Excerpt from A Quarter-Century Discourse: Delivered in the Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, on Sunday, November 7, 1858

Let me premise, for the information of fami lies who have but recently united with us, a very concise statement respecting the origin of the church. The merit of proposing the erection of a church on this spot, is due to the late furman leaming. Mr. Learning asso ciated with himself five other gentlemen, viz., Messrs. John stille, of the Second Church, george ralston and james kerr, of the First Church, and william brown and solomon allen, of the Sixth Church. Through the liberality and energy of these six Christian men, the work was accomplished. The cor ner-stone was laid with appropriate cere monies by the late venerable Ashbel Green D.D., on the 8th day of August, 1828. On the 24th of May following, the first sermon was preached in the Lecture-room by the Rev. Derrick C. Lansing, D: D. The building was completed on the 7th of December, 1829, and opened for worship on the ensuing Sabbath.
