A Brief Historical Sketch Of The First Presbyterian Church In Auburn From The Period Of Its Organization To The Present Time PDF Download

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.
