T h e T o w n of Farmington, formerly the Northwest Parish of Rochester, was incorporated Dec. 1 , 1798.
I n 1819, September 15, the F i r s t Congrega-
tional C h u r c h was organized by the Rev. James Walker, under the auspices of the
New Hampshire Missionary Society, with a membership of eight persons, three
men and five women, namely: Benjamin Furber, Peter Akerman, Noah H o m e ,
Mehitable Hayes, Mary Furber, Mary Furber (Captain Samuel Furber's wife),
Mehitable Furber, E l i z a b e t h Roberts.

O n the date named a discourse was given from L u k e
12:32, and the ordinance of the Lord's supper was observed.
T h e church remem-
bers with grateful appreciation the labors of men and women, pastors and laymen,
whose devotion to the interests of the organization ceased only with their visible
lives, and the people hold also in tender remembrance
the self-sacrifice
and
faithful love of the living to whom so much is owed for like reasons.

The

" r e v i v a l " in w h i c h I was " c o n v e r t e d " was a sort of
union affair, as it is termed ; that is. F r e e w i l l Baptists, T r i n i t a r i a n
Congregationalists
and Methodists were engaged in it.
I t was
intimated to me that I should be w a r m l y welcomed to churchmembership in either of these sects.
w i l l Baptists, on two grounds.
I elected to j o i n the F r e e -

early day in the abolition movement taken an anti-slavery position,
and borne testimony against " t h e sum of all v i l l a i n i e s . "
Such was

pro-slavery prejudices.
I did not, it is true, k n o w this at the time ;
but i presume if I had I should have chosen that sect all the
same, because it was the only religious body (besides the Q u a k e r s )
that h a d at that day the decency to protest against putting women
on the auction-block.
Second;
though I then k n e w very little
about theology, I did know that there was such a thing as C a l v i n ism ; and i.n the fervor of my newborn zeal I loathed the monstrous dogma that God had doomed a " c e r t a i n but indefinite numb e r " of tlje human race (so says the creed) to an eternal h e l l , —
and made, too, that characteristic and godlike decree before the
"foundation
of the w o r l d . "
Now
the

I was therefore inclined to this sect by the force of my
natural tastes and impulses.
For some months after this my thoughts puzzled and struggled
over the personal problem whether I should continue to cultivate
^
the soil ( a noble and honest occupation in itself), or whether I
�3i
•
should attempt to do something else.
I had not yet recovered
from the shock of my first defeat, and still sorely distrusted my
own
abilities.
A t the same
time I had an intense yearning for
some form of intellectual life, and feared that my brain would
i ,
stagnate, as it evidently had i n the case of most of my neighbors,
^
in the simple but wearing toils of a farmer's existence.
I n this state of doubt and perplexity, it happened, the next
\
summer, that an opening was accidentally offered to me, and, with
not more than an hour's notice, I jnounted the pulpit, and gave my
first sermon,—an entirely extemporaneous effort, without any'previous preparation whatever.
D f c o u r s e l went through, and talked
the usual length of time without stumbling.
did not settle my doubts.
But the performance
I still could not bring myself to believe
that I was made for a preacher.
I n this state of uncertainty I passed' several months of the
succeeding winter in Boston.
I set types in Mr. B u t t s ' office for
the family subsistence, and used my evenings to renew some former
associations, and to reawaken, if I could, my mental energies.
'
,rCi '
I returned to Wilmot in early spring, to meet the sorrow of laying away in the grave the dear form of the lovely babe, the first
that was born to me in my second marriage,—little M a r y L o u i s a ,
aged fifteen months.
H e r mother sleeps beside her now.
O n the question that h a d been
engaging
my thoughts
for
months, my mind not many weeks after this came to a decision.
I
could not settle down to a farmer's life ; what, then, should I do ?
I had a definite purpose,—I was bent on making myself of some
use to the world.
What c a l l i n g or occnpation could offer
opportunities than that of the Ministry ?

that, by its very nature, could have no connection with selfishness
or pride.

