the privileges we already enjoy.
am sure that we all feel that
there is hardly any community any
where that has been so signally
blessed by a succession of true and
Cody men and women as were those
whose praises we sing today. Much
has been given to US in every way.
And much ought to be required of us
in return.
Let me urge you again, in closing,
to cherish those noble ideals, to seek
to perpetuate in our own and in our
children's lives those splendid vir-
tues, those great moral and spiritual
aims; let us enter into those Christ
like ministries that marked one
generation after another and that
were so beautifully conspicuous in
the life of our dearly beloved friend.
Instead of giving way to undue
sorrow, let US be truly grateful that
that life has rounded out to its three
score and 10 years in our midst; let
us be glad that we ourselves and that
the children of our community nave
known her and loved her as she has
loved them and ever sought to en-
rich their lives and to broaden their
vision in every way possible.
AS she has handed down to us that
torch which she always kept burning
so brightly and which lighted so
many hearts and homes all about
us, let us hold it high, and be care
full that we do not in any way break
faith with her and with all those
noble Christian men and women of
these and of other families who have
done so much for Norfolk; but let
us strive more earnestly than ever
to show that the love and the devo-
ton they have given has met with
a respons in our day that shall bless
our community for generations yet
to come.

and close association with the church
and the parsonage. The influence of
the entire family was identified as
closely as possible with the religious
life of the people of Norfolk, and
their sympathies and aid were always
generous and prompt for the COM
fort and relief of the suffering. Their
house was home for clergymen and
a center for all religious meetings of
local and general interest. Her
tastes sympathized with the beauty
of nature, directing to the culture
of native trees and the nurture of
plants and flowers. Literature of
every description gave strength and
training and culture to all the house
hold. Music, vocal and instrumental
was prosecuted with indefatigable
zeal and upfailing delight"
One cannot overestimate the worth
of such a. home in any community,
in the magnetic influence it exerts in
drawing into it's circle many choice
spirits from outside the community,
and in this way enriching the whole
community life.
And I would gladly speak, if time
permitted, of each of the nine chill
dren who came into that home to
brighten and to bless, not only that
one home, but countless other
homes in our midst, and whose gra-
cious influence and kindly deeds ex-
tended far beyond the confines of
this little town but / must keep my
thoughts within the bounds that
: have chosen and we find that the
oldest daughter of this home, Sarah,
became the wife of Rev. Joseph Ed
ridge; and thus another eminent
name which we hold in peculiarly
tender and loving affection today.
DR.. Robbins was pastor of this
church for 81 years, and after an
interval of only 10 years from his
death he was succeeded by DR.. Ed
ridge, who for AZ years was the
honored and beloved pastor here.
The combined services, then, of the
grandfather and the grandson lacked
only six years of completing a full
scentury Of an unusually rich and
fruitful ministry.
And when I try to speak Of this
new name, 1 find myself laboring
iunder great embarrassment because
of the peculiarly tender and loving
relationship that we all bear to this
family at this moment.
But to complete the story that l
am minded to impress upon all our
hearts, and especially upon the
hearts of our young people, trust
that may be permitted to speak with
as little embarrassment as possible.
Of DR.. Eldridge's parents, Presi-
'dent Porter of Yale university has
said:
Ellis father was a sea captain in
easy circumstances, who provided
generously for the comfort and the
fcing the simplicity of their tastes or
the claims of duty and of God. His
Fmother was a superior woman of ar
dent piety, of large intelligence and
an enterprising spirit"
Of DR.. Eldridge himself, our hon
;ored and venerable friend, Mr.. Good
enough of Winchester, has written
i''He was man of large mind and
'extensive information, but his great
ness seemed most of all due to his
large heartedness. He had a ready
grasp of practical questions because
of his deep interest in everything
that affected the welfare of men and
women. He studied humanity, not
as scientific problem, but as a
means of understanding and heInino o.

