SECOND SEVENTH-DAY BAPTIST CHURCH, BROOKFIELD, NEW YORK.
This community, a branch of the First Brookfield Church, was organized in 1823, and Eli S. Bailey became its first pastor. Under his ministry the church enjoyed several of those auspicious seasons denominated revivals of religion, and continued many years in a state of general peace and prosperity. Elder Bailey was educated for the medical profession, which he pursued for some time with eminent success. At this period neither his habits of life nor associations gave promise of his ever becoming a Christian minister; but, notwithstanding that his profession was one of honour, and opened before him a fair path to wealth and eminence, his heart turned towards the task of winning souls to God. In 1839, James Bailey was associated as licentiate, and subsequently as elder, in the ministry of this church. Rev. Samuel B. Crandall succeeded in 1842, and continued for one year, when Elder Bailey again assumed the spiritual charge, which he continues to exercise.
