dens, seeking loyally to bear their witness to the faith they loved and carry on their worship and service.
As one reflects on the story of the past of our parish one is reminded he words of the Psalmist: "The lot is fallen unto me in a fair ground; I have a goodly heritage."
No more difficult days in church or state are on record than that od of reconstruction after the war of the Revolution. We cannot against what suspicion and hostility our spiritual fathers, many of m bred of Loyalist stock, struggled on to preserve the Anglican h, and to keep the sparks of life in the then infant parish from 1g out.
"May they rest in peace; and may light perpetual shine upon them." We, too, in this day, have a heritage not simply to boast of, but to serve.
We are living in days of glorious opportunity, opportunity to show faith in God, even when foes threaten and alarm. May we, with eyes on the Cross, never falter!
"God's truth abideth still His Kingdom is forever."

Arlington 15, Jany 1803 Meeting opened according to adjournment Meeting adjourned to Monday in Feby 1803 at 5 o'clock at the School House near the urch.
LUTHER STONE, Clerk.
The records of these Minutes show that there was a gradual ad- ce during these years from 1784 to 1794 toward systematic or- ization. The name "Society" was changed to Vestry.
After the coming of the Rev. Russell Catlin the Vestry was anized by the election of two Wardens, though there was no cification as now in this parish of Senior and Junior Warden.
The minutes explicitly state that it was voted "that we would ld a church by our lists." This shows that at this time the perfjority of the people in the town were Episcopalians. Whether or the Town Meeting had been established there is no record to show, ; there must have been some such meetings as the mention of "lists" :and lists) indicate.
E The Rev. James Nichols who was elected to take charge of the achurch in 1784, is spoken of by the Rev. Mr. Wadleigh in his his- y as a "man of more than ordinary parts," who was not only a ymest in Arlington, but also at various times doing missionary work at Trendgate and Weathersfield.
