Excerpt from A Discourse on the Life and Character of Rev. William R. Dewitt, D. D., Late Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Harrisburg, Pa
At a meeting of the Presbytery of Carlisle, held at Big Spring, October 6, 1818, leave was granted to the congrega tion to prosecute the call before the Presbytery of New York. The call is signed by the four Elders of the Church: Messrs. Samuel weir, moses gilmore, john stoner and william graydon, and by sixty-one other members of the congrega tion. The latest living of those four venerable men, Mr. William graydon, preceded his pastor into the eternal world by over twenty-seven years. Of the remaining Sixty-one signers of the call, but one outlived the youthful pastor. Among them were men who afterwards occupied high posi tions in Civil life, or were called to offices in the Church Chief Justice gibson, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; william findlay and francis R. Shone, Governors of the State; and Messrs. Sloan, agnew, mcjimsey and nielson, who were subsequently ruling Elders in the Church. Of the Board of Trustees then in office - george whitehill, Presi dent, james trimble, Secretary and Treasurer, william mur ray, robert harris, richard M. Crain, william allison and andrew mitchell - not one survives.
The spirit in which the call was accepted by Mr. DE witt was indicated by his letter of acceptance; in which, expressing his reliance on the grace and strength of the Lord Jesus, he besought the earnest prayers of the pious among them, that he might be brought among them'in the fulness of the Gospel of Peace, determined to know nothing but Christ Jesus and him crucified, the power of God and the wisdom of God unto salvation.
