KING'S STREET, DARTMOUTH.
Jubilee Gelebralion end iteception IHeeling.
Oil the evening of Tiiuusu.vv, December 7tli, 1893, the
Daktmouth Baptist Chuuch met to celebrate its First Jurilek,
•run! to welcome to their pulpit their newly elected pastor the Ilev,
Samuel Bradford Kempton.
A committee of the Church under the direction and t^uidance
of Brother W. H. Fielding had gaily decorated the vestry for
the occasion with Hags, ilowers, and evergreens, and mottoes in
varied colored letters.
The ladies of the Church prepared a sumptuous tea and repast
to which they invited the memliers of the Church and congregation
and their friends. When all had partaken, the remainder of the
time was passed in social intercourse and friendly reunions until
7.30 ; at which hour the assemblage moved into the body of the
Church which was well filled by an expectant audience.
Tlie meeting was called to order by the chairman, Judge John-
ston, who read the Jubilee hymn No. 305 of the Canadian Baptist
hymnal commencing "Blow ye the tnnnpet blow," which was
sung by the choir, a portion of Scripture was read and prayer offered
Ity the Rev. Stephen March. The chairman then stated that fifty
years from the organization of the Church had fallen on the
twenty-ninth day of October last, but that in consequence of their
pastor elect not having at that date assumed the duties of his

have been liy iiiuny iiliaiuloned as effete, old fasliiuned, and of
little value in an age so jiroirvessive as the present.
The liattering ram of agnostieisiu and infidelity are to-day
pDunding at the buttresses of a Christianity in defence of whicli
our forefatliers of fifty years gone, would if need had Ijeen, have
freely l)]ed and died.
Fifty years tell f.r much in individual life, a large pntjxjrtiou
never attain that age, and tho.se who do, have travelled over the
longest jiortion of their allotted journey.
The man wlio has turned the mile stone of half a eentn.y
misses many familiar faces as he treads the dusty road of life, he
looks around for the friends of his boyish days, and the companions
of his early manhood— where are they ? with ])ut few exceptions,
gone, all gone : and he iinds himself left, standing alone, like some
old oak tree that has bravely breasted the storms and smiled at
the howlhig blasts of the passing years, as they have swept out
from their path way and laid low many younger and apjiarently
hardier trees of the forest.
Such is the rule that governs man's i)hysical being and such
the price inexorably denianded for the i)rivilege of an extended
life.
How fares it with the Church, made up as it is, of men and
women ; does the rule of individual life apply to it, and is it
suliject to like vicissitudes and changes ?
To a limited extent only.
During the term of any five decades the ]>ersoiniel of the
€hurch will almost, if not entirely, have changed. Within that
period it will have experienced many ups and downs, will have
known seasons of gloom and desi)ondency, an-' will have been
refreshed by times of joy and of gladness.
But the similarity is no further traceal^le.
Man comes on the stage, plays his little part, and just when
he thinks that he has learned how to live, he is snatched away,
and the place that knew him once, knows him no more for ever.
The social wheel is ever slowly revolving, and families and
individuals who fifty years ago, rode upon the'"crest of the wave,
are now buried in oblivion, and their very names forgotten.
The memory of a man soon fades away, no matter how large
the space he has filled or how important the work or vast the
projects, the fate of wdiich seemingly hang upon the thread of his
existence. But the vicissitudes of life and the ravages of time
touch not the Church, nor do the changing creeds of nien, or their

