cldcut in the early history Of the colonization OF
New England Of so great interest and fmpor-
tance as the formation Of the first churcn on
this side OF the OCEAN. It insures the perma-
nenco and steady growth OF the infant settle

for the coming over Of Winthrop With the colony
charter q little less than year 'afterwa1d.
Twice, at least, the Salem church has honored
the memory Of the fathers By special commem-
oratiye services. In August, 1929, a century
lecture was delivered By the Rev. Samuel Fisk.
