THE CONGREGATIONAL HOUSE The first Congregational House in Boston, located on Somerset and Beacon Streets, was occupied in 1873. Just around the corner from Park Street on Deacon Hill looking out upon the Massachusetts State House, with its famous Bulfinch front and dome, is the present Boston Home of the Con- gregational Churclies erected in 1898. In it are tilie offices of your various national societies and your denominational paper. The Congregationalist and Advance. One of the features of this handsome building is its attractive Pilgrim Hall, the meeting place of many notable assemblies. Here our Congrega- tional ministers gather for weekly conferences. The fascinating display windows of our Pilgrim Press Book Shop invite inspection of tiie books within, which range from theological sub- jects to modern fiction. The stairway in the centi'al part of the store leads to the church school literature and supplies. The restful, up-to-date Congregational Library on the second floor is especially alluring just now to those eager for facts about their Pilgrim Ancestors. A. Special feature of the Librai'y is the Bible Room with its remarkable collection of old Bibles and manuscifipts. At the front of the second floor are the business offices of the Congregational Publishing So- city, whose trade name in The Pilgrim Press, including the departments of Circulation and Advertising of The Congregationalist. The fifth floor is the next stopping place of special interest to Con- gregationalists. There the Woman's Foreign Board and the Social Service Department of the Education Society will welcome you. On the sixth floor you will find the rooms of the American Missionary Association, the Church Building Society, the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, the Woman's Home Missionary Association, the Board of Pastoral Supply and the Boston Seaman's Friend Society. Our American Board offices occupy the entire seventh floor. The Edi- torial Departments of The Congregationalist and tlie Religious Educiition Puljlications, and the Education Society enjoy pleasant rooms witii sightly outlooks on tlie eighth floor, which is at the top of the building. It will be a great pleasure to these organizations, which represent all our Congregational churches, to welcome most cordially the visitors of the International Council. HISTORIC BOSTON [The maierial in this book relating to Boston and neighboring places of interest was prepared by Rev. Albert F. Pierce, D.D.] Boston is the mos-t picturesque of American cities and is the rich- est in its iiistoric associations. Its crooked streets ajid narrow alleys, ithe subject of jest to strangers, are dear to the heart of true Bostoni- ans; while its old buildings and sites marked by tablets and monu- ments are connected vitally with the life of America beyond that of any other city. Boston was founded in 1G30, Its first name was "Trimountain," but in 1631 the court at Charles- town ordered "that Trimountane shall be called Boston; Mattapan, Dorcliester; & ye towne upon Charles Ryver, Waterton." The pear-shaped peninsula upon which the city was built was a mile wide at its broadest, less than three miles long, and was connected with the mainland by a neck of land a mile long and so low that it was often overflowed at high tide. The peninsula had three high hills, Copp's Hill, Beacon Hill and Fort Hill, which gave it tlie name "Tri- mountain." These hills have all been cut down, and the low marsh land on all sides of the city so g^H'M, '/'S^^^HJJB^'^'^!^ filled in that the original area of V ' W i»% \ * ^^^^wl^^^^B ^ 783 acres has been expanded to over 2000. All of Back Bay is "made ground," as is much of the southern and eastern part of the city, and Boston's famous "Tea Party" was held on what is now Atlantic Avenue. Old Boston was not planned, — it grew. Cow-paths and cart-roads followed winding creeks and inlets, and wound around the hills, going in the lines of least resistance; and houses were built along side of them. The center of the old town was near tlie head of State Street. There the First Church was erected in 1631, ministered to for many years by the famous John Cotton, llie Second, or North Church, dedi- cated 1650, stood on North Square, near where Christ Church now stands, and was ministered to by Increase, Cotton and Samuel Mather. The Third — Old South- in the then southern part of the city, erected in 1670, stood where the Old South Meeting House now stands, on Washington Street, cor- ner of Milk St. "The early settlers drove their cows to pasture on the slopes of Beacon Hill and on the Common. They carted tlieir grain to be ground into flour in the wind- mill on Copp's Hill or the mill at the foot of Summer Street." On Washington Street, opposite the Old Soutli Meetinghouse, stood the Province House. Next to Old South was the residence of John Winthrop, the most renowned governor 10 Old State House of Massachusetts Bay Colony. At the head of State Street on Washincton was the Old Town House, where now stands the Old State House. Here. John Adams Old North Church was born. In tlie Revolutionary period, the Stocks stood near the northeast comer; the Wliipping Post hard by; and the Pillory, when used, in the middle of the square between the present Congress and Exchange Streets. It is reliably stated that the first occupant of the Stocks was tile man who made them, a penalty for overcharging the pubic treasury in fixing a price for his work. "Graft" is verily an- cient. Near the head of School Street stood the Latin School for more than 200 years, where Franklin, Hancock, Adams, Otis, Sumner, Beeoher, and many other famous men studied. The old Granary stood where Park Street Church now stands: while across the street was the groat public "trayning ground" now Boston Common) where were held open-air meetings, the review of armies, the hanging of Quakers, and the revivals under the preach- ing of Whitefield. The present population of Bos- ton proper is 700,000, which gives it the rank of the fourth citv in the country. Its real population, how- hnldin i tt„ ,/r ' During the Siege of Boston the or- Bunker Hill Monument gan pipes were melted into bullets and used. Church built 1759-61.