Ah, he would be a bold seer who in this changing world would scan
the horoscope and dare with certainty to fortell. J5ut may wo
not venture to hope, that those who shall gather to celebrate its
centennial will lind this Church large and intluential, worshipping
in a more ju'etentious edifice than its present audience hall, and
that having developed iuto a stately tree of gooilly ))roportions its
far s])reading l)raiiches has afforded rest an<l shelter to a nuin.H'i'
ever increasing as the years go by, and that having tlirown nut
its tendrils hither and thither, far and wide it has become the
ffister mother of many other liaptist (,'hurches.
In the meantime the Church of to-day will in humble trust
and confidence pursue its way doing the duty that lies next to it,
anil leaving the future to l)e mouhled by Him who with sleei»less
eye has ever watched over his Church, and wIki as an eagle
tluttereth over her young and beareth them on her wiugs has
cared for, pr<jtected, and led his jjcfijile on, and whose gracious
]>romise, " Lo I am with you alway even unto the end of the
World," so precious and so strengthening in the jiast, will in the
years to come still l)e the Church's stay and sure support,
reviving her faith when dro.'jping, stimulating her to aUcmiit, and
with confidence to expect great things, and mid h)wering skies,
and when mu. ky mists curtain the day, and in hours of darkest
desi)ondency inspire her to do and to dare.
At the conclusiiin of his address the Chairman called^u[)on
the clerk, ^Ir. William L. l>arss, who presented tlie record of the
Church from the date of its organization on the 2'Jth Dec, 1843,
to the 29th October, 1893, embracing the fifty years of its history.

The Rev, Mr. Chute then gave an excellent charge to the
Church setting forth the duties that the Church oweirto their
liastor, and pointed out how those duties might lie best discharged :
the Eev. gentlemen with a beaming smile told the audience that
he always considered himself as being closely identified with this
Church in as much as he had selected as his help mate for life the
choicest lamb to be found in the Dartmouth Baptist fohl.
The exercises were interspersed with anthems and recherche
music well rendered by the choir. At the close the McDoiuild
Brothers (jf Halifax sang a duet entitled, "Fling out the standard,"
in a style that was highly predated by tJie audience. 'i"he
Pastor pronounced the J5enediction, and the com})aiiy well pleased
adjourned to meet again on the 29th of October, 1 943.

dence. That we shall meet for Divine Worshij) every Sabljath
morning at 11 o'clock and at half ])ast 7 in the evening and as soon
as convenient we hold one weekly evening nfeeting. That our
intention be ])ublished in the Chrifitian Messenr/er in order to
ex{)lain our views to our Christian brethren and to solicit their
prayers in our behalf." This nu'cting was held on the ITtli of
May, 184o. In accordance with these resolutions a council
compi)sed of Elder John Ivnox and several brethren of the Halifax
Church met with the Dartmouth brethren and advised them to
organize a church in this ])lace. The written account of the
meeting to organize is in the following words: "On Sabbath
day 29th October, IS-lo, Elder John Knox after sjtating the duties
of church members to each other .and to the world read the letters
of dismissal and gave the right hand of fellowshij) to the following
members : — Bretliren Kichard M iLLeajn. John Huxtable, W. L.
J^vans and sisters Ann Wilson and Ann Huxtable from the Halifax
Church ; also to Henry DonaUlson and Jane Donaldson from the;
2nd Church in Plainfield, New Jersey. And these brethren thus
organized received into their fellowship brethren Henry Keeler
and Edwaul Marr and sister Marr; brother Huxtable was chosen
deacon and the ordinance of the Lord's Supper administered." This
meeting was held in tiie evening at Dartmouth in a room of the
dwelling of brother Evans, and who can doubt that the invisible
Christ was not there in the midst of them.
All these so far as we can ascertain, with the excejition of
sister Susan Meagher who is present with us to-night, have one
by one been laid to rest. Our sister Meagher whose life has been
graciously prolonged far beyond tlie time usually allotted to us
here, patiently waits till her Master's voice shall also bid her come
up higher. Her great delight in times ]iast, when life was less
feeble than at present, was to meet with the members of this
church and bear witness to the wondnjus love and mercy of God
in his dealings with her.
The late Edward ]\I(!agher, her huslnmd, and Hem v Keeler her
father, were both mendiers of this church till the time of tlieir
deaths. Their lives renuiin to us a record of long and faithful
service in behalf of this church.
^Iv. Keeler was baptized on the same day as his daughter, Mrs,
Meagher, in the ]>edford llasin liy Elder Davis, but he did not
become a member of any church previous to his reception as a

