A CHURCH BIOGRAPHY OF ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS. 1720-1895. LL about us the ground is memorable. Here predatory beasts were once native and numerous. A capital price was put upon wolves, and the Governor-General in- dicated its necessity to the House of Lords. Redmen roamed over this landscape, until they were crowded into the interior and were deci- mated by the merciless and tireless push of immigration. Patriots who cherished the bil- lowy beauty and fertility of the land travelled over its hills and plains in anxiety and vigi- lance. One time General Washington rode eastward along the Florida highway towards his headquarters at Newburg, and stopped with his staff to chat a moment with the children at the old stone schoolhouse near the stone-crusher quarry. The Rev. Nathan Ker, who had the 13 appellation " priest," settled here during the Revolutionary period. Ker — himself an ardent patriot — is said to have dismissed his congrega- tion once in the midst of a Sunday service, that they might prepare food for a troop of horse in the patriot service which had halted in the town on their way to Philadelphia. This precinct was sparsely settled. The perils fringing the settle- ment during the French and Indian war were many. The frontier was hardly four miles away. Two block-houses, one at Dolsontown and one at Scotchtown, were places of defence and ref- uge. Settlers westward of the Wallkill flocked to Goshen during this period. The heroism of our ancestors enriches the record, and the bones of the valiant hallow the dust about this church. The worthy names of those in the Colonial ser- vice are now borne by many of the people of Goshen, and appear on the " roster " of the Goshen regiment at the battles of Long Island and White Plains, in the defence of the High- lands, at the disastrous capture of Fort Mont- gomery, and in the slaughter of Minisink, — chiselled on the memorial shaft that stands silent and eloquent in the rear of this church. Eager observes that perhaps no county in the State was settled as early as Orange, but subse- quently gives precedence to Ulster, saying that 14 the settlement of that county had a large and controlling influence on the after population of Orange. Governor Nicolls, in 1664, wrote: " The lands which I intend shall be first planted are those upon the west side of Hudson's River." Rutenber states that these lands, excepting the "Great Plot," or about four thousand acres, — where Kingston now stands, — which the War- ranawonkong chiefs gave to Governor Stuyvesant " to grease his feet," were the first lands to which Europeans had title. These lands were called Shawangunk, — " the white man's country." About 1700 there was an eager quest for land titles. Companies were formed, in many in- stances composed of officials whose intent was to get titular possession of the lands, and super- sede, if not obliterate, the Indian titles. Thus extensive tracts were obtained. Three princi- pal patents are mentioned in this connection, — the Chesekook Patent, the Wawayanda Pat- ent, and the Minisink Patent. The Waway- anda Patent chiefly concerns present interest. This patent was by purchase of March 5, 1703, from the following native redmen and owners, — Rapingonick, Wawastawa, Moghopuck, Come- lawaw, Nanawitt, Arawinack, Rombout, Claus, Chouckhass, Chingapaw, Oshasquememus, and Quilapaw. The patent was granted April 29. 15 There were twelve patentees in the first agree- ment, and the land was held by a deed in common until 1706, when it was separated into twelve parts. Only eight of the original share- holders then stood ; others succeeding to the re- maining four interests. This large tract was unoccupied until 17 12, when the surviving patentees, Christopher Denne, Daniel Cromeline, and Benjamin Aske them- selves settled on it. They were joined by Christian Snedeker from Long Island, who had acquired an interest in the patent. A thirteenth shareholder of the patent, Dr. Samuel Staats, came into record in 17 13. An amount of land equalling in extent four of the thirteen shares of the patent came into possession of John Everett and Samuel Clowes in 1714. Counties began to be organized into towns and precincts as early as 1686, but the township of Goshen was not established till 17 14. The pre- cinct of Goshen, comprising the outlying settle- ments, with the town as a political centre, came later, and remained in use until 1788, when the township was expanded to take its place. It ap- pears that it was stipulated, in the deed to Everett and Clowes, that the township should be laid out, and that two hundred acres should be eiven to a minister as soon as the people should select one. 16 There were ten counties in New York, then a province, in 1 704. Albany had a church, West- chester had an unfinished church, and Ulster had a minister; but Orange County, with its sixty families of various nationalities, had neither church nor minister, nor the ability to support one. The Presbyterian church of Goshen was or- ganized in 1720, within six years after the town- ship of Goshen was established, and while yet but very few families were located here. The census of 1738 shows that the entire precinct of Goshen had