The Meeting was concluded wdth Prayer, & with Thanksgiving to the great head of the Chh, for disposing the Minds of the Church, in so much Love, Harmony and Unanimity, to the Choice of this Officer in this Church — May God direct & incline his heart to com- ply with the Desire of his Brethren, & enable him to discharge the Duties, & "use the Office of a Deacon well"!

A Remark' Aug^* lO*"" I think it uot impropcF to record in this place, with Gratitude, one of the most remarkable, & astonishing Events that has taken place among us, and the most surprizing Deliverance, viz On raising a New frame for a house, two Stories high, & 3 on the back side, (belonging to Cap* Jn° Paty) when they had finished it, it fell all at once, with, between 30 & 40 persons on it, (most of them on the top or highest floor) down to the Ground — but thro the wonderful, and almost miraculous Interposition of God's Provi- dence, not one person kill*^ — tho 21 recieved w^ounds — yet most of them not bad — & but one, whose bones were fractured. May this Instance of divine, signal Salvation make a suitable & lasting Im- pression on the minds of all of us, particularly on those who were Subjects of this great Deliverance !

EXCOMMUNICATION OF JESSE CHURCHILL VOTED, 1798 519 him, but finding that he appears to be more & more obstinate & hardened in his vicious Courses, Therefore this Church, beheving, that by continuing him any longer, as a Member of it, they would incur Sin upon themselves, & thereby expose themselves to the Anger of God, & be in danger of his Judgments, do now, by a Solemn & united Vote, exclude the said Jesse Churchill from all Relation to & Communion with this Chh of Christ, & declare him to be no longer a Member of the Visible Church & Kingdom of Christ — and this Act of y^ Chh [225 ^] is founded upon the word of God, & is done in Obedience (225 to his Command) — which says (speaking of in- corrigible Offenders) " Withdraw from them " — & have no fellow- ship with them — But " let him be unto thee, as an heathen man & a publican." — And as this solemn Sentence of Exclusion, is founded on the Word of God — so it is conformable to the Rule, Custom & Platform of the Congregational Churches in the Land — from the Days of our Ancestors. May the God of all Mercy, follow this solemn transaction with his Blessing — make it a Means of Repentance & Recovery to the Excluded ^ Person — & a warning to all — es- pecially to Professors of Rehgion, that they may hear & fear — & avoid those Sins, & the very Beginnings of them, which are follow^ with such awful Consequences to the Backslider & Impenitent I The Chh, after this, at the same meeting, took the Case of our Sister Rebecca Stephenson under Consideration — (See Page 219 ^) She having sent in her Confession, it was read to the Brethren, but, some of them, not being fully satisfy"^ as to the Fruits of her Re- pentance being sufficiently manifested — it was agreed that the Determination on her Case, be postponed for a time.

I declare (you) him to belong visibly to the sin- ful & woful Kingdom of Satan, the Ruler of the Darkness of this World. I declare (you) him to be a Person, from whom Christians, the follow- ers of our holy Lord are to " withdraw themselves, as from one that walks disorderly." And this just Sentence, now passed upon [you]^ him, by the Church in the Name & by the Authority of Christ, is but a Prelude & Representation of a Sentence, far more dreadful to be passed upon (you) him, in the Day, when the Lord Jesus Christ shall come to judge the world. Except it be prevented by a seasonable Re- pentance — which, may our gracious God, of his infinite Mercy be- stow upon him (you) — for which, let us pour out our Prayers to God on this solemn & mournfuU Occasion! Upon this. Prayer was offered up to God, that this last Step of Discipline, may be blessed as a Means of bringing the Excommuni- cated, to Repentance, & that " his Spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord"! During this Transaction in public, a great & awful Solemnity ap- peared in the Congregation, with many Tears. May it be sanctify^ for the Good of us all — & May those who think they stand take heed lest they fall, & may all who name the Name of Christ, work ^ out their Salvation with fear & Trembling — & fear, lest a Promise being left of entering into his Rest, they sho"^ seem to come short of itl^ 1 The square brackets are in the original. 2 At the top of p.

