PREFACE.
T
a
<S]pp«^^FTER some little unavoidable delay, we are finally enabled
ra^lp^ to present to the clergy and laity of the Methodist Epis.
Amifk^f^ copal Church of this city, the first volume of our " Annual
^LyJKi^ Compendium of Methodism in Chicago." The char-
^fj:-^ acter and value of the work will be more fully understooil
(i))T and better appreciated by a perusal of its pages than by any
>S description we might insert here.
It will be seen at a glance that the compilation of such a
work as is herewith presented is attended with no ordinary
amount of difficulty, and but for the kind co-operation of the
clergy, who have furnished most of the facts and figures, it
j|» would have been almost an impossibility. Our thanks are due,
also, to Honorable Gkant Goodrich, for furnishing us with
the concise and accurate detail of the early history of Metho-
dism in Chicago, whi<-h appears on page nineteen.
As for the typographical appearance, the engravings, etc., we
have nothing whatever to say, but will permit the book to speak for
itself. Otherwise from that, in judging of its merits, we trust our
readers will bear in mind the fact, that this is, to the best of our knowl-
edge and belief, the first volume of the kind that has ever been issued,
and that, therefore, whatever defects may appear to the critical reader,
are those which naturally result from our inexperience in a new and
untried field of eftbrt.
We hope, Providence permitting, on or about the fifteenth day
of December, next, to be able to publish the second volume of our
"Annual," free from defects of any kind, and so much improved in the
qxiantity and quality of its contents, as to commend itself to the atten-
tion and patronage of all who are interested in the jirogress :ind pros-
perity of our branch of the Christian faith, in this part of the world.
With these preliminary remarks, we submit to you this, the first
volume of our "Annual Compendiu.m of Methodism in Chicago."

U METHODISM IN CHICAGO.
General Rules of the M.E. Church.
In the latter end of the year 1739, eight or ten persons came to Mr.
"Wesley, in London, who appeared to be deeply convinced of sin, and
earnestly groaning for reaemi)tion. They desired, as did two or three
more the next day, that he would spend some time with them in prayer,
and advise them how to flee from the wrath to come, which they saw con-
tinually hanging over their heads. Tliat he might liave more time for this
great work, he appointed a day when they might all come together;
which from thenceforward they did every week, namely, on Thursday,
in the evening. To tliese, and as many more as desired to join with
them (for their number increased daily), he gave those advices from
time to time which he judged most needful for them; and they always
concluded their meeting with prayer suited to their several necessities.
This was the rise of the United Society, lirst in Europe, and then
in America. Such a society is no other than "o comj)any of tnen liaving
the form and seeking the power oi godliness, united in order to jyr ay to-
gether, to receive the ii'ord of exhortation, and to ivatch over one another in
love, that they may help each other to U'ork out their salvation."
That it may the more easily be discerned whether they are indeed
working out their own salvation, each society is divided into smaller
companies, called classes, according to their respective places of abode.
There are about twelve persons in a class, one of whom is styled t?ie
Leader. It is Iiis duty: — 1. To see each person in his class once a week
at least; in order, (1) To inquire how their souls prosper. (2) To advise,
reprove, comfort, or exhort, as occasion may require. (3) To receive
what they are willing to give toward the relief of the preachers, church
and poor. (This part refers to towns and cities, where the poor are gen-
ei-ally numerous and church expenses considerable.)
2. — To meet the ministers and the stewards of the society once a
week; in order, (1) To inform tlie minister of any that are sick, or of any
that walk disorderly, and will not be reproved. (2) To pay the stewards
what they have received of their several classes m the week preceding.
There is only one condition previously required of those who desire
admission into these societies, "a desire to flee from the wrath to come,
( and to be saved from their sins." But wherever this is really fixed in
^ the soul, it will be shown by its fruits. It is therefore expected of all
J who continue therein, that they should continue to evidence their
<;"' desire of salvation : — First, by doing no harm, by avoiding evil of every
kind, especially that which is most generally practiced, such as: — The
' taking of the name of God in vain ; the profaning the day of the Loi-d,
/ either by doing ordinary work therein, or by buying or selling. Drunk.
! enness, buying or selhng spirituous liquors, or drinking them, unless in
\ cases of extreme necessity. Slaveholding; buving or selling slaves.
Fighting, quarreling, brawling, bi-other going to law with brother; re-
METHODISM IN CHICAGO. 15
turning evil for evil, or railing for railing; the ixsing many words in
buying or selling. The buying or selling gooils that have not paid the
duty. The giving or taking things on usury, tliat is, unlawful interest.
Uncharitable or unprotitable conversation J particularly speaking evil
of magistrates or ministers. Doing to others as we would not that they
should do unto us. Doing what we know is not for the glory of God; as
the putting on of gold and costly apparel ; the taking of such diversions
as cannot be used in the name of the Lord Jesus; the singing of those
songs, or reading those books which do not tend to the knowledge or
love of God. Softness and needless self-indulgence. Laying up treasures
upon earth. Borrowing without a probability of paying; or taking up
goods without a probability of paying for them. It is expected of all
who continue in these societies that they should continue to evidence
their desire of salvation:— .Secondly, by doing good; by being in every
kind merciful after their power; as they have opportunity, doing good
of every possible sort, and, as far as possible, to all men; to their bodies,
of the ability which God giveth, by giving food to the hungry, by cloth-
ing the naked, by visiting or helping them that are sick or in prison; to
their souls, by Instructing, reproving, or exhorting all we have any
intercourse with; trampling under foot that enthusiastic doctrine that
"we are not to do good unless our hearts be free to it;" by doing good,
especially to them that are of the household of faith, or groaning so to
be ; emplbying them preferably to others, buying one of another, helping
each other in business, and so much the more because the world will
love its own and them only; by all possible diligence and frugaliiy that
the Gospel be not blamed; by running with patience the race which is
set before them, denying themselves and taking up their cross daily; sub-
mitting to bear the reproach of Christ, to be as tlie tilth and offscouring
of the world ; and looking that men should say all manner of evil of them
falsely for the Lord's Sake. It is expected of all who desii-e to continue
"in these societies that they should continue to evidence their desire of
salvation :— Thirdly, by attending upon all the ordinances of God ; such
are the public worship of God; the ministry of the word, either read or
expounded; the supper of the Lord; family and private prayer; search-
ing the Scriptures; fasting or abstinence.
These are the General Rules of our Societies; all which we are
taught of God to observe, even in his written word, which is the only
rule, and the sufficient rule, both of our faith and practice. And all
these we know his Spirit Avrites on truly awakened hearts. If there be
any among us who observes them not, who habitually breaks any of
them, let it be known iinto them who watch over that soul, as they who
must give an account. We will admonish him of the error of his ways.
We will bear with him for a season. But if then he repent not, he hath
no more place among us. We have delivered our own souls.

By Hon. GRANT GOODRICH.
HE DESIRE not to be forgotten on earth is one of the strongest
L feelhigs 01 our nature. IMen know that I hey must perish from
ki the earth— tliey seek to live in tlieir deeds. Crimes, however
s great, toils, however severe, are hold cheaij sacrifice lor an im-
mortality on earth, to one poor mrirtal. Though the Christian
seeks a deathless immortality at the right hind of God, and may
be careless of the remembrance of men, yet his good deeds are made
to live after him; and it is right that the remembrance of our ben-
J\3 efactors, who have gone before, be preserved for our respect and
imitation. It cannot but be prolitable, that while surrounded by
privileges lai-ge and rich, we be reminded that we enjoy the fruits
of the labors of the pious dead, and of tlie honored living; that the
tree under which we rest in such pleasant security, was not
planted without the labor and toils, the prayers and efforts of those
who preceded us.
We are not able to determine certainly when the first Metho-
dist preacher visited Chicago, but there seems "no great doubt that the
first who regularly proclaimed the Gospel here was the Reverend Jesse
AValker, who was "emphatically the apostle of the Northwest. He fol-
lowed tlie lirst adventurous pioneers to Illinois and Missouri, sharing
their hardships and dangers, bearing with him, and offering to them the
salvation of Christ.
He was appointed a Missionary to Illinois in 180(5. He was accompa-
nied to this mission first by the Re"v. Win. JIcKendree, afterwards Bishop.
They traversed the theii almost unbroken ami untrodden wilder-
ness, which separated the scattered settlements in Illinois from Ken-
tucky. They performed the journey on horsel)ack, subsisting mostly on
the game tliev killed, and "sleeping under the covering of the skies.
jNIcKendree, after a short time spent in i)reacliing and arranging the
field of labor for Walker, returned ami left him alone to pursue his holy
mission. The inhabitants received liiin kindly, and many of these simiile
pioneers of civilization heard his message with joy and "became the sub-
jects of a saving knowledge of the gosjjel. Otiier preachers from time
to time were sent to his hid, and the work enlarged until it embraced
most of the settlements of the then Territory of Illinois.
He afterward visited and made Missouri a part of the field of his
operations. In 1812 he was made Presidins Elder of the Illinois district,
which then embraced all of Illinois and ^iissouri, which position he held
until 1819, when he was sent on a mission to new and destitute fields.
After wandering about from place to i)lace and preacliiug the gospel
20 METHODISM IN CHICAGO.
of salvation evervwhere faithfully and successfully-, we find him, in the
year 1S31, residing in Chicago, it being included in his missionary field.
In his absence, the Rev. Wm. Lee, then a local preacher, though formerly
a member of the Illinois Conference, and at the time United States
blacksmith to the Indians, filled his place. Our best information is, that
these two men, and the then wife of CoL R. J. Hamilton, were the first
resident Methodists in Chicago. Mrs. Hamilton was a most pions and
devoted Christian, and died in great peace in the spring of 1S34. In 1S33,
Father Koble and Brother Charles Wisencraft arrived in Chicago, who
immediatelv commenced prayer and other religious meetings.
At this time, the society had no house of worship, but used for that
purpose a room, in turn with the Baptists and Presbyterians, on the
comer of 'Water and Wells Streets.
In Ausnst, IS&B, the first quarterlv meeting in Chicago was held at
Watkins' School-House, comer Xorthl.aSalle and Water Streets: John
Sinclair, Presiding Elder, and Jesse VTalker, Missionary. There were
also present at the first communion. "Wm. Lee, Local Preacher, and his
wife, Chas. "Wisencrafc and wife, "Wm. "Whitehead, Local Preacher, Mrs.
R. J. aimilton. and Mrs. Harriet Harmon. These constituted the entire
Methodist familv in Chicago, who sat down at the encharistic feast to
declare their remembrance and faith in the sacrificial death of Christ
their Savior. Some of them live to see this day, and are made glad.
In the spring of ISJi, the first regular class was formed, and Charles
"Wisencraft was appointed Leader. Early in this year they met for wor-
ship in a log house belonging to an Indian Chief, named Billy Caldwell,
and used as a Council House, on the north side of the river, near the
comerof Franklin and "Water Streets. Sometimes, however, meetings
were held in what was called IngersoU's Tavern, which stood on the
west side of the river, between Lake and Fulton Streets. Thev often
occupied a small buildins on the north side of the river, between LaSalle
and Clark Streets, called^ Watkins' School-House.
In the spring of 1S34. the Lord put it into the hearts of his people
and their friends to buUd BUma house. It was commenced and canied
on to completion bv Brothers Whitehead and Stewart. It was set on the
Xorth Side, at the corner of Water and Clark Streets. It was small, but
to them it was Go.i's temple. The pulpit was supplied every Sabbath
bv Father Walker, or the local preachers. We ought not to neglect to
state that Brothers Whitehead and Wisencraft held weekly prayer-
meetings with the soldiers in Fort Dearbj^rn.
Durins the summer of 1S34, quite an accession was made to the
church bv'the arrival of emigrants, who presented their letters, and in
September of this vear, the Rev. John T. Mitchell arrived, and took
charo-e of the Chicaso mission, by an app<>intment of the Illinois Confer-
ence° During this conference vear considerable accessions were had by
letter, and a few on probation. At the ensuing conference, by our
own request, Chicago was struck from the list of missions, and John T.
Mitchell appointed "the prea.'her In charge.
In the spring of 1S36, an effort was made to raise funds to purchase a
lot and build a house of worship on the south side of the river. At the
sale of canal lots in June of that year, the lot on which Clark Street
Church now stands was purchased under an arrangement Avith Dr. Rob-
inson Tripp, bv which the church obtained the north 130 feet, and the
sumof $1,100 was paid on it; but the pecuniary embarrassments which
soon ensued, ended all hopes of building. j :,■,,. r„
At the conference of 1S36, the Rev. Otis T. Curtis succeeded John T.
MitchelL In the general commercial crash which succeeded, few of the
members escaped. There were some who so grieved at the loss of their
wealth that they ttimed their backs on God, despising the riches at his