but three hundred and nineteen white males above ten years of age. This was not only the first Presbyterian organization, but the first church organization of any name in the county of Orange. A Lutheran church was es- tablished in Newburg in 1709, by the grant of a glebe of five hundred acres for " the sole and only proper use, benefit, and behoof of a Lutheran minister, to serve and have the care of the inhabi- tants and their successors forever." There also was the Maghaghameck Church (Reformed Church of Port Jervis), which probably was organ- ized before 1700. But neither of those places was in Orange County in 1720. According to the terms of agreement, the pro- prietors of the land of Goshen were to give two 17 hundred acres of land to such minister as the owners of the town lots should select, while they were to be assessed ten acres for every hundred they possessed, towards highways and burying- ground, parsonage house, and public uses. In 1 72 1, one year after the organizing of the Goshen church, the people agreed upon the Rev. John Bradner, a Presbyterian minister; and the trans- fer of land for the purposes decreed by the pat- entees was effected. There was pronounced Scotch blood in this transaction, on the side of both the people and their minister. Strong in- ferences and plain language are convincing that while the grant of land was to be made to the first religious body that would settle a minis- ter and maintain the ordinances of religion in Goshen, it was surely expected that the church and minister thus benefited would be Presby- terian. The language of the conveyance of the trust for the church specifies that it shall be used only for and by the Presbyterian persuasion. Two deeds of property were executed, — one par- cel of one hundred and forty acres for the church, and another parcel of two hundred acres to the Rev. John Bradner personally. The public high- way, or main street, formerly divided the present church park, continuing in a straight line from Johnson's corner across the ground now occupied 18 by the county building and the church. The land set apart for the church extended one mile on both sides of the old Main Street, at a width of about thirty-five rods. This strip extended from the street now between the Court House and the Methodist Church, to a point nearly across Church Street, as now known. The two hundred acres given to Rev. John Bradner, deeded April 17, 1722, and re- corded April 8, 1 742, at the request of his widow, was in a strip about seven hundred feet wide, from Church Street to the rear of lots on the south side of Green Street, and extending one mile from the old main street towards Chester. The instrument which conveys the land for church and public uses is dated July 17, 1721, and recorded, at the request of Rev. John Bradner, March 27, 1732, not long before his death, which occurred the same year. The deed grants and confirms unto one John Yalverton of the town of Goshen, Yeoman, and his heirs and assigns forever, three parcels of land (one hundred and forty acres in all), for Rev. John Bradner to hold, use, and possess while he continues to be the minister, and after him his successors of the Presbyterian persuasion, for a burying-place, a Presbyterian meeting-house, a parsonage, town- house, school-house, or for any other public use, 19 within the intent of said deed. The trust was subsequently conveyed to the officers of the church. The provisions of the deed were faith- fully fulfilled. A parsonage was in contempla- tion even when the conveyance was made, and shortly after it was built. Immediate plans were undertaken to begin the building of a house of worship, which doubtless was begun not long after the land was obtained, probably in the year 1724, but evidently it was in process of comple- tion for several years. It stood on the spot where now is the Court House. Of this build- ing we have no clear information, saving the knowledge that it was a plain frame structure. The interior arrangement of the seats and the names of the seat-holders as they were in 1797, are shown in one of the full-page illustrations of this book. The burying-ground required by the deed of land covered the ground about the site of the present church building and the county building. Its use for that purpose was discon- tinued when the necessity of building changes arose. At the founding of the Presbyterian Church, courts had never been held here, and none was convened until 1727. By an Act passed Dec. 16, 1737, the first court-house and jail were erected and completed in 1740, on the 20 site of the western end of the present Orange Hotel. This was repaired fourteen years after- ward, and finally demolished in 1775, when a new one was erected on the church plot, at the point where now stands the county clerk's office. The arms of King George III. were placed in ornament on the front of the building, but were quickly torn down by the indignant citizens. A school-house was built on the church plot in 1 801, precisely where now is seen the old brick public-school building on Greenwich Street. In this school Noah Webster taught. When the second church edifice was begun, during the ministry of the Rev. Isaac Lewis, it occupied