PREFACE 1931887 MANUALS of the First Church of Christ in Milford were published in 1844, 1855, 1867, 1873, 1887, and 1922; pastorates of Coe, Brace, Hubbell, Lyman, Calhoun and

Briggs; Manuals of Plymouth Church were published in 1855, 1861, 1874, and 1908; in the pastorates of Scofield, Harvey, Griffin, and Meserve. A book of 190 pages was published in 1890, containing the proceedings of the 250th Anniversary, held August 25, 1889. In that book are two historical sermons; one for the occasion, by Rev. Elijah Baldwin; the other by a former pastor, Rev. J. A. Biddle, preached in the Church August 9, 1876, but never before published. Memorial tablets for six former pastors; Prudden, Newton, Andrew, Whittelsey, Pinneo and Brace, were presented. That volume contains the presentation addresses. It also includes “The Present Condition of the Church,” and other items of historical interest. Following the Tercentenary Celebra¬ tion in August, 1939, a thirty-two page book was published, with proceedings, photographs, historical sermon and other articles.

This is the first Manual published since the Churches were united. Beside the usual historical and other items which make up a Church Manual this one contains a brief biography of each of the thirty-seven pastors. The 1,322 members are listed in alpha¬ betical order, with the year they united with the Church, and whether by Confession of Faith or by Letter. A great deal of research and painstaking work have gone into the preparation of this volume. With so many names and such a variety of items, mistakes are sure to occur. When such errors and omissions are discovered please report them to the Church Office for correction.

Man has no higher privilege than to become a true member of the Christian Church. It is a real challenge to be a member of this old, historic Church. Each member should know something of its background, and of the devoted men and women of ten generations, who by faith transformed the wilderness, endured hardness by great sacrifice, and conquered gloriously. They are now members of the Church Triumphant. With humility, faith and courage let us gird on the whole armor of God, and try to

^ do for our time what they did for theirs. N ' R. M. H.

HISTORICAL SKETCH THE First Church of Christ in Milford was organized in New Haven, August 22, 1639. The Reverend Peter Prudden led a company of fifteen families from England

to these shores. They arrived in Boston on July 3, 1637. That summer and the next winter were spent with friends in Dedham. The following spring they joined the Davenport-Eaton Company and sailed to what is now New Haven with the founders of the New Haven Colony. Their first religious services on Connecticut soil were held under an oak tree on Sunday, April 25, 1638. The Reverend John Davenport preached in the morning. The Reverend Peter Prudden preached in the afternoon from the text: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”

Mr. Prudden and his party desired a church and a colony of their own. Land was purchased February 12, 1639. No attempt was made at settlement that winter. Other families joined them until the party consisted of fifty-four heads of families and about two hundred persons.

Before moving to Wepawaug they organized their church. It was gathered around seven of their best men whom they called “pillars.” The “seven pillars” were the Reverend Peter Prudden, William Fowler, Edmund Tapp, Zachariah Whitman, John Astwood, Thomas Buckingham and Thomas Welch.

Their “Covenant” with God and with one another was written by Peter Prudden and is preserved in his handwriting in the first book of Church Records. The government of the town was a Theocracy, a little republic independent of all outside authority. God was their only King and the Bible their only law book. The franchise and the right to hold office were limited to church members. This system was changed when Milford merged with the Connecticut Colony in 1665, and property rather than church membership became the basis of citizenship.

The Milford Church has been one of the largest and most im¬ portant in the state through three centuries. The early pastors were men of exceptional ability. Two were educated in Cam¬ bridge, England; one was graduated from Harvard, one from Princeton, one from Dartmouth, one from Oberlin, three from

8 CHURCH OF CHRIST MILFORD

Amherst, and fourteen from Yale. One was tutor in Harvard, four were tutors in Yale, two were members of the Yale Cor¬ poration, and one was acting president of Yale for fourteen years.

