HISTORY OF WINTHROP CHURCH


FOR FIFTY YEARS.


(CHARLESTOWN) BOSTON, MASS.


PREACHED BY THE PASTOR, REV. ALEXANDER S. TWOMBLY,


JANUARY 7, 1883.


SERMON.


" Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it." - PSALMS xc. 16, 17.


THE history of a true church of Christ for fifty years is more than a mere record of events. A chosen band of dis- ciples not only follows the natural order of development, but God's hand may be traced in the movements and changes that occur. The work is therefore his, and the glory of it belongs to him.


We celebrate, in this fiftieth anniversary of the Winthrop Church, not the achievements of men, but the good provi- dence and grace of God; to him be all the praise ! But in such a history the sovereignty of grace appears in the acts to which God has moved his people and in the circum- stances by which he has surrounded them. His divine guidance is seen in his special dealings with the individuals that have composed the membership.


Along the course of external conditions runs the line of personal experiences, consecrated efforts, individual sacrifices, and persevering affections.


If then, some names of the originators and promoters of this Christian enterprise receive special mention, it is because they have embodied the faith and love entering into the work as a whole; while all on the list of membership, who have proved themselves worthy, are to be considered as represented by their leaders. They all blend into a single, organic life, in which the individuality of the church appears.


The might of the Divine Presence, which has entered into its elements of being, and the life of the Divine Son, in


·

whose name it has toiled, do not prevent but serve to intensify this individuality. Consequently, we can trace particular relations of this society to the community in which it has been placed.


Then there is its unwritten history. We cannot ignore the fact that the men and women who have formed its membership year by year, have had inward experiences which cannot be told; struggles with the world and sin ; wrestlings with God in prayer; conflicts, resulting in the strange peace of the gospel, and victories won for the cross of Christ.


The dramatic element is not wanting to the picture, -the history of families connected with this society; pathetic scenes ; rejoicings over sons and daughters born to God, and sorrowings over wanderers from the fold; praises and Jamentations at the graves of beloved pastors and friends ; sudden illuminations of hope, and hopeless exclamations of despair, - all these things must be passed over in silence, although they form a part of God's dealings with his people.


The story will necessarily be partial. Its details are left for individuals to fill out each for himself, and yet enough may be set forth in order, to reveal the good hand of our God upon us from the first until now.


His hand was good to us at the very beginning. One peculiarity of a true church of Christ is that it may be as mature on the day of its formation in all essential elements of spiritual life, as it ever will be. It never need grow old. It may cease to exist as a separate organization, but it need not pass spiritually through periods of youth, manhood, and old age. It may be like the constant cloud on a mountain top, -formed of unseen mists attracted to it and passing rapidly over the summit, yet ever the same fleecy object at sunset as at dawn.
