them through the cold weather getting out finish. Every board was planed by hand ; apprentices ran splitting saws all winter, late and early, and planed spruce boards every week-day evening till nine o'clock. The following June the building was raised ; and when they come to put up the stee- ple, they drew up the two long front timbers to a perpendicular position by means of ropes, and fastened them there by ropes ; and then the other two long timbers lay upon the roof, and two young men, Ira Cochran and William S. Foster, clung to the top ends and were swung up with the timbers to enter the braces at the top and join them, and then slide down a rope outside to the ground. Being promptly completed, this house was dedi- cated to God fifty years ago this month (Wednes- day, Nov. 15, 1826), and on that occasion Mr. Whiton preached to a large assembly on the text: "This is none other but the house of God and this is the gate of heaven." (Gen. 28: 17). And doubtless, this text has been found true by many souls. More than 5,000 sermons have been preached here. Nearly 300 funerals have been held in this house. Through many changes the truth has been ably and lovingly spoken; here many have been comforted, many saved, and that sermon of Dr. Whiton was a fit prophecy .of the coming years !
27
The marshals on the day of dedication were Capt. Robert Duncan, Capt. Sutheric Weston and Capt. Thomas D. Nesmith.
The choir was led on that occasion by Captain William Gregg. The only musical instrument was a bass viol, played by William S. Foster. The principal singers on the several parts were as follows, with many others to fill up :
TENOR : Giles Newton, Charles Gates, Joel Wilkins.
TREBLE : Abbie Pratt, Sarah Gregg.
ALTO : Roxey Cram, Abigail Cram.
BASS :
Josiah Duncan, Rodney Sawyer, John S. Par- menter.
The first piece ever sung in this church was the anthem : "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord, etc., - (Ps. 122.)
28
The first Sabbath of the following December they met for the last service in the old house on the hill. It was cold and desolate - nature's mournfulest hour-but the company was large, and Mr. Whiton preached an able sermon, (which ought to be preserved), from John 4: 20, "Our fathers worshipped in this mountain," closing with the words of Jesus at the supper : "Arise, let us go hence." Then they all marched down the hill to this house filling it full, and Mr. Whiton pro- ceeded to preach again from Ps. 132: 8-9, "Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed with right- eousness ; and let thy saints shout for joy."
Yet with these sounds of gladness there were undertones of disquiet and opposition. Building the new house soured some, some wanted an ex- cuse for not paying anything for religion, many felt heavily the cost of construction, so that the next spring ninety-one citizens entered on the town record their protest against paying any tax for Mr. Whiton's support, This made about one-third of the paying men in town, and things looked dark and uncertain for the future. But at this critical juncture God came to his people's rescue. Hardly had the last protest, backed up by vigorous wrath, got into the record, when a revival began. It came entirely unexpected; it broke out where it
29
would never have been looked for; softly as the warm breezes of spring it moved over the whole town -it was the most sweeping and wonderful revival Antrim ever saw; nobody questioned that it was the work of God. It silenced opposition, it turned enemies into friends, it united christians, it brought more than one hundred new members to this church, and its good results are visible now, after the lapse of nearly fifty years. This precious revival began in May and was at its height in hay-time, yet, notwithstanding the time given to meetings, they got their hay all right - and good and plenty besides.
After this the church, then numbering two hun- dred and twenty-five, went peacefully on its way, drawn hard upon each year by death and unusual emigration, till the protracted meetings of 1831- from which 36 were soon added to the church. Some of these before me today, white with years, look back with great interest on those departed scenes.
From 1831 to 1851 we step over twenty years, finding little to be noticed within the intent of the present review. In this time the temperance ex- citement grew up; some of the older members were accustomed to their drinks every day, some were exceedingly bitter against the "new ideas " which called in question their right to drink what
30
they pleased. A temperance lecturer publicly called two of our deacons drunkards, and by all these things the church was so stirred up and di- vided that in 1842 they . appointed a committee consisting of Robert Steele, Joel Wilkins, John Wallace, Moody Barker and Amos Parmenter to talk with the members and report what ought to be done. Their report was long-considered, con- ciliatory, and, in view of all the circumstances, eminently wise and christian-like; was at once adopted by the church, and, among other good things, contained this resolve: "That when per- sons hereafter may offer themselves for admission they be required to abstain from the use of intoxicating drinks, except as a medicine," which, having never been rescinded, is to this day the standing rule of our church.
On the whole this twenty-year period was one of decline and loss. The average annual addition was less than five, and not much more than half enough to make up the depletion by em- igration and death. In this time the diminution of membership must have been more than fifty. But in 1851 a delightful revival came. Mr. Whit- on was now coming to feel heavily the burden of years, and lack of strength for his work; and this outpouring of the spirit was a blessed gladdening to his old age. Thirty-five persons were added to
31
the church; it was greatly cheered and strength- ened by those additions; other denominations in town were also blessed ; peace and love unusually prevailed ; and Mr. Whiton, with characteristic prudence, took this favored time to resign his pas- torship, which was done in May, 1852. At the close of his service the church numbered 153. On the last Sabbath of December following, he preached his farewell discourse. It closed a ser- vice of forty-five years. Many of the hearers of this last sermon were grand-children of his origi- nal flock. A few aged ones present on that occa- sion, remembered the ordination. He had been with them in all the afflictions they ever knew.
