Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Book of the First Church of Christ The Church took some action in the year 1808, on the subject of a reprint of the catalogue of its members from the beginning, in connection with such historical matter as might be deemed useful and of general interest. A committee of three was then chosen for this business, and was increased in 1841 by the addition of three other brethren. Little was done, however, for several years. In 1845 the pastor favored his people with two discourses on "The Faithfulness of God to this Church," during the one hundred and fifty years of its existence, which period closed with the Sabbath on which the discourses were preached. The interest on this subject was revived, and the church soon after voted that these Century and Half Discourses should be printed with the contemplated catalogue and history. One of the original members having died, the vacancy was filled in 1846, and still another brother added in lb 47. But time passed on without the matter being taken up in earnest till 1851, when only three of the eight, who had been chosen for this work, remained here to accomplish it. The historical part was put to press early in 1852, and the discourses soon followed; - but on account of the incompleteness of records, and the labor of getting the necessary information from other sources, the Descriptive Catalogue could not be prepared at that time. Much effort has since been made to gather facts, to procure as full an account of each member as is attainable at this distance of time. This delay, however, has brought to light new facts, making necessary the addition of Notes and a more extended Errata. The committee in concluding a work, which, on account of the peculiar difficulties attending it, has been long protracted, cherish the hope that what they have imperfectly done may lead the living members of the church to ponder well on the various relations they sustain to those who have died in the Lord, to one another, and to all who, by their prayers and efforts, may yet be brought into spiritual communion with themselves on earth and in heaven. To the favor of God we now commend the result of our labors, praying that His blessing may make it useful to the present and future generations of this church and this people.