right hand. The integrity of these was not proof against the sore trials
of the times: but, above all, the I'oiil and ignominious fall of the pre-
siding elder, W. Mack— the outbreaking crimes and scandalous conduct
of some of the members, who had been active and prominent in the
church, fell in quick succession, with stunning weight upon the faitliful
few, and with their pecuniary embarrassment, thre^atened to overwlielni
them with shame and scatter them in confusion. There has never been
a time in the history of Methodism in Chicago when false bretluvn,
wicked men, and tempting devils seemed so near the accomplishment of
its destruction as at this period. The faithful ones felt thev were the
scoff and the scorn of the wicked and the reproach of the gooil. Sorrow
and shame were written on the faces of all who revered religion and
loved the church. They were abashed in the presence of the trood and
of the bad. Deep was the humility in which God sunk his children for
their want of fidelity against the allurements of worldly wealth. He
took his fan in his hand, blessed be his name, not to sweep awav, but
to purge and purify his church.
At the conference of 1837, in answer to the pravers of his children for
a Joshua to lead them out of the wilderness, God sent the Rev. Peter R.
Borien, of blessed memory, whose name never falls upon our ear that
an holy influence comes not with his memory.
During the winter of 1837-8 quite a number were converted— some of
whom are with us still— but comjiared with the succeeding vear the
work wa« limited. At the conference of laSS he was returned to this
charge, and, owing to our poverty, John Clark, our then Presiding Elder,
procured for us a missionary appropriation for that year. The
little church was removed from" the north side of the river to" the present
location of Clark Street Church, and was enlarged to double its size.
In December, a revival commenced, deep, widespread and powerful.
From this time until April, Brother Borien held meetings every niglit
and frequently during the day. Night after night, with tireless" zeal, he
poured forth the arrows of God's truth, all flaming with love divine, and
day after day he followed the smitten sinner to his home, into his shni)
and even pursued him to the haunts of dissipation, and with pleadings'
entreaties and a yearning love that seemed almost resistless, besought hini
in Christ's stead to be reconciled to God. The house, from first to last,
was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the altar was thronged Avith in-
quiring and penitent souls. The Spirit of God seemed to pervade the
very atmosphere. Religion was the absorbing theme of thought and con-
versation in private and in public places. There were more than three
hundred converted in our church, most of whom united with us, which
was alx)ut one-tenth of the whole population.
But his Master had determined to call his faithful servant home— he
was ripe for heaven, he had kept the faith, his course was finishcil. his
crown was ready. Who that heard the last sermon which he i)reaclH'd
will ever forget it in time or eternitv, whether he shall reiuni with him
in heaven, or wail with the damned "in hell ? Who shall dare to .say tliat
God in that hour did not permit his soul to catch some dying strains of
that angelic music in which he was so soon to join ? A da'y or two after
he was laid upon his dying bed— his work was done— God "took him But
though dead, he yet speaketh.
At the conference of 1839, the Rev. S. Stocking was appointed as
I)astor. In 1840-41, the Rev. Hooper Crews was stationed here. Pros-
gerity and conversions attended both years of his administration. Tlie
oiise again became too small, and was enlarged to nearly double its
former caijacity.
In 1842, th'e Rev. N. P. Cunningham was appointed preacher in
charge. The house was again becoming too small, and it was resolved to

colonize in some other part of the citv the succeeding year. ^^ ith this
view, in 1S43. tlie Rev. Luke Hitchcock was appointcl preacher ui charge
and the Kev. Ahram Hanson, assistant. Tlie lot on whuh nld Canal
Street Churcli (now Centenary) stood, was purchased, and a lioiise
erected. Durintr the winter, tlie health of Brother Hitchcock faded, and
he was compelled to leave his charge. The Presiding Elder, Hooper
Crews, then residing at Soutliiwrt, removed to this city, antl vvitn
Brother Hanson supplieil the two congregations. About seventy-live
members went to Canal Street but it was determined the two societies
should constitute one charge, and the leaders and stewards meet in one
hoard. At the conference of 1841, under the same arrangement, the Uey.
Win. M. D. Hvan was transferred from Ohio, ami made preacher in
charge, and the Kev. Warren Oliver was appointed assistant.^ During
the winter of lS44-4.'>, a verv general revival occurred. Clark Street be-
came crowded bevond the convenient capacity of the house. It had
been enlartred and patched up so many times, it was tound there was
danger that it miuht fdll. Brother Ryan urged the necessity ot
buihlimt a permanent house of worship. To this eml his ui<lustry and
eftort^*\vere unceasing. After considerable deliberation, it was i:iiaii>
resolved to sell a sufficient number of the seats in the new h.iu.-e to
cover the cost, at the appraisal of the ti-ustees, who ccnitracted lor the
erection of the buildiIl!,^ ami the linishiivu- of all but the basement, ir'^000
pavable on the completion of the (■(mtract. and the balance im one > eir,
the house to be 98 ft. in. bv fi<; ft. The old (duirch was remove 1 on to
the lot on the corner of Dearliorn and Madison Streets, ami occupie.l
until the erection of the new building. In Xoveml;er, 184.J, the house
was dedicated. From the amount raised at the dedication, the sale oi
seats and other means, the trustees were able to meet present ileniamt-
on the contract. The whole cost wa.s about $12,000, and it was all paid
as it became due. ,, , „. ^ i n, d ..
In 184.-) Canal Street was separated from Clark Street, and the Ke^.
Sias BoUes appointed their prea(dier. Brother Ryan was. returne t to
Clark street In 184ti, the Kev. Chauncev Ilobart succeeded him, and
Sias Bolles was reappointed to Canal Street. Previous to the conlerence
of 1847, a number of members determined to lorm another church on tlie
north side of the river. Thev purchased two lots on Indiana street ami
erected a verv neat chapel, aiul solicited a preacher at the ensuiii;- con-
ference In"]847, the Kev. Philo Judson was stationed at t lark street,
theRev. O. BroBsonat Canal Street, and the Kev. Freeborn H:^nPy "Y
Indiana Street. In 184-*, Rev. Richard Haney was appointed to C lark
Street, Uev. R. A. Blauchard to Canal Street, an.l the Kev. John Devoe
to Indiana Street. The onlv (diange made in 184it was that ot the substi-
tution of Rev. Zailock Hall at Indiana street for Devoe.
About the vear 18.5-2, the P.ook Depository and ihe 2^wthuestein
Christian Advocate were authorized to be established m this city.