A person of moderate abilities might do some service to his race
in such a work as this.
T h e die was c a s t , — I would be a minister.
�T h e next question w a s , — M u s t I prepare myself by a course of
study i n some theological school ?
H o w did I learn to set types ?
I learned without a master,—by m y own unaided practice.

to learn to preach is—to preach.
The
T h e n the way
Of course, if there were techni-
cal or scientific secrets to be learned, it would be necessary to go
where they were revealed or taught.
But how m u c h science must
a man be master of before he could learn to say what he thinks.
I am now twenty-eight years of a g e , — I will waste no time i n the
schools.
I w i l l make the needs, the prejudices, the passions of
my fellow-men my school; if I cannot learn how to preach in such
a school, I could not from a professor of d i v i n i t y .
So I began.
I gave sermons here a n d there, for awhile, as I had opportunity,—sometimes holding forth in a schoolhouse, and sometimes
taking the place of a minister who was i l l .
The
F r e e w i l l Baptist churches were
arranged in groups of
neighboring bodies, periiaps twenty churches i n a group.
These
associations were called Quarterly Meetings, and met in religious
convocation four times a year.'

I '5 S'^
T h e r e was one episode that I w i l l recount, because it will tend
to show how I had my eyes opened to the_actual state of religious
character and quality in the people among whom my lot was now
cast, and how some of the fond illusions with w h i c h I set out were
too suddenly dissolved.
E a r l y in the spring I wished to purchase a cow.
I had no
s k i l l in judging of an animal's qualities by external examination,
an art i n which some old farmers are exceedingly expert.
So I
went to one of my deacons, a man who, for t h a t locality, dealt
largely in cattle, and stated my want.

A t this time I had full con-
I had indeed heard some hints
that he was not trustworthy in his business transactions; but he
was so loud in his professions, a n d so zealous i n prayer-meeting.
�33'
that in my simplicity I h a d dismissed these innuendoes as u n worthy of belief.
So when he told me that he had just the cow I
wanted, that he would sell me below her value, I fully believed
him.
I t is true it was some slight shock to my confidence when
he went on to expatiate on the very excellent qualities of his c o w ;
but, putting the matter on the very lowest ground, I reflected that no
m a n would, for the sake of a few dollars, gravely damage his reputation among his neighbors by a dishonest transaction.
I paid
h i m his price, which was as high as a first-class animal would
command.
A s it turned out, it was the meanest and most nearly
worthless of any domestic a n i m a l ever reared.
But I said noth-
i n g ; I only thought that I might profit by the lesson in the future.
Some others, who could not help knowing the facts, made
talk about it, much to the deacon's discredit.
some
But I took my
punishment l i k e a little m a n .
I t did, however, have the effect of convincing me that the education of this people in the principles of Christian morality had
been sadly neglected, and impressed me with the necessity and
importance of giving these C h r i s t i a n s more " p r a c t i c a l " sermons.
A n d i n this way my attention was turned to this line of instruction.
M a n y months afterwards, when I had seen more evidences of
the moral obtuseness of this people, I remember that I prepared
my.self with a " strong " sermon on the urgency of the requirement
that C h r i s t i a n s should be truthful and honest in their dally lives,
if they would not bring dishonor on the gospel they
professed.
Now I most solemnly affirm that in this sermon I did not have
the deacon in my m i n d .
grievance
I was not disposed to put a personal
into a discourse; a n d , besides, some more recent cir-
cumstances had driven the thought of the deacon's cheat out of
my mind.
I could not help noticing, however, that the deacon was
very uneasy during the service ; and, as soon as it was over, one of
his sons went out of the c h u r c h , and said, in the hearing of many,
" T h e r e ! he said everything he could say without saying ' c o w '
right out."
T h i s revealed to me how much this family had suffered
i n their feelings about the " c o w trade," and it was
encouraging
�34
to know that t h e j were not insensible to the_lash.
T h e r e is some
hope of a man's moral renovation as long as a good degree of
sensibility remains.
I had got tlie best end of the " trade " after a l l .
I n the course of two years I had made some advancement i n
the art of preaching, and now felt some confidence I might j u s t l y '
attempt to be useful in a larger field.
I n J a n u a r y , 1S54, I was at a session of the Quarterly Meeting,
held at Wilmot, formally o r d a i n e d to the work of the ministr}', and
now became a full-fledged clergyman.
I
soon
received
a " c a l l " to Strafford, V e r m o n t , and, after
preaching there for one Sunday, I accepted the invitation, and removed to that town with m y family.
H e r e I passed two pleasant
years ; but nothing occurred worthy of special r e c o r d .
slavery sentiment was m u c h more vigorous
V e r m o n t than it was in N e w H a m p s h i r e .
T h e anti-
and wide-spread i n
I n my church or audi-
ence there was none of that besotted prejudice i n favor of slavery
that I h a d found i n W i l m o t ; and there was no necessity for those
anti-sla\ery sermons that h a d been a source of irritation to some
of my hearers in my first m i n i s t r y .
I n the elections of the autumn
of that year the victory for anti-slavery
was practically won i n
Vermont.
I t was here that I sought to prepare myself for future usefulness by m a k i n g an experiment.

