 organization, and chose Dea. Lauren D. Lyman. Hon. 
 Horatio G. Knight and Dea. John H. Judd. as a committee 
 to act in concert with a similar committee, chosen by the 
 Parish, in making the necessary arrangements. 
 
 Subsequently the Parish chose Messrs. S. Chapin 
 Wood, W. Edgar Clapp and Charles E. Ferry, to act in 
 that capacity. 
 
 In June. 1885, this joint committee met and organized, 
 choosing Dea. L. D. Lyman, chairman: Dea. J. H. Judd. 
 secretary, who soon after moved from town, and Hon. H. (I.

 church to assist in the services: to invite all who. in former 
 days, had ever been members of the choir, to assist also in 
 the singing: to extend special invitations to Rev. Rollin S. 
 Stone, of Chatham, N. J., a former pastor. Rev. J. H. 
 Bisbee, of Westfield. Rev. James F. Mears of the Metho-

 Pastors of the Congregational Churches of Hampshire 
 Conference: also to extend, through the newspapers, a 
 general invitation to former members of the Church and 
 Parish: to invite Rev. W. F. Bacon, the Pastor, to give an 
 address of welcome. Rev. A. M. Colton. of Easthampton. 
 late Pastor, to offer the anniversary prayer, and Rev. P. 
 W. Lyman, of Belchertown. author of the History of

PREFACE. 
 
 This programme was fully and ably carried out, each 
 appointee being present to fill his part. 
 
 The weather was favorable, and the church was crowd- 
 ed, both afternoon and evening. The universal opinion 
 seemed to be that the anniversary, in all its parts, was 
 an entire success. 
 
 It was subsequently voted by the church, to print the 
 Historical Address in connection with its Manual and 
 Register, which were in course of preparation. 
 
 The following entry, made Jan, 9th, 1834, upon one of 
 the first pages of the records of the church, may help 
 explain some of the difficulties under which Mr. Lyman 
 labored in preparing his address; the omission of several 
 dates in the list of officers and members of the church, as 
 well as some of the errors which may possibly be found 
 in the register of the first fifty years: — 
 
 Owing to the circumstances of the church in this 
 place not purchasing a book for preserving the records 
 of their ' doings, etc., for some time after my ordination, 
 and of my negligence (which I freely confess I see cause 
 to lament, and hope will never be plead as a precedent by 
 any of my successors in the gospel ministry here), I have 
 but imperfectly preserved on file only a small part of the 
 doings of the church, from time to time, till near the close 
 of my ministry. Should it please God, who has graciously 
 lengthened out my life hitherto, to furnish me with the 
 leisure I shall need, I propose in the course of the present 
 year, to insert in the book of church records those doings, 
 with such other of the church's as are strongly 
 impressed on my memory, and which I shall record as 
 what I believe to have been matters of fact. 
 
 The notice of marriage, baptisms, receptions into the 
 church, and deaths, as contained in the book of records, 
 is substantially, and I very much think in every instance, 
 correct, being a faithful copy from my minutes till the 
 purchase of a book for keeping records, and which book, 
 after the purchase, was improved for recording baptisms, 
 marriages, etc., directly, or soon after the facts recorded 
 took place. Attest, 
 
 PAYSON WILLISTON. 
 Easthampton, Jan. 9th. 1834, 
 
 The spelling of the names, found in the Register, is 
 that of the records of the church. 
 
 Special attention is called to the great age attained by 
 the majority of the "Original Members," as recorded in the 
 Church Register. 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 The significant and fruitful act which we to-day cele- 
 brate on the one-hundredth anniversary of its occurrence, 
 was one to which our fathers had for years looked forward, 
 and for which, as? they were able, they had been making 
 preparation. 
 
 The launching of a church in any place is, ordinarily 
 speaking, the most important act in its life. 
 
 Before reviewing the history of this church organiza- 
 tion. I wish in a few words to show something as to its 
 genesis, to set forth in brief the antecedent religious history 
 of the settlement. 
 
 Though the district known as Nashawannuck was first 
 occupied, the two most important of the original settle- 
 ments within the borders of the present town of Easthamp- 
 ton were at Bartlett's Mill and Pascommuck. From the 
 former the center of the town grew. Both were North- 
 ampton school districts. So far as appears from any records 
 which have come to my knowledge, the first school taught 
 in town was at Pascommock in 1739. There is no account 
 of any further appropriation till Dec. 1748, when it was 
 voted to have schools taught in Pascommuck and at Bart- 
 lett's Mill, unless the statement that Benjamin Lyman (the 
 ancestor of all the Easthampton Lymans) who had then 
 just moved to Bartlett's Mill, received in March 1747 £5 for 
 keeping school the winter past in one of the extreme parts 
 of the town, means that a school was kept by him near his 
 home that year. Early teachers at this place were Elisha 
 Alvord and Samuel Pomeroy, and at Pascommuck, Obad- 
 iah Janes, Joel Parsons and Philip Clark. The schools 
 were held for a few weeks, at the most three months, and 
 in the winter. 
 
 100 years ago in April last the astounding proposition 
 was introduced into the Northampton town meeting that 
 the town should •■school'' girls. Why did they need school- 
 ing ? So the majority thought, and gave the proposition a 
 black eye. Seven years later a vote was secured to 
 "school girls from 8 to 13 years old" at the '"Center" and 
 at "•Licking Water." There came a reaction, however, and 
 in 17!)!) the progressives were again defeated, the town 
 refusing to take any measures to school girls. 
 
HIST< >RICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 Though provided with school privileges at home, our 
 fathers were obliged to go to Northampton or Southamp- 
 ton, an inconvenient distance, for the privilege of public 
 religious services on the Sabbath. 
 
 Among his voluminous writings Sylvester Judd pre- 
 serves a record of the fact that Maj. Jonathan Clapp, a 
 prominent Easthampton man, used to go to meeting with 
 his wife and six grown daughters , all coming into the meet- 
 ing house together, two by two, the girls being noticeably 
 well dressed. On Sunday noons they always went to Itha- 
 mar Strong's, which was on Main St., opposite the Old 
 church, on the site afterwards occupied by Winthrop Hill- 
 yer, on Shop Row. Maj. Clapp was accustomed to send in 
 provisons, and Strong's people always boiled a dinner for 
 them, they having a room by themselves, the Strong fam- 
 ily receiving compensation for the service rendered. 
 
 But not many families could go to that degree of 
 trouble and expense. And, even if they could, it was not 
 conducive to the spiritual life of the new settlement that 
 they should be obliged to go so far for public service. It 
 was every way desirable that they should have religious 
 privileges nearer home. 
 
 Though the fact should not be overlooked that neigh- 
 borhood religious services were held here on week days 
 with more or less frequency. If other evidence were want- 
 ing, we have the proof in the writings of the distinguished 
 Northampton pastor. Jonathan Edwards, to whose flock 
 the people of the settlements hiterto named belonged, and 
 who, in his "Narrative of Surprising Conversions,'" relates 
 that it had long been the manner of the young people to 
 make Sunday evening and the evening of the public re- 
 ligious lecture a time of social mirth and gayety. Pained 
 by such a proceedure, he preached against it, and also 
 privately urged upon the people that they should meet 
 together on the next day after the lecture in their several 
 neighborhoods "to know each others' minds," and the 
 motion was complied with throughout the town. 
 
 Even the young people themselves were convinced by 
 what they heard from the pulpit and were willing of them- 
 selves to comply with the counsel given, "and it was im- 
 mediately and, Isuppose, almost universally complied with, 
 and there was a thorough reformation of these disorders 
 thenceforward, which has continued ever since." 
 
 This was in 1733. "Presently after this." Mr. Edwards 
 goes on to say, "there began to appear a remarkable 
 religious concern at a little village belonging to the 
 congregation called Pascommuck, where a few families 
 were settled. At this place a number of persons seemed 
 to be savingly wrought upon." 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 This was the begining of a most remarkable work of 
 grace which resulted in the conversion, as Mr. Edwards 
 estimated, of not less than 300 persons in his parish. This 
 was mostly in the year 1735, one hundred and fifty years 
 ago. 
 
 This work extended through all parts of Old Hamp- 
 shire County and even down into Connecticut. 
 
 "In the fall of the year 1734" he says "I proposed it to 
 the young people that they should agree among themselves 
 to spend the evenings after lectures in social religion, 
 and, to that end. to divide themselves into several compa- 
 nies to meet in various parts of the town, which was accord- 
 ingly done; and those meetings have been since continued 
 and the example imitated by elder people." 
 
 The early place of meeting at the Bartlett's mill settle- 
 ment, now the center, was at Landlord Joseph Bartlett's 
 house, which, as an innholder, he kept open to the public 
 during the whole period of Mr. Edwards' pastorate in 
 Northampton. 
 
