Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Services in Celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Founding of the Old First Presbyterian Church in the City of New York: In the Church, Fifth Avenue, Eleventh to Twelfth Streets, December 1916 "Auspicante Deo," "By the favor of God." So runs the opening sentence of the Votive Tablet erected by our fathers in 1749 to commemorate their gratitude for the founding of the Church and its preservation amid perils which threatened its continuance. "Auspicante Deo," "By the favor of God," the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the establishment of Presbyterianism in the City of New York by the organization of the Old First Church, was celebrated during the week beginning December the third, Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen. The unique significance of this occasion was emphasized by a formal authorization issued by the Presbytery of New York, which directed a general observance of the event in all the Presbyterian Churches of the City, and the attendance of the Presbytery in a body at the special Mid-Week Festival Service. The Synod of New York took cognizance of the occasion by a Vote of Congratulation and the appointment of a Special Representative to convey to the Church its official Greeting. The Moderator of the General Assembly was present; participated in the opening services, presided at the Wednesday night function, and expressed to the Old First Church the official felicitations of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. The birth of Presbyterianism in the metropolitan City of the country thus received official recognition both from the local Church and the Church throughout the land. The far reaching and influential touch of this event upon the myriad sided life of the town during the past two centuries, was signally attested by the presence at the Celebration, of the representatives of all phases of religious opinion, and all lines of civic activity, and all classes of social organization. The President and Ex-Presidents of the United States sent letters of personal congratulation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
