Semi-Centennial Hymn

1909

I love Thy kingdom, Lord !

The house of Thiue abode, The church, our blest Kedeemer saved

With his own precious blood.

I love Thy church, O God !

Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thiue eye,

And graven on Thy hand.

For her my tears shall fall. For her my prayers ascend;

To her my cares and toils be given. Till toils and cares shall end.

Beyond my highest joy

I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion solemn vows.

Her hymns of love and praise.

Sure as Thy truth shall last,

To Zion shall be given The brightest glories eaiiJi can yield. And brighter bliss of heaven.

Preface

This little volume was authorized by the Session. As its title indicates, the object was to preseiTC a record of some events in the first fifty years of the First Presbyterian Church.

Omng to the fact that only scant records were compiled during the eai'Iier jx^ars, and that, of these, somie, were lost in mo\ang" from the old to the new church, the committee acknowledges its indebted- ness to some of the earlier friends and members of the church for valuable infonination, and to later ones for assistance rendered.

It must not be inferred that those whose najnes or features ap- pear were more active or deserving than solme others. It is only that some incident or circumstance brought the former intO' more prominence. Time and space woiild fail us to tell of the many whose lives were a blessing to the church and around whose memory there lingers a sweet odor.

In perusing this book results only are seen. The work of com- piling it, requiring the careful examination of the records for fifty years, the corresjwndemce, the collecting of needed information, and all later details are inconceivable to those who have not had a like experience.

Because of having had this work to do, this committee may at tach undue importance to what, after all, may meet with no special favor.

Be that asi it may, without minimizing tJie work of the other membea's of the comlmittee, it is due to its chairman, INIiss Lucy A. Ware, to state that the whole idea of this souvenir book is her own and its carrying out largely due to- her untiring efforts.

Historical Sketch of the First Presbyterian Church

1859-1909

We boast of being the first church organization to erect a build- ing for worship in the city of Port Scott, and the credit of that build- ing is largely due, as is the foundation of other churches, to the faith and energy of a few womien.

As early as the siimniier of 1859, when the poimlation was small, and the number of those of any religious belief was still smaller, Eev. Eankin came here from Buffalo, N. Y., a long journey in those days, and organized a Presbyterian Church, composed of three mem- bers, Mrs. Wpi. Smith, Mrs. Alex McDonald, and Mr. J. S. Calkins, the latter being eilected the first Elder. It was a small beginning, but "large oaks from little acorns grow," and it prospered.

Eev. Eankin reimained with his small but hopeful congregation about one year, and upon his dei>arture the church engaged the serv- ices of Mr. S. N. Mitchell of Missouri, who remained with them un- til the breaking out of the Civil War.

The congreigation was now for some time without a leader, but in March, 1861, Eev. Austin Warner was sent to the West by the Presbyterian Mission Board. His headquarters was at Fort Lin- coln, and having a large circuit, he was enabled to preach to the Fort Scott congregation but once a month, while at times he was unable to find any room available for public services.

On April 1, 1861, the tom^n company deeded the two lots at the southeast comer of Main and Third street to the following gentle- men, in trust, for the Presbyterian church : Messrs. W. E. Judson,

H. T. Wilson, J. S, Kedfield, S. A. Williams, Alex McDonald, and Geo. A. CraiWford.

Owing to the fact that the distractions incident toi war times had stagnated everything but the spirit of conflict, and virtually left a blank so far as religious progression was concerned, little was accomplished for the next two years. In 18G3, the first steps were taken toward the erection of a church building. The foundation was finished in 1864, and the first church building was completed and ready for sendees in the autumn of 1865, the actual cost being 13,269.

Fi'om the first organization of the church, prayer meetings Mere held regularly at the home of either Mrs. Alex McDonald or Mrs. Win. Smith. A sewing society was also organized, including, beside the church members, a number of ladies who did not belong to any chiirch, but -n'orked for the good of the cause, and in later years united with the church. Evening socials were held, where light refreshments were served, and all contributed to the general fund.

In October, 1865, Rev. Qeo. A. In'in was called as the first Pas- tor. He preached the first sermon in the new church on Nov. 20, and on Dec. 3, the Church was formally dedicated as a place of public worship. As great difficulty was exijerienced at this time in finding a suitable room for a, service, the Presbyterians came to the relief of the Methodists and tendered thean the use of the church for one service on each Sabbath, which offer was gladly accepted. This arrangement Avas continued for over a year, or until the Methodist organization had a home of its own. The Sabbath school was con- ducted as a union school, having officers and teachers from both denominations.

Rev. Irvin remained Avith the church for three years, doing effi- cient woirk. The meetings of the Session recorded during these years are full of indications of the earnest, faithful efforts on the part of both Pastor and officers to maintain a Presbyterian church, and no

small burden of respousihililj and labor was laid on tbeir shoulders. In October, 1868, Rev. T. Y. Gardner, the second pastor, entered upon his duties and supplied the pulpit for one year, after which he was installed as regular pastor. The church was now self-sustain- ing. The membership had been increased to eighty, and a comfort- able manse had been built. Eev. Irviu remained with the church for three years, when the relation between pa.stor and people was dis- solved by Presbytery.

In January, 1872, Eev. William C. Porter came as the third pastor of this church, and from that early date has been identified with its every move.

It is not necessaiy to review minutely the varying fortunes of the church and its people during all these years, as they struggled against the vicissitudes incidental to the early days and a new and undeveloped country. All who are faaniliar with life in the West can fully understand the many difficulties surrounding a church, particularly where a powerful saloon element was intrenched in op- position, to neutralize the best efforts. It is sufficient to say that the Presbyterian church conquered and flourished, and today can be seen the fiiiits of the struggle in the many beneficent influences of a Christian religion that vitalizes all it touches.

Although this church and congregation had fre(iueutly stag- gered under the burden of current expenses its increasing growth demanded, in the early '80's, a more conunodious place of wor.ship. Shoulders were placed to the wheels, and they soon forged ahead. It might be deemed advisable at this point to mention the names of those men who have given such substantial financial aid to the church, but these facts are, to the minutest detail, given a place in the official records of the Board of Trustees, and realizing that it is very difficult "to draw the line," and earnestly desiring to avoid giv- ing offense to the few, or to the many, personalities, in this particu- lar line, have been omitted. The church feels deeply its debt of grati- tude to many of its members, and also to Messrs. Jas. S. McCord,

Robt. McCord, R. J. Harris, and W. J. Moore, who, though regular attendants at the services, were not members of the church, but have generously placed both time and money at the disposal of the Trus- tees.

The last meeting in the old church on Main street was held on Sunday, September 16, 1888, and on September 23 the second church home at the corner of Third and Crawford streets was dedicated. The day was especially beautiful. A congregation of more than eight hundred people, including representatives from every church in the city, assembled to share, in a measure, the deep gratification of the miembers over the accomplishment of a long cherished design. The sermon, by D'r. McCabe, of Toj^ekai, was an eloquent dis- course fromi Acts, 15:10, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common," and he chose for his theme, "What is good enough for God is good enough for us." The sen'ices were especially im- pressive, and the members in attendance left the church feeling that tliey had entered upon a new era of church life, with greatly enlarged facilities for their work.