HISTORY.
The history of Methodism in this city from its mcipiency in 1S31 till
ahout the year 1850, is really that of Clark Street or tne First Church,
and will be found iinder the heading "History of Methodism in
Chicago," by Hon. Grant Goodrich, in another part of this volume.
Below will be found a continuation of the list of those pastors who
have served this charge since that time, and following that, an outline
sketcli of the principal events that have marked her history as an in-
dividual churcli society.
In 1S50, Stephen P. Keyes was sent to this charge, and in 1852 was
followed by John Clark, who died toward the close of his second year
(July lltli), greatly beloved. Hooper Crews, former presiding elder,
then had charge from 1854 to 1856. James Baume then served
from 1856 to 1858. Bro. W. F. Stewart succeeded him in 1858. O. H.
Tiffany came next, remaining two years, from 1860 to 1862. During tliree
months of Dr. Tiffany's term, the church enjoyed the services of the
late Dr. T. M. Eddy, whose loss was so keenly felt, and whose decease
was so deeply mourned throughout the entire church. The year 1862-63
was filled by F. D. Hemenway. From 1863 to 1866, Charles H. Fowler,
who was the first man ever returned for the tliird year, was tlie instru-
ment of the accomplishment of no ordinary good. W. C. Dandy was sent
to serve the church in 1866-67; and from 1867 to 1869, John A. Gray was in
charge, serving the whole of his first year, and but half of liis second,
and resigning, was substituted by J. M. Reid, who filled out the remain-
ing six montlis of the second year. Succeeding Gray came W. H.
Daniels, who served a term of three years, from 1869 to 1872.
He was followed by H. W. Thomas in 1872, who was succeeded in 1875
by S. A- W. Jewett. In 1876, two pastors wore sent by conference to this
cliarge, and are the present incumbents of the office — M. M. Parkhurst
and W. A. Spencer.
At a meeting of the society in October, 1846, all the then trustees ten-
dered their resignations, which were accepted, and Judge Grant Good-
rich, William "Wheeler, Jabez K. Botsford, George Reynolds, and Amos S.
Seelev were elected to constitute a new board. In 1851, Orrington Lunt
and J. C. Outhet were elected trustees to fill the vacancies of Bros.
Reynolds and Seelev, and the other members of the board were re-
elected. The same board were re-elected in 18i55, without change. At
this time and thereafter tlie question of the improvement of the lot
began to be considered with a view to retain a place of worsliip in the
heart of the city, and at the same time make the valualile lot available
for church extension purposes. Through much consideration and
prayer, all views were finally harmonized upon a plan to erect a business
Dlock, the lower portion of which should be devoted to commercial and
so FIRST M.E. CHURCH.
Imsiness purposes, for revemic, and the upper portions to a place of
■worship. A charter for this piir\iose was ohtaiucrl by act of the lefjisla-
ture Feb 14, 1S57, hy which tlie name of the society was chanseil to
"The First Methodist Episcopal Church of Chicago." By provisions of
this charter the trustees were authorized to borrow money to erect the
building, and the revenues were to be devoted, first, to paying the debts
incurred in evectins the buildina;, and then for the purpose ot Iniying
lots and buildins; other churches in the city. Under this charter the
board of trustees was enlarged to seven, and on the 0th ot August, 1858,
Mr J C. Outhet having resigned. Grant (loodrich, J. K. Botstord,
AVilliam Wheeler, and O. Lunt were re-elected, and J. V. Farwell, J. W.
Waughop and John Havward, were a.lded to them. Under the pro-
visions of their charter, the trustees borrowed fitty thousand dollars ot
the London and Liverpool Fire and Life Insurance Company, and
twentv thou.sand dollars upon bonds guaranteeil by themselves imhvidu-
allv. With these funds a building, from plans of E. Burling, was erected
in 18.58, at a cost of seventy thousand dollars. _
The years immediatelv following were years of great busmess de-
pression "and it required "the utmost care and economy of the trustees
to pay interest, taxes, insurance, and keep even, without paying the
principal of the debt, or appropriating money to new church enterprises.
The annual and semiannual reports of the treasurer show constant ad-
vances made by himself, to meet maturing obligations. "With less careful
and faithful mi?n tomanaae, the property would have been in great peril.
Havin"- in view the great objects of their trust, as soon as the increase
of their rciits and diminishing' debt would warrant, the trustees began
to turn their attention to the crv of struggling churches. In February,
1865 before the lirst twentv thousand dollars was paid on the building,
we 'find them resolvinsr, in" response to an earnest appeal, that they
would look with great favor upon the application of the "W est Indiana
Street Church for aid, and that so soon as the lot bought on Indiana
avenue (for what is now the Trinity congregation, and what was then a
mrt of Chirk Street) was paid for, and a parsonage bought tor Clark
Street, the application of the West Indiana Street Church should be
first on the list. -^r ^, t .^ • » n t
From this time to the present nearly every Methodist society tliat
has been organized in this city has received pecuniary aid, to a greater or
lesser de"-ree from the funds of this church. In all, over seventy
thousand dollars had been paid to other churches in the city, before the
great fire, for the purposes of church extension.
Under the modified chnrterof l.^w, tirant (ioodrich, A\ lUiam Wheeler,
■V R Scrauton, J. K. Botstord, O. I-unt, J. W. Waughoji, James G. Ham-
ilton John Havward, and Kobert Shephard were elected trustees. Few
chan'o-es have" occurred since. Altiro E. Bishop in place ot Robert
Shephard, J. \'. Farwell in place of O. Lunt, and Charles Busby m
nlaceof J V Farwell, and at the commencement ot the year 18/3, R. F.
bueal in place of James G. Hamilton, are all. Substantially the same
men Avho cared for the business interests of the chuvcli thirty years ago
are still infiuential in its care and control. William Wheeler is president
and J K Botsford is treasurer of the board, as they were twenty-eight
years a^'o Ten davs after the great fire the trustees met on the nuns,
and a committee was appointed to procure plans for examination ot the
board To their great gratilication the trustees found the carelul treas-
urer iiad lar'^elv placeil the insurance on the buihling and organ in
solvent cmp'ani'es. On November 10, the trustees resolved to re-erect
their building with a stone exterior. On Anril 5, 1872, plans prepared l)y

the princinal contracts were let for its rebuilding.

Thns, although sharing largely in the misfortunes of the city hy fire,
and nionev depression, still tlie cluircli flourishes, and promises mucli
increased 'usefulness for the future. It is now one ot tlie most famous
churches upon the continent, and enjoys a reputation lor the spirit of
enterprise peculiar to itself, not only American l)ut transatlantic.
Her young men will soon be call'f 1 to assume tlie responsiljilities so
long put upon, and so noljlv, faitlifully, and al)ly l)orn by tliose wlio
must, in the course of nature, soon resign tlieir ste\yardship and pass
over to render tlieir account. Tliese young men are fully adeijuate to
the taslc. Let them be as true to the interests of their sacred cliarge as
were tlieir fathers, and if they prove not recreant to the solemn trust
transmitted to their care, the future conduct of the church cannot tail
to meet the smile of God's affectionate approltation, and the blessings of
his unbounded goodness.

MICHIGAN AVENUE M.E. CHURCH. 43
HISTORY.
?HE MICHIGAN AVEXFE M.E. CHURCH was first organ-
ized a.s a 3[issioii about the last of the year 18()7, under the
auspices of the Chicat?o Mission and Sunday Scliool Society.
The lot, 100 feet on Indiana avenue between Thirty-second
and Thirtv-third streets, was ilonated by the Board of the
- First M.E. Church, and the buildincc erected by the contri-
butions of the societv and of the diftVrent churches of the city,
mainly through the'eflbrts of the Rev. S. G. Latlirop, the City
Missionarv. It was then designated as the Indiana Avenue M.E.
Mission, and the services were comlucted in Englisli and <;er-
man, under the pastorate of Bro. Lathrop. During the years
ISB-^ and l-i(i'.» tlie (ierinan .service was abandoned, and the Sunday
School turned over to the care of the Wabash Avenue M.E. Church
and reporteil by them to the conference. The latter part ot tlie
conference vear the pulpit service was under the care ot Miner
Ravmond, D.D. Service was lirst held in a small room in
- the rear, which was furnished and dedicated by C. H. Fowler,
D.D., about the last of ISO?, being about 18x34 feet, and the main
l)art of the chaijel. about 3.5x(i0, was completed in the spring ot
1-W-i, an<l in time dedicated to the worslii]) of God l)y C. II. Fowler, D.D.
In the summer of 1869 the Citv Missionarv Society, by an official action,
turned the church and proiiertv over to the members then worshiping
there, and it was organizeil as the Indiana Avenue M.E. Church,
August 1, 1W.», bv the election of a Boar.d of Stewards, as follows: S. \V.
Swift, D. Pride, Wvcoff, Rose, Breasted, Hotfman, Elliot, and Mccirew.
the trustees of the First Church holding the property. At the Roc 1<
River Conference of 1869, the churcli applied for a pastor, ami Hev.
Hojjper Crews was appointed pastor in charge, tlie lirst (piarterlv con-
ference being held October-27, 1869. On the evening of August ."51, is'o, the
organization wasdulv completed bv the election of aboard of trustees
as follows: S. W. Swift ami Amos Manslield to serve one year, Lemuel
Ricliar Is and Frank D. Everett to serve two years, Henry S. Towle, An-
drew H. Reeves, and Clharles Busby to serve three years.
At the close of the conference year, October, 1S70, Bro. Crews re-
turned 94 members in full connection, 8 pi-obationers, I'ili Sumlav-schoil
scholars, ;j5 officers and teachers, and was succeeded by Robert 1).
Shepard.
In April, 1871, it was determined to enlarge the edifice, and llnally.
the present lot on ilichigan .Vvenue. lOOxlW feet, was pundiasedat $16i)
))erlront foot. The In liana \venue Cliai>el was sold to the Van Buren
Street Methodist Church, and a new eliiice commenced on Michigan Av
enue, whi<'h was in process of erection at the time of the great Chicago
fire. During the interim between the sale of the oM building and the
comiiletion of the new one, the socieiy worshipe 1 in the Thirty first
Street Presbvterian Church. The basement was sutliciently coini)leted
to worship in durins the month of December, ls7l, ami, finally, to the
extent originallv intended, so that it was ready anil formally <ledii'ated
February 5, 1872, the Rev. C. H. Fowler again officiating iu this service,
44