Jan^ 29*^ The Chh met, according to the above notification, and, after opening the meeting with Prayer, discoursed on several Subjects, conformable to the original Design of these Meetings — on discipline. It appearing that several of the members, had, of late, walked unbecoming their christian Character & Profession — & that, in such instances as are known to the world, & become matter of comon Report, the^ Chh thought it their Duty to make more particular Inquiry into them — And accordingly, Voted that Deacons Crombie & Spooner be a Committee to go & enquire into the Report of our Sister Bethiah Howard's Intemperance in the use of Strong Drink, & violent, passionate Speeches & behavior.

At this Meeting, the Clih also Voted, that Deacon Bishop & Br* Solomon Churchill, be a Committee to go & talk with our Brethren John Carver & Lemuel Bradford, respecting their playing at Cards, in a public place, before several, who were not of the Chh, (& who ex- press^ their surprize at such Conduct in Members of the Church).

Viz, That, with Respect to our Sister Bethiah Howard, She denies the Charge of Intemperance, wholly. But acknowledges rash, passionate Language, which she is too much addicted to, con- fesses her Sin in this regard, & desires to be humbled for it & asks forgiveness of God & her Brethren. With respect to M" Morton (once Boies,) They discours^ with her also, & Report that she, likewise deny'd y® Charge of Intemper- ance, & persists in it. As to the charge of casting Contempt on y« Chh, (as mention'd above) it appear'^, that it seem** to arise, not from obstinacy, but rather from ignorance of her Duty in that Case. The other Comittee also report. That, with respect to our Brother John Carver, He confess** his Crime, as charg'd against him — was now convinC* it was wrong, sinful & dishonouring to God & his Profession — appeard penitent, beg'd forglvness of God & the Chh, & promiss^ by divine Aid, to walk more Cautiously, & cu*cumspectly for the future, & hoped he should give no Occasion of Grief to his Brethren, or bring any further Reproach on Religion by his Mis- conduct. [3] 1799 Chh Records And with respect to our Brother Lemuel Bradford, the Committee report, that having conversed with him, he acknowledged the Fact charged against him — that he did not, at the time of it, reflect so much upon it or think it so great an Evil — that he was drawn in to it — & was ignorant of the explicit Vote of this Chh against play- ing Cards, (having lived out of town for some years) but, that had he known what he now does, he sho<* not have comply'' — he own'd he did it, thro the Temptation of Satan, & his own wicked heart, k is sorry. VARIOUS MEMBERS DISCIPLINED, 1799 537 With respect to the last — viz, the Case of our brother David Lothrop, he appeared exceedingly penitent & humble acknowledged his Sin, & with Tears confessed & desired to be humble before God & Man, for the Wound bro't hereby on Religion — aks*^ forgivness of God & his Brethren, & hop'd, thro divine Assistance, he should hereafter, w^alk humbly and circumspectly, & give no further occa- sion of Stumbling, to any. Whereupon, the Chh, upon further deliberation & Conversation on each Case, Seperately — Came to the following Votes. Voted — viz. That this Chli is not satisfied with the Report, re- specting our Sister Howard, as to her Denial of y® Chh of Intemper- ance, & her positive declaration of innocency herein, as there have been so many Circumstances, in time past, which give too much reason to believe she is guilty. — And that she be desired to with- draw herself from special Ordinances, untill she shall upon Re- flection, give further proof, & more satisfactory Evidence of her Innocence, or entire Reformation. Voted, That this Chh are also dissatisfied with the Report respect- ing our Sister Morton — for the same reason as the above, viz her positive Denial of Intemperance, when there has been such evidence of her having been guilty — & therefore that she be desired to with- draw herself from Comunion, till she give shall, by her fruits, & ac- knowledgment, give Satisfaction. — That, as to other Charge against her, of Contempt &c. the Church overlook & forgive it, on the ground before mention"^ viz Ignorance [4] 1799 Feb' Chh Records Next, With respect to our Brother John Carver, the Chh Voted, that, as he freely acknowledges, & appears to be humble for his Sin, voted he is forgiven, & restored again to Christian Charity.

