CONFESSION OP FAITH.

'• Wliat shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits
toward me ? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon
the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now
in the presence of all His people."

■■ \Vh()soe\er therefore^ shall confess Me beforf men. him
will 1 confess also before My Father which is in heaven."

•■ For witli the heart man believeth unto rijihtecuisness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

Dearly beloved, called of (io l to be His children through
Jesus Christ, our Lord, you are here, that in the presence of
(tod and his people, you may enter into the fellowship and
communion of His church. You do trul}' repent of your sins :
you heartily receive Jesus Christ as your crucified Savior and
risen Lord : you consecrate yourselves unto (Jod. and your life
to His service ; you accept His Word as your law, and His
Spirit as your Comforter and Guide, and trustino- in His gTace
to confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, you promise tj
do God's holy will, and to walk with His church in the truth
and peace of our Lord Jesu.s Christ.

Accepting.according to the measure of your understanding
of it, the system of Cliristian truth held by the churches of
our faith and order, and by this church into whose fellowship
you now enter, you join with ancient saints, with the church
throughout the world, and with us your felhnv-believers, in
humbly and heartily confessing 3'our faith in the gospel, saying :
I believe in God the Father Almighty, makerof heaven and
earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord ; who was
conceived by the Holy Ghost : born of the Virgin Mary; suf-
fered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried ;
the third dav He rose from the dead : He ascended into heav-

14

en : and sitteth at the rijiht hand of God. the Father Almi<ih-
ty ; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the
dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost : the holy catholic church ;
the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins: the resur-
rection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Then should baptism be administered to those who havf' not been bap-
tized. Then should those rise who would unite witli tlie churcli by hotter.
To them the minister should say :

Confessing the Lord whom we unitedly worship, you do
now renew your self-consecration, and join with us cordially in
this our Christian faith and covenant.

The members of the Church present should rise.

We welcome you into our fellowship. We promise to watch
over you with Christian love. God grant that, loving and being
loved, serving and being served, blessing and being blessed, we
may be i^repared, while we dwell together on earth, for the
perfect communion of the saints in heaven.

"Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead
our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep. throui;h the
blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in i'V(M'v
good work to do His Avill, working in you that which is wt'll
pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to wliom be glory
forever and ever. Amen."

STATEMENT OF DOCTRINE.

I. We believe in one God. the Father Almiiihty. Maker of
lieaven and earth, and of all thiiiii's visible and invisible ;

And in Jesns Christ. His only Son, our Lord, who is of one
substance with the Father: by whom all things were made;

And in tlie Holy Spirit, the Lord and (Jiver of life, who is
sent from the Father and Son, and who together with the
Father and Son is worshiped and glorified.

n. We believe that the providence of God, by which He
executes His eternal purposes in the government of the world,
is in and over all events; yet so that the freedom and re.sponsi-
bility of man are not impaired, and sin is the act of the creat-
ure alone.

in. We believe that man was made in the image of God:
that he might know, love, and obey God, and enjoy him for-
ever: that our first parents by disobedience fell under the
righteous condemnation of God; and that all men are so alien-
ated from God that there is no salvation from the guilt and
power of sin except through God's redeeming grace.

IV. We believe that God would have all men return to
Him: that to this end He has made Himself known, not onl.y
through the works of nature, the course of His providence, and the
consciences of men, but also through supernatural revelations
made especially to a chosen people, and above all, when the
fulness of time was come, through Jesus Christ, His Son.

V. AVe believe that the ScriiJtures of the Old and Xew
Testaments are the record of God's revelation of Himself in the
work of redemption; that they were written by men under the
special guidance of the Holy Spirit; that they are able to make
wise unto salvation: and that they constittite the autlnn-itative
standard by which religious teaciiing and human conduct are
to be regulated and judged.

VI. We believe that the love of God to sinful men has
found its highest expression in the redemptive work of His Son,
who became man, uniting his divine nature with our human
nature in one person: who was tempted like other men, yet

12

without sin; wIki i)y His huuiilialioii. His 1h)1_\ ol^edieiicc. His
sutteriiijis. His death on the cross, and His resurrection, became
a perfect Redeemer: whose sacrifice of Himself for the sins of
the world declares the righteousness of God. and is the sole and
suflHcient ground of forii'iveness and reconciliation with Him.

