Michael Opp, presented the Reformed Congregation with a gift of Five Pounds. This sum of Five Pounds shall be constantly invested, and the interest derived therefrom shall be used for the German education of a poor child of 52 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. the congregation." Thus early was some regard had for the poor and destitute children (it may be orphans) of the congregation. The removal of Dr. Hermann, was followed again by a vacancy, which continued until August, 1793, when Rev. Dr. Christian Ludwig Becker, father of the Rev. Dr. Jacob Christian Becker, and grandfather of Mr. Thomas H. Becker, at present an elder of this congregation, be- came pastor. Dr. Becker was a man of more than ordi- nary ability and of thorough education, having spent, with great diligence and application, more than twenty years in college and university before he entered upon the duties of the ministry. Moreover, he was a man of extraordi- nary eloquence, " and in preaching was frequently caught up into a most overwhelming overflow of impassioned elo- quence and tender feeling. He would at times sway a congregation as a wind moves a forest of pines, so that the stoutest would bend to the power that breathed upon them." The congregation by whom he was much be- loved, was permitted to enjoy the ministry of this gifted, eloquent and pious father only for a short time. After he had preached here eighteen months, " he received a call from Lancaster, Pa., which, after much reflection and con- siderable reluctance, he at length accepted, and removed from Easton, March, 1795." Dr. Becker was succeeded by Rev. Thomas Pomp, the only son of Rev. Nicholas Pomp, who was one of the four missionaries sent to this country in 1760 by the Reformed Church of Holland. Father Pomp took charge of the congregation in July, 1796, and continued to be its pastor for more than half a century. As there are not a few members of the congregation still living who enjoyed the advantage of sitting under his ministry, I need only say The Organization of the Congregation. 53 that he labored with untiring zeal, universal acceptance, and great success in the congregation, and in the other three associated with it, being so devoted to his holy work that he only ceased from it when compelled to do so by the infirmities of old age. It was during the pastorate of Father Pomp that two great events occurred in the history of the congregation. The first was the remodeling and reconstruction of the church. Up to 1830 the church had been owned and oc- cupied jointly by the Reformed and St. John's Lutheran congregations. In 1831 the Lutheran congregation sep- arated from the Reformed, built a church for themselves and sold their interest in this church to this congregation for $1,600. As soon as the congregation came into sole possession of the church it began to move in the direction of its re- construction. At a meeting of the consistory, held May 23, 1 83 1, committees were appointed to collect money to purchase the Lutheran interest in the church and to recon- struct it. At a congregational meeting held January 2, 1832, Peter Shnyder, Philip Odenwelder and Daniel W. Butz were appointed a committee to whom was intrusted the whole matter of reconstructing the church, and at a meeting held on the 21st of the same month (January) it was resolved to build the steeple on the north side of the church, the whole building being rough-casted, and the building committee were instructed to proceed at once to make contracts for lumber, etc. The con- tract for the work was given to Mr. Clark Lowry, and the building was reconstructed into its present form and all ready except the steeple, for consecration in November, 1832. Accordingly, on Sunday, the 25th of November, 1832, it was reconsecrated with appropriate service. The 54 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Hoffeditz preached the dedicatory sermon, in German, in the morning ; the Rev. Samuel Hess preached, in German, in the afternoon, and Rev. Dr. Bernhard C. Wolff, in English, in the evening. The services were continued during the following Monday, when Rev. Dr. Benjamin S. Schneck preached, in Ger- man, in the morning ; Rev. B. C. Wolff, in English again, in the afternoon, and Rev. Dr. John Gray, of Easton, also in English, in the evening. The steeple was not finished until 1833. The whole cost of the reconstruction was about $25,000. The other important event mentioned as having taken place during Father Pomp's ministry was the introduction of the English language into the services of the congrega- tion. The German was the language in which the wor- ship of the congregation was conducted from the begin- ning of its history, and continued to be so used until 1831. Then there seems to have existed in the congregation a want and demand for some services in English, which Father Pomp and the consistory sought to provide for by the adoption of the following resolution: " Inasmuch as the English language is becoming more and more preva- lent in our country, so that it may be necessary to have English divine services, therefore, it is permitted to have English services on the alternate Sundays, or on the after- noon on which German services are held. Provided that, as the charter requires, the preacher who conducts in Eng- lish services be a member of a German Reformed Synod of the United States, or at least must have his call to this con- gregation confirmed by this Synod." This action, while it indicated progress, was, all things considered, nothing less than revolutionary in its character, and especially the fact that Father Pomp not only did not resist the intro- The Organization of the Congregation. 