a place in the present park facing east, and there remained until crowded away by the stone building which now is the religious home of the flock. This left vacant the site of the old church, and the ground was given to the county for a nominal consideration, and the present Court House was reared there in 1841. The first Clerk's office stood upon the site of the Surro- gate's building; the second was at the apex of the park triangle. The first building was erected in 18 10; the second in 185 1, which was enlarged in 1887 by the additional grant of land to the county by the church. Besides these buildings for public uses on church land, are the brick 21 structure formerly used by the Supervisors and Surrogate of the county, and the village engine- house to the west. School buildings for both boys and girls stood on the church grounds, and the memory of them lingers in the life of the more venerable Goshenites unto this day ; while the Farmers' Hall Academy is frequently cited as the school where many of the present ideas first began to shoot. At the west corner of the church park Claudius Smith was hanged, Jan. 13, 1779. The inhabitants hereabouts had scant patience with treason and murder. The scenes enacted at that time have furnished food for tra- dition and homily during succeeding generations. On the gallows near the same spot forty years later, two others were publicly put to death for murder. The Presbyterian church of Goshen joins together nearly two entire calendar centuries, and within a little time will extend its history into the beginning of a third. The remarkable item of this long period is its unbroken and use- ful influence in this locality. The character of the people, and of their ministers too, may be in- dicated by the long tenure of the pastorate. One year after the organization of the church a set- tled pastor was secured ; and during the one and three-quarters centuries since, there has been no 22 considerable time intervening in the succession of ministers. Two years' interval is the longest that is noted, while usually the new pastor is settled in the same year his predecessor yields up the charge. There have been but ten pastors in this long range of time, the tenth pastor now serving in the tenth year of his incumbency. This is an average pastorate of seventeen and one half years. The shortest pastorate was that of the Rev. James R. Johnston, — about four years; the longest, that of the Rev. Nathan Ker, — thirty- eight years. It is said that there was preaching in Goshen as early as 17 15, and that an itinerant clergyman, named Treat, often held religious service here. The first pastor was Rev. John Bradner, 1721- 1732, of whom there is but little trustworthy account. Two traditions are given by his de- scendants : one is that he studied at the Uni- versity of Edinburgh, Scotland, and after a time eloped with Christian Colvill, the daughter of its president, married her, and migrated to America from Newcastle, England. Owing to accident, the ship put back to the Isle of Man. It was more than twelve months before they ar- rived on this continent. Their first child was born on the voyage hither. He is said to have had red hair, which does not interest us so much 23 as the discrimination he used in selecting his wife, and the romantic circumstances of his mar- riage and wedding trip. The other view only slightly modifies this. The John Bradner who married Miss Colvill, daughter of a Scotch earl (who may also have been head of the University), and eloped to this country, is said to be the father of the first minister at Goshen, and it was the Goshen pastor who was born on the deep on the voyage hither. It is agreed that he preached at Cape May, N. J., some twelve years before he settled here ; and this was the place of his death and burial. Of his family we know nothing ex- cept that he had a son, the Rev. Benoni Bradner, who preached in the Jamaica Presbyterian Church in 1760 and 1761. There are now with us de- scendants of Rev. John Bradner, who trace their lineage from him, his son Benjamin, and his son Colvill (the maternal ancestral name), two of whose children, Lois Bradner and Mrs. Sarah Colvill Van Duzer, worship here to-day. Rev. John Tudor supplied the pulpit for a short interval, after the decease of Mr. Bradner. The second pastor, the Rev. Silas Leonard, began his labors here in 1 734, and ended them in 1758. A schism occurred in the church about 1745, brought on by the " New Lights," or " Sep- aratists," as they were called. There is some 24 conflict of opinion concerning the dates of this pastorate, but no indisputable evidence appears that would lead to a change in the transmitted and accepted chronology. Following him came the Rev. Abner Brush, third pastor of the church, who was installed in the fall of 1758, and remained until May, 1766, when the Presbytery dissolved his pastoral rela- tion with the church, after which he supplied the Marlborough church several years. Not an item concerning: these men or their work can be ob- tained beyond the dates of their incumbency ; yet Mr. Leonard was the acceptable pastor of the flock for twenty-four years, and died in the midst of his friends. Rev. Nathan Ker, A.M., succeeded