VH. We believe that Jesus Christ, after He had risen from
the dead, ascended into heaven, where, as the one Mediator
between God and man. He carries forward His work of saving
men; that He sends the Holy Spirit to convict them of sin, and
to lead them to repentance and faith, and that those who
through renewing grace turn to righteousness, and trust in
Jesus (.'hrist as their Redeemer, receive for His sake the for-
giveness of their sins, and are made the children of (Jod.

Vni. AVe belie\e that those who are thus regenerated and
justified, grow in sanctified character through fellowship with
Christ, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and obedience to the
trutli; that a holy life is the fruit and evidence of saving faith:
and that the believer's hope of continuance in such a life is in
the preserving grace of (Jod

IX. ^\e believe that Jesus Christ came to establish among
men the kingdom of God, the reign of truth and love, right-
eousness and peace; that to Jesus Christ, the Hea 1 of this
kingdom. Christians are directly responsible in faith aiul con-
duct: and that to Him all have immediate access without med-
iatorial or priestly intervention.

X. We believe that the Church of Christ, invisible and
spiritual, comprises all true believers, whose duty it is to asso-
ciate themselves in churches for the maintenance of wor.diip.
for the promotion of spiritual growth and fellowship, and tor
the conversion of men; that these churches, under tlie guidance
of the Holy Scriptures and in fellowship with one another, may
determine — each f<n" itself— th.eir organization, statements of be-
lief, and forms of worship, may appoint and set apart their own
ministers, and should co-operate in the work whicii Christ has
committed to them for the furtherance of the (Jospel througout
the world.

XI. We belie\"e in the obscrNance of the Lord's Day, as a
day o( holy rest and worship; in the ministry of the Word; and
in the two sacraments which Christ has appointed for His
church; baptism, to be administered to believers and their
children, as the sign of cleansinii' from sin, of union to Christ,
and of the impartation of the Holv Spirit; and the Lord's Sup-
per, as a symbol of His atoning death, a seal of its efficacy,
and a means whereby he confirms and strengthens the spiritual
union and communion of believers Mith Himself.

XII ^Ve believe in the ultimate prevalence of the king-
(U)m of Christ over all the earth; in the glorious appearing of
the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; in the resurrection
of the dead: and in a tinal judgment, the issues of which are
everlasting punishment and everhisting life.

Historical Sketch.

^pHE history of this church begins with the first settlers
^1^ at Saybrook Point. The first services are supposed
to have been held in the " Great Hall " of the Fort.
The first minister came with Col. Winthrop, in 1635, or
the spring of 1636. There is no evidence of any organi-
zation of the church under the first two ministers. Col.
Fenwick brought his wife to Saybrook in 1639, and she
joined Rev. Thomas Hooker's church in Hartford; and
it was there, also, that Lady Fenwick carried their child
for baptism. We have proof of the existence of an orga-
nized church in 1646, in the ordination of a pastor.
About this time was reared the first house of worship on
Saybrook Point. A new meeting house was finished in
1 68 1, and at a town meeting it was determined that it
should " stand near about the place of the old meeting
house."* The third house of worship was built on the
green, a mile or more west, in 1726. It was taken down
in 1840, when the present house was built on the opposite
side of Main street. The fourth and present house of
worship has, within a few years, been improved, and now
contains an audience room of convenience and beauty.
This church has given largely of itself in the formation
of other churches. The greatest sacrifice it was com-
pelled to make was in 1660, when the greater part of the
church removed to Norwich. Sixty-five years later the
parish had grown to such an extent that there was formed

* See Wm. B. Tully's account, in History of Middlesex County, to whicii I am
indebted more than to any other source for the facts in this Sketch.