the living, concrete persons whom he
saw on every side in need of personal
sympathy. 1t was matter of course
that the younger ministers went to
him for advice and assistance in
their difficulties. They knew he loved
them and understood them and that
the problems that perplexed them.
He had a comprehensive grasp of
the utter simplicity and sincerity of
the man went straight to the root of
all practical questions. He saw at
once the thing that was just and kind
and insisted that only that should be
done and done at once. &. All
who knew him had a high ideal of
Christian manhood put before them. !"
President Porter thus speaks of
him: "He was eminently social, kind
ly generous and sympathizing. The
poorest and the humblest of his
flock received from him as ready at
tention and as warm a sympathy as
those whose lot was more favored.
His external prosperity and ample
resourcese did not withdraw him
from ministering to the poorest and
least refined of his people Or seduce
! him to any superciliousness or dainti-
ness or effeminacy. DIR. Eldridge
never aspired to be a great man, nor
did he know that he was great man.
While he was gentle among his
ipeople as a nurse cherisheth her
children, yet he uniformly did hon.
age to their self-respect. He dared
to oppose them when his own conYic-
tions were strong, but he always did
it in an earnest and manly way"
And President Porter cites as an
illustration of this the fact which we
should never forget, that we owe the
preservation of our beautiful green
here in front of the church to the
strong and insistent but always cour-
teous demand of DIR. Eldridge that
the railroad should not be cut
through the village green, even
though petition signed by 204 out
of 256 votes so requested.
Of Mrs. Eldridge, the oldest daugh-
ter of Joseph and Sarah Battell, one
of her sisters wrote:
"In her childhood she was our
'gleemaiden,' tripping with song and
laughter in and about our bright
home, always leading in our amuse-
ments and contributing with her
ready wit to convert our little
trouble and tasks into a laughing
comedy. She had an inheri-
ted love of flowers that delighted her
mother, and we often saw them bend
ing over new specimen of some
exotic plant or comforting about the
arrangements of the flower beds or
discussing the old and new method
of flower culture" Speaking of her
social life and her sweet unlifting
influence, this sister continues:
"When your father made choice of
one of his flock, some of the sanity
old members of the flock shook their
heads and feared that the young girl
would not fill her grandmother's
place, though it took dear grandma
81 years to live up to the require
ments of a minister's wife, and even
then it was the magnetism of her
sweet disposition and invariable high
breeding that captivated the hearts
of the parishioners, as your mother
did in less than a twelvemonth after
she became the pastors wife. 1 was
delightfully."- surprised to find when I
came home after years absence
that she was such universal favor
tie with all ages and classes"
And a brother-in-law thus writes

that has been so wonderfully blessed
in the constantly charging influence
of one family.
The names of Robbins and Battell
and Eldridge are inseparably con-
nected with the best things that we
all associate with the name of Nor
folk. % ..'@
Other worthy families have added
their full measure to the value of
those things which we all prize most,
but none, am sure, will dispute the
prominence of this one family line,
beginning back in 1851, when Rev.
Ammi Ruhamah Robbins became the
first minister of this church, more
than a century and a half ago, con-
tinuing here a constantly charging
ministry for 81 years.
There is no time, and it would be
foreign to our immediate purpose,
to speak at length of the great work
that DR.. Robbins accomplished here.
Let me simply remind you that he
was talented scholar and most
successful preacher and teacher, pre-
pairing large number of young
men for college.
One of his pupils thus speaks of
him: cit would be difficult to select a
minister in Connecticut who has been
more popular with the people in his
charge or who exercised over them a
more complete and useful control"
Another writes: SIN my 18th year
II Il Il 01 -
Rev. Mr. Robbins. I was the 13Oth
boy whom he had fitted and entered
at some collegiate institution. His
school had a great reputation as a
theater for training boys for college.
He was an animated and pleasing
teacher. He was take him for all in
ALL delightful man. His piety was
free, joyous, practical and generous. 3"
Of Mrs. Robbins, who was great
granddaughter of William Bradford,
governor of the Plymouth colony, her
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Emerson, wrote {:
"Her vivacity was remarkable, tenn
pered and guided by truth and piety.
1t was as useful as it was entertain
ing. 1t delightfully."- mingled the ami
nation and charm of youth with the
sedateness of age, the life of spring
with the ripeness and serenity of
autumn" Mrs. Robbins died in 1929
at the age of "a.
When the daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. Robbins, Sarah, became the wife
of Joseph Battell, there was en-
grated into this family tree a name
that has become famous may al
most say the world over.
l must hold myself strictly to the
direct line of our vision, else l would
find myself engulfed in a multitude
of grateful thoughts of one and an
other Of these noble families,
thoughts that might fttingly be ex-
pressed, but which would necessarily
lead to a much longer discourse than
is permissible at the present time.
Of Joseph Battell it has been said
"He was not only a most successful
business man, rarely public-spirited
man, foremost in every good work
in the town and the whole region,
but he was also a man of great kind
ness of heart, thoughtful of others,
not only of his own friends, but
ready to assist anyone in trouble"
And of Mrs. Battell it has been
written: "The quick-minded and
never-resting mother was true to her
traditions as a minister's daughter.
She kept her children in constant

this award is entirely Inadequate to
