"never spoil a good deacon by placing him in the pulpit." Rev. N. D. Curtis, a former deacon, appreciated this allu- sion, and spoke in a soul-stirring manner of the spur he and others had received to high attainments in piety from church connection here.
Society, it was said, had hardly given sufficient credit to the refining influence of personal religion upon man- ners, as well as morals, and Holman S. Melcher was invited, as an appropriate representative of this church and society, to testify on our relations to this subject. His testimony was gracefully delivered, and was to the point.
It was then observed that if "offences must needs come," it was deemed a fortunate circumstance, espe- cially by the occupant of the chair, that our offenders could rely on having justice meted out to them, because of our advantage in having a friend at court. This brought Judge Bonney to the front, who pertinently commended church connection as furnishing healthful restraint on personal conduct, and promotion of sound morals.
Alfred Haskell then followed, aptly responding to the inquiry whether in point of fact it could be properly claimed that this church has been a light in the city and community.
In looking beyond our immediate presence, the chair thought,
Our Zion will lack ne'er for brains nor for courage,
So long as she has for an " Advocate," Burrage.
72
FREE STREET SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
This shot brought out from his entrenchment, Rev. Dr. Burrage, who paid a handsome tribute to the influence of this church in the denomination at large, and in promoting its general work.
A prominent factor in past success was then accorded to the influence and efforts of young men. To this, Charles F. Morse responded in a felicitous and admirable manner.
This completed the review. Without being conscious of it, while looking backward, the speakers had, in fact, been making history, which, reduced to a small compass as a sort of pleasing mosaic, would appear somewhat as follows : -
A review of the history of the Free Street Church for the fifty years now past, leaves great cause for thanksgiving and congratulation.
The relations between it and the parish, unlike such sometimes observable elsewhere, have been uniformly harmonious, and both have cordially co-operated to promote the common objects for which they were established.
One of the principal sources of its strength and prosperity has been the Sunday-school, and always warmly cherished as such.
The pulsations of our church life, as indicated by the stated meetings for praise and prayer, have been healthful and constant, and their effects have been edifying and fruitful.
" The Circle," under the management of our intelligent and devoted women, has been a potent factor for good on the social side, and the benevolent spirit fostered and exemplified has been .highly creditable to them and to the church.
All pecuniary obligations, of both church and parish, have been promptly met, our poor been well provided for, and the claims of Christian enterprise and benevolence have been generously responded to.

The general type of piety in the church has been cheerful and hopeful, and in its work there has prevailed a happy combination of the conservative and aggressive spirit, preservative against fanaticism, on the one hand, but inciting efforts for extending the boundaries of Zion, on the other. A strong stimulus has also been furnished for high attainments in personal piety, and from our membership have gone forth ministers in goodly number, representatives of whom may be found in the highest spheres of usefulness known to the country.
Though a body embracing a large variety in occupation, opinion and culture, mutual intercourse has been pleasant, courteous, and refining. When, if ever, disturbing differences have occurred, these have been settled by hecding the prayer of a common Master, for a unity of which love is the golden chain binding all to Him and to each other.
Church membership has furnished a healthful restraint on external conduct, promoted sound morality and praiseworthy example; and a jealous watchfulness over the general reputation of the church has been an unfailing characteristic.
In the city and community, the church has been a steady and genial light.
In the Baptist denomination at large, it has maintained a lead- ing position, and, in all departments of Christian enterprise and philanthropy, it has exhibited general proofs of appreciation in this direction, and some instances of illustrions example.
While in all church work there have been the old and stalwart for wisdom in counsel and steadiness of purpose, our young men have been accustomed to rally in their strength, and to quit themselves like men.
Though to strangers this summary may seem like the record of a mutual admiration society, it is believed to be no more than just to those for whom it was intended, and but a suitable finale to the Semi-centennial Anniversary of the Free Street Baptist Church of Portland, whose mem- bers heartily sung the old Gospel hymn, " Blest be the tie," etc., and " then went out."
THE CHURCH EDIFICE.
The Free Street Theater was built in 1830, but accord- ing to Willis, who briefly mentions it in his History of Portland, did not prove a paying investment.
In December, 1835, it was sold to Captain Alpheus Shaw, John W. Appleton, Joseph Hay, Thomas Norton, Byron Greenough, Nathaniel Ellsworth, Henry B. Hart, and Capt. John Day, members of the First Baptist Society, "with a view to its being occupied as a meeting-house."
A Society was formed January 11, 1836, a building committee appointed, "and the treasurer was authorized to purchase the building known as the Portland Theater," for the sum of five thousand dollars. It was remodeled, and "solemnly dedicated to the worship of Almighty God," August 11 of the same year.
The frontispiece gives a correct view as it appeared after its conversion to sacred use, but so short a time elapsed between its erection and the time of remodeling that comparatively few recall it in its original form.
No picture of it is in existence so far as known, but from a careful scanning of the outside walls, and from the arrangement of the roof timbers, we can form a pretty correct idea of its architecture. It had a hip roof, the more common style in those days for large buildings. The front was quite imposing, having a recess with two large columns of the Ionic order supporting the heavy
75
FREE STREET SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
entablature which extended across the end, the cornice only, running along the sides. The old City Hall is a very good example of this style of finish. There was, probably, a heavy balustrade above the cornice to give loftiness to the front, which would otherwise look flat, there being no gable to the roof.
The theater stood back several feet from the street line, a broad flight of steps leading up to the floor of the por- tico, from which entrance was had to the vestibule by three doorways. There were also doors leading to the basement upon each side of the steps, one of which a sign is said to have designated " The way to the pit."
The outer side walls show that two rows of window openings have been closed up, six in each row, while upon the inside, where the walls can be seen for several feet, from the top down as far as the present ceiling, there is no evidence of filling in except at the three rear windows, so the others must have been simply blind windows, or panels in the outer walls. There were four chimneys, one at either corner, a few feet from the ends.
The only alterations which appear to have been made at the time of purchase were the making of a gabled roof by its extension at the ends, putting three long windows in each side in place of the smaller ones, and carrying the entablature along the sides as we now see it.
The interior of course received radical changes, and so remained until 1856. The gallery was at the front over the vestibule, from which stairways led up to it in each corner. There were a center and two side aisles, giving six rows of pews, two of them being against the side
76