 Here in an earlier building on the site from which was 
 lately removed the structure known to us as "the Old 
 Clapp Tavern," the voice of Mr. Edwards was, no doubt, 
 many times heard dispensing the word of life to this por- 
 tion of his spiritual charge. 
 
 This Landlord Bartlett died in 1755, bequeathing cer- 
 tain lands to three of his brothers, attaching to the bequest 
 the condition that they should give £100, "old tenor," 
 which was then equivalent to £13, 6s, 8d, lawful money, 
 to the first church of Christ that should be erected and 
 should celebrate divine ordinances within half a mile of 
 his house. 
 
 When, thirty years after his death, this church was 
 organized in the public house which stood where his had 
 done, the church committee (consisting, at that time, of 
 Benjamin Lyman. Stephen Wright and Philip Clark), 
 together with Joseph Clapp, were appointed to collect the 
 donation. With the accrued interest, it amounted to £14, 
 Is, 3d, and was expended in the purchase of a massive sil- 
 ver cup for use in the communion service. The cup is still 
 held by the church as one of its precious relics, and is 
 before you on the desk. In 1S05, Dea. Obadiah Janes gave 
 the church a smaller cup which we also have before us. 
 The communion service, now in use, was the gift of Mrs. 
 Tirzah. widow of Luther Clapp, who died Aug. 13, 1811, in 
 her will bequeathing to the church and town $300, $35 
 of which, according to her direction, was expended for the 
 purchase of a pall cloth for public use; and the remainder 
 fell to the church. This bequest of Landlord Bartlett indi- 
 cates that even then the people were looking forward 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 toward a church organization. 
 
 Fifteen years later, in March 1770, a committee of the 
 town of Northampton recommended that a meeting house 
 he provided to accommodate the people at Bartlett's Mill 
 and Pascommuck. The proposition failed of favorable con- 
 sideration, but in March 1773 met with better success. 
 Eliakim Clark, Jonathan Clapp and others petitioned 
 Northampton in favor of separation and the ' "erection" of 
 a new town. A committee appointed to consider the mat- 
 ter, reported in favor of granting the petition. They, pro- 
 posed and the town voted to raise £300 to enable the new 
 town to erect a meeting house and settle a minister, though 
 in the following June they refused the petition of the peo- 
 ple here for a larger sum than had been voted in aid of 
 their enterprise. 
 
 The motive for the new town was thus religious. It 
 was for the sake of the church. And that was also the 
 test by which the advisability of the establishment of a 
 new town was tried. Could the people desiring incorpor- 
 ation maintain religious worship and afford an adequate 
 support to an ordained pastor and teacher ? If so, there 
 was reason in their petition for separate organization. 
 
 In those days the town was to the church what the par- 
 ish is to-day, saving that there was then no option in the 
 matter of belonging to it. No one could "sign off'*. If one 
 left town he would meet the same obligation to support the 
 church in the place in which he should locate. 
 
 The people here being anxious for separate organiza- 
 tion, Northampton favored their desire, and in Dec. 1773 
 instructed its representative "to use his utmost endeavor 
 at General Court to procure a new town."' But his most 
 strenuous endeavor proved abortive, partly through objec- 
 tion offered by Southampton, which was loth to part with 
 those of its families who desired and had petitioned to be 
 set off with the new town and church. 
 
 The excitement and excessive burdens of the Revolu- 
 tion soon came upon the people and postponed further 
 action looking towards a new town, till in 1781 and 1782 the 
 subject was again agitated and the Northampton com- 
 mittee to whom the subject was referred, reported that 
 "the petitioners with their lands, together with those from 
 Southampton who wished to join them, would make a 
 respectable parish, or town, and be fully sufficient to sup- 
 port the charges incident thereto.'' But it was not till the 
 summer of 1785 that the long sought act of incorporation 
 was granted. 
 
 So strong had been the conviction that it would soon 
 be secured, that certain individuals had already made prep- 
 aration for the erection of a frame building for use as a 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 meeting house, and in the spring of 1785 the frame was put 
 up. No sooner was there a town competent to act in such 
 matters, than, true to their declared religious purpose, they 
 voted at their first business meeting to provide a place for 
 public worship, and for that purpose to purchase the frame 
 already erected, and complete the building. It was 53 by 
 42 feet, with galleries, well finished, but without either bell 
 or steeple. Above the high pulpit was a massive sounding 
 board supported by a projecting human hand as it were, 
 and many were the youthful listeners who during the ser- 
 mon fell to speculating on the consequences to the preacher 
 in case the hand should let go its hold. The finish was 
 not given till 1792. Temporary benches until then served 
 the purpose of the people. 
 
 The church was organized Thursday, Nov. 17, 1785. 
 The number of original members was 72, 46 of whom were 
 dismissed from the old church in Northampton on the pre- 
 vious Sabbath. The other 26 came mostly from Southamp- 
 ton. There were 34 males and 38 females, as follows: — 
 Aaron, Benjamin. Jonathan and Joseph Clapp; John, Elea- 
 zer and Joel Hannum; Elijah. Stephen and Eliakim 
 Wright; Enos and Eldad Pomeroy; Jonathan Wolcott; 
 Ezra Ludden: Obadiah, Jonathan and Samuel Janes; Da- 
 vid, Lemuel and Benjamin Lyman; Philip, Obadiah, Asa- 
 hel and Job Clark; Jonathan Davis; Josiah and William 
 Phelps; Jonathan Bartlett; Daniel Alexander; Solomon 
 Ferry; Rufus Brown; Joel Parsons; Zebediah and Elisha 
 Alvord. All these with their wives except Eliakim Wright, 
 Benjamin Lyman. Eldad Pomeroy, William Phelps. Zebe- 
 diah and Elisha Alvord and Joel Hannum. There were 
 also the wives of John. Aaron and Levi Clapp, Seth Han- 
 num, John Brown, Ephraim Danks, Noah Janes and Solo- 
 mon Pomeroy, and the widows Submit Clapp and Abigail 
 Danks, the latter with her daughter Abigail. 
 
 As illustrating the custom of those days as to the 
 church membership of young people, it will be interesting 
 to note that of the 72 there was only one unmarried female, 
 and she at that time was 44 years of age. The youngest of 
 the men was probably Eliakim Wright, who was 29 years 
 of age. The advanced age to which most of these lived is 
 also worthy of note. (See Church Register.) 
 
 These met in the public house of Capt. Joseph Clapp. 
 There were present four pastors, who had been invited by 
 a committee of those who proposed the organization of the 
 new church. Besides the pastors of the two mother 
 churches. Revs. Solomon Williams of Northampton and 
 Jonathan Judd of Southampton, there were Revs. Enoch 
 Hale of Westhampton and Joseph Strong of Williamsburg. 
 Certificates of the church membership and good standing 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 of the 70 were produced. Then the male members signed 
 the confession of faith and the covenant which had been 
 prepared. (See Confessions and Covenants.) Then a public 
 lecture was attended, after which the males and such of the 
 females as were present gave their public assent and con- 
 sent to the said confession and covenant, on which they 
 were declared and recognized as a distinct and regular 
 church of Christ. Then they chose Mr. Stephen Wright 
 for their moderator and Capt. Philip Clark for their clerk. 
 
 They also "voted that it shall be the duty of the mod- 
 erator, upon written application of seven brethren for a 
 church meeting, stating the reasons for it, to warn one." 
 
 So runs the record of that, to us, most memorable meet- 
 ing, a record signed by the four pastors called for the 
 purpose of organization. 
 
 So far as we have any record, the first business meeting 
 was held Jan. 18, 1786, at which they chose as deacons 
 Stephen Wright and Capt. Philip Clark" the latter of whom, 
 however, appears to have declined to serve. After a short 
 time, June 21st of the same year, they chose Benjamin 
 Lyman for their other deacon, it having been the original 
 intention to have three. The deacons were then made the 
 standing committee. Upon the declination of Capt. Philip 
 Clark as clerk and member of committee in 1788, Obadiah 
 Janes was made deacon and member of committee and 
 Dea. Stephen Wright clerk. 
 
 So the church was organized and equipped with offi- 
 cers — except that it was yet without a pastor. 
 
 Mr. Williston records that even before the erection of 
 the church edifice, in the year of the organization, they 
 had, occasionally at first, and afterwards more steadily, 
 employed men to preach. If so before the church organi- 
 zation and edifice, much more would it have been the case 
 ever after. Who the men were I find no record or mention 
 saving that they hired Rev. Aaron Walworth in the year of 
 organization and afterwards gave him a call which he saw 
 fit to decline. Who he was, whence he came, whither he 
 went, how long he preached, I am unable to say. Later, 
 a Mr. Holt was hired to preach. 
 