55 duction of English into the service of the congregation, as many other pastors then did and still do, but was actually the chairman of the committee which offered the resolution making the change and cordially approved of its adoption. This conduct on his part speaks volumes for the liberal and self-sacrificing spirit which so signally characterized his whole relation to the congregation from the beginning to the end. The way being thus opened for the introduction of Eng- lish services, the congregation proceeded to supply its want in this regard, but did not succeed in doing so un- til December 12, 1832, when Rev. Dr. Bernard C. Wolff was elected " as assistant minister, to preach in the Eng- lish language." The call, which in pursuance of this election was extended to Dr. Wolff, was accepted by him, and on Sunday, April 7, 1833, ne preached his introduc- tory sermon. There never were, perhaps, two truer "yoke-fellows," as St. Paul phrases it, associated together in ministerial labor in the same congregation than Father Pomp and Dr. Wolff. Being in a large degree of similar disposition and temperament, amiable, kindly and easy to be entreated ; and being actuated by the same lofty spirit of devotion to their holy work and self-sacrifice in its prosecution, they labored together in peace and harmony, to the great satis- faction and prosperity of the congregation, for a period of about twelve years. In December, 1844, Dr. Wolff received a call from the Third Reformed Church in Baltimore, Md., which he felt constrained to accept. Accordingly he resigned his co- pastorate of this congregation and removed from it in February, 1845. The vacancy this made in the English co-pastorate (Father Pomp still continuing as senior Ger- 5 6 The First Reformed Church of East on, Pa. man pastor) was supplied in April, 1845, by Rev. Dr. J. H. A. Bomberger accepting a call thereto. The work of building up the congregation in temporal and spiritual things continued to be carried forward with marked suc- cess by the two pastors now in charge. Being still of one heart, and one mind, and one purpose, they continued to cooperate, each in his sphere, not only without any fric- tion or embarrassment, but with the most amicable spirit and in complete harmony. It was about this time that one of the most pleasing episodes in Father Pomp's ministry in this congregation occurred. He now had been pastor of the congregation for fifty years. It was happily conceived that this fact was worthy of being commemorated in some special man- ner. The suggestion commended itself to the consistory, who, at a meeting held June 13, 1846, resolved that the semi-centennial anniversary of Father Pomp's pastorate be properly celebrated, and proceeded to make the necessary arrangements to do so. This celebration took place on Sunday, July 19, 1846, in this church, in the presence of a congregation which thronged the building. The ser- vices consisted of a brief statistical report of his labors for fifty years by Father Pomp, and a commemorative sermon by Rev. Henry Bibighaus, of Philadelphia, in German, in the morning ; in the afternoon Rev. Dr. T. L. Hoffeditz and Rev. Dr. J. C. Becker deliver addresses, also in Ger- man, the latter presenting, in the name of the congregation, a beautifully bound copy of the Bible to Father Pomp, who was so overcome by his feelings that he could only respond in the melting language of tears ; in the evening Rev. Dr. B. C. Wolff, former associate pastor, preached an appropriate sermon, of an historical character, in Eng- lish. The whole occasion was one which was as gratify- The Organization of the Congregation. 57 ing to him whom it was designed to honor as it was credit- able to the congregation. But now also shadows began to gather over the pathway of Father Pomp. Not only had old age, with its infirmi- ties, almost imperceptibly crept upon him, but his naturally strong constitution and robust health commenced to suffer from his onerous labors in this and the associated congre- gations of Dryland and Plainfield. He now stood in his place as a tried veteran, whose spirit was still strong and willing, but whose flesh was weak, and growing weaker ; and being no longer able physically to discharge the duties of his holy office to his own satisfaction, he retired from active service April 19, 1850, still retaining, however, his official relation as pastor, with salary. Four years later, in the early morning of April 22, 1852, death gently re- leased him from all his earthly labors and trials, "in the eightieth year of his age, the sixtieth of his ministry, and the fifty-seventh of his pastorate in Easton." During the latter part of Father Pomp's ministry, in 1846, the congregation fell heir to a legacy of $1,000, which had been bequeathed to it by Jacob Arndt, Esq., in 1833 ; the legacy not being available until after the death of his wife and brother Abraham. When Father Pomp withdrew from active service a vacancy was made in the German pastorate. At the urgent request of the consistory, Dr. Bomberger, much against his will, consented to become a candidate therefor, and was unanimously elected. The services in the two languages were thus united in one person, and Dr. Bom- berger became the sole pastor of the congregation, and continued to be such, officiating in both German and Eng- lish languages, with great acceptance to the congregation and with encouraging success, until August, 1854, when, 58 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. having accepted a call to the First Reformed Church of Philadelphia, he resigned and removed to that city. A few facts which occurred during the time of Dr. Bomberger's pastorate are worthy of being noted here. In May, 1850, the congregation received a legacy of $500 from the estate of Mr. David Meixel, which was be- queathed by him on the condition that only the interest thereof be used " to repair and ornament the graveyard of the congregation." In July of the same year The Female Benevolent So- ciety of the congregation received a legacy of $5,000 from the estate of Peter Miller, Esq., the interest of which was to be used by them for the benefit of the poor of the con- gregation and of the Sunday-school. During the fall and winter of the same year the Session Room was built, and during the summer of 1852 the church was frescoed and gas was introduced into it. During the fall and winter of 1852-3 the present par- sonage was built, and thus a new home was provided for the pastors of the congregation, the old parsonage having been sold September 25, 1852. Dr. Bomberger was succeeded in the pastorate of the congregation in September, 1854, by him who is still pastor of it, and the historian of the present occasion (Rev. John Beck). Leaving the estimate of his character and official work to others we will simply mention a few mat- ters which have occurred within the time of his ministry, and which we deem deserving of record in this sketch. In the summer of 1865 the church was repainted, cal cimined and somewhat repaired, and put into the condition and order in which it still is. On July 19, 1869, the congregation received a legacy of ten shares of Phillipsburg Bank Stock from Anthony The Organization of the Congregation. 