Also — Voted, (our Brother David Lothrop being present at this meeting, & confirming all that the Comittee reported) That the Chh freely forgive, & recieve him to Christian Charity. Finally, Voted that the same CoWiittees who discours^ with these voted persons, go & inform them of the doings of the Chm-ch at this Meet- ing — & give to each, such solemn, faithful, tender & christian Counsel & Admonition, as their respective Cases appear to call for.

Governed by these principles & looking to Heaven for assistance I have been enabled to satisfy my self as to the Path of duty. Whatever Objections therefore may have arison from the Greatness of the Charge, from the consequent burden of Duty that would devolve upon me, from an apprehension of my own msufiSciency or from want of perfect satisfaction, cordiality & Union in the Church, which is the greatest of All, Yet after takeing into View the destitute Scituation of the Society, the Consequences Which Might follow from a negative Answer, the hope & prospect of usefullness, arriseing from the Union, harmony and affection of so large a portion of this numerous assembly; while I trace, & Sure I am that I can, the^ overruling hand of Providence in everry Stage of the business, beholding, as it were, the finger of the Almighty pointing out the flock — I cannot but declare in this publick and Solemn manner my CherfuU & Cordial acceptance of the invitation to be your pastor, relying on that Almighty being who has made me Un- worthy as I am, the Instrument of Uniting^ you thus far,^ still to prosper my exertions, in his Service, to bless and Guide me® with his ^ Altered from " inferiour." 2 Written above "to," crossed out.

They said they had noth- ing further in view by inserting the above clause, than that the re- moval of relations from one chh to the other in future be regulated according to the usual practice of this, & other congregational churches in N. England. They also relinquished their pretended claims to the chh. furniture, being convinced, that, as it was given to the first Chh. the present members were not exclusively entitled to it, &, therefore, had no right to the disposal of it. They asked only for the privilege of using it a certain time, till ^ it was con- venient [14 ^] for them to furnish their own table.

Plymouth Oct. 11. 1802 Dear Sir, I return herewith the first Volume of Church Records, with which you lately favored me for perusal. Accept my acknowledgments for the in- dulgence. I have read a considerable portion of the Book, & with a great degree of satisfaction. It is a precious morsel of antiquity; & one cannot peruse it without feeling solicitous, that it may be preserved from the possible fatality of accident, or the Slow, but sure, ravages of time. The Ecclesiastical History &c. penned by Secretary Morton, would be a suitable appendege to his New England's Memorial, which has been long out of print, & would, I am persuaded be very acceptable to the public in a New Edition. The present generation is at that distance from the founders of New England, that it has become interesting to trace the first lines of their History; &, if I am not greatly deceived in respect to the public taste, these plain & venerable originals would be generally & highly acceptable. Feeling a strong desire to have the work accomplished, which I have suggested, it would [18] be gratifying to me to be indulged with the use of these Records for that purpose, & I would cheerfully consent, that the entire profits of the proposed pub- lication should be accounted for to the Precinct to constitute part of a fund for the maintenance of the ministry therein.^ I am, Sir, respectfully & with great regard Your obed* Serv* Jno Davis Rev.

The chh. then proceeded to take into consideration the case of Rebecca Stephenson, who several years before had been suspended from special ordinances on account of lascivious & criminal be- havior. The chh, after due deliberation, finding that "she was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse," Voted, That, in consequence of her notoriously abandoned con- duct, for the sake of the honor of religion & the purity & safety of the chh, at the expiration of three months if no appearance of reforma- tion should take place,^ she be excommunicated from this clili.

The case of Bethiah Howard was also posponed, for further evidence, [20] & brother Lem' Drew appomted to make the mquiry. Then Proceeded to the consideration of the request of brother John Kempton to be dismissed from this chh, & recommended to the 3*^ clili. This request appearing to have been the result of misrepre- sentation & false ^ mformation on a mind greatly impaired & de- bilitated by the mfirmities of old age, &, therefore,^ not ^ an act of his own, the chh. conceived it to be expedient previous to giving him a dismission to choose a committee to wait on him, & inquire into the real grounds of the application. It was then Voted — That Dea. Crombie & dea. Spooner with our brother Ichabud Morton be this committee. The meeting was then ad- journed to 6 the 23 d of July, at 4 oclock. P.M. July 15.

