"If there be no nobility of descent, all the more indispensable is it, that there should be nobility of ascent-a character, in them that bear rule, so fine and high and pure, that as men come within the circle of its influence, they involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the royalty of virtue." -Bishop Henry C. Potter.

The burning of the First Episcopal Church in Little Rock, together with all the church records, on Sunday, Sep- tember 28, 1873, has been felt by the congregation to be an ever recurring calamity, as incidents and dates connected with its history have faded almost into irreclaimable obscurity. It has been the aim of the writer to restore the main facts con- nected with the birth and progress of the church by means of oral and epistolary tradition, and in this manner, however inadequate, to fill the hiatus caused by the missing data, and then, with the help of the new register, to continue with the annals of the church to the present time.
ALDINE BOUK CO.
This has necessarily been a slow process, especially as the work has been designed, from the beginning, to occupy only such legitimate leisure hours as the demands of a large family have left unclaimed.
The profits of the work, if any, will be devoted to the missions of the Diocese of Arkansas.

THE ANNALS OF Christ Church Parish,
LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS.
PART FIRST.
Little Rock was a field for missionaries of the Christian religion before it became a military post. The dove, emblem of the Holy Spirit, had borne the olive branch with its message of peace to the heathen of the trans-Mississippi forests, before cannon and other equipments of war had been transported to enforce it.
A. D. 1779-1825. The Roman Catholic missions at Arkansas Post and Pine Bluff were organized in 1779. Next came the disciples of John the Baptist to proclaim the Gospel in this wilderness and to organize a mission, in 1824. The Christian Church, which was an offshoot of the Baptist, was established here in 1825, by the Rev. John T. Johnson, of Kentucky, who represented the Society of the "Disciples of Christ." Their church was seated on Scott street, between Mulberry and Walnut streets, now Third and Fourth.
A. D. 1827. The Presbyterians came next, and, in 1827, built a wooden church near the corner of Main and Cherry (now Second) streets.

THE ANNALS OF CHRIST CHURCH PARISH.
A. D. 1830. The Roman Catholic priests planted a mission here in 1830, and built a church on the northwest corner of Louisiana and Chestnut (now Seventh) streets, which was afterwards converted into a convent and school for girls.
A. D. 1833-1840. The Methodists came next, and, in 1833, built a brick church west of Main on Cherry, or Second street. Seven years later, in 1840, as the following letters will show, the Episcopal Church was established in Little Rock.
Copy of a letter written by Bishop Leonidas Polk, first Missionary Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Arkansas, to Mr. John H. Crease, of Little Rock :*
Columbia, Tenn., June 26, 1840.
To John H. Crease, Esquire :
Dear Sir-This will be handed you by my reverend brother Wm. H. C. Yeager, of the Episcopal Church, who goes to Little Rock, under the appointment of the Church, with a view of laboring among you as a minister. Your interest in all that appertains to our church in which you have been sealed will insure, I am confident, a welcome recep- tion to him as its messenger, and all the aid of which you are capable of furthering the object of his mission. He is kindly commended to your affections and attention. I had hoped long since to have been able to write such a letter as this to you by the hands of an individual, who goes to break to you the bread of life, but although diligent efforts have been made to secure the services of a competent person to go to you, I have found it impossible to succeed in anywise to my wishes. It is vastly easier to make applications for laborers than to secure their services. Indeed the time has never been, in all the history of our church, when there was

such a demand for ministers' service and when the supply of ministers was so scant. The gentleman who goes to you, goes, I am sure, with the full purpose of giving himself to the work, and I trust that under God, he may be effectively and eminently useful. I perceive by the papers that the hand of affliction has been heavily laid on you and yours, since I saw you, in the removal of both your estimable son, who was taken from you in the very buddings of his youthful promise, and your son-in-law, the Rev. Mr. Nelson. The latter I had hoped might have consented to go to Little Rock, but was assured, when in Virginia, that he could not be induced to leave Bishop Meade, between whom and himself I knew there was a very tender attachment. In the late address of the Bishop to his convention, I see he numbers him, not only as a brother by marriage, but also, and much nearer, as one whom he much loved in the Gospel. I hope they are both at rest, and that their early retirement from the engagements and anxieties of life may warn those whom they leave behind of the utter uncertainty of all human hopes. God, I trust, my dear sir, has not left your family comfortless, but has manifested himself to you in the bringing about of a more devout and constant consideration for the things of Eternity.
I shall, if God will, hope to see you and your friends generally in Little Rock this winter. With my kind regards to your family,
I remain your friend, LEONIDAS POLK.
REV. WILLIAM HENRY CHRISTOPHER YEAGER.
A. D. 1839-1843. Rev. William Henry Christopher Yeager was the first Missionary Rector of Christ Church. He was ordained Deacon December 21, 1839, by Bishop Leonidas Polk. The date of his ordination as Priest is not known, but it is inferred that Bishop Polk ordained him, as he was assigned to duty in Little Rock in June, 1840, by Bishop Polk. The congregation had no building in which to

