Dr. Van Rensselaer.
The following sketch of this estimable
minister is from advanced sheets of the
forth-coming Presbyteriaii, Almanac, by
Joseph M. Wilson:
'CORTLAND VAN RENSSELARR,' D.J4
the son of Hon. Stephen and' Cornelia
Patterson)• Van Rensselaer, was born its
•
Albany, New-York,. May 26, 1808. He
received the very
. .best training in the
scheoli of his. native city, and his' hoine
instruction Was..,of the, first . order... —lie
graduat6l . o"ritli. 0 9' 31 4:,
and onriipelloidlbe study of Law, and In
1880 belwaiedieitted to the bar; previous
to Witch. time h e aving . made a profession of ,
retigion,'the clatirin Of &it' , presented them: .
selves to his mind and heart; the result
hisdedision to atticly for the' ministry.
He entered the Theolomioal Setaitiary at
Prineeton, New-Jersey, in the Autumn'of
1830, wheie he remained for two years ;
he then went to the Union Seminary,' at'
Prince Edward; Va., where he finished hie
course; he was licensed in 1834," 'and'
ordained'in 1886 by West Elanover Preel
bytery, Va. His first; charge 'was a congre:
gation of colored people, mostly slaves, be
longing . .Virginia;s wealthiest
sone, upon whose-plantation the , earliest, if
not the very first house of worship was
erected exclusively tor the colored members
of the Presbyterian Church in the South; ;
and thus among the lowly did this humble
Mall of God first. break the 'of his.
glorious mission ` of pence and good will to ,
Men. Vittidno the African race from the
Chrhitiab — stand-point, he felt that like
hiniself they' were 'the 'talk( children of
Adana, and needed the Gospel, and heeding'
their Macedonian cry he went in and help
them ; it was with this'people that the
in
torests which he always manifested in be
half of the race first developed itself, and
he was their lifelong friend.. •
Soon after his settlement with them, the
influence of worldly men was suoh in the
vicinity of his church, that it was deemed
prudent for him to give up preaching to
the negroes, and remove to another pait'of
the field. In 1837 he organized the First'
Presbyterian church in Burlington, N. J.,
and was installed, its pastor, by Philadel-.,
phis Second Presbytery; this .relation ex:
'god until 1840, 'when it Was dissolved; he
continued to manifest a deep interest in
behalf of this church, though •his enlarged
views of duty prompted him to. engage in
more arduous labors than those of the pas
torate of a -village church.. •
He was an enthusiastic 'friend of edues;
tion, and his active mind and pen were' .
ever on the alert, arousing the Church tO
her privileges and her duty. He efasaeptea'
a proposition to increase the endowment of
the Theological Seminary at 'Princeton,
N. J., and the 'friends of that institution
throughout the land can 'remember' the
zeal, the' industry, and success 'which
crowned his' self-denying labors, and when .
he placed $lOO,OOO in the treasury as the,
result; his - deolinature . of all compensation
was the crowning glory - of a noble contri
bution to the cause he loved' so'*/611—the
cause of Christian Edtioation. '
'' . •
In 1847 he was Sleeted Correaponding
Secretary of the Board' of Education of the
Presbyterian Church. Dr. Hope;•
mediate predecessor; having been eleotg
to a' Professorship in the College of •NeW-
Jersey, at Princeton, N. J. No other field
of usefulness could' have presented so great
a variety 'of sources of Christian' hope 'to
his practieal mind, as the one to whic
an overruling Providence called him'; he
entered into 'it with such an exuberance
of zeal; that the CaliSO of education ranked
among the foremost in the Church. NeVer
idle, he was Soon' far ahead of his contein
%wales, not only in his views of the' re:
ourees of the Church, but the claim's
, hich the rising generation of the world,
td 'upon her for an' education, based upon'
3 Gospel. To awaken the ChutA 'he'
kited the Assemblies, the Synods, and
sbyteries ; but finding that even with ; his
umting zeal he could not.do enough, he
eadished the .Preakyterian „Treasury, a
cia,o publication, which he issued ?ark the