59 Loudenburg, of Phillipsburg, N. J., to be used for the education of poor young men for the ministry of the Re- formed Church. By the death of the older members of the congregation, and by the prevalence of the English language in the community, the need for the use of the German in the public worship of the congregation grew less and less. At length, after much deliberation, many changes, and great tribulation, the German was entirely discontinued in the fall of 187 1, and since then the public services of wor- ship have been conducted exclusively in the English lan- guage. This one statement more needs to be made to complete this hasty sketch. This church and congregation stood alone in this town and vicinity in 1776. Now one hundred years after, in 1876, at least six additional nourishing con- gregations are existing on the same territory, and this congregation is the mother of them all. And now, as we bring this historical sketch to a close, many earnest thoughts and practical reflections press for utterance ; but we will refrain from giving them record or expression at this time and on this occasion ; neither would we tax your patience any longer. We crave your atten- tion for but one thought more. These old walls, plain though they be, have been hallowed not only by special acts of consecration, but by the praise, and prayer, and worship of a century, and, to the eye of a reverent faith, are studded as thickly with the shining tokens and memo- rials of the divine presence and favor, vouchsafed to the fathers and children of more than three generations, as a dark night is studded with stars. How many faithful souls have been made meet within them by the word and the sacraments for an inheritance among the saints in 60 The First Reformed Church of East on, Pa. light, eternity alone will disclose, and it is inspiring to believe that they, as a cloud of witnesses, are looking down upon us from the heavenly world as we are to-day engaged in these memorial services. But it is not only these walls, with their hallowed associ- ations, that we have inherited from the fathers and founders of this church. They have also transmitted to us and our keeping the more precious legacy of their faith and order, for the maintenance and defence of which they deemed no sacrifice too costly. If on to-day, throughout this broad, fair land, the recital of the heroic deeds of the fathers and founders of our civil order, and of the num- berless temporal and political blessings bestowed upon us as a nation, will stir up in every patriotic heart feelings of profound gratitude, and kindle anew a flame of a holy devotion to the principles of liberty, justice and equality, then surely, inasmuch as spiritual blessings and privileges far transcend in value those which are temporal and civil, the recital thus imperfectly rendered of what the fathers and founders of this church and congregation did and suffered, the priceless spiritual blessings bestowed upon them and us, should not only awaken in our hearts feelings of gratitude to God, which should constrain us to call upon our souls and all the powers within us to praise and bless the Lord, but also impel us here to-day to register the old vow of a whole-soul devotion and love, with a new mean- ing : "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth ; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy." RECENT HISTORY. + ■ * HE long pastorate of the Rev. Dr. John Beck, ~ covering a period of more than a score ofjyears, HHHS ended with his death, April 19, 1877. His death occurred suddenly, during the interval between his resignation as pastor and the date on which it was to take effect, and came as a shock to the congrega- tion and community. His ministry for so many years had been characterized by scholarly ability, a patient and effi- cient fidelity to the welfare of the congregation. Of his ability as a scholar and writer the foregoing most valuable historical sketch is evidence which will long remain, and for which the future will be grateful. Rev. Thomas C. Porter, D.D., was the next pastor, installed August 29, 1877. For a very considerable time he had held a prominent place in the Faculty of Lafayette College, and, though retaining his relations to the college, filled in a faithful, devoted manner a pastorate of seven years, during which time there were many accessions to the church, and an elegant organ, the largest in Easton, was purchased. In the early part of Dr. Porter's term the old volunteer choir was dispensed with and the modern innovation of salaried choristers introduced. Another feature was the inaugurating of early services at Christmas and Easter, which have constantly grown in favor, not only with the congregation, but the general public. An- other change was that the high pulpit, built in 1832, was lowered, after being in use half a century. In 1884, Dr. Porter finding that advancing years prevented the double duties he had been performing since his installa- 61 62 The First Reformed Church of Easlon, Pa. tion, tendered his resignation, which was accepted with considerable regret by the consistory and congregation. In his closing sermon, Dr. Porter, after referring to the very pleasant and cordial relations which had existed be- tween him and his flock, incidentally mentioned that it was twenty-three years previous that he first preached in the church. This was during the session of the Synod of the German Reformed Church, in 1861, when President Lincoln appointed September 26 as a day of fasting and prayer, and Dr. Porter was invited to preach the sermon before the Synod and the congregation. During the years 1867—69, when there were alternate services in German and English, Dr. Porter preached in English in the Ses- sion Room on those Sundays when Dr. Beck held services in German in the church proper. The pastorate of the church having become vacant by the resignation of Rev. Dr. Porter, the Rev. H. M. Kief- fer, pastor for eleven years of the church of the Ascen- sion, Norristown, Pa., was called at a meeting of the congregation held on the evening of August 11, 1884. The newly elected pastor was duly installed on Thursday evening, October 30th, by a committee of East Pennsyl- vania Classis appointed for the purpose, consisting of the Rev. Dr. T. C. Porter, Rev. T. O. Stem and Rev. Dr. D. Y. Heisler, the latter preaching the installation sermon. The new pastor preached his introductory sermon the fol- lowing Sunday morning, November 2, taking as his text, Philippians 1:2, " Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." In the early part of 1885, preparations were made for repairing the church building which had stood without any material change or improvement (with the exception of the lowering of the old pulpit and the purchase of a new pipe Recent History. 