Excerpt from The Witness of the Church: The Paddock Lectures 1915-16
This Lectureship was founded in 1880, with an endowment of ten thousand dollars, by George A. Jarvis of Brooklyn, moved thereto by gratitude to God for the goodness and mercy that had followed him all the days of his life, and impressed by a deep sense of the good which would, with God"s blessing, grow out of an endowment for the encouragement of "the defence and confirmation of the Gospel" by godly and well-learned men. He named it after his former beloved pastor and ever-endeared friend, Benjamin Henry Paddock, D.D., Bishop of Massachusetts.
The Lecturer is appointed by the Dean of the General Theological Seminary, the Bishop of Massachusetts, the Bishop of Connecticut, and the Bishop of Long Island, and their successors in office, or such of them as may accept such trust, who are designated and constituted The Board of Appointment. He must be an ordained minister in good standing of this Church, or of some Church in communion with it; and shall deliver at such time and place as may be required a Course of Lecture Sermons, in number not less than four nor more than seven. And no previous Lecturer shall be eligible unless at least seven years shall have intervened between the two courses.
