"And now let me offer to you all, my friends, who have shown me so many proofs of your favor, friendship, and kindness, in these my years of old age, my hearty congratu- lations on entering this pleasant vestry and church home. Are we not here to congratulate one another : and, standing here, as with one heart and one mind, to resolve to use it, for high, good, and honorable purposes. Let the liberty we justly claim, ever go hand in hand with a dignity and self-respect, worthy of the high truths and aims which we hold and strive for. I beg you never to let its use degener- ate into aught that is unworthy of our church aims, enfeebling to ourselves; weakening our own standard of excellence, or of doubtful example to the children, the 'little ones ' committed to our care and trust.
"One of the wisest and most devoted of our Unitarian women has said, in regard to this very subject of the increased facilities for social gathering in connection with our churches, that ' the social element is a great ally and support to reli- gion when it is not made a substitute for it.'
" This is certainly an error to be avoided, being obviously one of the dangers of the situation. I trust and pray that it may be successfully avoided here. I would hope that some common entertainments and sports, for which, hitherto, our homes and houses have been sufficient, and where they are altogether appropriate may not be introduced here. Let us wisely draw the line at the uses for which a church building may, with the general assent, and with the approval of our deepest convictions, be devoted."

APPENDIX.
Leicester Public Library. Mr. May was the chairman of the Leicester Public Library, from its foundation, in 1861, to 1895, when the present Public Library building was erected. During this period of thirty-four years he was ever active in advancing its interests as an educational force in the town.
With a small annual appropriation of from one hundred to three hundred dollars, it grew from 1,200 volumes, in 1861, to about 8,000 in 1895.
He did much of the work of a librarian in planning and preparing the catalogues without expense to the town, and by securing donations of desirable books, including the government publications from Washington.
His service was of a character so varied, valuable, and self-sacrificing that he may be justly said to be the father of the Leicester Public Library.
Miss Mary A. Emerson. The young lady to whom this tender reference is made by Mr. May was sister-in-law of Dr. Edward Flint. The considerable space occupied in the Records by the details of this occurrence, in 1835, and alluded to in a reminiscent address upwards of sixty years after, clothe it with a vivid, and pathetic, interest, emphasizing in a remarkable way, not only the delicacy, patience, dignity, and unswerving resoluteness of Miss Emerson, who died in her lovely young womanhood, three years later, at the age of twenty-six years; but the friendly and Christian attitude

SECOND CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
which the First and Second Congregational Churches have long sustained toward one another as well; worshipping hospitably under the same roof, not only under dire stress of circumstances, but as matter of personal choice and pleasure; the First Church cordially welcoming to her services all members of God's Church upon the earth, by whatsoever name they may be designated. The case to which Mr. May alludes, covers fifteen pages of the Minister's Book, embody- ing Miss Emerson's letter to the Rev. Samuel May in which she requests to be made a member of his congregation ; the voluminous correspondence between the Rev. Mr. Nelson and Miss Emerson, relative to her dismissal ; the resolutions passed by the First Church to the effect that to dismiss Miss Emerson to the Second Church would imply an act of fellow- ship with this Church, which had withdrawn from the First Church and its place of worship, because of a different faith, a fellowship to which the latter could not consent ; and the report of the committee consisting of Messrs. Waldo Flint, Deacon Dwight Bisco and George Whiting, to whom the case was referred by the Second Church and Society, who candidly expressed their complete sanction of Miss Emerson's application for membership and fellowship with them, and their heartfelt welcome in behalf of all the members of the Second Congregational Church and Society.
Certain Furnishings. In common with every church which endears its people by community of interest, the little stories which attach to various belongings of this Church are replete with personal enthusiam. The beautiful Chippendale chairs were the gift of Mr. Joshua Clapp. The central chandelier attests to the earnest efforts of Mrs. Henry Bisco.

