The portraits of former pastors were photographed for use in this volume by Mr. and Mrs. John W. Winder. The photograph of Dr. Hovey. (page 6). was from the studio of W. C. Thompson. The frontispiece, representing the present meeting-house. is from a drawing by Miss S. M. Morse. Excellent

HOMES OF THE PASTORS.
" Old homesteads, sacred to all that can Gladden or sadden the heart of man- Over whose thresholds of oak or stone Life and Death have come and gone."
We are indebted to the excellent memories of Mrs. Eliza A. Little, now ninety-three years of age, Miss Elizabeth Gerrish, in her ninetieth year, Mrs. Lydia C. Tucker, Mrs. Sarah L. Hutchins, Miss Alice Plumer, and others, for interesting reminis- cences concerning the homes of the early pastors. It may be added that Mrs. Tucker is the daughter of Dr. Dana, Miss Gerrish has been a teacher in the Old South Sunday school for sixty-three years in succession, and Mrs. Hutchins lives opposite the old Parsons residence. These ladies are active in keep- ing alive the female prayer meeting that has been maintained for one hundred and fifty years. Shortly after the present pastor began his labors here, a list was made of all men and women in the congregation who had lived for seventy years or longer, and we

found fifty such persons. It is a pleasant thing to hear these devoted and elderly people talk over the social and domestic incidents of former days.
The dwellings of the ministers all remain to this day, though some of them have undergone changes. The visitor after examining the meeting house and its relics, passes along on School street, by the house where the famous liberator, William Lloyd Garrison, was born, and then by a large old-fashioned garden. now neglected and overgrown with shrubbery, but which must have once been beautiful, and then he comes to a double house, numbered ; and o, and oc- cupied at present by families named Ladd and Swett. And that was. more than a century ago, the home of the Rev. Jonathan Parsons. The west corner room, in the second story. is where George Whitefield died, and it is said to remain very much as it was then. The manse was the gift of the parish to Mr. Parsons. together with the garden, and remained for some time in the possession of his family after his decease.
In 1781 the parish voted £100o to build a parson- age for Rev. John Murray, and in 1783 they voted for the same purpose $450 more, and in 1788 still another appropriation of $335. making a total of £1805, which enabled them to erect the substantial building at 74 Federal street, now owned and occu-

pied by Mr. Frank McGrath. The work was all done by hand, and the nails were imported, and the best of material was used throughout. The hall. staircase and parlor remain unchanged, and give a good idea of the old colonial style.
The parsonage, after the Murray place was sold, was the spacious mansion known as the Captain Henry Cook house, and at present occupied by Mr. G. H. Pearson. It is 62 Federal street; and as we admire its ample grounds and other attractions, we wonder that it was not always retained as a parson- age. It was the home of Dr. Dana while he was pastor of our church, though, on his subsequent return to this city, he lived elsewhere. When Mr. Williams succeeded him. as one of the many proofs he gave of a singular degree of independence, he refused to oc- cupy it as a parsonage, and accordingly purchased it for himself; and thus the property passed out of the hands of the parish.
When Dr. Proudfit came, he rented the residence, number 6 Orange street, long known as the Harrod house, and now occupied by Mr. William Holker: and he afterwards occupied the Dalton mansion on State street. Dr. Stearns likewise occupied rented property; first living at 10 Fruit street, the present

home of Miss Mary C. Burnham, and afterwards at o Fruit street, where Dr. John F. Young now resides.
Dr. Vermilye lived for a while on Water street, near Ship street. But the people were weary of having their pastors live in " hired houses," and the credit mainly belongs to Miss Mary C. Greenleaf, for starting the movement to buy the handsome property at 98 High street. now owned by Mrs. Charles H. Coffin, but that was for many years the Old South parsonage, and as such was occupied successively by Drs. Vermilye and Richardson and Rev. Mr. Durfee. The first sum subscribed for it was by the Hon. Caleb Cushing, who also drew the papers so as to make the investment permanent. With the same end in view the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Association was formed. first to pay the balance for the parsonage and then to keep it in repair. After about twenty years it was deemed advisable to sell this property, and the pur- chase money was put in the bank, pending the result of certain necessary inquiries concerning rights and titles conducted by Mr. John W. Winder, at the re- quest of the Association. Meanwhile the Rev. Mr. Newell lived in the commodious dwelling, 64 Lime street. belonging then, as now, to the Simpson family.
When Dr. Wallace was settled here, in 1881. the present parsonage, 60 High street, on the corner of
212
HISTORICAL AFTERMATH
Lime street was bought; and it was at a later day the home also of his successors, Rev. Mr. Sinclair and Dr. Hovey. It was originally built by Mrs. Henry Titcomb, and by inheritance went to her daughter, Mrs. Valeria K. Denny, from whom it was bought for the Old South parish. When the present pastor took up his residence here, in May, 1893. the building was put in thorough repair, painted, papered and other- wise improved, thus making it a very desirable home.
The history of these various homes of the pastors would fill a volume by itself; the births, and deaths, and marriages; the social gatherings, and session meetings; the discussions of theological problems, and of church affairs, and the wrestling in prayer for wisdom in their solution; the individual calls for pas- toral sympathy and counsel; the countless visitors who have crossed the threshold, friend and stranger, rich and poor, young and aged, saint and sinner- these details of the minister's home life form a large part of his history, but they can never be fully known except to Him who knows all hearts, and records faithfully all human events; and who gives to His children, in such consecrated dwellings, bright with the sunshine of His favor, and rich in the best and purest human affections, an earthly type of their Everlasting Home.

By request, the pastor gave, on Sundays following the Anniversary, specimens of the style of the early ministers. The first selected was the funeral sermon by Rev. Jonathan Parsons over the remains of Rev. George Whitefield: which was delivered by Dr. Hovey from the original manuscript. kindly loaned for the occasion by Captain Moses J. Mulliken, a descendant of Mr. Parsons. The selection from the discourses of Rev. John Murray was one introducing his famous analogy between " Ships and Souls." origi- nally given a century ago before the Newburyport Marine Society, whose successors attended in a body: having previously decorated the pulpit with models and paintings of vessels built in Newburyport, and with other emblems and relics of the sea.
Our last word, as a fitting close for this volume that deals with the individual, the family, the school. the parish. the church, the city, the state, the nation, and " the Kingdom of Heaven," shall be that loving motto inscribed over the central door, and which greeted the guests as they retired from the sanctuary. while the organ played the grand " March de Pro- cession"-
"Blest be the tie that binds."
