'rIIE cuuncu CELEBRATION 1N STAMFORD.

The Stamford Baptist church celebrated
its one hundrelh anniversary on Thursday.
Meetings were lteld morning, afternoon and
evening, which Were largely attended, there
being many ministers and laymen from
abroad. - The house was appropriately dee-
orated with monoes and flowers. In tlte
morning the Rev. Dr. Lathrop, ”10 P515101“.
gave along interesting historical address.
The total number ot members on the roll of
the church 1‘.- 918. Six hundred and fi ty—
nine of the above were baptised in Stamford
and two hundred and titty-nine were receiv-
ed from other churches. The number of
present members is two hundred and thirty-
four. After tlte address a collation was pa}-
taken of in the Sabbath school room. In
tltc afternoon Dr. ththrop rrad letters
from ex pastors. and called upon the vener-
able Dr. Greenleaf S. Webb, of New Brunt-
wick, N. J., to make an address. The doc-
tor spoke in a most interesting vein of the

' church as he ministered to it in 1817-21. In
the course of his remarks the speaker drew
a picture of a week’s workin olden time.
Living four or five tnilesfr'om the meeting
house, he was obliged to Walk every Sunday
to that barn-like edifice near a... mill-pond.
Its beams and rafters. were all exposed,
There were no stoves excepting a few foot-
stoves, which a negro outside would put a
few live coals in to put to the feet oft ve wo-
men. The audience would be composed of
front twenty-five to thirty persons, most of
whom had walked from one to four miles.
After the sermon, instead of returning, as we
now do, from'the church, the people would
pull out from their pockets their cake and
cheese and discuss the provender and the
sermon together for an hour, The minister
would then re-enter the pulpit and preach
another sermon Ofan hour and a half’to two
hours in length. after which the audience
would retire, and the minister generally had
another walk before hitn, attd another ser-
mon to preach elsewhere. On Mondav
morning and throughout 'the week Mr. Webb
would resume his secular occupation on the
shoe‘maker’s benclt, and thus attend to the

hysical, its well as .the moral "understand-
ngs” of his parishioners. Matty a time had
he walked from Stamford to his home tn
Horse Neck, with a roll of leather on his
shoulder. His salary as minister was $100

’ for the first year, ‘70 for the second, and
$30 for the third. '1 he fourth year he got
nothing. his parishioners either supposing he
was getting rich or his sermons were getting
poor, However, after line he get $100 per
year. ‘ >
. Mr. H. M. Prowitt, of Norwalk.’ being
happily introduced by Dr. Lathrop, read'nn
excellent original poem in blank verse,
which was a capital epitome of the church‘s,

hi story.

 

 

 

He feels it a privilege as well as his duty

To read psalms and hymns ot exquisite ‘
beauty. -

He rises, and then with devotion profound

He. looks to the ceiling, and glances‘sround,

His accents are measured, sure none could

' dispute

His devotional tnind or his feelings acute.

Deprive him of reading, his comfort is gone,

His heart is dismayed and his spirits cast

‘ down. .

True Christian was he, and his heart in the
work ;

A preacher in time, instead of the clerk.

’thIs the custom in those days for the men
to sing air,

While the part which tnen now sing was
'sung by the fair.

So the clerk sings soprano, with light squeak-
ing voice,

While the minister carried the base out of
choice. .

Tlte tunes were :tll fugue, one part after the
Other,

The sisters sing sometimes. then follow the
brothers;

The time strikes up lively, they sing itt fine
taste.

Though we find, in such titnes,
speed the less haste.

Now list to the air, with its kitten like mew,

Then follows the base,- the big dogs are in
new; - -

Hark! in come the sisters, with voice loud
and shrill,

For they are in earnest, and sing with a

 

 

the more

will.
With regatd to the preacher, they want
gospel 'uth,

No matter ho plain, if its even uncouth.
But they want him topreuch with his heart
full of love,‘ '
And fed with the manna. by angels above.
They wish that the ladder which Jacob
once saw, 0

And from which ltc so much sonsolation
did draw,

Had remained,—their minister then tnigh’
ascend »

And the rest of the week in Paradise spend

’l‘he'n, on Sabbtth, all glowing with real
and with love, ,.

Descsnd to his flock from the regions above.

At evening, again they would bid him
arise

To gain all his food and his rest iii the skies.

‘l‘hey thinkt’twould be wrong, Who would
dare he so rash . .

As encourage a brother to much here for
cash. '

Paul boasted he had worked hard with ’his’

hands.

And on. his hearers made little demands.

Yet, it searching the records, you‘ll find it

Because ttfits endow trees, drooping and
green—
A finer loc ttion, not often is se'en.
On this lot stood a house, about two stories
hlgll, O .
And raised the foundation, to keep it all dry,
It stood with the gable end towitrd the gate,
Here were four little windows, with glass
six by eight.
Two windows above, and two windows
below,
Is all of this west side tha
know.
On the south were four also, ’tween each
two a door.
With fivebnilt above, for uppermost flo r.
Standing back in this lot, all eucloied Irv

It appears like a dwelling house, with a
large ball,
But how do they beat it~with wo 0d, coal,

No chimney is thereto let out the smoke.
Turn your eyes to the windows as onward
you pass ,
See, the stove pipe protruding from one of
the glass.
In the front Of this lot stands a group of
-. - large trees _
With hooks, where they fasten such teams
' as they please.
~Some horses are here, half a dozen or more,
Let's go in—it is public - let’s go to the door.
Hark! what is that sound so shrill and so
ringing ?
Its a church—I declare—and the people are
singing. ‘
We will enter at once without any restraint.
For outside and inside are free from all
paint. , 9
It’s no church—'tis a meeting hou se—
’twould be a sin
To call that a church which
ships in. .
The people, in those days, called thtngs by
right names, .
Puritauical folks were free from such status.
From the door to the pulpit, six pews on
each side,
Three slips on each end.and two square
ones beside.
No lathiag. or plaster was put on these
Walls, ~' ' '
Conspicuous appeared the rafters o‘er all.
This house where the people assembled to
learn
The great Bible truths—some called it a
barn. '
A little round pulpit built on a. small post,
And sounding board over, no words could
— be lost, .
From this hogshead the Preacher could
. speak from the bung,
Provided, he spoke not in some unknown
tengue. _ _
In front of this pulpit a box stands to view,
It is meant to hold one, but can squeeze in

With a slab in the rear from some neighbor-

Into which legs ‘are driven to make it a seat

For those who in winter require extra heat.

The stove pipe run through from the east to
the West,

With a plug to put. in eitherend as was best.

This was done,~you perceive, lest. people
should choke, -

Should the wind blow wrong Way and cause
