FIRST CHURCH IN HARTFORD.
HISTORICAL NOTICES.
Tms Church was originally gathered in Newtown, (now Cambridge,) Mass., and was duly organized by the Installation of THOMAS HOOKER as pastor, and SAMUEL STONE as teacher, October 11th, 1633. It is supposed that William Goodwin was ordained as ruling elder, and Andrew Warner as deacon at the same time.
In June, 1636, Messrs. Hooker and Stone, with about one hundred of their people, removed to this place. Here the Church was permanently planted, being the first Church established in Connecticut ; and here the ordi- nances of the gospel have been regularly administered from that time to the present.
This Church embraced the territory now occupied by the Churches of the City ; of East Hartford, and of West Hartford. During the joint ministry of Messrs. WHITING and HAYNES, the former, with thirty-one members of the Church, withdrew and formed the South Church in this City, February 12th, 1669.
The Church in East Hartford was set off from this Church and received a separate organization in May, 1702; and that in West Hartford in February, 1713.
On the 23d of September, 1824, ninety-seven mem- bers received dismission from this Church, and were, with others, organized as the North Church.
On the 10th of January, 1832, eighteen members of this Church, having received dismission, were organized, with others, as the Free Church, now the Fourth Church.

CHURCH NOTICES.
1. A Prudential Committee is annually appointed, consisting of six members chosen by ballot, who with the Deacons, assist the pastor, by their counsel and influence, in promoting the peace and welfare of the church and in maintaining gospel discipline therein.
2. Persons wishing to profess religion and thereby become members of the church, are to give satisfactory evidence of christian character; and after having been examined by the pastor and approved by the prudential committee, and having been publicly propounded two weeks, are to be received by their profession of faith, and solemn, public assent to the covenant of the church.
3. Any person bringing a dismission and recommen- dation from a christian church, may be admitted to membership in this church, without a public assent to the covenant, after having been examined by the pastor and approved by the prudential committee. Testimo- nials in such cases are to be read to the church two weeks before the question is taken.
4. Members of this church, who remove out of town, are required to take a dismission from us, and unite with some church in or near the place where they reside, within one year after their removal.
5. Members of other churches wishing to commune with this church for more than one year, are desired to request a removal of their church relation to us, unless there be special reasons for delay.
6. This church holds itself ready, on due application, to dismiss and recommend its members to any other evangelical christian church ; but it is deemed an irreg-
7
ularity and a breach of covenant for any member to withdraw from its communion, without making such application.
7. The Lord's Supper is administered on the morning of the first Sabbath in January, March, May, July, September, and November.
8. The church, whenever they come to the table of their Lord, cordially invite those, who are in regular standing as members of other evangelical churches, of whatever name or denomination, to unite with them in celebrating his dying love.
9. Baptism is administered to adults at the time of their admission to the church,-to children in the after- noons of communion Sabbaths, and at such other times as parents find more convenient for presenting them.
10. Members, whether of the church or congregation, desirous, on any special account, of an interview with the pastor, will be visited at their own houses, by making known their wish to the pastor.