walls. There were also pews upon both sides of the pul- pit; all of these had doors of the same height as the backs of the pews.
The vestry extended across the end of the basement, and was entered by doorways at either side of the steps. The floor was level in the center for a little space, then grad- ually inclined upward toward the side walls. The seats were placed upon these inclines, facing the center, so that the people coming into the evening meetings fell into the custom so aptly described by our poet : -
" But odd it was, at least it now seems so, To see the women sitting in a row; Ranged by themselves the men were forced to keep, And so exposed no drowser dared to sleep."
In 1844 the broad flight of steps gave place to a wide platform, extending from the porch front to the line of the sidewalk, with steps leading up to it at the ends, while two or three more brought one to the level of the church floor.
In 1856 the church edifice was entirely remodeled, a new front being built on, which brought it out to the side- walk. The spire was tall and very graceful in its propor- tions. In the audience-room a recess was added behind the pulpit, galleries erected along the sides, and the pews so changed as to give four aisles in place of three. The walls were rough plastered, and blocked off in imitation of stone. Only the window casings were left in their original form, and they remain so still. The pulpit was a very broad and heavy structure of mahogany, covering nearly two-thirds of the recess. Wheels underneath ran

on a track, permitting it to be moved back when a bap- tism was to take place, the baptistery being underneath.
The vestry, too, underwent great changes, being moved to the rear, and excavation made to give greater height. Entrance was had by the outer side door in pleasant weather; when stormy, through a room used for the stor- age of baptismal robes and church furniture. The floors of this room and of the small vestry were not lowered until 1868, when alterations were made, giving a broad passage-way to the vestry from the church vestibule with- out going out of doors.
In 1869 another season of change came round; the large pulpit gave place to the smaller desk now in use, the pulpit platform was considerably altered, the galleries cut off, leaving one window free upon each side, another recess added at the left of the pulpit for the organ, in front of which, upon a raised platform, were the singers' seats. This made it necessary to remove the wing pews upon that side, while those upon the right were moved away from the wall, and joined to the body pews.
In making these several changes the old material was utilized, so that today we find much to remind us of the old theater. The outside vestry doors are the original main entrance doors, the bottom stile and lower panel having been cut off. The double doors leading into the vestry from the entry were probably the side entrance doors (the middle doorway being larger than the others), while the large single doors, with double panels were, most likely, those which opened into the theater from the vestibule. Three doors from the old building are now in

use in the house owned by M. F. King, on Green St., his father having bought some of the old material; an- other is an outside door in the house of Warren P. Chase, on Pine St .; this was secured by Levi F. Drake, who owned the house at that time.
The pulpit, sofa, and chairs in use in 1836, now find a home in the vestry. The Bible was presented to the church at the time of its formation by Capt. Benjamin Underwood, and has been read by all of the pastors ; it is true, it had a season of rest, for after the remodeling of the church in 1856, some of the good sisters thought a new one was needed, and it soon found a place upon the desk, the old one being laid aside, but not long, for the church was soon after entered by burglars, and the new Bible stolen. On account of this act the old one was restored to its place, where it has since remained. It is an interesting fact to note that this Bible was printed in 1829, the same year the theater was projected.
The small window seen at the side of the recess in the frontispiece was the ticket office window of the theater, which was not removed when the changes were made in 1836, and here the boys often lingered to watch the peo- ple come into church. The sign,"Way to the Pit," so frequently mentioned in connection with the old theater and church, was found when the old front was torn away in 1856, laid up over the plastering, but it is not known what disposition was made of it. It is also related that a bottle of brandy was found under the corner-stone, which was secured by one of the workmen.
The spire, erected in 1856, was one hundred and eigh-

