The Kirk on Rutgers Farm

NEW YORK Fleming H Revell Company 1919


To the Men and Women who gave that the old church might remain at Market and Henry Streets


It is evident that the preparation of this volume has been a labor of love.
Of the sanctuary which, for one hundred years, has stood on the corner of Market and Henry Streets, the author, like many others who have put their lives into it, might well say:
Thy saints take pleasure in her stones,
Her very dust to them is dear.
The story of The Kirk on Rutgers Farm is one of pathetic interest. In its first half-century it sheltered a worshipping congregation of staid Knickerbocker type, which, tho blest with a ministry of extraordinary ability and spiritual power, succumbed to its unfriendly environment and perished.