63 organ) since the year 1832. The old Third Street Church, so widely known in the community and through- out the Reformed denomination for its open-handed liber- ality, had generously assisted in the erection and improve- ment of many churches and in the relief and support of many poor and struggling congregations, meanwhile al- lowing its own house of worship to suffer from neglect and to present, with the passing years, a somewhat shabby appearance. Loth to affect any very material changes, least of all to alter the ancient and venerable appearance of the building, the congregation still felt that some steps must be taken toward repairing and improving the property. Accordingly a committee was appointed by the consis- tory some time in March, 1885, composed of the following persons : Elders Jacob Rader, William Keller, Henry Young; Messrs. William H. Thompson, Thomas Rinek, Horace S. Bachman (the name of the pastor, Rev. H. M. Kieffer, was subsequently added), to devise a plan of re- pairs and ways and means of securing the needed funds. This committee having secured the services of an architect, John M. Stewart, of Easton, spent many days in the old church, examining walls, floors and timbers, and consid- ering and discussing how best the changes might be made. A plan having at length been adopted, it was concluded to make no canvass of the congregation for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions in the usual way, but to prepare a printed circular, which should set forth the need of the repairs and appeal to the liberality of the people. The Sunday morning previous to the sending out of these cir- culars, viz., on June 21, 1885, the people were publicly advised from the pulpit of the intention of the committee, the pastor preaching a sermon upon the subject of "The Building of the Tabernacle." (Exodus xxxv, 20-22.) 64 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. In the course of a month, or thereabout, the sum of six thousand dollars was secured, the people manifesting a great readiness and cheerfulness in the work. This amount was at first thought sufficient for the changes and improvements contemplated, but it was soon found, as is usual in such cases, that more money would be needed. The church building, as it was before the repairs were begun, presented an appearance somewhat different, both externally and internally, from what the beholder sees it to be at the present day, although the general features of the building remain unaltered. Prior to the repairs, the outer walls were of a pale yellow color. The steeple, as well as all the woodwork, was painted white, and had on it the dial of the town clock, some years ago removed to Zion's German Lutheran Church. The main entrance to the building was by a door on the Third street side, where the vestibule now is. The old woodwork, door posts and doors are there now. There was also another door on Third street, occupying the position of the upper window next Church street. Strictly speaking it was not a door, but served the purpose of both door and window. It has since been converted into a window. On Church street there were four windows, two downstairs and two upstairs, two on either side of the pulpit. These have been closed up. The entrance on the east, or parsonage side, was the same as now. Internally the changes were more marked than on the exterior. Passing into the church, as it was before the repairs, one observed, as he entered the vestibule, two box stairways leading to the galleries. He noticed that the ceiling of the vestibule was low and somewhat cramped in appearance by the projection into it of an old "bellows gallery" used in former times for the organ, but since Recent History. 65 fallen into disuse except as a lumber room. Where the two large arches now are, two doors of ordinary size opened into the central part of the vestibule. The en- trances from the vestibule into the audience room were located at the same places as now, except that the side doors have been moved further toward the wall and the inner jambs sloped where they were at right angles before. There were six rows of pews instead of four, as at present, with three aisles separating them, the central aisle being where it is now, and the side aisles not being along the walls but separated from them by a row or tier of short pews. The old pews, indeed, were all short, all being of the same length. They contained three, or at the most four, sittings. They were low in the back, narrow in the seat, and very close together, and were generally con- sidered models of discomfort. After the fashion prevail- ing in old-time churches, the pews were box pews, being furnished with doors. The pews, as well as the galleries and woodwork generally, were painted a pure white, the walls being a plain gray color. The pulpit was a massive structure of mahogany. There was no recess, chancel rail or font. The windows were of ordinary or clear glass, and were furnished with "Venetian blinds." The posts under the galleries were heavy wooden affairs, which somewhat obstructed the view. These facts are here men- tioned, somewhat hastily, it is true, as being of some pos- sible interest in the future. The changes and repairs were actually commenced on the 22d day of July, 1885. What they consisted of may, perhaps, be best seen by comparing the above statement with the present appearance of