H i t h e r t o I had not been able to preach without considerable preparation. * But, to be fitted for emergencies, I wanted to be
to preach off-hand.
able
So I adopted the plan of going out to these
evening meetings, and g i v i n g a " p r e a c h " without the slightest
preparation.
I wanted to get the ability and habit of " thinking
on my feet."
I f I have ever had any facility in purely extempo-
raneous speaking, it is due to such efforts as these, more than to
any natural gift.
I n my original power of speech I was not fluent.
�35
T h e r e is, indeed, such a tiling as extemporaneous speech, the main
part
of
which has
been
thoroughly thought out
beforehand.
W h a t I desired was to be able to think as I went along.
Besides the fact that I was one year in StrafTord elected to
have charge of the public schools, there is nothing in particular to
set down i n my life there.
T h e r e was no " leligious revi\l " in
the town while I remained there.
M y next ministry was in the town of Farmington, in New
H a m p s h i r e , where I removed i n the summer of 1856.
A village
had been built up here by a thriving shoe industry, and a small
F r e e w i l l Baptist church h a d been organized.
I not only had a
" c a l l " to go there, but had been urged by the brethren who managed affairs at the headquarters of the denomination in Dover to
accept it.
T h e substance of this advice was, that the village was
growing, and, by the hard work of an earnest and able man a
flourishing church might be built up there.
T h e first point was to get a church built there, for the F r e e w i l l
Baptists had no fit place of worship.
A n old and decayed meeting-
house, built in the old times before a village was thought of, was
all that the church had to meet in ; and as this gloomy house was
three-fourths of a mile away from the village it was impossible to
gather an audience within its w a l l s on Sunday,—ah audience large
enough to give any hope of the future.
One of our leading m.inisters had been my immediate
ecessor.
pred-
H e had devoted his ministr}'of two years to the special
object of building a new meeting-house in the village ; and had
given up the work in despair.
I
went there under these conditions,
i soon saw that for
some months at least a new meeting-house was not to be thought
of, much less openly advocated.
I n fact some members of the
church " e n c o u r a g e d " me from the first by saying that the F r e e will doctrine had no chance i n that community, and a new house
of worship could never be built there.
I thought I would consic;;r
the matter for myself, and said nothing.
B u t what forced the postponement of any meeting-house enter-
�36
prise was the fact that the entire community was terribly stirred
up and excited over politics.
mont cainpaign of
W e were in the midst of the F r e -
1856.
I have witnessed and passed through fifteen presidential elections, and the campaign of 1856 surpasses any of them, or all of
them, for its purely moral effectiveness
and grandeur.
T h e cam-
paign of 1840 was fully as glowing in its e.xcitement; but it was
a merely thoughtless craze, a n d nobody kne.v what the hullabalo
was all about.
'* W i l l go for O l d T i p , therefore,
Without a why or wherefore "
was a quite accurate description of the spirit of that
canvass.
T h e election of 1S60, when L i n c o l n was elected, was very quiet
and inanimate indeed, for the contest had been practically decided
four years earlier, and it was seen to be a foregone conclusion
from the beginning of the canvass.
B u t i n 1856
the political conditions were entirely unlike any
which di.^iinguished a campaign before or since,—at least in my
remembrance.
T h e anti-slavery sentiment that had been
slowly gaining in
force and volume as a political movement since 1840 now appeared
in the field with a strength a n d vigor that threatened or promised
to sweep the country.
T h e outrages which the
border
ruffians,"
the tools of the slave power, were infliciing on the free settlers of
K a n s a s , and the horrible atrocities of midnight raids on the homes
of peaceable emigrants, borne on every Western breeze, aroused
the pity and indignation of the N o r t h .
W h e n these emigrants at
length arose to oppose the invader, and John Brown's war-cry at
Ossawatomie was heard throughout the land, the excitement blazed
with intensity of heat.
B u t the impulse which set the multitudes
in polidcal array was a purely moral impulse.
No question of dol-
lars and cents entered into the conflict; no man's pocket was appealed to.
I t was only the claims of R i g h t against Wrong, of
Freedom against Slavery.
I t was into the whirl of such a political tempest that I was cast

