THE NEW CHURCH AND CHICAGO
Mr. North, from the committee, made the following report:
The committee having taken into consideration the propriety of employing a minister to attend at our annual meetings, visit receivers and readers, and preach with us, and perform the rites of baptism, etc., reports that it has ascertained that a sufficient sum of money can be raised to pay a preacher for coming among us, and attending our next annual meeting; and that we are able to pay an ample compensation for the services of a minister who shall visit and preach to us on the above occasion. The committee is convinced that much can be done by this means-particularly by conversation with a New Church clergyman on the various subjects relating to the doctrines, etc. The committee therefore recommends that the executive committee of the Association, to be formed at this meeting, take measures to procure the services of a New Church clergyman."
Voted, that said report be accepted and adopted.
Mr. Rawalt, from the same committee, made the follow- ing report:
The committee having taken into consideration the present condition of the receivers in this state, and what measures are expedient for us to adopt in our isolated situation, reports the following plan of an association, and recommends its adoption:
"Our Lord has said, 'Where two or three are met together in my name, there am I in the midst of them;' by which we are taught that the Church is social, and encouraged to meet together that we may become more receptive of the goods and truths of the Church.
'The scattered and isolated situation of most of the receivers of the heavenly doctrines of the New Jerusalem in the state of Illinois, inhibits the formation of ourselves into compact societies for regular worship and social delights on each Lord's day, and at the same time urges upon us the necessity of taking some more energetic and decided measures to come nearer to each other, and reap, at least in some degree, the benefits of the social sphere. Impressed with this belief, the receivers of the heavenly doctrines assembled at Canton, in Fulton county, in the
43
THE NEW CHURCH AND CHICAGO
state of Illinois, do form themselves into a society or association to be called 'The Association of the Receivers and Readers of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jeru- salem Church in the State of Illinois,' and adopt the fol- lowing rules of order for the government of the same:
"I. The officers of this Association shall be a presi- dent, a secretary, a treasurer, and an executive committee consisting of five members, of which the president, secre- tary, and treasurer shall be ex-officio members; all of said officers shall be elected by ballot, at a regular meeting of the Association; but vacancies may be filled by the executive committee.
'II. It shall be the duty' of the president to preside at all meetings of the Association, if present, and in his absence a president pro tem shall be chosen, who shall, for the time being, perform the duties of president.
"III. It shall be the duty of the secretary to keep a record of all the doings of the Association.
"IV. It shall be the duty of the treasurer to receive and safely keep all funds of the Association, and dis- burse the same upon the order of the executive committee.
"V. The executive committee shall have a general superintendence of the affairs of the Association, and it shall be its duty to take all such measures as it may deem orderly and necessary to disseminate the doctrines of the New Church, and to promote the general good.
"VI. This Association shall meet annually at such time and place as may be determined by a vote thereof.
"VII. All readers and receivers within the state of Illinois, or its immediate vicinity, are invited to become members of this Association, and to be present at its sessions, and to communicate to it any information they may have in relation to the state of the Church in their vicinity, and to make any suggestions which they may deem of use to the Association.
"VIII. This Association regards the payment of a part of the income of each member for the advancement of the uses of the Church, as a proper and necessary acknowledgment that we receive every blessing from the Lord, and expects that all of its members will contribute to the funds of the Association as the Lord shall give them ability."
44
THE NEW CHURCH AND CHICAGO
Voted, that the said report be accepted and adopted.
Mr. Rawalt, from the committee, also made the fol- lowing additional report:
'The committee, being strongly impressed with the importance of a proper observance of the Sabbath and family worship, would recommend that (in our isolated condition) where there is no opportunity to attend pub- lic worship of the New Church, the institution of private or family worship, in form similar to our plan of public worship, be observed at some certain hour on each Sabbath day; that is, that the head of the family should read a portion of Scripture from the Old and New Testaments, repeat the Lord's prayer, and become a teacher to the family, as a minister is teacher to the congregation, and that the family should unite in sing- ing, if convenient.
Your committee would recommend the use of the book of worship prepared by the General Convention.
As regards family worship, distinct from worship on the Sabbath, your committee does not feel disposed to dictate any particular time for the performance of the same, but would earnestly recommend daily worship, that we may live internally and externally in that state of dependence that we may feel the force of the words in the Lord's prayer, 'Give us this day our daily bread.'"
Voted, that said report be accepted and adopted.
The meeting then proceeded to the choice of officers of the Association for the coming year, and the following persons were elected: John F. Randolph, of Canton, president; Caleb North, of Rochester, Peoria Co., secre- tary; Jonas Rawalt, of Canton, treasurer; and E. N. Powell, of Peoria, and J. Young Scammon, of Chicago, members of the executive committee.
Voted, that the executive committee appoint the time and place for holding the next meeting of the Associa- tion.
Voted, that a condensed account of the proceedings of this meeting be forwarded to the editors of the New Jerusalem Magazine, and Precursor, for publication. Adjourned.

THE LEGAL ORGANIZATION.
There existed in Illinois, in 1843, a law under which, in towns located where there were Illinois and Michigan Canal lands, organized churches could, without cost, obtain title to a lot for a church building. This privilege, it was understood, would become inoperative in Chicago with the expiration of that year.
Mr. Scammon, knowing of the law and its possible end, effected a legal organization of The Chicago Society of the New Jerusalem, making use therefor of himself, his wife, and Mr. Vincent S. Lovell, being all the New Church people in the city, by making the following certificate, and under the organization so made Sept. 7, 1843, obtained for the Society title to a lot at the northeast corner of Adams street and Wabash avenue, seventy-six by one hundred seventy-six feet .*
The record of the first meeting and that organization is as follows:
THE FIRST MEETING.