the building. It may, however, be well to mention in a general way that the re- pairs were chiefly as follows : pulpit recess on Church 5 66 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. street; outer vestibule on Third street; changes and new stairways in inner vestibule ; new doors from the vestibule to the main audience room ; new floors upstairs and down ; new pews, with upholstering ; new gas fixtures ; chancel rail ; pulpit furniture ; stained glass windows (nine of these, or all on the first floor, being memorial windows) ; fresco- ing all the walls ; lowering the gallery fronts eight inches ; rearranging the gallery entrances and floors ; new pews in the galleries. The outer walls were repainted, the color being changed from a pale yellow to a stone gray. The roof was repaired ; new spouting was put up ; the ball and vane on the steeple taken down and regilded. It may be of interest to record that the old tin spouting had done constant service since 1832, that is for a period of fifty- three years ; and that Mr. Lewis Heller (at present in the employ of Mr. Daniel Black), when he was a young man, made the old spouting, and had the singular fortune also, when he was an old man, to help make the new. Nine memorial windows were erected to the memory of those who years ago or recently were active in the church work, and they are as follows : By Mrs. John Eyerman, to the memory of James and Mary Black, her father and mother. By Mrs. Mary Saylor, of Germantown, to the memory of Judge George Hess, her father. By Mrs. Charles Santee, of Philadelphia, to the memory of Peter and Elizabeth Shnyder, her father and mother. By. Mrs. William Lawall and her daughter Lillian, to the memory of William H. Lawall. By Miss Mary Mixsell, Mrs. Major Wykoff, Mr. C. Jacob Mixsell, and Mrs. Dr. Lalor, to the memory of their father and mother, Charles W. and Mary K. Mixsell. Recent History. 67 By Mrs. John Hutchinson, to the memory of her mother, Elizabeth Nicholas, and her family. By the Sunday-schools of the congregation, to the memory of Rev. John Beck, D.D., former pastor of the church. By private persons, to the memory of the Rev. Thomas Pomp and the Rev. Dr. Bernard Wolff, also former pastors of the church. The entire cost of these repairs and memorial windows was about $12,000, and the work has been thoroughly done. Willing minds gave their opinions ; loving care for the ancient structure preserved it almost entirely intact ; skill- ful hands directed the various changes, and earnest com- mitteemen lent months of time to the tiresome, tedious, troublesome task. But at last the work was done, and the old walls without and within, save as to color, are the same. They still reecho, though too faint for ear to dis- cern, the stirring eloquence, the pathetic appeals, the solemn warnings, the tender solicitude of the pastors who have long ago lain down in their graves, sleeping a blessed sleep after a life of devotion to the holy work of saving souls ; the anthems of to-day are reflected by the same boundaries that reverberated the plaintive melodies, the solemn hymns, and the grand old tunes of a hundred years ago. On Sunday morning, February 21, 1886, the Rededi- catory Services began at the usual hour of worship — 10.30 o'clock. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and had there been more seats there would have been numbers of people to occupy them. As the organist played a voluntary, the pastor, Rev. H. M. Kieffer, and the assisting clergymen, Rev. Dr. Thomas G. Apple, 68 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. President of Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster; Rev. Dr. J. Spangler Kieffer, of the Reformed Church, Hagerstown, Md., brother of the pastor; Rev. Dr. Reily, President of the Allentown Female College ; Rev. Thomas C. Porter, D.D., of Lafayette College, the recently es- teemed pastor of the church ; Rev. T. O. Stem, pastor of St. Mark's Reformed Church; Rev. D. Y. Heisler, D.D., pastor of Grace Reformed Church, all of Easton, entered and assumed places in the pulpit. It was an imposing scene. Dr. Apple occupied the principal seat in the alcove, with Rev. Dr. Kieffer on his left and Rev. Dr. Reily on his right. Dr. Porter occupied the seat at the reading desk ; Rev. Stem opposite, while Dr. Heisler and Rev. H. M. Kieffer were seated near the foot of the pulpit steps. An anthem by the choir was followed by a prayer by Dr. Porter, who also read the scripture lesson and an- nounced the hymn. The collection and anthem were next on the program, and then Dr. Apple arose and delivered his Rededicatory Sermon, taking his text from Psalms LXXXIV:i, "How amiable are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts." The sermon in the evening was preached by the Rev. Dr. J. Spangler Kieffer, of Hagerstown, Md., the brother of the pastor, taking for his text Colossians i : 10, " Increas- ing in the Knowledge of God." For the above account of the recent history of the con- gregation we are indebted to the interesting sketch pre- pared by the editor of the Easton Free Press, Mr. C. N. Andrews, and afterward published in pamphlet form. It may also be worthy of note here that a very worthy elder of the congregation, Colonel Peter Kichline com- manded a company of troops from Easton during the Revolution, and with his men as sharpshooters rendered Recent History. 69 most valiant service to Washington's forces at the disas- trous battle of Long Island. They covered the retreat of the Continental forces, and saved the army from capture. Colonel Kichline had taken much interest in the erec- tion of the new church, but before it was completed he marched away with his men to Washington's camps, and saw it finished for the first time when, after the battle above named, he brought his sick and wounded men to Easton, and found a comfortable shelter for them in the new church building. Another event of interest connected with this old church is the fact that, in October, 1779, when Sullivan's army re- turned from its long march against the Western Indians in the Genesee Country in New York State, and reached Easton in October of that year, Chaplain Evans of the New Hampshire Brigade, by special appointment, preached a sermon in the church to the soldiers of the expedition.

