Excerpt from The History of the First Presbyterian Church, Auburn, N. Y: A Discourse Delivered Sabbath, March 7, 1869, on Leaving the Old Church Previous to Its Removal to Give Place to the New Edifice IT is fifty-two years, the present month, since this house, in which we hold our last reli gions services today, was dedicated to the wor ship of God. This was less than a quarter of a century after the first settlement of the town. The men who took an active part in its erec tion, with two or three exceptions, are gone, from the living. It is the only public build ing in the place that has survived the changes of that period; and scarcely a private dwell ing, which was cotemporary with it, remains. It has been preserved through these event ful years, alike from calamity and desecration and now yields only to the necessities of church growth, which, for some time, it has been in adequate to meet. All familiar with Auburn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The History of the First Presbyterian Church, Auburn, N. Y: A Discourse Delivered on Successive Sabbaths, July 2nd and 9th, 1876, in Accordance With the Recommendation of the General Assembly in the Observance of the Nation's Centennial Neither this church, nor Auburn, with the earliest settlement of which it is identified, has as yet completed its century. One hundred years ago, there was no trace, on this ground, of our present civilization. The only fragment of Revolutionary history which attaches to this vicinity, is connected with the expedi tion under General Sullivan in 1779, planned by Washington himself, in retaliation of repeated massacres by the Indians, among the border settlements of New York and Pennsylvania, and ex sented with relentless vengeance upon the Senecas and Cayugas.