Upon the pulpit, dui'ing this service, lay a very finely illustrated Bible, bound in Turkey Morocco, a gift from Miss Eliza Hawley, a former member of this church, who upon hearing of the new house of worship generously forwarded this donation to the completed edifice.

After nearly thirty-five years of most successful work as pastor of this church, the Presbytery of Neosho, at Pleasanton, conferred upon Dr. W. C. Porter the title of Pastor Emeritus. So sweet had been his infiuence, so healing his ministry, that the choice of his successor was made -n-ithout a division of sentimient, and the unani- mous call of the church was extended to Rev. Alfred E. Vanorden, who in August, 1906, assumed the more active duties of the pas- torate.

His earnest, diirect and pcxwerful presentation of the Gospel, his pleasing personal appearance, his manifest devotion to each de-

partiment of his parish duty, has commended and endeared him to his congregation, and he is now our Semi-Centennial Pastor. In the various lines of church work the growth has been steady, indi- cating that Pastor, Pastor Emeritus, officers and people are still working in harmiony and for the highest and best interests of the church.

Some interesting, but little known facts in our church histoi*y may be of benefit to some of our readers.

In 1842, Fort Scott was a military post, and the ground used as a burial place was in the Northwestern part of our present city, extending as far East as Crawford street, and as far South as First street. This ground was used by the residents until 1862, when on Septemlber 30, Mr. John G. Stewart sold to the Presbyterian church society a plot of gi'ound twenty-eight rods square — a part of the present National Cemetery — for |75.00, and they established a cem- etery there. This was used by both citizens and soldiers until August 15, 1873, when the United States Government purchased the land for 1300.00, and, T\ith the addition of an equa'l portion adjoining, converted it into a National Cemetery.

The first church bell was a gift from Mr. Alex McDonald, and his wife presented to the church its first silver communion set.

On June 19, 1870, it was ordered by the Session that unferment- ed wine should be used at the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and! that the preparatory lecture should be given on the ^Mednesday evening preceding the communion season.

For several years the different Ladies' Societies of the churcli had worked and planned toward the future purchase of a pipe organ, and during the first year of Rev. Vanorden's pastorate, with his added help and encouragement, the accumulations were sufficient to justify the purchase of the instrument. After necessary altera- tions in the church building were completed, the present beautiful pipe organ, which has been a source of great pleasure to all, was in-

stalled and foriuall}' dedicated at a Recital given on Thursday, May 27, 1907.

Mr. John M. Go(tdsell expressed his love for the church which he had served so long as Elder and as Sunday School officer, by the gift, in 1907, of the Individual Codnnilinion Set, which has proved so useful. He has since entered into the coamulinion above.

During the pastorate of Dr. Porter more than one thousand names were added to the church roll. This is about seventy per cent of the entire list of conuuunicants.

The largest number of accessions to the church at any one serv- ice, during its history, was on Sunday, February 28, 1886, after the close of a series of revival services, conducted by W. H. Claggett and Ches Birch of St. Louis, when seventy-seven persons were re- ceived; the larger nuuiber being on confession of faith, of ^^hom about thirty-five were baptized.

In August, 1909, Mr. Alvin J. Cowen, youngest son of Mr. John D. CoAven, presented to tliis church a beautiful Baptismal Font, in memory of his father, who for twenty-seven years served this church as an Elder.

Biographical Sketch of the Pastors

BY DR. W. C. PORTER

It would be very pleasant and inteiresting if we could have a complete sketch of the life, of each man who labored in "The day of small things," in building up a church. But such a record is hard to obtain after fifty years have passed away and with the years most of those whose character and work we wo[uld gladlly preseiwe. Early records are imperfectly kept or neglected because we do not perceive their importance or future value. Much of this article was gathered from the clippings saved by individuals, especially Mrs. A. H. Camp- bell.

In the summer of 1859, Rev. Mr. Eankin of Buffalo, N. Y., visited Fort Scott and organized the First Presbyterian Church with three members, Mrs. Jane Smjith, Mrs. Alex McDonald and Mr. J. S. Caulkins. Mr. Rankin remained for some time with this little band, preaching in the old Military Hospital as frequently as the use of the building could be secured.

After Mr. Rankin's departure, the church engaged Rev. S. N. Mitchell of Missouri, as stated supply. He remained with them, preaching every other Sunday evening, until the Civil War broke out, when he left to go with the South where he deemed his duty called him. Mr. Mitchell afterw^ards returned to the Presbyterian Church, North, came to Kansas, joined the Presbytery of Neosho, and after several years of labor within its bounds, died at Scamnuon, Kansas.

March, 1861, Rev. Austin Warner moved with his family from Lexington, Missouri, to Kansas. He made his home for a time at Mound City. Blut he soon secured a piece of land near Fort Lincoln

and settled upon it as his permianent home. He preached at Fulton. Fort Lincoln, Pleasant Hill and Mapleton. During the summer of 1861, Mr. Caulkins visited him to see if some arrangement could not

be made to supply the church at Fort Scott. The best that could be done was to arrange for preaching once a month. This was con- tinued until 1865. In the meantime the church and congregation had increased in numbers and strength: the Town Company had deeded two lots on Main and Third sti*eets to cetrtain gentlemen, as trustees, to be held in trust for the Presbyerian Church. The peo- ple were agitating the question of building a house of worship. Talk-

, ing with Alex McDonald one day about the project, Mr. Warner proposed to attend the meeting of Presbytery at Leavenworth and secure, if possible, a gTant of money fromi the Church Erection Com- mittee. "All right," said Mr. ftlcDonakl, "how much can you get?" Mr. Warner replied "I do not know, but shall ask for |500." Mc- Donald's answer was "I will double whatever amount you secure." Sir. Warner drove from Fort Scott to Leavenworth, attended the meeting of the Presbytery of Highland, and secured a grant of Five Hundred Dollars. Thus the Avork was launched. Mrs. A. H. Campi- bell says, "In 1863 the first steps towards building were taken. Mr. William Smith was appointed treasurer and a subscription was started which had amounted in 1865 to |3,200." In C. W. Good- lander's "Early Days of Fort Scott" I find this record : "In the sum- mer of 1863 I built the stone building across the street opposite the Wilder House. . . .The same year I built the first Church in Foirt Scott for the Presbyterians." In all this work Rev. Austin Warner was active and continued to preach to the congregation. The Church edifice was completed and ready for occupancy in the fall of 1865. In that year Rev. Warner was elected to the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for Bourbon County. As the duties of the office would demand all his time, Mr. Warner looked about for a suc- cessoir who could take charge of the hopeful and encouraging field. He had known Rev. George A. Irvin in Hanover College; knew his

page fifteen

st-holariy attainments and his ability as a preacher and wrote to hinr suggesting that he visit the city and if the way oi>ened, take charge of the Church and of the Public School. The result of the negotia- tions was that Mr. Inin was called as pastor and November 20, 1865, preached the first seraion in, the new House of Worship, tiiking as his text John, 5th chapter and 40th verse, "And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life." The Church was dedicated by Rev. George A. Irvin December 3, 1865, sermon from Nehemiah 10 : 39, "We will not foreake the house of our God."