to the pas- torate in the fall of 1766, and continued, active, faithful, patriotic, and beloved, until Dec. 14, 1S04, when he died, and was interred near by the church he had served so well. We have his handwriting in the records of the church, from the year after he came until he fell on sleep. His pastorate synchronized with the bleak distress of the Colonists under the exactions of King George, and with the inevitable revolt in independence and revolution that followed. He was contem- porary with Washington as commander of the patriot forces, and as president of the young Re- 25 public for the first two terms of its life, and he outlived the Father of his Country by just five years. His impress is left upon this whole sec- tion. He was the first moderator of the Presby- tery of Hudson, which was organized and first convened in the Franklin church, Nov. 1 7, 1 795 ; and the Presbyterian church of Deer Park is supposed to have been organized by him. Dr. Sprague's " Annals of the American Pul- pit " has this : " Rev. Nathan Ker, son of William and Katharine Ker, was born in Freehold, N. J., Sept. 7, 1736. Hopefully converted under the preaching of Rev. William Tennent, he entered Princeton, where he graduated in 1761. The next year he was licensed by the Presbytery of New Brunswick, and, Aug. 17, 1763, was ordained by the same body. Shortly after he was settled at Goshen. He was a zealous Whig in the Revo- lution, and served for some time as a voluntary chaplain in the American army. He was a man of well balanced and well cultivated mind, en- larged and liberal views, earnest piety and exten- sive influence. He published a volume in the 'American Preacher ' (Vol. IV.), entitled ' God's Sovereignty in conferring Means and Grace,' 1 793-" In a rusty book of ancient date — no imprint being given — there is a forceful sermon by Mr. 26 Ker, published with other sermons by such emi- nent clergymen as MacWhorter, Dana, Linn, Bur- net, and Tennent, on the " Component Parts of Christ's Church, and the Advantages of Union," from Ephesians iv. 15-16, which reveals a master mind and a real spiritual insight. If the glowing presence, the personal magnetism, and the living voice could have been printed with the language, there would be for us a living picture of the whole preacher. In Rivington's " Tory Gazette," June 14, 1780, a rather serio-comic incident is related of this Goshen pastor. It was shearing-time ; the deacons were about to collect the fleece, and he was using every argument to induce the pay- ment of their subscriptions, with due allowance for the depreciation of the paper currency. He complained that their neglect of the minister had convoked many judgments on their heads. Then, with uplifted hands, and directly addressing the Almighty in plaintive tone, he said: "O God! our corn is blasted ! Our fruit is all cut off! Our flax is caught under the snow, so that we shall soon have- neither shirt nor shift ! and what, O God, dost you intend to do with thy people next? " The following names of the children of Rev. Nathan Ker, and Anne, his wife, appear on the church records as having been baptized : Oliver Livermore, born 1 766 ; Catharine, 1 767 ; Han- 27 V THE REV. EZRA FIS! nah, 1769; Margaret Clark, 1770; Mary, 1772; and Elizabeth, 1774- Margaret Clark, who be- came Mrs. Freeman, joined this church in 1 793. Elizabeth, who joined the church at the same time, became Mrs. McCarthy. With the termina- tion of Nathan Ker's pastorate, we are ushered into the present century. Rev. Isaac Lewis became the fifth pastor. He was received from the Presbytery of Oneida in November, 1S05, and was installed at Goshen Jan. 1, 1S06. Six years and six months was the period of his office, which was discontinued, by mutual consent, July 1, 181 2, after which he was dismissed to the Presbytery of New York. His handwriting engrosses some of the sessional rec- ords of the church ; and if he were as trim and neat a man as his writing indicates, he was surely very seemly and attractive. His wife, Catharine, joined this church, May 31, 1806, by letter from Cooperstown. The Rev. Ezra Fisk, D.D., was the next in suc- cession. He was born in Shelburne, Mass., Jan. 10, 1785, and buried in Goshen in 1833. He is still remembered, by those whose life has passed beyond the scriptural longevity, as strong and powerful in his great office. He came in August, 181 3, and was installed April 21, 18 14. He con- tinued here a score of years. At the beginning 28 of his pastorate the second church edifice was dedicated. Six years later, in 1S19, the Presby- tery of Hudson was diminished by cutting off the churches that formed the Presbytery of North River. His wife, Esther, joined this church, May 6, 1813. The Goshen "Democrat" of March 8, 1875, publishes a communication by " T. L. J.," of Montgomery, with the discourse of Dr. Fisk de- livered at the execution of James Teed and David Dunning for the murder of Richard Jennings, with the startling title, " Sin finds out the Crim- inal." The correspondent uses this Scripture as a headline, " Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." ychovah ! The text was, " Be sure your sin will find you out " (Num. xxxii. 