A CELEBRATED PASTOR.

The most celebrated pastor Of this First Pres
byteran Church Of Freehold. whose body lies
beneath its chancel and whose name the church
has borne ever since was the Rev. William Ten
nent, jr.. OF the greatest reyivaists and
most noted preachers up to the time OF the
Revolution. About his remarkable personality
grouped a series of stories less strange
and unworldly than the pious man himself.
The most wonderful event in William Ten
nent's life was that period OF over three days
in which he was in a trance, FOLLOWED by three
years in which the language of earth was for
gotten by him. and then by a long and splendid
pastorate, part Of the time as co-wor<er Of
the noted Whitfield. but always living life pc

SEEN IN A TRANCE.

The strange experience Of William Tennent
created much stir, and became n source OF deep
study to the philosophers, medical profession
and devout Christians of that time He reso-

heard during his trance. beyond the following
account, which he was finally prevailed upon to
give:

It is a curious fact that despite the
immense sums spent by the federal
government on the improvement Of our
rivers the past two decades have been
a period OF absolute and relative de-
cline In river shipping. A quarter cen
fury ago there were on the western
rivers vessels having an aggregate ton

spending figures were 1T4,31S. less
than half. The decline was steady dur
ing the period except for q slight rally
In the early nineties. The average ton
mage last year was only seventy, and
but two vessels of over 1000 were reg
istered as built on the western rivers.

The enthusiastic encouragement CIV
en- by the cities along the Missouri
river to plans for the re-establishment
of steamboat lines for freight traffic is
promise of revival Of one of the most
picturesque features of early western
life. The course of the immigrant was
not all on land. Thousands made much
of the westward journey on the double
decked stern wheelers that noisily pad
oled their way up and down the Mis-
souri, and other interior rivers. Valua-
bic cargoes of furs and buffalo robes
were carried ON these boats, and the
traffic was a strong rival to early rail-
way lines

been abandoned except on the Ohio
and Mississippi, where one may yet
