Under such happy auspices, and with the counsel of so,eminent a divine, Mr. Strong began his ministry. His notes are written in a small, even, close hand, but contain no reference to any parish or town event, only the list of those who were baptized by him, and those who renewed their baptismal covenant.
In the winter of 1750, one Sunday morning suc- ceeding the death of his infant child, he preached from the text, " Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil ;" before the afternoon service he was taken ill, and died on Mon- day, the 30th of September, 1751, and was buried by the side of Mr. Shurtleff, under the pulpit of the old South, whence the remains of both were taken to the cemetery at the destruction of that building, and over them a plain and substantial tombstone was erected by the parish.
The period between his death and the choice of another minister was very brief, for immediately after the last baptism of Mr. Strong is this note in the handwriting of his successor: "Sept., 1751, Died the Rev. Mr. Job Strong, Pastor of the South Church of Christ, Portsmouth, and was succeeded in his pastoral office by Mr. Sam1 Haven, May 6, 1752, by whom is made the following entry : The South Church & C'on- gregation in Portsmouth late under ye pastoral care of the Rev. Mr. Job Strong unanimously elected Mr. Sam Haven to be their Pastor, who was accordingly separated to that office, and received the particular charge of them May 6, 1752."
Mr. Ilaven was born in Framingham, Mass., in 1727; was graduated at Harvard University in 1749; stndied theology with Rev. Mr. Parkman, of West-

borough, Mass,, and received and declined invitation to settle in Brookfield, Medway, Braintree, and Brook- line, which showed the acceptance and promise of his ministrations, and prophesied the abundant success he was to have in the longest pastorate of any min- ister in this town.
Mr. Ilaven had been settled but a very few years when it became evident to at least some of his parish- joners that his inclinations were towards a theology a little modified from the strietness in which it had been expressed by the common school of the New England divines, for as early as 1757, or only five years after his settlement, we find a church meeting called upon the desire of John Eliot, Abraham Eliot, and Perkins Ayers (and some women), and upou being asked what they had to offer to the church, preferred the following letter :
"TO THE SOUTHI CHURCH.
"BRETHREN,-Whereas we, the subscribers, have for some time ab- dented from the commission and from ye public worship of God with you, and as you have not inquired of us the reasons of our so doing, we think it our duty to give you the reason of our coulnet, as followeth :
"1. As we look upon it that Congregational churches ought to keep ye rules of Cambridge Platform, and defend ye Doctrines of ye New Eng- land Confession of Faith, being agreeable to God's word as we judge, and was established by authority, so we find upon examination you do not practice agreeable thereto, and we have been obliged in conscience to withdraw from you, that we might not any longer partake with you in your suit : the necessity of leaving you being matter of grief to us, for it is not out of any contempt of ye Holy Fellowship which ought to be among you that we have left you, but for our better edification, and that because we cannot profit under Mr. Haven's preaching, for we judge Mr. Haven's preaching generally tends to encourage saints & sinners in a generall way to think that if they exercise ye natural strength & power they have, that God will be obliged to have mercy on them for Christ sake ; which we judge tends to make persons think that God's Decree in election depends upon ye conduct of ye creature, which would at once overthrow ye Doctrines of free grace Election. God says by ye prophet Hosea, ' & Israel thou hast destroyed thyself, but in me is thy help,' & tho' ye Apostle exhorts man to do good works as commanded by God, yet he says that without Faith it is impossible to please God, & that whatsnever is not of faith is sin, by which it appears that Persons in a state of unture cannot do anything that obligen God to have mercy upon them
"They further charged that Mr. Haven took in members contrary to the Platform; that the Church Government was not what it ought to be; that Mr. Haven baptized Infants of anch as were not members, uud that he endeavored to keep the gifts of God from being used by such as God send« umong us, by which it appears to us he is nut ou ye Lord's side ( which seems to mean that he did not Invite one Mr. Crosswell, who some of these strict theologians desired to hear, to preach for them), and so opon due consideration and as a matter of conscience, they could not worship any longer where Mr. Haven preached, and must enter a church which was conducted according to ye rule and order of ye Gog- pel, and they close by saying, in what we have done we have aimed at God's glory and a reformation among na, and by God's grace nssisting, we are resolved fn his strength to pursue."
This paper is signed by three men and nine women, and dated Portsmouth, Oct. 11, 1757.
There followed a lengthy debate upon the important matter, and the pastor having declared his sentiments with regard to these points by doctrine, which are mentioned in the letter, and concerning many others which they were pleased to question him about, the dissatisfied brethren aforesaid signified their full satis- faction and acquiescence in what the pastor had then represented as his faith, and then the church declared
that they could not upon recollection remember that the pastor had ever advanced anything contrary to, or inconsistent with, what he had then declared to be his faith in the points questioned.
A committee consisting of Henry Sherburne, Mat- thew Livermore, James Clarkson, and Deacons Mark Langdon and Daniel Jackson was joined with the pastor to prepare an answer, but John Eliot "in ye meeting addressed himself to ye church" and said, " I assure you I shall never give myself the trouble to read your answer."
Thus ended in writing the first controversy with the young and liberal pastor, to whose views, in har- mony with the first tremblings of that religious move- ment which was soon to disturb New England, it is owing that the South Parish was prepared to fully en- dorse it under the ministry of Dr. Parker, which be- gan in 1808 and closed in 1833.'
Ministers at the North or New Parish .- The new parish at the Bank, as it was then always named, and the North Church, since continued under the ministry of Mr. Rogers for nine years, and was suc- ceeded by Mr. Fitch, during whose ministry the feel- ing caused by the separation passed away, and Mr. Shurtleff then began an interchange of pulpit and pastoral services.
