Historical Sketch of the Class "The true heraldry of a College is her sons," says Dr. Chalmers. If so, the escutcheon of old Jefferson is not to be despised Upon it are em blazoned the names of Watson,and McMillan, , and Carnahan , and Wilson, and Wylie, and Hen dricks, and Junkin, and Smith, and Baird, and Kennedy, and Brown, and McGill, and Lowrie, ,et olio nomina Clara et vener .bilia. To speak of these would be to transcend the writer's bounds, his theme being a Sketch of the Class which was graduated in September, 1828. If this class fails to present names that have reached the highest niche among the sons of Jefferson, it presents the names of many good men and true, whose influence has already ex• tended to the ends of the earth. It presents the names of working men, of earnest men, and gen ' erally of men who have acknowledged the claims of God upon their mental resources. When at College they were a hand of brothers ; and since their separation they have entertained a delight ful recollection of that period when they sat at the feet of their lamented President Brown, and Professor Miller, and their only surviving Pro fessor, Smith. Then boys almost beardless, they looked forward-hopefully to the vigor of manhood. They were harnessing themselves for the battle. Now they meet with their heads silvered over with age, to take by the hand their old beloved Professor, Dr. Smith, whose head is less frosted, and whose face is less wrinkled, than some of theirs. Then they read with eyes undimmed, and entered the arena with elastic step; now they bring with them the insignia of age, their eaves and their spectacles. This day, after the lapse of an age, a few of them gather together to inquire of each other what they have been doing for God and their race. 4 0 .0 i 0 I B 'I e .le .d +ll 1? it 'eel dc t' a m .. , le d eth. t , 4 *This 8 AVID titeHINNET, gditot and Proprietoi. would not live alway: I fear not to die, o spread my bright wings, and joyfully fly 'o join the sweet anthems, now sung by the blest, 'bile safe by the side of my Saviour I'd rest. I would not live alway : I know from his Word, There's a bright home for me,, by the side of .my Lord; ,ouglconeeritost sinner, yet; saved by his blood, shall tune my sweet harp to the praise of my God. Before giving a sketch of individuals, let us call up some reminiscences of our College life.. )ur usual place of worship was old Chartiere ahurCh. Dr McMillan was still vicorous, though gaged. His voice, when he became animated, was stentorian. In the days of Summer, Dr. McMil lan preached the sermon in the morning, and Dr. Irown in the afternoon. Our religious exercises 'ere solemn, and at the prayer-meetings on Wed !sally evening, in the "Franklin Hall," Dr. •own exhibited a warmth and an unction in his Idreeses that often melted the listeners to tears. It was while we (the class of 1828,) were at liege, that the memorable struggle was going between the Greeks, and the Turks, their op tessors. Whether it made us better Greek Jeholars, is doubtful. However, if enthusiastic demonstrations are criteria of bravery, could the students of Jefferson have been transported to the seat of war, they would have done great torviee for the descendants of the trove Generals Jontioned in their Greek authors. March 30th, and April 14th, 1827, meetings were held, resolu tions passed, speeches made, and money contrib uted in behalf of the Greeks. On the 24th of December following, the College was beautifully illuminated, on the arrival of the news of the battle of Istavarino, and the destruction of the Turku Egyptian fleet. The d. ath of John Adams and Thomas Jeffer son occurring on the 4th 'Ofluly,. A. D. 1826, just half a century altar the signing of the Decla ration of Independence, afforded_an excellent.op portunity for the exhibition of patriotism. Crape was ordered by the Societies to be worn thirty lays, and the most of the students walked over Washington to listen to an oration on the sub ,ect. In those few years of College life, the ludicrous and the serious, the frivolrous and the important, were strangely commingled. There was the preaching of Adam Payne, (an itinerant,) on the College steps, concerning the size of the bedstead of Og, King of Bashan. And there was the wicked serenadingof our good postmaster. Andrew Munro, on the night of his second marriage, with all. kinds of uncouth and villainous noises, by the rude of our number. We had the visit of Rev. Richard Brown, WI it his Indian; and the mournful casutlity of that'excellent lady, Mrs White, who fell from her horse , on returning from °herders church, and was carried on blankets by the students to her residepc.!, where she soon after died from her Injuries. And who of us has for gotten the great hailstorm of Tune 28d, 1826, which riddled the College windows ? The Col- Elket , h was prepared by the appointment of the Alumni Association, and read at their meeting. August ad, 1868. The Individual histories of those living have been so changed, as to present merely theli most prominent labors since graduating, in the most condensed form; delicacy forbidding the publication of their hlatorim In the form first prepared The old roll of the °lasi was nest called by Aar.

