The church was reorganizai March 16, 1816. Rev. John Warren was chosen moderator, and Samuel Butler clerk. Elder Warren was the arst settled pastor. Among the first members were R. and E. Ingalls, Luding Ingalls and wife, Lionel and Allen Sheldon and wives. From 1816 to 1819 fifteen were received into the church by bap- tism. The first ordination was that of Mr. French. The serviees were held at Deacon Ingalls' house.
From 1819 to 1522. Elders Butler, Mack, March, and Carpenter preached one-quarter of the time each. In No- vember, 1819, David Holmes was ordained deacon. Eller B. Sawin preached the sermon. During this year the old church was built, the spiritual birth-place of many precious souls.
At this time the church was strict in its discipline, as it voted to withdraw the hand of fellowship from a number for denying the resurrection and the general judgment. Onc clause was also added to the articles of faith, for at this time quite a stir was made on these subjects. In Jan- uary, 1822, Rev. Julius Beeman was elected pastor, and served the church with great acceptance until December, 1827. During the year 1522. Norman Bently was licensed to preach the gospel. In June, 1923, Orange Wright was chosen to serve as deaeon. At this time the money to de- fray the expenses of the church was raised by the system of equality, as two brethren were appointed to eolleet the tax throughout the church. We have a few years later the following :
Resolved, That each and every church member shall pay their equal proportion in the expenses of the church according to the amount of property intrusted to them.
In 1828 an invitation was extended to Walter Corcy; he was received into the church by letter. May 9, and ordained to the work of the gospel ministry Oct. 28 of the same year. Elder Weeks preached the ordination sermon, Elder Sawin offered the ordaining prayer. Elder Wright gave the charge, Elder Butler gave the hand of fellowship, Elder Sawin addressed the church. and Elder Spafford closed by prayer. All of these veterans and ministers of Christ have gone to receive their reward. The church. during the next decade, was very prosperous. Eller Walter Covey con- tinued his labors for elzis years. Eighty-four were bap- tized during his pastorate. Is 1537. Rev. D. B. Collins was settled as pastor. At this time there was a very pros- perous Sabbath-school. and afterwaris it is mentioned as an element of great power and prosperity to the church. In 1838 the records mention a glorious revival. They say,

" Backsliders have been reelaimed, sinners converted, and the church enlarged." Fifty-two were received this year by baptism, the largest number in one year during its entire history. Elder Collins preached in the east and west parts of the township, and the great Master blessed his labors abundantly. A committee was appointed to buy half of the Methodist church in West Worcester (the other half was already owned by the Baptist) ; the purchase was finally made. This year Isane Pierce and Joseph Hartwell were chosen deaeons, and J. W. Starkweather was licensed to preach, and entered Hamilton theological seminary.
In 1841 the church secured the serviees of Rev. Walter Covey. This was the second pastorate. The gospel was faithfully preached, the members were diligent, prayerful, and united, and in 1842 a glorious revival followed, -- twenty-two were added by baptism. The records say, "God has visited us in great merey, and to his great name be all the glory." Elder Covey's two pastorates covered a period of eighteen years.
In 1850 there was no pastor, but prayer-meetings were sustained. Rev. L. E. Spafford preached for the church in 1851. This was a very barren time,-its number was reduced to fifty-two. Rev. E. Spafford succeeded his father in July of 1851, and continued until 1856, during which time the church enjoyed the presence of the Saviour, union and prosperity. The church was very much strengthened during Elder Spafford's ministry. In January, 1851, a committee was appointed to consider the propriety of re- moving the old church or building a new one. The com- mittee finally decided not to remove the old one, but to build a new one in the village of East Worcester. In 1855-56 the present church edifice was built at a cost of about $3000. It was dedicated March 5, 1856. Rev. N. Wright preached on the occasion from the words, "And they set the ark of God upon a new cart." 2 Sam. vi. 3.
Rev. F. Jones was pastor of the church from 1856 to 1859. During this time God did not forget his people, for by the faithful preaching of the word sinners were brought to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus. Revs. R. Collins, L. E. Spafford, L. J. Lincoln, and F. Jones sue- ceeded each other, remaining a year cach.
In 1863, Rev. J. B. Pixley commenced his labors as pastor, and remained five years. During this time the house of worship was painted, papered, etc. The church grew strong in the principles of Bible truth, and was estab- lished in the faith once delivered to the saints. The resources of the church were also developed.
.
Rev. C. C. Bourn was next pastor for about two years. In 1869 his labors were greatly blessed by a precious re- vival on West Hill, and many valuable additions were made to the church at this time. Rev. J. Jones was the next pastor. The church continued to prosper during his ad- ministration. In 1873, Levi Rury was licensed to preach the gospel. The same year we have this record : " We mourn the death of a former pastor, Rev. C. C. Bourn, who was at the time of his death a member of our church." Brother Bourn was a hard-working servant of Christ. He now rests from his labors.
In 1874, Rev. W. MeNeil became pastor of the church, and remained two years. God crowned his efforts with
success, and souls were brought to Jesus and united to his people.
Oct. 1, 1876, Rev. J. Evans received a unanimous invita- tion from the church and entered upon his labors.
This church is the oldest in the Worcester association, and is the spiritual mother of the following churches : Cross Hill (now Richmondville and Fulton), Summit, Westford, Middlefield, Richmondville, Seward Valley, Maryland, and the Second Baptist church of Woreester.
THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF WORCESTER
was organized on May 10, 1792, by Rev. Uriah Bigelow, with the following-named members, viz., Uriah Bigelow, Joseph Flint, Benjamin Taintor, Elijah Houghton, Simeon Chester, and Caleb Boynton. The wives of some of the above were also among the first members. The first church edifice was ereeted in 1822, religious services having been previously held in dwellings and school-houses. In 1860 the church was rebuilt, remodeled, and beautified, at an expense of $1500. Its dimensions are 40 by 60 feet. The present officers are as follows : Isaae Shelland, John Fer- guson, Hamilton Waterman, and William J. Sloan, deacons. The church is prosperous, has a membership of one hun- dred and fourteen, and is under the care of Rev. John M. Chase, the first regularly-installed pastor.
METHODIST CHURCH OF WORCESTER.
This church was organized in 1836 by the Rev. A. E. Daniels, who officiated as the first pastor, and was suc- ceeded by Martin Marvin. The society was without a church edifice until 1840, when a neat and substantial building was ereeted. The present edifice was erected in 1871, at a cost of $3500. The church is now in a pros- perous condition.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH WORCESTER.
This church was organized by Rev. C. W. Lyon, with twenty-six members. The house of worship was ereeted in 1868, at a cost of $2500.
METHODIST CHURCHI, EAST WORCESTER.
The first Methodist society in East Worcester was formed about the years 1823 or 1824. Mrs. Elizabeth Champion. wife of John Champion, being a firm believer in the doc- trines and principles advocated by the Methodists, and no meetings ever yet having been held in that locality by the Methodists, she feeling the necessity of some church organ- ization with which she eould worship, gave notice that there would be a Methodist meeting at the school-house, near the Corners, on a certain Sabbath evening. She sent word to a local preacher named Depew, at Elliott Hill. to come and preach to them. The time arrived ; no preacher came. The house was well filled with eager listeners to hear a Methodist preacher. They were like to be disappointed. when Mrs. Champion arose, and, in as concise a manner as she could, explained the principles and doctrines of the Methodist religion. She thus talked and prayed with them, and at the close of the meeting asked if there were any others who were were willing to join with her in ho'ding prayer-meetings, ete. She found two others, who.

