Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Centennial History of the First Presbyterian Church: Of Easton, Pennsylvania, 1811-1911 Before beginning the story of our church life, I wish to say that records are defective; data inaccessible and that very much of the scanty material available antecedently to the fire at Mr. T. McKeen Andrew´s store Dec. 31, 1899, was lost irretrievably in that calamity. Had it not been that our pastor in 1876 wrote out a brief history of our church, to which I have had access, it had been impossible for me to fill up the various gaps in detailing our church life, made by the fire referred to, as well as by the carelessness of those who had our records in charge. From that only available source 1 have taken the liberty of drawing ad libitem, interspersing the story with much known to no other living being. My father was horn and reared in the Presbyterian congregation in Greenwich Twsp., Warren Co., New Jersey. He came to Easton in early life to make Easton his home - united with the First Presbyterian Church in its early years - was married by Mr. Bishop, our second stated supply. Father and mother were great friends of Mr. and Mrs. Bishop and from them I, in my early years, gathered much interesting information. I mention this to account for and substantiate some matters of a personal character not probably known to others now living. Who is there that can with facile pen trace the workings of God´s Providence and grace or follow the silent and unseen growth of His Spirit in the hearts of His children? For convenience in the treatment and to secure a clearer and more easily followed story, I will divide what I have to say into two parts - the Static and the Dynamic work of our church, akin to the Physical and Spiritual work, which, though distinct, necessarily closely intertwine as the years progress. One hundred years! a very minute fraction of the world´s life and yet in its incidents how potent a factor in the lives of a multitude of God´s children!
