Rev. Jonathan Murdock followed Mr. Todd, having been installed as pastor, 1774, soon after Mr. Todd's dis- mission. He continued his ministry eleven years, till 1785. He began with forty-three members, twenty-four males and nineteen females. During his incumbency, nineteen members were added, of whom fourteen were females, so that during the whole period only five male members were added to the church ! and for aught that
* There is a record of the renunciation of the Jewish religion, by Abraham Hoyt, March 13, 1737 ; also two votes of the church- the last 1748.
t While it does not appear that this church was greatly strength- ened by that revival, it is known to have strongly agitated many minds, and to have produced some disorders, the effects of which have not even yet wholly disappeared. Some of the best members of this church, of the last generation, holding these disorders, and the number of false conversions in remembrance, had a great hor- ror of night-meetings, so called, considering them inseparable from similar scenes of wildness and of license. The fact seems to be that both then and now, in all real and powerful revivals, as well as in those of more doubtful character, there will be more or less of disorder, unless the people are well instructed in the nature of true religion, and guided by discreet and competent religious teachers.

appears, these might have been added by letter. That the church during these eleven years did not gain ground in numbers, is shown by the fact that when Rev. Isaac Lewis, his successor, was settled, there were but forty-seven members. But we must recollect that Mr. Murdock's ministry covers the entire period of our Revolutionary struggle, when there was little else, especially in this region, but disorder, rapine, and dis- tressing exactions.
The marked prosperity, temporal and spiritual, of this church and society, may be said to date from the settle- ment of the Rev. Isaac Lewis, Sen., October 18th, 1786. His ministry was the longest you have enjoyed, save that of Mr. Todd. By the testimony of all, Dr. Lewis was a great and good man, wise in counsel and faithful in labors. Ilis preaching was plain, impressive, and solemn ; and though the period covered by his pastorate . ,was, for the most part, one of general spiritual dearth, yet the church was materially increased in numbers, and still more in strength and general resources." His min- istry was closed at own request, December, 1818. The vacancy occasioned by his resignation was supplied by the settlement of his son, Rev. Isaac Lewis, Jr., on the
* Mr. Lewis was settled over this church at a critical period of its history-1786. Greenwich bordering on New-York, when the city was in the hands of the British troops, was often the theatre of rapine and violence on the part of lawless men. At the close of the War, little was left, save the naked earth. There were peculiar circumstances in Mr. Lewis's settlement marking the presence of God's hand. IIe united a divided people, and built up a strong religious society. The tide of worldly prosperity set in about 1793, chiefly in connection with the cultivation of the pota- to, for which the soil proved admirably adapted, and which a near and good market made a most profitable crop, through a series of years.

. day that the father was dismissed, December 1st, 1818. Under his ministry, in 1823, there was a powerful work of grace which added many to the church. He was dismissed April 16, 1828. . Soon after, in the spring of 1828, another revival was enjoyed. It began in the academy under Mr. Grosvenor's principalship ; and through the preaching and labors of Mr. Saxton, as a stated supply for four months, was extended into the succeeding summer-bringing about one hundred souls to Christ and adding about seventy to the church.
Rev. Joel Mann was the next pastor. Ile was in- stalled Sept. 1st, 1830. During his ministry, of about six years, there were several seasons of special religious interest, and large accessions were made to the church. Mr. Mann was dismissed, at his request, August 23d, 1836. His successor was Rev. Noah Coe, who was installed as pastor May 23d, 1837, and continued his ministry till May 20th, 1845. During his ministry about 200 were added to the church ; the larger part in the revival of 1839 -as the fruits of which, 90 were added to the church.
After the dismission of Mr. Coe, the pulpit was sup- plied for about two years, successively by Frederick G. Clark, Rev. Ebenezer Mead, and George Bushnell. There were added to the church during this period, and chiefly under the ministry of Mr. Clark, something over 30 members. My ministry, beginning Dec. 8, 1847, has now extended over eleven years. I have not computed with exactness the additions which have been made to the church during this period ; but they will not vary much from 190. About 50 of these have been by letter. The rest have been mostly gathered in as the fruits of three revivals-those of 1850, 1854, and 185S. The church is now larger than at any former period of
19
its history-numbering 333 members. This religious prosperity is by no means what we might have realized, if, as a church, we had been more faithful, but whatever it is, we owe it to the free grace of the Great Head of the Church. He has poured out his Spirit upon this people, in a marked manner, at least eight different times within the last forty years, that is, on an average once every five years. The least number HOPEFULLY converted, at any one of these seasons, is not less than 30; and the greatest number is over 100. In all, it is thought about 700 souls, as the fruits of these successive works of grace, have been turned to God ; and about 600 added to the church. What would have been the condition of this church and society to-day, had God in just judgment for our sins, withholden from us the rain of righteousness, and left us like the heath in the desert ? Some churches may have been equally pros- pered, by smaller and yet more frequent spiritual harvests. But in our country, this has not been ordi- narily so, with our largest and best churches. They have gained their chief strength, as we have, from re- vivals. And ought we not to expect that as the latter day glory of the Church draws on, these seasons will be more frequent and their fruits more pure and per- manent ? If God had not thus poured out upon us his Spirit, no tongue can tell what might ere this have been our condition. Surely we ought to come into his courts to-day with overflowing hearts. We ought to think and talk of " his loving kindness in the midst of his temple." " What shall we render unto the Lord for all his benefits ?" " We will take the cup of salvation, and call on his name."
This house was first occupied for worship as al- ready stated-1799-twelve years after Dr. Lewis's
20
pastorate began. In it, the chief strength of his life and ministry was spent ; and here he gathered the best fruits of his labors. Under each of his successors there has been one or more powerful works of grace, and nearly all the converts above referred to, were gathered in within these walls, and sat down successively for the first time around the table of the Lord in this house. Does it not impart a kind of sacredness to the place ? I confess that the thought of leaving such a spot-the birth-place of so many souls-affects my own mind, and no doubt still more yours, especially since not a few that hear me to-day -- though many, alas! are not-were here first baptized with water, and after- wards with the higher baptism of the IIoly Ghost. It would not be creditable to you, not to feel on this sub- ject. But remember, brethren, that though many inter- esting, solemn and joyful things had been done in the tabernacle, and the Lord had filled it with his glory, and there given gracious answers to prayer, so as greatly to endear it to the pious in Israel-yet when the exi- gencies of his cause and worship required a larger and more costly edifice, and the people were more able to build, the tabernacle must give place to the temple ; and the people were called upon to transfer their affec- tions from the former to the latter. As was remarked on a recent occasion, there is rarely a new house of God, built by a society, without its being a trial to some, and especially to the more aged members. Diversities of judgment and feeling also in relation to such a mea- sure, seldom fail to be brought out. It was so, I am assured, to some extent when this house was built, though the necessity for the movement was urgent. In some minds there was opposition, if not to the move-

