fifty dollars. February 16, 1827. Chose a committee of eleven to nominate three as building committee, and six as advising. Abel Kingman, Lieutenant Isaac Packard, and Benjamin Kingman were ap- pointed as the building committee, and the two first named resigning, B. Kingman was chosen as agent to build the house, and Bela Keith, esq., Asa Jones, Daniel H. Cary, Col. Isaac Littlefield, Lieutenant Ephraim Cole, and John Tilden, jr., were chosen as advising com- mittee. A committee of five was appointed to locate the house, con sisting of the following persons: Silas Packard, Jesse Perkins, esq., Col. Edward Southworth, Col. Cyrus Porter, Abel Kingman, esq., who reported in favor of setting the house its width south, and half its length west. Report accepted March 16, 1827.
The old house was taken down in April of this year. On the first day of the week in which this was to be done, and the ground cleared for another house, a sermon was delivered by Rev. D. Huntington, the pastor of the church, from Zachariah xii. 6: " And Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem." And as many of the society could not go abroad to worship while the new house was in process of building, it was thought best to provide temporary accom- modations. For this purpose an addition was made to the sheds at the southwest corner of the green, in which seats were provided for the congregation, and to which the pulpit of the old house was removed. And the author has often been told that in that humble place there were many precious hours spent, and some of the most interesting seasons of religious exercise enjoyed there that ever they experienced. The new house of worship was completed in November, so that the sheds were occupied by them during the interval of time between those dates. The house was dedicated November 27, 1827, with highly appro- priate and interesting exercises.
November 15, 1827. At a meeting of the parish the following persons were chosen a committee of arrangements for the dedication of the new house, namely, Benjamin Kingman, Capt. David Ames, Col. Nathan Jones, Col. Isaac Littlefield, Lieut. Ephraim Cole; also Silas Packard and Benjamin Kingman were appointed and authorized to con- vey the pews to those that purchased. Voted that the sale of pews take place Wednesday, November 27, to commence at nine o'clock A. M.

November 28, 1827. Voted that the three easterly pews in the north side of the gallery be reserved for young women. And again the sub- ject of seating the colored people comes up, and it was " Voted that the South west and North west pews be reserved for the people of Colour." January 14, 1828. At a meeting held this day, "To see if the parish will vote to procure a timepiece," it was " voted to defer the subject of getting a timepiece to a future meeting." January 28th, the same subject was brought before the parish for action, when it was "voted not to do anything respecting getting a timepiece."
The report of the agent in building the new house was as follows, January 14, 1828.
"The total cost of the new house, including the furniture, as furnished at the expense of the parish, was seven thousand five hundred and nine dollars and seventeen cents. The old house sold for four hundred and three dollars and thirty-seven cents, which, deducted from the cost of the new building, leaves the net cost seven thousand and ninety- five dollars and eighty cents."
71
THE THIRD MEETING HOUSE.
