To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The writer remembers his voice as strong and sonorous, and tliat he delivered his words with measured deliberation. He never failed to state to his auditors two facts. First. That Philadelphia was the place of his birth ; and secondly, that he had heard Independence bell ring on the morning of July 4, 1776. " A call was then given to the Rev. Joshua Williams, who accepted the same, and he was ordained and in- stalled October 2, 1799, Derry to receive two thirds of his time and pay one hundred a...nd twenty pounds, and Paxtang one third and pay sixty pounds. This pas- torate only lasted one year and eight months, ending on the 30th of June, 1801. Mr. Williams seemed to have had trouble collecting his stipends, for we find him complaining to Presbytery, in 1803, about his salary arrears. The moderator was directed to write to these churches and say, " that if these arrearages are not dis- charged before the next meeting of Presbytery, that body would be under the disagreeable necessity of with- holding from them that attention and regard which they pay to churches under their care.
