Pastor: First Presbyterian Church, Woodbridge, 1816-21
|
Rev. Mills left Woodbridge to assume the post of Professor of Biblical Criticism at Auburn Theological Seminary, where he distinguished himself for 33 years. He was made Professor Emeritus in 1854. A large Sabbath School, said to be the first in New Jersey, was organized while he was pastor. The first three teachers were Sally Potter, Jane Potter and Mrs. Hamiot Paton. Rev. Mills was known as an excellent preacher and a godly gentle man. Henry Mills was an educator. Before his ordination he was principal, in 1802, of Elizabethtown Academy. Dally writes "He was a man of scholarly attainments and the degree of DD was justly bestowed upon him."