Also at the same time " voted that the Parish committee be instructed to build Horse sheds for those that want them at cost. Benjamin King- man chosen as agent to build them." March 24, 1828. Jesse Perkins, Col. Edward Southworth, and Benjamin Kingman were appointed to view the ground in front of the meeting-house with reference to erecting a fence, who reported in favor of erecting one, " to extend 40 feet front of the house of a circular form, of 20 Stone Posts, and Iron rods or chains." January 24, 1832, a new bell was procured. Thomas Gur- ney and Abel Kingman, esq., were the purchasing committee. The bell was manufactured by George Holbrook, of Medway, Mass. Also, in April of the same year, a clock was procured by subscription, which was made by George Holbrook above named, costing three hundred dollars, placed upon the church April 11, 1832. The proprietors of the clock offered it to the parish upon their paying what outstanding accounts were unpaid, which offer was accepted, and $62.88 paid for the same. Monday, January 21, 1833. The subject of warming the house was brought before the society again, "To see if the Parish will procure a stove or any other apparatus for warming their meeting house." A committee of five was chosen "to get information respecting the best mode of warming their Meeting House, and to what course is pursued in other Societies, and report at the next March meeting." Turner Torrey, Lysander Howard, Darius Littlefield, Eliphalet Kingman and Ephraim Cole committee for the above. After report of committee, December 30, 1833, " Voted that they would not consent to have a stove in our meeting house providing it was done free of expense to the Parish." Monday, August 10, 1835. Chose a building committee of five persons to build parsonage-house,- Edward Southworth, Abel Kingman, Benjamin Kingman, Bela Keith, and Rositer Jones, commit- tee. At last the parish concluded to warm the house, which appears by a vote passed November 28, 1835. Heman Packard, Col. E. South- worth, and Ephraim Cole were chosen a committee to provide stoves for the meeting-house,-truly a most remarkable innovation when com- pared with the former custom of sitting during long sermons shivering and shaking, as though it were wicked to be made comfortable. Judging by the records this people, like most other societies, were occasionally troubled with naughty boys, as April 13, 1844, " Voted
72

to choose a number of persons to take care of the boys in the gallery." March 8, 1852. An article was inserted in the warrant, calling a meet- ing of the parish, " To see if the Parish will make a general repair and revision of their meeting-house, and take measures that may be proper to settle with the pew holders." "Voted unanimously to make a gen- eral repair and revision of their meeting-house." " Also made choice of Benjamin Kingman, Oakes S. Soule, and Marcus Packard a commit- tee to procure plans for reseating and repairing the meeting-house, and report at a future meeting." March 22, 1852. The committee ap- pointed to get a plan for reseating and repairing "reported in favor of building a new house, and recommended that the Parish thoroughly review the whole subject deliberately." This report was accepted, and the same committee was appointed to "investigate and get such information in relation to the whole matter of building and re- pairing their house as they may think best calculated to enable the parish to judge correctly as to what is best to be done, to examine modern built houses at their discretion."
The same day " voted to reconsider the vote to repair and reseat the Meeting- House."
FOURTH MEETING- HOUSE .- The above-named persons were chosen as building committee. April 26, 1852, Benjamin Kingman, Ozen Gurney, and Marcus Packard were appointed to settle with pew-holders, sell the old house, and provide another place of worship. December 27, 1852, " Voted to instruct the building committee to proceed in building a house when the sum of Eight Thousand Dollars is sub- scribed." March 17, 1853, made choice of three persons to appraise the old pews, namely, John W. Loud, of Weymouth ; Joseph Lewis, of Duxbury ; Nathan Randall, of Duxbury, were chosen.
The ladies of the First Congregational Church and society held a levee for social intercourse and fellowship at the Satucket Hall, February 15, 1853. The object of the meeting was to increase the fund for fur- nishing the new meeting-house which was then talked of building. The meeting was largely attended, the weather mild, the traveling good, with a bright moon. The meeting made choice of William P. Howard as president. The North Bridgewater Brass Band was present, and made the first impression ; then prayer was offered by Rev. Paul Couch ; then

a musical treat by Isaac T. Packard; remarks appropriate to the occasion by Rev. Paul Couch ; amusements ; refreshments for five hun- dred persons ; and a little later in the evening the following song was sung by Isaac T. Packard, the organist of the church :
THE OLD VILLAGE CHURCH.
A song for the church, the old village church, Which has stood full many a year. We'll sing to its praise in the loftiest lays ; For we love its portals dear.
The storms they have beat on that sacred retreat, While its inmates have bowed in prayer ; The lightnings have flashed and the deep thunder crashed With the notes of the chanting choir. ·
Memory now can look back through time's beaten track And remember the joyful day When its frame was reared, while the workmen cheered, -- To them it was sport and play.
They saw the tower rise, pointing up to the skies, While within the deep-toned bell Gave forth the glad sound to the people around That the building was finished well.
Then a song for the church, the old village church, Which has stood full many a year. We'll sing to its praise in the loftiest lays, For we love its portals dear.
But old Father Time, he thinks it no crime To crumble the stateliest towers; In silence he's spaced, and the beauty defaced That was once in this temple of ours.