The church was divided in 1741, following the great revival of Edwards and Whitefield. The controversy of the “Old Lights” and the “New Lights” caused a division in many of the older churches of Connecticut. It was one of those things which was inevitable, and for which no one is to be blamed. It resulted in great good to the Kingdom. Plymouth Church was formed at that time, beginning its 185 years of honorable history, and its long line of godly ministers. The first pastor was Job Prudden, great grandson of the founder and first pastor of Milford. The occasion for the division had long been forgotten. There was a growing feeling of good will between the two churches. It was inevitable that they should become one church again. They were reunited in 1926; and the wholesome stream of spiritual life flows on.

FROM EARLY RECORDS THE founding of the Church is mentioned in Mather’s

Magnalia: “There were then two famous Churches

gathered in New Haven—gathered in two days, one

following upon the other—Mr. Davenport’s and Mr. Prudden’s,

and with this one singular circumstance, that a mighty barn

was the place wherein the duties of that Solemnity were at¬

tended.”

The only authentic account of that transaction is in the Church

Records in Peter Prudden’s handwriting:

“The Church of Christ in Milford was first gathered at New Haven upon August 22, 1639. The persons first joining in the foundation were those whose names are next under mentioned: Peter Prudden, William Fowler, Edmund Tapp, Zachariah Whitman, John Astwood, Thomas Buckingham, Thomas Welch.”

THE COVENANT

“The church covenant yt they entered unto is hereunder written: Since it hath pleased ye Lord of his infinite goodness and free grace to call us (a company of poor miserable wretches) out of ye world unto fellowship with himselfe in Jesus Christ, and to bestow himself upon us by an everlasting covenant of his free grace sealed in ye blood of Jesus Christ, to be our God, and to make and avouch us to be his people, and hath undertaken to circumcise our hearts, that we may love ye Lord our God, and feare him, and walk in his wayes: we, therefore, do, this day, avouch ye Lord to be our God, even Jehovah, the only true God, the Almighty maker of heaven and earth, the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ; and wee do this day enter into a holy covenant with ye Lord, and one with another, through ye grace and help of Christ strengthening us (without whom we can do nothing), to deny ourselves and all ungodliness and worldly lusts, and all corruptions and pollutions, wherein in any sort wee have walked. And do give up ourselves wholly to ye Lord Jesus Christ, to be taught and governed by him in all relations, conditions and conversations in this world; avouching him to be our only prophet and teacher, our only Priest and Propitiation, our only King and Lawgiver. And we do further bind ourselves, in his strength, to walk before him, in all professed subjection to all his holy ordinances,

io CHURCH OF CHRIST MILFORD

according to ye rule of the gospel, and also to walk together with his church and ye members thereof in all brotherly love and holy watch¬ fulness to ye mutual building up one another in Fayth and Love. All which ye Lord help us to perform, through his rich grace in Christ, according to his Covenant. Amen.”

MR. PRUDDEn’s ORDINATION

“I, Peter Prudden, was called to the office of a pastour in this church, and ordayned at New Haven, by Zachariah Whitman, William Fowler, Edmund Tapp, designed by ye church to that work; Zacha¬ riah Whitman being ye moderator for that meeting, in a day of solemn humiliation, upon ye 2nd Wednesday in April, 1640, being, I remember, ye 8th day of ye month.”

PLYMOUTH CHURCH—THE BEGINNINGS

The following is taken from the manual edited by Rev. William

C. Scofield, in 1855, “principally made up of extracts from the

ancient records of the Church and Society.”

In the year of our Lord, 1737, on account of the advanced age of Rev. Samuel Andrew, who had, for more than half a century, been intrusted with the pastoral care of what is now the First Church and Society in Milford, “the Rev. Samuel Whittlesey was by a majority of votes invited, called and settled there in opposition to a great number, though a minor part, which laid the foundation of much discord and confusion in the church. The principal objection against Mr. Whittlesey was a suspicion of his being in the Arminian Scheme, and the brethren opposed to his settlement obtaining no satisfaction as to that matter, vigorously prosecuted their opposition to the time of his settlement.” At length they consented to his ordination on condition, that, if at the end of six months they remained dissatisfied still, they should “have the liberty of another chosen by them, to be settled in the ministry as a colleague to Mr. Whittlesey.”

