RECORDS OF THE DRESDEN, ME., CONGREGATIONALIST CHURCH
Communicated by William Davis Patterson of Wiscasset, Me.
The Rev. Freeman Parker, by whom these records were begun and under whose direction they were continued, was born at Barnstable, Mass., 13 July, 1776. He was fitted by the Rev. Oakes Shaw of Barnstable for Harvard College, which he entered in 1793. After his graduation in 1797, he studied theology, and upon being licensed by the Andover Association he, after preaching three months in Dresden, Me., became the first ordained and settled minister of the Congregationalist Church in that town, at a salary of $500 per year, under a contract which continued from his settlement in September, 1801, until his release of the town therefrom in 1816.
Mr. Parker continued to reside in Dresden until 1829, and to preach occasionally for a society organized there, after the dissolution of his contract with the town, until 1835. He married Rebecca, a daughter of Hon. Thomas Rice of Wiscasset, 6 November, 1804. Upon leaving his home in Dresden he took up residence in Wiscasset, where he lived until his death, 24 April, 1854, in the house which his wife's father had built and lived in.
Mr. Parker's sight began to fail about the time of his ordination, and in a few years he became totally blind, and was afterwards known as the "blind preacher of Dresden." Having no successor in Dresden, and the organization of his church apparently lapsing at his removal from that town, his book of records remained in his possession, and in it certain entries were made during his residence in Wiscasset, where he at times preached in the First Parish Church. The book is now in the possession of Mrs. S. D. Brewster of New York City, who is a great-granddaughter of Mr. Parker, and who has kindly allowed a copy to be made for the use of this Society.

Church confession
You do now in the presence of Almighty God and before this Christian assembly profess your sincere belief in the existence providence and government of one God, who is infinitely wise just and good, the searcher of hearts and the judge of all the earth. You believe in the truth, inspiration and sufficiency of the holy Scriptures. You believe that God spake to the fathers by the prophets, and now in the Gospel speaketh unto us by his only begotten Son, who is the brightness of the fathers glory and the express image of his person, and the one mediator between God and man. You believe in mans primeval innocence, voluntary transgression and unhappy apostacy. You believe in the universal sinfulness of mankind, and in the necessity of renovation of heart and life by the Spirit of God. You believe in a future state of righteous retribution, in the resurrection of the body and a final Judgment. You believe that the terms of salvation are repentence for sin, faith in the Saviour, and a life devoted to God in holy obedience. You humbly and penitently confess your sins of every name and nature, and sincerely implore the forgiveness of them through the merits of Jesus Christ in whom we have redemption through his blood according to the riches of his grace. You truly desire to dedicate yourself to God in newness of life and sincerely resolve to deny all ungodliness and conform your temper and practice to the Spirit, laws and institutions of Christianity. You commit yourself to the care and discipline of this Christian Church and promise to comply with its internal rules and regulations, so far as they are agreeable to the Gospel, and to walk in communion with it so long as God shall give you opportunity.
Thus you believe, confess, resolve and promise.
You are now under the sacred bonds of the covenant. The vows of God are upon you. And in the name of this Church I declare you to be a member of it in full communion, and promise that we will watch over you in the spirit of meekness and charity, and endeavour to promote your present and everlasting welfare. And now it is our most earnest prayer that God would pour out his spirit upon us and bless us and from time to time add to our number such as shall be saved, and that the glorious and blessed day may at length arrive when all the families of the earth shall be united into one christian society under Jesus Christ who is made head over all things to the church. Amen.
