THE BRICK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection A LIVING CHURCH THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS OF THE BRICK CHURCH IN ROCHESTER Edited by G. B. F. HALLOCK AND MAUDE MOTLEY CHAIRMAN of the HISTORICAL COMMITTEE under authority of the Centennial Committee ROCHESTER, N. Y. HENRY CONOLLY COMPANY 1S2< Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection Printed by Henry Conolly Company Rochester, N. Y. Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection Introduction " I wish that every one could have the privilege of reading the original records and of following, with their help, year after year the service rendered by faithful men and women, until death came and trans­ ferred them to the upper courts and their names ceased to appear in the books written by men. " We need go no further than these old records to learn the secret of the Brick Church's wonderful growth and enduring vigor. It is because there were men and women here who loved their church as well as their life, and who felt as much responsibility for its success as the pastor did. It is because the people, as a people, were alert, cordial, enterprising, deter­ mined, courageous, generous, united, all at work and always at it. Their hearts burned with missionary fire, and that God always honors. And above all would the student be impressed with the unusually large number of people who were notable for the sustained devoutness of their spirit and their earnest­ ness in prayer. Not without battle, and labor, and cost, and vigilance are such inheritances as ours in this Brick Church won and passed on to succeeding generations. " Oh, these old tunes! These vanished presences! These silenced voices! These dissolving views that // Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection rise out of the misty past, tremble a moment before our eyes and then return again to nothingness! They are sad because they are past and can never come again. They all speak of human toil and struggle. But somehow the contemplation of them brings a sense of restfulness and peace and even joy. For they tell us of lives well lived, of burdens cheerfully borne, of sacrifices nobly made, and of an abundant entrance into the rest and reward of the righteous. " Is there any better way to live than in vital connection with some good church of the Lord Jesus? Is there any better and more enduring work to do than the work of the Church? Is there any fellow­ ship more blessed than the fellowship of the Lord's house? Oh, blessed are they that dwell in Thy house! " God of our fathers, be Thou our God and the God of our children to the remotest generations. Amen."—Closing words from Sermon by Rev. William R. Taylor, D.D., on the occasion of the observance of the Seventieth Anniversary of the Brick Church. Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection Acknowledgment In presenting this chronicle of the first century of Brick Church history, the editors wish to express their obligation, first and foremost, to Dr. William Rivers Taylor, Pastor Emeritus of the Church, for his painstaking study and research through thirty-five years, during which he recorded innumerable facts and events which would otherwise have been lost or become inaccessible. In recording such items in this history the editors have not hesitated to use Dr. Taylor's exact phraseology, feeling not only that the expression could not be improved, but that the readers of this book would appreciate the opportunity to recognize his characteristic style. Next in importance is our obligation to the files of Brick Church Life, which, through Dr. Taylor's thoughtfulness, have been bound in portable volumes and placed in a convenient and accessible place for reference. The compilers are also indebted to an untold degree to those early chroniclers who set down the important facts, in long hand and with faithfulness to detail. Such men were David Dickey, Louis Chapin, John H. Thompson and Jesse W. Hatch. And some­ what later, officers like Lansing G. Wetmore, Andrew Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection V. Smith, Archibald Calhoun, Charles E. Angle and Winfred J. Smith. We are also greatly obligated to Mr. Charles Sumner Miller, of New York, a former member of the Brick Church, for interesting records concerning the first three pastors, to procure which he studied records of Yale and Princeton Universities, and to Mr. Henry Edwards, of Ballston Spa, N. Y., for a portrait not otherwise obtainable of his grandfather, William James, the first pastor, reproduced in this volume. Also to Mr. William W. Chapin for the picture, reproduced here, of his great-uncle, Rev. Dr. William Wisner, the second pastor. To Mrs. Florence Alt Gibbs sincere thanks are due for her paper on Buildings which was read by her on Historical Night of Centennial Week, and is here amplified by the editors. To Miss Mary Moulthrop, another member of the Brick Church, honor is due for her compilation on the subject of Revivals, prepared for the Centen­ nial, and here published as read on that occasion. We also acknowledge with sincere appreciation all the kind assistance given us by various individuals who have been applied to for dates and items of interest concerning former members. And finally, but by no means least, thanks are due to Mrs. L. B. Blackmer, Miss Ruth Schramm, and Miss Ruth Kenyon, members of Brick Church office force, who by labor and considerate response have made the countless records available for consultation.

