Religious history laid bare from Medway’s earliest days to the 1876 anniversary

This historical discourse, published in 1877, collects the sermon and accompanying notes that honor a long line of church leadership and local memory. It presents a carefully gathered record of the First Church of Christ in Medway, including ministerial transitions, parish decisions, and the birth of the Sabbath School.

Two short paragraphs frame the scope and value: The work surveys the impulse to preserve local history, the people who built the church, and the milestones that shaped the community’s faith life. It also includes the resolutions that led to publication, plus biographical sketches and anecdotes that illuminate early life in the parish.

Gives a window into the church’s leadership from Bucknam through the 19th century.
Tracks the creation and growth of the Sabbath School and its teachers.
Records publishable church histories, key dates, and notable memories.
Offers context for readers interested in local genealogy and regional religious history.

Ideal for readers of local history, church history, and genealogical research who want a tangible sense of Medway’s past and its religious community.
