The First Parish OF Belfast was organized in
tor and continued as such until his formal re-
signation October ?. 1913 From the time of
his resignation to the year 1878 there was no
regular preaching maintained by the ongre-
gationalists, except that IN 1915 the parish
voted to hire the Rev. Asa Piper to preach
two months. In 1916 the Rev William Froth-
ingham preached one Sunday in the Academy,
of which he became the preceptor the follow
ing year, and in November he EN- ployed
to preach for six months. There was so much
interest in his preaching that on Feb ?, 1878,
the parish voted to build a Westinghouse

were chosen a committee to decide upon
plan and location. They subsequently sub
mitted plan for church 65 feet long by so
in width, containing 80 pews. The estimated
cost of the ediice was Sc, 900. of which S5.490
had been provided for by an obligatory sub
scription for 81 of said pews at $50 each, sub
ject to parish auction for the choice of them.
The land owned by Robert Miller was recon-
mended the most eligible location, and this
lot was accepted by the parish February 16,
1918, aud the frame of the church was raised
in June of that year, when barrel of punch
provided by the parish committee and
Judge Crosby made a brief address. Samuel
French was the master-builder and William
Frederick was workman. The plan, somewhat
modified, was taken from that of the church

formal call from both church and parish in the
spring of 1878, but owing to his absence
and the illness of his wife the invita-
tion was not definitely accepted until the
following December. He was publicly in

Congregational churches had then begun to be
indoctrinated with Unitarian sentiments and
at the time of Mr.. Frothingham's installation
sharp and distinct line between the two
parties was beginning to be drawn, and the
question came up of the rights of churches
and parishes in the settlement of minister.