Mr. Wai'ner's relation to the Church ended with the cofming of iMJr. Irvin : but he was peraiitted to see, as the resiult of the laUors of himself and others, a commodious House of Worship and an en- thusiastic congregation. Mr. Warner still lives in our city and is identified with the work of the Church.

Rev. George A. Irvin remained with the Church for three years, 1865-1868. He was a strong man, ^^ell equipped for his work and under his administration the Church prospered. From Fort Scott Mr. Iiwin removed to Council Grove where he remained for several years as pastor of the Presbyterian Church. His health failing, he went to California where he labored and at last, "full of years," and honored by all who knew him as a good man and faithful sei-vant of the Church, he passed to his reward in October, 1897, at Anneheim, California.

Rev. Theodore Y. Gardner was one of the band of eight young men, who in the summer of 1868, came to Hansas from Union Semin- ary, N:ew York. They were ordained to the ministry by the Presby- tery of Ozark in Kansas City, Missouri. Most of them settled in this Southeastern corner of Kansas, in the territoi"y now embraci'd in the Presbytery of Neosho. In October, 1868, Mr. Gardner was called to the pastorate of the church which was now self-supporting. Mr. Gardner was a young m|an of fine abilities, but he was not physically strong and after three years of work with the Church was obliged to resign. The last of October, 1871, he closed his labors with this

church and after a short time far rest, took charge of tho First Presbyterian Church in Lawrence, Kansa^:, where he remained be- tween five and six years. In 1878 he returned to Ohio and became pastor of the Congregational Church in Hudson, Ohio. He remained with that church nine years, when he resigned to take a position as Secretary of American Education Society, an organization of the Congregationalists, corresponding to our Board of Education. He continued in this office tem years. His health being very poor, he re- signed this arduous and responsible office and became the Pastor of the Presbytei'ian Church in G'lemdlle a suburb of Cleveland. After two years he was obliged to give up this charge and with it the reg- ular work of the ministry, though he preached frequently for vacant churches. His last years were spent in Cleveland, Ohio, where he died Februai"y, 1900, after an illness of ten days, "His end was peace."

In November, 1871, Rev. W. C. Porter, who was just ending liis six years of ministerial labor \\dth the First Presbyterian Church in Coldwater, Michigan, received a letter from the elders of the First Presbyterian Church, signed by John Cassell, Clerk of Session, in- viting him to visit the Church as a candidate for the pastorate left vacant by the resignation of Rev. T. Y. Gardner in October. He re- plied that if the Church would do certain things he would visit them the third Sabbath in November. The arrangement was made and he came. He spent two Sabbaths witli the Church and the inteiwen- ing days visiting the members of the congregation. The visit was followed by a call to serve the Church one year as Stated Supply and then if mutually satisfied to be installed as Pastor. This call was accepted and Januai*y 1, 1872, Mr. Porter commenced his work as Stated Supply. November, 1872, received a call to settle as Pastor and June, 1873, was installed Pastor over the Church by a Com- mittee of Neosho Presbytery. He remained in the service of the Church until August, 190G, when Rev. A. E. Vanorden was installed as Pastor. January, 190G, Mi', Porter offered his resignation as

page seventeen

Pastor, reasons assigned "advancing age and physical infirmities." After some consultation the matter was referred to a Committee and the resignation was accepted the sajne to take effect in April at the meeting of Nfeosho Presbytery in that month, and that Mr. Porter be retired as Pastor Emeritus. Elders Bright and Calhoun were appointed to represent the Church in Presbytery. At the meeting in Pleasanton, the miatter was discussed, the mutual good under- standing of the Church and Pastor as set forth by the Committee and Mr. Porter, and on motion Presbytery voted that the relation existing between Mr. Porter and the Church be changed from Pastor to Pastor Einieritus.

One of the benedictions with which we are all familiar: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the com- munion of thei Holy Gho.st, be with you all. Amen."

DR. W. C. PORTER

Dr. Porter's Life With This Church

On November, 1.871, the cburcli being vaoant by the resignation of Rev. T. Y. Gardner, the Session met in the church to consider calling a supply. There were present Rev. James Lewis, of Hum*- boldt, as Moderator, John Cassell, J. N. Binford, J. M. Bright and two corresjwnding members, J. M. Ferguson and J. L. Westervelt.

The Moderator and Mr. Westei'velt each presented the name of a person he regarded as fitted for the place, and these were the only names presented. Among the qualifications of the man recomiuended by Dr. Lewis was that he was a skilled musician, and could lead the singing or play accomlpaniments. Mr. Westervelt discreetly made no allusion to the musical accomplishments of his man, but one thing he did say, which so impressed his hearers that a correspond- ence was begun then and there which resulted la William (\ Porter becoming Pastor of the First Church of Fort Scott. That remark was, that he never entered the pulpit without preparation.

After nearly thirty-five years of active service his parishioners can veli'ify the stateaneut. The following appears in the minutes of that date: "On motion the stated Clerk, John Cassell, was instruct- ed to invite Rev. W. C. Porter, of Coldwater, Michigan, to visit us with a view to the pastorate. ETe came, held service two Sabbaths, visited the people, and soon after returning hoinc received and ac- cepted a call to supply the church, entering upon "nhat proved to be his life work on January 1st, 1872. No other name was ever con- sidered, and no other church visited, which shows the extent of the candidacy business of the unworldly wise people of those days. He was installed as regular pastor in January, 1873.

In the Biographical Sketch by Dr. Portor, lie fully derails the incidents attending his assuming and laying down the burden af the pastorate.

The task of attempting to record some of the important work of Dr. Porter and his wife in theJong and eventful interim, and to give a brief history of his life before coming here, has been assigned by the Session to the writer.

Were this intended for the present day readers it would not be ■n-ritt#n. To tell them anything about these two, whose lives are open books, read by all, would be Idle. But as this volume is a brief history of the first fifty years of the First Presbyterian Church, it would be Incomplete without a sketch of the life of one who was its Pastor for over two-thirds of that time and the most conspicu- ous figure in its history.

W. C. Porter was born on the Isle of Jersey. Soon aftei-wards the family came to this country and located near the then town of Chicago, Illinois. The father, also a minister, was received into the Presbytery of Chicago ^\"here he labored for over forty years.

The son William, desirous of lightening the father's burden in maintaining a large family, and paying for his own education, at the age of fifteen entered the seiTice of a blacksmith, and became an expert horse-shoer. This served a good purpose later as while in college and seminary, he frequently shed horses, mornings, evenings and Saturdays, somtimes making |5.00 a day.

In his 18t.h year he entered Knox College, Galesburg; thence after four years to Wabash, and thence after one year to Lane Semi- nary, where he remained two years.

