HISTORY
OF THE
HIGH STREET BAPTIST CHURCHI.
ORIGIN OF THE BAPTISTS IN CHARLESTOWN.
The earliest account of the Baptists in Charlestown is in 1665, when Thomas Gould, Thomas Osborne, and some others, separated themselves from the First Parish Church, as it appears, on the following grounds :- " 1. Because of Infant Bap- tism. 2. Their allowing of none but such as had human learning to be in the
ministry. 3. Their severe dealing with those of a contrary judgment from them- selves." "Hubbard says that 'Thomas Gould, and some of the rest, were men of a grave and serious spirit and sober con- versation.'"* They then embodied them-
* " Ilistory of the First Church, Charlestown."
4.
selves into a church, " covenanting to walk together in all the appointments of their Lord and Master, so far as he should be pleased to make known his mind and will unto them by his word and Spirit."
This proceeding was denounced by the civil authorities, and those engaged in it were looked upon as disturbers of the pub- lic peace. They were summoned to ap- pear before the magistrates at different times, and subjected to disfranchisement, fines, and other annoyances of the intole- rant spirit then prevailing. The General Court ordered some of them to depart from their jurisdiction, on pain of imprisonment ; but it would seem without the desired effect, as it is recorded that some of them were confined in the jail at Boston for nearly a year.
This little band embraced individuals of like views in some of the neighboring towns, and in 1668 consisted of about twenty members. For fourteen years they held their meetings in dwelling houses, at Charlestown, Boston, and other places,
5
the zealous vigilance of the authorities rendering it impossible to assemble in a public manner. Mr. Gould appears to have acted as teacher or pastor until 1675, when he died, and was succeeded in that relation by Isaac Hull, John Russell, and John Miles.
In 1678, a more tolerant spirit prevail- ing, the church erected a house of worship in Boston, and became permanently located there as the First Baptist Church.
FIRST AND SECOND BAPTIST CHURCHES.
More than a hundred years elapsed, after this removal, before another attempt was made to form a Baptist Church in Charles- town. In August, 1800, in the First Parish Church, it was moved "that the Society take into serious consideration the obvious necessity of erecting another house for public worship, and use their influence to effect the same." The motion was unan- imously adopted, and a committee appoint- ed to devise means to carry it into effect. The committee reported in favor of en- couraging the Baptist brethren in building
1*

the contemplated house. The latter, con- sidering this as a favorable opportunity, and as indicating the will of Providence, undertook the enterprise ; and, a lot of land having been offered them by Oliver Holden, it was accepted. A meeting was held at Mr. Holden's house, September 16th, 1800, comprising all the brethren in Charlestown, who then associated them- selves together for the purpose of forming a Church and building a house of worship.
In October, 1800, the Meeting-House* was commenced, and, notwithstanding the Church were somewhat disappointed in receiving expected aid, it was finished and dedicated in the following May.
Rev. THOMAS WATERMAN, the first pas- tor, was installed Oct 7th, 1802, but retain- ed the pastoral charge only eight months.
Rev. WILLIAM COLLIER, the second pas- tor, commenced his labors on the 18th of April, 1804, and was publicly installed on the 3d of May following. He retained his connection fifteen years and four months.

In 1809, Mr. Oliver Holden, who was largely interested in the pecuniary affairs of the Society, and a few other individuals, having embraced some peculiar religious views, requested and obtained dismission to form a Second Church. This move- ment was productive of much temporary trial ; and the Society, finding themselves unable to meet the demands upon the Meeting-House, relinquished it to Mr. Hol- den, he agreeing to release them from fur- ther liability.
It now became necessary to build another house of worship; and, aided by the dona- - tions of benevolent individuals, the Society were enabled to erect a convenient house, of brick, on Austin Street, which was dedicated September 23d, 1810.
Another Baptist Church was formed in the early part of 1809. Mr. Walter Balfour, formerly a preacher of the Church of Scot- land, then a Haldaneist and a Congrega- tionalist, was baptized by Mr. Collier, but did not unite with the Church. Shortly after, several individuals seceded from the
8
First Congregational Church, were bap- tized by Mr. Balfour, and, with others, formed themselves into a Baptist Church, observing the Lord's Supper every Sabbath. In 1823, Mr. Balfour embraced Universalist sentiments, and the Church was dissolved ; one of the members returning to the First Congregational Church, one or two fol- lowing Mr. Balfour, and others uniting with Baptist Churches in this place and vicinity.