23). The occasion was as thrilling as it was unique and rare. The preacher enunci- ated his message, from a platform erected for the occasion, to an audience estimated from 25,000 to 50,000, with the unfortunate condemned men standing beneath the gallows ready to be swung off, their altitude giving force to the truth, " Thou art the man ! " Viewed from this period, the picture as it strikes the fancy has a decidedly uncanny and grewsome aspect ; but even a hasty reading of that discourse stamps it as a majestic utterance under most painful and difficult con- ditions. It is intensely scriptural, with the in- 29 THE CHURCH. ERECTED 1812. exorable logic of sovereignty that almost figures the Divine Judge on his throne, with the crimi- nal transfixed in full view. In the application and appeal to the condemned men at the close, both justice and mercy are interwrought like mingled lightning and rainbow, and the judicial phrase, " May God have mercy on your souls," is worked out in detail ; yet there was more ten- derness in the preacher than would be in the judge. In the winter of 1832 and 1833, Dr. Fisk's health became impaired. He went South, and while there wrote a touching pastoral let- ter to the congregation, dated Lexington, Ga., Jan. 30, 1833, which was read in church. It breathes an unaffected solicitude for his flock, and a yearning for them that unquestionably was tenderly reciprocated. The fine spirit of the man looks out from every sentence. During his absence Rev. John N. Lewis supplied the pulpit. It was the time of some rancor between the old and new school elements of the church. A slight disaffection arose. This may have checked the recovery of his health, as an ounce of slight will overbalance a ton of tonic on a human heart. He returned from the South, and in September, 1833, resigned his charge to take the professorship of Ecclesiastical History in the Western Theological Seminary. He was taken 30 ill at Philadelphia on his journey to his new post, and died there December 5. Elder Luther Harris went to Philadelphia and brought the remains hither, and he was buried from this church. Dr. Fisk graduated from Williams Col- lege in 1809. He married the daughter of Rev. Francis Cummins, D.D. There were no children from this marriage. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was given him by Hamilton College in 1825. He was a trustee of Williams College from 1823, and a director of Princeton Seminary from 1825 till his death, and was elected Mod- erator of the General Assembly in 1833. In the ground, a little to the west from this church, lie the remains of three distinguished pastors of this people. A stone formerly marked their resting-place, and this was the inscription : Here repose the remains of Rev. John Bradner, a native of Scotland, the first pastor of the Presby- terian Church of Goshen, settled a. d. 1721, and died 1732. * Also of Rev. Nathan Ker, his successor, who preached the Gospel in this place for 38 years, died Dec. 14, 1804. * Also of his successor, Rev. Ezra Fisk, D.D., who was born Jan. 10, 1785, at Shelburne, Mass., settled as pastor of the Goshen Church, Aug. 13, 1813, died Dec. s, 1833, aged 49 years. 31 THE REV. JAMES R. JOHNSTON. The boys of a generation or so ago had no qualms about pushing their sports into the grounds of the "city of the dead;" and they are reported to have used a portion of the greensward for a ball field, of which the tomb- stone just described was second base. Some of our elders, now of such serious mien and statu- esque decorum, cavorted hereabouts with youthful and irrepressible ardor. In a moment of excite- ment, a runner, " Rant Pitts," jumped upon the stone and broke it asunder, and the place that once knew it now knows it no more. This is the irony of fate. The seventh pastor was Rev. James R. John- ston, who was received from the New York Presbytery in April, 1835. When the call was presented to this Presbytery, it was accompanied by a remonstrance. The commissioner from the congregation was James W. Wilkin. Presbytery considered both sides, and finally installed Mr. Johnston, April 30, 1835. Difficulties existed in the church, upon which a committee from the Presbytery conferred with the Session, and reported, in September, 1S36, " that they had been unable to effect a settlement of said diffi- culties." Mr. Johnston's pastorate terminated Oct. 16, 1839, by his resignation. Ill health was the reason assigned. He went from here 32 to the church at Campbell Hall. He was ad- mittedly a rare preacher and a scholarly man. It is presumed that the differences which mani- fested themselves the final year of Dr. Fisk's pastorate — which can be explained entirely apart from anything personal cither to him or to Mr. Johnston — may have occasioned un- pleasantness and dispersion. It was about that time there was an exodus from this church of perhaps twenty families, who colonized and formed the Denton Church. The genial and sparkling Dr. McCartee fol- lowed Mr. Johnston. His happy presence and illuminated face are household memories through- out this congregation. He came to Goshen in the plenitude of his manly powers, and was in- stalled the 6th of May, 1840. He was born Sept. 30, 1 791, in the city of