In June 1859 the Presbytery of Chicago (N. S.) licensed him to preach, and in October of that year, on the recommendation of Dr. R. T\1. Patterson, he accepted a call to the church of Plymouth, Indiana.. The Presbytery of St. Joseph (N. S.) in w"hich that church was located oflaiued him in the spring of 1860.

In July '61 he enlisted in the 20th Ind. Vol. Infantry, and was at once elected Chaplain of the regiment. He ministered to the wounded and dying at Gettysburg, Petersburg, Malvern Hill and all the engagements of the Army of the Potomac. He witnessed the engagement between the Merrimac and Little Monitor, and was at the front when Lee surrendered.

When mustered out in July, 18G5, he returned to his old home in Naperville, 111., and in December of the same year accepted a call to the church of Coldwater, Mich., which he served for six years, when he came to Fort Scott.

He was soon made a member of the Bloard of Home Missions of Presbytery and for eighteen years was Chairman. At that time the Synod of Kansas included the whole of Oklahoma Territory and a part of Texas, and the Presbytery embraced, besides about twelve counties in southeastern Eansas, that part of Oklahoma in which were the mission schools and churches of the Cherokees, Creeks and Seminoles. With all these activities his committee had to keep in touch. Sometimes hours and days were spent over the problem of how to make a few thousand dollars of the Board's funds do the work of many thousands. He often visited these churches and schools, helping them in their efforts. He organized five churches, and dedicated four houses of worship.

In his home county also work has been done which, though in some instances has not met expectations, owing to the changes and removals incident to a new country, is leaving its impress on suc- ceeding generations.

In March, 1872, Mr. Porter held a week's special service at Un- iontown and in May following he and Kev. James Lewis organized there a church of eighteen miembers. After some reverses and changes, this church is now happily nestled in the pretty little valley of Petersburg and is one of the most prosperous little country churches in the Presbytery.

In the hard, times of '74-'75, grasshopper years, the church was sorely pressed. In the spring of 1875 Dr. Porter was considering an urgent recall from the Church of Coldwater. One May morning some of the elders and trustees called at the parsonage to discuss the situation. The outlook was discouraging. Myriads of young hoppers \\'ere devouring everything and there was not a green thing in sight. When it was impressed upon Mr. and Mts. Porter by an urgent appeal, how the future welfare of the church depended upon their remaining they not only decided to do so, but he voluntarily reduced his salaiy for an indefinite time. It is a matter of history that in the latter part of May the hoppers vanished as suddenly as they came, and the corn crop that year beat all records.

In '79 and 80, with Pvev. J. W. Talbott, the districts of Fair- moaiut and Fish Creek were visited, services held and in August, 1880, the church of Glendale was organized. They also at intei-vals held special service in the Gilfillan neighboi'hood, which was first visited at an early day by Kev. T. Y. Gardner and an elder. Today some of the best blood in the veins of our First Church is from these Glendale and Gilfillan sources.

In the spring of 1888 work on the edifice of the new First Church was begun and in September of the same year was dedicated by Dr. F. S. McCabe of Topeka. ,

In April, 1889, a chiu'ch was organized at Fulton, Kansas, and in 1901, largely through the efforts of a zealous band of ladies, a neat house of worship was finished, furnished and dedicated.

For a man of Dr. Porter's appearance his power of endurance wias gTcat. One man who voted against calling him, to Fort Scott afterwards told him that he did it because he did not want the church to have a preacher's funeral on hands so soon. He endured the hardship of army life with scarcely a day's sickness. In all the years of his pastorate he never failed of an appointment on accooint of illness, save once, when on his way to the train for Wabash col- lege where he was to deliver an address, he was thrown from a car-

page twenty-two

riage and sustained an injury that prevented his going. Day or night, in all kinds of weather he would i*espond to a call to go any- where, often far out in the country, to preach the funeral of a little child, or perhaps of a stranger. Compensation he rarely got and never exjiected. He esteemed it a privilege to do these things in the Master's name.

But why prolong this record. Porter — \Fort Scott — To our people throughout Neosho Presbytery and the Synod of Kansas, these two names are familiar and inseparably connectedu

Through the life and influence of the former may the cburch of the latter namje, stand for a purer religion and a truer Presbyter- ianislm.

As his wife shared in his labors here and has entered into eternal rest, it is the desire of the people to record some expression of her worth. She was an ideal minister's wife, if that consists in giving her life to the cause. Like King Samuel's ideal, "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idle- ness."

The Manse was the stopping place of all the ministers seeking information from the Chairman of the Home Mission Board. While neglecting no duty to home or children, she found time to assist in all the social functions of the church; attend the meetings of the Ladies' Society, and of the Missionary Society, which she assisted in organizing and of which she was for years the President; to play the organ or sing in the choir ; to instruct many pupils in music ; to teach a class of boys in Sunday School of whom many will testify to her devotion and hold her in loving remembrance.

Enfeebled by labor while yet comparatively young in years her last days were spent in the quiet of home. Truly she was glad when they said unto her let us go up to the house of the Lord. When scarcely able to walk the short distance to the church, she insisted on going to the services up to the last Sabbath before her death.

who knew hei" better and loved her more than all others — her hus- band: [

Lucinda Isabella Cunulughain, daughter of Rev. John Whitr field and Elizabeth Severe Cunningham, was born at Jonesborough, Tennessee, March 15th, 1841. Her father was of Scotch Irish stock and her mother of French Huguenot. Mrs. Cunningham's father was Col. John Severe, the first Governor of Tennessee, who led the Tennessee liifletmen against the British forces in that deicisive battle at Kings Mountain which compelled the British to evacuate the Carolinas. Thus, on both sides of the house, she inherited the best Calvinistic ajid Presbyterian traditions. Of Mr. Cunningham's family, three of his brothers were Presbyterian ministers in Tenn- essee and Georgia, though J. W. Cunningham came to Indiana in au early day and ^\'as professor of sacred languages and literature in the College and Seminary at Hanover, Indiana. ^YSlen he resigned his chair in the College it was to take charge of the (iN. S.) Presby- terian Church at La Porte, Indiana. Here Lucinda spent most of her young life. After a long pastorate, the family moved to Naper- ville, Illinois, which became the family home and where M'r. Cun- ningham ended his life and service as minister of the Congregational Church.

November 27th, 1866, Lucinda A^as luaiTied to W. C. Porter, at that time pastor of tlie Presbyterian Cliurch at Coldwater, Michigan. They went at once to their field of labor and never was a young min- ister's wife received jnore graciously or treated more tenderly by a loving people. Wheji in the Providence of God they left the field, she was accustomed to say, in speaking of our life in Coldwater, "Those were my white bread and butter days." Her love for the Church was as strong as their love for her. A lady writing of her first appearance among the people forty years after the event, wrote, "She won all our hearts that first day; we loved her."

They came to Fort Scott December, 1871, and commenced work with the First Presbyterian Church Januaa'y 1st, 1872. This was her hoiule, here was the scene of her labors until she "joined the choir invisible," February 7th, 1909.

Rev. Alfred E. Vanorden

FOURTH AND PRESENT PASTOR

To complete the biographical and historical sketches of the Pastors, it is essential that the life and pastorate of Kev. Vanorden be included, without infringing the delicate rules that restrict the friendly biographer of one still living.

