Book Description
Excerpt from History and Directory of Temple Presbyterian Church: Formerly Central Presbyterian Church in the Northern Liberties, Philadelphia The idea of writing this history did not originate with me. By a vote of the Board of Trustees, on the 13th of April, 1868, my name was associated with others on a committee to do a work of this kind. The matter of compiling and writing was left entirely to me. Very soon after this appointment, engagement connected with the building of the "New Church" were quite sufficient to claim all the time I could reasonably give outside of my regular pastoral duties. This will account for the work being delayed until the present time. More recently our Synod took formal action looking towards the preparation of histories of individual churches, and the "Presbyterian Historical Society," through its Secretary, Mr. Samuel Agnew, has been earnest in pressing this subject upon the attention of pastors.