New York, in the same house in which his father, Peter McCartee, and his grandfather were born before him. His boyhood had the distinguished influence of the ministry of the celebrated Dr. John M. Mason. He graduated from Columbia College in 1S08, in his seventeenth year, and at once began the study of law, being admitted to the bar in due course. His conversion about this time altered the plan of his life. The ministry of the gospel summoned him, and he entered the seminary of 33 REV. ROBERT McCART ■ the Associate Reformed Church in New York, and directly upon his licensure by his Presbytery was in demand by several churches. His gifts and disposition were quickly recognized. The broad training preparatory to his preaching qualified him in no ordinary manner to meet and captivate men. His usefulness was yet further enhanced when he married Miss Jessie Bethune, a worthy daughter of the honored Mr. Divie Bethune. He had settlements in the Old Scots Church, Spruce Street, Philadelphia ; then in the Irish Presbyterian Church of Orange Street, New York, where soon was gathered one of the largest congregations in the city, and indeed its membership of nearly one thousand was almost unprecedented in those days. The exactions of this great field made such inroads on his strength that he yielded to the entreaties of his family and friends, and in 1836 took the small church in Port Carbon, in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. In the spring of 1840 he came to this church, was installed the 6th of May, and remained until the 31st of July, 1849. After Goshen he had pastorates in Newburg and in New York, which was his last. He spent the last three years of his life at Yonkers, where he died, March 12, 1865. He was gifted with deep emotion, vivid fancy, fluency of thought and language, and an 34 unusually sonorous and flexible voice. The de- gree of D. D. was conferred upon him by his Alma Mater, 1831. He was a successful preacher and pastor; his earnest and eloquent manner winning many to the Kingdom. During his work in Goshen a revival affected the whole community, and many were added to the church ; these were in addition to accessions steadily during his ministry. He was favored thus in every church over which he was pastor. There are not a few of those now with us who recall his beaming face and kindly, jovial disposition. He was the charm of many a social occasion, the friend whose sympathies were ample for the whole parish ; and many sought him for advice and comfort upon a great variety of subjects. His memory yet lingers about this church and community like the fragrance of fresh violets. The Rev. William D. Snodgrass, D.D., was the ninth pastor. He came to the church in his fifty- fourth year, and remained the active pastor for thirty-six years, — a fact which bears unimpeach- able testimony to his ability as a preacher and a man, and to the substantial affection of the people. Nor is it to be inferred that he was a charge upon their indulgence, for he fulfilled the duties of pastor even to the last year of his life. During 35 his last ten years many demands upon him were dismissed, and the burden of pulpit work and weekly services was shared or assumed by assist- ants, the Rev. Arthur Newman and the Rev. Lee W. Beattie, who performed about all the pastoral work; yet he continued to preach almost every Lord's Day morning until the end of his active ministry. It is so recently that his venerable and gentle life was ended, that even the young can easily recollect his face, his voice, and his presence here. The necessity for extended biog- raphy seems needless, and this especially because it is difficult to describe one who has so recently been with us. His birthplace was West Hanover, Penn. His father, Rev. James Snodgrass, had been pastor of that church for thirteen years when, in 1 796, the future pastor of Goshen was born. The son inherited a penchant for long pastorates, as his father was the minister of the West Hanover Church for sixty-three years, from 17S3 to 1846. He graduated from Washington College in the class of 181 5, and three years later from Princeton Seminary. His first settlement was at Fayetteville, N. C, from 1819 to 1822, after which he was awhile in the Presbyterian Church at Savannah, Ga. The climate did not agree with his health, and he accepted a call from the Murray Street Church in New York 36 THE REV. WM. D. SNODGRASS, t>. D. City, to succeed the famous Dr. J. M. Mason. This was a courageous step for a young man but twenty-seven, to assume the place of such an acknowledged celebrity ; but he sustained his position, and established a distinguished reputa- tion in the metropolis, which he maintained for the period of nearly eleven years, from 1823 to 1834. Then he accepted the charge of the Second Presbyterian Church of Troy, where he continued his service for ten years. After this he returned to the city, and assumed the pastor- ate of the Fifteenth Street Church. His call to Goshen was followed by his installation here Nov. 7, 1849. After serving this flock long and faithfully, when in his ninetieth year, he asked to be released from his pastoral office. At a meeting of the people Oct. 28, 1885, he was made " Pastor Emeritus " at a salary of $800, with the use of the parsonage. After this he preached but once or twice. His death occurred, after a brief illness, May 28, 1S86, and he was buried at the cemetery on Slate Hill, where now a sarcophagus marks the resting-place of his remains. It was an imposing occasion when the funeral was held in the church. The great edi- fice was thronged. The village stores were closed in token of respect. Visitors from abroad congre- gated in large numbers to attend the obsequies. 