With reverence we visit the old English Canterbury or Scottish Iona, the Roman Janiculum or Capitoline Mount, sites where the Christianity of nations was-by a chosen few - founded in sorrow, and yet in hope, to grow and spread through great communities that gathered around them.
And this historical and time-honored Town Hill is truly a Canter- bury, an Iona, not alone of the "Church of God in Charlestown," but of the broader church of the great American Republic; and both of church and of civil institutions, and of varied history and of noble virtues and labors, we well may esteem it and name it
AN AMERICAN SHRINE.

RECORDS OF THE FIRST CHURCH.
RECORDS OF THE FIRST CHURCH.
THESE, kept by the ministers who were not only the best educated men in the town, but who were also thoroughly acquainted with every- body, supply a great amount of reliable matter about the townspeople, and are of special value. As only portions had been printed, the writer thought that the whole of the earlier record should be repro- duced in type, and, as already stated, a large amount appeared in the New England Historic-Genealogical Register (1869-79). This, with a good deal more, including all extant from 1632 to 1789, he issued in a quarto volume, copies of which he has placed in libraries. On the following pages, Admissions to the Church, Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths, from 1789 to 1832, are printed for the first time. The book containing them had a narrow escape before it came into his hands, and the value of its contents, saved here in type from possible future loss, becomes more evident when it is remembered that this is for much of the time named the only extant churchi record of the town, and also since it is said that the corresponding records of the town for much of the time are either imperfect or are only compilations (with mistakes). Dr. Morse, who kept until 1820 what is here given, was, furthermore, both the most prominent author and the most competent man in the place. Nothing more, however, than mention needs to be made in re- gard to the relative and actual importance of records of original entry.
With his own hand the writer has copied two full centuries of the ministers' records, and having seen them printed and put in accessible form, he feels that he has done his share. It is proper to add that he has read the proofs of the whole from the original manuscripts.
