Excerpt from Fifty Years After or a Half Century of Presbyterianism in Camden, New Jersey: With Biographical Sketches of the Presbyterian Ministers It is pleasant to recall the memory and to recount the experiences of former generations. Frequently the best of men go down to the grave without leaving behind them any lasting trace of their existence. Their record is on high, and in the great day of final account when the history of every life shall be disclosed, their deeds of piety and benevolence, long forgotten here, shall be brought forward in the sight of an assembled universe, as evidences of their love and loyalty to Christ. Meanwhile it is a gratifying task to perpetuate, even though it be imperfectly, the remembrance of a little of that work and labor of love which God is not unrighteous to forget. It is proper, too, that the young men and women of our churches whose characters are "still upon the anvil," should feel the impact of the patient, prayerful, self-denying exertions of those who laid the foundation of their religious privileges, some of whom have turned many to righteousness and now "shine as the stars forever and ever." It is interesting to note the manner in which God, in fulfillment of His promise, is pleased to honor the faith and bless the labors of His people to their spiritual advancement and growth. It is fitting that the semi-centennial of the first organized effort to introduce the Presbyterian faith and practice into a community should meet with some memorial, however humble, at our hands. And it is important that any attempt to sketch the history of the Presbyterian Church in Camden for the past fifty years, if done at all, should be done now. So far as the writer knows, he is the only person who is familiar with the facts in the history of the Old Central Church, whilst most of the Missionary operations of the denomination in this city, have transpired within his knowledge or under his care.
