, g - "I t : W 5 l44iiw\ V:-. v- - h J1P1" V:j Rev. Moses Williamson. Among the faithful and beloved p is j 1 it tors of Cape May none,. ever won. or 1 4 -held a wanner plneo iB-lhe-affiv'li.inii of 1 |f the people than did the late Rev. Muses , ' j Williamson, whose speaking likeness i n stands st the head of thi« tnad quale 1 newspaper article. For forty-two rears j ■ j j he was lire beloved shepherd of the I' res- j 1 ; | byterlan fold of Cold Spring, and -in al! } 1 '< that time was to his devoted flock a true i i nnd loving leader, entering Into their j 1 , Joys am! sorrow, as if they had been hia j 1 ii own. as. no doubt, lie fell tlieni lo be, ' so closely was he identified will) Ihe | 1 * daily lives of his people. But we shall-]1 J have more to say of bis character further . 1 j on, and- will proceed to rapidly sketch \ ' 0 his life, as we know.it and have gathered . ' I' from others. Moses Williamson was born near j ■ r Carlisle, Pa^ in 1802. being tbo sixth ■ r son and seventh child of David WUliam- 1 to help all his sons in obtaining a liberal . 1 education. Fire of tliein were trained j for the church and became ultimately | 1 Presbyterian mlnistcJs. The father of this remarkable family lived to the good >_ old age of clghty'years, being able to his ■ last Illness to. take long journeys Of sev. ; eral hundred miles on horseback when* , circumstances demanded it. The lad j J Moses was prepared for college at the 1 1 Hopewell Academy, CarlUle. He of en i: 5 referred, In later years, to the excellent mental discipline of ibis, school. Ho j g made such progress there in the lan. ; guages nnd icierfec as to warrant his j J entry into Dickenson College, from which ; lie was graduated with honors in 1834. | . . When a small lad of sixteen he was con- j verted, and after his collcgriale course j J wa» completed, decided to enter the j ministry, and with that purp «c in view i ° attended a full course of tbreo years at > the Princeton Theological Seminary, tm ] * der the inatruclion of such eminent and J saintly tcacbers as Doctors Alexander e Miller and others, lie was licensed to ■ L preach by ihe Presbytery of Carlisle J April 28, 1828, and immediately after t- began missionary labor in the stales of , Delaware and Maryland- He did not, 'i however, tarry long In these fields bc1 cause of poor health. By the advice of S1" his physician he made his way to Cape May, hoping ' that the sea air would in. prove invigorating to his constitution j, without thinking for a moment (jiat he was on his fray lo the scene of his life * work. It seems that whllelon the jour2 ney down the Delaware by steamer his valise was accidcntly dropped into the river and ibr contents thoroughly soaked. itc content* soaked.

thought it would be impossible to complete the trip, but by the recov. cring of his wardrobe and the persuasion of the Captain he concluded to go on, arriving at the Cape " without further mishap. He often spoke of this incident as a turning point in his life, leading him to "bis eminently useful labors, j firmly believing the hand of Provldei.ce I was In Ibe recovery of his baggage, for . it permitted him to resume Ids journey i which threatened to be abruptly broken ! off. The Sabbath afier his arrrivnl at j the Capo the pastor of the Cold Spring j Fresbytcriin church, Rev. Alvin 11. ] Parker, wanted him to preach, which lie , did. The same day Mr. Parker lendi red j his resignation, and In a few weeks It . was accepted. The session of the clRueh ' Inviled Mr. Williamson to supply the pulpit fbcdbe next six months ; he cepted thVtpll provided be might he permitted to stlend Andover for a course ol study in Hubr.w under the tuition of Professor Moses Stuart. He waa finally aetlled over thu cpngregallon as perman. cut paatorjun July 6. 1831, by the Rover, ends Wm. U McCa la and Samuel Lawrence, Ihus beei .nlng a long career of • usefulness of more than a gene.ation. Before going any furtbvr with the subject of4hJj history wc give a brief sketch of tbe PrHbyle ian cliurcb at Cold Spring, wlih which Mr. Williamson held so long arid tender rclallona. 1 So early as the year 1714 there were some sixty families supporters of Ibe Ooepd, and sixty-four cooimunicanie. 1 An old record t lis us thai the meeting bouse was situated in a very pleasant : and central part of tbe congreg-tion. tbe ' people living around it in compact ori der. nearly all of Ibetn being Preabytcrj lana. Tbe lands occupied as a parsonage were pmchasvd in 1818, and tbe fiist . meeting house erected about tbe 'tame lime. The first settled minister was a Mr. Bradner, who came to Cape May so early as 1715, but staid only three years. After bis removal there was no pa tor i till 17S6, when the Rev. Uughaton Uuges ; was settled over the peop c, remaining. 1 however, only a year, as bu bad a habit I of tippling, aays the old chronicle. From J this till 17.73 Ihcjf were without a a, tiled • pastor, being, ippp led, in the meantime 1 by Rev. Flnley Robins n and others, all J of whose ministrations were crowned - with remarkable sueccs*. In 1743 Rey. j Andrew Hunter, of tireenwlch, organJ lied the society by the appoiulment of it elders, lor It appears mine bad been named till tli'n lime. During the year d 17® Rev. Daniel Lawrenc.- accepted a call and remained pastor till his death in 1 1780. Rev. James WiM, his successor, *" installed paMor in 1771. His nrinUtry was very successful, continuing to Ihe

