Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Review of the First Presbyterian Church of Blackwood: A Sermon Judging from such names as Blackwood, Fisher, McCulloch, Flanigan, some of them were either Scotch or Scotch Irish. Others were from Wales, as the Morgan family, and others were from England. But they were all of the stuff necessary to lay foundations of liberty, and truth, and integrity, and strength for the future to build upon. They were determined to make a living for themselves in the almost unbroken wilderness, and at the same time to maintain their spiritual life by the observance of the public worship of God. We cannot tell when these early settlers first united in their worship, or where they held their first services. No doubt these services were held in some private dwelling, perhaps in a log cabin; and as John Blackwood came from Presbyterian Scotland, no doubt they sang the old Scotch version of the Psalms to such tunes as Martyrs, Elgin, Dundee and French - good psalms and good tunes for strong, sturdy, pious souls. We know that a Presbyterian congregation existed before November 7th, 1750, because on that day a call was presented by the congregation at the head of Timber Creek, (now Black¬wood), conjointly with Woodbury, for the services of Mr. Benjamin Chesnutt, but how long before we cannot tell. My own opinion is that the people were called together to join in worship as soon as Mr. Blackwood settled here, which was in 1741. It is very evident that he, being an earnest, staunch, whole-souled, kirk-loving Presbyterian Christian, accustomed to worship God regularly in the kirk in his old home, would not be long in any place without trying to gather around him all those whose hearts longed for the worship of God in the sanctuary.
