Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from One Hundred and Seventy-Five Years in the Life of a Church The town of Grafton occupies a portion of territory which used to be called the Nipmuck country. The Nipmuck Indians of which the Hassaniinisco Indians were a branch, seem to have been less warlike than many of the neighboring tribes, and the Rev John Eliot who commenced his labors at Natick in 1646 among the Indians of that place, found them ready to listen to the preaching of the gospel. The Nipmuck Indians were most friendly with the Natick Indians, and Eliot in a letter to the Corporation of London in 1649, describing his work among the Indians says: "A Nipnet Sachem hath submitted himself to the Lord, and much desires one of our chief ones to live with him and those that are with him." Within a few years after this the great Apostle to the New England Indians visited this section, for in 1654 the General Court, on the petition of Eliot, set this town apart for the use of the Indians. For a number of years after this Eliot often visited this locality, and carried on his work with such fruitfulness that on September 23, 1671, an Indian church was formed in the town, which was the second organization of the kind in Massachusetts. The church was organized by Eliot himself, or by some one acting under his direction. The church grew in numbers, and the Indian reservation of Hassanimisco came to be the center of a large and wide-spread Christian influence.
