The last words which Mr. Potwine was heard to utter were : " Christ is my all and in all." And the Rev. Mr. MeClure, the pastor of the South Church in East Windsor, chose them as the text from which he preached his funeral sermon, November 17, 1802. Colossians iii. 2. - " Christ is all and in all."


His monument, in the Seantic graveyard, bears this inscription : " Sacred to the memory of the Rev. Thomas Potwine, first Minister of the Second Church in East Windsor, he was a native of Boston, and educated at Yale College, 1751, settled in the gospel ministry here, 1754, where he continued more than 48 years, the faithful pious pastor of an united people, his useful and exemplary life, thro' the grace of his Saviour, was erowned with peace and triumph in death. He deceased Nov. 15th, 1802, aged 71 years."


Though his people had now no spiritual leader, and many who had been members of the society had either withdrawn their aid or united in opposition, still the business of the society went steadily on.


At a meeting on the 10th of January, 1803, it was


". Voted, That Caleb Booth be and he is hereby appointed agent for this society to apply to the association for advice and assistance in procuring a candidate to preach the gospel to them on probation.


"Voted, To raise two cents on the dollar, on the list of 1802, for the purpose of paying the expenses on the meeting-house, already arisen, and likewise to build a pul- pit.'


March 28 instant, 1803, at a meeting duly warned and held :


"Toted, To finish off the new meeting-house in this society complete by the first day of December next; the stairs in the steeple to be included in finishing said house.


"Votel, To raise six cents on the dollar, on the list of Aug. 20, 1802. lo defray the expense of the same, to be paid at 3 several payments, viz .: $ tirst of Oct .. 1803; } first

of October, 1804; } first of October, 1805; and that the rate-bills be immediately made (11, that any persons so disposed may pay their proportions at once.


"Voted, That John Morton, Job Ellsworth, and Thomas Potwine he the committee to finish said house."


At an adjourned meeting, 6th of June following, it was


"Yoted, To raise five mills on the dollar, on the list of 1803, to defray the expense of hiring a clergyman to supply the pulpit in this society."


Mr. Booth had been successful in procuring a candidate, the Rev. Shubael Bartlett ; and the above tax was laid for the purpose of paying him for his services. After preaching some months as a candidate, Mr. Bartlett received a call from the society to settle as their pastor. The preliminary meeting for that purpose was held 28th November, 1803 ; by a large majority vote. 84 affirmative, 12 in the negative. He was to have 8.00 as a settlement, and a yearly salary of $450, so long as he should be able to supply the pulpit, and if disabled from preaching, one- half the salary to be deducted. He was also to have the use of the ministerial lot.


These terms being accepted by Mr. Bartlett, he was ordained as their pastor, 15th of February, 1804.


In 1809 a bell and clock were purchased by subscription and pre- sented to the society, and provision was made for their care and use by Mr. Thomas Tarbox, at a salary of $22 per annum. In October, 1812, it was


" Voted, That the following shall be the regulations for ringing the bell:


" The bell shall be rung at 12 o'clock in the day, and nine at night, five minutes each time. After ringing the bell at nine at night, to toll the day of the month.


"It shall ring every sabbath morning at half past nine o'clock, fifteen minutes, it. shall ring at meeting time five minutes, and then toll until the minister comes and enters the desk.


" In like manner before a lecture.


" It shall ring for a death five minutes; for a male about ten years old, it shall strike three times three strokes; for a female over ten years of age it shall strike three times two strokes; and for a child under ten years of age, three strokes; and then it shall strike the age of the person deceased; and then it shall be tolled fifteen minutes. It shall be tolled at a funeral when requested.


" It is not to be tolled for a death after the sun is down."


We find no mention made of stores for warming the meeting-house until October, 1825, when it was


" Voted. To give liberty to the inhabitants of the second society in East Windsor, lo put a stove or stoves into the meeting house, provided they shall be the property of the society so long as the society shall suffer them to remain in said house."


But nothing was effected in this direction until the 2d of January, 1827, when it was

" Voted, To raise three-fourths of a cent on a dollar, to defray the expenses of put- ting up stoves and pipes into the meeting-house - to provide fuel for the same, aml a man to attend to the stoves."


Seating the Meeting-House.


The first notice in regard to peux is recorded at a meeting of the society in December, 1759, when a committee was appointed to finish the meeting-house with pews. Whether the committee completed the work is doubtful, for no mention is made of their doings, nor was any money voted for that purpose. In 1769 eighty pounds was raised for the pur- pose of finishing the meeting-house, and Ensign Lemmel Stoughton, Capt. Jonathan Bartlett, and Simeon Woleott were made a committee to see to it. The next year, December 10, 1770, we find the first notice of seating the meeting-house, so that, in all probability, the pews were not completed until then. The seating committee were James Harper. Sim- con Wolcott, John Thompson, Jr., Ensign Lemuel Stoughton, and John Prior.


