Autobiogaphical sketch of RevRoyal Crafts Spaulding : and extracts from letters of himself, and of his wife, Jerusha Bryant Spaulding, with notes and explanatory text . of worship, in the village, to be occupied al-ternately by the Bap. and Cong.

In Jan. 1834, Ire-signed my charge in Levant, and became Pastor of the BaptistChmxh at East Corinth, about six miles from Levant, where welabored nine years with that tlear people, and formed preciousfriendship, in both of those towns, that we trust will be perpetu-ated in the heavenly world. In the summer of 1844, I was sent by the Maine Baptist Mission-ary Board to Aroostook County, as one of the pioneer Missionaries ; *Rev. Otis Brig-gs of Hampden, and Mr. Dexttrof Corinth aided in the services. (Mem-orial Discourse by Rev. Isaiah Record.) Barstow Bryant was born at Newcastle, Lincoln Co., Maine, February 1,1801. Her parents, Charles and Elizabeth Louden Biyant, were of Irish descent, and had afamily of one son and eight daughters. When Jerusha was quite young- the family removedto Bangor, where she became a constituent member of the First Baptist church, and liveduntil her AUTOBIOGRAPHY. V and the winter following, in the month of February, I moved myfamily* by the direction of the Mission Board to Houlton village,where we have remained for more than thirty years past; andwhat we have done, or left undone, we must leave altogether withDivine Providence, not without many regrets that we have accom-plished so little. Still I wish to acknowledge, with gratitude to God, that He haspermitted us to work so long in His vineyard, and that He hasbeen pleased, as I trust, to bless my poor labors with some success ;and now I am laid aside from Zions work, yet rejoice and thankGod that His blessed cause is more and moie precious to us both,and that we find His Holy Word a great comfort and support tous in our old age, with its infirmities. Our earnest prayer shall continue, ??Thy Kingdom come. Thywil