And progression appears in these later years To make it our duty clear
That we must in our might, while contending for right, A fine new structure rear.
Then a song for the church, for the new village church Which we hope we then shall see, In which we may raise glad notes of praise To thee, Great One in Three.
10
74
HISTORY OF BROCKTON.
The work has begun, and the ladies have done, And are doing from day to day, An honorable part to encourage each heart To labor without delay.
They have invited us here, and with right good cheer We respond to their festive call;
And we'll do nothing worse than to fill their purse, To discount in the fall,
In decking the church, the new village church Which we hope we then shall see, In which we may raise glad notes of praise To thee, Great One in Three.
The frame of the new house was raised August 25, 1853, in the afternoon, when the following ceremony took place : I, hymn, sung by the children ; 2, prayer, by Rev. Charles L. Mills, of the Porter Church ; 3, prayer, by Rev. A. B. Wheeler, of the Second Methodist Episcopal Church ; 4, hymn, written by Isaac T. Packard, the organist of the church :
Praise to thy name, Eternal King, In grateful numbers here we bring ; Oh, now behold us from above, And smile upon us in thy love.
Here on this hallowed ground we meet, And now thy blessing we entreat; Oh, may these walls in order rise, Through help that cometh from the skies.
Oh, build this house, this house of prayer! Make it the object of thy care;
Here with thy people ever dwell;
Here may thy saints thy glories tell.
And from this earthly house below
May multitudes redeemed go
To that prepared by thee above,
There join to sing redeeming love.
The old meeting-house was sold to Messrs. Winthrop S. Baker and Rufus P. Kingman for $1226.60, who took a lease of the land upon which the building stood, a few feet south of where the present building now stands, for the term of fifty years from March 21, 1854, at the rate of one hundred dollars per year. The building was remodeled and used as a hall for public meetings until destroyed by fire November 7, 1860.
DEDICATION .- The present new and splendid edifice was opened to the public at two o'clock on Thursday, July 27, 1854. There were several hundred persons present, and the exercises were in the following order: I, voluntary on the organ; 2, chant,-"Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts ; " 3, invocation and reading of the Scriptures; 4, anthem, -" Let all the nations fear ; " 5, prayer ; 6, hymn :-
75
THE FOURTH MEETING HOUSE.
To thee this temple we devote, Our Father and our God;
Accept it thine, and seal it now, Thy Spirit's blest abode.
Here may the prayer of faith ascend, The voice of praise arise ; Oh, may each lowly service prove Accepted sacrifice.
Here may the sinner learn his guilt, And weep before the Lord ;
Here, pardoned, sing a Savior's love, And here his vows record.
Here may affliction dry the tear, And learn to trust in God,
Convinced it is a Father smites, And love that guides the rod.
Peace be within these sacred walls, Prosperity be here ; Long smile upon thy people, Lord, And evermore be near ;
7, sermon by Rev. Paul Couch, text, Isaiah ii. 2-5, showing that the house of God is to be a central and controlling power in the world's reformation ; 8, hymn, anthem,-" Peace be to this habitation ; " 9, dedicatory prayer ; 10, anthem,-" Hark! the song of jubilee ; " II, closing prayer ; 12, hymn and doxology by the congregation,-" Praise God from whom all blessings flow ; " 13, benediction.
The sermon is spoken of as having been of the highest order. Many a golden thought was presented to the people, and will be treasured by them. The singing also was of the most excellent kind, and entitled to great praise. The last hymn was sung to the tune of " Old Hundred," in which the congregation joined, and seldom has that tune been sung with such great power and in such correct time as on that occasion. The organ poured forth a flood of harmony from which no deviation could be made, and every one present seemed pleased with the arrange- ments and detail of the exercises. The day was pleasant and the attendance very large.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CHURCH .- The exterior of this edifice is pleasing to the eye in its beautiful proportions, while they present and possess unusual strength, and are so arranged that the whole appear - ance is not only satisfactory, but very graceful and imposing. The length of the building is ninety-six feet, width sixty-four feet, with a spire one hundred and eighty-five feet in height, and contains one hun- dred and sixteen pews on the floor and twenty-eight in the gallery. It is built in the Romanesque style of architecture, designed by Messrs. Towle & Foster, of Boston; was built by Samuel Vaughn, of Boston.
