TABLET PRESENTATION ADDRESS \n By D. Leroy Reeves. It, indeed, is a great day in the his- J of the Cold Spring Presbyterian j m Church. Perbape.it is not too strong | tl a statement lo say that it is the great. *' eat day in all of her long and glorious j ^ history, a history that is not without its j, . special interest to those of us who were | pi reared in the religious principles ex- j fl ■ pounded from this pulpit. The history | ™ I of this church is rich in, and made bril- jc] liant by the names of the leading men ' n . in every activity of life in lower Cape i " May. And after all, my friends, men ' are the primary factors in history, both | jr p religious and profane. The world's his-tp tory is filled with commanding figury, j men raised up by God in perilous times,* in opportune ages, to fulfill and execute jp I I his divine plana Every nation, every j rl ; state, community and church lias de- ! " . j veloped its noble, pure minded, intol- j ^ leclual giants, who have left an indel- j „ . iblo impress upon their day and gener-(n , ation, even century. •It is to speak of- such a character that l !' 1 was asked to participate in today'a ex- ■ f, t ercises. At the outset I am conscious Jb of an inability to do the man's memory ! • that this occasion demands of us. for J his life's work in the interest of" this , chureli and the people of this community j a i would form a fitting subject for some '■ of the distinguished speakers who are'^' i with us today. j ,, On August 16th, 1829 — please note the 1 1: significance of the day, August 16— V - just 85 years ago to the calendar day, the Rev. Moses Williamson preached his) f 1 first sermon from this pulpit. How thejal t mentioning of the name of that saintly c ; divine thrills those of you who knew ' and loved him in the day of his labor for „ 2 this church, and how his name awakens r '• and revives! memories of its past glories * and conquests. He was the eighth reg. * i, eularlv called and formally installed as , ,t pastor of the "Old Brick" church. In f order to be as brief as possible, as I a e Realize we have a long but interesting j program ahead of us, I will omit the day ' ' year and place of his birth, his colleg- J f iate and theological preparation for the *] s ministry; what led him to Cape May, < the circumstances offbis call to this I ^ pulpit and other interesting information j . concerning liis early career, all of which i may be obtained from ah historical ad- ' dress delivered from this pulpit by the' I -'Rev. Daniel Lawrence Hughes on thej ' • celebration of the 175th anniversary of ' ' the founding of this church; an address f I which I read with more than passing inI forest in searching for some authentic 8 data bearing upon the life of the man • who raised this church to the very zenith of its power, popularity and influ- ' n enee in this community. 1 W>ses Williamson was one of the ' 0 great men of South Jersey. This state, ment cannot be controverted as history has done him the justice to so record liis name. He was preeminently a r leader among men. His personal efforts and influence for nearly SO years " in "the cause of temperance, moralitv. ■education and religion can never ho ful- '» lv estimated. So eminent an authority as the Rev. Daniel T.. Hughes, who knew e him intimately, prononneed him a man of thorough scholarship. sound niety. J deep humilitv and genuine benevolence, nc was eoual to every emergency which " arose, even to the great and varied re- ? st n-.il ilities which his own unceasing g activity created. Not only was Moses ( d Williamson the most eminent, eloquent e and gifted divine of his day in Cape May 'r Cnuntv but he did more for the cause ' '• . >f education than any other single in- < dividual tjf his tiny. He visited the , £ , public schoolsrhp-\fas a member of the ( 8 county board to examine and license t-aehers, he privately prepared studepts ' for college, he even opened a high school i in his own parsonage, and finally, see- j -- ing its urgent necessity, at much effort

and expense, erected the Cold Spring Academv. which was an educational in- ' stitution of the highest standing south 1 qf Rridgetrn | , Moses Williamson was an indefatigable worker, a man of prodigoua and unceasing activity. He knew not the mtaning of the word leisure. With re- ' sps;t lo bis gnat hlirs as a preacher i personally nuld say nothing so ef- , iVctivc. apropos and true as that which . found in the Rev. Mr. Hughe's address. ~Tmi paiagiapl.r-are — weighted — with- 1 'ails and figures, and nop caring to en- ' trust thepi to memory, have made a • tianscript bf them 'which I will with | your permission, read: He not only preached regularly every ' Sabbath morning in the Brick Church, and every Sabbath evening alternately at the Cold "Spring and C«pe Schoolhouses, and also held his regular weekly Thursday evening prayer meetings, but. in addition to all his pastorial work and, funeral sermons, he also extended I hi* labors at stated periods to Fishing I Creek and Green Creek, and afterwards (tahen the occasion demanded it, be went I to (ape Island and preached there on i Tuesday evenings. He .was the first ' | clergyman to establish regular services . at Cape Island. His work being much j blessed he soon saw the necessity of I having a church built there. He immediately set about with energy and perseverance, seeking aid of both residents and visitors and finally succeeded in erecting and dedicating what was . known as "The Visitors' Church." in 1855. He then preached there on regular Sabbaths, as well as Tuesday eve1 iiings. coming often from his appointment at Green Creek on Sabbath after, noon in order to do so. il might remark ; that t lib automobile was unknown tn those days. Then regular services were kept up there ior several years, .both i morning and evening, bv others and him- , self, until the Cape Isiand. Presbyterian Church was organised there* and another building erected ,n 1651. During i. is whole pastorate, which wa. Ore longest but two in West Jersey lo -hurch fellowship, married 250 coup!*s and officiated at 500 funerals. A ' K

