Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon: Delivered in the First Congregational Church, Boothbay, Maine, Sept; 23, 1866 We may judge of their interest in him, when we know that Andrew Reed followed him all the way to Newburyport, for the sake of listening to his words. One winter, this same Mr. Reed, when all the rest fled in fear of the savages, remained alone till they, in the spring, returned. When they wondered at his daring, the brave old man answered, - "What, had I not my Bible with me?" Of such metal as this, was the old church made. But of this period I will let the Fathers speak themselves; for though dead, they yet speak in their Records, as well as in the Church, which remains till this day. Extract from the Original Sessions Record. "The Elders in Session voted, that a sessions book be purchased, and that the Clerk be appointed to record in it the history of the settlement of this Church, from the first beginning down to this time, which was done, brought in, and read, and is as follows: - Early History "The inhabitants of this town, having long been harrassed and distrest by the natural difficulties of settling a new country, without any considerable resources of wealth, and more especially by frequent wars with savages on the border, by which the settlement was repeatedly broke up, and the whole place laid waste; had hardly recovered strength enough for the settlement of the Gospel amongst us, and therefore, had long been languishing under the heavy affliction of silent Sabbaths; various preachers, ´tis true, we from time to time had opportunity to hear, both here and in the neighborhood; and various applications were made by us to the Reverend Presbytery of Boston, for supplies; but all were treated with utter neglect; and now no hope remained of any settlement of the Gospel here. The people, dispirited by long and fruitless attempts, sat down in inactive despondency. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
