NOTES REGARDING CONGREGA-
TIONALISM IN BINGHAM
1t will be remembered by all who
are conversant with the history of
the Bingham Congregational Church,
that for many years 1t was child of
the Maine Missionary Society that 1t
was helped not only in a financial
manner but also received from the So
ciety by way of appointment many
of its pastors and teachers, who by
their devotion and wisdom, developed
within the life of the people desire
for independence and larger useful
ness. 1t was during the ministry of
Rev. J. c. Gregory, now of Pressure
Isle, that the new church building
was erected at cost of $4,000 and
dedicated free from debt, Dec. II,
