J. L. Phillip went from this town to Williamstown and became a professor in the college, but was subsequently obliged to resign, on account of failing eyesight.


The Church of Christ, Congregational, located near the center of the town, on road 38, was organized in 1772, with ten members, Rev. David Avery being the first pastor. The first house of worship was erected soon after Mr. Avery's installation, but was destroyed by fire before fully completed. Another house was then built, a modest wooden affair that did service from 1790 until 1823, when a brick building was erected. The present building, which will accommodate 300 persons, and is valued, including grounds, at $3,000.00 was erected in 1847. The most prosperous period in the history of this society was the forty years' pastorate of Rev. Gordan Dorrance, who was installed, after preaching one year, July 1, 1794, and dismissed in July, 1834. He admitted to membership 275 persons during his ministry. The organization of the Congregational church in West Cummington, Hampshire county, in 1840, took a great many of the members of this church, residing in the eastern part of the town. The society now has thirty-five members, with Rev. Abijah Stowell, pastor.

" He that hath much to do, will do something wrong, and of tha. wrong must suffer the conse- quences ; and if it were possible that he should always act rightly, yet when such numbers are to judge of his conduct, the bad will censure and obstruct him by malevolence, and the good sometimes by mistake."-SAMUEL JOHNSON.
