CHURCH IN COLONIAL DAYS
Address Before Churchman'S League
by Rev. DR.. Samuel Hart

The third Lenten lecture of the Church
mans League was given last night at
Epiphany Church by Rev. DR.. Samuel Hart
of Hartford, Conn. the subject being 1.-The
Church in New England During the Colo
NAL Period"
The speaker stated that there were three
churches planted in the section named-the
Church of England, in Maine, in 1907; the
independents. or Separatists. at Plymouth.
in 1920 and the Puritans, in 1886. The last
were non-conformsts but not separatists,
and objected to Episcopacy.
The colony Of Connecticut was formed
in 1885, with the first known written con-
stitution, but without any religious test ex-
cept that the governor must be member
of the church. The blue laws were enacted
by the New Haven colony, and this colony
was governed by Seven pillars of the
church," all members thereof.
Upon the readvent Of the Episcopal
Church in New England 1t met with active
opposition in Massachusetts, but passive in
ganizations as to qualifications Of parents
of the second generation Of settlers pre-
vented their children from being baptized.
hence there was a numerous population
without church affiliation. Into this field
the message came and many returned TO
the church.
In 1856 the royal governors brought the
Church of England to Massachusetts,, the
Rev Robert Ratcliff founding Kings
Chapel The first American bishop. Sea-
bury of Connecticut, was consecrated by
the bishops of the church in Scotland. prior
to which candidates for ordination had TO
90 to England.
After the revolution there were only four
ministers of the Episcopal Church IN New
England, while now in Connecticut alone
the members of this church are one-eighth
of the population. and this year is the BIZ
centenary of the establishment OF the
church in that state.
