From this field, he was called to take charge of the Presbyterian church of this place, April 16, 1822. Mr. Green was the nephew of the venerable and distinguished Ashbel Green, one of the former Presidents of Princeton College, and author of some valuable theological works. The labors of Mr. Green in the church, as many now living are ready to bear witness, were greatly blessed. The church by his fidelity was greatly enlarged, and many new plans were adopted for its greater efficiency at home and in the foreign fields. He loved the cause of missions, and frequently had young men in his family, boarding or educating them, while they were preparing for the ministry at home or abroad. He was greatly beloved by his brethren in the ministry, and held in high esteem by the executive of all our benevolent boards and directors of our seminary at Princeton. God never blessed him with any children ; but many look up to him as their spiritual father, and many in the congregation bear his honored name. After more than a quarter of a century pastorate here, and marrying the children that he had baptized, and burying nearly all the congregation to whom he preached when he first came among them, alienation and dissatisfaction arose that almost broke his heart. He was dismissed by Bedford Presbytery from this charge, June 25, 1848. A kind providence provided for his faithful servant. The Governor of the State of New York sent him an appointment, previous to his leaving Bedford, to act as chaplain in the State prison at Sing-Sing. Completing his appointment here, his health becoming impaired, he supplied a few churches in Presbytery for a short time; but the time for his departure came and he laid down his commission as a minister of the gospel and resigned his ransomed spirit to God who gave it, in Sing-Sing, September 185 1, and was buried in their beautiful cemetery to await the glorious reward of-the Resurrection Morn.