THE OLD ORGAN AND ITS SUCCESSORS. I "U^ lOR the benefit of those who are to come after, some L *• J of whom will undoubtedly be grateful for the lltWlil information here given, it may be well to give some account of the musical instruments used in this historic church. Some of the facts here given have been but very recently ascertained, and are known to few if any of the members of the congregation. It may seem strange that, at such an early period in the history of the Forks of the Delaware, when the settlers were both poor and few in number, they should undertake the building of a church of such considerable proportions and involving such an outlay of money. But it must be remembered that these poor Germans were pious people. With them religion and the church were first. It is re- markable, also, that no sooner was the church built than an organ was purchased and duly installed in the organ loft. For the German loved music — music and religion were, to his mind inseparable, and a church without an organ was inconceivable. So, no sooner was the church finished than the organ appeared, as we know from the fact that when the Indian Treaty was held in 1777, the organ was played during the friendly handshaking and rum-drinking, according to the record. The organ was built, we are informed, by one Dannaker, in 1775. What has become of this organ? We were always under the impression that it had long since been consigned to the junk-shop or the ash-barrel, such being the fate, un- fortunately, of many of our priceless antiquities. But, lo ! 70 The Old Organ and its Successors. 71 while engaged in this writing I am informed that the church at Plainfield, once and for many years served by the pastors of the church in Easton, was about to hold a rededication of their church organ, which they had lately enlarged and improved ; also, that the organ in question is the original instrument used in the Easton church, having been purchased by the Plainfield congregation in 1833. In connection with which statement I am asked to give the people of Plainfield any information I may possess con- cerning their old organ. " Who was the builder, and when was it built? Was it played at the Indian Treaty of 1777?" To which interrogatories a full and courteous response was given, with the request that it be read at the rededication of the venerable organ, now one hundred and twenty-five years old. That was the original organ. It was sold to the Plain- field church in 1833, and a new organ purchased, which in its turn was in constant use for half a century, yielding its place about the year 1880 to the very excellent instru- ment now in use. One can only regret the loss of some of these old things. May we not hope that some day the old organ may come back to this church? There is room for it in the Session Room, or Chapel — if indeed the Plainfield people will ever graciously part with it out of regard for the congre- gation to which it once belonged. THE CHANGE IN THE NAME OF THE CHURCH. THE original name of the congregation was " The German Reformed Congregation of Easton." By this name it was commonly and popularly known from the beginning of its history, and by this "name, style and title" it was legally and formally denominated in its original charter granted in the year 1808. In the course of time, however, some change in the name of the congregation began to appear necessary. The reasons for such a change are herewith given : I. The name "German" was no longer suitable: first, because this word was by due authority of the Synod dropped from the official and legal name of the denomina- tion as a whole, which since 1866 was known as "The Reformed Church in the United States," and not "The German Reformed Church in the United States " as for- merly. To retain the name, " German," for the congrega- tion after it had been dropped by the denomination seemed incongruous. Then, too, the congregation had long ceased to be Ger- man. From the date of its organization until the year 1833, when the first English pastor was installed, all the services of the church had been held in the German tongue. From that date onward the German began to decline and the English to strengthen, good old "Father Pomp," the German minister, saying to Dr. Wolff his English assistant — "you must increase but I must decrease." German services, however, still continued to be held, at first in the morning, afterward in the afternoon, until toward the close of the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Beck. But the German 72 X o 05 D X o a w 2 o tL H 01 05 tu. x H U. O 05 O 05 u H Z The Change in the Name of the Church. 73 services were but poorly attended, and were maintained for years merely out of a tender regard for the preferences of the older and declining portion of the congregation. In the course of time the old people who were attached to the German had almost entirely passed away, and German ceased to be used. This was in the year 187 1. From that date onward all the services of the church were in the English tongue, and to continue calling the congregation " German" when it was no longer so, was plainly inap- propriate and often misleading to the general public. Furthermore — when this congregation was organized there was but this one Reformed church in Easton — since then four other Reformed churches having been estab- lished, the original name of the congregation ceased to be distinctive. And this difficulty was still further intensified by the establishment of a Dutch Reformed Church on Spring Garden Street. There being then two Reformed churches in Easton and in close proximity to each other, it became necessary to distinguish them, and so, for many years the congregation of which we are writing was popu- larly known as "The Third Street Reformed Church." This name it retained for more than thirty years, being known by one name in law and by another in common usage. This state of things was plainly undesirable, and the necessity for a change became apparent. In order that the change of name might be made in a regular and formal manner, it was thought well to secure an amended charter from the Court of Northampton. A new charter was de- sirable, quite independently of the matter of the name ; and this chiefly for the reason that the old charter was no longer suited, in many important respects, to the changed circumstances of the