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.
page twenty-one
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.
This article cannot be so well closed as bv the following fromi one

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
..%.^v:iM■;
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.

Open the door for the children,

In from the places of sin.
Sojue ai'e so young and so helpless.
Some are so hungry and cold,
Open the door for the children
Gather them in to the fold.
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.
page torty-one
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.