and sufficient funds were pledged to lift the entire debt. At the meet-
ing of the conferenfe, October 1871, the pastor, Rev. R. D. Shcpard, re-
ported 152 members, 2-t probationers, 36 Sunday-school officers and
teachers, 217 scholars, and was returned for another year. At the confer-
ence of October, 1S72, Bro. Shepard reported 201 "members, 30 proba-
tioners, 30 Sunday-school officers and teachers, and 340 scholars. During
tliis year the name was officially and legally changed to the Micliigau
Avenue M.E. Church. Bro. Shepard was returned for his third year,
which being quite prosperous, and the basement seeming inadequate to
the wants of the society, about the 1st of September, 1S73, it was decided
to linish the audience room, ami complete the entire edifice. While this
was in progress, the conference convened, and Bro. Shepard reported
as follows: 217 memijers, 25 probationers, 33 Sunday-school officers and
teachers, and 350 scliolars. At the request of the "society, Rev. J. W.
Pheliis was appointed its pastor.
The improvement commenced in 1S73 was duly finished, and the
building, completeil and fully furnished, was dedicated to divine wor-
ship February 1, 1874, Rev. 0. H. Fowler, D.D., again officiating in this
service. Owing to the financial panic of the previous year, and the c<ni-
tinued stringency of the money market, it was impossible to raise by
subscriptions tlie entire cost of the propertv, and $3,500 was left to bo
provideil for. The Wabash Avenue M.E. Church kindly gave to tins
society the pews and organ formerly in their old edifice, corner Waljash
Avenue and Harrison Street.
At the meeting of the conference, October, 1874, the pastor reported
245 members, 15 probationers, ;35 Sunday-school officers and teacliers, and
31)0 scholars, and the Rev. M. M. Parkh'iirst was appointed to the cliarge.
Mr. Parkhurst was pastor of this clmrcli for two years, wlien in
October, 1S76, Rev. John Williamson was appointed to succeed him. The
first year, just closed, of Mr. Williamson's ministry in this church was one
of gi'eat success. He found at the beginning of the year l!»t» full mem-
bers, after a diligent pruning of the records, and 16 probationers. At
the close of his first year, Mr. Williamson reported 2'jy full members and
75 probationers — in all 374.
During Mr. Williamson's first year of pastoral incnml)ancy in this
church, there was successfully begun a system of neiglil)orliood cottage
meetings, under the very efficient superintendency of Mr. R. F. Catter-
son. It is believed that these meetings aflbrd an answer to the question:
"How shall tlie churches evangelize the cities?"

A OURIOSITY.— SENT FREE.
As a historical curiosity we have prepared a quan-
tity of Colored Album Picture Cards of " Old Abe,"
the War Eagle, which was carried alive alonfj^ with
the colors of the Eighth Wisconsin regiment in the
late war. This picture has a history, as shown by
the following- extract from the official report ot the
last great Sanitary Fair for the sick and wounded
soldiers, held at Chicago in 1S65:
"A very original mode of raising money for the Fair
'was devised by Mr. Alfred L. Sewell, a I'ubhstier in
'Chicago. Upon the history of "Old Abe.' an eagle
'that had accompanied a Wisconsin regiment through
'the war, he based the idea ot forming, tor children,
'what he called the 'Army of the American tagle.'
'Colored pictures were struck off. of tbi-^noblespeciinen
' of the bird of Jove. The child who jiaid ten < ents for
'one of these -was to be considered a jirivate, while the
' investment of certain other small sums was graduated
'so as to secure the dignity of different commissioni m
'the Army of the American Eagle. The children were
' charmed with the ingenious device, and gave such e vi-
' deuce of their desire to aid the cause, that this little
'instrumentality alone netted the Fair the sum of pl\-
'teen thousand three hundred and eight dpU.irs anil
'ninety-three cents (SlG,o08.93). which was-. more than
'was paid by any other department, and was nearly
'one-tenth of the entire profits of the Fair."
Any person who will send nu a three cent stamp
to pay expense of mailing, will receive free, by mail,
one dozen of these fancy colored picture cards.
They will be prized by your friends as a souvenir ot
what children and young folks can do.

having been removed in December, 185!), the school was temporarily
disbanded. Early in the year 186-3, previous to the erection of the
church on Indiana avenue" and Twenty-fourth street, the school was
reorg:anized in Calvary Presbyterian Church, corner Indiana avenue
and Twenty-second street, as Trinity M.E. Churcli Sabbath School.
John Hayward was elected Superintendent, and Mr. Frank Carlev,
Secretary, who served until November, 1863, when Mr. J. Spauldiiig
was elected Superintendent.
The new place of worship having been completed and dedicateil
April, 10, 186i, the Sabbath School removed to its new home. In No-
vembei-, 186.J, John W. Waughop was elected Superintemlent. It was
at this election that Mr. George F. Starkweather was elected organist,
and serveil until 1877. Bro. J. W. Waughop, having labored successfully
for three years, retired, and in November, 1868, Wm. AA'liitcliead wa"s
called to till his place. The churcli building proving to be too small for
the increasing church and Sabbath School, was sold in 1870, and on
Christmas day the school assemljled in Prof. Faulhaber's hall, on Indiana
avenue, near Twenty-third street. Marcho, 1871, the hall was partially
destroyed by (ire, the school meeting with a serious loss bv the destruc-
tion of its library, etc., the}' for a second time occupied Calvary Pres-
byterian Churcli until June, when tliev removed to tlie hall, 'in No-
vemlier, 1871, H. Y. I.azear was elected Superintendent. After the
great lire of Octoner 1>, 1871, Wabash Avenue M.E. School united with
i\s, and remained one year. January 28, 187-2, the present church build-
ing having Ijeen partially completed, the school occupied for the tirst
time their new and elegant house. Mr. H. Y. T.azear, wliose earnest
labors were crowned with success, ser\e(l until October;', 1874, when
the Rev. C. G. Truesdell was called to till his place. His laljors as
Superintendent of the Relief Society being so arduous, he resigned
June 18, 1875, when L. F. Lindsay ^vas elected to lill his place, who is
serving as Superintendent at the present time. The record of the
school, previous to 1868, having been destroyed by fire, is not complete.
The average attendance since 1868 is as follows: 1869, 207; 1870, l!)0;
1871, WO; 1872, 249: 1873, '233; 1874; -224; 187.i, 307; 1876, 322. The school at

HISTORY.
^RIMTY METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH was an off-
shoot of the old First or Clark Street Church, an<l w.is
organizer! in 1862. The congregation formeil a Sabbath-school
in the Calvary PresbyteritinvChurch, and J. W. Waiighop and
John liayward were the Superintendents. la 18(« a cliurch
building was erected on Indiana avenue and Twentv-tirst
street, which was dedicated April 10, 1S(;4, by Dr. T. M. Eddy.
Dr. C. H. Fowler, being pastor of Clark Street, had official over-
sight ot the new society. Christopher Metz, John Havward and
Arnold Bigelow were the lirst class-leaders. At the "session of
the Rock River Annual Conference, 1S64, Rev. John H. Vincent,
now editor of Sabbath-school literature of the church, was regu-
A larly appointed pastor. He was succeeded in l.'^io by Rev. Wni.
[ Aug. Smith, who in turn was followed, in lSi;(i, by Rev. S. A. W.
'<■'■ Jewett. Dr. T. M. Edd^ was pastor in the fall and winter of 1868;
and in March, 186'J, Rev. E. B. Snyder was transferred to the
charge from the Pittsburgh Conference. In October, 1869, Rev.
Mr. Snyder was again transferred (to the Northwestern Indiana Confer-
en<e), and tlie Rev. J. H. Bayliss appointed in his ste id. As a result of
the great lire ot October, 1871, the church edilice ol Mie Wabash Avenue
S. ciety was rent e<l to the Government for a post office, an ^ their congrca-
Ijon united temporarily with that of Trinity, under the pastorarcare'^of
Rev. S. McChesuey. in October, 1S74, the term of Dr. McChesney
having expired, the church was ably supplied by Dr. C. tl. Fowler and
Rev. W. H. Milburn, until the coming of Rev. O. H. Tillany, D.D., who
entered upon his work April 21), 1875, and continued until March, 1877.
Upon the removal of Dr. Titl'iny, by transfer to tlie New York Confer-
ence, the chnrch providentially secured the services of Rev. W. F.
Cratts ot tlie Providence Conference, who occupieil tlie pulpit until
the end ot Dr. Tiffany^s unexpired year. At the meeting <d' theRor^v
River Conference in October, 1877, an unanimous. petition of the Official
l.oardot the church, expressing the wishes of the entire membersliii)
was i)resented to the Bishop and Presiding Elder, requesting that Rev.
\\. h. Cratts be transferred and returned as the regular pastor of the
church, which was granted, and he is therefore thc> present pastor of
Irinity. The church is enjoying a season of spiritual prosperity, being
m the midst of a series of revival meetings, in wliich the pastor is
assisted by Pliillip Phillips, the distinguished singer. The societv is
fifteen years old, and has grown from a little mUssion Sabbath-school to
a church of great power and usefulness, in whi.di the faith of believers
has been strengthened, and many sinners converted, through the
preaching of the Word by earnest and faithful minister :. The present
membership is about 375. During the vear just clost i >• 1,000 was sub-
scribed and paid the Missionary Society, and $!)00 fore 'r benevolent
collections. The ladies of the societv have recently lioseil a unique
series of " Round the World Entertainments," and each department of
this well-organized chundi is steadily and faithfully tloing its wor.v