Rev. HENRY JACKSON was the third pas- tor. He was ordained November 27, 1822, and retained the charge fourteen years.
In 1833, a number of individuals, who had been connected with the movement to form a second Church, returned and were received back to fellowship, and the Second Church, which seems never to have been in a very prosperous condition, ceased to exist.
Rev. WILLIAM PHILLIPS was the fourth pastor. He was installed December 2d, 1836, and retained his connection five years.
-
9
Rev. HENRY KIRK GREEN was the fifth pastor. He was installed Jan. 7th, 1842 .* In 1843, the Society had so greatly in- creased in numbers, that the Meeting- House was found too small to accommodate them. It was accordingly taken down, and a larger and more commodious one erected near its site. Thus, from the little band of twenty in 1800, had grown up the pros- perous Church, containing four hundred and fifty names upon its roll.
FORMATION OF THE HIGH STREET CHURCH.
In the winter of 1844, the question arose, which ultimately resulted in the separa- tion of the Church, and the organization of the majority of the resident members under a new name. We have no wish to rake up the embers of a past controver- sy ; but historic faithfulness requires that we should truthfully delineate the circum- stances which led to the formation of the High Street Baptist Church.
.
* For many of the foregoing facts we are indebted to the "History of the First Baptist Church," recently published. Other facts, equally interesting, would have been added, could we have had access to the records.
10
The question alluded to was that of ob- taining the assistance of an Evangelist, to aid in carrying on a protracted meet- ing, -a subject upon which the Church had, the previous year, been united, and had voted to obtain the services of Rev. Jabez S. Swan, of New London, Conn ; but his engagements were then such that he could not comply with the request, and the subject was deferred. Now, however, when the moment for that object seemed to be auspicious, it was found that a minority of the Church were opposed to the meas- ure, -as Christian charity would lead us ' to suppose, from some conscientious mo- tives, and not from opposition to a more ex- tended use of the legitimate means of grace. But the majority assumed the position, that when a measure is fairly brought before the Church, and the Divine will prayerful- ly sought for, the Church will be divinely guided ; and that it is then the duty of the minority to acquiesce in, if not to forward by their influence and cooperation, what is thus ascertained to be the will of the great Head of the Church.

11
The measure referred to was not the re- sult of a momentary impulse, but of prayer- ful consideration. It had been long talked of by the members in their Church Meet- ings ; a day of fasting and prayer was held in reference to it ; and when, finally, the question came up for the decision of the body, the aid of Heaven was invoked in solemn prayer. ,
The decision, thus arrived at, was in favor of holding a protracted meeting, and of inviting Bro. Swan to assist us in car- rying it on. He came among us in Feb- ruary ; and, by his powerful and pungent preaching, the impenitent were awakened, and began to inquire what they should do to be saved. Thus, manifestly, God set his seal of approbation upon these efforts ; and it was hoped that all opposition on the part of members would cease, when it was seen that sinners were inquiring - that souls were converted. But, instead of this, the opposition seemed to be augment- ed, and to gather force, with the onward march of victorious grace. The Society,
12
embracing many of the opposing members of the Church, and countenanced by their opposition to the progressing work, held meetings in their corporate capacity, and, finally, voted to forbid the use of the Meet- ing-House for the labors of Bro. Swan, and to alter the deeds of the pews, taking from the Church its reserved rights, includ- ing that of "calling, settling, continuing, and dismissing the minister ;" thus intro- ducing a question of vital interest. This question involved the independence of the Church, and the whole matter now assumed a new and important aspect. Shall the- Church be controlled, in the use of the means of grace, by the opinions of the world ?
A practical exemplification of the work- ing of the popular system of supporting religious worship in New England, was then before us. The Society, embracing stockholders in the house, irrespective of their religious opinions, had it in their power at any time to shut up the house, and exclude the Church from it. It was felt that such a system was vitally wrong,
13
inasmuch as it effectually placed the Church at the mercy of those who could not be ex- pected to sympathise in its great objects, and who might, at any moment, take of- fence at faithfully exhibited truth, and exclude them from their place of worship.
