THE EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.
The Episcopal Church of St. Paul's Parish was in- corporated in 1737, and a small building erected, which was afterwards converted into a parsonage, and a larger one, fifty-five by forty feet, erected in 1743. In 1779 this was burnt, together with the town of Nor- walk, by Gen. Tryon; but in 1780, when the people had been impoverished and scattered by this disaster and the removal of their pastor, the parish erected a temporary church edifice, and in 1785 rebuilt upon the former foundation. The building was consecrated by Bishop Seabury. In 1840 the society unanimously resolved to build the edifice now erected, seventy-seven
by fifty-five feet; tower projecting nine feet; vestry in the rear, nine feet; height of the steeple, one hundred and fifty feet.
The following is a list of the clergy who have officiated in this parish since its incorporation : 1737, Rev. Henry Caner, a missionary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts; 1738, Rev. Richard Caner; 1749, Rev. John Ogilvie ; 1751, Rev. John Fowle ; 1756, Rev. Dr. Dibble, of Stamford ; 1758, Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Leaming, who was removed by Gen. Tryon in 1779; 1780, Rev. Dr. Dibble, of Stamford; 1784, Rev. John Bowden, D.D .; 1789, Rev. Mr. Foot; 1790, Rev. George Ogilvie; 1797, Rev. William Smith, D.D .; 1800, Rev. Henry Whit- lock; 1811, Rev. Bethel Judd; 1813, Rev. Mr. John- son ; 1814, Rev. Bethel Judd; 1816, Rev. Reuben Sherwood; 1830, Rev. Mr. Atwater; 1830, Rev. Jack- son Kemper, D.D .; 1835, Rev. James C. Richmond ; 1836, Rev. William Cooper Mead, D.D. The present pastor is Rev. C. M. Selleck.
TIIE NORWALK BAPTIST CHURCH.
This church was organized Aug. 31, 1837, in the First Congregational church, the council being composed of delegates from the churches in Weston, Danbury, Stamford, Stratfield, and Redding. The first officers of the church were: Deacons, Noah Wecd, Andrew Turney ; Clerk, Alonzo C. Arnold. The first pastor was Rev. William H. Card. The constituent mem- bers were Noalı Weed, William Wakeman, Andrew Turney, Josiah Raymond, Jr., Alonzo C. Arnold, Mrs. Abby Fitch, Mrs. Betsey Gaylor, Mrs. Eliza Mills, Mrs. Sarah Stephens, Mrs. Catharine Fitch, Mrs. Charity Smallhorn, Mrs. Mary Knapp, Miss Emily Knapp, Miss Hannah Knapp, Miss Julia Burchard.
The church edifice was commenced in the spring of 1839, and dedicated March 11, 1840.
Name and term of service of each pastor : 1838-39, Rev. William H. Card; 1840-47, Rev. James J. Woolsey ; 1847-50, Rev. J. Chaplin ; 1850-51, Rev. N. Boughton ; 1851-53, Rev. J. J. Woolsey ; 1853-56, Rev. William C. Ulyat; 1856-59, Rev. L. D. Gowen ; 1859-61, Rev. George W. Lasher; 1861-73, Rev. O. W. Gates ; 1873, Rev. E. D. Bentley.
The present officers are : Pastor, Rev. E. D. Bentley ; Deacons, A. Ambler, D. M. Fillow, C. P. Turney, R. A. Fillow, and S. Arlington; Clerk, J. L. Ambler ; Treasurer, R. A. Fillow ; Prudential Committee, pastor, deacons, and clerk. The number of present members is two hundred and fifty-four.
The church was originally composed in part of members of the Milton Baptist Church, which dis- banded at the time this church was organized. It worshiped for a time in the academy, then standing on the green, afterwards in the town-house, until their church edifice was dedicated, in 1840. The pastorates of Revs. Woolsey, Gowen, and Gates were those in which the church made the most progress.

NORWALK.
In 1870 the church building was entirely renovated and remodeled inside, and refurnished, the repairs costing about fourteen thousand dollars. The Sun- day-school has a membership of two hundred and twenty-five, and has been fifteen years under the superintendeney of J. L. Ambler.
FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH NORWALK.
The first Methodist sermon was preached in this place in 1787 by a young minister named Cornelius Cook, but Methodism was formally introduced into Norwalk-as, indeed, in New England-by Jesse Lee. Stevens, in his " History of Methodism," says, "On the 17th June, 1789, Jesse Lee preached his first sermon in New England at Norwalk, Conn." He was denied the use of either house or barn for this purpose ; so, taking his stand on the public ligli- way, under an apple-tree and surrounded by about twenty hearers, he says, "I preached on John iii. 7: 'Ye must be born again.' " In his diary he wrote, "After preaching I told the people that I intended being with them again in two weeks. Who knows but I shall yet have a place in this town where I may lay my head ?"
