The Baptist church in Sedgwick, where
the association met this year, is one Of the old
est churches in Maine and has an interesting
history. 1t was organized in 1893 as a Congre-
gational church, of the true type Of the stand
ing order. Its first pastor was Rev. Daniel
Merrill. Soon the church became one of the
leading churches in Maine. In few years u
certain Nr. Alen became dissatisfied over the
question of the sprinkling of infants. In a
short time Dea Herrick in the church was
similarly troubled. Parson Merrill labored
with these men seriously. In studying TO re-
flute them he " rs led to truth they saw
it. Accordingly in 1905, May IA. DR.. Baldwin
Of Boston. and Rev. MIR. Williams OF Beverly,
baptized Mr.. Merrill and siXty-fve Others Of
his church. The next day nineteen others
were baptized and III three months sixty more.
On this 18th of May, 1905, the church was re-
cognZed Baptist church BY council, and
Rev. Daniel Merrill was set apart AS its pastor.
Here now is a strong church. with Rev. +. A..
Davis, an able and energetic young pastor.
