2025-01-22 - The organ built by Mr. Roberts is pronounced by Mr. Webb to be a very superior instrument. -- from NEW JERUSALEM MAGAZINE, No. CCCCIX, Vol. XXXIV, MARCH, 1862: "Dedication of a New House of Worship." p.378. Full paragraph below. "The house of worship erected by the Society of the New Church in Brookline was dedicated to the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ on Saturday, the 22d of February last, by appropriate religious services. The reading of the Scriptures was by Rev. J. C. Ager, the officiating minister of the Society, and the discourse by Rev. Thomas Worcester, D. D. The exercises were highly interesting. The house is a very beautiful edifice, built of stone, in simple Gothic style. It is capable of seating three hundred persons, and was completely filled on the occasion. The organ built by Mr. Roberts is pronounced by Mr. Webb to be a very superior instrument." -Paul R. Marchesano