HISTORY.
)N THE FALL OF 1S6S, REV. S. G. LATHROP, who was at
that time Superinteudeut of the " Sabbath School aud Missionary
Society of the M.E. Church of Chicago," in company with Rev.
S. A. W. Jewett, then pastor of the Trinity M.E. Cliurch, made
a tour of inspection through the southern portion of the city,
and the northern part ot Hyde Park, with reference to the
establisliment of religious services in connection with the M.E.
Church in that field. It seemed to them that there was an open
door, and they so reported to the Board of Managers of the
above named society. The board directed its Superintendent
to proceed to the "estal)Ushment of such services. The first
meeting of members of the M.E. Church residing in the I'.eld,
and other friends of the enterprise, for consultation, was held at
the house of Bro. M. Van Allen, on Cottage Grove avenue, near
Waupanseh avenue. At this meeting it was decided to hold public
religious services on Sabbath evenings at the house of Bro. Wm.
H. Rand, and one week-evening service each week, at such
private residences as might lie found convenient and agreeable. Tliese
services were at once established. This occurred in the month of Oc-
tober, 1868. The social meetings were held at the resiliences of Bretliren
Otis, Brown, Copeland, Goodrich, and Swann. The public service was
held regularly at the house of Bro. Rand, until the middle of February,
1869, when, the congregation having steadily increased, it was found
^^
64 LANGLEY AVENUE M.E. CHURCH.
necessary to secure a larger x>lace, and the public service -was trans,
ferred to Cleaver Hall, corner of Brooks street and Brexel Boulevard,
and morning service, as ■well as evening, held. On the 7th of March a
church organization was effected, consisting of -21 members in full con-
nection and 6 probationers. On the 14th of March two members and
one probationer were received, and on the 14lh of April eight members
and one probationer, making at that date a total membership of 31 in
full connection, and seven probationers. All tliese probationers were,
in due time, received into the church in full connection. Tlie organiza-
tion took the name of the Oakland M.E. Church. On the 14th of March,
a Sabbath School in connection witli the church, was organized. W. H.
Rand was elected its Superintendent, Robert Tliacker, Secretary, John
H. Trumbull, Librarian, and Lyman Trumbull, Assistant Librarian.
The first baptism was that of Charles O. Rider, infant son of Wm. F.
and Clara Rider, on April 4, 1869, by Rev. S. G. Lathrop. The lirst class-
leaders appointed by Rev. S. G. Lathrop were Asahel Otis and Alfred
Harvey, April 11, ISd'J. The first quarterlv conference was held April
27, 1869", by Rev. Hooper Crews, P. E. of the Chicago District. At this
conference, A. V. Brown, James N. Thacker, John Kourse, Aaron J.
Goodrich and J. Ramsey Flood were elected Stewards. Rev. S. G.
Lathrop, having been appointed Superintendent of Methodist Missions
in Montana Territory, resigned his work in connection with the Sabbath
School and Missionary Society of the M.E. Church of Chicago, his
resignation taking effect May 1, 1869. At this date the Rev. C. E.
Mandeville, of Connecticut, was appointed by the presiding elder to
the jjastorate of this church. Mr. Mandeville entered at once upon his
work, preaching his first sermon on the first Sabbath morning of May,
from the text "Receive Us," and his last on the evening of October 8,
1871, from the text "Amen." This evening will ever be memorable in
the history of Chicagoas the evening of the commencement of the great
fire. The first communion service occurred July 29. 1869. At the quar-
terly conference, held Julv 28, a lesal orsanizaf ion of the churcli was
effected, and W. H. Rand," A. F. Brown, T. G. Otis, T. Priest, and C.
DeWolf were elected Trustees. The first death that occurred was that
of Sister Mary Swann, October 9, 186V). In the spring of 1870, the chuixh
lots, on the corner of Lansley avenue and Tliirty-ninth street, were
purchased for the sum of $10,000. This sum was siibsequently paid by
the Board of Trustees of the First M.E. Church. Februarv 24, 1871, the
first load of lumber was delivered on the church lots, and on the morn-
ing of the 25lh the first blow was struck toward the erection of the
church building. This work was. completed in the following August,
and on the 6th day of August the dedicatory services were held with
rejoicing— Rev. Drs. Reid, Fowler, and Haven preaching on the occasion.
The debt at this time was $5,500, all of which was subscribed. The church
is two stories, the first floor divided into a most beautiful lecture room,
two class-rooms. Sabbath School library room, and pastor's study. The
main Auditorium is reached by two flights of winding stairs. Tlie capa-
city of the audience room is about 500. A beautiful rose window in the
center of the front, with one arched on either side, also six arched
windows on either side of stained glass furnish the light of day, and
three large chandeliers the light for evening. The audience room is
beautifully frescoed and has an alcove back of the pulpit for the organ
and choir. " The church both down stairs and up is handsomely furnished,
the floors being carpeted and the seats cushioned. The total cost of
the building and furnishings was $12,000. The great fire, together with
the panic which so soon succeeded it, crippled the members of the
church, and friends of the enterprise, so that a portion of the subscrip-
tions made upon the day of dedication has never been coUectea.

Notwithstanding this failure in making: collections, the church has been
able to meet its obli2:atious, leaving at this time an indebtedness not
exceeding$2,000— $400 of which has been recently incurred torrepairs.
Rev. C. G. Truesdell was appointed at the conference ot 1871 as Mr.
Mandeville's successor. He entered upon his work in the midst ot the
excitement of the lire, and was immediately sent abroad by the Metho-
dist Church of the citv to solicit aid for the tire sufferers. Ot the
amount raised bv him in Iowa, $500 was appropriated to this church to
assist in putting in heaters, etc. Much of Mr. Truesdell's time was
taken up m the relief work, until in June, 1872, when he was elected
Superintendent of the llelief Society. From that tune until the conter-
ence of 1872, he continued to serve the church as its pastor, but gener-
ously remitted his .salar v. Rev. J. F. Yates succeeded Mr. Truesdell.
He remained but one Vear. At the conference of 187.3, Rev. Lewis
Meredith was appointed to the pastorate. He remained two years. At
the conference of 1874 he reported 152 members, 3 probationers, 90
scholars, and 21 officers and teachers in the Sabbath School. At the con-
ference of 1875 he reported: members, 164; probationers, 8; Sabbath
School scholars. i)5; teachers and officers, 21. In 1875, W. C. Willing, D.D.,
succeeded Mr. Meredith, and he also remained two years. Dr. Willing
was appointed P. E. of the Chicago District at this conference, and the
Rev. T. C. Clendening succeeded him in the pastorate. The encourage-
ment which has thus far attended his ministry gives promise that his
record will be creilitable to himself and to his fellow-laborers in the
good work. In 1869, at the appointment of Mr. Maudeville, the charge
was known as ST. John's, and continued to be so known until at the
appointment of Mr. Truesdell in 1872, its original name of Oakland
appears again. It was known by this name until 1875. At the appoint-
ment of Dr. Willing its present name of Langley Avenue appears.

GRACE M.E. CHURCH. 77
HISTORY.
DN the year 18^7 the Methodist Episcopal Church in Chicago
^ was representc'l by the Clai-lc Street Cluircli, now known as the
First Church, and the Canal Street Church. Clark Street
Church was in the full tide of religious prosperity, having a
large and liberal congregation, whose " praise was in all the
churches," and having recently entered into possession of
the most elegant and commodious church edifice in the city,
they were ready for every good word and work. The Canal
Street Society (now Cente'narv) occupying a long, low frame
building on Canal street, near Kandolph street, were noted for
their zeal and tervor, and were actively employed in cluirch
J I work. A number of brethren, most of whom wei-e residents of the
i North Side during the spring and summer of this year, determined
'\ to organize a society in this division of the city. A meeting was
- accordingly held at the residence of the late Hon. Geo. F. Foster,
corner of Clark and Kinzie streets (now the site of McCormick
Hall). At this meeting, the Rev. James Mitchell, then
Presiding Elder, was elected cliairman, and Andrew J. Bi-own, Esq.,
Secretary. An election for trustees was held, and George F. Foster,
A. J. Brown, Jeremy Hixon, John W. Senser, Charles Sweet, and C. H. P.
Lyman were chosen. It was resolved to lease two lots on the south
Eide of Indiana street, between Clark and Dearborn streets; to solicit
funds and commence immediately the erection of a church. The title
of "The Methodist Episcopal Society of Indiana Street Chapel" was
adopted. A neat frame structure, about 3Bx4.5 feet, was commenced,
and w^is finished about Thanksgiving time, at a cost of some $1,200. In
the meantime the authorities of the cluirch had been requested to
appoint a preacher, and at the conference session of 1S47 the Rev. Free-
born Haney was designated as pastor of the new cluirch. At the dedi-
cation the Rev. James Mitchell preached an eloquent sermon, and the
society, numbering about forty, most of whom had been members of
the Clark Street Church, commenced their work under favorable
auspicies. Friends assisted in providing funds necessary to discharge
the obligations incurred in the enterprise, and, encouraged by the suc-
cessful start they had received, full of zeal in the good cause and of
faith in their tuture, the brethren commenceil a series of meetings and
continued them a long time; and, as a reward for their faithful work,
received a comparatively large accession to their number. Of the
names enrolled on the original list of members, but one now appears on
the register of Grace Church: some known to the writer have removed
to other fields; others, doubtless, still survive; but most, probably, have
"fallen asleep." of the original members of the Sunday School, or-
ganized imnieliately upon the completion of the church, Mrs. Geo. B.
Dunham is believeil to be the onlv representative remaining in the
society. The earliest meetingsof the society were characterized by great
length and fervor, and if the church at present is moderate in the ex-
pression of their feelings, it is not because their fathers had thus
taught them. Many of these were vervilemonstralive in their exercises.
Indeed a scoffing neighbor protested that returning liome nights he always
heard some of the brethren upon reaching Clark street bridge, and a friend
78 GRACE M.E. CHURCH.
asserted that he could not study his lessons evenings, because of the
noise customary at the meetings,— these undoubtedly were exaggera-
tions. In the space alloted to this clironicle, brief mention must be
made of following events. In 1848 Rev. John F. Devore, now in Oregon,
was appointed pastor, .and in IS-i'J, the Rev. Zadoc Hall, now of the
Central Illinois Conference, followed him. During Brother Hall's
pastorate, payments were made upon the lots which iiad been bought,
and a small brick parsonage was built. In 18.50, the Rev. Boyd Lowe
was sent to succeed Mr. Hall, and at a meeting held in the church, our
Brother Dunham was converted, and has since remained continuously
a member. The Rev. John W. Agard was appointed pastor in 1851, and
remained one year. Kach of the preachers, it will be observed down to
this date, served the churcli but one year. At the annual conference
of 1852 the Rev. Sias Bolles was appointed pastor, and served faithfully
for two full years. During this pastorate the capacity of the cliurch
building was nearly doubled by an addition to the rear, extenfling back
to the alley, making the building about 36x80 feet ; this added nothing to
its beauty or symmetry. In the year 1854 the Rev. Thomas Williams
followed Bro. Bolles and remained three years, the Presiding Bishop
suspending, or ignoring the two years rule, then limiting the pastoral
term, for the reason that some of the members had informed him that
the S'K'iety was about to erect a new church, and that the return of Mr.
Williams was necessary for the accomplishment of that purpose. A
vague hope had been entertained by the more ambitious members that
a new and imposing church building would be erected; that, in fact,
such a building was essential. The old building, cheaply built of wood,
was exceedingly uncomfortable, it being impossible to heat properly in
winter, and the sun lying on the low roof, made it intolerable m summer.
The society, however, had no resources adequate to the realization of
their ideal, and ought not to have moved in the matter of enlargement
until their means had been greatly increased. Tlie agitation for new
accommodations increasing, intensdied greatly by the allegation that
the preacher hail been sent for this specific work, the trustees fully
realizing that the site on Indiana street was unsuitable for a permanent
church home, contracted for the purchase in the spring of 1857 of a lot
on ihe southeast corner of Erie and Wolcott (now State) streets. This
movement, as will be seen, was disastrous to the society, but it un-
doubtedly prevented what would have been a great deal worse, namely,
the premature commencement of a new building on the old lot, plans
antl specilications for which had been prepared, and a pressure put upon
the trustees by a number of class-leaders, stewards, and others tem-
porarily resident, to begin a work which they had not ability to accom-
plish, and in a manifestlv improper place.
In the summer of 18i)7 the Rev. S. G. Lathrop was appointed pastor
and entered upon his work with great energy. Scarcely had he begun,
however, when tlie groat financial panic s«ized the iieople. Pressure,
depression, and distress became general. Nearly all the members of the
cliurch were prostrated linaucially. Quite a numliorof the members
l>nor to this time had removed to Evanston, arranging, however, to pay
tlieir proportion of the cost of the new lot. These all went down in
the storm, anil the ability of the society to pay largely decreased. The
trustees soon began to fear that they would not be able to meet the en-
gagements they had entered into— and this ajiprehension was by no
means grouiuUess, for when upon the maturity of an installment due
on the lot recently contracted for, payment was demanded, there were
no funds, curreiit'expenses, reduced by the strictest economy, absorbing
all resources. The trustees were now obliged to mortgage the Indiana
street lot as additional security for the sums due upon the new one, and

