TRINITY IS PROUD
OF ITS 57-YEAR-
OLD OFFSPRING
Christ Church Was the Harrison
Mission of the Newark
Parish.

A memorable event in the history of
old Trinity Episcopal Church. this city,
and which is of deep interest to
thousands of E-piscopalians in Essex
county and West Hudson. is the fact
tha this week Christ Episcopal parish,
in Harrison, one of the earliest mis-
sions established through the support
of Trinity Church, is just 81 years old,
having been organized in August, 1854.
The present rector of the parish is
the Rev. William J. Tilley.
The mission in Harrison was estab-
lished by Joseph L. Gardner, a teacher
In Trinity Episcopal Sabbath School,
this city. The first session was held at
the home of q Mrs. Lane, at Warren
and Fourth streets, by Mr.. Gardner,
with a class of fifteen scholars. A year
later, through the support of the Misses
Mary and Louisa Rutherford, of East
Newark, and several prominent mem
bers of Trinity Church, a new chapel
was erected at Third and Warren
streets to meet the demands of the
membership. At the conclusion of the
opening service In the little brown
church." as the new edifice was called,
1t was announced that not a cent of
1nQeDLoOueSS bLOOu against II.
For a time the parish was known
officially as st. Martins, but later the
name was changed to the Rutherford
Memorial Church, as g testimonial to
the Misses Rutherford, who had so lib
orally assisted in the promotion of the
building movement.
Trinity Members Again Aid.
During the various changes n i'm
provements the towns of Harrison,
East Newark, Kearny amid Arlington
continued to grow in population, with
the result hat the Memorial Church
soon found itself unable to cope with
the growth of the parish. Again the
good Samaritans of old Trinity Church,
this city, came to the aid of the Har-
rison flock. They comprised Miss Eme-
line Macfaulane, sister-in-law of. the
Rev. Matthew Fl. Henderson, then rec
tor of Trinity; the late Charles L..
clifford, the Misses Ellis, Cortlandt L.,
Parker, George c.. Miller, Theodore
Wood m Frank Harrison. On April
10, 1863, Mr.. Gardner, after a loyal
and successful service of nine years,
retired, and the Pastoral Aid Associa-
ton of Trinity Church took up the
work.
Early in 1883 the need for a more
commodious church building became
imperative and the rector, the Rev.
DIR. Thomas G.. Carver, and the Off
cial board decided to erect a new
church. The present site was secured,
at Cleveland and Fourth n On
Sunday morning, November 20, 1888,
the first service was held in the new
sanctuary, and the Rev. DR.. James Fl.
Eccleston, then rector of Trinity
Church, delivered the dedicatory ad-
dress and renamed the parish Christ
Episcopal.
List of Rectors.
The ~rectors of the parish since 1854
have been the Rev. DR.. Thomas G.
Carver. the Rev, Dr.. John f. Potter
and the present divine, the Rev. DIR.
William ]. Tilley. The school superin-
tendents have been Cortlandt l.. Park
er, Nelson Todd. Robert Sanderson,

Lettres de Cachet.

Lettres de cachet was the name CIV
en- in France TO warrants sealed with
the kings seal ordering persons to be
thrown into prison or exiled The
first came into use about 1910 and
shortly became one OF the popular ter
rors Of France. 1t is said that no less
than 5000 lettres de cachet were is
sued during the reign OF Louis XIV.
and 10000 during the reign Of Louis
XIV. In many cases these terrible doc
uments were secretly sold and used
as a source of Illicit revenue. They
were frequently signed in blank. and
the holder of one of these royal ter
rors could write In the name OF any
person against whom he happened to
have a grudge. The national assem-
bly, abolished this Ubiquitous privilege
of issuing lettres de cachet on Nov. l,
1889.
