HISTORY OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY.

First United Presbyterian Church was or- ganized April 26, 1883, with fifteen members; now there are about seventy. The Elders are Dr. W. C. Parker and S. E. Manning. At first the meetings were held in the Chinese Mission building on Wilmington street, where the or- ganization was effected under the auspices of the San Francisco Presbytery. Next their place of meeting was in the Nadeau Block, until the present neat church, on the northeast corner of Eighth and Hill streets, was erected, costing a little ever $4,000, not counting the lot. The magnificent parsonage, on a lot adjoining, was erected under the supervision of the present pastor, Rev. Henry W. Crabbe, at a cost of $3,100.

The ministers were " supplies " at first,- Revs. MeKee and J. C. Nevin (and possibly others); and the regular pastors have been Revs. W. J. Golden(?), J. M. Hervey from July 7, 1884, to the fall of 1887, since which time Rev. Mr. Crabbe has been in charge.

A church of this denomination also exists at Pasadena, where Rev. Thomas Kelso is pastor. It was established in 1888, and the place of meeting is the hall of the Young Men's Chris- tian Association.

CONGREGATIONAL.

First Congregational Church .- In April, 1865, Rev. J. H. Warren, D. D., from the American Home Missionary Society, visited Los Angeles, at which time there was not in this eity a Protestant minister, Sunday-school, nor even a house of worship. There had been min- isters of all denominations here excepting Con- gregationalists, but all had gone away. On July 7, 1866, Rev. Alexander Parker commeneed laboring in Los Angeles at the instance of the American Home Missionary Society, and held services at the court-house. In May, 1867, a lot for the church was bought, and on the 21st of July, 1867, the church was organized with six members. Rev. J. A. Johnson, of Santa Bárbara, and Rev. B. F. Crosby, of San Bernar- dino, assisted in the organization. The church edifice was erected on New Iligh street, and

dedicated in the year 1867. Rev. Alexander Parker, however, resigned and left in August, 1868, and that organization ceased to exist. At the instance of Rev. Mr. Warren, Superintend- ent of American Home Missionary Society for the State of California, a meeting was held at the residence of Rev. Isaac W. Atherton, No- vember 28, 1868, at which there were present eight persons, all of whom concurred in the de- sire to re-organize as a Congregational church, adopting as a basis the articles of faith and cov- enants of the First Congregational Church of Oakland, California.

On Sunday, November 29, 1868, service was held in the church on New High street, the sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Warren, and after the sermon, Rev. Dr. Warren was chosen moderator and Rev. I. W. Atherton, clerk. The articles of faith and covenants were adopted and the following persons then entered into covenant with God and each other as the First Congre- gational Church of Los Angeles: Isaae W. and Adelia II. Atherton, H. K. W. Bent, Arthur Lee Thompson, J. H. and Amanda Post, Jolın C. Brown, Edwin D. Sweetser, Esther Allen and Harriet B. Fuller. Mr. Post was elected and ordained deacon. Articles of incorporation were adopted September 18, 1878. The present num- ber of members is 420, and the officers are: Deacons, H. W. Mills, W. H. Griffin, N. S. Averill, A. B. Clapp, H. E. Storrs and Dr. B. Todd; Clerk and Financial Secretary, W. R. Blaekman; Treasurer, J. R. Brown; Superin- tendent of the Sunday-school, Don A. Judd.

The pastors have been: Revs. Isaac W. Ather- ton, 1868-'71; J. T. Wills, 1871-'73; D. T. Packard, 1873-'78; C. J. Hutchins, 1879-'82; A. J. Wells, 1882-'87; Robert G. Hutchins, 1888 to the present.

The first house of worship, at the corner of Hill and Third streets, was erected in 1882-'83, at a cost, including lot, of $22,273, and dedi- cated May 3, of the latter year. In November following a very fine pipe organ was placed therein, costing $2,500. In May, 1888, this church buikling was sold to the Central Baptist

Church, and a lot purchased on the southwest corner of Hill and Sixth streets, whereon a fine modern structure, capable of seating 1,200 to 1,500, was erected this year (1889), at a cost, with furnishings and lot, of about $72,000. It is seated with assembly or opera-house chairs, and appropriately finished and ornamented throughout.