37 Representatives from Princeton Seminary, of which he had been a director, were here, and a large delegation from the Hudson Presbytery. The Orange County Bible Society also gathered in honor of its late president. Nine clergy- men participated in the services, which were plain and impressive, and continued just one hour. Loving friends have placed on the wall of the church a tablet to his memory, with this inscription : — ^n apcmoriam. Rev. William D. Snodgrass, D.D. Born June 30TH, 1796. Died May 28th, 1886. Thirty-Six Years Pastor of this Church From 1849 to 1885. * Let us remember the words that he spake while yet with us, and follow him, as he followed Christ. Dr. Snodgrass urged the building of the pres- ent church, and was a helpful adviser in the process of its erection. There may have been some reluctance to leave the old building; and when, after several vain appeals to move in the new enterprise, the spire of the church was struck by lightning, Dr. Snodgrass observed that *8 THE REV. ROBERT BRUCE CLARK. the voice of man had not availed, hence the voice of heaven had spoken for a new church. It was then that an old couplet was revised, — " Old Goshen, proud people ; Old Church, no steeple." The new church came, with a massive new steeple, — which afterward had to be rased to the ground although not struck by lightning, — and no one was more the cynosure of eyes when it was dedicated than the white-haired pastor, then three quarters of a century old. A re- freshing awakening marked the beginning of his pastorate, and in 1873 a gracious revival brought into the church nearly threescore converts, rang- ing in years from the child to the old man. Its memory even now arouses gratitude and praise. The tenth and present pastor, the Rev. Robert Bruce Clark, a native of Newark, N. J., a gradu- ate of Amherst College 1876 and of Union Seminary 1879, was ordained and installed, Oct. 16, 1879, in the Presbyterian Church of State Centre, Iowa, by the Presbytery of Waterloo, and remained its pastor more than four years, then moving to Chicago, where for two years he was pastor of the Forty-first Street Pres- byterian Church. Dec. 20, 18S5, he preached in this church, was called to its pastorate on 39 the 29th, and accepted the call the first Sunday of January, 18S6. The installation took place February 5th. There have gone forth from this church into the ministry, Rev. W. A. Westcott, M.D., Rev. F. A. Crane, Ph. D., Rev. T. Scott Bradner, Rev. W. S. Brown, Rev. A. R. Merriam, Rev. John I. Thompson, Rev. Charles Brewster. Dr. Bethune McCartee became a missionary to China, and two of its members are now in course at the seminary. The time agone has been fertile and progres- sive. This church has kept pace with its envi- ronment. Originally it was the place " to which the tribes went up." It has never lost its com- manding position. Along the shifting and sift- ing years it has remained steady, coherent, and strong. The immutable character of its Head hath been imparted to this body. The name of this church has given strength and help to many generations. This entire section has been illu- minated by its reflected light. Noble ancestors have prayed and wrought in its service, and their descendants now preserve the fidelity of the saints in the quickened activities and enlarged opportunities of this closing century. The grati- tude and praise of a vast company are uplifted to the Lord, and the people rejoice that the lines 40 have fallen to them in such pleasant places. May peace be within thy walls, O Goshen, and pros- perity within thy palaces forever! AUTHORITIES CONSULTED. The Records of the Church and Congregation. Harlow's History of the Presbytery of Hudson.

During the pastorate of the Rev. John Bradner, and some- time in the third decade of the eighteenth century, the first building used by this congregation as a place of worship was erected. It was a wooden structure of plain design and con- struction, and was not entirely completed for several years. The plan of the interior, with the names of the regular occu- pants in the latter part of that century, is given in this book. In the early part of the present century plans for a new build- ing were projected, and a large frame edifice was completed in 1813, and dedicated during the beginning of the ministry of the Rev. Ezra Fisk, D.D. The cost of this was $14,500, and it was considered a majestic and pretentious structure. It still stands in this village, a monument of former glory and a garner of hallowed memories, although the sound of the hammer is heard in its precincts instead of the voice of praise. When approaching the year 1870, the opinion of the people ripened for a new church building. This, the