importance of m a k i n g a right use of my abilities and my opportunities.
So I preached

of the storm raging around me.
I contented
myself with the increase i n the number of my small audience,
from Sunday to S u n d a y , — a n increase which usually marks a new
preacher's advent, and w h i c h it depends on his own abilities to
hold.
So matters went on for weeks.
A t the beginning of October I felt I must no longer delay.

" Dropping buckets into empty wells,

But I had been treasuring up such a volume of " wrath against
the day of w r a t h " that I w a s impelled to say more than I then
thought I could properly say as a part of a religious service.
So
one Sunday I quietly gave notice that on the following T h u r s d a y
evening I would state my views on the political situation.
I went down to the old meeting-house on that evening in a
mental state the very calmness of which surprised me.
I
found
about twice the number of my usual audience, but the general
aspect was very quiet.
1 besran by stating the general grounds on
which c h a f e l slavery was shown to be a monstrous wrong, and the
giant sin of permitting it to e x i s t anywhere, as well as the absurd
disgrace
of continuing the iniquitous s3-stem in a land formally
dedicated, as ours was, to liberty.
A l l this I might properly have
declared in a sermon on Sunday.
B u t then I went on to apply thq
�38
principles I had laid down to the existing position of political parties.
T h e Democratic party, w h i c h had for forty years stood as the
abject tool of the S l a v e power, h a d in the present campaign taken a
position in defence of s l a v e r y .
I t was true they had attempted to
mask their batteries ; but in spite of a l l attempted disguises, the
fact was evident that the success of that party would be regarded,
South and North, as a triumph of slavery, and a blow at the hope
of freedom.
I n the conflict then raging in K a n s a s , the Democrats
were manifestly a i d i n g the effort to fasten the evil of slavery on
those virgin prairies, and i f the election went in their favor that
infamous
effort might possibly succeed.
T h e R e p u b l i c a n party,
with its watchwords of " F r e e S o i l , F r e e M e n , and F r e m o n t , " were
in political array against slavery, and their triumph would at least
check its extension.
T h e i r platform, I said, it is true, does not
come up to my ideal.
T h e y said, " N o extension of s l a v e r y ; "
but my platform w a s , " N o
slavery a n y w h e r e . "
However, as the
party that was l o o k i n g towards liberty, and proposed to strike at
least a partial blow for freedom, it was immeasurably to be preferred to the other party.
A n d I said it was inconceivable to me
how a faithful C h r i s t i a n could support a party that had raised the
black flag of slavery.
I spoke one hour a n d thirty minutes, and the meeting closed
quietly.
I went home that night with the impression that my effort
had not caused the sensation, or produced the effect, that I anticipated.
IJut I s a n k to sleep with the comfortable
consciousness
that I had done what was right, and the consequences might take
care of themselves.

Now, from what had been
told of the lecture, the whole village was anxious to hear i t ; and
would I do them the favor to repeat it, on any evening I might
name, at the large hall in the village which was used as the R e p u b l i can headquarters.
I told them, politely, that I could not do that,
because I had spoken as a minister and not as a politician ; and,
speaking i n my own c h u r c h I was free to say just what I thought;
that if I should speak under Republican auspices I might say some
things they would not indorse,-and I did not wish that the party

After demurring
to the place, on the ground that it was a pity to take the people a
mile away from their homes when a much better place could be had
at their ov/n doors, they finally thanked me for my willingness to
repeat it anywhere, and an evening of the next week was fixed
upon.
T h e next morning posters were up everywhere, announcing
the meeting.
Now I began to see that my first meeting had not fallen fiat.
A new b r a n d was thrown into the political flame, and the excitement seethed with added fury.

