Stalnf ora now STANDS. After many VI
rissitudes, he finally wended his way
to Long Island.
The island was a wild spot, inhab
tied almost exclusively by Indians, al
though q few settlers had established
homes. They erected Il humble house
If worship on the site of the present
structure. Adjoining the church was a
stockade. Through the sides We're
portfolios, and during services senti-
nels We're constantly on guard. The
men carried guns to church, and We're
always prepared for conflict.
Minister Denton remained at the head
Of his congregation for fifteen years,
when he returned to England, where
he died. He left four sons to carry on
his labors. Two of them We're instru-
mental in the creation of a colony now
known as Jamaica, and the other two
founded Elizabeth, y. j. Their de
scendants are scattered throughout
both of these places.
The congregation built Il new church
In 1862. and services We're held in it
until 17I6. The British soldiers then
invaded the town and held it as n
vantage point, defying siege or bonn
bardment. The British took posses
sion of the church, and committed
many depredations.
The PreSbyterianS We're revolutionists
Of the most pronounced type, and the
soldiers took especial delight in heap
ing indignities upon them. They used
the church for barracks and installed
their horses there. They even cut
holes through the flooring so that the
animals could stand on the ground
The windows were broken and other
dissertations committed. During the
presence of the soldiers on the island,
the little congregation became almost
extinct The members were obliged to
worship In private, and it is related
that the greatest secrecy had to be
maintained on account of the hostility
of the militia. After the war a minis

From 1914 until the present day the
congregation has remained intact. At

one of the most remarkable in Ameri-

The church was burned and a new