Voted that he be dismissed from his special relation to the first chh, & recommended to the third. July 23 "^ Met agreeably to a previous adjournment, and, after opening the meeting by prayer, proceeded ^ to the consideration of the case of Rebecca Stevenson. On making particular inquiry into her conduct & behavior of late it appeared that there were at least some symtoms of penitence & amendment. The chh, willing to encourage the least appearance of reformation, & thinking that further forbearance ^ might be a mean of stimulating her to a change of conduct, Voted that they would still postpone her excommunica- tion until the next semiannual meeting, which will be the first tues- day in August. Brother Lem' Drew & D' Cotton were appointed a committee to give her this information. As to the case of Bethiah Howard, on inquiry it was found, that her behavior of late was more examplary, & that there was reason at least to hope that her future good conduct would prove that she was intirely reformed.

[22] Continued Read to the chh. the following request. The subscribers take the hberty to represent to the Rev. Pastor & brethren of the 1'* chh. of Christ in Plymouth, that for several years past we have been members of regular standing in the Episcopal chh.; but being providentially situated at a considerable distance from their place of assembling, we are unhappily deprived of the privilege of par- ticipating with them in the ordinance of the Ld's supper. While we unite with your assembly in public worship our minds are deeply affected with grief & concern, that we cannot enjoy with our christian friends the benefits of that sacred ordinance instituted by our common Savior. Acknowledging the same Lord & Master with yourselves, & grounding our faith & hope on the same crusified Redeemer for Salvation we are compelled from a sense of religious duty to express to you our most earnest desire to be admitted to a communion with you in the celebra- tion of the death of our great Redeemer. Your complyance with this our request will afford great comfort & satisfaction to our minds, & we engage to conform to such conditions & to subject ourselves to such rules of discipline as you may deem proper consistently with our con- nexion with the particular chh. to wh. we belong.

Mr Frothing- ham of Saugus, Rev. j\Ir Davis of Wellfleet, & ^ The Pastor of this Chh with their delegates. Mr Richardson of Hingham was not present.

Agreeably to notice the preceeding sabbath, the brethren of the Chli, met at the house of the pastor. Opened the meetmg by prayer for divine direction & blessing. A proposition was then made to the Chh. to know whether at this time they would come to the choice of a Deacon to supply the place made vacant by the death of Dea'^ Crombie. After deliberation it was voted to postpone to a future^ meeting filling this vacancy in order by inquiry & consultation it may be done with the greatest possible harmony & unanimity. The subject of brother Benj" Whiting's irregularity & intemper- ance was then taken up. And it appeared that several brethren of the chh, had repeatedly conversed with him on this painful subject, [39] and had endeavoured to impress on his mind the injury he was doing himself & his family, the wound he was giving to religion, the dishonor he was bringing upon his profession, & the grief he had^ occasioned his brethren. And urged the necessity & importance of a speedy reformation. It appeared also that the pastor had wnritten him to the same effect; but that no evidence had been given of such reformation, but the contrary. It was, therefore. Voted, that a Committee of two of the brethren be appointed to visit him, & further to remonstrate with him, on the subject of his intemperance, & urge every possible motive to effect his reformation. And that Brother W^ P. Ripley & brother I. ]Morton be of this committee.

