Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Church Life in Colonial Connecticut: Being the Story of the Transplanting of the Church of England Into Forty-Two Parishes of Connecticut, With the Assistance of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel The celebration was opened by the Missionary Commit tee Of the Diocese, Rev. Storrs O. Seymour chairman. A service was held in Trinity Church, New Haven, con ducted by the Bishop, at which memorial addresses were made by the Bishop, Dr. Lloyd, and the Rev. Mr. Bodley of New Britain. On Thursday the Junior Department of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Diocese held a meeting of the Inter Parochial Missions study-class, in Christ Church, Bridge port. Holy Communion was celebrated at nine O'clock, followed by the reading of historical papers from the forty two parishes of Colonial origin. Mrs. Colt, President of the Auxiliary, presided and much of interest was elicited. A luncheon was then served in bounteous hospitality to three hundred guests. An exhibition of Colonial and other Church relics of great value and unusual interest then fol lowed. At two-thirty the people reassembled in the church for a Thanksgiving service. A jubilee procession of the Bishop and clergy of the Diocese, together with banner bearers from each of the Colonial parishes, preceded the solemn Offering of prayer and praise. Addresses commemorative in character were made by the Bishop, Dr. Hart, and Dr. Lloyd. Two descendants from two of the prominent Colonial clergy were present in the chancel: the Rev. Samuel F ermor Jarvis, grandson of Abraham Jarvis, second Bishop of Connecticut, and Rector Of Brooklyn, Conn, the last parish organized prior to the Revolution; and Arch deacon Johnson, great-grandson of Samuel Johnson, one of the pioneers Of Episcopacy in Connecticut. On Friday the Daughters of the King and the Girls' Friendly held a joint service in Christ Church, Hartford, while on Saturday the Sunday School Auxiliary held its service in Trinity Church of the same place. Nearly every Sunday School of the Diocese was represented by a delega tion and a banner. A thousand children were gathered and the occasion was an inspiring one. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew also observed the occa sion in their annual meeting in New Haven on Saturday and Sunday.
