PREFACE.


THE following history was read to the congregation of the Rev. John
Alexander, at a tea party in St. Andrew’s Hall, Norwich, on Tuesday
evening, April 6, 1847, which was held for the purpose of celebrating the
thirtieth year of his ministry.  It is now published in compliance with
their request, and in the same style of personal address in which it was
originally delivered.  After it had been read, several members of the
congregation addressed the meeting; and the following resolutions were
unanimously passed:—

I.  Moved by Mr. Thomas Banks, seconded by Rev. J. Bryan.

    “That the history of the Church and Congregation connected with
    Prince’s Street Chapel, during the last thirty years, which has now
    been read, should awaken in our minds devout gratitude to God for
    graciously enabling us to overcome the various difficulties which
    have arisen in our course; for the enlargement, peace, and prosperity
    which have been granted to the Church, and to the Institutions
    associated with it; and for bringing us together at this time under
    circumstances which are calculated to awaken encouraging hope for the
    future.”

II.  Moved by Mr. Joseph Colman, seconded by Mr. Thomas Brooks.

    “That on this Thirtieth Anniversary of the residence of our beloved
    Pastor in Norwich, we are devoutly grateful to God for having first
    directed him hither, and for having permitted him to labour so long
    and so successfully amongst us: that we affectionately thank him, for
    his constant and faithful devotedness to the work of the ministry and
    the welfare of his people; and that we earnestly pray, that for yet
    many years to come, he may be spared to enjoy richly the blessings of
    the gospel, which he dispenses to others.”

III.  Moved by Mr. Frederic Pigg, seconded by Mr. Charles May and Mr.
Josiah Fletcher,
