The church from its organization has taken a deep interest in and given liberally to all the missionary and benevolent work of the Baptist denomination. Its founder succeeded in imbuing it with his own lofty ideals.
It responded promptly to the Christian Endeavor movement, and was early in the field with its own local organization.
Its Sunday school has uniformly been large and efficient, in proportion to the congregation. It was never more prosperous than now, 1907, under the superintendency of Deacon C. B. Ross, with Mrs. Ross as head of the primary department, which meets separately.
The following persons have served as superintendent: Rev ..

In the early records it is frequently noted that Bro. so-and-so "preached all day." It means, of course, forenoon and after- noon. In 1875 the afternoon service was discontinued during July and August, and in 1880 altogether, in all the churches.
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Early in the nineteenth century the "Hardy Neighborhood," so called, was visited by one or more Methodist preachers and a small "class" formed, which as preaching ceased was finally abandoned.
· The writer has a letter from an aged Methodist minister, who says: "I remember when a small boy (about 1810 or 1812) seeing a Mr. Evans, who lived in Enfield, often at my father's house. He was dressed in 'ye olden style,' with long stockings and breeches or kilts, that reached below the knees and were fastened with knee buckles. I then thought him an old man, but he was probably about forty. He was pastor of a church at Enfield, and also judge of probate; he was a Methodist 'itin- erant' and often preached in Lebanon, and was one of the pio- neers of Methodism in the early part of the nineteenth century."
It is probable the first sermon preached in organized Metho- dism in Lebanon was by Rev. Robert Williams, a local preacher, who preached in the schoolhouse in the Hardy neighborhood (then called "The Village") in 1821. He formed a "class" of seven persons which was continued, and from which the present church sprung.
Mr. Williams preached in the neighborhood more or less for three years with good results, for we find that in the second sum- mer of his preaching he baptized Isaac Fitch and Eunice Ed- wards in the brook running through the Colonel Alden farm (a much larger brook than at the present day), Mr. Fitch by immer- sion and Miss Edwards by sprinkling. These were probably the first baptisms by Methodists in Lebanon, and the service is re- ported to have been witnessed by a large number of people.
The schoolhouse was soon too small to hold the people, who came to hear "the preaching of the word;" the groves were often

HISTORY OF LEBANON.
resorted to as places of worship, and one record says the first "Quarterly meeting" was held in a new corn barn on the Fitch Loomer place.
Many Methodists of the early times have blessed memories of this same Hardy neighborhood, and at least seven of its resi- dents have since become preachers of the Gospel, to wit: Rev. Anthony C. Hardy, Rev. George Noyes, Rev. Charles H. Lovejoy (of bleeding Kansas fame) and four sons of the Rev. Robert Wil- liams; a proud record for any neighborhood.
It is also recorded that in these days Rev. Joseph Kellum came to Lebanon and labored with success. He resided with George Storrs on the hill south of the plain, where he formed a "class" and George Storrs was appointed "leader." Mr. Storrs was born and reared in Lebanon, educated at Kimball Union Acad- emy, and while quite young was appointed captain of a uni- formed company of militia, and afterwards became major of his regiment, and was in a fair way of promotion when he became satisfied that he was commissioned from the highest of all author- ity to preach the Gospel. He was in easy financial circumstances and sought an interview with Rev. Robert Williams, which re- sulted in his uniting with the Methodist Episcopal Church and was licensed as a preacher ; was ordained in 1829, and filled some of the best appointments in the New Hampshire and Vermont conference. Being a man of strong convictions, he embraced anti-slavery principles and evidently feeling the church did not take sufficiently advanced ground, withdrew. Mr. Storrs wrote several noteworthy books, and died in Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Storrs often preached in the Hardy schoolhouse, but after a time the Methodists began to preach in the old "Town House," when it stood on the common.
An old citizen remembers a communion service held in the old town house, where a communion rail was improvised by using planks at which to kneel. A large number of people are reported to have been present. This was about 1828.
