Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History, First Baptist Church of Norristown, Pa: From the Organization, 1832, to the Present Time, 1897 The First Baptist Church of Norristown has had a remarkable and noteworthy history. It has long seemed to many that the events connected with the founding and building up of a church which has been such a potent factor in the propagation of Christianity in the community should be recorded in a permanent form. Sketches have been written at different times, but this is the first attempt at a comprehensive narrative. In the year 1892, Mr. M. H. McVaugh, Mr. I. N. Harrar, and Mr. George Wright were appointed a committee to revise previously written accounts, and complete the work up to date. In 1893, Mr. Theo. Knabb was added to the committee. This committee held a number of meetings and something was done in the way of gathering statistics and historical facts. In January, 1897, on motion of Dr. J. K. Weaver, who had taken great interest in the matter, the church appointed the writer to undertake the work and complete it as speedily as could be done in connection with his pastoral duties. The following pages are the result of the effort to carry out this design. It would be impossible to acknowledge all the sources that have been drawn upon in the preparation of this volume. The church records, of course, have been the chief source of information. The Minutes of the Central Union Association and the files of the Norristown Herald have also been of great service. Interesting incidents in "The History of Montgomery County," by Theodore W. Bean, have been suggestive. Many important facts in connection with the lives of several pastors have been found in Dr. William Cathcart´s "Baptist Encyclopedia," M. Auge´s "Men of Montgomery County," and "The Life of Rev. Samuel Aaron," by L. C. Aaron. N. B. Randall, D. D., is entitled to much credit for letters from former pastors, and other information gathered by him in 1892 and published in The Norristown Baptist.
