It was rs.organzed ;n Swanzsy in l663. and is the oldest church in the commonwealth of Massa- ehusstts. Its early history is full of interest in connection with the suffsrings ot Indian war fare, and tine progress of liberal principles in religion and civil government ia this country. For about a csntusy it was the centre of con- coarse for the people of several adjoining towns and during much of this period its member ship was larger than that of any other Baptist lins of excellent pastors, some of whom were very smiasnt for their pisty, learning and slo- QMe .ce.