Dr. Langdon,-Next, Mr. Langdon, the school- master in the town, who for a short time had been Mr. Fitch's assistant, and was pastor until 1774, when he accepted the presidency of Harvard College.
Dr. Stiles,-He was succeeded by Dr. Stiles, who after a brief ministry was elected to the presidency of Yale College, and in 1779 by the Rev. Dr. Buck- minster, among the most gifted and distinguished ministers New Hampshire has had.
Dr. Buckminster .- The old church, under its so- briquet of "the three-decker," on account of its gal- leries, was crowded by the eloquence of Dr. Buck- minster, justly regarded as one of the greatest preachers of his day, and called upon at every public occasion. Dr. Haven was then suffering under the infirmities of age, and the South Parish had reached its lowest estate. The most cordial relations had for a long time existed between the clergymen and con- gregations of the two parishes, so that when Dr. Haven died in 1806, Dr. Buckminster officiated at his funeral, and when Dr. Buckminster died in 1812, Dr. Parker, recently settled over the South Parish, preached his funeral sermon to an immense and sor- rowing congregation in the North Church. It was during the ministry of Dr. Buckminster that the elements of a great theological change began to ap- pear in all parts of New England, and while the most pleasant interchanges of private and pulpit offices were abandoned, the doctrinal differences only widened. By reason of his eloquence and popular gifts and personal acceptance, Dr. Buckminster was still

patiently listened to by those who had grown away from his views, so that after his death, it was impos- sible for the parish to unite upon a successor for nearly three years; and one of the class-men they in- vited to settle over them on a strictly doctrinal vote by a majority of one, was a Unitarian, whose settle- ment was prevented only by the separate action of the church. When the parish failed in obtaining the pastor of their choice, at first protested against the settlement of Mr. Robinson to the number of over sixty legal voters and then withdrew to the South Parish, under the rising popularity of the distin- guished Dr. Parker.
The Universalist Parish .- In the year 1784 we have to note another of large importance and influ- ence in the history of church matters in this town. In that year a house of worship was built in Vaughan this should be, in historical accuracy, regarded as the beginning of the sect here instead of the year 1773, from which date the centennial services were reck- oned. It is true, Mr. Murray had preached the doc- trines of Universalism in Portsmouth as early as the commencement of the Revolutionary war, at the church building of the Sandermanians and of the Independent Congregational Society, and meetings may have been held with some degree of regularity from the year 1782; but the historical beginnings of the parish cannot by any methods of reckoning be carried beyond 1780, and should with greater correct- ness begin with the ministrations of Mr. Parker, a layman of their own number in 1784. Then for ten years the society had only occasional supplies until Rev. George Richards was invited to become the minister in August, 1783, and was ordained in July, 1799. From that time until 1807 the parish had a
Conclusion .- Since the Revolution there is little in the history of this settlement which one may not find easy of access in the various periodicals by which prosperous life, and in the following year the present | current events have been minutely described and beautiful church edifice was dedicated.1
Various Events .- In 1756 the first newspaper pub- Jished in New Hampshire was printed by Daniel Fowle, and called the New Hampshire Gazette and Historienl Chronicle.
In 1764 another weekly paper was started, beeanse the Gazette was regarded as too timid in the cause of ' struetive inroads of time, and however far its inhab- liberty, called the New Hampshire Mercury.
In 1758 a State-house was, by direction of the Gen- eral Assembly, built in this town; there for a number of years Dr. Haven, of the South Parish, and Dr. Langdon, of the North Parish, alternately officiated as chaplains. On the 20th of April, 1761, Mr. John Stavers commenced running a stage from this town to Boston, drawn by two horses and sufficiently wide to carry three passengers, leaving here on Monday and returning to this town on Friday, and the fare about three dollars. It was in the year 1774, in the excitement which, long controlled, was just beginning to break forth in the riotous demonstrations preceding
the Revolution, that the Committee of Safety col- lected a company, and went to Fort William and Mary, at New Castle, occupying the site of Fort ! Constitution, and brought off the stores of gunpowder and arms, which some of our later historians have shown was one of the first acts of the war, and to be credited to the patriotism or the rebellion of this town before the battle of Bunker Hill or the affairs of Lex- ington and Concord.
In the year 1775, Governor Wentworth came to the Isles of Shoals, and prorogued the General As- sembly, which was his last official act within the province, and the royal government in New Hamp- shire entirely ceased.
Independence and Peace .- In the year 1783 the articles of peace were celebrated in this town with great enthusiasm and display. Bells were rung, Street, where Mr. Stoddard's stable now stands, and , salutes fired, and the North Church crowded for a religions service, at which Dr. Haven and Mr. Buck- minster both offered prayers, which were spoken of as most eloquent and pathetic, a prayer in those days not unfrequently having all the preparation, charac- teristics, and effects of a most studied and brilliant orator.
Visit of Washington .- In October, 1789, the President, George Washington, visited Portsmouth, and was received most heartily by the whole popula- tion. Full and glowing as our accounts are of this interesting event in our history, we ean still depend only upon the imagination to fill out the picture of the enthusiastic oration, and the spontaneous grati- tude and respect which were paid to this illustrious general and statesman.
carefully preserved. The early and struggling col- ony had become one of the original States of the American Union. For a long time Portsmouth filled an important place in the commerce, business, social life, literature, and culture of New England. Its beautiful old residences were guarded from the de- itants wandered, they cherished an unusual fondness for the place of their birth; but for some years the changed and enlarged avenues of trade have drawn its sons to other centres of business which offer greater opportunities, and, like so many of the New England colonial towns, its future seems to be one of commercial decline instead of growth, while the ap- preciation of the beauty of its situation by the un- changing sea only deepens with its increasing throng of visitors.
