In the same year he joined the New York east conference and was stationed at Middlefield, Conn. In September of that year he married Mary F. Barnard of Marlboro, Mass. His successive appoint- ments since have been ; Clinton, Simsbury and Wolcottville, all in this state. Twice he has been compelled through ill health to tem- porarily relinquish the work of the ministry. During the first period

of rest the parsonage at Middlefield was burned with all his library and household goods.
He is a very acceptable minister, much esteemed in his own church and through the whole community, and notwithstanding poor health, attends to the labors and interests of his parish with as much success as those do ordinarily, who are perfect in health. He is now closing his pastorate in the Wolcottville church, having been stationed here three successive years.
THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
Soon after the Woolen Mill began its manufacturing work, the Revs. Alexander Gillett and Samuel J. Mills began to deliver lectures, or short sermons in Wolcottville on
which work they continued a number of years, considering it a part of their pastoral and ministerial duty thus to do. As the Methodist brethren had not restrained themselves from coming into their parishes and preaching, so they judged it not out of order for them to come into the Methodist parish and give lectures, and especially when a number of their old church members lived here and near the place. But these aged ministers were not always to preach. For our sakes we are sorry, but for their sakes we are glad. What would that dignified, learned, serious Father Gillett say if he were to come to Wolcottville in these later days ? What would Father Mills say ? Perhaps to save them, that their hearts might not be sore vexed with- out comfort, they were taken away that they might not see the doings of these later days. When, therefore, they were not able to con- tinue this extra work, regularly, Parson Jeremiah Hallock from Sims- bury came and preached. Mr. Goodman settled in 1822, in Torringford, and being younger he helped on the cause in this new field of religious enterprise.
About 1820, the brick building now standing a little way south of the American House, was built, and a part of it was to be a union meeting house. Whether any denominations except the Universalist occupied it is not definitely stated. It was used for a time as an academy. Thus was the gospel preached in Wolcottville, in one place and another, by various ministers of different denominations for nearly twenty years, without having an accepted consecrated house of worship.
Under such circumstances Capt. Uri Taylor, son of Joseph, led

the way, others aiding him as best they could, and built the first Con- gregational meeting house ; and although Capt. Taylor was building committee on his own responsibility, yet with such men around him as those who united in organizing the first society he was not alone in this work. There was one good thing about this method of build- ing a meeting house, they had no contending parties, and clashing of judgments, and unending hatred after the house was built. So far as history tells us, all were well satisfied, the house was paid for, and was a very proper and comfortable house of worship. Mr. Taylor gave the site for the house and furnished a large part of the money needed in the building, and thus did a noble work. He also built the parsonage in the same way, and passed the whole property, of meet- ing house and minister's dwelling, into the hands of the society, with- out any claims except the reservation of one pew in the Church for his descendants as long as they shall choose, or shall be here to oc- cupy it.
This being done, the " Village Society in Torrington was organ- ized on the third day of December, 1829, at the house of Captain Taylor, and the following persons became members of the society :
Lyman Wetmore, Elijah Phelps,

Soon after this society was formed, the Rev. William R. Gould, then pastor of the Torrington church, was employed to preach a certain portion of the time for one year, the First society consenting to the arrangement. This arrangement continued until February, 1832, when Mr. Gould was dismissed by council from the Torring- ton church, and Wolcottville looked in other directions for preach- ing. During the year 1831, the Rev. David Miller and other Methodist ministers were employed the portion of time that Mr. Gould did not preach here.
On the thirteenth day of August, 1832, the society voted to give the Rev. Hiram P. Arms a call to settle in the work of the gospel ministry. But before a pastor could be settled over a church, there

must be a church, and the next orderly thing to be done was to effect such an organization. This was done, June 11, 1832, ac- cording to the order of the denomination, by a committee of the Litchfield north consociation, delegated for the purpose. Twenty- one persons were recceived by letter and eight by profession of their faith, as constituting the church as follows :
David Baldwin,
Lyman Wetmore.
Mrs. Sarah Baldwin,
Mrs. Betsey Wetmore,
.
Sarah Ann Baldwin,
Lorrain Wetmore,

