At the same time a church was formed, consisting of seven male members, viz" Jonathan Tyng, John Cummings, senior, John Blanchard, Cornelius Waldo, Samuel Warner, Obadiah Perry and Samuel French. John Blanchard and Cornelius Waldo were chosen the first deacons. The following is the Covenant which was adopted in the neighboring churches at that period, and which undoubtedly was adopted here. It is substantially the same as that which was framed for the First Church in Salem, by the associated churches of the colony, in 1629, and promulgated by the General Assembly in 168o, for the use of the colony.

  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

  • 270 English Ancestry of Samuel Hedge the Ancestry of Major John Fenwick and of His Two Wives, Was, for the First Time Fully Pres
    270 English Ancestry of Samuel Hedge ENGLISH ANCESTEY OF SAMUEL HEDGE SON-IN-LAW OF MAJOB JOHN FENWICK OF SALEM COLONY, NEW JEESEY By the REVEREND A. H. HORD, Registrar of the Diocese of Pennsylvania The ancestry of Major John Fenwick and of his two wives, was, for the first time fully presented, with proofs, in The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography* by Edwin Jaquett Sellers of Philadelphia. Major John Fenwick, Founder and Proprietor of Sa- lem Colony, New Jersey, left issue, by his first wife, Elizabeth Covert, three daughters. Of these daughters, Anna Fenwick married Samuel Hedge, who was Sur- veyor General, April 30, 1678; Clerk and Recorder of Fenwick's Colony, and a Member of the New Jersey Assembly, in 1682. The ancestry of Samuel Hedge was recently discovered by the writer, and the evi- dence on which his pedigree is based is as follows: A lady living in Philadelphia, who is a direct de- scendant of Samuel Hedge and his wife, Anna Fen- wick, inherited and now owns a silver spoon2 on the handle of which are engraved the coats-of-arms im- paled of two families. As to these arms nothing was known by the owner, but Mr. Sellers identified one of them as certainly the arms of the Weld family, de- scribed in Burke's "General Armory" as Azure a fess nebule between three crescents ermine. The name of the other family represented in this impalement remained a mystery until sometime later the writer, while looking over the pages of the published '' Calen- dar of Wills, Court of Husting, London,"3 found •XLIX.

  • Canon of the Old Testament
    THE CANON OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, BY TOBIAS MULLEN, Bishop of Erie I, for my part, would not believe the Gospel, unless the authority of the Catholic Church moved me to it.” Saint Augustine, Contra Ep. Man. Fund. 1892 FR PUSTET, Printer to the Holy Apostolic See and the S. Congregation of Rites FR. PUSTET & CO. NEW YORK 2 Preface. “Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1888, by TOBIAS MULLEN, In the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.” Preface. Western Christendom is still infested with the plague of religious controversy, a baneful heritage transmitted to the present age by certain theologians of the sixteenth century. That heritage has in too many instances led long ago to deeds of violence and bloodshed disgraceful not only to all who encouraged them, but particularly so to those forms of religious belief in whose behalf they were perpetrated. Christians, however, convinced that those who sought in that way to force their opinions upon others, were generally unsuccessful; and that any appeal to pains and penalties for such a purpose only exposed the inherent weakness of the cause in support of which it was made, learned at last, while differing in opinion, to practice, if not mutual respect, at least mutual forbearance. As a consequence, religious wars waged for the purpose of maintaining, or suppressing some form of Christian belief have long ceased to embroil with each other the Kingdoms of Europe, or even to affect in any way their mutual relations. There, now, neighbor meets neighbor and discusses the relative merits of their respective creeds, without uttering an offensive or even an unkind word.

    HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES AND DOCUMENTS SOME FINANCIAL RECORDS OF BISHOP MICHAEL O'CONNOR OF PITTSBURGH Raymond H. Schmandt Michael O'Connor lived in Philadelphia from 1838 to While1841, he became acquainted with Mark Anthony Frenaye (1782-1873). 1 A Frenchman born on Santo Domingo, Frenaye had fled that island in 1806 because of the revolutionary upheavals there. After a few years working and traveling in the United States, Mexico, and South America, he settled permanently in Philadelphia. Although indifferent to religion in his youth, he underwent a conver- sion and spent the last forty-five years of his long life in service to the Catholic church as a financial advisor to the bishops and other clergy of the city. He developed an especially close friendship withthe Reverend John Hughes who was then pastor at the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Philadelphia's Catholic cathedral during the 1830s and 1840s ;after his separation from his wife,Frenaye even lived at the cathedral rectory. His financial expertise proved very helpful in the building of the new Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul and in the development of St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, and he was al- ways very generous with his own fortune. Besides being a financial consultant and administrator of several religious funds, Frenaye also performed the tasks of a business agent for his clerical friends, who appreciated his understanding of the commercial and banking world and his willingness to do occasional favors for them. An assortment of Frenaye's papers passed after his death into the possession of the American Catholic Historical Society of Phila- delphia.