 But the most eventful day in the century under review- 
 to this church, next after organization, if even that should 
 be excepted, was probably that on which the people decided 
 to extend a call to Mr. Payson Williston, then a young man 
 of 26, a native of West Haven, Ct. son of Rev. Noah Wil- 
 liston, and on his mother's side connected with the family of 
 Payson, a family of ministers, the child of godly parents, ear- 
 ly converted to God, in youth united with the church, while 
 in college a volunteer soldier in the War of the Revolution, 
 a graduate of Yale in the class of 1783, a student of divin- 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 ity with the eminent Dr. Trumbull of West Haven, licensed 
 to preach at 21 years of age, preaching for 3 or 4 years in 
 vacant parishes before being willing to consider a call to a 
 life pastorate. At length when he was ready the call came 
 to him from this church, it having been voted April 2, 1789. 
 Mr. Williston, after considering the matter, responded 
 favorably and was ordained to the work of the gospel 
 ministry here Aug. 13th. 1789. 
 
 In preparation for this most important event — the estab- 
 lishment of a life pastorate— the church set apart a day 
 for fasting and prayer. The committee in charge of the 
 services connected with ordination, on the part of the 
 church, were the deacons Stephen Wright. Benjamin Lyman, 
 Obadiah Janes, together with Lemuel Lyman and Philip 
 Clark. 
 
 The next year he married and brought to the parson- 
 age Miss Sarah Birdseye of Stratford, Conn., daughter of 
 Rev. Nathan Birdseye. 
 
 "With this amiable wife of his youth,'" says Dr. Wood- 
 bridge, "whose sound sense, industry and prudence ren- 
 dered her a great blessing to her family, Dr. Williston lived 
 happily for nearly fifty -five years." Her death occurred in 
 1845. 
 
 Of him as a preacher Dr. Woodbridge thus speaks: — 
 "His doctrinal views accorded with those of the Puritans 
 of former days, and the gospel which he believed, he 
 preached with plainness, with variety and fullness of illus- 
 tration, and not seldom with tears and with voice choked 
 with emotion. Though he had not the compass and inflec- 
 tion of voice which are generally supposed to pertain to 
 eloquent speaking, yet his manner was dignified and sol- 
 emn, not tarnished by even the smallest appearance of 
 display or affectation. The matter was uniformly weighty 
 and could not fail to interest all who loved the gospel and 
 who sought in a sermon for instruction and deep spirit- 
 uality, rather than flights of poetic fancy or the tricks of a 
 studied oratory. He prepared his discourses with care and 
 was felicitous in the arrangement of his thoughts, and the 
 perspicuity and directness with which he expressed and 
 enforced them. He was a man of great modesty, of gen- 
 uine courtesy, a judicious counselor, a peacemaker, a 
 faithful pastor. The history of his life here is so well 
 known and has been so many times told that I need not 
 enlarge upon it in this address. 
 
 There was however one episode in it which taken in its 
 connection is of interest, ie., his connection with the early 
 home missionary work of the county. 
 
 In the year 1798 the pastor of one of the churches of 
 Connecticut in returning thanks to God for a blessing on 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 his own people, declared that, standing at the front door of 
 his house he could "number fifty or sixty congregations 
 laid down in one field of divine wonders/' Within two 
 years of that time one hundred and fifty such revivals 
 were reported among the churches of New England. West- 
 ern Massachusetts shared very largely that work of grace. 
 
 This heightened religious life, together with a wave of 
 missionary influence which swept across the Atlantic from 
 the Mother Country, brought forth. in 1797 and 1798 respect- 
 ively, the two societies of which the senior Dr. Storrs in 
 1849 said, "Wherever the birthplace of foreign missions, 
 and whatever their aliment in their infancy, they were 
 dandled on the knees of the Massachusetts and Connecti- 
 cut Missionary societies while they were yet feeble." 
 
 The pastors and Christian people of this valley were not 
 behind those of any other region in their zeal for the 
 spread of the gospel, and, accordingly, they organized the 
 Hampshire Missionary Society in 1802 when Mr. Williston 
 had been thirteen years in his pastorate. The society had 
 a long and honorable history. 
 
 Its first president was that most distinguished statesman. 
 Gov. Caleb Strong of Northampton, who was succeeded by 
 Rev. Dr. Joseph Lyman of Hatfield, who afterwards was 
 one of the founders and first corporate members of the 
 American Board, and its third President. Its first Record- 
 ing Secretary was Rev. Payson Williston, who held the 
 office sixteen years or more. Among its early trustees 
 were Rev. Drs. Lathrop of West Springfield. Storrs of 
 Longmeadow, Parsons of Amherst, and Williams of North- 
 ampton. Its funds were derived from direct contributions 
 from the churches, from the female charitable societies, 
 which were organized in nearly all the churches, from out- 
 side gifts, and from collections taken by its missionaries. 
 It was a home missionary society "laboring among the in- 
 fant and destitute settlements of this country.*' The "in- 
 fant settlements" in which, in its early history, this society 
 chiefly labored were in Maine and Central New York, more 
 distant from this valley, in hours of travel and more diffi- 
 cult of access than are Dakota and Utah to-day. The ear- 
 ly missionaries were itinerant preachers. They would 
 cover two or three counties in a summer's labor, preaching 
 not only on the Sabbath but averaging at least one sermon 
 a day besides. They also visited families and schools on 
 religious errands, visited the sick, buried the dead, admin- 
 istered the sacraments, organized churches, and sought in 
 every way to heighten the religious life of the regions vis- 
 ited. At least seven local pastors were temporarily re- 
 leased from their charges for this work, viz: Pastors T. M. 
 Cooley of Granville in 1803, Vinson Gould of Southampton 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 11 
 
 and Joel Hayes of South Hadleyin 1804. Parson Williston 
 in L805, Joseph Blodgett of Greenwich in 18C6, Alvan San- 
 derson of Ashfield in 1807, and John Woodbridge of Had- 
 ley in L808. 
 
 Mr. Williston's field of labor was in Chenango and 
 Onondaga counties in New York. — the region of Syracuse. 
 — a section which Mr. Cooler had traversed in 1803 and Mr. 
 Hayes in 1804. Mr. Williston had for his companion, his 
 Barnabas. Rev. Thomas H. Wood, who the year before had 
 been in Maine with Mr. Gould. Of him the Society's re- 
 port says. "He rode 1400 miles, preached 70 times, visited 
 300 families, and 11 schools, distributing books and doing 
 Christian work generally."" and it was added of Mr, Wil- 
 liston that he "was not less active, laborious and faithful.*' 
 
 Among other things it was related that these two mis- 
 sionaries had a friendly interview with the New Stockbridge 
 Indians under the care of Rev Mr. Sargent, who had fol- 
 lowed Jonathan Edwards in Old Stockbridge as their mis- 
 sionary. With Mr. Sargent they had some conference as to 
 a possible mission to the Miamis and Delawares. Referring 
 to this visit the trustees say, "the friends of eouls are 
 earnestly looking for the time when a wider door may be 
 opened to preach the everlasting gospel." This was shortly 
 before these same trustees united with others, to form the 
 Hampshire Foreign Missionary Society. What doors have 
 since been opened in the world which was then such a terra 
 incognita, With this missionary spirit burning in his 
 breast, it may well be believed that Mr. Williston would use 
 all endeavor to keep his people alive to the interests of the 
 Redeemer's kingdom. 
 
 For 44 years this rare man faithfully performed the 
 duties of an ambassador of God. in this his chosen field of 
 labor. At the age of 70, while still in the enjoyment of the 
 fullest confidence and esteem of his people, he withdrew 
 from the active duties of the ministry, sending to the town, 
 which had joined the church in voting him a call, a letter 
 resigning his charge. No meeting of the church appears to 
 have been held. The business was done exclusively by the 
 town. Mr. Williston rather apologizes for placing upon 
 the church records his letter and the doings of the town 
 thereupon, saying that he does it "not because they are 
 exclusively the doings of the pastor and church, but be- 
 cause they have a close bearing upon both, and because it 
 is thought they may be of advantage to those who may 
 con^ after in leading them to the knowledge of some 
 facts of importance to be preserved." 
 
 The letter of resignation which is printed in the His- 
 tory of Easthampton. was presented to the town at a meet- 
 ing held March 11. 1833. 
 
12 HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 A committee of eleven, who were largely church mem- 
 bers, was appointed to consider the matter and report at a 
 subsequent meeting of the town. The committee were 
 Dea. Thaddeus Clapp, John Ludden, Esq., Stephen Hen- 
 drick, Solomon Lyman, Lemuel Lyman, Daniel Lyman, 
 Paul Hannum, Luke Janes, Levi White, John Hannum 
 and Levi Clapp. They recommended that the same amount 
 of money as usual should be raised of which Mr. Williston 
 was to have one moiety, or half, and more than half if he 
 should supply the pulpit more than half the time, and that 
 he be associated with the committee in the call and set- 
 tlement of a successor who was, if possible, to be obtained 
 within three months. But though his official relation to 
 the people was thus sundered, Mr. Williston continued to 
 reside here till his death at the age of 02. He loved the 
 people whom he had served, till the last, and was accus- 
 tomed to visit among them, bringing counsel and consola- 
 tion, even as when he was their pastor, and he was also 
 in noteworthy manner the friend and supporter of all his 
 successors in office so long as he lived. 
 
