Excerpt from A Brief Historical Sketch of Wakefield Presbyterian Church and Sunday School: Germantown Avenue, Below Fisher's Lane, Philadelphia, 1856-1910 A majority of our members and adherents having come to us within a few years past are not familiar with this history, and I have thought that not only these, but others who can call Wakefield their old church-home will be pleased to have the narrative in book form. It is well to look backward occasionally over the path we have trodden and retrace our steps that we may refresh our memories of matters and things that have been helpful to us and to others journeying with us, never tarrying long to brood over mistakes and failures, but always contemplating the better things, especially such as have blessed us spiritually. By this we may gather courage and Strength to press cheerfully forward unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask thy father and he will show thee; thy elders and they will tell thee. - Deut. 32 7.
