Rev. Clarence Strong Pond, the 
present pastor in the years of splen- 
did service has seen the church grow 
to a strong power in the community. 
The Italian and Scandinavian classes 
in the Sunday school have been feat- 
ures of the work done there, and his 
pastorate has been one of signal suc- 
cess. 
The history of the church at Bev- 
erly Farms dates back to the autumn 
of 1826, when Benjamin Knight of Sa- 
lem began to hold meetings in the old 
schoolhouse, which stands near the 
spot where the present church stands. 
These meetings were well attended 
and the building was crowded to its 
utmost capacity. This continued for 
three years when on Sept. 23, 1820, a 
church of eleven members, three males 
and eight females, was organized. Mr. 
Knight was ordained to the ministry 
the same day and the following day 
was settled as pastor over the church. 
This was known as a Christian Baptist 
church. 
It soon became evident that the 
schoolhouse was too small for the 
needs of the new and growing church, 
so steps were at once taken to erect a 
house of their own and Feb.22, 1830, 
the new house was dedicated. ‘This 
house was forty feet square and cost 
$1,600.00. It was built of birch, and 
had neither cupola or spire. The bricks
