The New Jersey Sunday School
Association, which will hold it's fifty
sixth annual convention in this GUY,
November 1918, grew out of the re-
vival of 1857 The first statewide
organization had as its president
Theodore F'relinghuysen, represent
tative of the State in the United
States Senate. There was little
knowledge of Sunday schools and no
statistics of such schools in the state,
when the first assembly for organ :
cation met in the Second PrespyIe-
rian Church, of New Brunswick. The
first work was to organize the coun-
ties by means of an arduous course
of correspondence, agitation and dis
trict conferences. Not until 1898,
twenty-five years after the State
organization. were all counties or
ganized, when Mercer came into line,
In the extension of Sunday school
interest and work the Primary Union
of Newark, founded in 1870, has beer
strong factor, though confined
chiefly to one section.
throughout the history of the State
organization there has evolved new
departments and phases of Sunday
school work. In this way came the
departments of instructions with the
summer school of methods in 1894
the publication of State paper, the
New Jersey Sunday School Messen-
ger, and last of all, the institute OF
religious education. Now all the
counties have their superintendent
and working force.
The First Convention.
At the first convention there were
five denominations represented, the
Reformed Dutch Church, as 1t was
then called; the Baptist Methodist,
and Old and New School Presbyte-
rians. The president of the conven-
ton for the purpose of organization
was Governor William A. Newell.
The constitution then adopted re-
mains practically the same today.
The first annual report contains
names of delegates and officers who
were prominent in the affairs of New
Brunswick, Elizabeth, Newark, Or
ange and other cities, but who have
long since died.
The convention, November 1913

town of a few thousand people.
With the expansion of the city the
First Church has grown and through
its Sunday school has eolonized and
planted other schools and missions.
The First Church was practically
the Branford Conn. Congrega-
tional Church, of the New Haven col
ony, moved almost entirely to the
banks of the Passaic, including the
minister. Rev. Abraham Pierson, who
had been pastor in Branford for