In 1785 and 1790 the pews were reseated, Capt. Hezekiah Bissell, Major Lemuel Stoughton, Capt. Caleb Booth, Joseph Allen, Esq., and Ebenezer Watson, Jr., committee. Again the house was seated in 1794. and October 6, 1800, the last committee for seating the meeting-house was appointed, viz. : Samuel Stiles, Samuel Bartlett, Thos. Potwine, Jr., Benjamin Loomis, James Chamberlain, Stoddart Ellsworth, and John Pasco.


After the erection of the new house, in 1802, the congregation took possession of the new pews ; probably, according to some principle which had been virtually established during their occupancy of the off house: but in October, 1826, it was


" Voted, That the Society's Committee be directed to embrace in their warning, at the next annual meeting, to see if the society will hus the pews in the meeting-house in this society for one year - or whether they will do anything relating to & ling the pews, or «ating the meeting-house."


The society was divided on the question, and it rested until October, 1832, when it " Voted, To lease the pews for one year to raise money to defray the expenses of the society the current year and to discharge the debts now due from the society," and this method of seating the meeting- house has since been adopted with slight variations.


Singing.'


Attention to singing, as a part of the worship of the sanctuary. has always been held among this people as of great importance, and very

SINGING IN SCANTIC CHURCH.


early in the history of the society we find the subject alluded to and pro- vision made for its maintenance.


At a meeting of the society in December, 1758, among other resolu- tions for the good of the society, we find the following :


" Total. To raise eight pounds to hire Mr. Beal or Mr. Wilson to teach us to sing."


At a meeting of the society in April, 1771, it was


". J'uted, To introduce singing by rule in the congregation."


This resolution, it would seem, did not meet with approbation, for at a meeting of the society next year it was in offert rescinded. as follows :


" Voted, Not to act upon the article of singing in the congregation."


There were doubtless wise men among them, who, as soon as they perceived what testy folks singers were, resolved to let them have their own way, either to sing in unison, or each one "on their own hook," - merely insisting upon the following regulation, which should be in force for one year :


" Voted. To sing in the congregation without reading line by line, a part of the time, not exceeding one-half. until the next annual meeting of the society."


At the next annual meeting it was


" Voted, To continue the singing in the congregation, as agreed upon at the last meeting."


Among the Stoughton papers, quoted by Mr. John A, Stoughton, in his Windsor Farmex (p. 97), is the following petition :


EAST WINDSOR,


Sepr. yo 9, 1772.

At a meeting of the society. held in January, 1794, the following resolution was passed :


" Voted, To raise one farthing on the pound on the list of 1793, for the purpose of hiring a singing-master to instruct in the rules and arts of singing Psalms, so that sing- ing in divine worship may be performed derently dud orderly in this society."


The peculiar wording of this resolution rather leaves an impression upon the mind that things were not. in respect to that department of the exercises, just as they should have been. And the society appears now to be in earnest to correct the evil, for at the next annual meeting another farthing on the pound was raised. and Major Caleb Booth empowered to hire a singing master for the winter.


Again, in 1796, a vote was passed to raise one-half penny on the pound for the purpose of hiring a teacher "to learn the inhabitants of this society the rules of singing psalms in the congregation," and Daniel Osborn was appointed a committee to carry the resolution into effect.


The last singing school for the benefit of worship in the old church was in the winter of 1800 and 1801.


At a meeting held 6th October, 1800, it was


" l'oted, To raise two mills on the dollar, on the list of 1800, for the use of hiring a singing-master the ensuing winter.


" Toted. That Capt. Asahel Stiles should procure a singing-master."


Since the erection of the last meeting-house, and during the ministry of Mr. Bartlett, singing schools were enjoyed every few years : the pas- tor himself always attended them, for he not only took a great delighi in sacred music, but he believed that the meeting together of the younger part of the congregation to engage in this exercise had a happy influence on their minds, and he has often been heard to say that he could date the beginnings of several revivals of religion from the close of the sing- ing-schools. His prayerful watch over them did, no doubt, much to pre- vent the evils which have come upon other ecclesiastical societies from this source.


In 1841 the meeting-house was remodeled and finished in a style of modern convenience and elegance.


In 1847 Mr. Bartlett was induced, by the infirmities of age, to request the assistance of a colleague pastor.

REV. SHUBAEL BARTLETT.


Accordingly the society chose the Rev. SAMUEL J. ANDREWS, who was duly ordained to his office in October following, "and commenced his peculiar and responsible duties, for which by nature, and more especially by the grace of God, he was in an eminent degree qualified."


In 1854 the society was bereaved by the death of the venerable second pastor.


The Rev. SHUBAEL BARTLETT was born at Lebanon, Conn., 2d of April, 1778. His father, Mr. John Bartlett, was a deacon in the Congregational church at Lebanon, and in a direct line could trace his ancestry to John Alden, of the Mayflower emigration to Plymouth, 1620, and the whole line of pedigree runs through those who were professedly pions persons. Ile was a man of plain circumstances, working with his own hands at the shoemaker's trade, but training his family in the fear of God. And in his declining years, having lost his wife, and his children being seat- tered abroad, he left Lebanon and closed his life at the house of his son. Rev. Shubael Bartlett, at East Windsor.