As no one in America could play it, the king's royal organist, the celebrated Handel, was sent over to instruct some one in the art. Later Haydn, the royal choirmaster, came and these two famous musicians gave a series of con- certs. Only five pipes of the original organ remain, the others having been replaced. Liberty Tree.

(The church now worships in the new edifice, erected in 1875, on corner of Boylston and Dartmouth Sts.) The Old South Meetinghouse was built in 1729. Public meetings, too large to be held in the old Fancuil Hall, were assembled here. The men of the town gathered here to protest against forcing Massachusetts citizens into the 15 Washington Monument British navy; to demand the withdrawal of British troops after the Bos- ton Massacre; and in November and December, 1773, to protest against the tax on tea, culminating with the "Tea Party" when the cargoes of the tea ships were emptied into the harbor. Here were commemorated, 1771- 1773, anniversaries of the Boston Massacre, with orations by Hancock, Church and Warren. During the Siege the church was occupied by Bur- goyne's regiment of light dragoons as a riding school. (2art-loads of dirt covered the floor. The pews, pulpit, and all the inside structures except the sounding-board and the east galleries were taken out and used for fuel. In the winter a stove was set up and precious books and manuscripts of Rev. Thomas Prince's New England Library, then de- posited in the steeple room of the tower, were used for kindling the fire. The manuscript of Bradford's "Histoi-y of Plimoth" was spared and carried to England. After the British were driven from the city, the church was restored and used for worship until 1872.