The first mention we find of Lebanon in the general minutes is in 1825, when Lebanon is reported as a part of Canaan circuit. In 1828-'29 it is quoted as being connected with Plainfield or Meriden circuit. About this time a revival is reported and Christopher Tone, the son of a Hessian soldier, who did not

fancy having his services sold to the English for the purpose of putting down the rebellion of the colonies, and who for that rea- son deserted their ranks at the battle of Bennington, was, with his wife, converted, and came to Lebanon to live. He was a man of great energy and perseverance, and was one of the leaders in building the present house of worship; for the record says in 1832 Marlin Downer, Christopher Tone and Isaac Fitch, seeing the need of a house of worship, took the entire responsibility on themselves, bought the land, built the church, depending on the sale of the pews for their pay, and while rumor says it was not a financial bonanza for themselves, it did prove a good investment for the cause of Christ. Their record is on high; their reward in heaven.
On January 6, 1832, Constant Storrs, Christopher Tone, Moody Noyes, Isaac Fitch and William Pardee assembled and formed themselves into a religious association, "to be known as the first Methodist Episcopal Society of Lebanon, County of Grafton and state of New Hampshire, agreeable to an act of the Legislature of said state, passed July 3, 1827, entitled 'An Act empowering religious societies to assume and exercise corporate powers.' "
They agreed to "assemble at the house of H. M. French on Monday, 23rd day of January, 1832, at one o'clock in the after- noon to organize and adopt a constitution." The meeting was held on time, but for some reason not at H. M. French's, for the record says, "The first annual meeting convened at the house of Calvin Benton in said town and adjourned to the house of Mrs. Lucinda Storrs," when the constitution was adopted. The rea- son for this sudden change does not appear. At the first an- nual meeting Nathaniel Ladd was chosen "moderator" and Marlin Downer clerk, an office which Mr. Downer held for many years.
The house was finished in the spring of 1833, and was dedi- cated "to Almighty God and the use of the Methodist Episcopal Church forever" by Rev. B. R. Hoyt, the exact date being lost.
At the Vermont and New Hampshire conference (then one) held at Windsor, Vt., August 6, 1833, Rev. J. W. Morey was ap- pointed to Lebanon Methodism, which may be said to have set up "housekeeping" that year.
432
HISTORY OF LEBANON.
In 1836 five men bought a house and lot directly opposite the church, which cost them about $800, which in 1838 they deeded to a board of trustees, to be held for a Methodist Episcopal par- sonage forever. This house was in 1861 moved to Elm Street and a new parsonage built.
The church edifice has been much increased in size by adding transepts, balcony and a choir chancel, and has a seating ca- pacity of nearly seven hundred.
The church has had thirty-three pastors in its seventy-five years of existence, one, Rev. Chas. E. Hall, D. D., having served two terms, the first in 1873-74-75, and again in 1896-97-98.
The church in Lebanon has always extended a most cordial welcome to the masses, and for years has been the church home of large congregations, the present membership being about two hundred and fifty.
The church contains a fine organ, largely the gift of the late Hon. A. M. Shaw, who was for many years a liberal supporter of this church. The choir has for many years consisted of a large chorus, the policy being to utilize the musical talent of the younger members of the congregation, who contribute their ser- vices, and it speaks well for the solid character of the choir, when we say the present chorister has wielded the baton for forty-two years.
The church celebrated its seventy-five years of existence in January, 1908, with interesting services extending over two weeks, during which the history of the church was carefully re- viewed.
In 1901 the society voted to make the pews free and preaching is supported by the voluntary contributions of the people, who contribute weekly as the Lord has prospered them, and all bills are cheerfully met.
THE UNIVERSALIST SOCIETY.
It has been well said that "the history of a church can never be written." Especially is this true when so few of the people who are active in the affairs of the most worthy objects fail to consider the necessity of recording and carefully preserving the proceedings of the organization of which they are members.

CHURCHES OF THE TOWN.