ty-five feet in height. It was not only the pride of the Free Street Society, but admired by both citizens and strangers for its symmetry and beauty. A severe gale, which occurred March 21, 1876, so sprung the upper part as to cause fears that it might fall upon the neighboring buildings. An examination by experts proved that the frame-work and foundation still remained firm, the outer covering only having been disturbed ; but in deference to public opinion it was thought best to remove it, which was done.
On June 8th of this year there was raised to the belfry of the church a fine-toned bell, bearing the following inscription : -
This bell was presented to the Free St. Baptist Society by Ambrose K. Shurtleff, as a memorial of his wife, Lorinda Shurt- leff, who died January 13, 1876. "Gone, but not forgotten."
The bell was rung for church service for the first time June 11.
The first mention we find upon the records in reference to an organ is in the estimate of expenditures at the annual meeting, October 21, 1845. Up to this time a parlor organ had been hired of Mr. William Beckett. The estimate was as follows: -
" Organ, 100; " "playing organ, 50 ;" " blowing organ, 3;" " singing, 85." Previous to this the estimates for music had varied from three hundred and fifty dollars in 1836, to one hundred in 1841, the average being one hundred and sixty-five.
Under date of October 1, 1851, is the following vote :
80
FREE STREET SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
" That the clerk record on the parish records the Treas- "urer's list of those who are proprietors of the organ at "the present time." It was also voted : "That the Treas- "urer be authorized to procure an insurance upon the " organ to the amount of five hundred dollars." It seems that the organ was bought by a "Stock Company," the parish paying the interest upon the amount of purchase, which for several years after 1845 is put down at ninety dollars; below are the names of the shareholders, and number of shares held by each at that time.

February 10, 1853, the names of all the above share- holders, with the exception of four, are recorded as relin- quishing their shares to the Society. Of the four (repre- senting six shares), two were formerly members of the church, one had died, the other been excluded, and it is presumed the other two shareholders were deceased, or had removed from the city. The organ became the prop- erty of the parish, and we find afterward no appropria-

tions except for "music." The organ stood in the gallery of the house over the vestibule. After the repairs were made upon the church in 1869, a new organ was purchased, and placed in the recess made for it on the left of the pulpit. It was used for publie worship the first time on Sunday, March 11, 1872, Dr. Small preach- ing an appropriate sermon from the text, Ps. 150, 4, " Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. The old one was bought by a benevolent gentleman of this city, and by him presented to the church in Buxton Center.
INCIDENTS RELATING TO THE ANNIVERSARY.
The view of the church interior on page 5, gives a very good idea of the decorations for the semi-centennial. The panel at the right of the pulpit consisted of a frame with arched top, seventeen feet in height, by thirteen feet in width, covered with garnet felting. The names of " The Founders " were painted upon a large scroll, the dates and passages of Scripture being in gilt letters, while bars of gilt molding divided the several sections. The por- traits and photographs of the original members, which were hung upon the lower part of the panel, formed an interesting feature, recalling many tender memories of former years. Several were added on Monday, being brought in by loving friends. The following is a full list of the portraits exhibited. Byron Greenough, Henry B. Hart, Sarah H. Hart, Alpheus Shaw, Jane Shaw, Cather- ine (Mrs. James) Greenough, George H. Cheney, Sarah D. Cheney, Sophia Cheney Manning, Henry Ilsley jr.,

Sally (Ulrick) Richards, Mary M. (Colcord) Shirley, Sally Wilson, and Daniel Balch.
Mrs. Catherine Greenough sent with her photograph a card bearing her name, and underneath "Num. 6: 24-27." They reached us on Monday afternoon, adding interest to the exercises.
The desire was so generally expressed that the panel might remain throughout the year, it was decided to leave it, and where the portraits were hung is now placed in gilt letters the following quotation : -
Other men laboured, and pe are entered into their labours.
John ib. xxxbiii.
During his discourse on Sunday morning the pastor spoke of the persecution accorded the early Baptists; how in 1767 a Baptist preacher was denied the privilege of publicly declaring the Word of God in our city, and dur- ing the years just previous to 1800, those who dared affirm their belief in doctrines as held by Baptists were subjected to wicked and shameful treatment. In 1796, six or seven who had separated from other societies on account of their belief, banded together, and held meet- ings for religious worship at the house of one of their number. Others joined them, resulting in the formation of a church in 1801.
At the Communion service in the afternoon he alluded to the portraits of original members upon the wall, -the pleasure it gave to many to look upon their faces, - but it was a greater pleasure to know that we had with us

two whose names were inscribed upon the scroll among " The Founders," Mrs. Sarah H. Hart and Mrs. Eliza- beth S. Kelley; and he had been informed since the morn- ing that the mother of Mrs. Kelley was one of the six or seven who " banded together " in 1796, and was driven from her home on account of joining the Baptists. Also that Mrs. Mary M. (Colcord) Shirley, another of the orig- inal members, now residing in Brooklyn, N. Y., was a sis- ter of Mrs. Kelley.
