Synopsis

Three Discourses Preached Before The Congregational Society In Watertown: Two, Upon Leaving The Old Meeting-House; One, At The Dedication Of The New by Convers Francis. This volume collects the sermons delivered before the Watertown Congregational Society, including two on bidding farewell to the old meeting-house and one on the dedication of the new sanctuary. The discourses explore the religious foundations of New England settlement, the covenantal commitments of early Watertown, and the enduring significance of sacred spaces for individual devotion and public worship. They reflect on memory, mortality, and continuity across generations, linking the history of the church to the life of the community and to the nation's past. Across the three sermons, Francis emphasizes worship as a central, eternal purpose, the moral responsibilities of Christians, and the role of religious institutions in public life, culminating in a dedication that exalts the temple as a symbol of spiritual life and communal virtue. The edition is dated 1836 and was printed in Cambridge by Folsom, Wells, and Thurston.