Robert Henry, afterward pastor of the church of Greensburg. presenting the cause, the students organized a Colonization Society. The first Temperance Societies, in this region, on the principle of total abstinence, were also formed during our College life, and it is believed that the Facility and students of Jefferson led the way. • The most exciting times were those of contest. The•weal-and wee of the world seemed suspended on he issue of the long anticipated hoer. And when the verdict was given, what yelll of tri umph burst froth the victors!' But let not in justice be don" to those actors. The caanaLob-, server may have seen but little of promise in ,the pastimes and excitements of thoset inexperienced . young men.

Perhaps no class has evPr enjoyed more social comfort; or been more highly favored with the absence of disease and death in their families. That twenty out of a class of twenty-seven, should be living after a lapse of thirty years, is remarkable. And more remarkable still, that of all the class wbo were married, and whose domestic circum stances are known, five sixths are stillliving with the wives of their youth, with whom they have lived, on an average, a, quarter of a century. More than half of their families are unbroken by death, though some. of these unbroken families number as many as eight or nine children. Well may it be called THE FAVORED CLASS. And more especially so, when they speak in the confidence of friendship, of their sweet homes, of their domestic comforts, their , affectionate and devoted wives, and their obedient and pious chil. dren. To some of their families, it is true, the great Gardener oame and gathered from them his lilies ; but it was to transplant them to a garden that knows no drought, nor froist, nor tempest. Five of the class are believed to have been physicians. Eight studied, and siz practiced law. Eleven became ministers of the Gospel. Two others would have entered the ministry, but for early death. The class numbers one President Judge ; one President of a College; two Professors in Colleges ; six Principals of High Schools and Seminaries ; one Foreign missionary, who has preached in all the four quarters of the globe; and three have worthily received the honorary tide of Doctor of Divinity. The members have generally been edu cators. • The eight that have gone to the spirit land have generally been sustained by the Christian's hope in the dying hour. The gifted intellect of one is in ruins. And only one, so far as known, has stained, by unworthy conduct, tie escutcheon of his Alma Mater, In returning to this hallowed spot after thirty years' absence, we are reminded that since, we parted, one generation of men has passed away. Since thirty years are the average of human life, as m my as the entire population of the globe have gone down to the land of silence. The great Surveyor who , measures, years,. and ages, and centuries, and cycles, has, gone forth with the line of time in his hand. Another stake is set, indi 7 eating an age • and now onward, onward, the chain is stretchiog, the compass, still indicating that our course is toward eternity. The most prominent posts set up along the line of the past, are the tombstones:of cherished,friends. - We find --- ourselves passing rapidly along that line. ."We are growing old."

In presenting individual sketches, the writer desires, on the one hand; that a classmate's par tialities may not give too high a coloring. ; and on the other, that fear of offending the' modesty of those portrayed may not lead him to withhold the meed of honor justly due. Greater brevity than desired is necessary, on account of the short ness of our time. The sketches will be presented in alphabetical order. The facts have been gath ered, partly from the individuals themselves, partly from their acquaintances, and in three in stances, from their wives. What is said by way of commendation, is from the personal knowledge of the writer. Whence our Alma Mater has been accustomed to obtain her students, may be learned from the fact that five of the class were sons of clergymen, and seven are known to have been sons of Ruling Elders; while all whose parentage is known, (eighteen,) were eons of clergymen or of farmers.

Stephen L. Haft was reared in the vicinity of ; Canonsburg. His most remarkable trait, when at College, seemed to be that of humble, shrinking timidity, though his friendships, when formed, were ardent.

He was licensed by the Second Presbytery of Ohio, April 23d, 1835 He was ordained and installed pastor of the united con gregations of Wolf Creek and Sharon, Ohio, April 18th, 1837, where he labored seven years, when his health failing, he resigned his charge.

