They afterwards worshiped for a few months at the residence of a member of the congregation, and then in the public school house at Brooklyn.
In 1863 they organized and purchased a lot and the small wooden edifice which they now occupy, for the sum of $700. Mr. John Lane, a local preacher, then took charge and officiated about one year. Since his connection with the church ceased, several local preachers officiated suc- cessively until the Spring of 1872, when the Rev. James Dorsey took charge. In 1874 he was succeeded by the Rev. Jeremiah B. Sanderson, who officiated until his death in August, 1875, from which time the pul-

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Location, northeast corner of Franklin and Fourteenth streets. Rev. James Eells, D.D., Pastor; residence, Temescal.
This church was organized March 26, 1853, and admitted to the Pres- bytery of San Francisco on the eighth of November of that year, making it the oldest church organization in Oakland. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was first celebrated in the Oakland Free School, Rev. S. B. Bell officiating. Some years afterwards the society built a frame church edifice at the corner of Seventh and Webster streets. This building was in a few years more moved to the southeast corner of Thirteenth and Broadway streets, where the society had purchased a small piece of land, one hundred feet on Broadway and one hundred and fifty feet on Thir- teenth streets. In 1874 the society sold this land for $24,000, and ob- tained $2,000 for the building. With this sum they immediately began to erect the present convenient and handsome structure, now occupied by them, the corner stone of which was laid April 24, 1875.
The lot on which this church stands has a frontage, on the north side of Fourteenth Street, of one hundred and fifty feet, and on the east side of Franklin Street of two hundred and six feet. The building fronts on Fourteenth Street, to the south. The main building is one hundred feet wide, ninety-four feet deep, and seventy-two feet high at the apex. This contains an auditorium, a little more than semi-circular in form, ninety-six feet wide, seventy-six feet deep on first floor (eighty-five feet including gallery over vestibule), and fifty-five feet high, and contains one hundred and eighty-one pews, and seats seven hundred and fifty-six per-

sons on first floor. The towers are eighteen feet square ; the more lofty one, one hundred and ninety-five feet and the other one hundred and forty feet high. Over the vestibule is a gallery gained by a staircase in either tower, which contains thirty-four pews, besides wall seats, and will seat two hundred and fifty persons, making the total capacity of the church one thousand and six. The auditorium is lighted in the evening by a sun-burner suspended from the ceiling, which gives a soft and pleasant light. The ceiling of this room is arched and the roof is supported by three immense trusses, the strength of which is unquestioned.
The rear building is sixty-eight feet wide and seventy-eight feet deep, and contains the organ loft, pastor's study, and a lecture room thirty-six feet wide, thirty-two feet deep, and forty-three feet high in the center. This room is surrounded on three sides by a gallery fifteen feet wide, and when the main room and the rooms under this gallery are thrown into one by opening the folding doors, it gives a room of fifty-two by sixty-six feet.
The building is a model for a church and supplies all the conveniences necessary for social gatherings or Sunday school purposes. The organ was made by Messrs. Bevington & Sons, of London, and cost $4,600, delivered and placed in position. The entire cost of the church property, including the organ and furnishing, is $78,600.
Messrs. Wright & Sanders, of San Francisco, were the architects and Mr. W. E. Boone was the builder.
The following pastors have been settled over this church : Rev. S. B. Bell, D.D .; E. B. Walsworth, D.D .; J. D. Strong, L. Hamilton, L. W. Poor, D.D., and the present pastor, Rev. James Eells, D.D., who assumed charge in July, 1873.

Location, northeast corner of East Fourteenth Street and Fifteenth Avenue. Rev. W. H. Dean, Pastor; residence, 562 East Fifteenth Street.
This church was organized February 17, 1861, with ten members. The Rev. George Pierson was the first Pastor, and officiated until 1870. From that time the Rev. Oliver Hemstreet, Rev. E. H. Camp, and others, acted as stated supplies until December, 1872, when the Rev. T. M. Dawson, in response to a unanimous call from the congregation, en- tered upon the discharge of his duties, and was installed Pastor on the thirteenth of February, 1873. He continued in charge until May 1, 1875, when he resigned and the present Pastor took charge. Number of com- municants, May, 1875, fifty-seven ; present number, ninety-four.
The church edifice was erected in the Summer of 1861, at a cost of $4,700. The lot on which it stands is seventy-five by one hundred and forty feet, and was donated to the society by James B. Larue, Esq. In 1867, the building was improved at an additional expense of $1,800, and a bell for the edifice purchased for the sum of $1,000.

Location, southeast corner of Jefferson and Twelfth streets. Rev. L. Hamilton, Pastor ; residence, 1165 Jackson Street near Twelfth.
This church was organized February 28, 1869, and is the only one of a similar character in California. The Pastor of this congregation officiated for several years as Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in this city, but for opinions expressed by him he was tried before the Presbytery, and subsequently before the Synod, resulting in his being deposed by those bodies February 24, 1869. A large portion of Mr. Hamilton's congregation, who were opposed to this decision of the Presbytery and Synod, determined upon organizing another society, and secured Brayton Hall as a temporary place of worship, where services were held until the Spring of 1870, when the edifice now occupied by the congregation was erected at a cost, including lot, of about $37,500.` Number of communi- cants, about one hundred.
The Sunday school connected with the church was organized March 6, 1869. It has an attendance of about three hundred, teachers and scholars, and a library of five hundred volumes. Meets at half past nine o'clock A.M. Superintendent, William H. Jordan.
Trustees .- Josiah Lusk, General George A. Nourse, T. J. Arnold, Joseph Gillivray, C. T. Hopkins, C. W. Reid, G. W. Grayson, George A. Grant, and W. W. Spaulding, President.
CHURCH OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION-ROMAN CATHOLIC
Location, west side of Jefferson Street, between Seventh and Eighth. Rev. Michael King, Pastor; Rev. Hugh Lagen, Assistant. Pastoral resi- dence adjoining the church.
Twenty-six years ago a private house served as a place of wor- ship for the Catholics of Oakland, and nearly the whole of the present County of Alameda. A priest from the Mission of San José occasionally made a visit to celebrate mass and administer the sacraments, and even these occasional visits had to be omitted during the rainy season, owing to the bad roads. The first church, a building of the most modest description, was erected in 1853 through the exertions of a few of the congregation, and for some time was the only Catholic place of worship in the whole of Alameda and Contra Costa counties, with the exception of the old Mission. Subsequent additions, made by the Rev. Fathers Croke and King, increased the size of this edifice until it was capable of holding a congregation of several hundreds, but this, too, had become entirely inadequate to the needs of the population of Oakland, although three new parishes had been formed in the county. In 1869, Father King determined to erect a church on a scale commensurate with the promised importance of this city. Plans accordingly were prepared for a building surpassing in dimensions anything in the State, though only with the intention of erecting a part of it at first, a design which has been carried out in the present structure. The foundations were laid in that year, but various causes retarded any further progress until May, 1871, when the superstructure was commenced, and pushed vigorously forward. Although not quite completed, the church was dedicated on the 23d of June, 1872. The ceremony of dedication was performed

by the Most Rev. Archbishop Alemany.