 For several years he was the sole survivor of his class 
 and for some time he was the oldest graduate of Yale, 
 from which institution he received the degree of D. D. 
 His work on earth ended Jan. 30, 1856. But in the charac- 
 ter of the people he trained in the church, to which he 
 ministered so long and faithfully, in his noble record, and 
 in the work of the sons whom he gave to the world, his 
 influence has outlived him and will last through the com- 
 ing generations. 
 
 Mr. Williston and the committee were so successful 
 in their search for a candidate that a call was extended to 
 Mr. William Bement of Ashfield, the church this time by 
 itself taking the initiative and voting unanimously in fa- 
 vor of the call at a meeting held Aug. 12, 1833. When the 
 question of financial support had been satisfactorily ad- 
 justed the call was accepted, and the ordination occurred 
 Oct. 16, 1833, the council first dismissing Mr. Williston. 
 Mr. Bement was at this time 27 years of age, a graduate of 
 Dartmouth and Princeton, "with unusual promise of use- 
 fulness by reason of thorough scholarship, patient indus- 
 try, persevering energy, fine intellectual ability and ardent 
 piety." 
 
 The facts in regard to this pastorate have been pub- 
 lished and are accessible to all, so that they need not be 
 here lengthily rehearsed. It continued 17 years, as the 
 dismissing council said "with very great fidelity and with 
 unusual success." At its close the church voted the unan- 
 imous assurance that "his departure was neither antici- 
 pated nor desired by them, that they esteem him very

 highly in love, hold his services in most grateful remem- 
 brance and cordially approve the views which he enter- 
 tained of the Christian ministry and of the efforts he has 
 made to extend the kingdom of the Redeemer." He was 
 the last pastor here whose entire ministry was given to the 
 whole people, whom he regarded with an abiding affection 
 quite remarkable for its intensity, an affection which sep- 
 aration never quenched. His dismission occurred Apr. 
 9, 1850. He subsequently removed to Elmira, N. Y., where, 
 as pastor of the First Presbyterian church, he 
 "at once commanded the highest respect of the entire 
 community, as a well trained, sound, Scriptural preacher 
 of the gospel, and as a faithful, attentive and most 
 acceptable pastor.*' As his Elmira successor, Rev. 
 Thomas K. Beecher, said of him at his death, ''He possessed 
 a clear cut, logical mind. By his College and Seminary 
 training it became a necessity with him to see the lines of 
 truth and duty sharply defined. His sermons march fault- 
 lessly from text to doctrine, from premise to conclusion." 
 Later, for five or six years, he labored in the ministry in 
 Smithport, N. Y. , and still later as superintendent of city 
 schools in Elmira, "to which he brought excellent scholar- 
 ship, sound judgment, and unwearying industry." His 
 health failing, he removed to Jersey City, where he en- 
 gaged in business, hoping that thereby he might secure 
 physical benefit; but his ill health continued, including 
 great mental depression at times. In one such season he 
 left his home, passed through New York City, to the upper 
 part, where in a grove near the Convent of the Sa- 
 cred Heart, alone with God, he laid himself down, his 
 strength exhausted, and God took him home. 
 
 These two pastors served the church sixty -one years 
 of its first century. Three others who still live and" hap- 
 pily are with us to-day, divide between them the remainder 
 of the years. 
 
 His successor, Rev. Rollin S. Stone, was installed 
 Oct. 8th, 1850. Two years later the division of the church 
 occurred, in anticipation of which Mr Stone gave notice 
 that he should resign his charge. Called subsequently to 
 become pastor of the new church, his most excellent rec- 
 ord in this place was made principally as the first pastor of 
 our daughter church. He was dismissed July 26. 1852. 
 
 Of any earlier pastor I have little recollection while hold- 
 ing office. Mr. Stone's visits to my home I recall. His ser- 
 mons I remember less, except as preached during his later 
 pastorate here. I remember him especially in the maternal 
 meetings, which were perhaps the successors of the meet- 
 ings of that Maternal Society organized in Mr. Bement's 
 ministry, of which first my father's mother. Mrs. Daniel

 Lyman, and afterwards Mrs. Bement was president. 
 
 Of this great crisis in the history of the church I can- 
 not speak at length. Until the coming of Mr. Colton. it 
 seemed almost as though it would be the destruction of the 
 old church. In such separations usually the strength re- 
 mains, but in this case the strength had apparently de- 
 parted. Hon. Samuel Williston, a deacon of the church, had 
 even then for years been the leading financial factor in the 
 solution of any Easthampton problem. He was the heart 
 of the new enterprise. His business lieutenants. Knight 
 and Sawyer, had gone with him. The institution he had 
 founded, with its students and its faculty, followed suit. 
 The organist and choir leader, and. lastly, to crown the 
 calamity to the old church, the pastor; all these and with 
 them many other leading families. Almost all the strong 
 financial props of the church were failing it. The old 
 pastor, Williston, however, stood by his chinch till he was 
 transferred to the church triumphant. 
 
 What could the remnant do in such dire straits ? So 
 reduced was their ability that they were ready to die. 
 
 Still there were some resolute people who were bound 
 that the church should live if possible, and they prayerfully 
 and anxiously set out in search of a pastor who should 
 gather up the fragments and save the church of the fathers 
 from dissolution. Beyond all question, these men were 
 guided of the Lord in their search. They found the right 
 man. After months of anxious waiting and seeking, 
 they secured him, and in so doing secured one whose 
 ministry of more than a quarter of a century was 
 their salvation. The name and face and voice of this 
 pastor come at once before your minds. 
 
 Taking the church in a most critical time in its history, 
 Mr. Colton's coming brought hope and determination to 
 the hearts of the much dispirited people. His continuance 
 so long was a benediction and a blessing. More than 
 one crisis did the church pass through in those years. 
 But with God's blessing on the good work of a wise pilot 
 and a faithful crew, the good ship weathered every 
 storm. Of one crisis I was in a way to know especially. 
 Before the church was removed to its present 
 location, a burdensome debt had accumulated. A parish 
 meeting was held, but no light came on the dark 
 problem. My father. Daniel F. Lyman, came home and 
 talked the situation over with his wife. The next day he 
 set out with a subscription paper, went to his friends. Dea. 
 E. W. Hannmn. Sidney Ferry and Augustus Clapp, and 
 got them to pledge $200 each towards the extinguishment 
 of the debt. He then put his own name down for what 
 was to him a large sum. and. leaving his pressing work. 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 15 
 
 spent two weeks among the people, and wiped out the debt. 
 I hope I do not give him too much credit. If the church 
 has since seen a darker day than the day of that parish 
 meeting I do not know it. I know it has had debts since, 
 and generous givers and willing workers, whom you know 
 better than I do. Such the church must have perpetually 
 if it would live and grow. 
 
 As to the relation between the mother church and its 
 child, whose separation caused the mother so much pain, 
 and brought her so nigh to death, — quite to death, perhaps, 
 had it not been for the good Providence of God, the 
 gifts and graces, and the fine fitness to the situation of his 
 minister whom he sent to do his work with this church, — 
 as to the relation between the mother church and its 
 daughter, the Payson church, I shall let Mr. Colton, who 
 knows better than any other, speak. 
 
 "In coming to labor here it impressed me as a matter 
 of very great importance to cultivate, by any and all proper 
 means, relations of friendship between the two societies. 
 The situation was peculiar. A spark might kindle a flame. 
 Happily this wish and endeavor has been generously 
 reciprocated by the Payson church and people. It deserves 
 record that in all this quarter century there has been 
 between them and us none other but relations of peace and 
 harmony, without a ripple or shadow of disturbance or 
 unpleasantness. "* 
 
 It is a matter of rejoicing that the pleasantness of their 
 relations still continues, and, I am confident, is not likely to 
 be ruptured. These brothers in unity, the present pastors 
 of the two churches, will, I know, seek the maintainance 
 of this cordiality of relation. 
 
 In compliance with a request to give "the time and 
 manner of his dismission," Mr. Colton writes as follows:— 
 
 "Having passed the seventieth anniversary of my 
 birth, and in accordance with a purpose long cherished, I 
 tendered the resignation of my pastoral charge, — Septem- 
 ber 7th, 1879,— the same to take effect at the close of the 
 then current calendar year. In that communication it was 
 given me to say: 'I am not prompted to this step by any, 
 the least, sign' or symptom" of unfriendliness toward me, 
 or of desire for the change. If there be among this people 
 a single individual who harbors toward me, or my family, 
 or my ministry here, any feeling other than of cordial 
 good will, I do not know of it, and have no idea of it. I 
 am glad and grateful to have it so. The remembrance of 
 it will be a solace and a joy to me when the formal relation 
 between us shall have ceased.' 
 