close of a most useful-life 'In 1780. Ilev. Abljah I)svi6 suceeedtd him in 17S1 and continue tin 1800. when thu Rev. David 1813, Afterward Re*. Isaac Ogderi wati'hcd over the "vineyard, re igning in 1817. Rev. A. 1.1. Pa kcr. Mr. Wiltiaip•on'a Immediate predecessor, f llowgil. I was during hia pastorate in 1823 that the present brick budding was erected -,'ami dedicated airii'a largu and growing ■ pospept before it of great a congregation. Returning to. Mr. Williamson we re-* mark thai tha c'>urcb over which lie hod ' b en providentially called to preside ifna Ihe Oldest in the Presbytery, except one, it having, as heretofore noted, had an existence so early as 1714. It Is now 173 years old, having had as pastors since " ihe resignitretTflf Mr. WllUamToir Tlirr Revercnds Thomas F. Dewing. A, P. Johoson and the i.reseut incumbent, J. L. Lands.. During Mr. Williamson's' . service there were 490 accessions to Ihe r church, there being scarcely- a year but r tnat the Divine benediction rested upon _ , ' his labor in the form of conversioils. , , The first two that gavo Uicir names for , membership were Webster Church and , j Mary Church. In 1810 there were 81 I - muni-arils, and in* nine consecutive . J there was a total of 299 to t-omc i the '-Brick Church." as it is ofien , called . In the years of his pastorate ho , married 250 coup es and officiated al 500 1-! different funeral#. It was a common r saying that In frequent instances he had , j children of his flock, and after. 1 ' wards married them, and In many Instances officiated at the last solemn rites r of burial. lie was ever to his people" a , kind friend that remained wjth ibem in . j fair weather and foul. nnd. in clouds and a j sunshine being ever the same wise counI I at-Ilor and sympathising pastor of his I j people. I While his' principal fields of labor ' fiwere about the old church lie found 1 j lime to prcaclfat stated periods nt.lircen < j Creek. Fisbuig Creek nnd Cape Isiaud. /' grmrtn to establish regular preaching 1 service, which be did in a house lor g r since torn down. His labors were so I j much blessed here that lie thought Uie t ] time had come in an early period of his I work to build a church. By his imlrfa. . tigabie labor among rcsiden's and vie i8 j tors a fine edifice was erected for theui l and others. Here there was for many . years regular services, and not till li e - 1 present society was founded and a' tew <3 1 building creeled were they discontinued, s j It will be remembered that tbe buiidii g r was sold to the Methodists, and is now t used by that denomination for sanctuary - purposes. At Green Creek Mr. William 1 son preached and attended Sunday schooj f once or twice a month- There were si v. > eral of bis people at that place, amoi g 6 them being the lalo Mr. Scth Miller and r members of his family. Sometimes Mr. f Williamson would preach in the alter- , noon, ana then ride all tbe way to tho - Island and hold .services in the evening f of the same day. At Fishing Creek, tod. e there was quite a colony of Presbyterians I that demanded and received a full share a of the pastor's labor in behalf of their e spiritual growth. And thus lived this o good and holy man of God. year brand '• yeai out. It may hn remarked without » fear of contradletmiNfljat one re.ult of e Mr. Williamson's work' at Green Creek I. Is the present handsome little church e-i-' is »!•' '

