"Good Cheer: A Discourse preached in the First Reformed Dutch Church of Philadelphia, May 18, 1862" by Thomas De Witt Talmage, pastor of the Second Reformed Dutch Church in Philadelphia, is commentary on a church dispute that led to a U.S. Supreme Court decree that church members who voted to secede from the church denomination would not have control over the church itself and would not be allowed to appoint their own non-Reformed pastor.
