Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Pittsgrove Baptist Church: Daretown, Salem County, New JerseyThose British Colonials were staunch and true to their convictions, and supported the cause of American freedom with an heroic, self - sacrificing devotion only equalled by their love of soul liberty and the maintenance of those distinctive Gospel truths of One Faith, One Lord, One Baptism.The Pittsgrove Baptist Church life antedates the Revolutionary days, and is a standing witness of the changed conditions so splendidly effected by our forefathers in 17 7 6. The earmarks of the Colonial era are found in the church records, which have been well preserved, notwithstanding the. Fact that Baptist church clerks, as a rule, give so little attention to preserving the records and minutes of our local churches. The splendid re cord of marriages, conversions, baptisms, and the references to those who fell on sleep are as unique as they are authentic and well recorded. The discipline of the church evidently was main tained, the failures and delinquencies of the mem bers were given attention, and commendation ex pressed for the faithful.Should the reader feel that the author uncovers unnecessarily the past doings of the authorities.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