At a meeting held at the house of J. Young Scammon, in Chicago, the following-named persons formed them- selves into a society for the purpose of religious worship, this seventh day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-three, and assumed the name of The Chicago Society of the New Jerusalem, to wit, J. Young Scammon, Mary Ann H. Scammon, Vincent S. Lovell.
*NOTE .- The deed conveying the lot to the Society is signed Augustus French, governor, and H. S. Cooley, secretary of state; bears date of issue June 14, 1847, and states that the act of conveyance is under a law approved Feb. 26, 1847, which is an amendment to a prior law.

FROM REMINISCENCES OF A PIONEER.
There was but one male member or full receiver of the doctrines in the city-Mr. Scammon himself. But 'Providence helps those who help themselves." Mr. Vincent S. Lovell, having come in from Elgin on business one day, was invited to Mr. Scammon's house. The
47
THE NEW CHURCH AND CHICAGO
matter of the Church and how to procure a lot was talked over. After tea the company assembled in the parlor-Mr. and Mrs. Scammon and Mr. Lovell. Mr. Scammon called the meeting to order; Mr. Scammon, chairman, Mr. Lovell, secretary, Mrs. Scammon, audience. They resolved themselves into "The Chicago Society of the New Jerusalem," and elected Mr. Scam- mon and Mr. Lovell trustees.
A record of their proceedings was made and certified. When with the certified record of the organization of the society, Mr. Scammon applied to the Canal commis- sioners for a lot, they were rather astonished, and inclined not to give a lot to a Church so very few in number; but Mr. Scammon insisted, saying, that although now very small, the New Jerusalem was destined to become the largest, if not the only Church in the world! The trustees yielded and gave the lot .- [See "Reminiscences of a Pioneer," by J. R. Hibbard.]
VINCENT S. LOVELL.
MR. SCAMMON'S FIRST CONVERT.
A letter from Mr. Scammon to the Convention of 1839 gives the names and residences of receivers of the doctrines in the state. Mr. Lovell is given as residing in Elgin, and his name appears as the correspondent in Elgin, of the Convention, until 1852, when it is succeeded by John Lovell.
The city directory of 1844 has Mr. Lovell as a mer- chant in leather, etc., Clark street, near Lake, and says, "boards at the Chicago Temperance hotel." His name is not in the directory after that year.
He does not appear in the minutes of the Society after the date of the certificate of the legal organization, and after signing the constitution, which Mr. Scammon, Mrs. Scammon, and he signed Sept. 7, 1843, being the date also of the certificate. Therefore, remembering that Mr. Scammon's letter gives him as residing in Elgin, June, 1839, and that he was boarding at the Chicago Temper- ance hotel, 1844, it is reasonable to conclude that, though a merchant in Chicago, his home was in Elgin. We have nothing which shows that he was not a resident of the city when Mr. Scammon interested him in the Church.
In the historical pamphlet on the Illinois Association and Chicago Society, written by Dr. Alvan E. Small, in 1880, Mr. Lovell is spoken of as a young merchant.
Mr. Thomas L. Forrest, the first secretary of the Society, and his brother, Joseph K. C. Forrest, the early leader, have handed down memory of him, to the effect that he and his brother, John, and two sisters, resided on a farm, near Elgin, 1840-41. They formed a very
48
49
THE NEW CHURCH AND CHICAGO
interesting family; it being in this home that the Messrs. Forrest first saw the writings of the Church, their farm - home being near.
Mr. Vincent S. Lovell died Sept. 9, 1852, his brother and sisters some years after, but all comparatively young.
Vincent S. Lovell, Jr., born in 1845 and who died in 1892, attained considerable prominence as a journalist, having been connected with the Albany Argus and Post and Mail of New York. He was at one time mayor of Elgin and very much liked, leaving many friends to mourn his short life. Another son, Hon. Edward C. Lovell, was judge and member of the legislature, and also very highly respected.
Rev. J. R. Hibbard, being on a missionary tour, happened in Elgin the day following Mr. Lovell's death. On going to the home and offering his services, as a min- ister in the faith which the deceased believed, his service was very firmly declined by Mrs. Lovell. He says, "The funeral service was performed by three or four ministers of the old church, who took different parts, pay- ing high encomiums to the character of the deceased, as an example of Christian virtue and gentleness, but claimed it all to be owing to his having believed in the faith of the vicarious atonement."-[See "Reminiscences of a Pioneer," by J. R. H.]
THE CONSTITUTION AND SIGNERS.
Under the same date as that of the legal organization there is a record of the adoption of a "platform" as fol- lows, which, it will be seen, is signed by Mr. and Mrs. Scammon and Mr. Lovell. Thereafter one of the require- ments of those becoming members of the Society was that they sign the same declaration of principles, and so we have the long roll of members which is made up from their signatures, showing the year of signing and of joining the Society, until the requirement of signing in one book was discontinued in 1894.
THE CHICAGO SOCIETY OF THE NEW JERUSALEM.
We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, have formed ourselves into a religious society under the name of The Chicago Society of the New Jerusalem,* and have adopted as the platform of our union, the three essentials of the Church as contained in No. 259 of Emanuel Swedenborg's treatise on the Divine Providence as fol- lows:
There are three essentials of the Church, "The acknowledgment of the Divine of the Lord."
"The acknowledgment of the Sanctity of the word," and,
"The life which is called Charity."
"According to the life which is charity every man has faith; from the word is the knowledge of what life must be; and from the Lord is reformation and salvation."
J. YOUNG SCAMMON, Sept. 7, 1843. MARY A. H. SCAMMON, Sept. 7, 1843. VINCENT S. LOVELL, Sept. 7, 1843.
*NOTE .- There are in this city a few persons who receive the doctrine taught in the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg. They are few in number, but have a legal society, to which a church lot has been donated by the Canal commissioners. They meet for
