The Cambridge of eighteen hundred and ninety-six: a picture of the city and its industries fifty years after its incorporation (ed. Arthur Gilman), The beginnings of Cambridge. (search)
sed in Harvard Square two centuries ago. May all of us who hate oppression, and love independence of spirit, do honor to the memory of sturdy Benanuel Bowers. In that same meeting-house in 1745 did George Whitefield's admirers wish to have him invited to preach, but the minister, Mr. Appleton, would in no wise give consent; so Whitefield spoke in the open air to a crowd that covered the Common. This preaching marked the downfall of the era of Puritan theocracy; and nothing more was needed to emphasize and accentuate that downfall than the introduction of the Church of England into Cambridge. Our story of the Beginnings of Cambridge may fitly close with the founding of Christ Church, hard by God's Acre, in 1759. A century after its founding there was hung in its belfry a chime of bells, and for many a year to come may their cheerful music Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be.

must be much briefer and more general. The Protestant Episcopal Church was the second of the churches here. Several worthy gentlemen, members of the Church of England, petitioned the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, to appoint a missionary who should perform divine service and administer religious ordinances according to the belief and usage of the English Church. Rev. East Apthorp, a Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, England, was proposed, and was appointed in 1759. In 1761 Christ Church was opened for service. In the time of the Revolution service in the church was interrupted, and the house was used for military purposes, though an occasional service was held. In 1790 the house was restored, and it has since been enlarged and adorned. The longest ministry was that of Rev. Nicholas Hoppin, from 1839 to 1874. He stands worthily in this long pastorate with his friends, Dr. Albro and Dr. Newell. The parish of St. Peter's Church was organized in 184
