37 COVENANT TO FORM NEW CHURCH Little Meeting House on Liberty Hill, Lebanon, To Be Their | Church Home—Sevéral Denominations Represented and | Eleven Join on Confession of Faith—Fruition of Hopes and Labors of Venerable Exeter Pastor—He Delivers the e A rather unusual spectacle for well churched Connecticut was witnessed and a memorable event in the history of the little settlement of Liberty Hill occurred when on the afternoon of ‘Thursday, Dec. 12th, thirty-seven peo- ple stood up and covenanted together to form a mew church. Twenty-six of ‘these entered the new church by letter from other churches, while eleven en- tered on confession of faith. This event is only a chapter in the history of the little meeting house on Liverty Hill. The hoube of worship was built by an association of men, each possessing shares in the property. Twenis-two years ago the Liberty Hill religious soclety was organized, and since that date the people have m: talned unbrokenly weekly religious | service in that hqpse, m('l\l«lh’\g‘ preaching, Sunday schdol and young | meeting. There has never | ettled minister, but the work conducted for the most part on of the Exeter church. For the People Near By. Because of the depletion of the P: testant population bout the Exeter church, that church dwindled from | a large church to a mere handful, and most of the active members live near the Liberty Hill meeting house. The Tesult has been that agitation was started some time ago to form.a new church at Liberty Hill. This move- ment gained as it was found that there were many members of other Lebanon churches in the village clustering about the Liberty Hili church who were three 1o four miles from their own churches. activities of the Rev. A. J. Park of together with John Clark of Liberty Hill and others, these elements were all fused together into one church. Recommended to New London Confer- ence.