This state of things was seen and la- mented, inasmuch as it presented a great barrier to the full and unbiased exhibition of gospel truth. It was seen that its ten- dency was to induce a line of Church policy so tame and fluctuating as to be comparatively powerless. Fear of giving offence to wealthy but worldly proprietors, and thus injuring the temporal prospects of the Church, would be likely to take off the edge from the teachings of the sacred desk, and the Church would have a fair prospect of well meriting the rebuke, " thou hast a name to live, but art dead."
After mature consideration, it appeared to the majority, that, with respect to these matters, the Church should be placed upon a different foundation ; that they should themselves have the exclusive control of
2
14
the house in which they worshipped ; that thus full force might be given to the teach- ings of the sanctuary.
In harmony with these views, they could not consistently remain in what they con- sidered a state of bondage ; and however painful it might be to part from old, and, in a worldly point of view, prosperous as- sociations, it was thought to be an impe- rious duty to establish themselves upon a system less liable to abuses, and more in harmony with the word of God.
After the passage of the vote by the Society forbidding the use of the Meeting- House for the labors of Bro. Swan, the protracted meeting was continued in the First Methodist Meeting-House, they hav- ing kindly and promptly invited us to accept its use for that purpose.
March 30th, 1844, a Church meeting was held in the Methodist vestry, an'd ar- rangements made to hold our meetings on the Sabbath in the Town Hall.
April 5th, the Church agreed to make a proposition to the minority worshipping at
15
the Meeting-House, for a general meeting, to see if an amicable settlement of the ex- isting difficulties might not be effected. At a subsequent meeting it was reported that said proposition was not accepted by themn.
The following preamble and resolution were then adopted :
" Whereas, the minority of this Church claim to be the 'First Baptist Church in Charlestown;' and whereas we, the majority, would seek for things that make for peace and the prosperity of the common cause ; - therefore,
"Resolved, That we are willing that the Church, at a full meeting of the members, shall give permis- sion that those who shall record their names as de- sirous of continuing their connection with the Meet- ing-House, shall be styled 'The First Church ;' and also that the Church shall permit the remainder to constitute a Church which shall be designated by some other name."
It is stated on the records that "this course of action was agreed to by us from our love of peace and of the cause of re- ligion in this town, though our claim to be the Church seemed to us conclusive."
April 19th, propositions were received from the brethren at the Meeting-House,
16
to hold a mutual meeting for the purposes embraced in the above resolution. The meeting was held on the 22d, when Bro. Green resigned the pastorate of the First Baptist Church, and was chosen Moderator, and Bro. Albert J. Bellows Clerk, pro tem. Two hundred and twenty-two members* then gave in their names as desirous of being dismissed for the purpose of form- ing a new Church, and their request was granted. The mutual meeting then ad- journed, and the dismissed members held a meeting and organized the new Church by the choice of Rev. H. K. Green as Pas- tor, and Bro. Francis Childs, Clerk.
Thus was harmoniously accomplished what in all humility we cannot but think was a sacrifice upon the altar of principle ; and the majority of the resident members of the Church, relinquishing the advan- tages of influence and position as the "First
* Some, who had acted with us in all the previous movements, when the question of forming a new Church came up, preferred to retain their connection.
17
Church," entered upon all the hazards of a new and difficult enterprise.
We have passed as lightly over these circumstances as the purposes of a correct history would allow ; feeling no disposi- tion to say aught that might disturb the harmony at present existing between the sister Churches, and which we trust will ever characterize their relations.
Measures were now taken for the public recognition of the Church. A Council was called for that purpose, which met in June, and, after several sessions, finally ad- journed for six months, without accom- plishing the object.
To the Church, this proceeding appeared to be a singular one. There were no cir- cumstances of which the Council had any cognizance, to warrant the delay of even a single day. The course of the Church had been perfectly regular, and the duty of the Council appeared to be plain. Indeed, it was apparent that the delay was occa- sioned by the opposition of only a few individuals ; but, for the sake of obtaining 2*
18
unanimity, the interests of the Church were allowed to be perilled, so far as delay on the part of the Council could be productive of this, by producing a wrong impression on the minds of the community. Moreover, it appeared to the Church that the Council had greatly transcended their powers, if not mistaken the object for which they had been called, by constituting themselves a standing ecclesiastical tribunal, unrecog- nized by the scriptural simplicity of our denominational platform.
