Mother Church. in South
Norwaik. last Night—-
Addresses by Rev. Mr.
Duncan. Presiding Elder
Montgomery and I. I.
Raymond
The first animal roll call of the
"Mother of Norwalk Methodism" Wit
ohelri in the South Norwalk Methodist
Church. last evening. the gathering be-
ing presided over by Rev. W. W. T.
Duncan. Addresses were made by a
number of those present. and a fine
musical program was rendered. The
occasion was made the more pleasant
by the presence of Presiding Elder
James Montgomery, I). D.. of Stamford.
and the evening was finished with a
delightful luncheon and a social good
time.
The meeting opened about 8 o'clock.
with a selection by the Y. M. C. A. Or-
chestra. A prayer was then made by
John Greenwood. and a brief address
by Thomas I. Raymond. who spoke
very easily and pleasantly about the
gathering. The church was well till-
ed with people.
Rev. Mr. Duncan announced that the
roll would be called in several sections.
between which would be musical num-
bers. and Mrs. Frances Heath-Eaton
sang "Ave Maria." by liana. This was
it very pleasing solo. Mrs. Eaton being
in excellent voice and singing the piece
fan tlessly.
1'. Duncan said in his address that
the South Norwalk Methodist Church
was the first. Methodist Church estab-
lished in The Norwslks. and that a
close search of the records failed to re-
veal the fact that there had ever been
a call of the roll prior to last evening.
He said further:
“The oldest round of the church
dates frdm I836 to 1844. Tile total
number of names on that record Is 278.
Of all those names only three now ap-
pear on our present record. They are
Mrs. Mary B. Raymond. William S.
Atherton and Mrs. .lulla Rogers
From this, Word we titer these
facts: South nrwnlk was full includ.
ed in l-‘nirfield Circuit. There was a
small class at llurlen. then called Mid-
dlesex. and a small one here. which was
declining. Absolom Day «same here
from New York. where he had been
converted. He joined the class. was
made leader. and a revival came. the
result of which was that the, members
at Darlen joined the class here. and
preaching was had In Day's house. As
no fruit appeared. the plan was to give
up in Him. The revival came.‘ The
first church was built in 1816.
"From this record we take the fol-
lowing: ‘Tlie Methodists were at this
time trodden upon and despised. and
many Were their adversaries. but chief-
ly those who had a name to live but
were dead. Their doctrines were mis-
represented, their characters slander
ed. and their meetings in the evenings
reported to hp a rinlll‘i't' 0" abomination.
Such were the bigotry and prejudice of
the Presbyterinns. who at that time
had control of all public property. that
no school house was suffered to be
opened for the Methodists.‘

bers of the children of “The Mother

total is found by adding the member-

278 Methodsts who were on the roll in.

on the roll who have been members of
