Excerpt from A Brief Historical Sketch of the Suffolk North Conference of Congregational Churches Nov. 6, 1861, the first regular meeting was held in Mount Vernon Church, when it may be said our little craft was launched and put upon its voyage to the better land. Sixteen churches were represented; thirteen by pastors, and two of the delegates were ministers, and they - the Rev. Asa Ballard and the writer - are the only ministers now living who were at the formation of this conference and are still active members. The pastor and good people of Mount Vernon Church gave °us a warm and cordial reception, and furnished a bountiful collation, though many deemed that utterly out of the question because of the large numbers in attendance, a custom, however, ever since followed.