Beacon pulled down by British during the Siege and a fort built. In 1790, a brick and stone monument, designed by Bulfinch, replaced the fort. Tablets of this preserved and built into present monument, which stands 70 feet below place of original beacon. State House grounds contains noted statues. Daniel Webster (by Powers, 1859), right of main entrance; Horace Mann (by Emma Stebbins, 1865), on left; equestrian statue of Major General Hooker (figure of Hooker "by Daniel Chester French, horse by Edward C. Potter) ; on east side, Major General Devens (Warner, 1898) and Major General Nathaniel P. Banks (by Kitson, 1908). 17 Trinity Church, 1728, Copley Square. Present building erected in 1873-77, after fire had destroyed the old church on Summer St. One of the richest examples of ecclesiastical architecture in the city. Designed by H. H. Richardson, and called his masterpiece. French Romanesque de- sign. The chapel is connected with the church by the open cloister, in which are set some carved stones from the old St. Botolph Church in Boston, England. The elaborate decorative work of interior of church is by John La Farge. Phillips Brooks was rector of this church 1809-1891, when he was made Bishop of Massachusetts. Dr. Alexander Mann is now rector. The Phillips Brooks Memorial is at the side of the church on Huntington Ave. The statue is by St. Gaudens, and the canopy by Charles F. McKim of McKini, Mead & \Miite. The statue— of heroic size — repre- sents the preacher in pulpit gown and attitude. Back of him appears the hooded head of Christ, with the Master's right hand on the preacher's shoulder. This last and bold attempt of St. Gaudens to blend the realistic with the ideal in statuary invites and receives unusual attention and differing criticism. Theodore Parker Church, the old First Parish meetinghouse, Center St., West Roxbury. Still standing, though unused and dismantled. Theo- dore Parker was pastor here for nine years. A little farther up the street is a bronze statue of Parker; and at the corner of Cottage Avenue and Center St. is Parker's residence, now occupied as the parish house of^the near-by Catholic church. Tremont Temple, founded 1839, on Tremont St. near School St. Largest church auditorium in the city. Largest Baptist Church (member- ship) in New England. The fourth temple erected on this site, the three previous having been destroyed by fire. The first temple was the remod- eled Tremont Theatre, where Charlotte Cushman made her debut in 1835. The large public hall of the second Tremont Temple is where Charles Dickens gave his readings during his last visit to America in 1868. Many large public gatherings are held in the Temple. The 75th anniversary of The American Board, 1885; the International Congregational Council, 1899; the centennial of the American Board, 1910, and the National Con- gregational Council, 1910, were all held in Tremont Temple. W^ashingrton Elm. Under this tree Washington took command of American Army July 3, 1775. Only small part of tree remains. Garden St., Cambridge, just west of common. Opposite the elm stands group of buildings belonging to Radcliffe College. Wendell Phillips House. Corner Essex St. and Harrison Ave. Exten- sion.

[See article on Boston Common.] Codman Cemetery- Chester.] -Norfolk St., Dorchester. [See Second Church, Dor- Copp's Hill Burying Ground. Charter and Hull Sts., North End, near Christ Church. Really four cemeteries, established at different periods: North Burial Ground (1660), the Hull Street (1770), the New North (1809), and the Charter Street (1819). The oldest ^section, the N. E. part, is largest historic burying ground in city. Noted graves are of Reverends Increase, Cotton, and Samuel Mather; Nicholas Upsall, the persecuted friend of the Quakers; Rev. Jesse Lee, early preacher of Methodism in Boston; Edmund Hart, builder of the frigate Constitution. A large memorial stone with bullet marks on its face attracts atten- tion. It marks the grave of "Capt. Daniel Malcom, ... a true Son of Liberty, a Friend to the Public, an Enemy of Oppression, and One of the foremost in opposing the Revenue Acts in America." This stone was a favorite target with the British soldiers during the Siege, and the bullet marks were made by them. A comer of the inclosure by Snowhill vSt. was originally used for the buriftl of slaves. Near the Charter St. gate is the "Napoleon Willow," grown from a slip from the tree at Napoleon's grave. Dorchester North Burying Ground. Columbia Road and Stough- ton St. (Upham's Corner), Dorchester. Estb. 16.3.3. Graves of Richard Mather, founder of the Mather family in New England, and Lt.

(1717). A tablet informs us that "here lyes intombed the bodyes of ye famous reverend and learned pastors of the First Church of Christ in Boston," viz. : "John Cotton, aged 67 years, died 1652; John Davenport, 72 years, died 1670; John Oxenbridge, 66 years, died 1674; and Thomas Bridge, 58 years, died 1715."

One stone much sought is that of "Mother Goose," though many question whether Elizabeth Vergoose is the veritable Mother Goose of the nursery rhymes. The cemetery derives its name from the Granary which stood where Park St. Church now stands, a large building for the storage of grain reserved to be sold to the poor at cost.