4 HISTORICAL SKETCH.

a new church in Centerbrook; and one year after, another
in Westbrook; and sixteen years later the church in
Chester was organized. These changes not only reduced
the limits of the parish, but greatly reduced the member-
ship of the original church. But, after all these losses,
it still continued to advance, and even flourish. These
facts explain some of the figures below, in connection
with ministerial service. They also testify to God's care
of his people.

The first minister-was Rev. John Higginson, son of
Rev. Francis Higginson, of Salem, Mass. He came early
to Saybrook Point, perhaps with Mr. Winthrop, in
November, 1635. It appears from Gardner's narrative
that he was certainly at the Fort in the spring of 1637.
He removed from Saybrook in 1643. It was under his
ministry that the church had its real beginning. That he
laid good foundations maybe inferred from the fact that,
succeeding his father at Salem, he afterwards became
eminently useful as a preacher and writer. Nor did he
forget his first charge. Among his publications was a
volume of sermons, dedicated to the people of Saybrook,
Guilford, and Salem, to whom he had ministered.

1643-1645.
The second minister was Rev. Thomas Peters, an
ejected Puritan clergyman from Cornwall, England. He
left Saybrook in 1645, to assist Gov. Winthrop in found-
ing New London.

1646-1660.
The third minister was Rev. James Fitch. He was
born at Poking, Essex Co., England, Dec. 24, 1622. The
settlement was increased by the arrival of a number of
families from Hartford at the same time. He was or-
dained in the presence of the Rev. Thomas Hooker of
Hartford, at Saybrook, in 1646. The imposition of

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 5

hands was by two of the brethren appointed by the
church. The church records previous to 1741 are lost.
It is supposed, however, that the first house of worship
was put up at this time. In 164S there were forty-three
proprietors in town. Mr. Fitch labored with a devoted
people for fourteen years, and then removed to Norwich.
He left with reluctance, and only from a sense of duty,
after much prayer, to follow the majority of his church.
While at Saybrook, he trained several young men for the
ministry.

1660-1665.
The fourth minister was Rev. Jeremiah Peck. He
came soon after Mr. Fitch left. Very little is known of
him. The town records show that he bought eight acres
of land in the town plat, and built a house thereon, and
certain privileges were granted on condition of his re-
maining five years. This was a period of weakness and
discouragement to the church; and just how long a
period Mr. Peck labored before his resignation is not
clear. But it was before, or near, the beginning of 1665
that he resigned.

1665-1709.
Rev. Thomas Buckingham was the fifth minister. He
commenogd preaching in Saybrook, in his nineteenth
year, early in 1665. He preached five years before his
ordination, which occurred in 1670. He died after a
ministry of forty-four years, April i, 1709, in the 63d
year of his age. Several important events occurred dur-
ing his ministry. The second house of worship was put
B up, as above stated. The college, afterwards called Yale
College, held its first commencement in Saybrook, Sept.
13, 1702. Six young men received their degrees, and all

■ became ministers of the gospel. Rev. Mr. Buckingham

■ was one of the founders and trustees of this institution.

L

6 HISTORICAL SKETCH.

For several years he acted as general superintendent, the
rectors living in other towns. He was also one of the
moderators of the synod convened at Saybrook in 1708,
that formed the " Saybrook Platform," which afterwards
became the ecclesiastical constitution of the churches of
Connecticut.

1710-1732.

Rev. Azariah Mather, descending from a distinguished
ancestry, was the sixth minister and third ordained pastor.
He was son of Rev. Samuel Mather of Windsor, Conn.
He was ordained in Saybrook in 17 10. He had been a
tutor in the college, and was distinguished for his knowl-
edge of the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. He was dis-
missed in 1732. It was during his ministry that the col-
lege was removed to New Haven, in 1717. The church
in Centerbrook was organized in 1725, and the church
in Westbrook in 1726. At the time of his dismissal the
church numbered 48, of whom 15 were males. Notwith-
standing the diminished number, the third meeting house
was built in 1726. Its new location had become a neces-
sity.

1736-1783.

