Rev. David Clark Rev. David Clark, the second pastor of the church, was born in 1832, and came to our society at the age of twenty-seven. His ministry with us began in 1859, and continued but two years, being the shortest pastorate in the society's history. He came to us direct from college, and gained much experience in this, his first field of labor, which was of help in his after lifework in the Christian ministry. He died in 1898.

Before coming to Somerville, he had preached in Ohio, Lansing, Mich., Rockport, and East Boston. Rev. Mr. Vibbert was extremely popular among the young people, and is remembered as a man of fine tastes and sensibilities. In the issue of the Somerville Journal of March 24, 1877, it was said: This is the only church of the denomination in the city; hence the attendants come from all parts. There is considerable interest in the meetings, particularly among the young people, who are a large part of the society. The society is noted for the festive occasions which it celebrates, always taking pains to observe them with considerable spirit.

Sunday school concerts, as such, were unknown at first, but Exhibitions were held to which an admission was charged. These materially increased the treasury funds, evidently, as $200 were made on one occasion. A troublesome problem (which still remains unsolved) to increase the attendance at the teachers' meetings occasioned the changing of the gatherings from monthly to once in three months in 1858-1859, at which times essays were read, articles in denominational papers discussed, etc. In 1860 a clock was purchased at the expense of $5; and although our present clock is not the one, it might be, as much of its youthful fastness has disappeared, and it is inclined to be a little behind the times. For some purpose not made clear in the records, a number of slates were bought in 1860, probably for the use of the younger scholars. And an item in the June 10, 1861, record, requesting the s
