And surely I may be allowed to mention one other whose life be- came an integral and beneficent part of the church life in all my knowl- edge of it, and who may be still, I hope, a valued part of its strength, Deacon Lane, -a man whom I surely had good opportunity to know in years of close intimacy in his business and his religion, and whose character never bore the slightest stain in my thought, who preached a better and more persuasive gospel in his pure daily life than many a tongue of eloquence has heralded.
These are the few of whom I ought most to speak as most connected with and connecting my own and the church life. Scores of others may be as valuably connected with other lives; but I may not mention more. If the future life shall renew the Christian relationships of the present, the "grand departed " of the First Church will form a glorious company.
Brethren, I envy you your privilege of this reunion of the living and remembrance of the dead. I can only wish the good old Mother Church may go on to enlarge her record and fill up the measure of her graces, so that the future power may surpass the glories of this grand story of two and a half centuries. May none of us, her sons, fail of the grace of eternal life, and thus dishonor our birthright !
From EDWARD ASHTON ROLLINS,1 descendant of members of this parish : ---
PHILADELPHIA, 25 October 1883. - I received this evening the cir cular of your committee and your personal invitation to attend the

anniversary services of your church next Sunday. The parish, you say, will especially welcome such persons as have hereditary interest in the parish of their ancestry.
My children are descended from one of the Hiltons, who settled Dover in 1623, some ten years before there was any place of public worship there, and went off to York or Newbury before 1633, when such place was built.
Ile was not an independent, but of the Church of England : so I don't really inherit much interest in your church from him. Some twenty years or so after that, Mr. James Rawlins, an ancestor of mine, living in that part of Dover which is now Newington, was authoritatively fined, with cost, taxed at two shillings and sixpence, "for neglect of coming into the public meeting," as the record has it, -that is, the place of public worship, - and that, too, notwithstanding his distance therefrom and the probable hostility of the Indians. How rapidly would the treasury of the church or county be replenished, if, in these last days in Israel, fines were imposed for such offences !
Mr. Rawlins's family may have been in peril from the Red man, or he may not have heard the drum which called the worshippers together; but, in 1665, another ancestor, Major Richard Waldron, imported from England a bell for the church ; and there is no evidence of any subse- quent non-attendance on the part of Mr. Rawlins. I ought, you see, to have, as I do have, an hereditary interest in the First Parish, and, were I not just now so farfrom Dover, I should be afraid not to be in church there next Lord's Day, lest a descendant of James Rawlins should be fined for neglect of coming into the public meeting.
My hereditary interest is further increased by William Wentworth, who, about the time of the arrival of the bell, came from Exeter, and, as one of the ruling elders, was accustomed to sit near the pulpit of the church, wearing a red cap as a badge of his high office. But all these things referred to have passed away.
Were it practicable, I should certainly attend your coming cele- bration. Two hundred and fifty years of history ! How near to the first English settlement and the first Protestant church in America they were, and what changes and what growth they include! No one can outline with approximate accuracy what the history of your community would have been without the elevating, purifying, Chris- tianizing influence of the First Parish, and no one, therefore, can measure or even estimate the good which that church has accom- plished. Eight generations have received its ministrations, have been taught by it froin their infancy, and been solaced by it in sick- ness and death. What hopes and expectations it has kindled, and,

in disappointment and sorrow, what comfort it has given! Not in Dover only and its neighborhood, and not in New Hampshire alone, have been and are its beneficiaries, but they are found here, and in New York and Washington and Chicago. Everywhere are those whose lives, directly and indirectly, have been enriched and ennobled by your good old church. The country is new and youthful still, and will grow in population and power for centuries probably. Your church outlived the colonial period of the country's history, and out- lived the Revolution. It flourished under the Protectorate of Crom- well and the constitutional monarchy of England. It lives a church without a bishop, and now in a State without a king; and I trust the form of government which the people of the two have chosen will be blessed of God for ages to come, that the prosperity and accomplish- ment of your church in the past is but an earnest of its brighter future, and that it will make yet larger contributions to the glory of God and the good of our race.
