"1844.
Rev. G. W. Stearns came to Wellfleet in 1844, and found a large congregation, a membership of three hundred, and a very good life manifested. He reported thirty conversions with twelve baptisms, a Sunday school of two hundred and fifty, and a net increase of eighteen in the church. His salary was four hundred dollars, and the missionary collection was twenty-two dollars. Three hundred and seventy-five dollars were paid on a parsonage debt, and thirty dollars collected for education.
1845.
His second year was less prosperous. There were many removals, and the general interest rather decreased. He says, in the church record, " Our prosperity here has been hindered in a great easure by a lack of mutual confidence in one another, through which the Devil has had a triumph. May it be short! " This year seventy-five dollars were raised for missions. The preacher must have worked hard to secure such an advance.
Brother Stearns was converted in October of 1834, at Newbury Seminary, Vt.: " the oldest son, spiritually, of that institution." He commenced preaching under the presiding elder in 1835, and joined the New Hampshire Conference in 1837, of which body he was a member until 1842, when he located. Coming to Barnstable, Mass., he preached one year, and joined the Providence Conference in 1843, and filled various appointments, till he took a supernumerary relation in 1855. He is now practising medicine in New Bedford, Mass., but says, " I regard the itinerant life as the highest and best of earth; it was taking a long step down to enter and continue in my present work; but necessity was laid upon me, and still remains.""