0 nice that was built long after be had r. fallen asleep, and been gathered with n the Saints in Heaven. '• In HwSunday schools of those dpys T the pupils memorized qnd recited, more j- sc iptu-e verse# than now.jt'ftd It Is one of the recollections of the writer that for '• what lie 'earned wh in Mr. Williamson :e was Ihe past .r of the school he got I lie >r j present of a hook, "Little Henry-'aml his J Barer,* whleh is one of. the souvenirs " | of Hie days when the Sunday reboots 11 j were attended m re by "both old and Si young. The fashion then was lo give '• | for five ver-es of tciipturelreciled a blue ie | Hcket with a Bible verse on it, ai d for !t* I fire of these bits of ^pasteboard a red | ticket could be gotten. When then- had ^ i been e .ough of these collected they were ,c j exchanged forjt hook. Mr. VYIllnnaon ' - j was n these visits to his outside purl h s * | accompanied by his cstiawhle wife, who w i sill, survives him at a'good old age. "f | On one occasion tbere^was qu ite a rerh al !>' i among the people of the Bayslde, many "- wi re Inquiring the way of life, air ong :r- . i lu-m was one who had caressed a lie. "'lid e I" have religious conversation with Mr. Williamson, who was at the lime In Ihe vicinitv lading the meeting*. The G- )ier»m hid Hie desired Interview, and oDe of the fi st questions he asked was II where Cain got bis wife from.it vis 1'" though; by Mr. Will amson that tbe matter of repentance had notgnllcn very rc deep down In Ms soul at yet, or ho would lie have been thinking of something ("sc *- than Cain and the land of Noil. With '8 eharacteri-tlc quiet humor the Rev, rend II I gentleman mrntl ned llie result of tbe Interview, but In no spirit of fault find. ,r- log for 4li same person was later soundly t- converted, and with others had a deep 4C work of grace wrought in the heart. Ind deed those that turneil from darkness to ne light at the time were many, and, some of them have passed to their reward while others are ploildlng along Zlunward. or Of MA Williamson's scholarship a< d ** ability In the leaching profession we can *• only merely mention with Inadequate " words of commendation. If those wli'o ™ liavc been bis pupils could be sunim nnl and tell of their preceptor a better Ida "c could be g- 4ten of the extent of his labor ~J in tbe department of education. Among " his pupils were such men as Daniel L. v' Hughes, Robert Kwlng, James M. Ed.munds, David nughea and David laugh " fin and a small host of olhen who have tB done their beloved teacher's memory great honor. Besides his private teach. Ing lie was for many yrars a member of B the county examining -board forlioen ing :ry public school teachers, having for his I be amociatc I)f. J. F-Lcandng, ol the Court

In all . - matter# rriatlrig to temperance reform i . he was a fal bird advocate.

Moses Williamson was one of , the great men of Cape May county. His 1 labors and Influence here for the space . of half a century in behalf of education. . morality, temperance and religion an s never be fully estimated or forgotten. 8 Their results an only be nica.nire 1 by 8 e entity. In the good Providence of ; God, and by his special grace and Spirit, . Mr. Williamson was well fitted Interccts ually and religiously for his great work. He was a man of thorough scholarship, sound piety, deep humility, and genuine . b -nevulenre; ami was equal to^every l emergency that arose, and to the varied responsibilities tbat rested upon him. 1 shall not pretend here to do moro ~ than (imply to give a t;W personal re- ~ mluiseonces in my arly connecti m with ' him ns one of *ltia pupils and church t ! members, and with these to bestow my of education, not only by visiting occas. ionallv Hie public 'schools in the various r eeighlmrboods, but by aiding some pu- „ plls privately In tlieir studies, and after. J wants Starting a high school at the par. sonage. and finally in crecUng and con- ' dnrting al much expense and effort the ('old Spring Academy. I seemed Inci hied very eady to books and study. ' My parents encouraged me in this propenalty. Having, under my father's , tuition, gone over the elementary Eng'ish branches including some lessons in > Mensuration and .Surveying, 1 was anx- : lous to take up l.atlu and Greek. Mr. Williamson was willing to take me as a • tlrolar with JiucG, and John K. F.Stites. who were beginning theae studies with | him. while he was homed at tfiyir ^ father's. So 1 studied with them. And _ I r member that, after a while, Mr. r W illlamson promised mc a money gift If ■ I would recite well from memory tlsc I wli lc of Ross' Latin Grammar at one lt les on. I did so, and received ray money. , 1 co dinued my studia under his guidk anc afterwards at the parsonage until, j, in my 15lli yar, I left in September in ism t leu in oepiemocr

18- to fur Jefferson College, Canonsburg, But in order lo.be wed b.ilsucuirT ought to tcil my bad acts with my good ones. One of the rules of the school at Ujp pataooage was that no sclinlar iliould ' apeak to another during study hours iithri.it pc mluiun. This rule at one ' lime I violated, and no don' t offensively. ' Mr. Williamson punished me * f ir "it, 1 not hy whipping but by sending mc 1 up gar.-et. Now the garret of the o'd ! paraonag was some forty feel lojg and liad im'hing In It. To Cover my >h ime, ■' "hew n-y eourSga, and act out the old 1 \dam that was still in me, I naughtily [ hopped, skipped and jumped oso: tbe [ i mri garret floor, at the same time fing1 ing those familiar ditties- "Hi ding r di idle, the ca:'s in Ihe fiddle, the row 1 lumped over the moon, the little dog 'auglied to are thcaport, the dish hopped 1 over th; spoon." And "diddle diddle ' dunidea. the eat ran up the pin n tree, lay1 a crown' fetch .hor down, did le r 11, Idle duradrn." Thus I anius- I my. ' -i If la the garret at the expenre of the 'eache- and the scho'ara In tbe school room ob tbe second story uudernath. " until 1 was ordered down. Then Mr. ® \\ illlamson gave me a written note" to my father, and perm ssion lo t kc my * hxtks and go home. I did so with the " best grace I could command. But the 0 rcjiort lo my father waa not of the most ' pleasant kind, so the-ncxt morning after ' giving' mean' adapted leciur.- he bade c me c irry that note be had written lo 1 Sir.
