Oct. 3, 1859, it was voted " that George W. Eastman be requested to ascertain the expense of repairing and fitting up the two bass viols."
In 1862 the organ needed tuning and was much out of repair, which led to desiring a large organ for the gallery. A pipe organ was procured, which after a time was pronounced unsatisfactory, and in 1867 Col. Albert L. Eastman presented the church and society with the organ represented in the cut.
This organ was dedicated with programme as follows :--
" Grand Concert and Opening of the New Organ in the Congregational Church, on Tuesday Erening, December 10, 1867.

March 15, 1870, voted, "that the committee have power to sell the old parlor organ."
In 1867, Mrs. S. Lizzie Hunkins was organist for two years : Mrs. Mary Ida ( Haseltine ) Noves from 1869 to 1874 : Mrs. Orrie B. (Little) Pressey from 1874 for several years.
March 6, 1880, at a church meeting, " it was recommended that circumstances deem it expedient that the church do henceforth have entire control of the sacred music, according to congregational usage, and not depend upon outside organ- ization. In view of the foregoing the following resolutions were accepted and adopted :-
175
HAMPSTEAD, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Resolved 1st. " That the church shall begin at once to assume entire control of her sacred music."
24. "That the members of the Hampstead Sacred Music Society be respectfully informed of the above action on the part of the church. and that in consequence thereof their services as an organization are no longer required in the condueting of our service of song."
3d. "That we do hereby extend a vote of thanks to the members of the Hlampstead Saered Music Society for their valuable services."
4th. "That a committee of three be chosen for the year ensuing to have full power to organize a choir to lead us in our service of song."
John S. Corson, Dea. Wm. Sanborn, and Dea. Caleb Wil- liams were chosen.
April, 1893, voted, "that John S. Corson, Eugene L. Spinney, Wm. H. Davis and Forrest E. Merrill be a commit- tee to consider and formulate plans for the training of young voices, in the view of enlarging the choir and to introduce new singing books."
A piano was placed in the church in 1893, through the personal effort of Rev. Mr. Gardner, who obtained subserip- tions for the same, beginning with a substantial gift from Mrs. Nelson Ordway. The piano has proved a great help to the church and Sunday school, and is greatly prized in their evening services.
Dec. 20,1895, Forrest E. Merrill motioned that the old organ used before the new piano was secured be presented to Dea. Wm. H. Davis as a token of esteem for his long service as a faithful chorister, which was done, and cordially accepted.
In the spring of 1901 it was self evident to nearly all of the church people that something should be done with the old organ which for thirty-four years had been in constant use on the Sabbath. It was found upon careful investigation that the organ could only be repaired at a great expense. The pastor, Rev. Rufus P. Gardner, moved to see if they could not have a new organ, and with the repairs which were to be made in the interior of the church, have it placed in front of the church. He brought the matter before his church committee, who approved cordially his plan. With

no subscription paper, but with a quiet invitation to friends and descendants of the fathers and mothers of the church during its one hundred and fifty years of existence, he suc- ceeded in securing the necessary funds to procure the beau- tiful organ as shown in the eut.
The new organ was dedicated Sunday evening. Sept. 1, 1901, when the following programme was pleasantly enjoyed

by a large and appreciative audience, including nine persons who were present at the dedication of the organ in the gal- lery, Dec. 10, 1867.

Rev. Mr. Gardner spoke in part as follows: " It has been one of the real pleasures of my life to collect the free will offerings-no one but the auditor to know how much each one has given-enabling me, as chairman of the musical committee, to present this beautiful organ in behalf of the donors, as a piece of property to the church and society. A gift of one hundred and fifty of the friends of the Congregational Church in Hampstead, for the praise of God, and in memory of the fathers and mothers who have worshipped here. And these keys to the faithful organist of the church, Mrs. Minnie E. Emerson, who for nearly fourteen years has played the old organ. We extend to her our grateful appreciation of her willingness to aid in our service of song.
The organ loft and platform have been quite expensive, built by Mr. Horace Bailey in a workmanlike manner of quartered oak finish, and as the organ firm directed, and must give general satisfaction. The organ loft, furnishings, carpet, chairs (excepting the chorister's chair), are gifts of the Sunday School and Home Department.
The chorister's ehair is a gift from Mrs. L. Ada Libbey, in the name of her father. Mr. George W. Eastman, who for thirty-six years was a member of the choir and fourteen years as chorister.
The glass upon the organ is the gift of Mrs. Cleveland, wife of ex- President Grover Cleveland.
The lamp is the gift of some of my personal friends, not Hampstead people. The curtain is a gift of the King's Daughters.
May the new organ be very useful."
Nearly one hundred persons have sung in the choir five years or more. The choristers since 1840 have been Amos Merrill, R. Kimball Brickett, a member of the choir for more than fifty years ; Jacob Irving, many years ; Albert W. Ayer, twenty-two years in the choir ; George W. East- man, thirty-six years in the choir; William MeNiel, in the choir nine years : John C. Little, eleven years : Eugene
