Two notable sermons were preached by the
pastor, Rev. John Hancock, at the compile
ton of the first century of the church's ex-
istence. A century later Rev. William p.
Lunt preached two able discourses, and at
the forenoon service hymn written for the
occasion by Hon. John Quincy Adams, then
an ex-president of the United States, was
sung. Authorities differ somewhat as to
whether the present church is the third or
fourth to he occupied by the old society. 1t
can he put down as very probable that the
little stone chaple" was the original church
The date of the building of this edifice is
uncertain, but it is known to have been
standing as early as 1910. 1t had no pews,
except such as were built by individuals from
time to time. There were seats, however,
but the men sat apart from the women. The
hour for beginning service was announced by
beating drum and an hour glass stood be-
side the pastor TO warn him when his time
was up Church going in those times was a
serious matter, the services occupying the
greater part of the day. On March II, l72S
or l729, twenty shillings were voted to Joseph
Parmenter as payment for keeping dogs out
of the church on the Sabbath. March 80,
1880, the town paid the same Joseph Parmen-
ter twenty shillings for clearing cart loads
of snow from inside the church A new
wooden church was erected and dedi
Gated in 1882. In 1906 it was con-
siderably enlarged. On April 8, 1927,
ground was broken for the present edifice.
The corner stone was laid ON June H. 1927,
the principal address being made by the
pastor, Rev Mr.. Whitney. The church was
dedicated Nov. Il, 1925 Rev. MesSrs. Gray,
Brooks, Lowell, Whitney and Porter taking
part in the exercises. The church is of gran
tie, with pediment in front supported by
four massive Doric pillars. 1t contains 1855