The organization of a church occurred in 1790, and the services were held in the old red school-house that stood on the site now occupied by the store of Nash Brothers. Here a remarkable revival occurred in 1816. In this year the society felt strong enough to erect its first house of worship, on the site of the present church. This building remained until 1843, when a new one was substituted for it, capable of holding about four hundred and fifty persons, and in 1856 was enlarged, and is the one now occupied by the society.
One name stands conspicuous among the early men- bers of the church,-viz., that of Absalom Day, a man of unusual ability. Devoted to all the interests of the church, he served it with great fidelity and success. Gideon Wilcox was also a prominent member and officer of the church in its early days, and gave to it three sons,-Noah, William, and Matthew,-who each served the church faithfully and well.
Norwalk continued as a part of a circuit, served by two or more itinerant ministers, each preaching in regular turn, until 1834. Among these were Elijah Hebbard, Abram S. Francis, and others. The pastors that have served the church since it became a station are as follows: 1834, Luther Mead; 1835-36, Davis Stocking; 1837-38, Josiah L. Dickerson ; 1839, Cyrus Foss; 1840, William Thatcher; 1841, Gad N. Smith ; 1842, L. C. Cheney ; 1843-44, Harvey Husted ; 1845- 46, William C. Hoyt; 1847, Jacob Shaw; 1848-49, Buel Goodsell ; 1850-51, S. W. King; 1852-53, Mor- ris Hill; 1854, L. A. Nickerson ; 1855-56, F. Bot- tome; 1857, George C. Crevy ; 1858-59, Hart F. Pease ; 1860-61, J. J. Woolley ; 1862-63, Albert Nash ; 1864- 65, L. P. Perry ; 1866-68, W. H. Simonson ; 1869-71,
D. A. Goodsell ; 1872-73, W. H. Thomas; 1874, F. P. Tower; 1875-77, W. H. Simonson (second term) ; 1878, W. II. Boole; 1879-80, J. V. Saunders, the present pastor.
Among the membership who have taken a deep interest in and rendered substantial aid to the church was the late Mr. Ebenezer Hill, who long and faith- fully ministered to the temporal and spiritual welfare of the church until called to his heavenly reward, in the year 1875.
The present officers of the church are: Trustees, Ebenezer Hill, William H. Duncan, Burr Nash, C. F. Hallock, J. P. Trelhuff, Charles Smith, Dr. Mossman, Seth Remington, James Golden; Stewards, C. H. Wheeler, Henry I. Smith, James A. Brown, John B. Wheeler, J. S. Dunning, L. P. Foote, Franklin A. Smith, Charles E. Seymour, John W. Powell; Class- leader, William S. Bailey. The present membership is three hundred and fifty.
There is connected with the church a flourishing Sunday-school, of which Thomas I. Raymond is the superintendent. It has fifty-one officers and teachers, two hundred and eighty scholars, and four hundred and twenty-five books in its library.
Since the organization of the church three others have been formed from it,-viz., the Second Meth- odist Episcopal Church, at Norwalk, the Third Meth- odist Episcopal Church, at Rowayton, and the Fourth Methodist Episcopal Church, at East Norwalk, each of which, like the parent church, is in a flourish- ing condition. Thus, if ninety-three years ago Meth- odism was planted in Norwalk by the hand and heart of Jesse Lee, every door barred against him, and only the highway to receive him, it has grown and flourished until now it has four churches, over one thousand members, and an equal number of Sunday- school children. The prophecy of the old pioneer of Methodisin has been fulfilled when almost a een- tury ago he wrote, " Who knows but I may yet have a place in this town where I may lay my head?" for. were his return to earth a possible event, lie would see that he had not labored in vain.
SECOND METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.#
Although the congregation had met as an organiza- tion for some time previous to 1861, with Dr. Asa Hill, local elder, as preacher, it appeared for the first time on the minutes for that year, when the first Confer- enee preacher was sent to them. No more definite history of the organization or of the first officers ap- pears on record, nor any account of the number of members.
The church building was ereeted in 1860, and dedi- eated December 6th of that year by Bishop Janes. The pastors have been : 1861-62, Nathaniel Mead; 1863-65, Samuel H. Smith ; 1866-68, John S. Breck- enridge ; 1869-72, I. Simmons ; 1873, John Pegg, Jr. :