congregation. Accordingly, after 74 The First Reformed Church of JSaston, Pa. due application regularly made, the Court of Northampton County did, on the eighth day of March in the year 1897 grant the congregation an amended charter whereby its name was changed to that which it presently bears — ' ' The First Reformed Church of Easton." THE CHIME OF BELLS. HE Chime of Bells in the tower of the old church was erected during the opening days of the year 1902, in commemoration of the one hundred and fifty-seventh anniversary of the founding of the congregation. The erection of this chime of bells was the result of an address delivered to the congregation by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Kieffer, on Sunday, November 12, 1899, concerning the propriety of holding a jubilee service at some time in the near future in commemoration of the founding of the congregation about one hundred and fifty years ago. The pastor then suggested the placing of a chime in the tower as a suitable method of marking the sesqui-centennial milestone in the long history of the con- gregation, and dwelt at some length on the religious im- pressiveness of a chime of bells as being an undoubted source both of pleasure and profit to many people in a city like Easton, which so far has known no chime. After the service the matter was taken up by some of the people in a very enthusiastic manner, subscriptions for three bells being made on the spot — Miss Mary Alice Huber leading the way, followed by Mrs. Matilda Chidsey and Mrs. Thomas Rinek. Gradually all the bells were provided for, six being memorial bells, as named below ; one was given by the citizens of Easton in recognition of the close relationship which existed between this old church and the town of Easton from the earliest times, and one by the congregation as a whole. These, together with the great bell weighing 2,000 pounds placed in the tower at the cen- tennial 1876, make a complete chime of nine bells. 75 76 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. The old bell was removed from the tower by the Meneely Bell Company, during the month of September, 1901, and taken to their foundry at Troy, New York, for the purpose of having the other eight bells cast in harmony with it. In December following, very considerable changes were made in the tower to prepare a suitable foundation for the bells, old timbers being replaced by new, and other improvements made as will appear on inspection. Ex- clusive of the cost of these repairs, the chime, including the old bell, cost $6,000. The following is a schedule of the bells with the inscriptions and the names of the donors : 1. F, 2,000 lbs.

The 28th of February a son was born, and baptized the 5th of April in the same year. The child received the name of Ludwig. The Sponsors were Philip Gress(ie) and Anna Margaretha, ejus uxor. The parents were Ludwig Knauss and Elizabetha, ejus uxor. The above entry stands alone, and is in the handwriting of the Rev. John William Ingold, who was not pastor of the congregation until 1776. It is thought that the above record may have been made by Rev. Mr. Ingold some years after the baptism of the child. Then follows, in German handwriting that is exceed- ingly difficult to read, or rather to decipher : " The Record of certain children who were baptized by the Rev. C. P. Weyberg, the evidence of which fact lies in the circumstance that the records were found in his handwriting in certain stray memoranda." 1763. June 12. A child of John Simon and Gertrude his wife. Witnesses, Mr. and Mrs. John Rieser. Child's name, John. 1763. June 12. A child of Michael Meyer and his wife Magdalena. Witnesses, George Kren (?) and Maria Barbara. Child's name, Maria Barbara. 1763. June 19. A child of Martin Lohr and his wife Eliza- beth. Witnesses, Frederick Meixel, and his wife Anna. Name of the child, Abraham. 1763. August 9. A child of John Ries and his wife Sophia. Witnesses, parents. Child's name, John. 1763. August 9. A child of Ludwig Knaus and his wife Elizabetha. Witnesses, parents.

Witnesses, Friederich Meixel and Anna. Name of child, Anna. 1763. October 23. A child of Christopher Fox and his wife. Witnesses, Henry . . . and his wife Juliana. Child's name, Juliana Maria. 1763. April 17. A child of George Gangwer and his wife Anna Maria. Witnesses, Christian Menninger and Maria Catharina Gangewer. Child's name, John. 1763. April 17. A child of Carl Ward and his wife Anna Catharina. Witnesses, William Kehl and Maria Magdalena Kehl. Child's name Maria. The above records, which are evidently in the hand- writing of Rev. Fredenck L. Henop, who became pastor of the congregation in 1766, were made from memoranda left by Rev. Mr. Weyberg. The latter was the first regu- lar pastor of the congregation, taking charge 1763, but remained only six months. This statement may make clear the following note which is entered immediately after the above records : "These are the children whose names were found on slips of paper left behind by the Rev. Mr. Weyberg. It is indeed true that more names were on these slips, but inasmuch as one cannot tell whether they are the names of the parents, the sponsors, or the children, one did not wish to inscribe them, inasmuch as nothing should stand in this book but what one knows to be the truth." Then follow six blank leaves — left blank perhaps in the hope that other records of the Church might be there in- serted in proper place — and then follows the records of baptisms performed by the Rev. Frederick L. Henop, who became pastor at the date named above. Church Records. 83 "The record of the children who were baptized in the congregation at Easton — to wit: 1766. February 23.

John William Ingold became pastor of the congregation, and continued in office for a period of ten years. His records are kept with exceeding care and most commendable clearness. The records are in the English characters for the most part, but here and there German characters are interspersed, the record thus show- ing the conflict of the two languages. Rev. Mr. Ingold's entries are made with good ink, and show as plainly as the day they were made. Each page is ruled into five columns, one each for " Parentes, Infantes, Nati, Bap- tizati and Comparentes " — these names indicating that Mr. Ingold was a good Latin scholar as well as a careful scribe. g6 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa.