as was clearly foreseen, the result of this was (to anticipate a little) that
both lots were saoriticed to satisfy these claims, having nothing but the
equity of redemption, should there be any. The society determined to
pay their debts as longas thev had anything to pay with, and pledged their
whole property for this purpose. The flnal outcome was that the lots
were sold by the mortgagees, the full claims against the society vvere
paid, with Interest and costs, and $1,087.85 was paid into the church
treasury. Brother Lathrop served the church faitlifuUy for two years,
and several who joined it iinder his ministry remain as active members
to the present time. A <;hange in the pastorate again occurred in 18.W,
Brother Lathrop's time having been reached, an<l in the year 18(il the
church received thankfully the appointment of Kev. Dr. L. H. Bugbee
as pastor. The society, having been a tenant at will of the mortgagee
fora longtime, realized the necessity of making provision for the future,
at the same time realizing their inabilitv' to accomplish so great a work
as the providing of a churchand lot. Havinglostall but honor they were
determined to retain that. Recoverj- from the etlects of the panic was
slow and the wrecks that had strewn its course were numerous. All
these considerations combined to make men cautious anfl run no risks.
After much deliberation, a plan, and the only one that seemed feasible,
was suggested by the pastor for raising money to purchase a lot, anil
was heartily adopted. Ii was, in brief, for the members of the congrega-
tion to subscriVie as much as they would, payable monthly to such
ladies of the church as would engage in the work,"and, in addition, solicit
from friends and the public donations and subscriptions. In further-
ance of this object a society was organized under the name of the
" Ladies' Church Aid Society.'' About twenty ladies accepted suljscrip-
tion liooks and engaged with great assiduity in the work, many of them
for tliree and four years. Funds immediately began to accumulate, and
soon, at the request of the society, the lots on the northwest corner of
tMiicago avenue and I.a'^alle street were purchased. The total cost of
these lots was !?.'),339.39. Of this amount, tlie sum saved from the equity
in the Indiana street lot, §1,087.85, was paid by the church, and the entire
balance, amounting to $S,-25I.5-l. was collected by the ladies of this
society so regularly and promptly that the payments due upon the pur-
chase money were made at maturity. It is not too much to say that
these kadies by their unswerving devotion to Christ's cause laid the
foundation for whate\ er of success our church has since achieved.
On the 8th of June, 18(!;i, a meeting was held at wliich Gra<e Church
Society was organized. The ladies present at the meeting were ap-
pointed a committee to propose a name, and reported in favor of adopt-
ing the title of "Grace Methodist Episcoijal Church." This report
was unanimouslv adopted. The meeting then elected Abner R. Scranton
Anilrew J. Brown, Olivers. Goss, Alfred L. Sewell, AlfredL. Scranton,
W. P. Moss, Jr., and V. N. Gould as trustees, and ilirected them to obtain
titles to the new lots and procure plans for a chapel building, to be
erected on the north end of the I.aSalle street front. These dirVctioiis
were obeyed, and about the time of conference, Dr. I5ugbee laid the
corner-stone of the chapel, which was well advanced toward completion
by the end of the season. Dr. Bugbee was succeeded by Rev. J. C.
Stoughton as pastor in the fall of 18«3. During the winter and succeed-
ing spring the chai)el was tinished, and upon the 3d day of July, l.-tU,
was dedicated by Bishop Simpson, who preached in the morning and
dedicated the building. Drs. Tiffany and Eddy preached afternoon and
evening. Ten thousand dollars was subscribed at these meetings, and
all bills for construction and furnishing wei-e thus provided for. At the
ensuing conference. October, 1864, the Rev. Dr. TilVany was app linted
pastor, and under his ministry a large addition to the membership was

secwrefl— chiefly by conversions — most of them the fruit of a gracious
revival, sent by the Master, in answer to the faith aw\ piitient hibors of
the pastorand his flock. Many of these, prominent in tlie church, remain
to the present time, and are anions the foremost in bearinij the burdens
and sustaining tlie work of the church. The congregation liaving in-
creased to the capacity of tlie chapel building, it was deemed necessary
to commence the main" building, and in the fall of 186i; the foundations
were put in. During the succeeding season the superstructure was
erected, and the following spring the cliurch was completed, excepting
tower and spire. Dr. Tift":uiy's time liaving expireil, the Rev. A. J.
Jutkins was iippointed tf> succeed liini, October, 1867. The following
summer the new cluircli, having been linislied and furnislie I, was dedi-
cated. Drs. Hatfield, Fowler and Tiflany officiating, morning, afternoon,
and evening, in the order named. The report of the treasurer at tliat
time showeil that about $.'57,0{)0 was necessary to pav the indebtedness
of the trustees, and this large sum was subscribed to the great joy of
its friends, who had with sublime faith long looked for tliis happy "con-
summation of their desires. In tlie realization of material and spiritual
prosperity following the years of efl'ort, which have been but hinted at,
the congregation contentedly enjoyed the ministrations of Dr. Jutkins
and of Brother Parkhurst, who followed him in the fall of 1S70. During
these years there were constant accessions to the church by profession
of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and it almost seemed that we were,
as a church, nearing the apostolic condition, M'hen the Lord added to the
church daily such as should be .saved. In the midst of this blessed
fruition, unconscious of danger, sudden and dire disaster came upon us.
In the fatal month of October, 1871, the flames wrapjied our stately
church in their dread eniljrace, and in a few hours our house of prayer,
consecrated by years of sacrifice, was laid low — nf)thing but amass of
ruins left to mark the place it had adorned. " Let him that thinketh he
standeth take lieed lest he fall" Never was the insecurity of all human
things more strongly exemplified. As a church we were suddenly re-
duced from aflluence to want. Little time, however, was wasted in
lamentations over our destitution. Scarcely had the shock caused by
this appalling calamity suljsided when stout" hearts were enlisted in the
work of rehabitation." Our indefatigable pastor, eminently the right
man in the right place, witli a fidelity and heroism beyond praise, sought
out and gathered his flock. Tht? (Irst Sunday after tlie fire a goodly
number of the widely-separated brethren convened upon the ruins, were
strengthened and cheered by the In-ave words and courageous spirit of
the pastor, and, witli one accord, resolveil to stand by the old ship and
bring her once again into safe harbor. On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 5, 1871,
a meeting was held on the chapel ruins, at which the pastor and a ma-
jority of the trustees and stewards were present. It was then and
there resolved that imme liate steps be taken to builil a temporary
structure, and on December 3, twenty-eight days thereafter, and less
than sixty days after the fire, divine service was" celebrated in the new
edifice; regularly thereafter the services were continued. During the
winter it was resolved to sell the church site, it having become compara-
tively inconvenient, and the present site of tliisbuilding was purchased.
In June, 1872, the plans for the structure we now occupy were prepared
by Messrs. Burling & Adler, and adopted by the society. Work was
at once commenced, and in May, 1873, the outside of the building, except-
ing the front, was completed— the trustees deeming it wiser to submit
to the annoyance of a boarded-up front than to run heavily in debt.
The basement was finished, furnished, and opened, the money necessary
to pay balances due for construction antl furnishing, $8,000, wasas usual
promptly provided and once again the congregation was provided with
GRACE M.E. CHURCH. 8J
comfortable accommodations. At this third dedication Bishop Foster
officiated, assisted by Drs. Fowler, Tiflfany and many others. At the
conference of 1S73 the Rev. Dr. Felton was made pastor. His worli is
known too well to require our attention. During the last year lie was
with us the subject of finishing the front was considered, and at one
time a generous subscription was made for the work. The brethren
deeming the time had not fully arrived for the work, the project was
not pushed to completion. In 1875, Rev. John Atkinson succeeded Dr.
Felton. Exliaustive reports of hisdoinge and success have but recently
been placed before you. During the latter part of 1876 a subscription-
liberal in the extreme— was made for completing the church, and the
work was commenced. We now have the privilege of assembling in our
new church, finished and complete, for which let us be devoutly thankful.
It only remains for lis to express tlie thanks due the friends and patrons of
our society, who have with unparalleled generosity given freely the means
essential for completing our great work; especially would we remember
the munificent grants made by the trustees of the Clark Street Church.
Let us not forget these friends, but cherish in our hearts the warmest
gratitude to them and to God, who raised them up for us. Of the
causes which have contributed to our success, next to God's blessing,
we put as chief, the unity of the brethren ; without a discord they have
harmoniously worked for one great purpose; standing shoulder to
shoulder, seeing eye to eye, they have pushed forward the work, and
to-day we celebrate the achievement of our long-cherished object, the
free-will offering of our completed temple to Almighty God.

