IST PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH OLDEST
IN ESSEX COUNTY
Newark Edifice Was First Goa
structed by Puritans
j in 1000.
HAS HAD A RAPID
GROWTH EVER SINCE
The Rev. DR.. David R. Frazer,
Pastor, Has Been in Office
Twenty=six Years.

When the sturdy Puritans from the
Colony of Connecticut landed on the
shore of the site of Newark in May.
1866, they brought with them a Mr..
Parsons, who served as minister at a
small stipend until the Rev. Abraham
P1erson was appointed the first pastor
on October l, 1867, serving about eleven
years, and his son, the Rev. Abraham
Pierson, jr., vas with the congregation
over twenty years. During the 242
years of the existence of the church
society there have been fifteen pastors,
the present pastor, the Rev. DR.. David
r. Frazer being the fifteenth. He was
installed twenty-six years ago this
month and observed his silver jubilee
as pastor on the first Sunday in Feb
ruary, 1908.
But 1t was not until September 10,
1868, that the town voted to build a
meeting house, to be SO feet in length
26 in width, and 13 between the joints,
with q centre to it all the length, which
will make 1t 36 feet square, March II
of that year the timbers were ready to
raise and two men agreed to DO the
work for five pounds, with the help of
the town, blu it was two years before
the ediice was ready for services. 1t
was a quaint frame structure with a
low entrance door, a small window
above, one large window OF FAC side
of the door, and the roof slanted in
ward and up on four sides to an open
work observation place, used later
for a bell, and it was capped by a struc-
ture of wood that resembled a funnel
turned big end down.
The church was in a corner of the old
burying ground on the west side of
Broad street, opposite what is now Me-
chanic street, and for half a century it
was used for town meetings and other
gatherings, as we'll as for religious wor-
ship. In 1875 the building was repaired
and a new roof added. Afterwards $4,000
was raised to build a new building, a
site was selected, materials gathered,
but the Wal of the Revolution stopped
the work. After the wal the second
church building was erected, it is be-,
lieved, between TIA and 1716; was of
stone. A feet square,, was taller than
the old church, near which it vas
erected, being opposite the present First
Church edifice. 1t had a bell in the
steep1e in 1735. The church society was
organized on a Congregational basis,
but In 1920 it was represented in the
Synod of the Presbyterian Church, and
became known as the First P~resbyter-
ian Church of Newark, and June 7, 1859,
1t was given a district CORPORATE exist
ence under that name.
In September the foundation of the
present church building was started.
It is said the Rev. DIR. Alex. Mac
Whorter, the pastor, made an address
and a prayer and then broke the
foundation by himself digging the first
spadeful of earth. The trench founda-
tion was finished by the men of the
town in a few hours, and the corner

DR.. DENLINGER
TALKS OF LINCOLN
AND REDEMPTION
Pays Great Tribute to the Char
acter of the Great Eman-
cipator.

lincoln and the Redemption was
the topic of the third sermon IN his
patriotic series by the Rev. DR.. Henry
K. Denlinger. at the High Street Pres
byterian Church last night. He said in
part:
1T is a futile question to try to sep
arate a man like Lincoln from the cause
to which he gave his life, to ask what
would Abraham Lincoln have been
apart from the war, if he had had a
college education, or had been born I'm
der different circumstances. These are
meaningless queries. idle Speculation,
quite as foolish as to say HI another
ask if the occasion demanded it. il
other men just as great are not about.
Mute inglorious Millions there may be,
but remaining mute they are of no con-
sequence, and he who propounds them
n discusses them is far from Miitonic
and might better remain mute. Lincoln
and the occasion go together. The oc-
casion is piled with difficulties. he
once said, I'VE must rise with the oc-
casion.' So he did.
In meeting the occasion he met God.
The event was slavery, the duty Was
union, and the solution to hnn spelled
GOD. In writing the emanc1patioR
proclamation he says: al attempt no
compliment to my own sagaeity, l lain
not to have controlled events, but cons.

plain If God now wills the removal
of a great wrong. n wills also thaE
we of the North as well as we Of the
South shall pay fairly for u coin-x

tory will find therein new cause to az

SIMPLE RECIPE FOR
RHEUMATISM.
Splendid Recipe for Home
Made Rheumatism and
Kidney Cure.

To relieve the worst forms OF
Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful Of
the following mixture after each
meal and at bedtime;
Fluid extract dandelion, one hall
ounce; compound kargon, one
ounce; compound syrup sarsapa.
rilla. three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can
be obtained from your home DIR &
gists, and are easily mixed by
shaking III I'M we'll in a bottle.
Relief is generally felt from the
first few doses.
This prescription forces the clog
ged-up, inactive kidneys to filter
and strain from the blood the poi
sonous waste matter and uric acid,
which causes rheumatism.
As rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease,
but dangerous to life, this simple
recipe will no doubt be greatly
valued by many sufferers at home,
who should at once prepare the
mixture to get this relief.
1t is said that person who
would take this prescription regu-
larly, dose or two daily. or even
a few times a week, would never
have serious kidney or urinary
or rheumatism.
Cut this out and perserve it.
Good rheumatism prescriptions
which really relive are scarce, in
Iced and when you need it. you
want it badly.
