Fordham Manor Reformed Church
Source: Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary
On September 19, 1923 an informal call was issued to Rev Oliver Paul Barnhill, D.D.., the official call being issued on September 24th 1923, and he was installed as Pastor on October 7, 1923 at P.M. A quotation from the “ Messenger”
“The Church was crowded to the doors, extra seats and benches being brought in, and even then the audience overflowed into the Sunday school room. The choir box was filled to capacity with an excellent chorus.”
“The writer has seldom witnessed a more impressive and inspiring service. Dr. Goodell Sermon was a masterpiece that touched us all profoundly.”
The Single embarrassing moment came when the members of the Church had to be asked to stand. We hope to live down that revelation by the swelling numbers and militant conduct of the coming congregation.
And in the New York Evening Telegram:
“Dr. Barnhill was born in La Grange Kentucky and receiving his early education in the Poplar Grove Academy. He was graduated from Center College, Danville, Ky., in 1900, and from Princeton in 1903. He also studied at Princeton University, where he received his M.A. Before his graduation he was called to be assistant at the Memorial Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, where he had a pastorate of twelve years. In 1916 he became associate pastor of the Marble Collegiate Church, where he remained until this time. Dr. Barnhill has made three trips to Europe and lectured on English History and literature. He has also been a delegate to the Presbyterian Church Organizations and President of the Ministers’ Associations, both of New York and Staten Island. He is a man of exceedingly agreeable personality and will attract many people into this old colonial Church founded in 1696, in a section where the rapid increase in population is creating unusually favorable conditions for Church growth. Dr. Barnhill succeeds the Rev Joseph Merlin Hodson, who was pastor for many Years.
It is easy to understand from the above why the consistory and congregation of the Church believed it to be worth their while and in the best interests of the Church to obtain such a as their pastor. That his salary was more than the Church could afford at the time was well known, but the times were beginning to improve and it was believed that with this man at its head the church would increase its Membership and go forward to greater heights.
The years of Dr. Barnhill’s pastorate were very happy ones. The Worship services Company has passed title on this piece of property, but not on the rest. It all depends on where the fee is. The Mortgage papers are about complete and will be signed fully”
And on November 5, 1928
A Check for $14,829.25 has been received from the Emigrant’s saving Bank.”
This was the remainder of the $20,000.00 loan, after the Collegiate Church Mortgages and all fees for Title, etc has been paid.
The Church buildings were badly in need of repair by this time and by September 23, 1929, the cash from the loan had been reduced to $6,783.31 Not only was the money being rapidly used up, but the Church had the added burden of paying $1000.00 interest every year, and no way of paying the principle except through sale of some of its property. Then came the depression of the 1930s.
On June 8, 1931, Dr. Barnhill reported to the Consistory on having conferred with Mr. Kile regarding the proposed sale of the church property, that Mr. Kile stated appraisals of $125,000.00 to $130,000.00 of the said property had been made.
Mr. Matheson appraised the land as being worth $2,000.00 to $2,500.00 per front foot. Then land values began drop because of the depression.
In the year 1934 Dr. Barnhill died as he had lived, in the faithful performance of his duties, and passing was deeply mourned by the congregation.
Among the papers of Josiah A. Briggs, his family found the following original draft of the Consistory’s Resolution on the Death of Dr. Barnhill.
“On Sunday, March 18, 1934, in Midst of life, and his Ministerial activities, our beloved Pastor Re, the Rev. Oliver Paul Barnhill D.D., was stricken by a heart attack, resulting in sudden death, at the close of an impressive and beautiful Communion Service Conducted by him. The subject of the Sermon was “They Royal Exile” and he closed with the sentence: ‘Oh, what a time it will be for you, when the gate keeper of Heaven Shall say, Take off that rough sandal: the journey’s ended.” Your loved ones died in Christ, you pity them; they really should pity you. You are an exile, far away from home; they are home.’”
“What a wonderful theme for the passing. A deep sense of sorrow and loss pervades the Church and Congregation over the loss of our beloved Pastor who has so faithfully and unselfishly minister unto hus people during the past ten years, not only in the pulpit, but in the Sunday School and other activities of the Church. The Consistory recognizes, and hereby acknowledges its debt of gratitude to Doctor Barnhill and to his dear family for their many acts of kindness and for their devotion to the best interests of his Church and Congregation at all times, during their sojourn with us. His Ministration in the Church and the Sunday School, his genial and kindly nature and his you leave off your Clerkship, is tempered by reflecting that you will still be able to continue as a member.
