Description:Excerpt from An Historical Sermon Concerning the Church Life of S. Stephen's Parish, Lynn, Massachusetts: On Sunday Morning, November 7th, 1886 Coming to you one year ago to-day - upon the first Sunday in November, 1885 - your Rector naturally desired to know the history of the Parish from its beginning, and so determined to gather what material he could from contemporaneous history, from Convention Journals, from the Parish Registers, and from the reminiscences of those whose own lives have run parallel with that of the Parish. It would seem, at first sight, an easy task to "ask now of the days that are past," but strangely enough, some of the Rectors left no records at all behind them. But the private memoranda of one of the first incorporators of the Parish have made good, for the purposes of the historian, these lapses in clerical duty. To ascertain the number of baptisms, confirmations, marriages and burials, together with the money contributed year by year for missions and charities, (since the organization of the Parish), the Rector has examined the Convention Journals from 1837 to the present day, and, fortunately, wherever a Rector has failed to make a report, the Bishop's address has noted the number confirmed, or a faithful Warden has kept a note, or the good memory of a Mother in Israel has filled the gap.