ADA STREET M.E. CHURCH.
HISTORY.
JN THE FALL OF 1S51 a Sabbath School was organized in a
school room on Nortli Green street, and Saniuel Polkey became
the Superintenilent. In lt^52 a chiirch was organized, and lots
were purchased upon the corner of Sannamon and Owen streets.
In the fall of 1853, the church received its lirst pastor, apiwinted
by the conference, Kev. S. Guyon, who remained two years, and
was succeeded in 1S55 liy ]{ev. C. French. The next year Rev.
William Taslior wasappiinte I to the church. In 1857 the church
secui-ed the services of lle\'. Ar/.a Brown, who remained during
the ensuing three years. The name of llie church was changed,
I as was that of thestreet, in 1800, and was tliereafter known as
the Indiana Street Methodist Episcopal Church, until it was re-
moveil from that locality. In IsfiO Rev. Jacol) llartman was
appointed to the clmrch. "Rev. D. W. Couch supplied the ensuing
-f year. In 1863 Rev. W. D. Skelton became the pastor, and i-emaiiied
three years. During iiis term of service the old church gave phu-e
e* to a larger and more convenient one, now occupying the same site
and used by "the Norwegian Metliodist P^piscopal Church. Rev. Robert
IJently Avas appointeil to tlie charsre in li^lili, and was followerl in 18tiS uy
Rev. J. llartwell. In 186!) Rev. W. F. Stewart was appointeil to the
church. During his pastorate the church building was sold to the
society now occupying it, and onr present clmrch upon Ada street was
erected. Since th."it time the church has been known by its i)reseiit
name. Rev. T. R. Strobridge entered upon the i)astorateof the (diurcli
in 1870, and was followe 1 in 1873 bv Rev. W. C. Dandy, who in 1874 gave
place to Rev. J. L. G. McKeown. 'in October, 1875, the present pastor
received his appointment to this work. We have made noconnnents
upon the work of anv of our predecessors. We are not sufliciently
familiar with the history of the church to give an accurate account of
its progress from year to vear, and were we to do so it might seem to be
making invidious distinctfons among brethren equally devoted to their
work. We have no doubt all these meu have earnestly labored for the
upl)uilding of the church and the glory of God. Some have been more
favored by circumstances, and have seen more apparent fruit-, but in
the last day we trust all will receive the "well done" of the Mister.
Sulflce it to say, that in spile of many serious ol)stacles. the care and
sacrilice incident to the erection of three church buildings, the result-
ing debts, the unpleasantness engendered by removal from the original
site, the embarrassments occasioneil by the linaucial panic which imme-
diately succeeded tlie completion of our church edifice, and other and
evenmore serious hindrances, the church has gone on working for the
good of souls and the glory of God, and is now a most peaceful and
prosperous religious organization, with more than three hundred mem-
bers harmoniously and efficientlv co-operaling in every good work. Its
r<!cent rapid growth is apparent"from the fact that nearly two-thirds of
the present membership and three-fourths of the Sabbath School have
been added during the past year and a half. We are now, iu additiorv
to the public Sabbath services and Sabbath School, regularly sustaining
two church prayer meetings and seven classes. We hive an ellicient
organization of '" Christian Workers " among our young men, a Ladies'
ADA STREET M.E. CHURCH.
115
Aid Society, a Woman's Foreign Missionary Societv, an Industrial
Society and Scliool. All these orfranizations are vital and efficient.
Tiic prospect before Ada Street Cliurcti was never brighter. AVe
have well grounded reasons lor expecting tiiis to become one of the
most powerful religious organizations in tlie city. We intend l)y a Arm
but kind administration of discipline to keep a faithful meml)ers"hip and
accurate church records. The earnest piety of our mpmbers, the peace
prevailing within our l)orders, the earnestness with which our members
are working, the constant additions to our numbers, the attendance
upon the services of oiir church, the increasing surrounding popuhition
and the evident favor of God, all justify our most sanguine expectations.
May God help us properly to use our opportunities and cultivate hi^s
vineyard! During the past few months provision has been made for
the payment of the entire debt of the church, so that when this is in
the h:inds of the readers, it is confidently expected Ada Street Church
will be free from linancial incu mbrance.

HISTORY.
)OMMENCING IX THE YEAR 1858, a few Methodist families,
priiici))ally those of Jolin Slielton, Jf)hn Scribner, Wm. Dockrell,
and Charles Kadrliff, living west of Union Park, commenced
holding weekly prayer-meetings. First at the house of .John
Skelton, 3(5 Smith street, and afterward at John Scribncr's,
corner of Lincoln and Fulton streets, and tinally at William
Dockrell's, on the corner of I'ark avenue and Robey street.
These nieetiniis were continuel nearly two years, when the
City Mission Society arranged for in'eaching on the afternoon of
each Sabbath. The" increasing attendance upon these meetings
soon made a larger room a necessity. To meet this want, tiie
ChujTh E.xtension Society purchased a lot on the northeast corner
of Park Avenue and Robev street, and the society, under the
„ direction of Wm. F. Stewart, then City Missionarv, erected a
building thereon, 24x44 feet, which was liuished and dedicated by
CA.VOSBURGH&CO.

Bishop Simpson in the spring of 1^-Gl, and Ihe society then took the
name of the I'nik Avenue INlission. Tlie principal uieuibers now
were Snniuel Springer, Miss Etta Springer, John Wigram, Mr. and Mrs.
W. r. Moss, J. C. Henderson, Mrs. Henrietta Brown, Mrs. Sandy, John
Freemrin, Charles Cline, Mr. and Mrs. H. II. Gage, J. N. Cutler, J. F.
Eberliart, and Pliilip I'lant. A Sabbatli School, wiih Albert Lane as
Superintenilent, Mas soon after started in connection witli the society.^
Increasing munbers soon made tlie building too small, and in tlie fall of
186-2 an addition of ^-ll'eet was made to it. Kev. Brotlier Chadwick was
then in charge of the society as CUty Missionary, having been appointed
■ ■' Jlenry "Whipple succeeded Brother Chadwick in
1863, and tlie societv, having largely increased in numbers, decidett to
to tliis worlcin 18(51. Jit
build a church more coramoilious and belter suited to its needs;
and for this purpose Bisliop Hamline leased to the society
85 feet of ground on the southeast corner of Park avenue and Robey
street, for a term of 9:) years, vvitliout rent for the first ten years, the
society afterward to pay one hundred dollars a year to the American
Bible Societv as rent for the ground. The church was built at a cost of
about $10,onu, and dedicated "in the year ISli.i, and became the Park Av-
enue M.E. Church. Afier Rev. Henry Whijjple, Rev. Messrs. Hitchcock
and Hardin supplied tlie pulpit until the fall of 1866, when Rev. J. H.
Bay liss was sent to the church by the conference as its lirst regular
pastor. He remained with the church for three years. During his ad-
ministration tlie church was greatly prospered, "large adilitions being
made to its members, and the church property improved by building a
parsonage, putting an addition to tlie church, ijurchasingan organ, etc.,
al a total cost of about $10,000. Aliout the year 1867 the church started
a mission Sabbath School on Seymour street, near Lake, from which
originated tlie present (dinrches of Western Avenue and Fulton Street.
Dr. AV". H. Thomas followed Dr. Bayliss in 1867, and remained with the
chnrch three years— covering the time of the great lire, in which many
members of tlie church met with large losses. The church building was
placed iu the hands of the Relief Society immediately after the fire,
and was used by them till permanent arrangements were made for the
relief of the destitute. Rev. W. H. Daniels loUowed Dr. Thomas in 1872.
In consequence of ill-health he resigne<l the pastorate in the summer
of lS7i. In the following autumn Rev. N. H. Axtell was appointeil to
t±i3 pastorate, who continued in charge two years. In October, 1876,
B£r- S. McChesney, the present pastor, was returned from Minnesota to
tte Rock River Conference, and appointed to the charge. Since which
tame the congregations have greatly increased, and there have been also
very large accessions to the membership. Havinga Held in some respects
jajffirivaled in the Methodism of the city. Park Avenue M. E. Church
anticipates a happy and glorious future.

