In 1894 the interior of the church edifice was taken out to the frame, and was built and furnished entirely new. The whole aspect of the interior was changed. A new organ was purchased, a valuable clock placed in the steeple and eight memorial windows in the audience room. A room to be used for social meetings and church parlor was nicely furnished, also a room for the library.
A large room for pastor's study was finished above the parlor, and showing from its windows the finest views to be seen from any building in the town. The entire expense was paid previous to the dedication, which took place October 23, 1894.
The following order of worship was used, and is inserted in this history at the request of many persons who regard the oc- casion as the beginning of a new era in the history of the church.

HYMN,
Tune, Nicæa.
Holy, Holy, Holy ! Lord God Almighty !
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee :
Holy, Holy, Holy ! merciful and mighty, God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity !
Holy, Holy, Holy ! all the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea ;
Cherubim and Seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, Holy, Holy ! though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see ;
Only Thou art holy ; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love and purity.
Holy, Holy, Holy ! Lord God Almighty !
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea, Holy, Holy, Holy ! Merciful and Mighty,
God in three Persons, Blessed Trinity ! Amen.
INVOCATION, . Rev. E. C. Starr, Cornwall.
RESPONSIVE READING, Rev. A. W. Gerrie, West Torrington.
PSALM xxiv.
The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof ; The world, and they that dwell therein.
For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD ? And who shall stand in his holy place ?
He that hath clean hands and a pure heart ; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity and hath not sworn deceitfully.
97
HISTORY OF GOSHEN.
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob. Lift up your heads, O ye gates ; And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors : And the King of glory shall come in. Who is the King of glory ? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates ;
Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors : And the King of glory shall come in. Who is the King of glory ? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. .
ANTHEM.
SCRIPTURE LESSON, 1 Kings xiii : 22-61.
Rev. A. H. Norris, Torringford.
Tune, Swanwick. HYMN,
O Thou, whose own vast temple stands, Built over earth and sea, Accept the walls that human hands Have raised to worship Thee.
Lord, from thine inmost glory send, Within these walls t'abide, The peace that dwelleth without end Serenely by Thy side.
May erring minds, that worship here, Be taught the better way ; And they who mourn, and they who fear, Be strengthened as they pray.
May faith grow firm, and love grow warm, And pure devotion rise, While, round these hallowed walls, the storm Of earth-born passion dies.
SERMON, .
By the Pastor.

HISTORY OF GOSHEN.
DEDICATORY HYMN. Words by Rev. J. L. Daniels, D.D., Olivet, Michigan. Tune, Triste.
Holy he this house forever, Consecrate, O Lord, to Thee. Holy be its service ever, Humble, grateful, loving, free. Holiness Thy house becometh, Purity Thy face shall see, God in glory ever cometh, Where the contrite bend the knee.
Guiding with Thy love most gracious, Here Thou heard'st the father's prayers. Memories linger doubly precious ; Brightest blessings they have shared.
Words of life have here resounded, Tongues aglow with sacred flame ; Works of faith full oft abounded - Deeds of love in Jesus' name.
Firmly too in God confiding, Build we here our pilgrim home. Gladly now in love abiding, We Thy grateful children come. Come to meet our blessed Saviour ; Come to greet our Father's face ; Come to seek the Spirit's favor, And to share his heavenly grace.
Joyful then our gift we proffer, Dedicate this house to Thee ; Here anew ourselves we offer, Thine forevermore to be. Dwelling place of light and glory ! School of faith and work and love ! Till with raptured song and story, Glad we greet our home above.
ADDRESSES BY VISITING CLERGYMEN. DOXOLOGY. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow ; Praise Him, all creatures here below ; Praise Him ahove, ye heavenly host ; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

HISTORY OF GOSHEN.
During the entire history of the church and society, they have been noted for punctuality in the payment of financial obligations. For ninety years there has been no failure in the payment of the minister's salary at the time and the amount agreed. The church has always been and still is a benevolent church. The offerings for the cause of Home Missions con- tributed on the first Sunday in May, for the five years, 1802- 1806, were as follows for the churches named: Hartford, first, $412.99; Farmington, first, $404.57; Goshen, $488.17. Hart- ford and Farmington churches were among the largest in the State and both noted for their wealth. During the last fifty years the contributions and bequests of this church have been upwards of $50,000 for objects of benevolence outside the parish and town. In the seven years, 1889-1896, the ben- evolent contributions have been more than $5,000, and the parish expenses $16,000.
In the year 1890, the 150th anniversary of the church was celebrated. The occasion was one of great interest and called together one of the largest gatherings of people, from the town and abroad, ever seen in its history. The week opened with special services in the church Sunday, August 31, con- ducted by former pastors who were present, and a sermon by the Rev. Dr. A. C. Thompson, of Boston, and a son of Goshen. It will be found upon the pages of this book, and is published at the request of many who desire to hand it down to those who shall come after them. The Historical address was delivered by the writer, September 3, and was printed. The Rev. Mr. Doubleday and the Rev. Mr. Hazen, the only former pastors of the church who were then living, and the Rev. Mr. Lord, a former supply, were present, and contributed to the interest of the occasion.