cluu'cli editice now stands. Tlie original structure removed a little
in the rear has bv no means vet out-lived its usefulness, but havinc
been connected with its more modern rival is used for our Tiabbath
school and prayer meetings. Tlius now we have the church duly
organized and tlie church home built and dedicated, but sometliing
equally essential to tliese is still wanting. Doubtless these men of
faith and prayer while watcliing tlie la'ogi-ess of their church buiUling
towards conqiletion, were earnestly calling upon God to send them
a I'astor. That there were prayers in tliis l)elialf and tliat they
were answered speetlily, appears from the following account of the
call and ordination of the late Hev. Abrain S. Hunt the first pastor
of this church : — "Shortly after the above period at a meeting of
the church it was agreed to give Brcjther Hunt a call to the pastoral
charge of the church. He had labored among us as a licentiate for
two of three months." The call was accepted by Mr. Hunt and
on Sabbath day the 10th day of November, 1844, the ordination
services as arranged by the Council the day previous took place.
We have it of record that " upon this very interesting occasion the
house was tilled to overflowing with an attentive congiegation."
At the association held at Amherst on the aOth June following
11 additions by baptism were rejjorted and the total niembershi])
liO, and the year following o baptisms were re]wrted, with a
inembeship of 34. The first ])astorate which had this far proved
so successful was not long to continue. Brother Hunt a short time
previous to his assuming the charge of this chuich, had graduated
at Acadia College, and he was not slow to realize that greater
usefulness could be attained by taking a course in Theology. He
consequently decided to avail himself of the instruction which
could then be obtained at Wolfville under the late Dr. Crawley.
This he made known to the church and at a meeting held on the
olst of July, 184C, the following resolution was passed. "Voted
that whereas the pastor, brother Aln-am S. Hunt, has signified his
intention of removing fro.ir this place, brethren Kichard McLean
and Mr. George Eamville be a c(jmmittee to visit the pastor, and
ascertain if his purpose to remove is so far fixed that he cannot Ije
induced for another term to supply tlie spiritual wants of this
feeble church and destitute region."
That brother Hunt had intended that his resignation should lie
considered as final ajipears from the record made a few weeks
later; " On Sunday the 27th Sept. 1846, the pastor Mr. Hunt took
leave of tlie church and departed for Horton on Monday." The
church doubtless suffered much through the loss of tlieir pastor, as

emei'f^encv wo find them on the UTlli of April, 18411, niakiuLi;
provision for the future by resolution " that brother McLearn be
requested liy an address of the church to administetl the ordinance
of the Lord's Su|)])er iind to take some oversight fit' the ilock." The
membershiji reported to the association in 1849 was 42, bein^f o
less than the year itreviou-^. During the year IHoO the membershi])
%vas further reduced to :')•") ]irinciiially by dismissions to other
cliuivhes, the lia]itist churches (if our neighlioiiring Kejiublic tlu'ii
as now receiviiiii' the most of them. One member is also rejiorted
as having dieil of sniall]iox that yeiir leaving a husband and one
child. Notwithstanding tlus church at this time was jiastorless and
its ' memliership greatly reduced, ecclesiastical authority and
disQijiline were not wanting when the ]ieace and harmony of the
church demanded it and such ajipears to have been administered
without respect of jiersi^is. As evidence in this direction we find a
female member excluded " fur ungovernable ]iassions and a
slanderous tongue." This is a relic of the year IS.'O. From IHoO
till the year ISTiS, when the Kev'd li. D. Torter was its
l)astor the cihurch neglected to rejiort to the association or send a
messenger and so far as the records show was in a languishing and
feeble state. During these 8 years the membershi]) recorded in
the association muiutes was invariable, o4 neither less nor more.
As a gleam of light however flashed upon this darkness, we find
the following under date of August, LS");"). "Brother Thomas
Crawlev took the ^Mission of this District, several baptisms bv Mr.
Freeman."
The IJev. Robert D. Porter was the 3rd jiastor of this church.
He came to Darttuoutii in the early fall of 1857, under the direction
of the Home Mission Board, and by request of this church was
ordained on the 17th September, 1857. With the exception of a
very full and interesting account (jf brother I'orter's (jrdination
written by Mr. G. J. Creed, Secretary of the Council, and a later
brief note on our church records referring to brother Porter's last
Sabbath with this church — we have nothing of record to inform us
what took place during his pastorate. From the association minutes
for the year, 1858, we find the membership increased from 34 to
42, and in the following year further increased to 48, Brother
Porter remained with this church about 2 years. The only entry
.regarding liis pastorate is briefly this : "Lord's day 28th August,