with her, agreed to hold meetings, and they thus banded themselves together as a elass. Another meeting was ap- pointed, at which Elder Depew attended, and preached an old-fashioned Methodist sermon. Other meetings were held, and preaching was done alternately by Elder Depew and Jeremiah Simmons. A series of meetings were held, and during the winter of 1824, and before the winter was over, names were not wanting. A goodly number eame forward and joined the class. The next year this elass was placed within the bounds of the eircuit, and ever after they had eireuit preaching, nntil in later years they built a fine church edifice in which meetings are yet held.
The land for the East Worcester Methodist Episcopal church, located on the road to Sonth Ilill, in rear of the brick store, was donated to the society by Leonard Caryl, who subscribed liberally toward its erection ; and to Mr. Caryl, and Aaron and James A. Champion, the building of the church edifice is chiefly due. It was ereeted previous to 1839. " It was a heavy tax," says S. B. Champion, " on a few persons, and when the committee were soliciting con- tributions, they called on John Champion, the 'hotel preacher' as he was extensively known, for aid. He promised to pay a certain amount if they would grant him the privilege of preaching the first sermon in it after its completion. This was readily agreed to. At the dedica- tion, when the preliminaries had taken place and all were ready for the sermon by the presiding elder, Unele John left his seat and started for the pulpit. All eyes were turned on the old gray-haired veteran, and those in the pulpit seented to hesitate, not knowing what was going to oceur. Many of the auditors knew what was coming. One of the sons attempted to persuade him to relinquish his plan, as it might disturb the proceedings. He pushed the son aside, with the remark that he knew what he was about to do. On reaching the altar, he addressed the ministers, and related, in a clear voice, the contraet made, and said that lie was ready to fulfill the last of the bargain on his part. The ministers stood aside, the old gentleman took his text, and for twenty or thirty minutes addressed the crowded house in a manner never before nor since known. It almost seemed as if St. John, the apostle, was speaking in his own flesh and blood. He concluded by trusting that those who were to occupy the saered desk would preach only from the Holy Bible before him, with love to all, laying aside all bigotry, superstition, intolerance, or fanaticism, to the end that all might become better, and prepared to occupy another temple not made with hands. Also thanked all concerned, walked back to his seat, and the dedication exercises proceeded." The church edifice was enlarged in 1866, and rededieated by Rev. II. Robin- son, assisted by Rev. Win. Bixley.
ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH (CATHOLIC).
This church was organized April 10, 1874, and the following chosen trustees : James McMullen, Michael C. Mooney, and Michael Boyling. The church edifice was erected in 1875, at a cost of $1900.

Previous to this purchase services were held in the " Old Academy building" at Tusealon, a settlement about one mile west of Worcester village. In 1876 this old building was superseded by the present edifice, which was erected at a eost of about $5000. It is 40 by 70 feet, and has a seating capacity of 400. It was dedicated by J. E. Chesshire, D.D., of Montrose, Pa.