record that a mares us. Surely Gere is one person at least in this church this morning who can picture in his or her mind's eve that Godly interpreting the scriptures from pulpit; certainly there are a few aitting in these pews who were united . in marriage by him, and I am sure there | are not a few here who were baptized by .him. . He received my paternal grandinto this church, baptized my 'father, was the clergyman who pro I nounced my father and mother husband and wife, received my mother into this [church, and at this very altar where 1 ' now. stand, he christened me David LcI That mighty, uncasing, tireless work, i it for the uplift of humanity, that God- | soul, who is linked with your i past and with mine, was called to his '"everlasting reward qp October 30. 1880. ' and all that was mortal of him buried | within the shadow of the'housc he loved [best. His final resting place, on the ' right just as you enter the church, is • marked by a monument erected by the ! contributions of the people of this comj munity, through the initiative aad ener!gy of "a saintly woman, a life long eomimunirant of this church, Mrs. Electa | Edmunds. -It was she, I am led to beI lieve. who dictated one of the inseripI tions on his tomb. One is very brief, in ' it is compressed into a single word fbut highly significant and expressive in j its translation. Many times in my early [boyhood 1 have stood in reverent mood 'before that tomb, read that word and then wondered at its meaning. Perhaps j of you hav« had the same exper ienee. It is the first person singular, future tense form of a Latin verb— "rei surgam" is the word — 1 shall rise again. ■ surgaui is wir i -i.e., • ■—

I expressing the dual belief in an immor. ; Itality aiyi a resurrection. The other Vpitaph is terse, trite and true, an epi- , i tome of the man's life— "A faithful pas!tor. a ripe scholar, a wise counsellor, a fond parent and a . true friend." My alear friends, would that my life, at its 1 j close, merit such eulogy, such rich, wor- 1 • testimony at the hands of posterity. 1 I Some friend and patron of this dear ' old church, who was reared in this com- < munity, who was a pupil of Mr. William- > and who must love this church. | whose identity is unknown to me,* lias i deemed it meet and fitting that the ' of the Rev. Moses Williamson '■ should be second to none in the hearts and memories of this congregation, tbat i name should' be plainly visible within the church where he labored so sue- ■ cessfully, so brilliantly and so faithfully for well night a half century. • Therefore, on behalf of this unknown donor, it gives me much pleasure to present to the Board of Trustees of the Spring Presbyterian Church, a tab. let in the lasting memory of the Rev. Williamson. * Captain Eli Edmunds, of Philadd1 ply a. was afterwards prevailed upon to j permit it to be ' told that he was the donor. ,, A MISTAKEN IDEA There are some people who still resort ; drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to overcome colds, nervousness or general debility, and who know that the pure, unadulterated nourishment in Scott'sEmulsion is eminently better, but refrain from taking it because they fear it may lead to excessive fat or obesity. This is a mistaken idea, because Scott's Emulsion first strengthens the bodybefore making flesh Its blood-forming properties aid nature to throw off sickness by building health from its very source, and flesh is formed only by its continued use. Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTT'S. AN EDUCATIONAL SUNDAY;' IDEA A GOOD ONE The recommendation of an (Educational Sunday) is a good one because the value of educational advantage and the worth of an education to the (icople of Apierica cannot be too conspicuously ' preached - from pulpit and platform. It | should form the basis of frequent pub- . references. It should be net forward a* a central national idea and inculcated in the mind of the American youth, imprinted on the minds of their parents and made the chief desderatum of the i people however the race for. wealth and j An educational Sunday might be made an qpportunity for combining the re- . quirements of knowledge with the real. - of religion and a hundred reasons could be advanced to make the obserk vanee one of great and inspiring signifi- | cancf. We hope the clergy of Cape May - will give heed to the commissioner's ' recommendation and that the day may ' be generally devoted to the interests of . education. For Your Plants. Instead of buying expensive lardV nleree for your potted plants, simply paint the ordinary flour pots and sauo I era with a flat oil paint In a color td harmonise with the color scheme of • the room they are It. Flower pots painted a green-blue or a Chinese blue ■ are wonderfully quaint and decoratlva f ~ r • ;

August, 1914. the Clergy and the People of th'c | State of New Jersey: Upon the opening of our schools and I colleges, public and private, during the ' month of September, hundreds of thousands of young people in the State will return to their studies. Though these educational institutions afford i numerous and various means of secur- ' an education many of those enjoy- » the privileges cannot fully tppre- - ciate the provision that is being made " for their training. In order that pupils, teachers, parents . . and citizens may more fully realize the aims and advantages of our educational institutions the clergy of the State ■ are invited to join with their respective . congregations in observing an educa- J i tional Sunday, the thirteenth of SepIn such a service, the opportunities j provided for securing an education might be explained and the value re- " suiting therefrom set forth. The need . of co-operation on the part of parents i and teachers might be emphasized to | . the end that both may endeavor to ] search out and respect the individuality of pupils in the effort to develop tfcose , . habits of mind and traits of character ■ which' distinguish the efficient citizen. I The home, the church, and the school ( | are three great factors in human up- , I li't and development.