The completion of the parish house demanded fresh energy upon the part of the ladies to provide its furniture.
A kitchen range and boiler were presented by Mr. and Mrs. Dexter Knight, while Mrs. Henry L. Watson, Mrs. F. E. Trask and Mrs. William F. Whittemore contributed freely to the various needs pertaining to this important realm of industry.
Four dozen each of plates, cups, saucers, and teaspoons were purchased with the proceeds of a barn dance given by the Misses Hatch, and presented to the Ladies' Society ; this Society, in turn, contributing as many more similar pieces of table ware with the addition of knives, forks, plat- ters, and a variety of articles akin.
A piano was installed by Mrs. Eliza Whittemore Smith, a clock donated by the Misses Hatch, a mahogany table and mirror by Miss N. Olive Knight, and certain chairs by Mrs. G. D. Hatch.
Among those who contributed freely to provide the manifold necessities called forth by the new house, were Miss Adeline May, Miss Elizabeth Goddard May, Mrs. Warren Smith, Mrs. Harry E. Sargent, Mrs. Daniel Kent, Miss Mary E. Joslyn and Mrs. Mary B. Marchant, with others certainly whose names do not now appear.
In a work on local history, intimate and personal as local history is wont to be, it is highly desirable that additional details of personal recollection be interleaved in their books by the owners.
Dr. Edward Flint, a picture of whom appears in the body of this book, died at his residence, in Leicester, Mass., on May 30, 1880, at the ripe age of ninety and one-half years.

SECOND CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
For more than half a century he was in constant practice of his profession, in Leicester and neighboring towns, and held in an eminent degree the respect and confidence of his medical brethren in Worcester County.
He belonged to a prominent family of physicians. His grandfather was Dr. Edward Flint, of Shrewsbury, Mass., and his father, Dr. Austin Flint, of Leicester, who served in the army of the American Revolution both as soldier and surgeon, and lies in an honored grave in Leicester.
His brother, Dr. Joseph H. Flint, practiced in Shrewsbury, Mass., and his uncle, Dr. John Flint, in Petersham, Mass.
The well known physicians, Drs. Austin Flint, father and son, of New York, are nephew and grand-nephew of Dr. Edward Flint; and Dr. John Flint, of Boston, was his cousin.
Dr. Austin Flint, of Leicester, married a daughter of Col. William Henshaw, also of Leicester, and reared a family widely known for intelligence and worth. Besides their son, Dr. Edward Flint, the subject of this brief notice, were Dr. Joseph H. Flint, latterly of Springfield, Mass., and Hon. Waldo Flint, of Leicester and Boston.
Dr. Edward Flint married in 1817, Miss Harriet, daughter of Elihu Emerson, of Norwich, Vt. Their two daughters died in early womanhood. Their only son was the late Dr. John Sydenham Flint, of Roxbury district, Boston, Mass., who died in 1887 unmarried. Mrs. Harriet Emerson Flint lingered for four years after the death of her son and died in May, 1891, at the age of ninety-two years. Her funeral ser- vices, from the Unitarian church she so dearly loved, were conducted by the Rev. Samuel May in connection with the settled minister.

The father of Mrs. Flint, Mr. Elihu Emerson, attained the unusual age of 102 years and three months, dying in Leicester at the home of his son-in-law, Dr. Edward Flint, October 31, 1873.
Mr. Emerson gave his vote to make General Washington President of the United States for his second term of office, and voted for General Grant as President on his first election.
Music. But a limited number of the names of those who have assisted with the music at the Second Congregational Church in Leicester, are available. In addition to organists named may be mentioned Mrs. John Bisco, Mr. Albert Baker, Mr. Thomas S. Livermore and Mrs. John H. Wheelock.
Among those whose voices will be remembered are Mrs. Thomas S. Livermore, Mrs. F. E. Trask, Mr. George E. Marsh who sang in the choir for upwards of a quarter of a century to the satisfaction of all, Mrs. Warren Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Nichols, Mrs. G. D. Hatch, Mr. Dwight McFarland, Mrs. Parkman T. Denny, Miss Susan Knight, Mrs. Kate C. Whittemore, Miss Anna Marsh, Miss Olds, Harry Grout and Joseph Perry.
