Nov. 19. At a Meeting of the Brethren of the Church, duly notified, for the purpose of electing a DEACON, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the death of Deacon Hill - after a prayer for the Divine direction and blefsing, the brethren proceeded to bring in their written votes, an and it appeared that Capt John Walton was unanimously* elected.
*One vote (doubtlefs his own) excepted. Of 14 votes he had 13.
After due consideration Capt Walton accepted the office to which he was chosen, and expressed his accept- ance in the following letter to the pastor of the Church :
"Revd, and Dear Sir,
I received your official letter of the 3d of Decr "last, with the doings of the Church in this place of the "19th of Nov' last, acquainting me that I was elected to "the office of a Deacon of said Church - an election as "unwished for as unexpected; an office which I have not "merited, nor had reason to expect, and which, I have "reason to fear, will not be filled by me with that pro- "priety which it requireth. But, having taken into serious "consideration those arguments used in your letter, I "find myself not entirely at my own disposal; from "whence I believe it to be my duty to accept of the Call, "and do comply with it: - begging your prayers that I

A Certificate for 6 Pr cent stock, to the amount of $140.67 conftitutes part of the foregoing capital. On which 2} pr cent principal has been paid, equal to $3.51.
The Deacons have made the Securities in general payable on the same day, viz., the first of March.
Neither Deacon Walton, for the care of the fund, nor Deacon Munro for providing for the communion, nor either of the Deacons for any of their services, make any charge. but generously gave the same to the church.
One third of the interest of the foregoing Securities and balance is to be paid by the Deacons to the Treafurer of the first Parish in Cambridge on the first day of April 1797, and will amount to $22.90 purfuant to a vote of the church pafsed 18th of June 1773.
The Committee are of opinion, and recommend, that the private Securities, now exprefsed in the late denomi- nation, should be exchanged for others in that of federal money : and that no Security to be taken without a surety or collateral Security.
The above we find to be the true state of the unappro- priated church fund in the hands of the Deacons on the 30th day of June 1796.
We then proceeded to enquire into the state of the Fund appropriated to the ufe of the Poor of said Church and found the Deacons indebted as follows, viz:
To sundry Securities for monies at interest
June 30, 1795, as pr Report. 245.39
To interest received & due to June 30, 1796 26.90
To cafh in the hands of the Deacons June 30, 1795 8.59
To balance of Thomas Soden's legacy 7.67