Mrs. Elizabeth Eno,

George D. Wadhams,
John Hungerford, Abigail Taylor,
Mrs. Lucy Wadhams.
The church being thus organized Rev. Hiram P. Arms was in- stalled first pastor of this church and society in February 1833.
The importance and success of this church is set forth in very appropriate language by another as follows :
" During all the years of effort by the people of Wolcottville to ensure its rapid growth as a business place, a little band of thoroughly earnest Christians were watching, working and praying, with a long- tried patience, and a wrestling faith for the establishment of a church of Christ, and for such help of the Holy Ghost, as would lift up a standard effectually against the abounding wickedness of the place. While Christopher Wolcott, the devout and efficient agent of Frederick Wolcott, in managing the mill, and other kindred spirits which his position enabled him to bring to his aid, were trying to sow some good seed, the Methodists were contending nobly for truth and righteousness as well ; and the older members of this church speak with becoming respect and affection of their fellow disciples of the common Master.
" From the organization of the church, the mutual action of the church and society has been harmonious, and a commendable zeal, prudence and liberality has marked their efforts to sustain the ordi- nances of religion. Without zealous stickling for mere points of
Louisa Wetmore,

order in their mutual work, they have accomplished much toward the civil, social, educational and religious culture of this community, and their out look upon the opening future is full of hope and pro- mise. But since the church is an institution of divine appointment, and since it is by inspiration called the body of Christ ; it is meet and proper that in its relation to other agencies, it should always have the precedence without regard to numbers, wealth, or earthly dis- tinctions. Any society that does not choose to have this rule ob- served is radically defective in its character as an ecclesiastical society ; and any church that does not make the fitness of this rule apparent fails to execute its high commission." I
The settled pastors have been : Hiram P. Arms, Stephen Hubbell, Samuel Day, Samuel T. Seelye, Ralph Smith, Edward W. Bacon, and Lavalette Perrin, and the following have been stated supplies : E. S. Clark, R. M. Chipman, W. L. Adamson, George B. New- comb, and others. It will be seen that during the forty-four years of its history, this church has had a settled pastor about twenty eight and one-half years ; and acting pastor about six and a half years.
" The benefit of the Home Missionary Society, in this state, is realized, to some extent, in the aid this church received, for several years from its commencement, making it possible to have a settled pastor when otherwise it could not; and giving it strength until it acquired strength of its own.
" The membership of the church has steadily, though slowly in- creased in numbers, although its forty-four years of effort and labor have been amidst great national struggles and calamities.
" The Sabbath school, under different forms, with such intervals as circumstances have made inevitable, has been sustained from the first. Indeed before there was pastor, church or society, Mrs. Charles Hungerford maintained such a school, on Sabbath morning and she attending service after it at Torringford. From that time forward the school has steadily increased until the numbers in it are nearly equal to the numbers in the regular service of the congregation.
" The membership of this church has steadily though slowly in- creased in numbers from the first. There have been seasons of special religious interest in the community, but no very remarkable times of refreshing, such as are on the records of other churches, have been experienced by this church. The following are the years

in which ten or more persons were added to the membership of the church :

1867, 39,
1876, 10.
1852, 34,
1873, 10,
" Other years of its history have indicated more or less of spiritual vigor, but it has not been equipped and furnished as some churches are for aggressive work. From its membership of twenty-nine at the start it has increased to one hundred and seventy-five, at the present time.
" All the ordinary means of grace have been sustained, and for a number of years the plan of Sabbath offerings has been successfully maintained, and thereby the benevolent institutions of the times receive monthly attention to the noted credit and honor of the congre- gation ; the average amount is about eight hundred dollars annually.
" The service of song, has quite uniformly been rendered to the edi- fication and quickening of all true worshipers, and from the be- ginning of its history this society has been favored with a specially competent choir, who have cheerfully and faithfully sustained this important service.
" This church and society have occupied two, and in a qualified sense three houses of worship. This is a matter usually controlled by the society, and from the first there have been a few men of sound wisdom and high toned morality, worshiping with the church, though not members of it, who have infused energy into all the move- ments of the society, and enriched its records with many wise and liberal acts." ™
Certain extensive repairs were made on the house of worship, es- pecially the upper part of it, in 1844, as to render it, in appearance inside, like a new house, and thus was provided what was practically the second Meeting house of this society, which served its purpose satisfactorily, for the term of twenty years.
In 1864, the question of reconstructing the Meeting house and building or fitting up a conference room was brought before the an- nual meeting, and this proved to be the beginning " of that protracted, perplexing, and nobly sustained effort of the society, which, after long continued struggles, resulted in the solid, chaste, and truly beautiful granite edifice now standing as a Sabbath home. Though the vicissi-

tudes of the enterprise were many, and made doubly burdensome by the failure of the contractors, in the early stages of the work, to ful- fill their engagements, yet it was carried to completion by the force of unyielding purpose and resolution, to the general satisfaction of those interested. The contract was taken by a New York firm, for the sum of nearly nineteen thousand dollars, and when the last bill was paid the sum had increased to over thirty-two thousand dollars ; and as in all such cases, those who do most at the commencement, are quite certain to do most in the final closing up of indebtedness so in this case ; the first were last. It is, therefore, a beautiful monu- ment of earnest, wise, and well directed energy in the accomplishment of a noble Christian object,"1 and will be appreciated for many years to come, by those who shall worship there.
