The History of Germain Street Baptist Church, St. John, N.B., for its first one hundred years, 1810-1910

The centennial account chronicles a local Baptist congregation’s first hundred years, recounting early evangelical visits and baptisms, the congregation’s organization and growth, and the succession of pastors and long-serving officers. It explains the loss of early records in a destructive fire and describes the committee’s efforts to compile history from surviving minutes, published accounts, sermons, and personal recollections. The narrative includes biographical sketches of deacons, descriptions of buildings and interior arrangements, detailed mortgage and financial records, notes on Sunday School and benevolence administration, and closing reflections on the founders’ sacrifices and future hopes.