LOYAL YOUNG After graduating, Mr. Young taught a private school for one year in Serkeley County, Va., and then pursued his . theological `studies in the West ern Theological Seminary for three years. He was licensed by the Presbytery,of Ohio, June 20th, 1832, and ordained by the Presbytery of Allegheny, December 4th, 1888, and installed pas tor of the church of Hotter, Pa, where 'he his labored ever since, (twenty-five years.) • Fifty persons have been added to his church, on exam ination, since the first of January last; the church piirtaking of the general interest now felt in the laud. • And now, fellow-classmates, if God has him ored us with some success, we will ascribe 'it all to his mercy and love Wherein we' have failed, let there be more than. regret.

But when .we find your Testimony," published in 1858, requiring adherence to your profession, or forsaking other commun ions, as the terms permitting •participation in sealing ordinances; together with injuri ous allusions to those who profess to, hold the Confession of Faith common to differ ent branches of the Church, nothing seems to be left for those thus referred.to, but to defend themselves, and by kind, Christian argument, and-prayer, to labor for a refor mation in those who, assuming to be " The Chureh,"separate persons of the same . family connexion, and those who belong to the spiritual family of Christ, from:the commun ion table, _and keep up the divided Chun% of Christ in . such, a light, that the world will not " believe." This`you do in what is called an " Argu ment and Illustration," alleged to he based, first, on the import of part of the twenty sixth chapter of the Confession of Faith. To this ,chapter. I refer all who may read this letter. You have wisely.abandoned the position formerly taken, by-some, in order to Maintain close communion,, viz.:; that "the communion of saints" there described, was not "Church communion! But' yOu have candidly made an admission, which is fatal to all the argument atteropted,on the, au thority of the Confession. It is this, (page 85th) "Now, while fellowship in sealing ordinances is no doubt included in the com munion ins the worship of God' enjoinee in this section "-the : second. It being truly so, and as that section farther declares "which communion as God offereth oppor tunity, is to be extended unto all, those who` In lever) , place 'call Upon the name of the 'Lord Jesus," you are by your own admis• eien,houall up. The language is not, you, may extend; but, ,"is to : be extended.',' To whom? " Unto all tho s e who call upon the name of the' Loid Jeans." are described may be asoertained by consulting the second verse of the first chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians t ,frorn which the - - WentiniMiter -Asseiabli]borrowed. the' phraseology empleyed. .They are there called "them that - are ' sanctified' in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, r iviticill.thatiin 'every place call upon the, name > of Jesus Christ, our Lord." All who give credible evidence of -being Christian§ good: stand ing, ti're to have' ,commurden. Such evi dence as entitles to permaeent fellowship, entitles, "as God effereth opportunity," to occasional communion. The declaration in your Testimony in opposition to your Con fession, says it is not to be' extended " to those who reins° adherence to your Church: Farther the language of , your Confession and ours, says it is to be extended, to each; are described above—in every ivlace. 'The substance of the statement in your argu ment, &LOB, that the Confession taught that " Christians in different lands should , . cultivate toward each other holy fellow ship " Hon , will you reconcile_ this ineon sistency ? Why imply that;Christians in the same couutry should not have as holy fel lowship as thesdistant ? Is it to- sustain a theory of uniformity, started long after the Westminster Assembly, and now. .necessary to be kept up t lest there should be an appa rent want of zeal for the truth, in the eyes of those who have learned to make.mi'such distinction as the Scriptures and Re formers did, as to essential and less import ant truths and .usages ? Bat you.allege (page 30,), that the present practice of intereommunion among. Chili dans living yinthe same 'place and profea sing principles opposed to, each other, was far from their, thoughts. The ",framers of the Confession" were unwilling to extend communion to some such , as you describe--` asheld various, errors; but that des, not prove that like You they would have ; no communion with no other denomination of Christians. Your inferential reasoning from the ob ject for which the, Westminster from_ was called is unfounded. It, was, is ,yOll, say, in one place 44 for l the nearer agreement of the Church of England with, the Chureh of Scotland and, other Reformed Churches." But from this ohjeet-you .-try toreaeon_that_ the twenty-siith chapter pould, not, teach, Ms every common, sense reader,. or. learned in terpreter would say, it does, if unbiased, that there was to be Church communion everywhere amongst all who called upon the name of, the Lord Jeans, in the exercise .of saving faith r Your inference.from the his tory of the acts of the Assembly, is, that they did. not countenance ggintercomtnnnion among . Chriatiansiiiingin the same, place." One' of the,chapters of, uniformity of belief and :practice; which _they established, was that of open communion. Here we are at bine. s Yoni hisfory„.does riot prove your position. The object.'of the 'Westminster Assembly, as ,stated in, the, call, was, that "such, a government might be settled in the Church as should be most agreeable to;God's. holy, Word, and most apt to procure and' preserve the peace of the Church .at hoMe; and nearer agreement with, the Church of Scotland, and other Reformed Churches abroad." A general unity, then,. was the de sign- of this Assembly that met m 1643, and not such as would Occlude all from commun. ion who did not exactly accord with',.them. Again:: that Assembly addressed an offi cial letter in Novenibe,r 30th,11.643, "0 the. Belgiek, French, Helvetian, and' other Re formed Churches." In that letter it is, stated, that: "the,object of the Assembly, was to commend such a platform IP our Zer-. nbbabels as may be:most agreeable to God's sacred Word, nearest;in confirmity the. best Reformed Churches,' and tto ,establisk unity among ourselves."—(Neal., Vol. 2, p. 62.) It was not to eetabliala contracted com munion, such as your . 'Testimony teaches. The Assembly called the -persons to .whom. they yr i zote z r " honored brethren, , ', " dearly beloved in our Lord Jeans ,Christ," , and', would,they not have communed , with, them, - T Hetherington, in hie a Histiitir of ..the Westminster ;Assembly," p. 2'76; Says j 'vc that the robin purpose for which the -Weitinit: ster Assembly, was ealleyttOgether, and. the solemn league, and covenaqt was framed, was to produce, so far , as ~praOccr,yei,unity. of religious,belief r and,..unifermity Church Government thronghont Engl a nd, Scotland, and Ireland."