Mr Leonard of Marshfield expressed the fellowship of the Clilis. and the Rev. Mr Riclimond of Halafax made the concluding Prayer. 1818 Jan. 25. Stayed the chh, after divine service, and communi- cated - to them the request of Sarah Bartlett, the wife of Freeman B. to be dismissed from her special relation to this clih, & recom- mended to the third Chh, in Plymouth. But not feeling satisfied with her reasons for this request, & not entirely with her conduct, in absenting herself from communion, when able to attend worship in another society in town, it was Voted, to postpone the consideration of her request until the first tuesday in ^ February, to wh, time the meeting was adjourned. Feb. 3. Met agreeable to adjournment; after opening the meet- ing by prayer for divine guidance & direction; the request of S. Bartlett was again deliberated upon; And it was deemed expedient to choose a committee to wait upon her, & ascertain the precise grounds of her request. Accordingly it was voted. That the Pastor, Dea"^ Drew, & brother W"^ P. Ripley be of this committee. The meeting was then dissolved, being concluded with prayer. [41] March 5. — The Chh, met agreeably to notice given the pre- ceeding sabbath. After opening the meeting by prayer, the Com- mittee appointed for the purpose informed the Chh, that they had an interview with Sarah Bartlett; & that there appeared to be a general dissatisfaction in her mind both towards the Pastor & Chh; but that this dissatisfaction in their opinion was occasioned more by the interference of others connected with her own infirmities (being very deaf) than any true & reasonable grounds. But that there ap- peared to be no hope of doing away these prejudices so as to satisfy her with remaining in connection with this Chh. There being some peculiarities in the case, & it being deemed improper & irregular to give her a dismission & recommendation under existing circumstances — & not having made up their minds with respect to the proper course * to be taken — it was voted to adjourn the meeting until ^ Here something is crossed out. * Altered from " commimicating." 8 Here a word is crossed out. * Here "of" is crossed out. 566 PLYMOUTH CHURCH RECORDS: VOLUME III monday next, March the 9*^, with a view in the first place of making choice of a Dea° to fill the place made vacant by the death of Dea" Crombie. March 9*'* The brethren met agreeably to adjournment. After opening the meeting & addressing the throne of grace for divine guidance & direction, it was voted that the Chh at this time make a choice of a Dea'' to fill the ofiBce made vacant by the death of Dea"* Crombie. On collecting & counting the votes it appeared that brother William P. Ripley was unanimously chosen. May a divine blessing follow this solemn transaction, conducted with so much unanimity and harmony by the brethren. [42] The case of Mrs Bartlett was then taken up. After due & mature deliberation, it was Voted unanimously as the first proper step to be taken in this case, that she be requested to make a written acknowl- edgement to the Chh, for her irregular and improper conduct in absenting herself not ^ only from public worship, but from the Lord's table, at a time when she was able to attend public worship at another Society in town equally distant, & before she had applyed for a dismission & recommendation.^ In order to avoid perplexity & embarrassment on any future application of this kind, & to prevent being pressed for a hasty de- cision by any particular regulation of any other Chh. it was voted to adopt the following as a rule of proceeding. That on appli- cation being made for a dismission from this Clih, with a view to join some other Chh, that the Church will grant a dismission only, unless the distance of removal be so great as to render it neces- sary and proper that a recommendation be added for the purpose of giving information respecting the character of the applicant. [It was understood that this rule was not to apply to the case of ]\Irs Bartlett.] ^ Sally Kendall, the wife of the Pastor of this Chh, being dismissed from the Chh, in Templeton & recommended to our christian fel- lowship & communion, it was unanimously Voted that she be ad- mitted as a member in regular standing & in full Communion with 1 Written over a word erased. 2 Written over some words erased, and followed by some words also erased, probably "step to be taken with respect to her."

At a meeting of the Chh, immediately after divine service — informed the brethren that Sarah Bartlett declined ac- knowledging any irregularity or impropriety of conduct in absenting herself from the Communion as stated at a former meeting, because she did not feel conscious of any; and requested, if the Clih, could not consistently give her a recommendation, that they would grant her a dismission without it. The brethren, tho' satisfied that her con- duct in this respect was irregular & improper, were nevertheless willing to comply with her request as far as they could consistently, choosing rather to dismiss her, than to detain her contrary to her desire. Accordingly it was Voted, that Sarah Bartlett, the Wife of Freeman Bartlett, at her particular request, be dismissed from her special relation to this Clih. ■with a view to connect herself with the third Clih. in Ply. Nov. 29. Stayed the chh, after divine service, & communicated to the brethren a letter from Mary Clark, expressive of her sense of the irregularity & impropriety of her conduct in absenting from their Communion & worship without a regular application for her dis- mission from the chh. & asking the brethren to forgive her & con- sider in regular standing, as her conduct in this particular resulted from want of consideration rather than an intention to give offence or violated her covenant. The Chh, Voted, in consideration of this ^ acknowledgment [44] to forgive her, & consider in regidar standing. This acknowledgment was accompanied by a request to be dismissed from her special relation to this chh, with a view to join the Chh, in Eel River. But the consideration of this request was postponed to a future meeting of the Chh. Dec. 6. ^ Stayed the Chh after service with a view to take up the subject of Mary Clark's request.

