Abraham Polhemus, D.D: Late Minister of the North Ref; Dutch Church of Newark; Containing a Brief Biographical Sketch, and a Selection of Dicourses Delivered to His Late Charge The life Of the Christian pastor, whether in town or country, who is exclusively occupied with the duties Of his ministry, is not usually diversified by very striking incidents; it is apt to flow On in an even current. Such was particularly the case with the ministry of Dr. Polhemus at Hopewell. There were periods when the Lord gave testimony to the word of his grace, yet there was at no time a revival of so remarkable a charac ter as to call for a special history of it. Month by month, and year after year, he went out and in among the people of his charge, preaching to them publicly and from house to house, growing in their affections, and having good reason to believe that his labors were not in vain. Though called to mourn the loss of relatives near and dear to him - his father, and anonly sister - his own immediate family was never invaded by death during his residence there. In 1846, he visited Europe, partially with a View to attend the Evangelical Alliance, which met in London in August Of that year. The tour embraced the most interesting portions of England, Scotland, France, and Holland. It is needless to say that he enjoyed it exceedingly, and Often delighted his friends by his graphic accounts of the incidents of travel, humorous or otherwise, and by his lively recollections Of the men whom he met during the sessions of the Alliance.