Rev. William Hart was ordained Nov. 17, 1736. He
was the son of Rev. John Hart of East Guilford. " He
was much respected by the ministry and esteemed and
beloved by a united people." He was also distinguished
as a writer, engaging vigorously in the doctrinal contro-
versies of those days. In 1783 there were 69 communi-
cants in the church. He died July 11, 17S4, in the 48th
year of his ministry. In the inscription upon his monu-
ment are these words: "Wise in council, mighty in the
scriptures, instructive in his life and ministry."

1783-1844.
Rev. Frederick William Hotchkiss was ordained colle-
giate pastor with Rev. Mr. Hart, Sept. 23, 1783. He was

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 7

born in New Haven, Oct. 30, 1762; graduated from Yale
College, 1778. He commenced preaching in Saybrook
in November, 1782. A colleague was settled with him in
1838. He died March 31, 1844, in the 62d year of his
ministry. Copies of his fiftieth and sixtieth anniversary
sermons are still treasured by aged members of this
church, with pious care. He was greatly respected and
loved by all, even the youngest of his flock. He car-
ried on a private school, and also fitted young men for
college. At the close of his labors, his church contained
330 members. Six hundred and thirty-two names were
added to the church list during the fifty-five years in
which he was without an associate. It is interesting to
note in this connection that Father Hotchkiss was a
hearty believer in revivals of religion. Five or six such
seasons of revival were enjoyed during his ministry.

1838-1851.
Rev. Ethan Barrows Crane was ordained as the col-
league of Mr. Hotchkiss, June 27th, 1838. He was born
in Troy, N. Y., June 15, 181 1; graduated from Union
College in 1832, and the Theological Seminary at Auburn
in 1836. After thirteen years of service he was dismissed
in 1851. During his pastorate, 118 were added to the
church, — 82 by profession.

1851-1852.
Rev. James Beattie, a native of Scotland, served the
church, as stated supply, from Oct. i, 1S51, to Nov. i,
1852. A number of persons were brought into the
church on profession during his ministry. Most of his
ministerial life was spent in New Orleans. He spent the
last year of his life at Saybrook Point, where he died
June 2d, 1885, and where he was buried in the old ceme-
tery.

8 HISTORICAL SKETCH.

1853-1871.
Rev. Salmon McCall was ordained pastor Dec. 7, 1853.
He was born at Lebanon, Conn., March 17, 1826, and
graduated from Yale College, July, 1851. He preached
the gospel to this people for eighteen years, and resigned
his pastorate in 187 1. During his ministry 134 members
were added to the church.

1872-1876.
Rev. Francis N. Zabriskie, D. D., was installed pastor
April 17, 1872. He was born in New York city, April
29, 1832; graduated at the University of the City of New
York, and at the Theological Seminary of the Reformed
Church at New Brunswick, N. J. He closed his pastorate
Sept. 15, 1876. The chapel, built near the church, was
opened July 9, 1875. During his ministry, 89 members
were added to the church.

1876-1881.
Rev. Richard B. Thurston was called to the pastorate
(though his installation did not occur), and began his
ministry Dec. 31, 1S76. He was born in Charlestown,
Mass., June 28, 181 9; graduated at Bowdoin College,
September, 1841, and at the Theological Seminary,
Bangor, Mq., August, 1846. During his ministry, which
closed June 19, 1881, the church received 36 members.

1881-1884.
Rev. Wilson D. Sexton commenced preaching June 26,
1 88 1, and was ordained and installed as pastor August 3,
1 88 1. He was born at Poland, Ohio, May 30, 1853;
graduated from Western Reserve College, Ohio, 1877,
and at Union Theological Seminary, New York, 1881.
Receiving an urgent call from a Presbyterian Church in

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 9

his native State, he resigned, Nov. i, 1884, and preached
his last sermon Dec. 7, 1884.

1885.
Rev. Bernard Paine was called to the present pastorate
in April, 1885.

FORM FOR RECEPTION OF MEMBERS.

FORM FOR RECEPTION OF MEMBERS.

^ear Friends:

You are here before God and many witnesses to
confess the Lord Jesus Christ. We trust that you have
well considered the nature and blessedness of this Con-
fession, and that you make it with a deep sense of your
own unworthiness. Yet you stand here at Christ's bid-
ding, and in his strength you perform this act. If faith-
ful, what you now declare will be your eternal joy in
heaven. With fixed purpose of heart, put all your trust
in God, and his rich grace will keep and bless you.