To the Fall River Unitarian Society — Christlan Brethren, I have received an Invitation from the First Parish in Plymouth, to become Associate Pastor with Rev. Dr Kendall, their present Minister. For some time past, and especially within the last two months, I have thought that the circumstances of our Society here were such as to make it my duty soon to ask, that the connexion between us might be dissolved. Indeed, I had determined, before any proposition was made to me to go elsewhere, unless some entire change should take place in the condition and prospects of the society, to make that request very soon. Such being the case, I thought it right to say to the people of Plymouth, when that question was put to me, that there would be no improper interference on their part in giving me a Call to come among them. And I now feel it to be right, and for the best, to ask that ^ our connexion may be dissolved, in order that I may accept their Call. 1 Altered from " invitted." 2 The word "Attest" is erased before "Pastor." ' Here "the" is crossed out. GEORGE WARE BRIGGS DISMISSED FROM FALL RIVER, 1837 593 It is with regret that I make this request. I regret to have such a bond broken, as has united us. There has been no discord between us. You gave me a kind and hearty welcome among you, when wholly in- experienced in the duties of my profession. And notwithstanding the many imperfections, as far as I know, the same kind feeling has always [82] continued. From my heart I thank you. And let me assure you, my brethren, that wherever Providence may direct my steps, I shall remember with interest this scene of my early labours, and the many friends I have found here. And my earnest prayer is, that the seed, which I have sown In weakness, may be raised in power — and that however wide apart our paths in life may be, they may bring us all at last, to the unbroken union of the pure in the better world. Very truly your friend & brother, George W. Briggs. Fall River, Nov. 14. 1837. Dear Sir, At a meeting of the unitarian Society, on the evening of the 10*^ inst, a letter from you to the society was read, in which you request that the connection ^ now existing between yourself and the society may be dissolved. The undersigned were directed by a Vote of the society to reply to your communication, and to desire you to name the time when you wish the connection to cease. We take the liberty to add, that the pain we feel at parting with you, who in an eminent degree have won our respect, esteem, and love, pervades the whole society; and, perhaps, more than ever do we deplore that situation [83] in our circumstances and condition, which deter- mined you to request a dissolution of those bonds, by which we are united. — But it affords us some relief that our parting is not caused by any discord between us, and will tend to your pecuniary benefit and, we trust, happiness. That such may be the result of the separation, which must soon take place; that a more deserved success may attend your future labours; and that our common Father may ever guard, protect, and bless you, and all dependent on you — is the prayer we all devoutly offer.

Mr Briggs' answer to the Invitation of the First Congrega- tional Chh, & Society in Plymouth. Fall River Nov. 15*^ 1837. To the members of the First Parish in Plymouth: — Christian Brethren, I have received your invitation to become Associate Minister with the Rev. Dr. Kendall. This whole movement, my Brethren, seems to me to have been directed by the finger of Providence. I came among you at my last visit apparently by accident, and without the slightest dream of the present result. Your xmanimous approbation and desire for me to come among [84] you, under such circumstances, has filled me with gratitude and surprize. I know not why your hearts have been thus timied towards me. Still I think, that Providence directs me to accept your kind invitation. In the hope that this new connection may be blessed, tho' still with many apprehensions as to my own power of serving you, I do, therefore, accept it. The little experience, which I have had in the office of a christian Minister, has increased, rather than diminished, my sense of its im- portance. Each successive year indeed has made me reverence that office more, and pressed more deeply upon my heart a conviction of my incompetency to fill it worthily. But, my Brethren, I will do what I can. I trust in your readiness to look with kindness and sympathy upon the efforts I may be able to make. You have called me to a place rich in stirring associations — to " holy Ground." I trust I may obtain guidance and inspiration by walk- ing in the Hght of the bright example of the sainted dead, who have dwelt there — and of the beloved living, now in your midst. I trust to that Providence wh, gives the needed strength to the seeking spirit, and which permits no earnest effort in the cause of truth and righteous- ness to be made in vain. [85] With fervent prayers for your continued prosperity, my Brethren, I am respectfully and affectionately Yours Geo. W. Briggs The Churches invited to compose the Council for the Installation of the Rev. George Ware Briggs as Associate Minister with the Rev.

