It was hallowed spot for those present for not far distant is the spot, now designated by an ap- propriafe tablet, where the Jesse Lee chapel credited with being the first Methodist church in New England, stood for many years The Jesse Lee church outcome of this original so- cfety with three members, is also in this locality. It Is also known as the 'tFgat Rock church.
 On account of the excellent, weather there was a large attendance in the Pilgrimage Party. that left the First Methodist church on Fairfield avenue this afternoon by automobile A short call was made at the Jesse Lee chapel site and the church, built in 1796 was also visited.
 At the farm house the services began with the singing of the. hymn, 'A1l Hall the Power of Jesus Name and was followed by the reading of the Twenty-third Psalm. The principal feature was the historical sketch by George B. Hawley of this city.
