Rev. J. Morse officiated as stated supply from 1846 to 1850, practicing as a physician as well as preacher. Rev. Andrew Rankin from 1850, one year ; Rev. John Wooster from 1853 half the time, one year ; from 1851 to 1853 des- titute ; 1855, Rev. E. F. Abbott preached nine weeks. - Messrs. Rankin, Wooster and Abbott were aided by the New Hampshire Missionary Society. The average amount raised by the church and society for the support of the gospel annually, when they had preachers, was about $ 160, the larger portion of which came from the members of the church, most of whom contributed liberally in proportion to their means ; and they are still willing and desirous so to do, provided they can obtain from the Great Shepherd of the flock an under shepherd to go in and out before them and lead into the green pastures and beside the still waters. The importance of sustaining the ordinances of the gospel in this place is apparent, from the fact, that this church is conve- niently situated in a central portion of a population of some 600 or 800 inhabitants, having no other organized church of any denomination, and but very little preaching of any description.

COOS COUNTY.


WHITEFIELD.


Granted in 1774, it was soon after settled but was slow in the increase of its population-in 1810 there were only 51 inhabitants-in 1850 there were 857. In 1826 there was a church here of six members. Two years afterwards it rose to 18 members ; the next year to 22. In 1830, Rev. Wm. Hutchinson began to labor here, and continued about five years. Twenty eight were added to the church under his labors. He was a man of deep and ardent piety-truly a man of God. In 1839, Rev. Horace Wood gave a portion of his time to this field, and continued to do so for about six years. Some souls were converted and 17 were added to the church. In 1846-7, Rev. J. Marsh was here; the church numbered 25, and 70 pupils in Sabbath School .- The number is now much reduced. O, how these destitute places need the labors of such men as have been blest of God in them in years past. Lord, how long ? Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth.


OTHER TOWNS.


The following three towns have each less than 100 inhab- itants-Cambridge, Dixville and Millsfield ; the following less than 200-Berlin, Clarksville, Dummer, Errol and Randolph. In none of these eight towns is there any church unless Clarksville and Dummer be excepted, where a church of 66 Freewill Baptists are found. In the county there are about 90 Baptist members in Carroll, Jefferson, and Strat- ford ; about 400 or 500 Methodists in Berlin, Columbia, Dalton, Lancaster, Milan, Pittsburgh (formerly Indian Stream,) Stratford, Stewartstown and Whitefield. About 200 members of Congregational churches are now found in the county. Two towns, Kilkenny and Success have actu- ally become extinct, upon the same principle that our church- es become so much weakened and some of them extinct- the men who might build the waste places are attracted by more inviting fields, both moral and agricultural, somewhere else ; but they are somewhere and at work too.


PROGRESS.


In 1800, members of Congregational churches in the State were as 1 to 30 of the popu- lation ; in 1850 as 1 to 17: Including other denominations, in 1800 evangelical Christians were not more than 1 to 23; in 1850 they were more than 1 to 8 of the whole population. Let his people thank God and take courage.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF REV. DAVID SUTHERLAND.


At the age of 17, in 1794, I found myself in Edinburgh, the city of my nativity, an apprentice to the printing busi- ness, without father or mother, sister or brother, uncle or aunt, without a dollar in the world, on which to rely, except a pittance of board wages. I date my conversion one year previously to that period. Two years afterwards, the Sab- bath School system commenced its operations in Scotland, and I entered earnestly into its service. I made full prepar- ation to instruct my school, of which I was the sole mana- ger ; with which I was so delighted, that I formed the pur- pose, God willing, that I should prepare for the ministry, and entered myself as a pupil in a Latin evening school .- It was about the time that the famous Robert and James Haldane (whose memoirs have been recently re-published in this country) began to excite a deep religious interest in Scotland ; and, just as my apprenticeship expired, I was admitted as a student in the seminary which the elder of these brothers instituted for training young men for the ministry. The students had a quarterly allowance of money which furnished us with all the comforts of life ; classics and access to a full library were gratuitous. I commenced my ministerial life on the first Sabbath of the present century, and in the third year afterwards crossed the Atlantic. My first Sabbath in Bath was the third in the year 1804; and my installation was in the following year. I had been ordained as an evangelist in view of my coming to America. I have supposed that the population of the town, at that time, was about 1000. My call from the church, (then consisting of 30 members) was unanimous. And I understood only five voted against me in the town meeting called for the purpose. The only objection that ever reached me, was made by an excommunicated member of the church, who urged that I was a foreigner. A shrewd German, who had become nat- uralized, asked the objector, whether his great grandfather was a native. He affirmed that he was; "then," said the German, "he must have been an Indian !"

MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES.


From report and observation, I have reason to suppose that previously to the erection of a Meeting-house, and the settlement of a permanent ministry, the inhabitants of the town of Bath might be considered as belonging to the "rough and tumble" class of society ; but there was a consid- erable mingling of the "law and order" people. These had influence enough to set about erecting a capacious place of worship, in the center of the town, and inviting a minister to occupy it; in both which objects they succeeded. That the change effected by these means was great, has been fre- quently mentioned to me by people of other towns, deputy sheriffs particularly, whose vocations called them to the place, before and after these occurrences. Dr. Dwight, in his Travels in New England, notices it in his second visit, and attributes the change "to the labors of a young Scotch minister who has been recently settled." Be this as it may, the large bulk of the inhabitants, who had hitherto no bond of union, began immediately to crowd into the new Meet- ing-house, long before the joiners had finished the interior, and continued to do so, upwards of twenty years, till indeed, a dissatisfaction began to be entertained respecting the loca- tion of the house of worship. In the year 1835, a division took place, and my connection with the town was dissolved.


During the first seven years of my pastoral life, I was sorely grieved with the prevalent use of intoxicating drinks. I could enter no house without encountering the rum bottle, or an apology for its absence. Intemperance was the bane, not only of the church of which I was pastor, but of all churches within my knowledge. Church members would drink, and sometimes to such excess, as to be subjects of discipline; and prominent members of my congregation, I saw to be in the path that led to the drunkard's grave .- I preached with great plainness and earnestness on the sub- ject of intemperance. But the evil still continued. It occurred to me, at last, that total abstinence could be the only check ; for just as long as temperate drinking continued, intemperate drinking would. I immediately adopted the total abstinence principle, although, for aught I knew, I was alone, in creation, in adopting the principle. But I did adopt it, and not only published in my own congregation, but in every congregation to which I had access, that I would nev- er offer a drop of strong drink to any man, nor accept it from any man. And my resolution became so extensively known, that, except in one instance, I have not been asked to drink any intoxicating liquor, these forty two years! I do rejoice that the use of strong liquors is banished from the

churches (of my own denomination certainly,) so that a single case of discipline, on this. score, has not occurred for twenty or thirty years. During the reign of Alcohol, we had some cases of hopeless excommunication. One of these was peculiarly affecting, and as it demonstrates the ten- dency to sin, of a very popular error, I will state it. A man whom I found in the church, was a substantial farmer of good standing and property. After the lapse of some time, it was found he was getting into bad habits. He was seen too often in the bar-room, and his voice was heard loudly among the vain ones-yes, among the scorners. A deacon of the church took occasion to mention to this man, his fears that all was not right. He turned on the good deacon in wrath-angrily declaring that "he had been long enough in the leading strings of a pharisaical church." The church took its course, and he took his. The poor man proceeded from bad to worse, till he ended his days in the alms-house, indulging in the language of profanity and passion to the last. On one occasion I met the wretched man at a wed- ding. Half intoxicated, in the presence of the company, he challenged me to debate on the subject of Universalism .- On my declining, he threw himself into a violent passion, and became so intolerably abusive, that it was necessary to use force, to remove him. And this, alas, was a man into whose hand I had often put the cup of blessing ! Lord what is man !


I was settled in the town of Bath on a salary of $ 400, which was regularly assessed by the selectmen. How much I received of the nominal sum I never knew. I gave direction to the collectors to take nothing on my account, . from such as were unable or unwilling to pay a tax, and in some cases I actually re-funded to those who paid grudging- ly-and this left a large margin for the cancelling process at my settlement with the collectors. Indeed, were it not for the generosity of kind friends in town and out of town, I must have sunk in bankruptcy. But my principle on this point, has left me the enjoyment of an easy conscience. My heavenly Father gave me a prudent, healthy, diligent, self- denying wife, who, by the aid of some property she inher- ited, greatly helped us along through life. That beloved partner, equaled by few, excelled by none, was called sud- denly away, years ago, to her heavenly state as a shock of corn fully ripe.


