Excerpt from Centennial Volume of the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh, Pa: 1784-1844 The whole material has been as carefully edited as seemed necessary for explanation and for the narrative of the centennial celebration, while the editor has not been careful to erase all repetitions. Some have been allowed to remain either as testi monies to the same facts from independent sources, or as improvement of the same incidents in different moral relations.
