Excerpt from The History of the First English Presbyterian Church in Amwell The writer is aware that from the viewpoint of the stranger this History may seem to be burdened with unimportant statements. Be it so. In reply he begs to say that in its production his aim has been to aid a venerable Mother to tell the Story of her life to her children. True, multitudes of these children have obeyed the Master's call to come home; yet there are others who fondly gather within her doors for worship, while vaster numbers of her children and children's children are scattered and settled in nearly every State of the Union. From these scattered children have come to the writer, again and again, requests for just such unim portant facts (but very important to a child), as are here given. His deep regret is, that many of these requests must ever remain unanswered. Conscious of this, and other deficiencies, yet after long and persistent research, he submits this record of. Those whose memories we fondly cherish, along with this venerable Mother Church for which his affection has increased with years of de voted service, with the desire that 'it may awaken a stronger attachment to this Church of Christ, and a gladness like that of the Psalmist, when they say unto us: Let us go into the house of the Lord.