 *See ''Quarter Century Anniversary, '' page 29. 
 
16 HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 "On September 20th the church and parish voted to 
 comply with my request for a release from my pastoral 
 charge. At the same meetings, committees were appointed 
 to prepare and present a series of resolutions expressive of the 
 the feelings of the church toward the retiring pastor. 
 
 "On Nov. 4th committees from the church and parish 
 requested me to continue in full my relations and labors 
 till March 2d, 1880,— thus filling out 27 years of my pastorate 
 here. 
 
 "At a meeting of the church, called for the purpose, 
 February 26th, 1880, the report on resolutions expressive of 
 the feelings of the church toward the pastor about to retire, 
 was presented. The closing of this report is in these 
 words:— 'And the wish may be added, that no further 
 sundering of any tie, bond or relation shall take place by 
 his, or our own act, or that of any council, until death, 
 which severs all earthly ties, shall transfer him from the 
 church militant to the church triumphant.' 
 
 "I was then and afterward given to understand that 
 by the 'wish,' so kindly expressed, I was desired to remain 
 with the church as its pastor emeritus. The same desire 
 was expressed before the Council, on his own part, by my 
 successor in office, Rev. William F. Bacon, at his installa- 
 tion and my dismission, December 1st, 1880. My heart 
 responded to the kindness in the invitations thus given: 
 but I felt constrained to decline these overtures, wishing, 
 as I did, a full release, and believing, as I did, and do still, 
 that as a general rule in such cases it is best for all 
 concerned that the incoming pastor have the field free and 
 clear to himself. So felt and so acted the first pastor of 
 the church,— Rev. Pay son Williston, of blessed memory." 
 
 Of the present ministry of this church, that of Rev. 
 W. F. Bacon, called to the pastorate Aug. 25th. 1880, I will 
 not speak, except to say that it has been abundantly 
 blessed of God to the prosperity of the church, which iii 
 many ways has had enlargement granted it since his 
 labors began. 
 
 SALARIES OF MINISTERS. 
 
 The town offered Mr. Williston £180 settlement in four 
 annual payments, unless he wished to build, in which case 
 he was to have half the settlement the first year. His sal- 
 ary was to be £60 the first year and to increase at the rate 
 of a pound a year till it became £70. As this did not seem 
 to him a sufficiency it was made £65 at the outset and was 
 soon raised to £70, Along with this he was to have 35 
 cords of wood if he should need as much. One year he 
 was voted £20 extra. When he had been with the church 
 nearly a score of years he asked the appointment of a com- 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 17 
 
 mittee to see if the £70 enabled him to live equally with 
 the people. They probably found upon inspection of his 
 pantry and wardrobe that it did not. At all events they 
 added $40 to his £70. 
 
 The parish was organized according to law April 20th, 
 1835, and superseded the town as manager of the secular 
 matters of the church. At its first meeting $550 was voted 
 for the salary of Mr. Bement. His salary remained about 
 the same through his ministry. The salary "has gradually 
 increased, with the progress of the times and of the town, 
 to its present figure, of more than three times that 
 amount." 
 
 THE PASTORS" HELPERS. 
 
 I have spoken of the appointment of the first deacons, 
 Stephen Wright, Benjamin Lyman and Obadiah Janes, 
 who served respectively 21, 12 and 19 years. Their suc- 
 cessors have been: Joel Parsons, 15 years; Solomon Ly- 
 man, 18; Thaddeus Clapp, 33; Sylvester Lyman, 20; Julius 
 Hannum, 7; Itbamar Clark, 25; Eleazer W. Hannum, 
 about 15; Samuel Williston, 11; Luther Wright and E. 
 Alonzo Clark, elected in 1857 arid served till death; Lauren 
 D. Lyman, J. H. Judd, John Munyan, L. E. Parsons, Geo. 
 Meserve. [See Register of Officers.] Formerly a deacon was 
 elected for life. Of late the custom has been to fix a brief 
 term of years and then reelect, if such be the wish of 
 the church. The prevalence of this custom has caused 
 that more persons have held this office in recent years 
 than in similar periods formerly. 
 
 STANDING COMMITTEE. 
 
 The prudential or standing committee has been really 
 the pastor's cabinet. Of this body the deacons have not 
 generally been ex-officio members, though often elected 
 thereto, as was the case a hundred years ago with the first 
 board. I hoped for the making of a tabulated list of the 
 membership of this important board of officers, but none 
 has been yet made. It might, however, at least in part, be 
 compiled from the records. 
 
 The present senior deacon, the chairman of this meet- 
 ing, Lauren D. Lyman, has had more experience in the 
 pastor's cabinet than any living member of this church, 
 not unlikely it might be said more than any man has ever 
 had. He served throughout Mr Colton's quarter century 
 and is still serving with the present pastor. 
 
 CHURCH EDIFICES. 
 
 The church edifice whose frame was erected by indi- 
 viduals early in 1785, even before the organization of the 
 
18 HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 district or town, which the town at its first business meet- 
 ing voted to buy, and which for more than fifty years served 
 the church for purposes of public worship, stood on the 
 ground, now used as a park, through which the walk from 
 the front door of this edifice leads. The pulpit stood for all 
 this time at the place now marked by the large pulpit elm 
 beside the walk. 
 
 The present structure was erected in 1836 — 7. The cor- 
 ner stone was laid June 9th, 1836. The house was dedica- 
 ted March 16th, 1837. The original cost was $6000. 
 
 In the fall of 1841, owing to the establishment of Wil- 
 liston Seminary, and the consequent need of more room, it 
 was set back fifty feet to bring it in line with the Seminary 
 buildings. An organ was introduced and enlargement 
 was effected by more spacious galleries. In 1865 it was 
 removed to the present location, to give place for the pres- 
 ent North Hall of the Seminary. Mr. Williston furnishing 
 the new site, paying for removal, and meeting part of the 
 expense of needed repairs. At that time the interior was 
 remodeled, the galleries lowered, the pews rebuilt, the 
 walls frescoed, the present pulpit furniture introduced and 
 the organ recess constructed, the organ and choir having 
 formerly been located in the rear gallery. These repairs 
 cost upwards of $5000. This, says Mr. Colton in his quar- 
 ter century review of his pastorate, "was for us a most 
 timely benefit. It helped to lift us over an exigency, the 
 full peril of which was not, perhaps, known to many. 
 And happily one improvement suggested another, and 
 gave courage to attempt another, — the purchase of a new 
 organ and building an organ loft, the removal of the 
 old Town Hall and its fitting up for a chapel, etc. Gener- 
 ously had the town given to the old parish its right and title 
 to the hall — a new and needed thing, the chapel, and a 
 great gain and joy to us when secured." 
 
 To me the old Town Hall, as it was on its old site, is 
 full of sacred associations. There were held the prayer 
 meetings of my boyhood, the young people's meetings of 
 that first revival in Mr. Colton's ministry. In recent years 
 this chapel, — the heart of which, though now. like all hearts, 
 out of sight, was the old Town Hall, — this chapel has been 
 turned about and lifted up and placed close along side of 
 the church, and so arranged as to afford most excellent 
 chapel, parlor, dining room and kitchen accommodations. 
 
 REVIVALS AND REVIVALISTS. 
 
 As to the special outpourings of God's Spirit much 
 might be said with sufficient study of the subject. 
 
 Such a season blessed the very first year of Mr. Willis- 
 ton's ministry, as a result of which some 25 persons were 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 19 
 
 added to the church within about a year of his ordination. 
 In reference to such seasons of grace, Mr. Williston thus 
 spoke in his half century sermon. "I rejoice that in the 
 rich and sovereign mercy of God, the attention of this 
 church and people, from time to time, has been called 
 in a special manner to the great concerns of their salva- 
 tion by the precious influence of the Holy Ghost, shed 
 down upon them. These scenes of God's merciful visi- 
 tation were all of them precious. The most remarkable of 
 them, and when manifestly there was the greatest 
 ingathering of souls, were in the first year of my ministry, 
 in 1806 when 14 were added, in 1816 when 35 were added, in 
 1823, 66 added, in 1828, 24 added and in 1834, 31 added. The 
 addition of '34 was the fruit of a revival which blessed the 
 first year of Mr. Bement's labors. In 1842 27, and in 1843 
 34 were added to the church. 
 
 Within the first year of Mr. Colton's ministry a 
 remarkable work of grace also broke out, as the immediate 
 result of which 49 persons became members of the church. 
 
