Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Trinity Church, Trenton: From 1858-1910 Commemoration of the Golden Jubilee of the Parish This historical sketch of Trinity Church owes the fact of its publication to the desire expressed by members of the Congregation to possess in some permanent form the records of the past which the Rector had prepared for delivery on two recent occasions, namely the Tenth Anniversary of his pastorate, February 6, 1910, when he dealt with the events belonging to his own time, and the Golden Jubilee of the Parish, observed October 30 of the same year, when he sketched the period of the previous forty years. A resolution of the Vestry, passed November 10, 1910, requesting the Rector to prepare such a record from material in his possession, and to cause the same to be printed, formally laid the obligation upon him, with the result which follows. For the earlier history the writer has had to depend almost exclusively upon gleanings from formal documents, viz.: the Minute Book of the Vestry and the Parish Register, though he is also indebted for certain facts to the recollections of old parishioners. For the period covered by his own pastorate, the facts at his disposal were obviously many and familiar. He was indeed embarrassed by the wealth of his material. The disproportion between the space given to the first forty years and the last ten is thus to be accounted for, as also the more intimate and personal treatment which the latter period discloses. The compiler of these records ventures to insert in this place the words with which he brought to a close the historical sermon preached in connection with the Golden Jubilee of the Parish: "The history of Trinity Church, as I read it in the official records, is one of constant struggle against financial troubles, of a series of crises and of deliverances, of alternate hope and despair.
