1805 Jany 4. At a meeting of the Church, duly notified, for the purpose of electing a DEACON, to supply the vacancy, occafioned by the death of Deacon MUNRO; after prayer by the Pastor for divine direction, the brethren proceeded to bring in their written votes and it appeared, that of ten votes, nine were for brother JOSIAH MOORE, and he was accordingly declared to be chosen.


William Dewey, a member of the church, being guilty of the sin of fornication previously to his late marriage and having been repeatedly conversed with by the Pastor and admonished, having also uniformly exprefsed peni- tence for the offence, was at length encouraged to offer a Confesion to the Church. At the aforesaid meeting of the Church the following Confefsion was accordingly presented; and voted to be satisfactory :


"I desire with shame and deep humiliation to confefs "before God, that I have not guarded as I ought against "indulgence to youthful lusts; but have violated the "laws of Chriftian purity and thus have given just caufe "of offence to the Church of which I am a member, as "well as exposed myself to the displeafure of a holy "God. Truly sensible, as I trust of my folly and sin, "I humbly ask forgivnefs of my Maker and intreat you "to restore me to your charity and fellowship, and ask "your prayers for me, that I may be preserved from "sin in future, and enabled by God's grace to adorn the "doctrine of my saviour,

At a meeting of the Church it was voted.


That the pastor of the church with brothers, C. Gannett. & J. Winthrop be a committee, to consider the expediency of procuring religious books for the ufe of the members of the church; and whether it be advis- able to apply for that purpose the surplusage of the con- tribution money, collected at the communion; and make report to the church.


July 5.


The Committee, appointed by the vote of the church, last recorded, made the following report to the Church, at a regular meeting.


The Committee, appointed to consider the exped- inecy of procuring religious books for the ufe of the mem- bers of the church; and whether it be advifable to apply for that purpose the surplusage of the contribu- tion money, collected at the communion, beg leave to report.


"That, on examination, they find, that, by a vote of "the Church 27 May 1773, the surplusage of the money, "raised by contribution at the communion, is incorporated "with the funds of the church; and therefore they judge "it not advisable to apply it to the object proposed.


"The Committee, notwithstanding, recommend, that "a contribution be made by the Church, for purchas- "ing religious books for the use of members, under such "regulations, as the Church shall see fit to establish.


"The Committee also recommend, that the Report "of the Committee of the Church, made 18 June 1773,* "designating the most proper way of improving the "church funds, be read annually, previous to the appoint- "ment of a committee to inquire into the state of the "church funds."
