Excerpt from The Second Church in Boston: Commemorative Services Held on the Completion of Two Hundred and Fifty Years Since Its Foundation, 1649-1899 In order most fitly to commemorate the series of events which have marked the organization, the continuance, and the present life of The Second Church in Boston, the Committee appointed by the Standing Committee have made a permanent record of the services held on the 19th. and 20th. of November, 1899. The place which this Church has occupied in the history of Congregationalism, in education, in literature, and in public affairs, the distinguished ministers who have occupied its pulpit, the vicissitudes through which it has passed, make its story most interesting. Upon the unanimous adoption of their plans by the Proprietors and members of the Society the Committee of Arrangements proceeded to carry them out in a manner which merited and received the cordial approval of all. The announcement of the programme at once called the attention not only of the immediate members of the Church, but of the many friends, former parishioners, and descendants of the old families, and, still more, of a numerous company who are ever interested in the ecclesiastical and local history of the city. The exercises were held in the meeting-house, and were attentively listened to, at every session, by crowds which taxed the auditorium to its utmost limit. For assistance in bringing the occasion to a successful issue the Committee of Arrangements were indebted to many persons who, by their public services, their advice, and in other ways, took important parts. More than all, perhaps, did they recognize the continued and devoted loyalty of every member of the Parish, both man and woman, for the heartiest co-operation in every way.