Wendell Phillips Statue 29 SEEING BOSTON AFOOT For persons who wish to see the points of greatest historic interest in the city, and to do it without a guide, the following is suggested as being easily within reach of the ordinary walker. But he should first inform himself of tlie special things to be seen at the places here mentioned. Starting at Park Street Church, going north on Tremont St., there is the Granary Burial Ground, on the left adjoining the church. A few rods fartlier, on the right, is Tremont Temple, largest Baptist Church in New England. The first street wm'. Tremont Temple on the left is Beacon St. and on the right is School St.; on tlie first corner of Tremont and School Sts. is the Parker House and on the other is Kings's Chapel. In the rear of King's Chapel, on School St., used to stand the Latin School, where so many famous men were educated; near the site now stands the City Hall. Across the street, the Parker House covers I 11 'll'i •!#»## *? * ■' *^^^ site where Oliver Wendell I lived, the maternal grandfather of ^' . Oliver Wendell Holmes, while the front of the hotel on Tremont occu- pies the birthplace of Edward Everett Hale. Adjoining King's Chapel on Tremont St. is the Burial Ground, said to be the old- est in the city. Proceeding along Tremont St., looking up the first street on the left, we see the pres- ent County Court House, at the head of Pemberton Square. On the square facing Tremont St. stood the house of Rev. John Cotton, early minister of the First Church, and next to it the home of Sir Harry Vane. Going on to the end of Tremont St. we come to Scollay Square, site of the first Free AVriting School. Pass down Corn- hill St. to Adams Square. In the middle of the square stands the statue of Samuel Adams by Anne Wliitney. From here we pass to Faneuil Hall, open daily to visitors. Near the east end of Faneuil Hall stood John Hancock's Store. Pass through the Qiiincy Market House, on through Commercial to State St. At theJ end of it is Long Wharf, dating from 1710, where the formal landings of the royal governors were made. Passing up State St. we come to the new Custom House, at India St.; then the Chamber of Commerce ; then near the corner of Exchange St. to site of the Boston Massacre, marked by inscription in the sidewalk (on north side of State St.) and by peculiar round paving near the center of the street; then to the Old State House; open free to visitors. Tlie Old First Church stood near the head of State St.; and on tliis square were the Whipping Post, the Stocks, and the Pillory. Passing south on Wash- ington St. we come to the Old South Meeting House, cor. of Milk St., the third church in Boston. In front, across the street, stood the Province House, ofTicial residence of the royal governors; and at 17 Milk St. the house where Benjamin Franklin was born. Retracing our steps a few yards we pass to the west up through School St. On the right-hand corner is the Old Corner Book Store. Continuing, we pass King's Chapel, cross Tremont St., and ascend Beacon St. Tlie first street to the riglit is Somerset St. On the corner stood the first Congregational Building. If we could go up Somerset St. one block, we would see the County Court House, the City Club, Ford Hall, and Boston University Law School and Divinity School. Continuing Beacon St. one block, we come to The Congregational House on the left (14 Bea- con St.) and the Unitarian House on the right. Pass on to the State 30 House. After a visit through it, observe the statues about it and par- ticularly the Sha^v Monument across tiie street in front of the Capitol. If time is left, we are now at and can go through Boston Common. The above is suggested as an outline for a sliort forenoon or after- noon trip. The walking will not consume much time, but tlie delay will depend upon the amount of time given to sight-seeing. Those who wish to extend the above can, when at Scollay Square, instead of going down Cornhill St., go down Hanover St. to where Salem St. branches off, follow Salem to Christ Church, Paul Revere' s House, the site of Old North Church, North Church Burying Ground, return Salem St. to Hanover St., Hanover to Washington, Washington to Adams Square, and then proceed as formerly. Persons wishing to see Bunkerhill Monument, the Navy Yard, and other points in old Charlestown, can take the Elevated to Thompson Square (the second stop in Charlestown going north). A few minutes' walk will take one to all of these places. Tliose who desire to make the tour witli a guide can do so for a fee of 50 cents. The Excursion Committee of the International Council has arranged with a competent and thoroughly informed person to act as guide and informant, and tickets can be purchased and trips arranged tor through the Committee. TOURS BY AUTOMOBILE Many persons are unable to walk and prefer the touring car with a competent guide. Also, when the distance is too great for walking, some persons prefer tlie comfort of the automobile, with its advantages for seeing and the information a guide can give, to the street car or the rairoad train ; and are willing to pay a little more for it. To ac- commodate these we can offer the following tours : Tour No. 1. Historic Bos- ton.