Alfred E. Vanorden was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on August 31st, 1873. His parents, Kev. and Mrs. E. Vanorden (Emanuel Vanorden and Bertha Doebelj^, went as missionaries to Brazil, in 1872, and still reside there. Mr. Vanordeu's early education was obtained in Eio Orande do Sul, a city in the Southern portion of Brazil, where his father was the first Protestant minister and labored for ten years. His education was completed in Europe where he went in 1887. Two years were spent in Mulhouse, Alsace, Germany, and sis years in Geneva, Switzerland. In the latter city he completed his classical course in 1892, graduated from the Ecole Prepai'atoire. After graduation he went back to Saa Paulo, Braisil, where he had a taste of commercial business experience for one year. In the fall of 1893 he was back in Geneva and entered the Ecole de Theologie, from which institution he received the degree of B. D. in 1896 after the completion of his Seminary course. He also took special work in literature and languages at the University of Geneva. Coming to this country after leaving Europe, Mr. Van- orden wetnt to Chicago: for a. year of post-graduate study in Mc- Cormick Theological Seminary. In 1905 the degree of M. A. was conferred upon him by Maiyville College of special Avork.

Mr. Vanordeu's first efPorts at preaching were made during the year spent in Brazil, between his collegiate and seminary courses.

page twenty-five

He would preach occasioually at a Mission established by his father in the suburbs of Sao Paulo. While in the Seminary he preached occasionally to churches in France and SAvitzerland. Dui'ing two summer vacations spent in Belgium he supplied for both the State and Free Evangelical churches.

In June, 1897, he accepted a call to supply the Presbyterian churches of Centervie^v and High Point, Missouri, which he served one year. On October 8th, 1897, in tlie Presbyterian Church of Centerviw, Missouri, he was ordained to the ministry by the Pres- bytery of Kansas City, having been dismissed to this Presbytery by the Presbytery of Chicago, of which he was a licentiate. From Centerview he went to Appleton City, Missouri, where he supplied the Presbyterian Church for nearly two' and one-half years.

On November 23rd, 1898, Mr. Vanorden was united in marriage to Miss Lulu R. Christopher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Chris- topher, at Warrensburg, Missouri, whei'e she had lived from child- hood.

In the year 1900, Mr. Vanorden received and accepted a call to the i^astorate of the Presbyterian Church of Cherrj^^ale, Kansas, and began work in October 1st, 1900. Here he remained until August 1st, 1906, when he mioved to Fort Scott to! become the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. The Presbj-tery of Neosho, through a committee previously appointed, installed him as pastor of this church in September, 1906. The following ministers participated in the installation seiwice:

Rev. E. A. Bess i>reached the seiinon; Rev. W. C. Pointer pro- pounded the constitutional questions and delivered the charge to the jjastor-elect ; Re^^ B. C. McQueston gave tlie chai'ge to the con- gregation, and Rev. H. G. Matthis offered the prayer of installation.

After three years of labor with and among us, the church as a whole feel that no mistake was made in the choice of a Pastor. We realize that w have a man of quickly ripening powers, and with the energy and enthusiasm of vigorous young manhood, highly cultured, an accomplished musician, with genial and winning personality, his work has been successful in the largest sense, and with the blessing of God, the future outlook is very encouraging. — J. H. P.

Reports of the Different Branches of Church Work

The following papers have been separately compiled by mem- bers of the diffeirent organizations whose work is thus presented.

HISTORY OF THE SABBATH SCHOOL

In the autumn of 1859, a Sabbath school was organized in Fort Scott in the Hospital building on the Plaza with Mr. J. S. Caulkins and Mrs. Alex McDonald as ruling officers. The former, who was agent for a Bible Society, provided the school with Bibles, song books, and a vei-y good lil>rary. This school was continued until the breaking out of the Civil War, when the Hospital building was needed by the Government.

The Sabbath school had no other home until in the year 18fi3, the Stone City Hal'l was built at the comer of Second and National avenue, where) the Carnegie Library building now stands. Here the school was reorganized with S. O. Goodlander as superintendent. Services were held regularly in this building until the Presbyterian church was completed in 1865, when it was moved there, continuing as a union school until the Jlethodist church was built. At this time it had a membership of about one hundred and fifty.

After the withdrawal of the Methodists and S. O. Goodlander, W. J. Bawden was chosen superintendent, sen'ing for about three years. He was succeeded by J. N. Binford, who served four years, or untfl 1873, when J. M. Bright took up the duties of Superintend- ent, and served for nineteen years. During this period the Sab- bath school made a steady gro\\i:h, due to the untiring efforts of the superintendent, and teaching force.

In 1879, the pressing need of more room for the Sabbath school suggested the idea of an addition to the church, for the use of the primary class. The teacher of this class, Miss Eliza Hawley, was

page thirty-five

most active in the efforts to raise the funds, contributing liberally, and soliciting money from her friends in the East. The result was an ample addition, at a cost of .f300.75, and an increased attendance at the school, which soon aftei"wards secured the greatest increase in its history.

Mr. W. P. Dilworth and Mr. Jesse B. Smith neixt followed as Supt., serving one year each. Both served the Sunday school for yeai's in other capacities while in our midst, and at the rem<>val of the formal', and the death of the latter the school felt keenly the loss of their earnest efforts.

Mr. J. A. Lindley was next pressed into service as Supt. He gave much time and energy to the work, and remained in office for two years.

Mr. W. J. Calhoun succeeded Mr. Lindley in the year 1895, and is still in office putting forth every effort for the spiritual growth and uplift of the school.

In 1890-92 the school again rea,lized thel need for a Sabbath school room, in order that work might be enlarged, and in the year 1904, the Chapel was added to our present church edifice . The great- est benefit being derived from its numerons class divisions.

Grace G. Redfield and Fanny Q. McDonald hold the banner record for leng-th of service in this department, as they are the only Imembers of the Sabbath school at the present time who entered the infant class while Mr. Bawden was Supt., and have held continuous membership, as pupils, as teacher and as officer ; Miss Redfield hav- ing done most efficient work as teacher, while Miss McDonald has borne for several years, with imvarying cheerfulness, the vicissitudes incident to holding the office of Secretary of the Sabbath school.

In a Setmi-Centennial book it is necessary not only to review the past, but to give some account of the present conditions in order that the comtpleted record may serve as a starting point for future historians of the church. If our school was to be judged solely by its niimbers it M^ould not stand so well at present as we might wish, but the conditions which the school has to meet now are very differ- ent from what they were in the '60s and '70s. By careful examina- tion of the membership during the past fifty years, it is shown that

there are less children in the congregation and, fe^ver who live near enough to the church to conveniently attend our school. W^e have enrolled at present two hundred and sixty-one pupils, beside a homie department numbering one hundred and twenty, and it is safe to say that the school is sending as large a proportion of our congrega- tion as in previous years.