The task I have undertaken, to give a brief sketch of the Uni- versalist Society of Lebanon, has been rendered extremely diffi- cult by a failure in recording and preserving intact the records of its early days.
From the material at hand, however, we learn that the Uni- versalist Society was organized about 1808 (the exact date can- not be given as the early records are lost), and for several years prior to their calling a minister meetings were held and occa- sional sermons delivered by the early pioneers of the denomina- tion, viz. Hosea Ballou, Sebastian Streeter, Sylvanus Cobb and others.
Their meetings were held a portion of the time in the house of Thomas Packard, situated on the road to Enfield, and now owned and occupied by George E. Gile.
The construction of this house, like many others of that day, was well adapted for the purpose. In the second story was a large square room designed and used for the purpose of spinning the yarn and weaving the cloth used by the family, as was the custom in those days. At other times services were held in some schoolhouse in the town, where accommodations for the follow- ers of this faith could be obtained. In 1811 and again in 1819 the general conventions of the denomination were held here.
The first settled minister was the Rev. Daniel Pickering. He was followed by Rev. Lemuel Willis, whose date of settlement was in 1824.
They made good proof of their ministry and were highly re- spected by the people of Lebanon, but no man was ever more beloved in the town than their successor, Rev. John Moore of saintly memory, whose ministry dated from March, 1828. His engagement in Lebanon was for half the time. During the other half he preached in Claremont, Newport, Hanover, Lyme, Piermont, N. H., and in his native place, Strafford, and other towns in Vermont. He had one of the most promising fields for religious culture, and well did he improve his opportunities. He was both pastor and missionary and well qualified did he prove himself for both kinds of ministerial work, and his influ- ence for good was felt wherever he went. He was everywhere a representative and advocate of the cause he had espoused.
Dignified, yet gentle and easy in manner, plain and persua- 28
434
HISTORY OF LEBANON.
sive in his public speech, he could not fail of eliciting attention and commanding respect wherever he appeared.
In September, 1830, the Universalist General Convention was again held in Lebanon, and was an occasion of great interest to all present. Under date of January 29, 1831, I find the follow- ing recorded :
"On the 11th day of January, 1831, Enoch Freeman, James Willis and Daniel Whittemore of Lebanon in the County of Grafton, and State of New Hampshire, and others, their asso- ciates, members of the denomination of Christians called Uni- versalists having met at the inn of Calvin Benton, Esq., in said Lebanon, assumed the corporate name of 'The First Universal- ist Society in Lebanon, New Hampshire.'
"Attest : Nathan B. Felton, Clerk of said Society. "January 29, 1831."
Rev. Mr. Moore remained with the society in Lebanon until February, 1833, when he accepted a call to Danvers, Mass. Upon his withdrawal great disappointment was felt, and at a meeting of the society held just prior to his departure he entered into an agreement to return to them at the expiration of a year, should they then earnestly desire it. During the year of his absence Rev. - - Knapp administered to the society. At the end of the year the Lebanon society claimed the fulfillment of Mr. Moore's promise to return to them, and he accordingly did so, resuming his labors in January, 1835.
It was during the year 1835 that the "Town Meeting House" was remodelled, the Universalists finishing a commodious audi- ence room in the second story. There were 68 slips, besides a large orchestra in front of the desk. The alterations were com- pleted in August when the house was reopened for religious wor- ship by dedicatory services. The church organization was not perfected until the return of Rev. Mr. Moore in 1835. I find this record pertaining to the church: "We the undersigned believing our individual and mutual edification and growth in grace may be improved, the apostolic examples observed and the cause of truth and happiness promoted by the organization of a church, in connection with the First Universalist Society of Leb- anon, do hereby enter into such connection, and adopt the New
REV. G. W. BAILEY.

Testament as the rule of our faith and practice. We will, there- fore, invite to our communion all Christians, and receive into our fellowship any person desirous of leading a Christian life."
