Excerpt from An Address at the Two Hundredth Anniversary: Of the Building of the Meeting-House in Hingham, Mass, August 8, 1881 The service in the afternoon began at two o'clock, and the order of exercises was the same as in the morning, except that toward the end one of the deacons rose and said, Brethren of the congrega tion, now there. Is time left for contribution, where fore as God hath. Prospered you, so freely o¿'er. Whereupon the magistrates and chief gentlemen first, then the elders and all the men, all single women, widows and women in absence of their hus bands, came up one after another and put their money into a wooden box, and, if they had anything else to give, they left it in the Deacons' seate and passed on. In this seat, besides the two deacons, sat one person in this parish, named Matthew Hawke, who took down in short-hand the sermons.