[Having reached the beginning of the present living generation, it is thought well that the publication of the record of baptisms should cease at this point. It is to be understood, however, that the record runs on without a break to the present day. It would be impossible, within the limits of one volume, to continue the publication of all the baptisms and other entries.] Church Records. 277 BOOK SECOND. The title-page bears the following inscription : "CHURCH-BOOK " In which the affairs of the Four united Reformed Congrega- tions shall be recorded, viz : Eastown, Greenwich, Dryland and Plainfield (Blaenfield). Eastown, August 1, 1767." On the next page we read : "A record in this Church-Book of transactions and occur- rences that were especially noteworthy (richt remarquabel) ." "Anno, 176S, September 7. The Coetus was held in Eastown." [By the Coetus is meant the Synod of the Reformed Church. By this name it was known from 1747 to 1793, that is to say, so long as it was dependent upon the Church in Holland it was known as The Coetus, but when, in 1793, the body separated from the Church in Holland and became independent, it was thereafter known as The Synod.] Anno 1787. May 30. It was resolved by the four united congregations, Eastown, Greenwich, Dryland and Plainfield, that the Elder of the congregation at Eastown, Mr. John Deichman, should be sent along with the minister as Deputy to the Coetus to be held at Lancaster, June 6, 1787. Fredericus Herman, Pfarrer. Anno 1788. April 5. It was resolved by the Elders and Deacons of the four united Christian congregations, Eastown, Blaenfield, Truckland and Greenwich, that the Elder of the church in Blaenfield, Mr. Frederick Hauser, shall be sent with the minister as Deputy to the Coetus, which will be held April 23, in Reading. Frederick Hermann, V.D.M. 278 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. Anno 1789. June 10. The Coetus of Pennsylvania was held in Philadelphia to which, along with the minister, Mr. Jacob Arndt, Senior, Esquire, was sent as the Deputy of the four congregations. Frid. Herman, Prediger ibi. Anno 1794. It was resolved by the four united congregations, Easton, Dry- land, Greenwich and Plainfield, that the Elder of the congre- gation in Easton, Mr. Michael Odenwaelder, should be sent along with the minister as Deputy to the Synod which meets on the 1 8th of May in Reading. [Note the change of name from Coetus to Synod.'] Dr. C. L. Becker, Prediger. DEATHS AND BURIALS. 1786. Fredericus Hermann h. t.

He was now an aged and venerable man, having continued in office as pastor for forty-eight years. In the year 1845 the Rev. J. H. A. Bomberger became the Englist assistant pastor. In an- other book will be found his record of marriages, the first entry being made April 4, 1847. These records it is not our purpose to publish, our aim being merely to publish the records from the earliest entry down to the close of the ministry of the Rev. Thomas Pomp. It is further to be observed that " Father Pomp's " rela- tion to the congregation still continued in a regular man- ner, even after the coming of Rev. Mr. Bomberger as the assistant pastor. Father Pomp was still the regular Ger- man minister, and Rev. Mr. Bomberger the English pas- tor. This arrangement continued from 1845 to April 19, 1850, when, owing to the increasing infirmities of age, Father Pomp retired from the active service of the church, still retaining, however, his official relation as pastor with salary. " Four years later in the early morning of April 22, 1852, death gently released him from all his earthly labors and trials, in the eightieth year of his age, the sixtieth of his ministry, and the fifty-seventh of his pastor- ate in Easton." During the latter years of his ministry he seems not to have made any entries of marriages, baptisms, etc., in the church books. From what I have learned from members of his family I am persuaded that he kept such records in a private memorandum book, his son William as occasion afforded, copying them into a book which was afterward used as an "Account Book." Some years ago, prior to the death of the sole survivors of his immediate family, the Misses Susan and Mary Pomp, I secured from them the privilege of cutting out the leaves of this account book 396 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. which contained such records, and inserted them in the Church Register at the people place.

CONCLUSION. It may be worth while to call the reader's attention to the fact that the above meager extracts from the proceed- ings of the consistories of these several churches show that it was not customary, in that day, and in the Reformed Church, for the same persons to succeed themselves in office as elders as deacons. When their terms of office expired, others were elected in their stead. Here the editor lays down his pen and brings his long and interesting work to a conclusion. His purpose origin- ally was simply to translate and publish the contents of the two oldest of the church books in the possession of the congregation. This he has now done. There are besides these two church books three others of a more recent date. These future pastors may care for. The editor's purpose was merely to put the oldest and most valuable records of the congregation in such a form that they could be neither lost nor destroyed by fire. It is really a wonder that these old books were not long since destroyed by fire or lost by careless handling. When they are once printed and dis- tributed no carelessness and no fire can ever destroy a lose all of the copies published. That these precious records may be preserved is the hope of the editor, and that every one who turns over the pages of these records of Christian people, long since gone to the better world, may have his name written in the Lamb's Book of Life is his most earnest prayer. "Then they that feared the Lord spake often to one an- other; and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book 4°3 404 The First Reformed Church of Easton, Pa. of remembrance was written before Him for them that Jeared the Lord, and that thought upon His name. ii And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels, and I will spare him as a man spareth his ozvn son that serveth him. Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not." Malachi III., 16-18. "And 1 saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, accord- ing to their works." Rev. XX., 12. FINIS.
