Whatever the many different influences that helped on the project, there was a growing conviction of a growing necessity for the Church, a necessity in order to the honoring of Christ and the saving of souls; a necessity which within three years thereafter was freely acknowledged on every hand; and has in nine years been only the more fully confirmed.
At the beginning of the records of the Plantsville Church is a paper drawn in August, 1865. It is of the nature of an agreement among church members to ask for their letters in order to the formation of a new Church, provided that $1,000 a year for three years are pledged, and that not less than fifty shall join in the agreement. The names signed to it are fifty-four.
On the Society records appear some things earlier than this. On the evening of August 7, 1865, there was a meeting of nine brethren for consultation. A week later twelve were present, and they resolved to solicit names for members of a church, and pledges for its support. Fifteen days later, August 29th, a committee was appointed to confer with the pastor and deacons of the Church in Southington as to the best manner of forming a Church in Plantsville. A week after this, September 5th, this committee reported that the officers of the South- ington Church thought the proposed " action unadvisable, and that at most the Plantsville people had better try the experiment of preaching without the formation of a Church." It will be noticed that this experiment was thoroughly tried before the Church was organized. In the report of this meeting of September 5th, it is mentioned that the hymn beginning "I love thy kingdom, Lord," was sung.
September 12th; after prayer, and singing again " I love thy king- dom, Lord," Articles of Association for an ecclesiastical society were presented, accepted, and signed by twenty-three brethren.
September 19th; the first meeting of the Society was held. On the record appears this vote: " whereas, in our deliberations and efforts in
204
HISTORY OF SOUTHINGTON.
laying the foundations of this Society, we have been deeply impressed with the divine blessing upon prayer in connection therewith, There- fore resolved; that in the future, and of our successors forever, we request that the meetings of this Society be opened with prayer."
September 26th; the committee were directed to secure a preacher and a place of worship for the second Sunday in October.
The hall known as Cowles' Hall had for some years been used for religious worship. It had been one of the regular services of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Jones, to appear there as often as once in two weeks for a Sunday evening lecture. It was regarded as in some sense a preaching station of the Southington Church. The hall had for some time also been occupied during the day on Sundays for public worship by our brethren of the Methodist Church. These now withdrew, and the new enterprise was there cradled.
On Sunday Oct. 8th, two months after the first movement, about fifty persons gathered in the hall, and a sermon was preached by Rev. Cyrus W. Francis, now of Atlanta, Ga., then a Senior in Yale Semi- nary. His text was, "If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence." Ex. 33 : 15.
The next Sunday was stormy, but it is said, that, in proportion to the number engaged in the enterprise, so large a gathering in such a storm was never known in the village before or since.
During the week following, on the evening of Oct. 18th, a meeting was held, and, after some time spent in prayer, it was voted "That it is expedient to organize a church."
This was the decisive step. After two weeks more a letter was drawn up dated Nov. 1st, addressed to the Southington church, setting forth the reasons for taking that step, and asking for letters of dismis- sion. The letter is as follows:
PLANTSVILLE, CONN., Nov. 1st, 1865.
TO THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH IN SOUTHINGTON.
Reverend and Beloved :
After much prayerful consideration, believing it to be our duty to join in organizing a Congregational Church in this place, we, the undersigned, hereby request letters of dismission for that purpose; with such co-operation as your best judgment and the customs of our Churches require.
The reasons which have mainly induced this step are as follows : We have long felt and acknowledged that the extent of the field, and the numbers and ability of our Church, called for more diffusive efforts to bring within the sound of the Gospel great numbers who now neglect the privileges of the Sanctuary. Many such are resident in this vicinity ; and since, from the nature of their business as day laborers in our work- shops, they have neither occasion nor means to maintain horses, a great number, es- pecially of women and children, are unable to attend regularly the Church and Sabbath School.
These facts have developed a general desire for the establishment of those privileges
205
HISTORY OF SOUTHINGTON.
in our midst, and with this desire, has been lately manifested both the ability and the willingness to build a house of worship and to sustain the preaching of the Word. Such reasons, connected with the fact that this is the most populous outlying hamlet of our parish, lead to a belief that the wants of the people ean be better met by plant- ing a Church here than in any other locality ; but we trust that its benefits will not be confined to us. In so large a town, many must necessarily live remote from a house of worship, and we believe that the establishment of another Church would enable us with your co-operation, to carry not only Pastoral labors, but also the privileges of Social Prayer to our onter districts to a much greater extent than is now practicable.
Faithfully and affectionately,
YOUR BRETHREN IN CHRIST.
This was signed by sixty-three members of the church in Southing- ton. A committee was also appointed "to attend the next business meeting of that church and present such explanations and expressions of fraternal feeling for the members of that church as the occasion might require."
These sixty-three letters were granted without formal objection, and the ecclesiastical council which met on the 20th of December, approved the course taken, and recognized these brethren and sisters with five others bringing letters from other churches as constituting a church of Christ. At the public services, Rev. Dr. Leverett Griggs of Bristol, preached the sermon; Rev. Moses Smith of Plainville, led in the prayer of consecration; Rev. Levi L. Paine of Farmington, read the articles of faith and the covenant; and Rev. Elias B. Hillard of Ken- sington, extended the fellowship of the churches, and gave an address or charge to the new church.
Upon its recognition by the Council, the new church proceeded without delay, yet with much care and discussion, to complete its or ganization by the adoption of rules and the choosing of officers. The full system of rules was not agreed to for several weeks, but the manner of choosing deacons was first decided, and before the first Sun- day in January, 1866, ,brethren O. W. Stow, Henry D. Smith, and Stephen Walkley, were chosen deacons for the terms of three, four, and five years respectively. Rev. William R. Eastman first preached to this people, for three Sundays, in November, 1865; in December, he entered into an engagement with them for three months; in February, he was called to be their pastor, and was so installed by action of Coun- cil, April 4, 1866.1
The congregation continued to worship in Cowles' Hall for a year and a half with constantly growing numbers. The corner stone of

their house of worship was laid Aug. 6, 1866, and the following Spring, March 21, 1867, the building was dedicated. The first pledges for the support of public worship amounted to $1,300 yearly for three years. The salary offered to the pastor at the time of his set- tlement was $1,200 a year with four weeks vacation.
The first subscription to the church building was about $10,000, but it was afterwards increased, by the same subscribers substantially, to more than double that amount.
For some time, members of the Southington church residing in or near Plantsville, continued to appear with letters asking admission. Looking over the entire period up to the present time, June, 1874, it appears that 133 have thus passed from one church to the other, and three of these have afterwards gone back to Southington.
Not all of the 130 are in Plantsville now. Of the present member- ship at Plantsville, which is 222, 114 were once in the Southington church.
And now, looking back over nine years, or nearly that, we have reason devoutly and gratefully to recognize the hand of God in the separation, and to declare that his work has been enlarged by it. We may not all agree as to the wisdom of every step that was taken. We may not turn aside now to bestow either praise or blame upon those who were the chief actors in those events. They may have done too little, with too little wisdom and too little grace, but surely they have not done too much. But so that God has been honored in the result, and his kingdom advanced, we shall all rejoice together. And that our Lord may still be honored in these his churches, honored by their cor- dial loving fellowship, honored by their holy emulation in doing his work, shall be our constant and united prayer.

1 Mr Curtiss in his marriage record seldom gives the name of the woman married, but this omission has been supplied so far as it could be, from various sources. The names supplied are placed in brackets. Also, wherever the brackets are used in any of the records, the fact indicates supplied matter. The names are spelled as in the original, and it will be observed that the same record often spells the name in two or three different ways. I have preferred to leave the records just as they are.