Numbers alone, however, are not the sole or even the best test. It is the work which is now and has been accomplished by the school that brings us encouragment. The spii*it of earnestness, of devotion, and of zeal in the Miaster's cause, on the part of the teachers, and their hearty cooperation with the Supt. is worthy of especial note.

Just a word as to the future: A strong Sabbath school in the church is a healthy sign. A small weak Sabbath school portends a struggle for the church in days to come, as a large majority of the leaders in all departments of church work have receivetl their train- ing in the Sabbath school. With more zeal for the future good of our people, let us as members of the Presbyterian church enter into the work of training our young people to love our cmi church home and to take) a part in its activities.

The present officers are as follofws :

Sui)erintendent, W. J. Calhoun.

Asst. Supts., Miss Lucy A. \\'bre, C. W. Penniman.

Secretary, Fanny McDonald.

Treasurer, J. D. Mead.

Supt. of Holme Department, Mrs. O. V. Jones.

A review of the early life of the Sabbatii school would not be complete without mentioning the name of S. B. Gardner, who has recently removed to California . He vras connected with our school for more than thirty years, twenty-five of which were spent as teacher of the infant class of boys, and we can truly say that the life of few, if any, of the teachers in this department, have left ai deeper iinpress upon the lives of the young under their care. His loss has been keenly felt by the school.

SABBATH SCHOOL MISSION WORK

The great Teacher said "One man soweth and another reapeth," "Other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors." Some of the members of the Presbyterian church in the city of Fort Scott in the year 1870 and some years after, made sporadic visits to some of the Sabbath schools held in country school-houses. Those A'isited were Lath Branch, held in a log school house, Godfrey school in the home of Mr. Konantz, Bethel school, where Mr. Wnu Lee was the faithful superintendeut. In the year 1874, Independence was vis- ited, also Clarksburgh, where P. P. Perry was one of the leading meaubers.

In the year 1870, Solon L. Goode organized and conducted a Sabbath school in a frame school house in the east side of the city. This, at the time, was the only school house in East Fort Scott. Mr. Goode was assisted in his work by S. B. Gardner, Win. P. Dilworth and others.

In the year 1886, Vil. J. Calhoun opened a Sabbath school in the Skating rink building in the north-east part of the town, and was aided by E. R. Chenault, Thos. Brown, Mrs. Isabel Gallaher, Miss Mina Bates, Miss Ella Sergeant, and others. Much interest and enthusiasm was shown and the school had a large attendance but was discontinued later when neighboring churches were erected. A Sabbath school was also opened at the corner of Hill and Wall streets conducted by J. A. Lindley, Supt., assisted by John Connor, Mrs. Isabel Gallaher and others. Much interes't was shown in the large attendance of children and adults.

In Jan. 1887, Rev. Austin Warner, Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Rogers, and Mr. S. A. Meredith and M'ife, opened a small school in an empty

page thirty-eight

room on North Humboldt Ave. which continued for soiue time with encouraging results. C. M. Eames was chosen as Supt. but on July 29, of the same year passed away leaving a faithful record. He was followed by S. A. Meredith as Supt. These early workers were most diligent in visiting at the hom^s of the people. They formed sewing societies and missiouai"y organizations among them which were of great interest to the women and young people. Mrs. 0. V. Jones pei-sonally visited from house! to house, and was most active in the work of the church from the time of its organization.

On Jan. 26, 1888, two lots were secured and in March of the same year they sent a petition to the Presbytery, which met at Pleasanton, Kan., asking that body to organize a church in Nortli Fort Scott. The Presbytery named April 7 as the time for the meeting to be held, and consented to organize a church if the way seetoied clear for its formation. At this meeting Dr. W. C. Porter, Rev. John Curren, Pastor of the Church at Girard, and Hon. W. J. Bawden were appointed to organize the church. J. A. Jones, Sanmel Winklefleck and C. Graves were ordained as Ruling Elders. On Dec. 16, 1888, the Second Presbyterian church was dedicated, with Re\\ A. M. Mliann of Louisburgli, Dr. Porter, and Mr. J. B. Fisher as officiating ministers. Rev. J. B. Fisher was appointe<l by Pres- bytery and the Board of Home Missions, as the Stated supply. He was followed by Rev. John Cooteir, and Rev. John Crawford, who successiively supplied the pulpit, doing faithful work for serv^eral years. The results of the faithful labors of Pastors and officers are seen in the lives of the men and women who attended its serv- ices.

In a duelling house on S. Crawford street a Sabbath school was conducted by W. J. Bawden, resulting in Siufflcient interest to induce the friends and workers to solicit funds for a building, and a year later the Boulevard Chapel was built. Mrs. Elizabeth Cassell, assisted hj Misses Nettie 'Whrner and Clara Mehneffj col- lected funds by personal solicitation, and were faithful teachers in school. W. J. Bawden retained the office of Supt. until his demise, Dec. 19, 1894. At this time a. real-estate collapse sfwept over the the city and a sndden and complete failure followed, resulting in the reniovall of both tenants and houses to places nearer the city's

page thirty-nine

center. The mission work ceased for lack of support and the Chapel building finally passed into other hands. The good seed was sown and, "Blessed are they that sow beside all waters, for they shall find jl aftea" many days."

In 1872, through the influence] of Dr. W. C. Porter, Mr. John Oassell was persuaded to accept a comjmission from the American Sunday School Union, an organization through which our church did all of its Mission work up to 1883 — for work in Kansas, Mis- souri, Arkansas, and Indian Territory. He was very successful in this new field, organiziug about 800 new Sunday schools, besides personally visiting 1751 other Sunday schools. He also distiibuted more than 20,000 copies of the Scriptures, besides many thousands of dollars worth of other Christian literature.

These duties entailed the nece«sity of driving upwards of 120,000 miles through all conditions of weather and wagon roads; but he re- nuaineil actively eugaged in the work for more than thirty years, or until the year 1903. He still receives his commission annually from the society, but confines his work to a limited territory nearer home.

THE BROTHERHOOD

Shortly afteii' M'r. Vanorden assumed the pastorate, he began a movement looking to an organized Avork among the men of the (Miurch and in September his efforts along this line culminated in the organization of the Presbyterian Brotherhood of the First Pres- byterian Church. This Brotherhood is affiliated with the l^ational Brotherhood of our Church and its object is to enlist men in the active ^A-ork of the Church. The Brotherhood has been a success from the start, under the leadership of Rev. Vanorden and has been a decided help to the Church.

The present officers are: President, ]M. F. Jarrett; Vice Presi- dent, F. H. Foster; Secretary, D. G. Cobb, and Treasurer, W. Telmp- ler.

SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR

Beiginning with the year 1884, a wave of religious enthusiasm among the .^oung pelople swept over the whole country and in the winter of 1885-86 our church was greatly blessed during the revival

senices conducted by Vv'. H. Claggett aad Chess Birch. As a result of these services the young people organized a society called the Young Peoples Christian Union, with Al T. Weaver as president. Intense interest was manifested and most efficient work was accomp- lished.

In 1888, the society, after due consideration, accepted the pledge and comstitution of the Christian Endeavor, and the name was changed to Y. P. S. C. E.