worship, but the Wardens and other Vestrymen were making successful efforts to accumulate funds for the purpose of building. The letters appended to this meagre sketch will show that efforts were being made to secure help from with- out, while the subscription list which the first Senior Warden kept shows the zeal of Rev. Mr. Yeager and his congregation to accomplish that object. Mr. and Mrs. Yeager conducted a school, Mrs. Yeager taking the musical department. She was an accomplished niusician and presided at the organ to conduct services. The choir was composed of Mr. John H. Crease, choir master ; Mr. William E. Ashley, Mr. Gordon N. Peay, Mr. John E. Reardon, Mr. D. C. Fulton, Mr. T. D. Merrick, Mrs. Helen Scott, Miss Lavinia Reardon, Miss Harriet Grafton, Miss Lizzie Shall, and Mrs. Yeager. Mr. and Mrs. Yeager had one little daughter, Clara Ophelia, at that time. Mr. Yeager resigned his position as Rector in 1843. It is not known now where he removed to.
On the resignation of Dr. Yeager from the office of Rector at Christ Church, the vestry adopted the following resolutions :
Resolved, That in accepting the resignation of the Rev. Wm. H. C. Yeager, as Rector of Christ Church, we deeply regret the necessity that constrains a separation ; that we tender him, in the name of the congregation, our most grateful thanks for the zeal and fidelity with which he has labored to build up the Protestant Episcopal Church in this city, and has watched over the spiritual interests of the flock committed to his care; that he carries with him our fervent prayers for his prosperity and happiness and continued use- fulness in spreading the Gospel of our Lord.

Copy of a letter of Lambert Reardon to the Rev. Dr. Wyatt, Baltimore, Md .:*
Little Rock, Ark., May 18, 1841.
Dear and Reverend Sir-On ordinary occasions I should scarcely deem my acquaintance with you sufficient to author- ize my addressing you, having been but a few years a parish- ioner of yours, and during that time I was not fortunate enough to be very intimate with you and a lapse of years may have passed from your mind a recollection of me; but as the object of the present communication is the promotion of the Church, it must be my apology for thus obtruding on you. Dr. J. P. Norman, the gentleman who will hand you this, I take great pleasure in introducing to you. He is one of the few pioneers in this country in the cause of the Church, and an active member of the Vestry in this place, where we are making an effort to raise the first Episcopal Church in Ar- kansas. He visits his friends in the East and goes author- ized to ask and receive such aid toward our undertaking as cur friends and those of the Church may feel willing to give us. There are in this place about twenty families, Episco- palians, who, from their slender means, have raised sufficient to purchase ground, put up the walls and inclose a Church, which we propose doing this summer, and the object of our solicitations is to obtain something towards finishing the inside of the house, and, if possible, to procure an organ.
I am perfectly aware of the frequent calls on our East- ern friends for the support of the Church in various ways, but we think that few applications for assistance are made that present stronger claims on our more favored friends than ours. The first attempt to raise the standard of our Savior by the Episcopalians in this State must, when known, be an object of great interest by our brethren everywhere, and, as we are sure, on our own success in this place, the prosperity of the Church mainly depends in this State, perhaps for many

