Halloween Party.

The ancient custom OF Halloween
prevails to a great extent in this coun'
try and Is always celebrated i'm the
form OF parties festivals, etc.
According to tradition Halloween.
IL the name properly given to the eve
or virgil of All Halloween. or festival
Of All Saints. which being the first OF
Halloween is the evening
,f the 3ist OF October Ii has long been
the custom to crack nuts, duck for ap-
pies in tub of water. and perform 9th
er hrp.side revelries. In some Of the
European countries the Halloween GER
amonies partook more of a supersti-
tious character, taking among rus
tics. the form of charm to see who
should be his, or her, partner for life.
This idea has long been exploded,
but the parties are the source of much
pleasure and the Halloween antics
never fail to create amusement.
Several Of these parties will be Civ
ed in Ardmore tonight. Miss
Allie Moore will entertain af
ter the performance of Hanford, and
has invited quite number of her
friends to be present.

Cotton Receipts.

With the exception of two days last
weeks receipts were very heavy and
in keeping with the receipts oRrany
week this fall. Bad weather the first
part OF the week somewhat reduced
the receipts. That the crop will be
big one is not doubted by exper-
fenced cotton men, who estimate the
total for the year in excess of 80

Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14

The history of the religious denomi
nations Of this city is a story of strug.
ole. of determination, of difficulties and
Of victories finally attained. This
condition Of affairs existed from the
earliest days of the settlement. Those
towns in East Jersey that were settled
exclusively by English immigrants
had a great advantage IN religious
movements over the towns which con
tanned more cosmopolitan populations.
For example, Newark and Elizabeth
had clergymen and facilities for hold
ing services at an early date and
Woodbridge was able to support
clergyman who stayed in the town Tor
any length of time, although 1t pos
sessed no permanent pastor. In
Perth Amboy, however, although the
foreign influx, which has made the
Heterogeneous population OF today
had not yet begun, a wide diversity
of religious beliefs existed. There
were the Quakers, Anabaptists.
Scotch churchmen and, IN the
neighboring territory, Congregation
~alists, or independents.
This seeming superffulty of sccts
rendered it wellnigh impossible to
secure a preacher who would be gen
orally acceptable to all of the people,
The need for a pastor was greatly
felt, and although the lack of one
was fully realized, it was fifteen years
after the settlement of the place before
there we're any regular religious ser
vices.
In the history Of the founding OF
the various denominations now
conferred il this city, that of Protest
ant Episcopalians, now represented
by the congregation of St. Peters
church, comes first, taking the dates
Of the founding of the several churches
in chronological order.

promissory notes we're issued. These
were met by dollar roll-calls once
every two months. Each member Of
the congregation, who contributed a
dollar, answered to the rol[call and
was supposed to tell in what way the
money had been earned. These
r%ecitals were often very amusing, as
many would resort to unheard OF eX-
pedients to secure the dollar earned
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14
BAPTIST

The first steps towards the organi-
cation of a Baptist congregation in
this city, took place in, the year 1878.
Clergymen of this denomination had
oflciated here for a year, when on
August Goth, Elder 4. Winter was
called to take charge of the congrega-
ton. He continued as pastor until
1893, when he was Succeeded by Elder
Jabez c. Goblc. Up to this time re-
ligious services had been held in the
old courthouse or at the homes Of
Individual members.
The number gradually increased
until, in 1923, it was necessary to pro
cure a regular Westinghouse. In
the following year the erection of a
building was commenced, it being
completed in three years. 1t was
erected at the corner of High and
Fayette streets. 1t was dedicated
July 21st., 1927. In 1855, the build
ing underwent extensive alterations
and in 1867, it was removed from its
corner location, facing on High street
to its present site.
During the pastorate of Rev. w. A.
Bronson, who came here in 1881, the
church was again repaired at an ex-
pense of $1,000. An effort had beer
made to pay off the mortgage on the
church of $4,000. OF this amount
$1,000 was paid, leaving the balance
for repairing the church. In 1891

PROTESTANT

About the year 1905 a numl e. OF
the East Jersey proprietors made APP
plication to Bishop Compton, of
London, for a minister of the estab-
lished church. In response to their
request, the Rev. Edward Perthuck
was sent to the Province in 1908.
The FIST church stood neal Long
Ferry, a short distance south of the
road leading to the homestead of Mr..
Paterson. That this was the site Of

chartered, Perth Amboy's population
was 500. OF this number but a few

belief. The church was organized

much rejoicing.
Rev. Mr.. Ferris has met with much
success since the beginning of his
pastorate here, on December 9, 1900.
The church is nov on a hrmer basis
and in a more thriving condition than
ever before.