 That season of refreshing I have much occasion to 
 remember, for it brought into the fold, along with myself, 
 my brother, Daniel W. Lyman, who gave his life for his 
 country, my cousin and intimate companion, Oliver A. 
 Clark, who also fell a victim to the bloody war, dying a 
 prisoner of war in the Andersonville stockade, and many 
 of those who then were the young people of the parish. 
 I believe its first manifestations were in the West District 
 school house meetings. Its methods were the inquiry 
 meeting in the pastor's study, and then, when more came, 
 in the parlors. There were, besides, the district meetings 
 and, at length, young people's meetings in what was then 
 our chapel, the town hall. 
 
 In the great awakening of '58 this church shared 
 largely, 52 being that year added. In '64 and '70, 20 were 
 each year added; in '75, 31; in '78, 25. These are some of 
 the fruits of Mr. Colton's work of a quarter century 
 and more. 
 
 The present pastorate has been blessed with additions 
 at every communion service, either by profession or by 
 letter. In the present year more have been added than 
 during any previous year of the church's history. In this 
 revival the pastor had the aid of Rev. R. S. Underwood, 
 whose work in Hampshire county was so abundantly 
 blessed of God last winter. 
 
 The next largest addition to the church was in the 
 year 1823, the number being 66. That ingathering was 
 the result of a revival in which the pastor, Mr. Williston, 
 had the aid of an evangelist, Rev. Joshua Danforth, who 
 was afterwards settled at Washington, Lee, and elsewhere. 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 
 
 The church gave itself with earnestness to this special 
 effort, which opened in the fall of 1822, holding a fast at 
 the outset of it. Dea. Ithamar Clark was one of the fruits 
 of that revival, as was also Dea. E. W. Hannum. The 
 summer before Dea. Clark had a narrow escape from 
 drowning, being saved by Samuel Phelps. That experience 
 was the means of his conversion. In that revival, as in 
 some of the others, household meetings were held. The 
 boys held meetings in the school house in the West District 
 for some time, which were attended with much interest, 
 though with some excitement which did not endure. Later 
 in Mr. Williston's ministry came what has been known 
 as "the Truair affair." 
 
 Rev. John Truair was a Spaniard of full blood, a man 
 of dark complexion, black hair, piercing eye. a man in 
 early life taught to swear, who did not learn to read till he 
 became a man, but who, upon his conversion, became a 
 preacher of quite marked power. Re was connected with 
 the Finney school, knowing Finney well. He came to this 
 region from the state of New York, being, introduced here, by 
 Rev. Mr. Gould, of Southampton. early in the winter of 1 826 ! . 
 Between 20 and 30 conversions are credited as the result of 
 his labors here, very few of them apparently spurious. He 
 was argumentative, forcible and impressive in public 
 address. His influence affected favorably the more spir- 
 itual element of the church until things began to be said to 
 his discredit. He ultimately lost the confidence and sup- 
 port of the local ministry. Pastors Williston, tlale. and 
 Gould were against him. He set some uneducated, indis- 
 creet young men afloat in the community, giving them a 
 sort of license to preach. The pastors came to regard him 
 as a man whose influence was not safe. As a result of this 
 coldness he was led to launch out independently and to 
 form a society in Westhampton. A few persons left this 
 church and joined him. 
 
 THE SERVICE OF SONG. 
 
 Mindful of the duty to praise the Lord with the voice 
 of song, this church, upon the very day on which they 
 committed themselves to the ministry of Mi-. Williston. in 
 case he should accept their call, appointed choristers to lead 
 in this part of the divine service. This is the record of that 
 eventful day's doings. April 2d, 1789, ''The church invited 
 Mr. Payson Willision to settle in the ministry in Fast- 
 hampton." That meant a vast deal more to Easthampton 
 than they knew, or even conjectured, though they knew it 
 was a solemn act and full of consequence. The record 
 adds "•They also voted Silas Brown. Jr.. Zadoc Danks and 
 Eliakim Clark for their choristers." In those days 1 sup-

 pose the only musical instrument allowed in the sanctuary 
 was the pitch pipe for "raising the tune." Notwith- 
 standing the Davidic musical regime in the temple service 
 with its multiplicity of musical instruments, notwith- 
 standing the injunction of the Old Testament Scriptures to 
 "praise the Lord with the psaltery, and harp, and with the 
 sound of the cornet," the musical instruments have had to 
 make their way into our sanctuaries in spite often of 
 hitter opposition. 
 
 In this church, for example, five years after Mr. 
 Willistoii's ordination. Aug. 25th, 1794, it was voted to 
 introduce the bass viol and "that it be used in the singing, 
 the two middle singings excepted." It seems, however, that 
 either public sentiment or a general vote ejected "the 
 base institution." and two years later, Dec. 7th, l?9l>, it was 
 again voted that the bass viol be brought into the church. 
 The unsanctified thing, however, so grieved one of the 
 members in the west part of the town that he joined the 
 Baptists and built a church at West Farms, largely from 
 his own funds. But the musical instruments finally won 
 the day and became consecrated to the service of the Lord. 
 The bass viol player, not of this, but of a somewhat later 
 date, according to the early recollections of the oldest 
 inhabitants, was Edson White. Stebbins Clapp, double 
 bass; Lysander White, violin; and Lowell E. Janes, flute; 
 made up with him the orchestral quartette. 
 
 How long the choristers first chosen served I have not 
 ascertained, neither do I know who immediately succeeded 
 them, but, according to the recollection of Dea, Lyman and 
 others, the choristers from about 1820 on were in nearly 
 the following order: Joel Parsons, Levi White, Ralph 
 Parsons, son of Joel, Jason Janes, Horatio G. Knight, 
 Lysander White. Stephen Rogers of Southampton, who 
 for quite a time was hired to lead the singing here, Harris 
 Bartholomew, whose store stood on the bank of the canal 
 in the house, converted since into a dwelling, and for many 
 years occupied by Lafayette Clapp, just north of the 
 covered bridge. One of the recollections of my early life, 
 is of seeing canal boats loading and unloading at the store 
 of Harris Bartholomew, the church chorister. He was 
 succeeded by E. L. Snow, who gave way to Seth W T arner, 
 the first organist, both organist and chorister for a time. 
 At the time of the church division he was chorister, E. S. 
 Hoadly being organist. Followingthe division Ahira Lyman 
 led the choir for a while, when J. Edward Janes, son of Low- 
 ell E. Janes, flute-player of the old orchestra, became both 
 organist and leader. He was succeeded by Myron E. Green, 
 H. J. Rudd, Emory Munyan. J. H. Willard and others. The 
 old orchestra was superseded by the music of the pipe organ

 in 1344. The first organ was the gift of Hon. Samuel 
 Williston, and was put into the church in the autumn of 
 1844, at the time when the church was moved back into 
 line with the new Williston Seminary buildings. At a 
 parish meeting, held Sept. 20th, 1844, Mr. Williston proposed 
 to put an organ into the church to remain according to the 
 pleasure of the society. The offer was accepted, and the 
 thanks of the parish were voted to Mr. Williston for his 
 frequent gifts to them. 
 
 THE SABBATH SCHOOL. 
 
 In the year 1818 efforts were first made to establish a 
 Sunday School here. The project was opposed by some on 
 the ground that the children, if left to themselves, as they 
 would be after the dismission of the school, would not 
 conduct themselves in a manner becoming the sanctity of 
 the day, and it was also thought to be an unsuitable thing 
 to have a school on the Sabbath. But so earnest were the 
 friends of the enterprise that they finally overcame the 
 opposition, and a school was organized in the district 
 school house, which stood on the triangle now occupied by 
 the Library. This was the very year in which, according 
 to Sylvester Judd, the Sunday School was organized in 
 Northampton. Rev. Solomon Lyman and Hon. Samuel 
 Williston, then in early life, it is said, were largely instru- 
 mental in the organization of this Sunday School work 
 here. Before that time it was the custom of the pastor, at 
 intervals, at the close of the afternoon service, to call the 
 children into the broad aisle, and arrange them in two 
 lines facing one another. The deacons' seat was in front 
 of the pulpit, one step up from the floor, and here in the 
 olden time the deacons sat, facing the audience during the 
 sermon. This place the pastor occupied during the 
 catechetical exercise, and from thence propounded the 
 questions in the catechism, passing in order down the line. 
 The catechism was also taught in the common schools, and 
 recited at the end of the week. The first Sunday School 
 Superintendent was Dea. Thaddeus Clapp, a man upon 
 whom more civil and ecclesiastical honors were bestowed 
 than upon any other one man in the history of the church 
 or town. 
 
