Sinopsis

This book contains a series of sermons that seek to honor the author's 40th anniversary as a pastor of a church in New Jersey. The sermons center around the themes of a pastor longing for the salvation of his people and reflections on the history of the church and the experiences of its members. The book is placed within the greater historical context of the founding of the church, the establishment of Dutch churches in the United States, and the revivals that gave birth to many churches in the region. The author also includes an appendix with background information on the Raritan Church and other Dutch churches with which it has historical ties. These sermons and the historical appendix provide a rich insight into the author's faith, as well as the experiences and beliefs of a religious community over the course of several decades.

The appendix is added to dispose of matter collected through all these years, and which it is thought ought not to be lost. We are indebted to the Historical Discourses of Rev. Dr. Steel and E. T. Corwin for many things relating to New-Brunswick and Millstone. These discourses are almost invaluable. Other friends have aided as they could, and have our thanks. The whole volume is a contribution of the heart to my own people, and generally to the churches in Somerset County.