B u t it was supposed that there was so much danger, that
a large number of Republicans went early to the church, and surrounded the pulpit, to protect me from assault.
I went to the meeting as calmly as I went to the first, without
anticipating what I saw.

this, every window was open, and crowds were standing at t h e m ,
and there were hundreds who could not get so near.
I began my speech, and went through with the general line of
remark that I h a d tised on the first e v e n i n g ; then I prepared to
close.

But I got h i m to promise that the timber for the frame should be

I happily selected the right k i n d of a man to put i n the stone

H e did his work well, and at a

I took one of the carpenters with me, and went away ten miles
to another saw-mill, and bought a pile of pine boards, some of it
clear and some knotty, that I hoped would be enough of such material as we would need.
I
made a bargain for a large quantity of nails, of sizes, at a
uniform price of $3.75 a hundred pounds; a price then very low,'
but since then the cost of this material has been much reduced.

me, as he did so, by saying, " I have told our folks that I had more

I am inclined here to pause, to note a reflection :
I t is safer
as well as in other ways better to do what you think is right, than
to be guided by the suggestions
of expediency.
Some of my
brethren, who professed to be opposed to slavery themselves, said
to me i n the heat of the battle that I was ruining a l l chances of
building a meeting-house by exasperating the pro-slavery people,
a n d advised that I should at once tone myself down.

it out of m y own power ever to achieve the ultimate purpose I h a d
at h e a r t ; but I d i d not permit this fear to cause me to waver i n
my obedience to my convictions.
B u t as it turned out, my course
was, with one side, a great help to the meeting-house p r o j e c t ; and,
with the other, it secured a good measure of personal respect.
T h e t i m b e r for the frame of the house was delivered on the
ground promptly according to promise.
T h e brother, a carpenter,
who had prepared the schedule of the timber, came to me one
morning, and startled me by saying that he had hastily looked over
the timber, and thought that it was not lit to put into a frame.
I
went with him to the spot, and he pointed out to me some large
sticks, designed for heavy beams, that were " wany-edged "
and
otherwise u n f i t ; and he said the only thing to do was to condemn
the whole lot, make the man who furnished it take it b a c k , and get
a new frame at a good mill.
A n d this was said i n apparent un-
consciousness that such a procedure might ruin the whole enterprise, by involving me in a quarrel with the brother who had furnished the timber as his contribution ; by causing great delay and

the faith of a l l who were interested i n the work.

Of course such senseless talk did not affect me for a moment.
But I engaged h i m , at wages, to take the schedule and overhaul
the t i m b e r ; to check off every defective stick, so that I might
know if any of it would answer the purpose, and report as soon
as possible.
A b o u t two hours after dinner be came to say that if six new
sticks for beams were procured, those s l i c k s whose places they

I had an idea, when I began the work, that it would be wise
for each depaitment to get if I could some man specially adapted
to the work to be done.
A carpenter may be a very good work-
man in finishing a building, who would be almost worthless in
framing it.
I was again exceedingly lucky in hunting up tlie man
who was one of the greatest geniuses in the way of framing a
building ever known.
H e lived twelve miles distant, on his own
farm. T i e did nothing i n the trade except framing; and was i n

I drove to his house, and was happily
able to engage him, at wages which would now seem
low.

T h e edifice was dedicated early in October,— all paid for, but
I was without a penny.
A t the final casting up of the items of
cost, the sum total amounted to $2.50 less than the estimated cost,
$3,000.
I have no disposition to boast of this achievement.
I
had trouble enough and annoyance enough as I labored i n it to
take the conceit all out of me.
But it is worth putting down that
a church edifice was built, by one entirely inexperienced i n such
a n undertaking, and built by days' work, within the am.ount it was
estimated to cost.
I t is proper to say, that among the people of the tow;., more,
perhaps, than by the few members of the church and society for
whom it was built, it was recognized as a work to be placed to my
personal credit.

T h e r e was one trifling circumstance that occurred at Effingham, that had some slight bearing on the question that had already

I would
give a sermon that people would praise, but I could not perceive
that it had any effect on life or character.
I t did not seem that it

I f it only incieased the audience and built up the church,

One afternoon I called on a family in the parish.