 For a time it was the custom to hold a Sunday morn- 
 ing prayer meeting for the Sunday School. It was held 
 in the house of Widow Hophni Clapp, the house next the 
 hotel, now occupied by Miss Miller. It. was held during 
 the half hour before service. For many years after 
 Dr. Williston's dismission he was the teacher of 
 a class of elderly people. The next superintendent, 
 according to the memory of Wm. N. Clapp, was his father, 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 23 
 
 Solomon Clapp, who, upon the withdrawal of Dea. Clapp, 
 was nominated by Mr. Williston. Another of the early 
 superintendents was Joseph L. Clapp, brother of the 
 clergymen, Sumner G. Clapp and Alender O. Clapp. 
 
 The early custom was to begin the school the first of 
 May and hold till November, closing for the winter with a 
 public exercise. The school assembled at its place of 
 meeting in the Center school house, marched down to the 
 church, were seated by classes, and listened to a sermon 
 from the pastor especially for the children. The text 
 book was the Bible, and the exercise was the recitation of 
 Scripture. Sometimes a card would be issued to each 
 scholar at the opening of the year's session, on which were 
 printed references to the portions of Scripture which were 
 to be committed to memory for each Sunday's lesson. 
 Sometimes there would be a strife to see who would learn 
 the most. Occasionally a prize for the most proficient. Few 
 adults were members of the school, except as teachers. 
 A library was early established in connection with the 
 school, of which Joseph Clapp was for a long time librarian. 
 After 1826 Ichabod Wright and Daniel Lyman each had 
 the superintendency twice, two years each time. Dr. Zal- 
 mon Mallory two years. Dea. Ithamar Clark three or four. 
 Josiah Lyman, Ahira Lyman, Seth Warner, Lauren D. 
 Lyman, were among the superintendents before the di- 
 vision of the church. The first superintendent after the 
 division was Rev. Luther Wright, who was succeeded by 
 Dea. Ithamar Clark, Asaph L. Wait, Ahira Lyman, Lauren 
 D. Lyman. During the superintendency of Lafayette 
 Clapp, in 1861, a record book was obtained and has ever 
 since been kept. The office he resigned when he enlisted 
 in the 27th regiment, and was succeeded by Edmund W. 
 Clarke, who resigned upon his enlistment in the 52nd regi- 
 ment. It was held by Pay son W. Lyman in 1862-3; then 
 by Lewis Clapp, two years; Lafayette Clapp, seven years; 
 by James Keene, four years; J. H. Judd, seven years; by 
 H. A. Parsons, two; now by W. H. Jenkins. 
 
 The school, during the war, lost not only its superin- 
 tendents Clapp and Clark, but also its librarian and chor- 
 ister, Oliver A. Clark, and its secretary and treasurer, 
 Daniel W. Lyman, the former of whom was captured by 
 the Confederates, at Drury's Bluff, and died in Anderson- 
 ville; the latter of whom was killed in battle at Port Hud- 
 son, June 14, 1863. In the office of secretary and treasurer 
 he was succeeded by Watson H. Wright, who has held the 
 office ever since, excepting two years, when it was held by 
 N. H. Ranney. Mr Wright has thus held the office 21 
 years. The average attendance upon the exercises of the 
 school has steadily risen since 1861, with hardly any falling

 off. Only two of the present board of teachers 
 were at the head of classes when the present speaker 
 was superintendent, in 1862; and of the 215 members at 
 that time, only 31 now belong to it. The contributions 
 were formerly small. From '61 to '66 they averaged less 
 than $30. Since then there has been a very considerable 
 advance, so that for the last eight years they have aver- 
 aged $240, and last year were $290. 
 
 The pastor now has a class in a separate room, which 
 numbers 125, with an average attendance of about 70. 
 
 The primary department for several years has been 
 held apart from the main school. In all departments, there 
 was last year a total membership of 477. The average at- 
 tendance of the past 25 years has been less than sixty per 
 cent of the total membership of the school. 
 
 I wish that my time for hurried preparation had al- 
 lowed me to speak of some of those men and women 
 whom the church has raised up and sent forth from its 
 membership into other portions of the Lord's vineyard; 
 men like Theodore, Thornton W., and Sumner G. Clapp, 
 Azariah, and Elam C. Clark, Solomon, Addison, and 
 Horace Lyman, Edmund Wright, Francis and Justus 
 Janes, and Silas C. Brown and others who have served in 
 the active ministry of the Word. I wished to speak 
 more fully of the work of the parish, to do more complete 
 justice to the labors of the pastors' co-workers in 
 official relation to the church, but the time has already 
 passed and I must forbear. 
 
 As we dwell on what the gospel has here accomplished, 
 let us remember that it has lost not a particle of its power; 
 that nothing has diminished its sovereign efficacy. The 
 Gospel is still the power of God unto salvation to those 
 who believe. It still bears on the problem of Christian 
 living, in the midst of an ungodly world. Those who are 
 perishing may account it foolishness. It will no doubt 
 confront their evil courses. But it is the power of God 
 and the wisdom of God nevertheless; and it they will but 
 believe, they will see it to be so. Paul and Apollos and 
 other Christian ministers are of small consequence as 
 compared with the head of the church; and loyalty to 
 them, though well, is of little consequence relatively, ex- 
 cept as required by loyalty to Him. Let believers be sure 
 that they are true to Him. This sometimes despised, but 
 really glorious and mighty Gospel, is ours. It is that by 
 which we are to seek the salvation of the lost. If we use 
 it, we shall not find it to fail us. It has been wisdom and 
 righteousness, and sanctification and redemption, to a 
 countless throng. It has interpreting and vindicating, it 
 has reconciling and cleansing power still. There is in it 
 
HISTORICAL ADDRESS. 25 
 
 now as of old, and never more than now, the power of an 
 endless life. It has been the inspiration to heroic Christian 
 endeavor in all the Christian ages. In it the martyrs have 
 triumphed. By it the missionaries of the cross have been 
 and still are inspired. It has been the living solace, and 
 the dying support, of many a soul in the fires of affliction. 
 By it the degraded have been lifted into Christian man- 
 hood; the proud have been humbled, and made the spir- 
 itual brethren of the lowly; the wealthy have become 
 charitable; the poor have been made trustful and patient. 
 It has not everywhere triumphed, for it has not every- 
 where been tried. But this is what it does when it has its 
 way. Would to God that we could all feel in the depths 
 of our souls that its way is the best way. Would to God 
 that we might all feel" and confess its power; that we 
 might all joyfully yield ourselves up to its control, and en- 
 deavor to illustrate in our own persons, the self-sacrifice, 
 the Christian zeal, manifested by our fathers, the glowing 
 love, of which the cross is the perpetual symbol, of which 
 it is the most sublime and matchless example, to which 
 it is the ever living and most effectual incitement. 
 
THE FIRST CONFESSION OF FAITH AND COVENANT. 
 
 Adopted by the church at its organization. 
 
 CONFESSION. 
 
 We believe in one living and true God, Father, Son 
 and Holy Ghost, the Creator, Preserver and Governor of 
 the heavens and earth, and all that are in them; that He 
 made man upright, in his own image, and entered into a 
 covenant of life with him, as including all his posterity, on 
 condition of perfect obedience; but he, left to the freedom 
 of his own will, sinned in eating of the forbidden fruit, 
 and thereby exposed himself and all his posterity to death, 
 temporal, spiritual and eternal; that God, who is rich in 
 mercy, in the fullness of time, sent his Son in our nature to 
 redeem and save us, promising pardon and salvation to 
 them that believe in him ; that all such are immediately 
 justified and sanctified, and shall be kept by the power of 
 God through faith unto salvation; that the supernatural 
 efficiency of the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary to re- 
 new the heart and recover apostate man from sin to holi- 
 ness; that they who are thus renewed will by divine help 
 persevere in the ways of well doing even to the end; that 
 the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the word 
 of God, and contain a perfect and sufficient rule, both with 
 respect to faith and practice; that Christ hath appointed in 
 his church two only sacraments, viz. : Baptism and the Lord's 
 Supper, and that baptism is to be administered, not only to 
 adult professors, but also to their infant children; and at 
 the last day Christ will return to this earth, raise the dead, 
 and judge the world, and introduce his saints to the full 
 possession of his kingdom, and condemn the wicked and 
 ungodly to everlasting fire. 
 
 COVENANT. 
 
 Sensible that it is a solemn and awful thing to transact 
 with the ever living Jehovah, we do now, in the presence of 
 God and of one another, renewedly devote and consecrate 
 ourselves to God, and engage, with divine assistance, to 
 
28 CONFESSIONS AND COVENANTS. 
 
 walk iii all his commandments; to encourage and support 
 the regular and stated administration of his worship and 
 ordinances among ourselves, and to maintain proper dis- 
 cipline in this church, and to subject ourselves to it as the 
 word of God requires and enjoins. We ;;lso promise to 
 watch over one another in the spirit of love, meekness and 
 gentleness. 
 