ment itself, yet to things connected with it. Still there was no schism : and thanks to God, there never has been -in this church and society, so far as I can learn-from the first laying of its foundations in 1705, to this hour. You have had wide differences and earnest debates on various questions ; but you have kept together, and soon the differences and troubles have melted away. You have felt it your duty in such cases, to be, as Paul exhorts, in subjection one to another, and to use great forbearance in the spirit of love. Without this spirit, neither Christian churches nor Christian ministers can do much for Christ and his cause. We are at best frail, short-siglited and fallible creatures. Individuals err, and chu. ches and societies err. In State and in Church we consent to be governed by majorities, but majorities may and do err. Still, we have no better rule in all prudential matters, than to follow their lead; and no reasonable man would ask that the rule should be changed. I have learned in a life now considerably ex- tended, and in a field of observation not narrow, that it is not safe where wise and good men differ, as to what . is best and most expedient, in prudential matters, and especially where there is more or less feeling enlisted, to be too positive, since in a sober review we often find occasion to revise and change our opinions. This has · led me when I have committed a matter of this kind to God, and it is not decided or shaped in the event, to suit me-to hope for the best, and to go forward and do my duty -- resting in this, that those whose judg- ments are at least as trustworthy as my own, may in the end appear to be right, and if not, God can overrule all for good. I therefore study contentment and " the things that make for peace." This is at least the way to lay off burdens that would crush us -- to keep a
22
cheerful spirit and labor for God with unimpaired strength. And now, brethren, I commend you to God and the word of his grace. I feel that the present crisis is not without its .embarrassments, and possibly hazards-yet God seems to have shut us up to an ad- vance movement: and when we review your history, and see how mercifully He has dealt with you for more than one hundred and fifty years, how can we help trusting him still ; or how help believing, that instead of his having brought you thus far, only that Satan may distract and destroy you -he has done all the great things of the past, only as a pledge of the greater things he will do for you in the future ?*
* It seems proper there should be in connection with this IIis- torical Discourse, a brief description of the new house of worship which we are to occupy. The following is believed to be correct.
The site of the building is on the highest point of land on the main road leading from New-York to New-Haven. The plan of the building was prepared by LEOPOLD EIDLITZ, Esq., of New- York, and has been much admired. The entire material is native granite quarried in the near neighborhood, except the corner-stone, which was presented to the society by Mr. MILNE, of Stamford. The edifice is of the Gothic order of architecture. The main au- dience-room consists of a nave, 104 feet long, and 86 feet wide ; tran- sept, 72 feet wide. The nave projects in front some 26 feet beyond the aisles, in which projection, on a platform slightly elevated above the floor, is the choir. The front of the church faces the south, and commands an extended view of Long Island Sound. On the south-west angle, entirely disengaged from the church, but connected with it by a low porch, is a tower and steeple, about 212 feet high. On the south-cast angle is a stair-case turret, similarly disengaged, which is 16 feet square. The whole front is 112 feet. The extreme length of the building, including the chapel, is 138 feet from outside to outside. The interior is finished with an open roof, sustained by arched sections, which are supported by a series of posts and attached columns. The windows are of stained glass. The house was dedicated to the worship of the Triune God, Dec. 8, 1858. In the corner-stone of the church were deposited a brief manuscript history of the church, and various other documents.
