The religious denominations in the United States: their history, doctrine, government and statisticsWith a preliminary sketch of Judaism, paganism and Mohammedanism . s finished he was made to feel that hewas the monster, and that he was fearfully and wonderfully is said that he became a very pious and useful member of thechurch; and it is thought that President Davies alludes to this in-stance when he says, I have been the joyful witness of the happy 678 Presbyterians. effects of those four sermons upon sundry thoughtless impenitents andsundry abandoned profligates, who have ever since given good evidenceof a thorough conversion from sin to holiness. One of our most difficult duties in the preparation of this volumeis to tear ourselves away from intensely interesting facts connectedwith the ministers of religion and the progress of the sacred cause. Wepity the man who is yet ignorant of Samuel Davies, Samuel Blair,John Roan, John Rodgers, and a multitude of others of kindred spiritand success; happily, however, the reader who wishes it, can readilyobtain access to innumerable volumes which will do far more than sup-ply our lack of The Old Tennent Church. We are happy in this connection to place before our readers anengraving of what is now called The Old Tennent Church, situated inthe township of Freehold, New Jersey. Here preached William Ten-nent, Brainerd, Whitefield, and a multitude of other eminent men ofthat generation. In size the building is forty feet by sixty, with three entrances onthe larger side. The old oak frame is covered with shingles, which,though in good preservation for their age, confess the wasting assaultsof time and storms. The pulpit is on the north side of the house, im-mediately opposite the central door, so that the minister faces thewidth of the church instead of its length. The pulpit is very narrow,and is surmounted with a sounding board, according to the customs otour fathers. New School. 679 A number of wooden pegs
