Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Golden Anniversary Exercises, Historical Record and Manual of the Second Congregational Church, Rockford, Illinois: November 7, 1849-November 7, 1899
The second purpose was to hand down to the future members of the church and congregation a record of the zeal and self-sacrificing struggles of its founders to establish a church of Jesus Christ, and of the many years of fruitful service in His vineyard. And to all those who come after, and enter into the life and work of our church, this record is dedicated, with the sincere hope that it may ever prove an inspiration to render grateful and loyal service.