The interest manifested at the organization seemed to increase and bear fruit in the hearts and lives of many of its nieaubers. For the first twelve or fifteen years wonderful work was accomplished, and as the society grew in age, and was less spasmodic in the acces- sion of numbers, it settled down to a steady benevolent work, which it has continued uninterruptedly. Contributions have been sent to mission fields, Christmas boxes to needy westei'n districts, box of supplies and offering of money to Dwight Mission, while local needs have also received attention. In June, 1907, a large amount was raised to purchase a launch, named "The Fort Scott C. E.", to be used in mission work in Brazil.

The regular services of this society have always been of great benefit to those who regulaidy attended them, and we fully believe that the main objects for which the C. E. was first organized, have been attained.

The present officers are: President, Ruth Keene, Vice Presi- dent, Edw. W. DeWein; Secretary, Harold Calhoun; Treasurer, Ida DeWiein.

JUNIOR 0. E. SOCIETY

Just previous to the organization of the Junior C. E. Society the younger children of the church were fonned into a sociefy called "The Mission Band," under the leadership of Mrs. J. A. Budd, who retained this office for two years, and was then followed by Miss Augusta Peirsonand Miss Alice Porter as leaders. The officers of the society ^lere chosen from among the children, the first names recorded being, President, Helen Calhoun ; Secretary, Ethelyn Rice, Treasurer, Carroll McMath.

Their gifts to missions consisted of their penny collections and moneys raised in various ways.

The ejai'ly records of the Junior C. E. as to its organization and leadership ai*e very incaiuplete, but it dates back about as far as the Mission Band. The work of the society has been very successful from the first, and they are still most earnest and active in their efforts along many lines. Leaders have been chosen from among the earnest workers in the C. li Society, two of whom, the Hisses Katherine DeWein and Jennie Cowen, deserve special mention for the length of time given to the work.

A large amount has been raised by the little ones, and good sums have been sent to the mission fields at Sitka, Alaska, Kodoli, India, and Dnvight Mission, while a generous donation was made to our new Y. M. 0. A.

Unusual interest has been manifested under the leadership of Mrs. O. V. Jones and Ed^^'ard W. DeWein, who are their present Supelrintendents. The officers for 1909 are: President, Fannie Irvine; Vice President, Dora Cassell; Secretary, Margaret Nutz,

THE WOMAN'S MISSIONAKY SOCIETY

More than thirty years ago a few devout women met at the home of Mrs. llan*iet Dilworth and engaged, in i>rayer for their be- loved church. Mrs. Dilworth was an earnest and zealous worker for the spread of the gospel and she knew the poiwer of prayer. These meetings were held regularly, and after the prayer service the con- versation was along the line of Missions. These earnest souls were seeking to follow the command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."

These meetings were carried on for many years with Mrs. Dil- worth as their moving spirit. They were announced in the notices from the pulpit as the ladies' prayer meeting.

Mrs. I>ilw<M'th was honored by being elected to represent this church in the organization of the Women's Presbyterial Missionary Society, at the session of the Presbytery of Neosho, at Chetopa, Kan- sas, March 9, 1881, being sent by the Session and acting in this capacity, she was the first woman delegate sent out from this church.

After this organization of the ilissionary Society, the meetings here were carried on every two weeks, as long as Mrs. Dilworth lived. Out of thesei prayer meetings grew the desire for greater

work in Hdme and Foreign Missions, and the Ladies' Missionary So- ciety was organized April 30, ISSG, in tlie old church on the corner of Third and Main streets, where the faithful ones had toiled and prayed. Theiir prayera were answered, for in a few years this be- loved pioneer church was too small for the increasing numbers that thronged its doors for entrance.

This society was auxiliary to the Presbyterian Board of Mis- sions. At its first meeting, the following officers werei elected : Pres., Miss Helen Chenault; Vice Pres., Mrs. W. C. Porter; Secy, and Treas., Mrs. Has Clark. After the third meeting the presidemt re- signed, and the vice president, Mrs. W. C. Porter, assumed the duties of the office, and held that position for over fifteen years, as their much loved and successful leader.

At the meeting of Feb. 25, 1887, the society chose Miss Helen Chenault as their first delegate, to attend the annual meeting of the board of the Southwest.

The society prospered and at the close of the first year the enrollment comprised the following twenty-four names: Miss Helen Chenault, Mrs. W. C. Porter, Mrs. Has Clark, Mrs. S. B. Gardner, ajjrs. Harriet Dilworth, Mrs. E. Grant, Mrs. S. A. Ashbaugh, Mrs. E. Cassell, Mrs. J. A. Jones, Mrs. W. J. Moore, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. B'udd, Mrs. J. M. Goodsell, jMrs. Matthew's, Mrs. Beadell, Mrs. E. L. Strode. Mrs. J. A. Rutherford, Mrs. J. M. Ferguson, Miss Annie Ferguson, Mrs. Bem(is, Mrs. S. Church, Mrs. E. J. Stall.

A meeting of much pleasure and profit was held in May, 1888, when Mrs. Harriett Dilworth, who had been sent as a delegate to Gamett, gave an excellent report of the meetings and brought new life to the society. Miss Nettie Warner was also' present. She had returned a short time before from Southeastern Asia, where she had worked in the missionary field, and she gave a very interesting talk on Sia|}u. The "Mission Band" of young people presented their col- lections to the Missionary Society, and it was sent by them to the Oswego Mission.

The first death recorded in the society was on April 1, 1892, when the death of the dear friend and co-^iprker, Mrs. Harriet Dil- worth, is given, she having passed to the other shore March 19, 1892. Resolutions of condolence were read, and a committee was formed to tender the sympathy of the society to the bereaved family. It

page forty-three

was ordered that a copy of the resolutions be given to them and also spread upon the records.

A prayer composed by Mrs. Dihvorth was read to the society. It was a very beautiful prayer of supplication to- our Heavenly Father for strength and guidance. After Mrs. Dilworth's death the meetings were held with her daughter, Mrs. S. B. Gardner, and she held the offlce of Treasurer until she passed away. Mrs. Strode then became Treasurer, and has held that oflice for more than fourteen

years.

In the year 1904, Mrs. W. C. Porter's health failing, she re- signed the office of President of the Society. Mrs. John Mead was appointed to fill the vacancy, and has, since then, been its efficient leader.

Mrs. Porter's long years of sei*\'ice and devotion to her church have been felt through all the meetings of this organization, and in her death on Feb. 7, 1909, an ardent worker has passed her worli on to the present members, and may they all be as faithful to the cause.

The funds of the society are raised from dues, thank ofl'erings, extra collections, and mite boxes, and this money is sent to the dif- ferent Mission Boards for distribution. Many calls come to the society for aid and they do what they can in response. A donation is sent every year to the Goodlander Home, a very worthy institution in our city.

