Excerpt from History of St. John's Church: Newark The importance of the information contained in the pages of this work may be new to many persons, and hence may atone for imperfections in style. In what belongs to history, however, there can be no claim to originality; and the author who, in obedience to the wishes of the Rev. James P. Poels, the esteemed and beloved Rector of St. John's, has undertaken the work, has not created the facts. The duty of the historian is simply to narrate and not to create events. He should not fabricate history if he could. "The end would not justify the means." He has simply collated some of the many important historical events, placed them on record and endeavored to set them forth with all the interest that attaches to an important narrative, so that his co-religionists into whose possession the History of St. John's Church falls may be inspired by the labors, the privations, the sufferings, the glories and the triumphs of our Fathers in the Faith, to renew allegiance and fealty to Holy Mother Church. With loving hearts let us cherish the memory of our predecessors in the faith, the faithful Priests and the loyal flocks, whose heroic labors in this vineyard, whose privations and sacrifices made it possible, after God, for us to rejoice exceedingly at the progress of Catholicity not alone in this Parish but throughout the State of New Jersey during the last eighty-two years.
