About this title

Synopsis

A Lecture Comprising The History Of The Second Parish In Beverly, And The Origin And Progress Of The Church Of Christ Worshipping In That Place : Delivered In The Meeting House Of Said Parish, Sabbath Evening, July 6, 1834 by Edwin Martin Stone. This historical lecture, issued in 1835, assembles parish and church records, town minutes, and recollections to trace the formation of the Upper Parish in Beverly (the second Congregational society) and the origin of the church worshipping there. Stone recounts the early town boundaries, the move to erect a meeting house, the decision to invite a minister, and the call and ordination of John Chipman in 1715–1716, together with the covenant by which the church bound itself to gospel order. The narrative follows successive pastors, from Chipman through Hitchcock, Oliver, Dow, and others, and surveys governance, seating arrangements, interior refinements, bells and steeple, tax and salary issues, annexations with Salem, and episodes illustrating religious liberty, unity, and practical piety. It serves as a detailed primary record of local religious and civic life in 18th-century New England.