Mr. Shubael Bartlett's record says: "If ever I was born again, 1 have reason to hope that it was some time in the springing of the year A.D. 1794." Hle mited with the church in June of the same year, when sixteen years of age.


His mind turning towards the ministry, he commenced his prepara- tory studies with Rev. Zebulon Ely, and, in Sept., 1796, entered as fresh- man at Yale, his expenses being defrayed by teaching and some perqui- sites received for service in college. He graduated in #800, commenced the study of theology under Dr. Dwight, and was licensed to preach the gospel in 1802. January 7, 1803, he received the invitation from the East Windsor Church to preach to them as a candidate, which resulted in a call. and he was ordained to that pastorate Feb. 15, 1804.


Mr. Bartlett was eminently a consistent Christian ; remarkable for evenness of deportment. He seemed always to realize his accountability to God for all his conduct towards his fellowmen, and believed it not only wrong to indulge in harsh consure, but even in harsh thoughts of others. As a true child of God. he carnestly sought the care and conn- sel of his heavenly Father, and, thus connecting the care and will of God with his daily interests and duties, he may be said truly to have traveled the path allotted to him with the sensible presence of his Ahnighty Friend, hallowing every scene and making even its darkest passes radiant with the light that streameth from heaven.


Mr. Bartlett's style of preaching was not calenlated to please a fas- tidions taste: and the matter of his preaching was rather practical than doctrinal. He never studied to adorn his discourses with the graces of elocution, and perhaps regarded with too much indifference the manner in which the truths which he wished to enforce were presented. And


608


HISTORY OF ANCIENT WINDSOR.


while, indeed, he would not keep back the prominent articles of our faith, yet they were never brought out in their startling boldness so as to lead the minds of his hearers to revolt at them or to create a disputatious spirit. He was fully conscious that " we now see only in part," that many things " were hard to he believed," and could never be made quite clear in our imperfect state. But, "to love the Lord with all our heart and our neighbor as ourself," to repent heartily of sin, to lay hold on Jesus as the great Saviour of the soul, to do works meet for repentance, and to walk by faith on the Son of God -these were within the grasp of the mind, and upon these he dwelt.


His attention to the children of his flock was also a peculiarity in his ministrations. He never passed a child without some token of special notice, and, for many years, could call any child among his people by name. He walked before his people a living example of true religion, upon a plain, steady path of unaffected piety. The tongue of scandal was never heard against him; he never wandered into a dubious path, nor did an act of questionable character. He loved his people; he did his best for their temporal and eternal welfare, and his record is in many hearts on earth, and, we doubt not, well registered in heaven.


The last public services at which he officiated were in December, 1853, at the consecration of the Congregational church at Broad Brook. An attack of influenza was then incurred, which finally deepened into what was evidently to be his fatal illness. He had no special prepara- tion to make on his own account ; he had been doing that for sixty years, and had no new arrangements to trouble himself with. He conversed freely about the event that was approaching, with the same calmness as was usual with him in reference to any concern in life.


By degrees he gave up his duties as the head of a family, as he had done those of a pastor of his flock, having placed in the hands of his colleague, the Rev. Mr. Andrews, the book of records belonging to the church, which for fifty years he had faithfully kept. The morning and evening service at the family altar was the last duty he resigned. No fear, no doubt, no cloud dimmed his clear vision, or troubled his passing spirit. And thus he sank to rest, June 6, 1854.


He was sueceeded by Rev. SAMUEL JAMES ANDREWS, D.D., son of Rev. William Andrews, pastor of First Congregational church at Dan- bury, Conn., 1813-27, and brother of the Rev. William Watson, Rev. Is- rael Ward, Rov. Ebenezer Baldwin, and Rev. Edward Warren Andrews. He was born at Danbury, Conn .; grad. Williams College 1839; was set- tled at East Windsor as colleague pastor with Mr. Bartlett, 20 Sept., 1848, and remained sole pastor about one year after Mr. B.'s death. He was dismissed 9 May, 1855.


The fourth pastor was Rev. FREDERICK MUNSON, born at Bethlehem,

Rev. and Prof. DAVID ELY BARTLETT. S. of Rev. Shubael Bartlett, b. Seantie parish, E. W., 29 Sept., 1805, graduated Y. C. 1828, and at once became a teacher in the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Hartford, where, with but slight interruptions, he remained until his death at 11., 30 Nov., 1879, being at the time the oldest teacher of the deaf and dumb in this country. This was due to the fact that he had been so eminently suc- - cessful in this department of instruction that he could not be spared from it. He had, to a remarkable degree, the qualities which fitted one to excel in this voiceless training. Of a most gentle nature, he had a lively sympathy with these children of misfortune: he was a natural ac- tor; and, when using the sign language before his classes, his whole body was full of this silent speech. His was a life of true Christian simplic- ity and beauty, and his death was greatly mourned. He studied theol- ogy at the Union Theological Seminary, New York city, and was a preacher, as well as a week-day teacher, to the deaf and dumb.
