held, pending the completion of the house
of worship. On the 14th of January,
1852, something like 1000 people met for
the service of dedication and installation
Sumner G. Clapp of Chicopee, Mass,
had been called as pastor, and his class
mate at Yale, DR.. Todd of Pitts6eld, was
here as preacher Of the day, one OF the
most original and forceful preachers of
New England. remember the text, At
evening time it shall be light" but
whether light that day was brighter on
the problem of the South church can
not say. Next Sunday the congregation
was BY no means thousand. The aver
age indeed was less than 100 during the
four years of Mr.. Clapp's ministry.
Strangers very naturally took to the
larger congregation, and the sanguine
predictions of rapid growth for the new
church soon evaporated. Composed
about with an amplitude OF unoccup1ed
seats, in place which lacked the hallow-
ing atmosphere of long association, and
without any touch of esprit de corps it is
not to be wondered at that some Sunday
inconsistencies crept in to the new South
church. Aud yet, so manifestly was this
enterprise a providential necessity, that
the church braced itself to meet its duties
and to hope for cheerler days. Almost
Immediately a meeting was called to
arrange some plan for benevolent contri-
buttons; when the question was raised
of uniting with the mother church for
monthly missionary concerts, it was
voted to have separate meetings on the
ground that more would prob IDLY take
some part, or at least become interested
in the support OF missions. Large maps
of mission fields were got which adorned
the white walls of the prayer meeting
room for many years. This room, the
only one 6nir he'd iu the basement, was
where the kitchen now is, entrance be
ing down the north stairway and thro'
the vast unoccupied area. Here were
heard the warm exhortations OF pastor
, Clapp whose seat was between the south
windows, Ephraim Jewett's prompt and
welcome break OF the pause next FOL

Women's voices had by no means begun to
be heard at that date. There were not
very many to fill the seats but there was
a wealth OF spiritual lite and warmth
of fellowship that made those first meet
ings forever memorable.

sion in the monthly concert, always
praying that poor benighted Africa
might be taught to look up from nature

of DR.. Fayette Jewett, the first foreign

Mr. Clapp's ministry covered ouryears
and four days that could not be other
than a period of anxiety. He was pa

with this church was four J years. only, 1t
continued four and forty years in the
community in the life of his accomplished
daughter Frances, wife of Col. Franklin
Fairbanks.
For nearly year. 1855, the church
was without pastor, a sorrowful time
for during this year it was grievously
stricken in the death of Joseph Paddock
Fairbanks. He was in the prime of ripe
and mellow manhood man of insight
and quite extensive culture, with large
views Of lie and unusual all-around sa

where he seemed to make an atmosphere
charged with sensitive religious feeling
