 S. Child, D. D.

Yesterday marked the 275th aI1niver- sary of the settlement of Fairfield, by a group of planters under tho lead eEsIaip of Roger Ludlow. Originally the Fairfield Historical Society had planned to hold a large celebration in cOTnnneHnOration of the event, but this was abandoned and the Congregational church, whose 275th anniversary It also was, decided to hold a celebration of its own.
 In memory of those sturdy found- CTS of that first "meetiHlg-honse" six beautiful jewel glass windows made in the Tiffany studios of New York, were Dresented to it's handsome present day representative.
 Two services were held, and both were attended by large audiences, 1n- cIuded among whom were many BridReporters The pulpit and church front were banked with flowers, and speciaI musical programs rendered by the choir.
 Tne pastor of the church, Rev. Frank $. Child, D. D., who is the au- thor of several historical works, made the morning address, his subject being sePa1ish and People in the Early Days of the Colony"
 At the afternoon services, Dr. Child made the address of welcome and pr. the First church of Hartford, made an address on f0The Mission of the Meeting House"
 pr. Child's addresses are of com siderable value, and contain much which has never before been pub fshed. The Farmer is fortunate in being able to present to it's readers the text of pr. ChiId's addresses which are to appear in book form shortly.

PeriI Fror1 Indians.

The Green or Parade was cleared of trees, as a matter of safety. For there was constant danger of fire in the thickIy wooded region and the trees also gave our Indian denizens better opportunity to skulk in the -neighborhood. Such was the peril from Redmen these early years that the town voted October IS, 1875 that <fthe meeting-house shall be fortified by the publick." And on November 30 of the same year f'the town orders that the Qualifications about a con siderable part of the town concluded by the. Committee formerly chosen for that purpose shall be forthwith made and erected by all the inhabi- tants of the town with all their teams all persons from ten years old to seventeen, the major and the minister excepted. This vote was repeated on December 1th, and a committee con- sisting of Goodwin Rowland, MT. liar wy, John Wheeler, James Beers, Sar- jeant Squire, Francis Bradley and Jo- seph Lockwood were empowered to go forward with the work. In 1889 the town ordered a stockade to be built around the meeting-house, the school house and the parsonage. If the Indians attacked the settlement here was a safe place of refuge The guard at the meeting-house on Sun day and Lecture day was increased as the number of citizens muItipIied-it having been enacted by the Court in 1642 that ttone person in every house wherein there is a soldier shall bring a musket, pistol or some piece and shot to each meeting, unless the the magistrate shell dispense'' with the service of any person and appoint some other soldier to take his place

tion Of these properties where copied from our records covers more than twenty closely written pages of com mercial note paper. The will of MT. Wakeman, which showed ant estate very large for the times, indicates tho generosity of the people and the bus mess ability of the minister. These pastors were Invariably farmers some of them excellent managers and riculturists--setting @ fine example of thrift while proving devout and efficient in the work of the ministry. T It soon became the custom to be- gin the Sabbath on Saturday night. Did not the Bible say that the ttev- ening and the morning were the first day?" So all work was sharply con cluded at sundown. And tasks were so strenuous those days that think
 Saturday evening must have been hailed withfa sort of quiet gratituoe. Hands might lie idle and the tired family hasten to rest The early hour of public W orship, nine o'clock, was marked by the rattle of the drum. We see the folks in their Sunday gar ments walking carefully, watchfully to church. People were compelled to live within certain HTnites and like the Israelites in conquered Canaan, go forth to their distant fields in daily toil. This was matter, of security and protection. At this early period the cabins were reared within the con- fines of the original settlement. At later date it was common to see the children walk to meeting barefoot, putting their shoes on just before they entered the meeting-house. This was a matter of economy. The long first service in the morning was followed by a rest period at noon-day and return to the second meeting at one o'clock in the afternoon. During the years immediately following the set tlement of the town, worshippers were able to return to their homes, for a cold dinner, but when the mum Der of inhabitants increased and many lived at a considerable dis tance from the Green, a lunch was brought and eaten in the open or in some neighbor's house. Prayer, psalmody, sermon constituted the or der of worship.

 ody none too brief, and the discourse one that infreQuent1y extended to seventeenthly and finally. we will take another glass; said more than one Colonial preacher, as ,hee turned the hour-gIass standing on the pull pit and proceeded with his statement of doctrine and it's application. MT. Wakeman's sermon before the Court at Hartford, May 14th, 1883, was de- scribed as "a solid and awakening dis course, exhorting the people of God to comply with his counsel by a hearty, practical turning from sin to Himself and His service thereby to prevent their being made desolate by His departing from them" It had three texts. When printed it covered forty-foi1r. pages and contained fifty two divisions and sub-d divisions. MT. Webb's sermon after the death of the Pious and Worthy Magistrate Major Nathan Gold, required two meetings for it's delivery and filled 50 pages of finely written rnanuScript-a discourse now preserved in its original form by the Historical society. When we re- call the fact that the first seats in the meeting-houSe were probably slabs or rough hewn timbers, that for a. time there was no flooring, that ven- tilation was so poor on a su1try day that the air must have been wel1-nigh suffocating, and on a stormy winters day so riotous and penetrating that the people -unwarmed by stoves must have well nigh perished with cold when we recall these facts we appre-, ciate the toughness of physical fiber possessed by our ancestors and ad- mire unstintedly that nerve, endurance and fidelity which sustained them when through heat or cold they gath cred periodically and worshipped God according to the dictates of their con science.
 The services on Lecture day, which was Wednesday in this settlement had a less formal character and sup piled interesting experiences for all the citizens. After the sermon was preached, town meeting was held and all local affairs discussed and ar ranged. Meanwhile the stocks and the whipping post, standing on the Green directly in front of the meet ing-house, drew the boys and other onIookers who sometimes baited the culprits taking their punishment.
