Excerpt from The Churches of Mattatuck: A Record of a Bi-Centennial Celebration at Waterbury, Connecticut, November 4th and 5th, 1891 Not mine alone, this story of the past. Mine the dim outline, - other hands have caught The changing colors of the centuries vast And life's sweet charm into the canvas wrought. Not mine; and yet I fondly press my claim! Have I not watched the picture slowly grow, Adding, the while, event and date and name - Some touch of light - to win perfection so? And now, O friends long loved, my finished task To you I bring. That it should speak of me In any time to come, I do not ask; But let it teach you evermore to be To that great past more just, responsive, true, Whence through the years God's message come to you.
