preaching of a long line of devoted and consecrated men, we have been
reminded of the seriousness and awfulness of life, of the sublime meanings
of existence, and the grand ends which it is capable of conserving; where
multitudes have confessed a Saviour found, and have consecrated their souls
to their new found Lord; where doubts have been dispelled, where sorrow has
been assuaged, where grief has found its antidote and the burdened heart
has found relief; where thought has been lifted to new heights of outlook,
and the heart has been enriched with conceptions of God and duty that have
given a new grandeur to existence, where the low horizons of time have been
lifted and pushed outward, till the soul has felt the thrill of a present
eternity. Our heritage has indeed been great in the possession of this old
white Meeting-House.

(Several points Dr. Macnaughtan makes as follows):

In scanning the life that has been lived here during the last hundred
years, I find it, first of all, to have been _a consistent life_. It is a
life that has been true to the great principles of religious truth for
which the name of Presbyterian stands. * * I find, in the second place,
that the life that has been lived here has been _an evangelistic life_. * *
In the third place, it has been an _expansive life_. * * * * Here has been
nourished the mother hive from which has gone forth, to the several
churches in the neighborhood, the men and women who have made these
churches what they are to-day. * * * In the fourth place, it has been _a
beneficent life_. The voices that have rung out from this place have but
one accent--Righteousness.

The Baptist Church is the second of our Morristown churches in point of
age. It was formed August 11, 1752. It was the Rev. Reune Runyon who was
its pastor during those terrible days of the Revolution, when the scourge
of small pox prevailed. All honor to him, for a "brave man and true", as
says our historian,
and the solemn words of God's grand Book, and the faithful 
 sermon of a retentive line of devoted and consecrated men, we have been 
 reminded of the earnestness and awfulness of life, of the sublime meanings 
 of being, and the grand ends which it is adequate to of conserving; where 
 multitudes have confessed a Saviour find, and have consecrated their soul 
 to their new found Lord; where doubts have been dispelled, where sorrow has 
 been assuaged, where grief has rule its antidote and the burdened heart

 life that has been true to the great rationale of religious truth for 
 which the name of Presbyterian stands. * * I find, in the second place,

 In the third place, it has been an _ expansive life _. * * * * Here has been
