THE JOURNAL OF THE MINISTER OF BEDFORD. By Abram Englisk Brown. IT is a full century since Rev. Samuel Stearns began his life pastorate in the town of Bedford. He was an eminent scholar, young and energetic. He had natural predilections for the ministry, being son and grandson of noted clergymen of New England. The financial considerations for this life contract were a settlement fee of $850 and an annual salary of ~ together with twenty cords of wood delivered at his door annually. He was ordained to the work at Bedford in April, 1796; and after a full year of preparation, he brought his youthful bride to the parsonage. It was a colo- nial mansion of ample proportions, erected for the previous minister of the town. It stood in the midst of broad acres, and was really a farm house as well as parsonage. The bride, a daughter of Rev. Jonathan French of Andover, was well endowed with the qualities needful for the home and position, and met with a most cordial reception, on the part of the town. During the next twenty- one years, thirteen children were born to this honored couple, eleven of whom reached maturity. These children were given all the edu- cational advantage of the time and made most commendable records. This brief statement of facts, with nothing more in the way of explana- tion, confronting the salaries of clergy- men of the present day, would stand as a mystery. With all credit due this exemplary minister and his wife for industry, frugality and superior judg- ment, there remains something to be said for the people of the town, which may be found in their pastors journal. Taking this record as a sample of very many of that time, we are not at so great loss to know how the ministers met their demands. We can but be impressed that many people in the early years of the present century rec- ognized the Jewish obligation to give a tenth of their income. Rev. Mr. Stearns and his bride had no more than time to become familiar with the apartments of their new home when they were called upon by Deacon Wright. It was in the regular or- der of things of the time, that this offi- cial should be the first caller upon the minister and his companion. The dea- cons were expected, like Aaron and Hur, to be ever ready to stay up the hands of the leader of the people. Dea- con Wright was an official who served in more than one capacity in the church work, The town had voted to place the viol in his hands for the pur- pose of assisting in taking lead in sa- cred music. He did not come empty- handed on his first call, and was doubtless a c c 0 m p a- nied by Mrs. Wright. The Ministers Journal gives credit to Dea, Wright for i cheese~ 3 lbs. of But- ter, 3 fowls, and sundry small arti- cles, such of course as a good house- keeper knew m u s t b e wanted at the parsonage. On the same date, May 30, we see to the credit of Mr. Fassett, i bushel rye and a cheese; also to Mr. Nathaniel Page, 1 bushel rye meal and i bushel potatoes ; on the same date we read: Col. Jones 4 fowls. Certainly the parsonage lar- der was well stocked at the outset, with seven fowls, two cheeses, two bushels of rye meal and one of pota- toes, besides three pounds of butter and the small articles. These donors, besides the deacon, were the most forehanded men of the town, and Colonel Jones had the best house, and the only one regarded as ample enough for the entertainment of the Council that assembled for the service of the ordination of Rev. Mr. Stearns. Its being the only one of the town that contained a regular wine cellar may explain why it was selected for that great event. On the following day came Mr. Sol- omon Lane with i spare rib of pork, Mr. William Page a bushel and a ha1f of rye meal and the same quantity of Indian, and a bag of pota- toes, Mr. Oli- ver Reed, i bushel corn and a large cheese. The first of these callers, Solo- mon Lane, was a cousin of the new m i n i s t e r, and not a lit- tle proud of the connec- tion; he had been defer- ring the slaughter of the pig until the minister should bring his bride to town, and took the first opportunity to carry out his plan. On June 3 the record is: Capt. Webber, i cheese, Mr. Eleazer Davis i bushel of Indian meal, Mr. Moses Fitch 3 lbs. butter. Capt. Webber was the keeper of the Shaw- sheen house, where the people had congregated to discuss the promise of the new pastorate. The other call ~rs of the day were heroes of the Revolu- tion. Moses Fitch had one arm hang- ing useless at his side, telling of the battle of White Plains, where he had received a severe wound. Eleazer Da- vis could tell of his experience at Con- A CORNER OF THE PAR5ONAGE,
