The able and faithful ministry of Doctor Romeyn was attended with more than ordinary success; and the union, zeal, liberality, and attachment to their pastor, manifested by the people of his charge, have been productive of good, even beyond their immediate pale, and are worthy of imitation.

The writer is persuaded, that he is chargeable with no exaggeration, when he asserts, that, all the churches which were once united, have become more flourishing since they were separated; and that, in the period of four years since that event occurred, nearly double the number of members has been added to the aggregate Presbyterian body in New-York, that was ever added to it in a similar period before.
