Clearly, with such a principle, and with all the particulars of practice which it implied, the Congregationalist Church of New England was, after all, a State Church, and a pretty strict State Church too.
Abbie's got a hair breastpin and a tortoise shell comb, but she only wears 'em to the Congregationalist meetin'-house, where she's reasonably sure there ain't likely to be any sneak-thieves. She went to a Unitarian sociable once, but she carried 'em in a bag inside her dress."
He said Phil was a regular abolitionist," Flora explained with her pretty smile. "What's an abbylitionzist?" asked Grace. "Ask Sylvia. I heard my father say that Sylvia's father was one," answered Flora. "I don't know. But my father is a Congregationalist," replied Sylvia. "Perhaps that's what your father meant."
Moreover, as the chief of them held by the Congregationalist principle in some form, and hoped to flourish by taking advantage of that principle, it was not unusual for Presbyterian writers to include these along with the Congregationalists proper in the one lax designation of Independents.
"I know I will explain to you," he went on, moving Father Riley to another indulgent smile by his willingness to instruct the gray-bearded Congregationalist who had interrupted. "When I saw that there must be a hell for all so long as there is a hell for one even for Spencer I suddenly saw there was nothing in any man to merit the place unless it were the ignorance of immaturity.
Williams, it is to be remembered, had held these views while he was yet only a Congregationalist generally, and before he had become a Baptist.

For baby is restless to-night and Jennie has brought him down to rock him to sleep here and keep me company. The years pass in review before me. Thank God for the dear wife who three years ago persuaded me that I was a Christian more than a Congregationalist. The years have not been unfruitful. The work has been, oh! so little, and the harvest so great!
Stoughton has in vain, in a number of the Congregationalist, attempted to record the memory of a man well known and much honoured in his day—the Rev. John Alexander, of Norwich. The portrait is a failure.
Miss Graham was a devout Congregationalist, and hushed the others into gravity when their eyes began to dance dangerously. However, as Mr. Pill warmed to his work, the girls grew sober enough. He awed them, and frightened them with the savagery of his voice and manner.
"I've been married once by a Baptist minister, once by a Methodist, and the third time by a Congregationalist; last time a Unitarian tied the knot. So this once I thought I would have an Episcopal, because their white robe lends tone. And Rev. Mr. Woodthorn has come without his. He says he never brings it to the house weddings unless specially requested.