Marriage fees helped considerably. My last number was 427. In early times, (and indeed in some instances to this day,) bridegrooms did not value their brides above the soli-

tary dollar, although there have been some generous excep- tions. I have been asked sometimes, if ever I got half a bushel of beans, as a marriage fee ? The report is true. And in another case still worse than that on the occasion referred to, I had a journey of some twenty miles to perform. It was so long ago as when half dollar bills were issued by the banks. My fee consisted of two of these bills-the one was a counterfeit, and the other on a bank that had ceased payment. When called out of town to preach funeral ser- mons, I have sometimes received a generous present ; but these cases, like angel visits, were "few and far between." I have been called to the interments of from 1200 to 1500 persons, a large number of these out of town, to the dis- ance of twenty, thirty and even forty miles, and, in nine- tenths of these cases, received nothing. In the case of one family, out of town and over a very rugged mountain, I have performed funeral services eleven times, for which I received twenty five cents ! I have preached twelve or fifteen dedication sermons-for some of which I have received hand- some fees-but for several not even thanks, though one of these was at the distance of sixty, another eighty miles.


The people in early times were a very plain people, dress- ing in homespun cloth. Every house had its loom and its spinning wheel, and almost every woman was a weaver .- Carding machines were just introduced, and clothiers had plenty of work. I remember the first coat I had made here cost me a dollar and a half per yard, spun and wove by one of my best friends. And I know not that I ever had a bet- ter. For many years, there was not a single wheel carriage in town. People who owned horses rode them : and those who had them not, went on foot. Husbands carried their wives behind them on pillions. Upwards of one half of the church going people went on foot. Sleighs or sleds were used in winter time-and I have seen ox sleds at a Meeting- house. For years we had no stoves in the Meeting-house of Bath, and yet in the coldest weather the house was always full. In the active periods of my ministerial life my calcu- lation was, to have three services on the Sabbath, and three in the course of the week, neighboring towns furnishing abundant scope for the exercise of my ministry. But now, the infirmities of age have put a period to my labors.


But on taking a retrospect view of my life, whilst I mourn over my own deficiencies, I rejoice in the events that have occurred during the half century in which it has been my privilege to live,-the increase of evangelical professors of religion in these United States-the number of Sabbath

Schools-the decided improvement in the preaching of the cross-the almost entire riddance of the church of intemperance-the closer union of the different evangelical denominations. When I consider all these, I rejoice in be- lieving that I am leaving the world better than I found it.


THE PASTOR'S WIFE.


This book should embody a testimony to her faithfulness, and the. dignity of her station. She stands between her husband and the world, to relieve him of worldly cares ; between him and poverty, to "mend" and "turn" and "make over" the wardrobe of the family, so that they may always appear neatly and properly clad in their public walks, often biting her lips lest they may disclose their destitution in this or that particular, and move some one to an un- willing offering ; between him and ambition, to point him to the vanity of worldly gain, and to the heavenly reward that waits for the faithful watchman ; between him and the parish, to bear the sweet words of encouragement to his sinking spirit, from lips that would, but dare not, say to him, "dear pastor, faint not-we are praying for you." Upon her comes the care of home-which she would make alike inviting to the learned and the unlearned, the grave and the gay, the poor and the rich. To nothing is she more alive than to her husband's reputation, yet for nothing must she seem less solicitous. Usually possessing a cultivated mind, she finds all her sensibilities keen and touched by every passing event. She knows that one unguarded word from her lips may paralyze, if not destroy, her husband's influ- ence. Not unfrequently the stir of a leaf in the parish to her is startling. Not unfrequently she enters an early grave because sympathy and care have consumed her. Among this class of persons in our State, there has been many a spirit kindred to that of Mrs. McFarland-a name which is a tower of strength and of glory. Silent and unostentatious, but, holding a mighty influence, in their sphere of action they move nearest those angelic ones who are "sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation." They will form a bright circle among the blest.


Were it possible to propound the inquiry to all the min- isters whose names enter these pages-What has been the most efficient aid and support of the ministry from the begin- ning ?- with one voice and with tears, in memory of the early fallen, they would say - THE PASTOR'S WIFE.