Rev. Mr. Moore remained with the society at Lebanon until December, 1839, when he removed to Hartford, Conn. From 1840 to 1851 the ministers were Revs. - Harris, John J. Putnam, Lemuel B. Mason, and John S. Lee, the latter severing his connection with the society in 1851, to assume the charge of the Green Mountain Liberal Institute at South Woodstock, Vt., where he also had a class in theology, and fitted nine young men for the ministry.
In 1852 the Rev. George W. Bailey accepted a call to the society and his pastorate extended to 1865 or 1866. At the close of Mr. Bailey's ministry, this organization was merged into the Unitarian Society. The rebuilding or remodelling of the old "Town Meeting House" into its present form resulted in the decline of interest in the maintainance of an organization of this faith, and its small fund, derived from the sale of its pews in the old "Meeting House" was divided by a vote of the society, a portion going toward the purchase of an organ for the Unitarian Society, the balance to the trustees of the Public Library, the income to be appropriated for the purchase of books.
NOTE .- From the Universalist Register I take the following: "In 1859 Dr. Lee removed to Canton, N. Z., where he was connected with St. Lawrence University as president for nine years. His health be- coming impaired, he sought rest and renewed strength in a journey to Europe and the Holy Land. After his return he wrote and published two books: "Nature and Art in the Old World," and "Sacred Cities," both evincing wise and profitable observations in his travels. Resuming work in the university he was appointed professor of ecclesiastical his- tory and biblical archaeology in the Theological School, a position which he held the remainder of his life, a period of thirty-three years. In 1874 he received the degree of D. D. from Butchel College and in 1901 the degree of LL. D. from Tufts College. Doctor Lee was a man of great industry, genial, eminently social in his nature and steadfast in his friendships. In the midst of his varied professional duties, he found time to contribute many valuable articles to the denominational papers, and from 1850 to 1891 he furnished twenty valuable papers to the Universalist Quarterly. All his powers were devoted to the church of his love, and he rendered long and devoted service to her institutions of learning. His death occurred in Canton, N. Z., September 18, 1902.

HISTORY OF LEBANON.
SACRED HEART.
The first mass was celebrated at Lebanon in 1835, by Rev. Father O'Reilley. The mission was afterward supplied by Rev. Fathers Daily and Brady until 1862. The first church was pur- chased by Father Brady in 1856. The Rev. Father Noiseux af- terward attended Lebanon until 1870, when it was placed under the charge of the pastor at Claremont, Rev. Father Devonne. The Very Rev. John Murphy, late Vicar General of Portland, Me., also attended this mission from Laconia, where he was pas- tor. His successor, Rev. Father Goodwin, looked after it until the appointment of Rev. L. Trudell as first resident pastor in 1871. Father Finnegan succeeded Father Truedell in 1876. It was he who built the present neat and convenient church and also the parochial residence.
The old church was sold to a gentleman of the town and made into a factory, for which purpose it is still used. Father Finne- gan was followed in 1881 by Rev. Father Sullivan, who in turn was succeeded by Rev. Father Laplante in 1882. At Hanover, a mission of Lebanon, Father Laplante purchased land and his successor, in 1886, the Rev. Father Paradis, built a very neat church upon it, which was dedicated by Bishop Bradley in 1887. Father Paradis improved the parochial residence in Lebanon and increased the seating capacity of the church. He also purchased a cemetery which was consecrated by Bishop Bradley in 1891. Hanover, Enfield, Canaan, Danbury, Potter Place and Andover are missions of Lebanon, and like it, have been attended by the several pastors of Claremont, Laconia and Lancaster.
Parochial schools under the charge of lay teachers were estab- lished by Father Paradis in 1889. Father Paradis was trans- ferred to Littleton in 1893, and was succeeded by Rev. Martin H. Egan, who is at present the efficient pastor of Lebanon. He is assisted by Rev. Fr. Bernadin. (Rev. M. H. Egan was trans- ferred to Keene in 1907.)