76
HISTORY OF BROCKTON.
The pews are all neatly carpeted, cushioned, and upholstered, both in the gallery and below .. The gallery contains a large and beautiful organ, built by W. B. D. Simmons, of Cambridge Street, Boston, which was finished May 17, 1854. On entering the building we find on the first floor a vestry of good size and large rooms carpeted and well fur- nished, for the use of the Ladies' Association connected with the society. Ascending from the main entrance on either side, stairs of very easy grade, we find ourselves in the vestibule, from which we enter the auditory or ascend to the galleries. The interior effect is exceed- ingly fine. The spacious floor, well-arranged pews all uniform and somewhat richly upholstered, the ample galleries not projecting from the sides with huge overshadowing effect, but rather relieving the height and presenting a corresponding finish, the chaste and elegant pulpit, finely-frescoed walls and ceiling are in perfect harmony with each other and their design and uses, and beautifully wrought without glar- ing effect. Upon the west side of the building, on the ceiling to the left of the pulpit, is the following inscription: "Ye shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord." To the right of the pulpit is the following: "The Lord hath chosen Zion. He hath desired it for his habitation." The outlay in erecting this house, includ- ing the organ, was about twenty-four thousand dollars. The first sale of pews took place on Monday following the dedication, at which seventy- three pews were sold for the sum of $22,282.50. The choice money paid was $1746.50. After the sale there were forty-three pews remain- ing unsold on the floor of the auditory, many of which were very desirable, and several in the galleries, all of which were carpeted and furnished as below.
The bell that belonged on the old church, when sold, was transferred to the new house above described, in June, 1854. The following legend was upon the same :
I to the church the living call, And to the graveyard summon all.
This bell, after having done may years of faithful service, gave out but a short time after it was removed ; for we find, September 5, 1855, a new bell was purchased of Messrs. Henry N. Hooper & Co., of Boston, weighing two thousand and thirty-five pounds.

T HE OLD FRENCH WAR .- By a treaty made between the English and French at Utrecht in 1713, the French had ceded the prov- inces of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to Great Britain. The French, finding need of a fortress in that region, had built Louisburg on the Island of Cape Breton, at a cost of thirty thousand livres and twenty- five years of labor.
When the war of 1744 broke out between France, Spain, and Great Britain the New England colonies soon found the French made use of this fortress as a hiding-place for the privateers that annoyed their ves- sels. A naval force was got ready for sea. Four thousand three hun- dred and sixty-six men were raised from the various colonies, properly equipped, and placed under the command of Governor Shirley, assisted by Commodore Warren, a British officer from the West Indies, who succeeded in the capture of the fortress after a siege of forty-nine days. The town and island surrendered June 17, 1745. Nothing now oc- curred of importance till the treaty made between England and France in October, 1748, at Aix-la-Chapelle. This war has been called, by way of distinction from a later one, the " Old French War," or other- wise known as "King George's War."
Owing to the irregularity and torn condition of the rolls, and no record of the names of those who took part in this expedition being on the old town records, we are unable to present their names.
78
HISTORY OF BROCKTON.
FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR .- By the treaty at Aix-la-Chapelle be- tween the French and English hostilities had ceased for a few years, although occasional depredations and incursions were made into the border towns, rendering it necessary to keep up some of the garrisons ; and in many places people were obliged to go armed to their fields to work, for fear of Indian massacre and assault. The war was renewed in 1754, although it was not formally declared until 1756.
Early in the year 1755 the colonies proceeded to attack the French at four different points-Nova Scotia, Crown Point, Niagara, and Ohio River.
In these expeditions Massachusetts bore a prominent part, and con- tributed both men and means to carry on the war. We find among the names of those that went from the North Parish of Bridgewater, now Brockton, the following list. In a return of sick in Col. Pomeroy's regiment, at Lake George, November 25, 1755, is the name of