The meetings are opened with prayer and song, and the pro- grams are composed of papers and ai-ticles describing the Home and Foreign fields, and interspersed with vocal and instriuuental music. A new departure of the society was inaugurated at a meeting in March, 1907, when dainty refreshments were served to the members by our Pastor's wife, Mrs. A. E. Vanorden, assisted by Mrs. J. A. Jones at the Manse. It proved to be such a pleasing feature, that it has become one of the permanent functions of the society. Two members are hostesses at the meetings held on the third Friday of elach month.

The present officers are : Pres., IMrs. J. H. Mead y First Vice Pres., Mrs. J. K. Keene ; Second Vice Pres., Mrs. Frank Milligan ; Third Vice Pres., Mrs. E. L. Glaze; Secy., Miss Augusta Peirson; Treas., Mrs. R. C. Campbell ; Secy, of Literature, Mrs. Joe Mead.

Since the increased gi-owth of our church the Missionary Society has gained new life and strength, and there is now an enrollment of fifty-eight members. Their desire is that the interest shall gxow un- til all the members are enrolled in the great Missionary cause of our church and the world.

THE LADIES' SOCIETY

This organization has the honor of being the oldest society in this church, having been effected as early as 1880. During the war they did noble work in supplying lint, bandages, and other hospital necessities, but no record of its acts and deliberations during the first thirty years of its life have been presei-ved. According to the best authority attainable, Mrs. William Smith Avas its first presi- dent, and was followed in later years, though not in the order named, by Mesdames A. Coston, Charles Rubicau, James C. Bright, J. H. Mead, S. D. Clapp, W. P. Dilworth and E. R. Chenault. It is to be regretted that this list supplied from memory is incomplete.

A perusal of the records since 1891 shows, in addition to the previous list, the names of Mesdames W. J. Bawdin, Clias. Kaiser, J. M. Bright, J. W. Davis, George E. Ware, J. O. Brown and W. D. Mitchell, as having served as Presidents of the society.

One of the important duties of this society has been to supple- ment the wlork of the trustees in meeting the current expenses, al- ways responding liberally to the call for aid in raising any special fund, or to supply a deficit.

In the early days the old McDonald Hall, because of its conven- ient location, was the usual place for holding entertainments. TEe time-worn methods of raising funds were resorted to in the years that followed: suppers, bazaars, exchanges, spelling schools, and other entertainments, includinc: soime very unique ones.

Since 1896 an annual Easter Concert, has been a source of great pleasnre and much profit, and this privilege has of late years been shared with the Yonncr Ladies' Societv. as since the organization of the latteir. the two societies have worked in perfect harmonv.

The choir, that bnue nnd blessing of everv church, was for many years an obiect of deep solicitude ort the part of this societv, whose office it was to fill the vacancies and heal the breaches that occurred.

At the present time the maiutenan :-e of the choir is assured through the combined efforts of the three societies.

This society on several occasions purchased new hjnnn books for the pews, and supplied new carpets. We report with much pride that, in the year 190-1, |879.S3 was raised and judiciously expended for refurnishing the church.

The current social life of the church has been kept mo\'ing through the years by this society, and in recent years, we have had the hearty cooperation of the two' younger organizations. The pres- ent ojSacers are: Pres., Mrs. J. ML Bright; Vice Pres., Mrs. W. D. Mitchell; Secy., Mrs. F. E. Haiwthome; Treas., Mrsi. M. Rogers.

YOUNG LADIES' SOCIETY

As a, social and financial aid to the church Mrs. W. C. Porter, in the year 1883, organized the first Young Ladies' Society. A num- ber of the yoiung ladies of the church met at the parsonage and planned their work. Miss Mary P. ililler was appointed president. These meeitings were successfully kept up for about two years, when the society became inactive.

About the year 1889, the society was re-organized with Miss Grace Eedfield as president. Under' her leadership the society flourished and assisted the church by furnishing mnsic and in var- ious ways. Miss Redfield served for three years and after her resig- nation the society merged into the Ladies' Society, remaining with them for a year or more.

In 1891 Mrs. W. C. Parkinson reorganized the society and seiwed as president for one year. In 1895 Miss Augusta Peirson was elected president, and held the office for nine years, the society gi-ow- ing each year in interest and meanbership, often raising several hun- dred dollars a, year for the improvements of the church, one year giving two hundred dollars to(wards the building of the Sunday school room, also two hundred dollars to the piano fund, and help- ing with other needed furnishings for the church.

The following ladies have served as presidents: Mesdames C. A. VanvelzeT, M. F. Jari'ett, H. F. Chaptoan and J. J. Lewis. Under

page forty-six

the management of these ladies the society jjrospered and did good work for the church.

We call 1906 the society 's banner year, as with Mrs. M. F. Jar- rett as president, the ladies raised fifteen hundred dollars, the larg- est amount ever made in one year by the society. One thousand dollars was given to the repairing of the church, and fiA^e hundred dollars for the pipe organ. It was while Mrs. Jarrett was president that the society sensed a banquet for the Democratic convention where nearly one thousand plates weire laid, and by her skillful management a, good sum was turned into the treasury.

Since the increased growth of our church the society has grown in meimbership until now we havei an enrollment of sixty mieluhers. The society's work for the past few years has been chiefly taking charge of the music, paying out several hundred dollars each year to the maintenance of the choir and also assisting our pastor in the social and benevolent work of the church.

The officers of the society for the year 1909 are: Pres., Mrs. M. F. Jarrett; First Vice Pres., Mrs. A. M. Keene; Se|cond Vice Pres., Mrs. Roscoe Campbell; Secy., Mrs. Willard Templar; Treas., Mrs. W. E. Cassell.

THE WESTMINSTER SOCIETY

This society was organized by the Misses Francis Burge, and Bessie Legg, on March 2, 1906, having as niembers the following young ladies: Misses Francis Burge, Bessie Legg, Mattie Belle Bright, Ida Kate Ware, Luella Draper, Dorothy Clair and Edith Lindsey. This enthusiastic band of workers selected the following oflEicers: Pres., Francis Burge; Vice Pres., Bessie Legg; Secy., Mattie Belle Bright; Treas., Ida K. Ware.

They helped to beautify their beloved church each Sabbath by furnishing beautiful ferns or fragrant flowers.

Success attended their efforts in many lines of work, and at tlie belginning of the second year they had an enrollment of sixteen members. During this year they had funds sufficient to purchase a new communion table bearing the injunction .• "Do this in remem-

page forty-seven

brance of me." A splendid iwrtion was also given toward tlie golden- piped organ.

The third year Miss Jessie Meek was elected president and an- other successful season was spent, donating largely toward ^lie music fund, thus doing their part in helping to bear the expenses of the church.

Dainty refreshments were always served during the meeting.s of the society, two of the members acting as hovstesses.

During the present year the society has gxeatly aided the chui'ch by purchasing many of the little accessories, the most import- ant of which are the two bulletins placed near the outer entrances. For the convenience of those members who are employed during the day; every alternate meeting is held in the evening and nivany pleas- ant and interesting gatherings are enjoyed by the Westminsters.

The oificers presiding at the present time are: Pres., Luella" Draper; Vice Pres., Sylvia DeStwolinski ; Secy, and Treas., Jliss Fern Brown.
