Excerpt from Our Fathers' Altar: A Centennial Sermon, Preached June 7, 1846, in Commemoration of the Founding of the First Christian Church in Northborough, MassNorthborough is highly favored in possessing its own topographical and narrative history prepared with much labor, by Rev. Mr. Allen, who has thus laid the town under great obligations for his interesting researches. It is not, however, a direct object of those researches, to give a history of religious opinions in this place.