In this view of the case, at a meeting held, November 24th, 1844, resolutions were adopted, setting forth clearly the grounds of the action of the Church, and concluding by dissolving the Council that had failed to effect the object for which it was called. A copy of these resolutions was transmitted to the Chairman of the Council.
A second Council was then called, which convened in November, and very cordially and unanimously agreed to recognize the Church. The public services were held
19
in the Town Hall, on the evening of De- cember 2d, 1844, and were as follows :- Reading of the Minutes of the Council by the Clerk. Reading of the Scriptures and Prayer. Sermon by Rev. Cyrus P. Grosve- nor. Prayer of Recognition by Rev. R. C. Palmer. Hand of Fellowship by Rev. Sereno Howe. Address to the Church by Rev. E. R. Warren. Concluding Prayer by Rev. W. M. Jones.
Efforts were now made to erect a house of worship which should be exclusively under the control of the Church. The task was by no means an easy one ; but God was pleased to smile upon the enter- prise, and to be with us, delivering us out of all our trials and difficulties. Many a time, when storm and darkness were round about us, and many feared for the result, the Everlasting Arm was interposed, and sunshine succeeded the storm. These dif- ficulties were no doubt increased by a want of sympathy on the part of brethren at the time, occasioned by wrong views of our position, the motives which led to the sep-
20
aration, and a misconstruction of the action of the first Council. But there were those among us who felt that our foundation was on the firm rock of principle; those, whose energies no misconstructions could abate, no trials or disappointments subdue ; and they persevered until, at last, their efforts were crowned with success, and the Church were enabled to convene in a neat and pleasant sanctuary, " their own vine and fig-tree -with no one to molest or make them afraid."
The Church at first assumed the name of " Monument Square Baptist Church," " as it was intended to locate the Meeting- House on Monument Square. The loca- tion finally selected, however, was on High Street, and the name was accordingly changed to "High Street Baptist Church." The corner-stone was laid August 12th, 1845, and the house was completed and publicly dedicated to the worship of God, March 5th, 1846. Rev. R. H. Neale offer- ed the opening Prayer. Selections from Scripture by Rev. W. C. Child. Dedica-`
21
tory Prayer by Rev. Dr. Sharp. Sermon by the Pastor. Concluding Prayer by Rev. S. Howe.
Rev. H. K. GREEN, the first Pastor, re- signed in August, 1845. The second Pas- tor, Rev. JOHN BLAIN, of Fishkill, R. I., who commenced his labors at the time of the dedication, was installed April 15th, 1846, and resigned October 28th, 1849. Large accessions were made to the Church under the ministrations of these brethren.
In the Winter of 1849-50, sixty-four of our number were dismissed, to form the Bethesda Baptist Church of this city. Their house of worship is on Bunker Hill Street.
The third and present Pastor, Rev. HIRAM HUTCHINS, commenced his labors in Janu- ary, 1850, and thus far, under his charge, the Church has been in a united and pros- perous condition, blessed with the pres- ence of the Spirit, and we hope steadily advancing in the great objects for which it was formed.
The method of supporting public wor- ship, adopted at the time of our separation,
22
and continued till the close of 1852, was by subscription of the members and other individuals. At the commencement of the present year, 1853, by a vote of the So- ciety, the system of renting the pews was adopted, it being deemed more equal, less liable to abuses, and more in consonance with the feelings of the community. But the rates, it is believed, are considerably lower than in most other Societies in the city.
The Society connected with the Church was organized according to the provisions of the twentieth chapter of the Revised - Statutes, July 22d, 1845, under the name of "Proprietors of High Street Baptist Meeting-House." The By-Laws require that it shall consist of the male members of the Church, over twenty-one years of age, in good standing. This Corporation own the Meeting-House, including the Pews, and manage the pecuniary interests. By this arrangement, the Church is under the control of its members only.