But Mr. W. “did so well guard his ministrations during the six months as not to lie open to any exceptions of weight. Hoping that he would so continue, they did not move for a compliance with the agreement afore mentioned.” It was not long however before he gave them uneasiness, by reason of his “delivering from the desk such doctrines as they did not believe were agreeable to the Word of God, neither were embraced by their pious predecessors, the Fathers of England.”

Having sought to bring their grievances before the Church, but

CHURCH OF CHRIST MILFORD 11

failing through the refusal of Mr. Whittlesey to lay the matter before that body, “two of their number waited on the Rev. Association of that County in their session at Durham, in May, 1740, for advice and counsel in their distressed and uneasy circumstances, and for answer were told they had no advice to give. Thus did their Reverend Fathers in the ministry slight them in their distressed and afflicted state.”

Afterward, that no way for relief might be left unattempted, one of their number in the Annual Town Meeting, in Dec. 1740, made a moving speech, representing the uneasy state many were in under the present ministry, desiring the Town might take into consideration and attempt some relief, but to no purpose. The Hon. Jonathan Law, Esq., Moderator of the meeting, appearing not pleased with it, and putting it aside.

Every attempt for relief from the Church, the Association, and the Town failing, they were obliged to seek some other method for obtaining it. After having been so unsuccessful in their attempt for relief under the Constitution of these churches, they were naturally and necessarily led to look out for a Constitution of Church Govern¬ ment that might be more agreeable to the Word of God, than they had reason to think that was, under which they had found it so difficult to obtain relief in their distresses. Therefore they were induced to dissent from that Constitution, and to declare for the excellent es tablishment of the Church of Scotland.

The following is the form of the declaration:

“We, the subscribers in the Town of Milford and in the Colony of Connecticut, do hereby testify and declare ourselves to be of the Presbyterian profession, according to the established religion of that part of Great Britain called Scotland; and whereas, by an act made in the first year of King William and Queen Mary, liberty is granted to such as shall soberly dissent from the religion established by law, of worshipping God according to their own consciences, which said act is by an act of this Colony incorporated into the Laws of this Colony;—We therefore, that we may enjoy the privileges granted in said act, do hereby appoint the following gentlemen or any five of them, in our names to apply to the next County Court, there to per¬ form what in the act is required.”

[Here follow the names of the Committee.] “And we do hereby promise each other that we will do the utmost in our power to promote and advance the work and design we are engaging ourselves in, as witness our hands: Milford, 5th day of January, 1741.

Then follows a bitter controversy and litigation.

The doors of the Meeting House were closed against five Evangelical preachers this year, (1743), and one of them preached on the door steps to an assembly of a thousand people.

The General Assembly in 1750, released them from taxes to the First Society, and granted them certain parish privileges. But they were not incorporated with ample privileges as a society till May, 1760.

Their first legal meeting was held 29th October, 1760. The As¬ sembly, in May, 1770, allowed them their proportion of the funds for the support of the Gospel.

THE NAME CHANGED

The following resolution was passed by the General Assembly

at the May session, 1859:

Resolved by this Assembly, That the name of the Second Ecclesias¬ tical Society of Milford be and hereby is changed to Plymouth Society of Milford, by which name it shall be hereafter known and called, and shall be vested with all the rights, privileges and immunities now possessed by said Second Ecclesiastical Society of Milford.

CLERKS

1944

The early records of both First and Plymouth Churches were

kept by the pastors. Even after the position of clerk was es¬

tablished, the First Church by vote on January 4, 1865 designated

the pastor as clerk, ex officio. Consequently, except between

pastorates, the ministers of the First Church served as clerks

until 1882.