years. Your known zeal in the cause of the Church and the liberality of your parishioners towards the cause of truth, gives assurances of your kind offices in our behalf.
Our friend, Dr. Norman, will be absent some months, and should it not be convenient to do anything for us while he is in Baltimore, perhaps on his return home it will be. He will take a letter to Dr. Henshaw from my son-in-law, Mr. Scott.
With great respect, your friend and humble servant,
LAMBERT REARDON.
A. D. 1842, MARCH 31.
Little Rock, Ark., March 31, 1842.
To the Right Rev. Wm. Meade, D. D., Bishop of Virginia :
My Dear Sir-I am perfectly aware of the continued claim upon your time and attention to administer to the wants of Churches more immediately under your own Bishopric, yet I am nevertheless constrained by a knowledge of your great zeal and liberality in such cases, and by the personal regard which you have ever manifested toward the writer, to solicit your influence in obtaining pecuniary assistance for our infant association of Episcopalians now struggling for exist- ence in this city.
We have but a limited population in this city and the Church-going portion of that number was previously enlisted by the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Baptist societies, which have been long since established. These have each collected their own adherents, and doubtless proselyted those who would have given "the Church" a preference had one been then in existence. But with all these disadvantages a very small band of persons attached to the service of the Protestant Epis- copal Church, have associated themselves together for the pur- pose of procuring a minister and erecting a building, wherein we, and all those similarly disposed, might have an oppor- tunity of worshiping our heavenly Father in the mode prac- ticed and taught to us by our earthly parents, and in which
7
THE ANNALS OF CHRIST CHURCH PARISH.
service all our early associations and best feelings are strongly enlisted.
The Missionary Society have (out of their limited means) very liberally assisted us by contributing $400 per annum towards the support of a minister, but the expense of living at this place being very great and our present minister having a family, it is incumbent on us to contribute at least $600 more for that object, besides which we have contracted for (exclusive of the ground) and nearly finished a brick Church at a cost of upwards of $4,000, and, when our means and strength are somewhat enriched, wish to put up a parson- age house to avoid the excessive charge of rent. We are also desirous of procuring an organ, not, as I think you will readily believe me, from any desire of ostentatious display, but in order that the praises of God (in chants and hymns) may be performed with uniform propriety and devotion, and as our minister's wife is a perfect proficient in music, we are the more desirous of giving all the aid in our power towards ren- dering that portion of the service as perfect as our feeble capacities are able to make it.
The society in whose cause I am now pleading is the first, and at the date of its commencement, was the only association of Protestant Episcopalians within the whole State! The monied obligations to carry out the objects in contemplation are too heavy to be sustained by the few persons engaged in it, and we call earnestly on our Episcopal brethren to assist us in making the "first start" and by God's help on our endeavors, we trust hereafter not only to support our own Church and minister, but to pay back into the general treasury, for the benefit of other needy churches, the sums which are now bestowed on us. I am the more carnest in taxing the exertion of my personal friends, from the circumstance of having but recently awakened to a sense of the impropriety of my own conduct in suffering a month of personal feeling to withdraw me (for a reason ) from my duty toward the Church. That stumbling block is now removed, and I thank God that He has shown me the error of my course. The change of times
8
THE ANNALS OF CHRIST CHURCH PARISH.
and great reduction of salary has, however, materially lessened my own ability to contribute to the work and likewise prevents others from subscribing thereto, under which consideration, I am impressed with a deep sense of the duty imposed on me to use the greater diligence and exertion in repairing (to the utmost of my ability ) the injury which I have done the cause, by withdrawing from its support. If the occasion will not give warrant for my public appeals within your diocese, suffer me to request that you will personally apply to some few friends of the Church, whom the Providence of God has ren- dered abundantly able, and whose uniform benevolence has proved them to be ever ready to contribute towards any proper cause.
Our own resources are exhausted, leaving us in debt, with the Church unfinished, and donations, however small, will be most thankfully received and acknowledged.
Before I close, permit me, dear sir, to tender my grateful acknowledgments for your kindness and protecting care of my much beloved and bereaved daughter, Jane Nelson, the recollection of which is indelibly imprinted on all of our hearts, and the prayer of the widow and fatherless will daily ascend to the Giver of every good and perfect gift, that His richest blessing may descend on you and yours. Mrs. Crease desires to join in affectionate regards to every member of your own family, and to our worthy friends at Long Branch, and kind remembrance to all others who have any recollection of or regard for us, and with sentiments of the highest respect and regard.
I remain most truly yours, J. H. CREASE .*

THE ANNALS OF CHRIST CHURCH PARISH.
Staunton, Va., May 19, 1842.
To Mr. J. H. Crease, Little Rock, Ark. :
My Dear Friend-Lest you should for a moment sup- pose that I neglect your letter, I seize a moment of leisure in the midst of convention, and with a bad pen and paper write to say that I have just received your kind communi- cation.
Would that I were able to enclose you something or knew who were both able and willing to do it. My dear friend, if you knew all we have to do in Virginia, how many wish to beg for new Churches, plain ones, without organs, but dare not, and how hard the times are with us, you would not be surprised at my doing nothing.
I hope in a few weeks to see Jane and her children. They are well, I hear. I trust God will bless them.
Business calls me away. Love to all yours.
Your sincere friend,
WILLIAM MEADE.
