FIRST CHURCH IN GLASTENBURY.
HISTORICAL NOTICES.
Wethersfield, of which Glastenbury originally formed a part, is the oldest town in the State, its first settle- ment having been commenced in the year 1634, by per- sons who had resided for a time in Watertown, Mass. A Church was probably very soon organized by the new settlers, but it is doubtful whether they had a Minister installed over them till the year 1641. In that year, there is reason to believe, the Church was reconstituted, and Rev. HENRY SMITH became its Pastor.
On the 8th of May, 1690, the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut granted to those inhabitants of the town of Wethersfield who resided on the East side of Connecticut River, an Act of Incorporation, under which they became a distinct town by the name of Glas- tenbury.
As the result of the division of the town of Wethers- field, the Church was also divided by the organization of the First Church in Glastenbury, July 28th, 1692.

Accommodations for Public Worship were immediately provided by the erection of the first Meeting-house on the "Green." Rev. TIMOTHY STEVENS received and ac- cepted a call to the Pastorate of the new Church, which office he held till his death. Mr. Stevens was graduated at Harvard University in 1687. The inscription upon his tomb-stone is as follows: "Here lieth interred the body of the Rev. Timothy Stevens, the late faithful Pas- tor of the Church of Christ in Glastenbury, who died, April 14, 1726, in the G1st year of his age."
The second Pastor of this Church, Rev. ASHBEL WOODBRIDGE, was ordained and installed on the 4th Wednesday of October, 1728. He was born at Hart- ford in 1704, and graduated at Yale College in 1724. The following inscription is copied from his tomb-stone : "Here lies interred the body of the Rev. Ashbel Wood- bridge; a great Scholar; an excellent Divine; a wise Peace-maker. He shone with uncommon lustre in every station of life, until he fell asleep, August 6, 1758, in the 55th year of his age, and the 30th of his Ministry."
During the ministry of Mr. Woodbridge, in the year 1731, the Church was divided, and a second Church, within the limits of the then newly incorporated Society
of Eastbury, was organized. On the night of the ninth of December, 1734, the Meeting-house on the "Green" was consumed by fire. Measures were immediately ta- ken to erect a new House of Worship, 44 ft. by 56 ft., which was located in the street, about one quarter of a mile South of the "Green," and dedicated April 21st, 1736.

Rev. JOHN EELLS, son of the Rev. Nathaniel Eells of Stonington, was the next Pastor. He was graduated at Yale College in 1755. He was ordained and installed, June 27th, 1759. He died, May 17th, 1791, in the 55th . year of his age, and the 32d of his Ministry.
Rev. WILLIAM BROWN, a graduate of Yale College in 1789, was ordained and installed as Pastor of this Church, May 17th, 1792. He held this office till Janua- ry 25th, 1797, when he was dismissed. He has since died.
Rev. WILLIAM LOCKWOOD, who was graduated at Yale College in 1774, was installed over this Church, August 30th, 1797. He had been previously settled in Milford, from which charge he had been dismissed on account of the failure of his health. He continued his labors here until his health again gave way, and the connection be- tween him and his people was dissolved, May 1st, 1804. He continued to reside in Glastenbury until his decease, which occurred, June 23d, 1828, in his seventy-sixth year.
Rev. PRINCE HAWES, a graduate of Williams College in 1805, was ordained and installed Pastor, June 24th, 1807. He was dismissed early in the year 1820. He. died in 1848, aged 64.
Rev. CALEB BURGE, a graduate of Middlebury Col- lege in 1816, who had been twice settled in Vermont, was installed over this Church in August, 1821, and dis- missed, Nov. 23d, 1825. He died in 1838, at the age of 56. He was the anthor of a standard treatise on the Atonement.
Rev. SAMUEL H. RIDDEL, the next Pastor, was gradu-
6
ated at Yale College in 1823. His ordination and in- stallation took place, June 27th, 1827. He retained his Pastoral Charge until Feb. 19th, 1837, when he entered the service of the American Education Society. He held the office of Secretary of that Society for many years.
Near the close of Mr. Riddel's ministry, yiz., Decem- ber 22d, 1836, "the Congregational Church of South Glastenbury" was organized, forty members of the First. Church having been dismissed with a view to the new organization. As a consequence, the First Ecclesiastical Society decided to change their center of worship, and erect their present Church-edifice, which was completed and dedicated on the day of the Rev. James A. Smith's Installation.
Rev. JAMES A. SMITH succeeded Mr. Riddel. He was graduated at Yale College in 1826. Having been settled at Somersworth, N. H., for a period of six years, he was installed Pastor of this Church, Dec. 5th, 1837- an office which he held until January 6th, 1858, when he was dismissed at his own request.
The present Pastor, Rev. AMOS S. CHESEBROUGH, was graduated at Yale College in 1835. He held the Pastorate of the Congregational Church in Chester, Conn., for a period of more than eleven years, when he relin- quished his charge on account of ill health. He was set- tled in Glastonbury, July 14th, 1858. During the Summer of 1859, the present House of Worship was enlarged and remodeled. It was reopened for divine service on Sunday, August 28th, of that year, with appropriate exercises.

ARTICLE XV.
Finally : . You believe in the resurrection of the body, and a general judgment; and in the eternal blessedness of the righteous in heaven, and in the endless misery of the wicked in hell.

13
COVENANT.
You do now, in the presence of the ever living and heart searching God, His holy angels, and this assembly, solemnly avouch the Lord JEHOVAH, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, to be your God, your Re- deemer, Sanctifier, and Everlasting Portion. You give yourself [or yourselves] and all you have to him; con- fessing that your many sins have deserved His wrath, and building your hope of acceptance alone on His mer- cy, manifested through the infinite atonement. You do of choice take the word of God as the only rule by which to regulate your faith and practice. You cheer- fully engage, depending on His grace, to lead a life of piety and devotion towards God, and of uprightness and charity towards men; and to keep yourself [or your- selves] unspotted from the world, making Christ your example, and the building up of His kingdom your su- preme object.
You sincerely dedicate yourself [or yourselves] to the service of Christ in this Church, faithfully covenanting that you will walk honestly and orderly with us, in all the ordinances and institutions of the Gospel; and that you will submit to the discipline and watch of this Church of Christ, and do what in you lies to promote its purity; peace, and edification ; and among other means to effect this, you promise to be tender of the character of its members, avoiding. slander and evil speaking; and to re- II.
14
prove, and receive reproof, in the spirit of meekness. In fine, you engage, depending on the grace of the new covenant, not to turn back from your profession, but to walk with God, and with His people, all the days of your life.
Do you, as far as you know your heart, freely consent to this Covenant ?
We then, as a Church, do cordially receive you into our fellowship and communion, with gratitude to God that He has inclined your heart to His service. We promise to treat you with Christian affection ;- to watch over you with tenderness; and to pray that the great Head of the Church would enable you to fulfill the sol- emn covenant which you have now made.
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you ; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." "Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the pres- ence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."
This Covenant should often be solemnly renewed in the closet, and especially before every communion-service.
