creasing population in that portion of
the city, it would be advisable to or
ganize a church for the many Congre-
gationalists who were obliged to go a
long distance to the church of their
choice or were attending churches of
other denominations instead.
The first meeting of this new church
was held on tire afternoon of June 2,
1872, in the Main Street Baptist
Church Immediately after DIR. Gould
was engaged as the acting pastor of
urged to become the regularly installed
pastor of the church, he felt that he
must decline in view of his poor
health He made the address at the
laying of the cornerstone of the new
church in August, 1873, and in April
1874, the first services were held in the
completed chapel.
During the five years of his cOnnec-
ton with the church 307 members We're
added and there were 81 Withdrawals,
leaving a total of 1857 members at the
close Of his pastorate, including the
charter members
He was succeeded in the passionate by
Rev. DR.. D. o. Mears, who accepted
the call of the church in June, 1877,
DR.. Gould delivering the installing
prayer July 8. 1917. Later in June;
1893, he delivered the address to the
people at the installation of Rev. DR..
Horr as pastor of Piedmont Church.
Afterwards, upon the retirement of
Rev DR.. Cutler, DR.. Gould preached for
2b years at Union Church, and it was
during this period that Union Church
erected it's new edifice on Front street
While at Piedmont Church, DR. Gould
was invited to the pulpit at Amherst
College as college preacher, and in

connection Herewith to the chair of
biblical history. About the same time,
too, overtures were made to him by
the Third Church of New Haven, Ct,
for a service of one sermon per Sun
day for one year at a salary of $4,000.
Both of these offers were declined.
During the last few years of his life.
DR.. Gould has continued to preach fire.
quently, but owing to the necessities
of his health, almost entirely within
the near vicinity of his home.
DIR. Gould was a man of high ideals
and an eloquent, stirring preacher. His
sermons were uniformly acceptable
wherever delivered. His style was
highly polished and his diction gifted
with a natural, spontaneous elegance
His views would be considered con-
servative in these days. He did not
take up new ideas in theology careless
ly and yet was progressive enough to
adopt such views as had been thor
oughly sifted and not found wanting.
He was a thorough student and was
well posted on whatever was going on
in the world. Never having become
the settled pastor of any church but
once he did not do much pastoral
work. In fact, he did not consider that
+ he was called to do it and felt that he
had no more than strength enough to
enable him to prepare for his Sunday
| sermon. Socially he was a very pleas
ant man, most entertaining in CONVEX
sation.
DR.. Gould received the honorary de-
gree of doctor of divinity from Amherst
college, his alma mater, in 1870.
John B. Cough, who, when at home,
was Dr. Goulds parishioner at Pied
mont church for five years pays the
following tribute to him in his autobi-
Ography: In 1856 first met Rev. Geo.
H. Gould. d. D., and was fascinated
1 by his preaching. He is emotional
with no sensationalism. He speaks
with an earnestness that convinces you
