I must quote again from the rec- ord : " Joris Derickson, having, prior to his death, acted as chor- ister, and since then Dominie Selyns having performed the same service." Now, it required no ordinary man to lead in those days, when the people sang with heart and soul the rich old psalmody of the fatherland. As the song bore them along, they were no more strang'ers in a strange land, but at home again, joining in the worship of the great congregations of Rotterdam and the Hague. He was accust...omed to read also a chapter from the Scriptures in the opening of the church services. On communion Sabbaths he also read selections from the Scriptures suitable to the occasion. He was also a zicken-trooster (comforter to the sick); he instructed the children in the Catechism., and officiated at religious meetings, when the minister was away. It seems quite apparent that beside the gifts already stated, he had other high capacities. There are many letters, which were written concerning the controversies of that period, which show great directness and ability.
