Excerpt from A History of the First Presbyterian Church of Paterson, New Jersey In 1813 the only church in Paterson was the Old Dutch Church of Totowa. It was built in 1775 and stood on what is now Ryle avenue, south of Matlock street. It was in this church that Presbyterians then residing in Paterson had been accustomed to gather for public worship. Paterson was founded as a city in 1792, and the town was only two years old when Miss Sarah Colt, at the suggestion of her brother, Peter, gathered little children together and formed a Sabbath School. The records of the Sabbath School were destroyed in the fire in the lecture room in 1886, and for its early history we must rely on tradition handed down from one generation to another. The persistent tradition that a Sabbath School was founded in Paterson in 17 94 is upheld by Henry Clay Trumbull's Yale Lectures on the Sab bath School, where we read: A Sunday School was organized at the home of Mr. Thomas Crenshaw, in Hanover County, Va., in 1786. In January, 1791, at Philadelphia, the first Day or Sunday School Society was formed. In 1791 a Sunday School was started in Boston; in 1793 one was started in New York by Katy Ferguson, a colored woman; in 17 94 one was started in Paterson. Robert Raikes opened the first Sunday School at Gloucester, England, in 1780. The school founded in Paterson by Sarah Colt was thus the first in New Jersey and one of the first in the United States.

Excerpt from History of the First Presbyterian Church at Plainfield, New Jersey The Village of Plainfield consisted of only sixty scattered buildings then. There was a stream of rather generous propor tions that made its way from the Scotch Plains notch through the watercourse that is now not much more than a trickling rivulet, by comparison, and which we misname Green Brook. But then it broadened out into a pond that served to store up water power for a grist mill now between Watching Avenue and Somerset Street. This site was surrounded almost entirely by a grove of stately chestnut, oak and elm trees, save for a mossy place where the farmers of the country-side brought their grain to be ground into flour.

Excerpt from History of the First Presbyterian Church, of Ewing, New Jersey: The Substance of a Discourse We cannot live in the past, neither can we change any of its events; but, nevertheless, we may sometimes, perhaps, profitably dwell in thought upon it, and receive instruction and inspiration for present action, while we are pressing on toward some high mark in the future. A glance at the past may stimulate to earnestness at the present, and a beam of light from the shining course of others may cast a bright ness upon our pathway.