 THE SECOND CONFESSION OF FAITH AND 
 COVENANT. 
 
 Prepared by the pastors of thn churches in Southampton, East- 
 hampton and Westharppton,— Revs. Vinson Gould. Pnyson Wilhston and 
 Enoch Hale,— and adopted by the church Apr. 19, 1S26. 
 
 CONFESSION. 
 
 I. You believe that God is the eternal and infinite 
 Holy One; that he is Jehovah, who exists in the persons of 
 the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; that he is the Cre- 
 ator, the Preserver, and the Lord of all worlds; and that 
 he is supremely worthy of love, homage and obedience. 
 
 II. You believe that God made Man in his own image, 
 and that, constituting him the representative and surety of 
 his posterity, he entered into the covenant of life with him 
 on the condition of perfect obedience. 
 
 III. You believe that Adam, by eating the forbidden 
 fruit, fell from the covenant of his God, and subjected him- 
 self with all his posterity to sin and death; and that in 
 consequence of his transgression all mankind are by nature 
 destitute of holiness, and children of wrath. 
 
 IV. You believe that God, in his great love, was 
 pleased to bring to light his eternal purpose of grace in 
 Christ, in restoring fallen man to his image and favor; and 
 that, when the fullness of the time was come, he sent forth 
 his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, that they who believe, 
 having redemption through his blood, might receive for- 
 giveness of sins and everlasting life. 
 
 V. You believe that repentance toward God. and faith 
 toward our Lord Jesus Christ, producing the fruits of holi- 
 ness, are indispensable preparatives to final salvation. 
 
 VI. You believe that it is the special office of the 
 Holy Ghost to make application of the benefits of redemp- 
 tion; and that his providences, holy word and ordinances, 
 are means with which he works in convincing, converting, 
 
CONFESSIONS AND COVENANTS. 29 
 
 and sanctifying the elect. 
 
 VII. Yon believe that it is the command of Christ, to 
 remember the Lord's day to keep it holy; to respect the 
 Christian ministry, the preaching of the word, baptism, 
 the Lord's Supper, and prayer; and that it is binding on 
 you, whenever Providence gives opportunity, to attend on 
 all sacred ordinances as instituted by him for his church. 
 
 VIII. You believe that all whom the Holy Spirit re- 
 news, walk by faith, persevere in holiness, and are kept by 
 the power of God, through faith unto salvation. 
 
 IX. You believe that the Scriptures of the Old and 
 New Testaments are the word of God, and are a rule of 
 faith and practice perfectly sufficient for all men, in every 
 age of the church. 
 
 X. You believe the great doctrines of Christ's return 
 to this earth, the resurrection of the dead, and the final 
 judgment; when he will render to every human being 
 according to the deeds done in the body, introduce the 
 saints to the full possession of his kingdom, and condemn 
 all the wicked to everlasting punishment. 
 
 COVENANT. 
 
 In the presence of this assembly, and the infinitely 
 awful presence of the holy God, you avouch the Lord 
 Jehovah, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, to be your God. 
 You covenant and solemnly promise, in humble reliance on 
 divine grace, that you will walk in the way of his word, 
 obeying all his commands, and will glorify him in your 
 body and your spirit which are his. Before God, and the 
 Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, you promise, that, 
 by gracious assistance, you will observe and keep all the 
 laws of Christ's kingdom, will honor him in his house, by 
 attending, as Providence shall enable you, on his instituted 
 worship, will assist faithfully to support the administra- 
 tion of his ordinances, and maintain in love the discipline 
 of his church, to which you also will cheerfully submit. 
 These duties you promise, through grace, to fulfill, in this 
 church, so long as God shall continue you a member of it, 
 and to the end of your life in whatever place God shall 
 assign you, adorning, at all times, the doctrines of God our 
 Saviour. And sensible that it is a solemn thing to transact 
 with the living God you thus covenant. Amen.

 XL 
 
 It is expected that all members of other churches 
 worshiping with us, will present letters within one year

In the autumn of 1886 the following preamble was adopted by the 
 church in the place of that previously in use: 
 
 Dearly Beloved: 
 
 Our Lord has left us this blessed promise, "Whosoever 
 shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before 
 my Father which is in Heaven." 
 
 In view of this promise, and of the obligations and 
 privileges contained therein and enforced by other pas- 
 sages of the blessed Word, and also being desirous of obey- 
 ing the Saviour's command, "This do in remembrance of 
 me," you have presented yourselves before God and this 
 assembly to make a solemn confession of your faith in 
 Jesus Christ, and to take upon you the bonds of the ever- 
 lasting covenant. 
 
 You will now attend to our Confession of Faith. 
 
FORM OF ADMISSION. 
 
 Dearly Beloved: 
 
 Our Lord has left us this blessed promise, "Whosoever 
 shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before 
 my Father which is in Heaven." 
 
 In view of this promise, and of the obligation and 
 privilege contained therein and enforced by other passa- 
 ges of the blessed Word, and also being desirous of obey- 
 ing the Saviour's command, "This do in remembrance of 
 me," you have presented yourself before God and this 
 assembly to make a solemn confession of your faith 
 in Jesus Christ, and to take upon you the bonds of the 
 everlasting covenant. We trust you have considered well 
 the nature of this transaction, the most solemn and mo- 
 mentous in which a mortal can ever engage, and that you 
 are prepared, by Divine aid, to give yourself away, a living 
 sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, through Jesus Christ 
 our Lord. 
 
 You will now attend to our Confession of Faith. 
 
 W t e believe in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy 
 Ghost, the only living and true God; in Jesus Christ, the 
 incarnate Word, who is exalted to be our Redeemer and 
 King; and in the Holy Comforter, who regenerates and 
 sanctifies the soul. 
 
 W t e believe in the common sinfulness and ruin of our 
 race, in the need of repentance and faith toward Jesus 
 Christ; and we acknowledge that it is only through the 
 work accomplished by the life and expiator}^ death of 
 Christ, that we are justified before God and receive the 
 remission of sins; and that it is through the presence of 
 the Holy comforter alone that we hope to be delivered from 
 the power of sin, and to be perfected in holiness. 
 
34 FORM OF ADMISSION. 
 
 We believe also in an organized and visible Church; 
 in the Ministry of the Word; in the Sacraments of 
 Baptism and the Lord's Supper; in the resurrection of the 
 dead; and in the final judgment, the issues of which are 
 eternal life and everlasting punishment. 
 
 We receive these truths on the testimony of God, 
 given originally through prophets and apostles, and in the 
 life, the miracles, the death and the resurrection of His 
 Son, our divine Redeemer, — a testimony preserved for the 
 Church in the Old and New Testaments, which were com- 
 posed by holy men as they were moved by the Holy Ghost 
 and which we recognize as our only rule of faith and 
 practice. 
 
 Do you accept this as your own confession of faith 
 
 Candidates shall bow assent. 
 
 Baptism of those not baptized in infancy. 
 
 Those baptized in infancy shall be thus addressed. 
 
 Do you, dedicated to God in childhood through bap- 
 tism by believing parents, now accept their act, with the 
 obligations and privileges involved therein, as your own, 
 and declare your belief that the regeneration thereby 
 symbolized has been wrought in you by the Holy Spirit ? 
 
 Those addressed shall bow assent. 
 
 You will now enter into solemn obligations with 
 your Maker and with this Church. 
 
 You solemnly covenant with God in the presence of 
 His people: 
 
 To take Jehovah the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit 
 to be the object of your supreme affection and your 
 portion forever; 
 
 To take Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Redeemer; 
 
 To take the Holy Spirit to be your Sanctifler, Com- 
 forter and Guide; 
 
 To take the Word of God as your rule of thought and 
 action, and his people to be your people; 
 
 To dedicate yourself, soul and body, time and talents, 
 powers and possessions to the service of God; 
 
 To observe, Grace assisting you, the commands and 
 ordinances of God, remembering his Sabbath day to keep 
 it holy; 
 
 To seek the honor and interests of Christ's kingdom, 
 and henceforth, denying all ungodliness and every worldly 
 lust, to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present 
 world.

 Dearly beloved: 
 
 In uniting with this Church you solemnly covenant and 
 promise, in the presence of God: 
 
 To attend faithfully upon its services; 
 
 To support its public worship and ordinances; 
 
 To uphold its faith, sustain and obey its rules and 
 discipline; 
 
 To honor it as you may be able by an upright walk

 To labor and pray for its peace and purity, its edifi-

 We then, members of this church, do now, affectionately 
 and cordially, receive you to our membership, promising to

 our prayers, to walk with you in joy and in sorrow, and 
 in every way possible to help you on in the divine life. 
 
 Now, unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, 
 and to present you faultless before the presence of His 
 glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God, our 
 Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both 
 now and ever. Amen.