1. We believe in one God, ever living and true, an
infinite and perfect being, the first cause and last end of
all things, who is the Father of our spirits and the franier
of our bodies.

2. AVe believe that the Bible is the word of God, given
by divine inspiration to be the only rule of faith and
practice.

3. We believe that God is revealed in the scriptures
as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and that
these three are one God, and in all divine attributes
equal.

12 FORM FOR RECEPTION OF MEMBERS.

4. We believe that our first parents were created up-
right; that they fell from their original state by disobe-
dience, and that all their posterity are not only prone to
sin, but do become sinful and guilty before God.

5. We believe in the glorious mission of the Son of
God from heaven to save the lost; that Jesus Christ was
the Word made flesh who dwelt among us; that he was
holy, and taught with Divine Authority; that he suffered
in our stead, the just for the unjust; that he died to atone
for our sins, and take them away; that he rose from the
dead and ascended to heaven, where he ever liveth to
make intercession for us.

6. We believe the grace of God is offered to all; and
that whoever turns from his sins and heartily trusts and
follows the Lord Jesus, is freely pardoned, justified, and
made an heir of heaven, while he who remains in unbe-
lief will die in his sins without hope.

7. We believe it is the work of the Holy Spirit to
convict of sin, and draw the sinner to Christ; to witness
in the believer that he is a child of God; to guide him in
the way of truth; to strengthen him in duty, comfort him
in trial, and make him perfect in love.

8. We believe in the resurrection of the dead; a final
and general judgment, in which God shall judge the
world in righteousness by Jesus Christ, when the wicked
shall go away into eternal punishment and the righteous
into the blessedness of eternal life.

Do you sincerely unite with us in this Confession of
Faith?

You do now avow yourselves the disciples of the Lord
Jesus Christ. You declare the Father, the Son, and the

FORM FOR RECEPTION OF MEMBERS. I3

Holy Spirit to be your God, and the Holy Scriptures to
be the rule of your faith and guide of your conduct; you
give yourselves up to God to be wholly his, to be gov-
erned by his laws, to be guided by his spirit, to be dis-
posed of by his providence, and to be saved by his
grace in the way of the gospel; and you promise to re-
ceive in meekness and love the pure doctrines of the
gospel, and, through the promised grace of God, to live
henceforth as becometh the followers of Christ.

Do you thus profess and promise, and cordially con-
sent to God's Covenant of Grace ?

(The ordinance of baptism will here be administered
to those who have not received the rite.)

To those previously baptized:

You who were baptized in childhood do now grate-
fully accept the same, having confirmed the covenant
which was then made for you.

(Those who unite by letter will rise and enter into
covenant with the church.)

And now, having confessed your faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, you do enter into covenant with His
Church, and more especially with this Church. You
promise to seek earnestly its purity, peace, and edifica-
tion; to attend here upon the public worship of God and
the ordinances of the gospel; to share in its labors, de-
fend its faith, and uphold its discipline; to love and care
for its members as your brethren, and to receive from
them all needful care and admonition; and to cooperate
with them in building up here, and throughout the world,
the kingdom of our Lord.

Do you thus covenant and promise ?

14 FORM FOR RECEPTION OF MEMBERS.

(The members of this Church will here rise.)
We, then, give you our Christian welcome. We affec-

(The right hand of fellowship may here be given.)
We offer you the watchful care, kindness and love of
the Christian household. We promise on our part, to
give you our sympathies and prayers, to walk with you
in sorrow and in joy as Christian friends, holding your
peace and welfare as our own, to seek advice and
strength from you, and to give you in turn the counsel
and aid which you may ask; and in all ways, as far as in
us lies, to seek your growth in knowledge and grace,
your sweet experience of the love of Christ, your joy in
his service, and your perfect meetness for the heavenly
home. May the Good Shepherd ever keep you, perfect-
ing you in every good work, through Jesus Christ, to
whom be glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