[98] Plymouth, Dec. 22^ 1852 To the Parish Committee — of the First Parish in Plymouth : — Christian Friends — It is known to you, that the First Congregational Society in Salem invited me in Aug* last to become their Minister. At that time I gave a negative answer to their invitation. My refusal, however, was based upon reasons, which do not now exist, in the changes, which have since occurred. And, during the laste week, the Society has unanimously renewed its Original invitation. For the last six Years the question of remaining in Plymouth has frequently been presented to my Mind. For a great variety of reasons I have found myseU constantly tending towards the conclusion, that it would be better for me to enter some other field of labor — and better for the Parish to have some other Minister. In two or three instances, in which the decision for the time depended upon some contingency in the Parish — I have presented the question to you. But I thought last year, that, until the result should become clear to my own ^ con- victions, I would not again mention the subject to you. It seemed more proper for me — more just to you, — not to raise the question again, until I could communicate my own sincere and deliberate conclusion. I trust, therefore, that you will understand and excuse the apparent abruptness of my communication to you — when I now resign my connection with the Parish as its Junior Minister. To avoid miscon- ception in one particular — let me say, that my resignation has no connection, in any form — with pecuniary considerations. I have never asked nor wished — [see 100 page] ^ [99] Chh.

KESIGNATION OF GEORGE WARE BRIGGS, 1852 603 brethren present — it was deemed expedient further to adjourn the meeting until the evening of the 13*^ inst. for the purpose of filling the vacancies in the office of Deacon of the Chh. — occasioned by death or otherwise; Notice to be given of the meeting — with a request for the attendance of all the members of the Chh. — from the pulpit — on the sabbath previous to the Meeting — being the 13*^ inst. March 13*'' Met agreeable to the above Notice at the House of the Pastor; and after opening the Meeting as usual by prayer — proceeded to make arrangements for filling the vacancies in the office of Deacon. The names of the following brethren were proposed by a Committee, appointed for the purpose as suitable persons for this office Viz. ]\ir W"" S. Russell and Mr. Thomas Russell. These brethren^ were unanimously chosen to fill the vacancy. Mr W°» S. Russell — Mary H. Russell — and Lydia M. Kendall — were appointed a Committee to make arrangements in connexion with the Parish for laying a foundation for a Parish Library. [100] that^ the Parish should do more for me. I am most grateful that they have done so much. I never expect to find warmer or truer friends, than I found in Plymouth. The confidence of so many steadfast friends tln-ough the experience and agitations of fifteen years — I shall never forget wherever I may be. Perhaps, I may have to rely upon that confidence now — in doing what I do, when the reason for it cannot seem so clear to others as to myself. Still I hope that as we have lived in mutual trust hitherto, we may preserve the same un- broken confidence; and that the simple fact of my going away will not affect or ^ change the feeling — which has hitherto known no change. In regard to the exact time at which my resignation shall take effect — I shall wish for your judgment.* Had the question been presented a little sooner, I should have proposed the close of this year. As I came here the beginning of the year and as every arrangement in reference to myself begins and closes with the Year this would have seemed a natural and fitting proposition. Now, however, I refer the question of the time to you — only asking leave to make one suggestion. I do not wish to do any thing abruptly; — still, I believe that any protracted period — after ^ Perhaps altered from "brothers." ^ Continued from p. [98] of the text, or p. 602 of this volume.

It seems to me that our connection had better end in the course of January. May I beg of you to inform me of the conclusion to which you may^ arrive ^ in this respect as soon as it may be practicable — as it will affect my arrangements both here and elsewhere. And with the earnest hope, and the confidence, that he who shall take up the work, which I am lajdng down, will be to you, — and do for you, — far more than I have been able to be, or to do, — believe me always yours in Christian fellowship Geo.