Let 'any one c'enipare your 'Declaration, which ,I quoted_ in full, inmy .former ; letter , withthe Confession and a principle, in direct '6'ppositictp. to it, is dis tinctly brought to light. - - From your references to the Asseuibly, and the Acts - of the Church of Scotland, you say, " that the communion which, they, en 7 joined, was to have uniformity for its basis." Very true. But what kind of uniformity ? Such as you adopt—uniformity in the use of Rouse's paraphrase of the Psalms, secret Societies, and an actual adherence, such as you, require Dr. Octen who was, well 84 7 quainted with the views and usages of both Independents and Preshyterians, at the time, ' says (in his " Inquiry into the Original; Sze.,' of Evangelical Churches,") , they allowed distinct communion upon, distinct apprehen sion of things belonging to Church order,. or, worship, all keeping " the unity of the Spirit in the bond of 'peace." Here learn' from this eminent •man", that Preakty-` terians of the Assembly, .didmllow commun. iou with the , Independents, though when ; they - came . " formerly to agree in the As., sembly," as to Church, order, they differed. Your uniformity was not required. ' rTheorporate a historical statement`from Dr. Mason, which ought to show you that your close communion ,prineiples were not those of the Assembly. says in , "Plea," p. 273, "It will surprise most of the good poop% who adhere to the -lirest ininster Confession (and well they may,) Reg rare, and perhaps unequalled = exhibition, of sound,-Scriptural dectrine, that the yery • sembly who prepared it, were so far froto fusing communion on account of thelie things which now divide many'precious Christians,. and ~Christian Churches, that notwithstand ' ing all their convictions and : complaints . of the abuses, and corruptions in the ffiscipline,, worship antigovernment' of *the 'Established Chnrch; they nevertheless remained steadily' in her fellowship.; nor did they leave it4tn til they were east out by that - cruel, net for confirmity, which would not allow thetn,,,to, mourn and'submit, but required them alio to approve" of the Episcopal Chttrit This statement, whichtannottbotahmessfullyetog trovertedi ehowslthat , the,;members KC the, Astemit, after which ; you professA9yalih t united in communion with those fiera whom they greatly differed.'