REVIVALS

For many years after the formation of the church, additions

to it were more frequent, but in smaller numbers at a time, than

in later years. In no case were there more than fifteen added in

one year, or more than twelve at one time. From 1733 to 1770

accessions became more frequent, but this is to be attributed

chiefly to the plan of receiving members on the half-way cove¬

nant. In the early part of Mr. Whittelsey’s ministry, commenced

a general revival of religion throughout the New England

Churches; and it is probable that of the unusual number ad¬

mitted to this church in the years 1738 and 1741, a large pro¬

portion were fruits of that revival.

The following table shows what years have been distinguished

REVIVALS IN PLYMOUTH CHURCH

The Manual of Plymouth Church edited by Rev. Mr. Meserve in 1908 gives an interesting summary of Revivals in that church.

“It is known that the church enjoyed several revival seasons previous to the commencement of the present century, but the first on record occurred under the ministry of the Rev. David Tullar, and is thus noticed: ‘This year (1798) we have had a great harvest of souls; nearly seventy were added to the church. The awakening began to make its appearance in August 1798, and gradually increased from that time until the spring follow¬ ing. The subjects of the work were generally seized with a great sense of their wickedness, and so continued until they hopefully humbled, and were brought to the knowledge of the truth. A remarkable reformation in family prayer appears to have at¬ tended the work.’ ”

In 1816, under the ministry of Rev. Caleb Pitkin, twenty-five persons were added to the church on profession of their faith, indicating a more than usual attention to the subject of religion.

In 1821, as the fruits of a revival under the ministry of Rev. Jehu Clark, forty united with the church.

Under the ministry of Rev. Asa M. Train, the church enjoyed five seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. In the year 1828, there were added to the church forty members, in 1831, twenty-three, in 1832, fifty; in 1835, twenty-seven; in 1843, eighty-three.

As a result of Rev. J. M. Sherwood’s labors in 1852, twenty persons were added.

About the first of September 1854, under the ministry of Rev. Wm. C. Scofield, the Spirit of God began to move upon the hearts of his people, leading them to humiliation, fasting, con¬ fession of sin and prayer. Sinners were soon heard inquiring, “What shall I do to be saved?” The work continued for about eight months. As the fruits of the revival eighty persons made a public profession of their faith in Christ, by uniting with this church.

In the month of November, 1865, special religious interest began to develop in the hearts of the impenitent, the people of God having been stirred to unusual earnestness in prayer for a blessing. Sixty souls were added to the church on confession


of their faith, in several subsequent communion seasons, as the result of this awakening.

Sixteen more united with us, on confession, in September, 1868, following the work of grace in connection with the labors of Rev. J. D. Potter, in May of that year.

Twenty more converts were added in the spring of 1874, the Rev. R. S. Underwood having assisted in the work.

During the ministry of Rev. Chas. E. Upson the Salvation Army labored in Milford. As a result, in the spring of 1898 more than forty joined the church on confession and by letter.

Rev. Howard C. Meserve received sixty-two new members into the church and baptized fifteen.

Rev. Clarence Reidenbach received one hundred new members and baptized twenty-seven.

Rev. Frank E. Carlson received thirty-one new members and baptized eight.

Rev. Peter Prudden, son of Robert and Mildred Prudden, was born in Luton, Bedfordshire, England, December 1601. His ancestry is traced back seven generations to John Prudden (born about 1416) of Kings Walden, Hertfordshire. Education: Mer¬ chant Tailor’s School, London 1616-17; Emmanuel College, Cambridge 1620. Married (before 1633) Jane> daughter of William Thomas, of Monmouth County, Wales. “God marvel¬ ously blessed his ministry in England unto many about Here¬ fordshire and near Wales.” Arrived in Boston, June 26, 1637, with fifteen families from Hertford, Buckingham, and adjoining counties. Preached in New Haven and Wethersfield, 1638. He came to this country a widower with no children. He married (second) Joanna Boyse, of Roxbury, Mass., daughter of the Rev. John Boyse, of Halifax County, York, England. He was founder and first pastor of this Church which was organized August 22, 1639. He died July, 1656.

