Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Historical Address: Before the Church of Christ in North Coventry, Conn;, At Their First Centennial Celebration, October 9, 1845 The origin and annals of a small religious community, in a retired country parish, can present but few incidents to interest the feelings, or attract the attention of the multitude. And the event which we are assembled to commemorate has been deemed worthy of but an obscure place in history. Few, very few have been made acquainted with the fact, that on the 8th day of October 1745, a church of Christ was organized in this place, and that on the day following Rev. Nathan Strong was ordained their pastor. But however trivial the celebration of a church´s birth-day, and the calling to remembrance the virtues and deeds of our ancestors may appear to some, your coming together, my friends, bespeaks an interest in the present occasion. And grateful are we, who here statedly worship the God of our fathers, that we are allowed the privilege of meeting at this time so many of our acquaintance from other churches and congregations. We welcome them to a participation with us in the mutual greetings, grateful recollections, and religious sympathies of the occasion. We rejoice in this favorable opportunity once more, within these consecrated walls, of mingling in devotional services with those from abroad, who are natives of this place, or who were once members of this congregation. We welcome them to the sanctuary, the homes, and the sepulchres of their fathers and early associates. And with pleasure we anticipate the privilege of again welcoming many of them to the table of our common Lord.