The Second or Park Congregational Church was organized June 8, 1884, as a mission Sunday- school, by Rev. Mr. Billings, who also organized the church proper there the following October. A number of ministers have since been in charge of the church. Rev. E. R. Brainerd, the first permanent pastor, has been in charge now for nearly three years. He has been very success- ful. The membership has grown from about twenty in number to 135, and the Sunday-school, of which Mr. Brainerd is also superintendent, has a membership of abont 150. This is the pioneer church in that hill district. The Dea- cons are: James Gillespie and George F. Hill; Clerk, J. Mills Davies.

The congregation was organized in a tent on Beaudry avenue, near Temple street. In 1886 a building costing $700 was erected on a lot in " Park Circle," near Temple street. In 1888 this was sold, and the present building-which is only a wing to the main churchi yet to be erected-was occupied. It is situated on a lot 78 x 175 feet in dimensions, at the corner of Metcalf and Temple streets. A parsonage is in the rear; these two buildings cost about $3,500. The seating capacity of this temporary church is about 250. The cost of the main building will probably he about $10,000. It will be a handsome structure. The success and present prosperity of this church is due largely to the talent of the pastor.

The Third Congregational Church was or- ganized in 1884, after religious services had been held in that neighborhood for several months. Rev. W. H. Ramsay, the organizer, remained as pastor for a few months, and has since been succeeded by Revs. E. B. Hooker, George Hemas, O. C. Weller, J. H. Phillips,

W. H. Hanscom, E. S. Williams, George A. Rawson and J. H. Collins, the present incum- bent, since June 15, 1889. The membership has increased from sixteen to thirty. Deacons, (. B. Hall and G. T. Hanly. The house of worship was erected in the autumn of 1883, on the corner of Railroad and North Main streets, at a cost of about $3,500; ground and building are now valued at $5,000. Seating capacity, 350.

East Los Angeles Congregational Church was organized March 20, 1887, by Rev. J. H. Phillips, the present enterprising pastor. The membership has increased from thirty-two to about 200. Deacons: W. A. Kennedy, F. P. Howe, Joab E. Cushman and Peter Warner. The Sunday-school, numbering about 260 pupils, is superintended by D. Gilbert Dexter. The " Phillips Club " numbers ninety young men, whose headquarters are in the gymnasium and reading-room which the pastor has had added to the church building, at a cost of $2,100. The " Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor" has sixty to eighty members. This is said to be the mnost flourishing church in that beantiful suburb. The church edifice, 51 x 114 feet, is located on North Daly street. Cost, about $10,- 000. Dedicated March 11, 1888. The society is out of debt. Rev. Mr. Phillips is a native of Ohio, was formerly an attorney at law in Colo- rado, and was for three or four years pastor of the church at Leadville, that State. His resi- dence is in a cosy nook in the hills, 123 Prim- rose avenue.

The Vernon Congregational Church, south of the city, with a membership of abont eighty, has a church building, which with lot cost prob- ably about $4,000. The society there was first started as a mission Sunday-school by G. T. Hanly, and it is still aided to some extent by the Home Mission Society. Rev. George A. Rawson is the pastor.

The West End Congregational Church is a small society west of the city.

Rider is the pastor.

The Eust Los Angeles Baptist Church was organized in the fall of 1885, by Rev. C. W. Gregory, who is now a general missionary in the southern counties of this State.

A neat parsonage is on an adjoining lot. There are now 120 members in the society. Rev. W. W.

Emil Schaefer is the teacher of the parish school during the week, where there are thirty to fifty pupils.

The school-house, which also cost $3,000, is now temporarily used for public worship.

The First English Lutheran Church was first organized as a mission in January, 1887, being supported by the Woman's Board of the General Synod. The congregation is now half self-sustaining, and soon will be fully so. The membership has increased from twenty-three to about 125. Rev. C. W. Heisler, A.