Now it had seemed to me that the other woman was the most

So I gave her some " instructions " as to her

T h e next afternoon I took occasion to call upon Mrs. Jones.
I
made some general observations on the happiness of a com-
munity where the people l i v e d i n sympathy and at peace with each
other ; and then went on to say that as there seemed to be a general state of good feeling in the neighborhood at the time, it would
be delightful, if any were at variance, they should take advantage
of the opportunity to compose
their differences.
Upon which
she s a i d , —
" I guess you have been told that M r s . Brown (name fictitious)
and I do not speak to each other."
I said I was not ignorant of i t ; but I thought the matter could
easily be arranged, and felt sure that if M r s . Brown came to talk
it over, she ( M r s . J o n e s ) would meet her more than half way.
" I
have always been r e a d y to do that," she rejoined, with a
pleasant smile.

�TO THE READER.
Are you a Christian? If not, remember: "Now is
the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation"
Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth and the life:"
44
Come unto me
and
I will give
all
you
ye that labor and are heavy laden
rest."
If a Christian, why are you not a member of the
Church? Is your present position, in this respect, the
one that you would desire to see your friends occupy?
All those are welcomed into our fold whom, in the
judgment of charity, we believe that Christ will welcome into his fold above.
If you wish to unite with us, please read our Confession of Faith, Covenant and Rules of Church Government and make your desire known, at once, to the
pastor or any member.
Should you desire to unite
with us by letter from another church your certificate
may be handed to the pastor or any member of the
Church Committee.

FORM OF ADMISSION
ON PROFESSION OF FAITH.
ADDRESS.
Beloved Friends:
assembly
for the
You have now come before this
purpose of confessing your faith in
Lord Jesus Christ; of consecrating yourselves to
the service of God; and of entering into a special
fellowship with this church.
It is a solemn act, but if done without reservation
and in humble dependence upon God's sustaining grace
the
it
will
be a source of great strength and comfort to
you.
That you may unite with us intelligently we ask
vour attention and assent to that form of religious beas the visible bond of
lief which has been adopted
our fellowship.
Hear, then, the Confession of Faith.
We believe:
That the Scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments are given by the inspiration of God, and
infallible revelation to manare the perfect and the only
kind of religious truth and duty. And we believe that
they teach these fundamental doctrines:
That there is but one God A Spirit infinite in all

ernor of all things, existing

Ghost.
That man was created

sinless,
but in conse-
quence of the first transgression all are by nature
without holiness, and alienated from God.
That the sufferings and death of Christ meet all the
of justice, and form the only ground for the

That salvation

and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

That the influences of the Holy Spirit,
gracioush given
which none would truly repent, are
to all.
�7
That tLe distinguishing ordinances of Christ's visible church are Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
That there will be a resurrection of all the dead,
who will be judged according to their acts in life; and
that the wicked will, in the language of Scripture,
'go away into everlasting punishment, but the right4
eous into life eternal."
This you severally profess to believe.
[The ordinance of Baptism will now be administered
to those who have not previously received it.
To those who have been previously baptized, the
minister shall say; having been heretofore baptized
in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost, you now acknowledge that consecration of
yourself to God.]
Attend now to The Covenant. You do now in the
presence of God and this assembly, solemnly avow
the Lord Jehovah, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, to
be the supreme object of your love, and your only
hope of salvation. You also consecrate all that you
are and possess to the service of your Maker and
the good of your fellowmen; and you promise by
the help of God, that henceforth you will endeavor
to walk humbly and uprightly before God and the
world. You do also in an especial manner covenant
yourself with this church, agreeing to submit to its
rules of government and discipline; to attend when
practicable, upon all its ordinances; to seek its peace,
purity and best interests, and to walk with its members in sympathy, toleration, courtesy and sobriety.
In view of such a belief and these promises, [here
the church rises] we, the members of this church,
affectionately receive you into our fellowship, ami
declare you entitled to all the privileges of this church
and a sharer of all its responsibilities and on our
part agee to watch over you with christian sympathy
and forbearance, and to seek your good in all things
while you remain with us.