third in suc- cession, was finished and dedicated in 1871. In its massive- ness and capacity it promises to be adequate to the needs of the congregation for generations to come. The history of its inception and completion is interesting. The Trustees re- solved, July 21, 1866, to build a new church edifice. W. A. Wilkinson took the contract for #82,500. Ground was broken Sept. 7, 1868. The corner-stone was laid, with impressive ceremonies, May 11, 1869, at 3 p. m. In July of the same 50 - - Z u ►J u ^ > Q z Z o 7. ■- - year, the contractor abandoned the work, having expended $17,500. August n, P. H. Terhune, of Binghampton, under- took the completion of the building, according to the original plans, for $88,000. Changes and improvements, however, in- creased the cost greatly. The dedication occurred Nov. 22, 1 87 1, at 11 a.m. The spire was condemned as unsafe, and taken down, at an expense of $1,284.15, in 1878, and rebuilt in 1881, for $11,257.24. The church building occupies a position towards the narrowest angle of a spacious triangular park in the centre of the village, and faces the northwest. It is built of blue limestone, quarried from the farm of the county, some four miles from the village. The walls are laid in courses, rock-faced, and the trimmings and copings are of dressed Syracuse stone. It is solid masonry from the founda- tion to the topmost cruciform stone of the spire. The Chapel is placed at a right-angle to the front of the Church, and divided from it by a campanile tower, 70 ft. high. The dimensions are : depth, 105 ft.; width, 62 ft.; height of main gable, 63 ft. ; Chapel, 46 X 30 ft. ; and gable, 34 ft. Extreme frontage, 114 ft.; height of spire, 186 ft. The estimated weight of the building is 10,000 tons, and it rests on bed- rock. The town clock in the spire is 130 ft. from the ground. The bell weighs 4,000 lbs., and swings at a height of 1 20 ft. The seating capacity of the Church is 1,200. In 1891 the interior was entirely refitted : the walls and ceiling were dec- orated by J. and R. Lamb ; new chandeliers and fixtures, new carpets and cushions were provided, the platform and pulpit were entirely altered and refurnished, a friction machine for lighting the gas was introduced, and the buildings were wired for electric lights. In 1893 the organ received its first overhauling, and was thoroughly repaired. A new solo organ was added, with a third key manual, and the modern combi- nations and appliances. A Ross valve water-motor was pro- vided to supersede the obsolete hand-power. 51 < o OS O The money expended on the present Church building and its furnishings to date is as follows : — Original cost of Church and Chapel and grading grounds #128,514.03 Heating, lighting, and furnishings 8,182.10 Organ 5,096.00 Taking down the spire 1,284.15 Rebuilding the spire 11,257.24 Repairs of 1S91, with new furnishings 4,048.00 Memorial tablet and baptismal font 325.00 Additions to the organ in 1893 1,332.00 Chapel furniture, pulpit Bibles, stepping-block . . . 372.00 Total $ 160,410.52 SCHEME OF THE CHURCH ORGAN, BUILT 1872.

On July 7, 1886, the Congregation voted to build a new home for its Pastor, which immediately was begun upon a generous plan, and was completed in March, 18S7, at the fol- lowing cost : — Contract price $5,600.00 Fixtures and barn 1,296.70 Service-pipe and meter 34.10 Grading and flagging 620.31 $7,551 11 Paid on Parsonage : — By sale of land for new street $1,000.00 Sale of building lot on new street . . . 1,875.00 From sale of old Parsonage 160.00 From general fund 16. n By money borrowed on notes of the Trustees 4,500.00 #7,551-1' By legacy of Mrs. Mary Houston . . . $500.00 Balance of Parsonage account unpaid . . 4,000.00 54 STATEMENT OF THE CHURCH DEBT. The Ladies' Church Society, of which Miss Mary E. Grier was the efficient Treasurer, began raising funds to liquidate the debt June 22, 1877. At a Congregational meeting, held Oct. 19, 1879, it was agreed to be most desirable that the debt should be paid in full at an early date. A mutual covenant between the members and the Corporation was assumed, to wit : •' That said debt shall be divided into one thousand shares of ten cents a week for a period of three years, payable at least once every four weeks, to begin only when the whole number of shares shall have been subscribed." After a fair start on the plan, it appeared to be the wish of the people, first to rebuild the Church spire, which had been taken down because of faulty construction. The plan was held in abeyance while the spire was rebuilt. In 1884 the foregoing agreement, with slight modification, was resumed, and pursued unto the entire extinction of the debt. The figures are appended : — Balance from Church furnishing fund . . $ 14-35 Subscription in shares 10,865.96 Church collections 2,992.32 Festivals 945 79 Interest 924.99 Sociables 851.50 Tableaux and concerts 535- 2 7 Donations 195.00 Personally solicited 7348 Total received for the Church debt . . $17,398.66 The above amount paid the entire incumbrance on the Church edifice ; and it was announced from the pulpit by the Pastor Sunday morning, Sept. 20, 189 1, that the House of Worship was wholly free from debt. 55 INCOME OF THE CHURCH.