to a smaller and less fationin.i; fkdd of lal.ov wa,s necessary to I'^is
healtli, ho havino- ],rcviously been ]irostrated by a lon<' an<l
severe illness. Mr. Hunt and his family arrived hero in Xoveniber
of that year. The nieinbersliii. rejicrtcd to the association the
tolhnvino' year was .'52. In 1870 .Afr. Hunt was ai-itointed Super-
intendent of Educati.ui.lmt nevertheless feelino' that he could never
ne-lect the claims of the high office to which he had been called as
a minister of the C!osi)el he still vcmaineil i)astor of this church and
continued to the close of his life to faithfully and jiatieiitly discharye
the arduous duties devolving uikhi him without any reiiiunei'ation.
During the seven years of his second pastorate many souls were
won for the .Afaster. At the time of his death the meml)eiship
of the church was 77.
On Tuesday the 23rd of October, 1877, after a short illness Mr.
Hunt calmly and peacefully yielded up his sjiiiit to God who gave
It. 'It would seem superfluous for me to enlarge on the life'^aiid
labors of Mr. Hunt in connection with this church for they are still
fresh in the memory of many in this church and community. The
resolutions passed by this church on receiving the solemn announce-
ment of his death bear ample testimony to the high esteem and
love in which he was held by all. No attempt was made to lill
the vacant pastorate till after the beginning of the next year In
February, 1878, the Eev. John Clark accepted a call from this
church and became its ])astor for one year. Eight members were
added to the church during his pastorate.
During the vacancy occasioned by the retirement of Mr. Clark
in February, 1879, aniong those who were invited to supply the
pulpit was the late Rev. Henry A. Spencer then a licentiate and a
student in the senior year at Acadia College at Wolfville. After
graduating in June of that year he came to Dartmouth and
continued to supply this church till September when Ik; was invited
to become its pastor for one year.
This year of 1879 may be regarded as a very important one iu
the history of this church. Those interested in the Baptist cause
at Dartmouth had for some time become convinced that the oM
building in which they were worshipping however useful it had been
in the past had grown out of dat(f and was altogether inadequate to
their needs. With true courage they fticed tlie problem of a new
and more commodious church home, and soon by their ow^n contri-
butions and the generous donations of many outside of the church
who wished them God sjiocd in the undertaking luuuey enough was

church completed on the 29th day of October last, 289 new
members have been added to the original 10. Of these 192 were
by baptism and 97 l»y letters from other churches, and by relation
of their christian experience. Fr(jm this number 61 have been
dismissed by ns to unite with other Baptist churches, 53 have been
removed by death, and 33 were excluded. Our total membersliip
on the 29th of October last was 142.
Looking backward over this whole period of tifty years, dis])ite
its many seasons of depression and languishing we find much cause
for gratitude and praise to our God for his undeserved mercy au'l
Wondrous grace to us as a people and we can surely this evening
raise our grateful Ebenezers and say " hitherto the Lard has helped
us."