And when the committee of the church arose to address to him some parting words in reply, every one was overcome; tears filled the reader's eyes (Dea. Robert Steel), and his voice was choked and broken. And even the saintly old pastor was captured by his emotions. It was a parting of in- tense interest and pain. There was something grand about it. Seldom in this world can such a scene be witnessed. On that day only five were living of the flock to which he came; and on this day only thirty-seven are with us of the great number which he welcomed to the church !
But so well had everything been planned that while one pastor was retiring a successor was on
32
his way ; and in about ten weeks he was heard, called and settled, in the person of Rev. J. H. Bates, a man more than ordinary in learning and power, and commanding everybody's respect, yet less social than Dr. Whiton, and failing to get the peoples' hearts like him.
Under Mr. Bates, for the first eleven years, the additions averaged near five a year, not enough to keep the number good.
In 1862 and 1863 there was a very considerable loss. But in the spring of 1864 Mr. Bates, as though conscious of some unusual feeling among the people, appointed a series of meetings. At first they were thinly attended. On about the third evening this house was full; the work was very searching and deep, and from it more than twenty valuable members were added to this church ; and some were born to Christ who made connections elsewhere. Here it should be said that yonder organ was obtained in the year 1864 by the influence and energy of Mr. Bates. It was donated to the church by the following absent sons of Antrim: Wyman Flint, John G. Flint, I. P. Wallace, M. W. Stickney, Leander Stickney, Andrew C. Cochran and W. W. Duncan. It should be added also, that in the year 1857 this church was remodeled into its present comely form at large expense, and that Mr. Bates deserved much
33
credit for the successful and peaceful accomplish- ment of it.
Hardly had the force of this blessed revival abated, when, July 1, 1866, Mr. Bates offered his resignation, going at once to the desk in Merrimac, thence, soon after, to the South, where he died May 10, 1870.
Then for a year and a half this church lived on the variable provender afforded by candidates. It is said that about twenty of these poor fellows came and went. Some of them were very desirable men whom this congregation could not command. In November, 1867, circumstances entirely outside of my calculations led me here for two sabbaths. Then I was hired for a year. I came here Satur- days and boarded over sabbath from house to house. It was a year of deaths and sorrows ; often I came mid-week for funerals; these and other causes hastened a personal acquaintance between us ; I was called in July, and in the fall declined, feeling unable to do the work; was soon after re- called ; and, as a larger salary was offered, and only one sermon a sabbath demanded, leaving all other work optional with me, I timidly accepted the trust. Now as the ninth year of my service draws near its close, perhaps it is not too much for me to say, that God has blessed this union ; and I desire with you to give glory to His name.
34
Probably it may not be amiss, by way of record, to say here that the vestry was erected in 1875. The people turned out and gave their service to prepare the foundation. The building was given to the church by the following persons ; Hon. William B. Dinsmore, Hon. Daniel M. Christie, Mary Clark, John G. Flint, Esq., M. W. Stickney, Esq., Leander Stickney, Esq., David M. Weston, Esq., Prof. James E. Vose, Gardiner Parmenter, Esq., Hon. George W. Nesmith, Hon. George W. Patterson, Hon. Charles Adams, Jr., W. W. Dun- can, Esq., Edward Whiteley, Esq., Hon, G. W. Cochrane, John J. Whittemore, Esq., and Rev. W. R. Cochrane.
Thus, beloved, I have sketched the ontline of our religious history for a hundred years. The full embrace and measure of its experience can be known only to the Infinite mind, and told only in the eternal world. But surely we have reason to bless God for his care; to keep his word in our hearts ; to teach our children the sureness of his love; and to talk of all his mercies by the way. He has been true to his promises to the fathers. Through all these years and changes, he has kept this people in peace, and to-day we are stronger in numbers and wealth than ever before, and I trust, not less strong in that personal consecration which is the real index of the power of a church.

Numerically considered, this whole review might be exhibited thus :
Whole number of original members, 72
Added before they had a pastor, 48
Number received under Mr. Little, 69
In interval, 1804 to 1808, 11
Number received under Mr. Whiton, 427
Mr. Whiton speaks of a few more, and no doubt he is right, but the names can not be found.
Number received under Mr. Bates, 83
In interval, 1866 to 1868, 2
Number to this date (June 6, 1877), under present pastorate, 179
Whole number received from the first, 892
Members when I came that now survive, 96
Membership when I came, 145
Present membership, 253
Finally, as we turn from these figures, and from the great force of educational and moral influence that can not be reckoned by the figures of this world, it becomes us to learn and feel the lesson of life's brevity. In this review we are brought face to face with characters that were prominent here but a little while ago- now their graves are almost forgotten by the living! A long line of
36
strong men and saintly women have done their work here and departed.
The evidences of stalwart arms and brave hearts in the bygone years, are scattered all over these hills. The bodies of about two thousand are buried in the soil of Antrim. And what are we, that we should much longer tarry? And do we want a better hope to die by than that which lighted those noble fathers and mothers down the valley of death ? Do you cherish the same hope ? Have you sought the same Saviour? Our years here are but as a nights' encampment in a journey. We shall soon be gone. Others will speak and listen within these hallowed walls. Others here will march down silently to the valley after us. Soon grey old pilgrims will tell their grandchildren they can just remember you and me. And then soon after, we shall have passed out of all the re- collections of earth. God grant that when we shall be forgotten here, we may have place with immortal and happy ones that have passed on the before !
