Excerpt from Justus Falckner: Mystic and Scholar The present year marks the two hundredth anniversary of this ordination, and it is but meet and right that some special notice be taken of this episode, and that the story of this noble missionary should be more widely known how he labored for twenty years in his extended field, reaching from Manhattan to Albany, and East New Jersey to Long Island, until at last he succumbed a martyr to his zeal and duty. Upon this account the writer presents this sketch as a bi-centennial Memorial to that devout pioneer. The foun dation of this story is my chapter on Justus Falckner in the German Pietists. Much new and additional material of greatest importance, however, is presented in the present publication - material gathered at home and abroad at a great cost of time and labor. The finding of the letters from the Swedish pastors and the diploma of ordination signed at the Old Swedish Church, November 24, 1703, now published for the first time, however, amply repaid the writer for his outlay.