HISTORY.
J
^^N 18G6 the Central Park Mission Snndav School, under the
auspices of Park Avenue M.E. Chui-ch, was oru;anized, near the
corner of Lake and Sevmour streets, John Freeman, Esq.,
beins appointed its Suiierintendent. He was succeeded
in 1869 bv B. W. Ellis. In the fall of ISTO preaehintf ser-
vices beiian to be sustained in the grrowinpc neighborhood.
Joseph W. Sparling-, then a student of the Garrett Bd)lical
Institute at Evanston, and now a prominent minister of the
Wesleyan Conference in Canada, supplied the iiulpit from
October, 1870, to June of 1871, at which time Kev. A. AV.
Patten, then a student, and now Pastor of Wabash Avenue
M.E. Church of this city, succeeded him until Conference of
« 1871, at winch time the Church Beiiister stood as follows: Trus-
»1 tees— John Freeman, J. I.. Campb(dl, Walter Tett, Chas. B.
" Bingham, t;has. G. Lowry, Jos. W. Burdick, Simon Andrus.
Stewards— J. B. Cochran, Albert Rutherfonl, Wesley A. Ham-
mond, Richard Oates, John Freeman, Wilbur Earl, W. W.
Watson. In the fall of 1871, Rev. Alexander Youker, then of Hal-
sted Street Mission, and now of the Taberna(de Congregational
Church, of this city, was sent to Western Avenue. Enrly in his
pastorate a change of location for the church was deemed advisable,
which, with some friction and a division of the society, was accom-
plished. The building in which the society worshiped was moved to
the present location— corner Monroe Street an<l Western .Vvenue— which
was donated by that munillcent Mother of Chicago Methodism, the
Clark Street M.E. Church. The disaffected portion of the society leased
a lot on the corner of Fulton Street and Artesian Avenue, and erected
a neat chapel. The pastorate of Rev. Mr. Youker continued through
three prosperous vears- vears of linancial prosperity to the city, and
vears of revival to the church. During 187:5, Jackson Street Mission was
organized in connection with our churcli, for the accomnioilation of the
children west of the Great Eastern Railroad track, uniler the auspices
of H. W. Matthews, Samuel Cload, Brothers Henderson, Steer, Coumbe,
Foote, and others. During this ])astorate the church was cnlai-ged by
the addition of wings, which, whde they added to the seating capacity
of the church, making it to accommodate four hundred and lifty persons,
made a structure of a school of architecture not yet classitied. This

WESTERN AVENUE M.E. CHURCH.
■was accomplishert at an expense of thirty-five hundred dollars. In Oc-
tober, 1874, Rev. II. D. Shepard, thea of the Third Street M.E. Church ot
Kockiord, 111., was stationed at Western Avenue, and continued until
September, 1877, when he left for a tour in Europe. His pastorate was
greatly blessed to the church. One hundred and seventy-two
uniting either by letter or on probation during the three years, of whom
one hundred and twenty-three remain at this date (December, 18/0 as
resident members. The society now numbers 2S3 resident members, and
45 non-resident. The church lot, fronting 127 feet on Western Avenue
and cornering on Monroe, is unencumbered by debt. The cliuicli is
located in an important and growing residence portion ot t^e citv , and
witha vigorous youth looks hopefully to a future ot great usetilness
aiid growth. In October, 1877, Rev. S. H. Adams, formerly of Centenary
Chu?ch, Chicago, was appointed as pastor of the Western Avenue
society, and has commenced his labors with results which are already
encouraging.

FULTON STREET M.E. CHURCH. 133
HISTORY.
t^^^SST^ SABBATH SCHOOL, known as the " Central Park Mission,"
^y^^-^Nff was organized in February, 1S72, and held its sessions in
a hall on Artesian avenue, north of Fulton street. As
the school increased in influence and power, a student from
Garrett Bililical Institute, Evanston, was engaged to preach
^ to them. The congregations gathered there were small. Still
^e) the brethren persevered, and God honored their labors.
Rev. John Varty was prominent among the young men thus
serving. In October the school moved into Good Templars'
Hall,'T)n Lake street, near Seymour. At the Rock River Con-
ference, then in session atRockford, the Rev. G. L. S. Stuff was
appointed pastor. October 31, the Lake Street M.E. Church
was organized with 3(5 members, and worshiped in Good Tem-
plars' Hall for one year. In June, 1873, the people began to believe
a chapel of their own would add to their success. A meeting was
called, measures adopted, and a subscription of $2,22o was ob-
tained. A Building Committee was appointed, consisting of
W. R. Mumford, J. C. Boddy, \Vm. Pugh, C. D. Ramsey, and
Geo. AV. Moss. A lot on the corner of Fulton street and Artesian
avenue was leased for five vears, and the name of the society
changed to the Fulton Street M.E. Church. Work on the church edifice
began August 9, 1S7.!, under the superintendence of J. C. Boddy, and
was completed in October at a cost of about $1,000, and November 2,
1873, was dedicated to the worship of God. The conference of 1873,
held at Mendota, returned Brother Stuff as pastor, and at the end of his
second year the society numbered 63 members and 10 probationers. Oc-
tober 13, 187-1, the Rev. R. S. Cantine was appointed to the pastorate.
Under his labors the congregation impi-oved; the Sabbath School
prospered, and many were added to the clnirch. Brother Cantine was
returned a second year, at the earnest request of the church. Though
pressed by the great financial panic of this year, the society continued
to prosper, and good work was done for the Slaster. At the close of his
second year. Brother Cantine reported 1.50 full members and five proba-
tioners." October 18, 1870, Rev. S. M. Davis succeeded to the pastorate,
and, though during the year his health became greatly impaired, he
labored earnestly and successfully as a true minister of Christ. During
a part of the summer of this year,' Brother Davis was ably supplied by
E. B. Lonsburv. At the close of the year the records called for 151 full
members, and 26 probationers. In October the services wei-e suspended
for two weeks, and the auditorium neatly frescoed, and the entire
building thoroughly repaired. In all these labors the Ladies Aid Society
rendered valuable assistance. October 16, 1877, Rev. AVm. H. Holmes
became pastor. Every department of the church now augurs only
prosperitv. The marvelous success and unusual blessings, God has
made this" society the participants in, and the recipients of, places added
responsibility on each member. It is expected that each one will do
his and her whole duty in a spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion, that this
year may be more marked than any previous one by aggressive work for
the Master.

HISTORY.
HAT is now Halsted Street M.E. Church was really
commenred aseavlv as 1SH3, when there was visitins ii'om
house to house; the holding of Cottage prayer mc ■tings,
and in the summer, open-air meetings, by members ot
Briilgeport (now Siiupson) M.E. Church, assisted by
students from the Biblical Scliool at Evanston. Then only
a few families lived in the i)resent territory workeil by
Halsted Street Chnrch-which contains a population ot
about 20,000 to 25,000 persons. These meetings continued
until August, 1866, when a Sabbath School was organized
and a hall rented for its acQommodation on the corner ot
Halsted and Twenty-second streets. \.X. its organization.
, several members of Bridgeport M.E. Church were present,
\\ also the pastor. Rev. E. S. Todd, who subseque^ntly went as
if missionary to China. The school soon increased to an average
V of 400. It continued in the hall until the tail ot W,/,
T when was completed a chapel, the building ot which was
superintended bv Rev. S. G. Lathiop, then City Missionary. In
\m\ a large addition was made to the chapel, ^yhlch met tic
wants of Che neighborhood until the fall ot l^-o when the
present building was commenced by the ien trustees named
w above-nine of whom assumed personal liability T'le ninetj -
seven feet of ground, which was purchased xu 18b7, is entirely covered

with the building:, in which are four stores, several nflices, a hall and an
audience room on the second floor of suflicient size to seat 1000 persons
and so constructed that, bv means of sliiling doors, it can be divided into
thirteen compartments for Sabbath school purposes, etc. The rent of
the stores, ollices, and hall provides for the interest, insurance, repairs
etc., and leaves a small amount to apply on the building debt. After
the debt is paid the income wi 1 be used in the Lord's work in the
crowded portions of the city. The church society is out of debt, except
for current expenses. During: the construction of the building thev
worshiped in the old building and in a store, corner of Halste 1 anil
Evans streets. At this date, Januarv, 187ts, i he congregation averages
about 1.50 to 200 in the morning, an 1 :m to 400 in the evening, and fhe
Sabbath school about 000, with a membership of over 800. The pastors
have been Rev. S. G. Lathrop, Thos. Craven— now in India preachin"
the gospel— Rev. A-Touker, Rev. Samuel Paine, Rev. S. Washburn, Rev"
H. Hill, and the present pastor. Charles Cook, now missionary to the
Indians in Arizona, did valuable work by way of visitation, cottage
meetings, child. en's meetings, etc., and was the instrument in leading
many to Christ. The above is only a brief historv of the work vil
that has been done that has been of real value has been by the great
Head of the Church through his consecrated people. To Him be all the
glory, with a prayer that we mav all receive a greater baptism of the
Holy Spirit for service, and that the result of future work may be
the salvation of many.

mSTORYT^
>IHIS chnrch society Avas organized the latter part of July, 1872.
The iirst service was held in front of the residence of Mrs.
Wilson, on Western avenue, corner of Thirty-lifth street.
The following week the society obtained the use of the upper
room of the Brighton public school building, where services
where held for some months, at 4 P.M., under the charge of
Rev. Henry Hill, then filling an appointment at Simpson M.IS.
Church — he kindly consenting tocome up to preach for this society
jV, previous to service in his own church in the evening. He was fol-
1 lowed by several transient preachers, until the spring of 1873,
"' when Rev. Brother Wakeman, a local preacher, then living in
Chiciigo, supplied the pulpit until the fall of the same year.
During Brother Wakeman's administration the present church
edifice was erected at a cost of about $2,500. After this time the pulpit
was supplied successively bv Rev. IJrothers Cowan, Carr, and Herrick
(local preachers, and students at the Theological Institute atEvanston),
until the present conference vear. During the present conference
year of 1877-78, the services are "in charge of the Rev. Thos. C. Matlack
(local preacher), formerly of the Western Avenue M.E. Church. Preach-
ing services are held morning and evening, and Sabbath School in the
afternoon. The church building is all paid for, but the people are
laboring undera very heavy burden in the shape of an encumbrance of
$2,000 on the church lots. The Sabbath School has an average attendance
of about thirty.
