OLDEST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 1| Services of Dedication Held at Old Lyme on Saturday and Sunday. After nearly three years of hard and faithful efforts, both on the part of the pastor, the Rev. Edward M. Chapman, Yale, '84, and the members, the First Congregational church of Old Lyme has been rebuilt after a fire, and the preliminary exercises of the dedication of the church were held Saturday | afternoon. The formal dedication took place Sunday. The church is one of | the oldest Congregational churches in the country, anw as declared by an Englishman who visited Old Lyme some years ago as the ideal New Eng- land church, in writing about it in the World's Work. An interesting thing about the re- buliding of this church is the fact that it is a replica of the edifice that was burned down on the night of July 3, 1907, and this was accomplished by Architect Greene of New York, with- out having the use of the drawings of the old church. He was guided en- tirely by the photegraph of teh build- ing that was destroyed, and also by the lines of the old foudnation walls. Except for a change in the yil\asters; A at the base, one who was not aware that the old church was burned would not recognize the church as anything but the edifice that stood on the same site three years ago. The work of building of the church was accom- | plished by generous contributions of members of the church living at Old { Lyme and by others who summer and attend worship there in the summer | season. Many New Haveners who be- long to the summer colony worship in this church, among these being Mr. and Elford P. Trowbridge, Mrs. Ed- ward E. Salisbury, Dr. George Grant! McCurdy, Mr, and Mrs. Frank Trow- bridge, and Prof. Horace L. Wells of Yale u ersity. Many of the summer colony who have not yet taken up their residence | for the season were there Saturday for the dedication of the church. Fellowship Meeting. The exercises Saturday afternoon commenced at 2 o'clock and opened with a service of fellowship conducted by the minister, Rev. E. M. Chap- | man. There was scripture reading | and singing of hymns and then came | an address by the pastor on ‘How we built the church.” He said in part: greet your presence here this | afternoon with congratulations and | with high thanksgiving. The time does not surfice for an extended h torical address; nor can I tell you in | adequate detail how we built the | church. It is my hope rather to say a memorial word about the building which we last three years ago, and then to sketch in the briefest out- line the growth of its successor under whose roof we thank God today. The old church, as we affectionate- ly call it, was probably the fuurth? structure used by this people as its/ place of worship. You wondecr why | I should say “probably The raa~on; is that the first building on Meeting | House Hill, erected as we suppose in | 1668, is a matter of reference rather | than of record. The building of 1869 was almost certainly a second build- ing, but its predecessor which we be- have just said was probably primitive structure, be called a church bunldmz‘ and could not have beyonged to the society because no society existed until 1693, when the present society was organ- ized. But the people had a minister before tha time, the Rev. Moses Noves, who came in 1666. They held service, and as no private dwelling of that primitive day could well have ac- commodated them they almost certain. ly had a public building. The probability is buttressed by a tradition which describes it as a small log house. There was a question also as to where the second house sh stand, and the choice between two #ltes on Meeting House Hill was after pray- er decided by lot. This was on the ‘In- dian trail. In 1708 the society voted to pull down this house and build another into which some of the old material was to be wrought. This third building was also on Meeting House Hill. Burned in 1815. Tn 1815, after serving the community about 75 years, and surviving one fire in 1780, it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground July 3, 1815. A new church to be known as the “old church” was at once planned for. Its site upon which we meet today was fixed by the county court. There is a tradition that plans for the new church came from England. Diligent search has failed to reveal any documentary in support of the tradition. Evidence does exist that the commit- tee studied a number of Connecticut churches and incorporated in their plans considerable suggestions from these. It was provided in the contract to build the steeple with a lightning rod and very similar t¥ those of the brick meeting house in Lebanon. Then the frame was to be put together and made in all respect equal to that of the meeting house in Ellington. This is the church that was burned in the early morning of July 3, 1907, 92 yvears to a day after the destruction nfmus predecessor on Meeting House Hill After the fire the selectmen opened the town hall to us. Tater in the sea- son our Baptist neighbors welcomed us to their church and joined their forces with us for the winter. Meanwhile we had our memorable meeting on the Green on the Sunday after the fire. We had our society’s meeting and appoint- ed our building and our finance com- mittee. Adequate Fire Stops. The committee offer you a building with adequate fire stops, a building which would give firemen every chance to conquer a blaze. In his address Rev. Mr. Chapman named among the donors of gifts to the new church the clock in the tower from the family of Mrs. Richard Gris- wold, the bell from J. N. Brown, organ from Mrs. Lane and furnishing of th church from C. H. Ludington, M Katherine Ludington, Mrs. Eliza Mor- ley and other descendants of Joseph L. Peck, the first deacon of the church. Other short addresses were made by Rev. L. M. itr&yer and by Rev. F. S, Muore. The service dedication began s-nd.-.y -wrmtt 11 o'clock and the new church was G. Atkins, D.