LINDSAY 231 Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection Beginnings EARLY ROCHESTER AND THE ORGANIZATION OF THE BRICK CHURCH Shortly after the War of 1812 settlers began to drift from the East and South to the valley of the Genesee. Though not the first settlement in the valley, early plans were laid for a village at the present site of Rochester, near the falls. These plans were well conceived, for in 1817 was incorporated the thriving village of Rochesterville with a population of 331. Among those who came here in search of a home in the fertile valley was Hamlet Scrantom, whose log cabin occupied the present site of Powers Block. It was Mrs. Scrantom, " a woman of faith and prayer," who planned the first religious services in the village. She secured from Jehiel Barnard, who later married her daughter, permission to use the upper story of his tailor shop, a room twenty-two by fourteen feet, on Buffalo Street, for a meeting place. This shop stood on the north side of Main Street East, not far from State Street, a little west of the present entrance to the Reynolds Arcade. Mr. Barnard and Mr. Warren Brown conducted the meetings, the exercises being extempore prayer, singing and the reading of a sermon. Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection 2 A LIVING CHURCH After some months the Rev. Daniel Brown, a Baptist minister of Pittsford, and Rev. Reuben Parmelee, a Presbyterian minister from Victor, came, occasionally, and preached to the people, who then worshipped in a lower room of Mr. Barnard's build­ ing, which place was also in use as a school room. From that time until August, 1815, there was but one place of worship for all denominations—first, Mr.

This Sermon Discussion Guide is only a tool to aid you in meeting the needs of your group. For most groups, there are too many questions to answer in one session together. Give priority to the needs and pace of your group members. While the questions are important, remember your group’s goal is to create an atmosphere that will foster true friendships. Use the discussion questions as you see fit but emphasize the relationships. (Review) A heart after God is defined by these three things: 1. Complete trust and dependence on God 2. A heart of worship 3. A heart that always returns to God [1 Samuel 16:13-14, NIV] 13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah. [1 Samuel 16:14, ESV] Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the Lord tormented him.

The authors hosted a con- cert for Tsar bell and Carillon with the generous support of Meyer Sound and a University of Michigan bicentennial grant. In the concert, the simulated Tsar bell was triggered by the keyboard and perceptually fused with the bourdon of the Baird Carillon on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. 1. INTRODUCTION In 1735 Empress Anna Ivanovna commissioned the giant Tsar Kolokol bell. The bell was cast in an excavated pit then raised into scaffolding for the cooling and engraving process. When the supporting wooden structure caught fire, the bell was doused with water causing the metal to crack.

  • The Sound Imitation of Some National Instruments in Piano Music 7
    The sound imitation of some national instruments in piano music 7 The sound imitation of some national instruments in piano music La imitación sonora de algunos instrumentos nacionales en música de piano. aBSTRACT The article reveals the textural, timbre-dynamic, harmonic, performing and other musical means of imitating the sound of national instruments in piano music. Based on the analysis of literature and works by M. Mussorgsky, S. Rachmaninov, F. Liszt, Wang Jiangzhong, Zhu Wanhua, A. Rudenko, R. Kasimov and other composers, summarizing the performing and pedagogical experience of studying piano works shows the means of implementing various instruments to groups of idiophones, membranophones, chordophones and aerophones according to the instrumental classification of Hornbostel-Sachs. The article shows that onomatopoeia is based not only on the sound image of the primary source instrument, but also on recreating the playing techniques of playing it. At the same time, the traditions of academic art, the achievements of European pianism and the sound capabilities of the piano are actualized. Imitation of the sound of the bell, one of the idiophones, occupies an important place in foreign and domestic music. In the works of Russian composers, various types of Orthodox bells ring out, such as Blagovest, Perebor, Perezvon, and Trezvon. In the works of Chinese composers, the sounds of ancient bianzhong ceremonial bells are displayed. The imitation of a bell is based on the reproduction of its timbre-acoustic characteristics, rich in overtones of a booming sound, long and smoothly dying out, accompanied by other harmonies or figurations, pedalization of the piano. The imitation of string-stringed chordophones is notable for its expressiveness, melodic expressiveness, improvisation, and rich ornamentation.

  • Bridgewater College: the First Hundred Years, 1880-1980 263
    VII The Presidency of Paul Haynes Bowman 1919-1946 The Choice of a New College Head After President John S. Flory informed the college's trustees, in April, 1918, of his desire to be relieved of the responsibilities of his office, the trustees appointed a committee (Hiram G. Miller, Sidney L. Bowman, and John C. Myers) "to seek out and recommend a suitable man" for the presidency of the college, and asked President Flory to work with the committee.1That committee recommended, in June, 1918, Charles Calvert Ellis, vice president of Juniata College and the head of its Department of Education, and the trustees instructed the committee to ascertain whether Dr. Ellis was available for the position.2 Because Dr. Ellis was not available, the committee, on November 12, 1918, recommended, as President Flory's successor, Paul Haynes Bowman,3a Bridgewater College faculty member, professor of Biblical literature and theology since August 1, 1918. In response to being approached on the matter, Professor Bowman stated that he was "in no sense a candidate" for the presidency, but that the position held for him "a tremendous appeal," since it offered "a large opportunity for service." He said he would consider the offer on condition that he first be elected acting president of the college "for a period of one year, more or less," before being considered for the presidency. The college's trustees agreed to that proposition and elected him acting president on November 19, 1918, "he to assume active duties at the end of the present session," and fixed his salary at $1,800 a year.4 Election to the presidency by the college's board of trustees, however, was not enough for Professor Bowman.
