NEW MILFORD.

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
The first settler of the town of New
Milford was John Noble, who came from
Westfleld, Mass, and located here in 1907.
By I'LL the settlement had increased to
II families, composed of about 20 persons,
who petitioned the General Court to aid
them in providing for public worship.
But the First Church of Christ" was
not organized till November 81, 17l6,
when, with eight female and five male
members, it was recognized as church
by the council that on the same day or
dained the Rev Daniel Boardman pastor
of the church. Until 1850 there was no
Ecclesiastical Society,-the Town and
the Society were practically the same
thing. All the financial and business
affairs of the church were discussed and
decided in town meeting. There was no
separate action of the church in calling
its pastors until the Invitation was ex-
tended to Mr. Griswold, in 1890. At the
me of the ordination of Mr. Boardman
the entire population of the town was
only l25 persons. These people held

the roll of membership been as large as
at present. In 1888 37I members were
reported, and In 1861 476 members; and
in these instances, perhaps, there had not
been as careful revision of the roll as
at the present time. Ii is impossible to
give the total amount contributed for
benevolent purposes. Bat from 1859 to
1889 the church is reT tied to have given
81, 072 for beneH oIence, including 81 ,033
in legacies. But this is only 80 years
out of history of 175 years. The total
amount must be very large, as the record
of the church, in this respect, has gener-
ally been commendable. Such is but q
brief sketch Of the interesting history of
this old church, which was founded dur
ing the reign of George the First, and
whose congregation owed allegiance to
the throne of England during the first
60 years of its history. 1t has always
been one Of the la gest and strongest
churches in Western Connecticut. AS
God has richly favored it in the past, so
we pray that His blessing, in even larger
measure, may crown its future; and that
godly people may be raised up through
it's Influence who shall NOT only love and
serve the Lord in their home-field, but
shall aid in carrying the influence of the
Gosl ell to the uttermost parts of the
earth.

scribed as probably built of logs, one
story high, and had but one window, and
was not very commOdious nor an orna-
mental place of Worship The first vote
to build regular meeting house was
passed in 1915, and then so many Difficult,
ties were encountered, and 80 limited
we're the resources of the people, that
the building does not seem to have been
completely finished and furnished till
although It was probably occupied
for worship in its unfinished condition as
early as 1920, This building stood on
Town Hill, near the present residcnce OF
Levi S. Knapp. In 1854 a new and more
commodious meeting house was erected
upon the village Green, nearly opposite
the present residence of Henry E. BOst-
wick. This building was used as house
of worship for 70 years, during the pas
Eorates Of the Reyerends Taylor, Girls
void, and Elliot. During the passionate
of the Rev Mr. Rood, in 1888, the present
edifice was erected. In 1860 the building
was completely ovated,-furnaces
and the present organ, being added to its
equipment. This edifice ia typical New
England Westinghouse, around which
many sacred associations cluster. With
the additions and improvements now
completed it may still be used for many
years as a house consecrated to the wor-
ship of Almighty God. In 1861 the horse
sheds now in use were erected. In
1889 the chapel was built, and in 1870
the parsonage was purchased by SUD-
scription and presented to the society.
During the 175 years. history of this
church 1t has been served by 10 settled
pastors, and by several ministers who
have acted as pastors for limited periods.
These ministers have generally been
strong men of marked ability, whose
reputation and influence have far tran
scended the Bounds of this parish, or
even this State. Most of them now ''rest
from their labors," but their works do
follow them. Twenty-Five persons have
aided the ministry in the service of the
church as deacons, including Roger Sber-
man, the eminent statesman, and one of
the Signers OF the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Twenty-Five men from this
church have entered the Christian minis.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Dec.
1.-THE past week in San Juan has
shown certain developments in the gen.
eral situation of the island, and drift
ing straws have been seen which indi-
cate the current of a growing discon-
tent. There has been much trouble all
over the island since the American Gov
ernment assumed military protector
ate concerning the appointments of
Mayors and Councilmen to the different
municipalities, Of which there are in
all seventy-two. Men so appointed, and
those already in office, have been re-
signing and squabbling among them
selves and expressing their displeasure
at the appointment of some colleague.
The fact that General Brooke declined
to grant to the Council of Ponce the
privileges of the autonomist Constitu-
tion, which they We're arrogating to
tho mselves, is what rankles and is ever
present in the minds of the defeated
Autonomists. The accordance of this
privilege would have been for them a
great victory.
The best judgment here sustains Gen
eral Brooke in this action. If the priv
ilege was granted to one Council it
would have to be granted to all, and
each one Of Porto Rico's seventy-two
municipalities, acting with the power
and%latitude contemplated by the Au-
tonomist platform, would have brought
much confusion to the island.
The Autonomist party set up a pro-
longed howl Of discomfort, in which
among other things, they declared that