I am sure ’tis a blessed child of God whose name is before us; who besides his other excellent qualities was noted for a singular faculty to sweeten, compose and qualify exasperated spirits and stop or heal all contentions —whence it was that his Town of Milford enjoyed peace with truth all his days. He continued an able and faithful servant of the Churches until the fifty-sixth year of his age; when his death was felt as the fall of a pillar which made the whole fabrick to shake.

FORM FOR THE RECEPTION OF NEW MEMBERS INTO THIS CHURCH

TO PERSONS RECEIVED ON CONFESSION OF FAITH

Dearly beloved, called of God to be His children through Jesus Christ, we give hearty thanks to him, who has opened your eyes to see and your hearts to receive Jesus as your Saviour and Lord,


and has inclined you to present yourselves here to enter the com¬ munion and fellowship of his Church.

THE DECLARATION OF FAITH

I accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour, and make him my example, and take for my rule of life his words: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and mind and soul, and thy neighbor as thyself.”

THE COVENANT OF SERVICE

In the presence of God and these witnesses I give myself to his service, and take this to be my Church. Ever mindful of the welfare of my fellow-members, I promise to walk with them in faithfulness and Christian love. I promise that so far as able, I will attend the services of this Church, observe its sacraments, share its work, support its benevolences, and endeavor to make it a faithful body of Christians.

THE BAPTISM

From the beginning of the Christian Church those who wished to be numbered with the followers of Christ were baptized on confession of their faith; do you now wish to receive such Christian baptism as a symbol of that inward purity of life which you seek, and a sign that you dedicate yourself to the service and glory of God?

Answer: I do.

TO THE PERSONS RECEIVED BY LETTER

Kindred in Christ, who come acknowledging the vows you made when first you declared your faith in Christ, we bid you welcome. We greet you as fellow-laborers in his service and fellow-travelers to his promised rest. Do you now cordially unite yourselves with this Church of Christ, and accept its cove¬ nant of mutual service? Do you promise to pray and work for its upbuilding and its usefulness; to help in sustaining its worship, its activities and its charities; and to live with us in Christian fellowship?

Answer: I do.

WELCOME BY THE CHURCH

We, then, the members of this Church, welcome you with joy into our communion and fellowship. We pledge you our sym-


pathy, our help, and our prayers that you may evermore in¬ crease in the knowledge and love of God. God grant that loving and being loved, serving and being served, blessing and being blessed, we may be prepared while we dwell together on earth for the perfect fellowship of the saints above.

BENEDICTION

Now unto Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with ex¬ ceeding joy; to the only wise God and Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, world without end, both now and forever. Amen.

CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS

CONSTITUTION

Article I. Name THE name of this Church shall be the CHURCH OF CHRIST, CONGREGATIONAL, IN MILFORD, CONNECTICUT.

Article II. Object

The object of this Church shall be to bind together followers of

Jesus Christ for the purpose of sharing in the worship of God and in

making His will dominant in the lives of men, individually and

collectively, especially as that will is set forth in the life, teachings

and death of Jesus Christ.

Article III. Polity

This Church acknowledges Jesus Christ as its head and finds in

the Holy Scriptures, interpreted by the Divine Spirit through reason,

faith and conscience, its guidance in matters of faith and discipline.

The government of this Church is vested in its members, who ex¬

ercise the right of control in all its affairs, subject in legal matters

to the Articles of Incorporation granted it by the State of Connecticut.

While this Church is amenable to no ecclesiastical body, it accepts

the obligations of mutual council, comity and cooperation involved in

the free fellowship of the Congregational and Christian Churches,

and pledges itself to share their common aims and work.

Article IV. Doctrine

This Church recognizes the Bible as the sufficient rule of faith

and practice and holds that living in accordance with the teachings

of Jesus Christ is the true test of fellowship. Each member shall

have the undisturbed right to follow the Word of God according to

the dictates of his own conscience, under the enlightenment of the

Holy Spirit. The following statement of faith (or principles), there¬

fore, is not a test but an expression of the spirit in which the church

interprets the Word of God.

