Excerpt from A Quarter-Century Discourse: Delivered in the Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, on Sunday, November 7, 1858
Let me premise, for the information of fami lies who have but recently united with us, a very concise statement respecting the origin of the church. The merit of proposing the erection of a church on this spot, is due to the late furman leaming. Mr. Learning asso ciated with himself five other gentlemen, viz., Messrs. John stille, of the Second Church, george ralston and james kerr, of the First Church, and william brown and solomon allen, of the Sixth Church. Through the liberality and energy of these six Christian men, the work was accomplished. The cor ner-stone was laid with appropriate cere monies by the late venerable Ashbel Green D.D., on the 8th day of August, 1828. On the 24th of May following, the first sermon was preached in the Lecture-room by the Rev. Derrick C. Lansing, D: D. The building was completed on the 7th of December, 1829, and opened for worship on the ensuing Sabbath.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a personal recollection of the author's 25 years as a pastor at a specific church in Philadelphia. The author recounts the history of the church including its origins, the construction of the building, and the various pastors who have served the congregation. Although the book focuses on the history of the church and the author's personal experiences, it also touches on the broader religious climate in Philadelphia, particularly the controversy over the establishment of a new presbytery and the Oxford Tract movement. The author explores the challenges and rewards of serving as a pastor in a large city and provides valuable insights into the nature of faith and the role of religion in society. This book will be of particular interest to historians and those interested in the history of religion in Philadelphia, but its insights into the human experience will also appeal to a broader audience.