Faith. We believe in God the Father, infinite in wisdom, goodness

and love; and in Jesus Christ, his Son, our Lord and Saviour, who for

us and our salvation lived and died and rose again and liveth ever¬

more; and in the Holy Spirit, who taketh of the things of Christ and and revealeth them to us, renewing, comforting, and inspiring the

souls of men.


Covenant. We are united in striving to know the will of God as

taught in the Holy Scriptures, and in our purpose to walk in the ways

of the Lord, made known or to be made known to us. We hold it

to be the mission of the Church of Christ to proclaim the gospel to

all mankind, exalting the worship of the one true God and laboring

for the progress of knowledge, the promotion of justice, the reign of peace, and the realization of human brotherhood. Depending, as

did our fathers, upon the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit to

lead us into all truth, we work and pray for the transformation of

the world into the kingdom of God; and we look with faith for the

triumph of righteousness and the life everlasting.

Article V. Membership

Section i. The members of this Church shall be persons who have

been received by vote of the Church and public acceptance of its

covenant, (A) on presentation of satisfactory letters of transfer from

other churches; or (B) if letters are not available, by reaffirmation of

faith on recommendation of the Church Committee; or (C) on con¬

fession of faith and baptism (if not previously baptized or exempted

because of conviction); or (D) on recommendation of the Church

Committee when external baptism is waived because of conviction.

Section 2. Reception. Persons recommended by the Church Com¬

mittee having been approved by vote at a regular meeting or service

of the Church shall be received at a communion service or at some

other time as ordered by the Church, by public assent to the covenant.

Any who are unable to attend in public after approval by the Church,

may be received by the deacons acting in behalf of the Church.

Section 3. T'ermination of Membership. The continuance of member¬

ship shall be subject to the principles and usages of the Congregational

and Christian Churches, and especially as follows: (A) Any member in good and regular standing who desires a letter

of dismissal and recommendation to another church, upon request is

entitled to receive it by vote of the Church Committee. This letter

shall be valid as a recommendation for one year only from its date,

unless renewed, and this restriction shall be stated in the letter. The

right to vote shall be suspended when a letter is voted, and member¬

ship shall terminate upon notice of acceptance into another church,

or at the end of one year after inquiry which fails to give ground for

renewal. General letters addressed to no particular church shall not

be granted.

(B) If a member desires to join a religious body with which this

Church is not in fellowship, or which would not receive its letter, the

church may, at his request, give him a certificate of his standing, and

his membership shall terminate upon receipt of notice that said


member has been received into the body to which the certificate was

given. (C) If, because of change of faith or for other reasons not involving

unchristian conduct, a member in regular standing requests in writing

to be released from his covenant obligations, the Church shall pa¬

tiently endeavor to secure his continuance in its fellowship; failing

in such efforts, the Church may vote to grant the request and ter¬

minate such membership. (D) Members whose addresses have long been unknown or who

for a period of two years, in spite of kindly approaches, have not com¬

municated with the Church or contributed to its support, may, by

vote of the Church, be transferred to a retired list. From the date of

such transfer such persons shall cease to be reported on the active

membership roll. If, after the expiration of a year, their addresses

are still unknown or they are unwilling to renew active connection

with the Church, their names may be dropped from the roll by a

further vote of the Church.

(E) Should a member become an offense to the Church and to its

good name by reason of immoral or unchristian conduct, or by per¬

sistent breach of his covenant vows, the Church on recommendation

of the Church Committee may censure such a member, suspend him

or terminate his membership by a two-thirds vote at a duly called

meeting; but only after due notice and hearing, and after faithful

efforts have been made to bring such a member to amendment in

accordance with the law of Christ.

The membership of no person shall be terminated (except by Letter)

at the meeting in which such action is first made.

Section 4. Restoration of Membership. Any person whose membership

has been terminated may be restored by vote of the Church at a duly

called meeting; if for any offense, upon evidence of his reformation,
