A brick structure was erected on the lot on the corner of Eighth and I Streets during the summer of 1856. It was capable of seating three hundred people and cost about $15.000. Rev. Mr. Hill preached the opening services September 7, 1856. Mr. Hill tendered his resignation in 1870, and in May Rev. J. H. C. Bonte accepted the call. The walls of the

church built in 1856 having settled, the build- ing was abandoned after the first Sunday in March, 1871, and April 18, 1871, Bishop Kipp laid the cornerstone of a new church on Eighth Street between I and J. A mortgage to aid in building the New Grace Church was placed on the property at the time of its erection. The church cost $26,000, exclusive of the lot. and was mortgaged to the Odd Fellows' bank for a loan of $10,000. For several years the interest on the loan was paid regularly, and during that time $1,000 of the principal was also paid. In 1874, however, owing to the re- moval from the city of some of the wealthiest parishioners and the closing of the church for several months on account of the absence of the rector, the revenues of the church were lessened. The interest being unpaid, the debt began to increase, and in 1877 the parish had become bankrupt. The mortgage was fore- closed, and all of the property of the church was sold to satisfy creditors, and the name of the church and its organization were extin- guished.

Realizing the crisis that had arisen, a num- ber of the prominent laymen collected enough money to purchase the church from the bank, and the new parish of St. Paul's was organ- ized March 23, 1877, and in May following Rev. E. H. Ward, of Marysville, was invited to take charge. He was succeeded January 1, 1882, by Rev. Carroll M. Davis, and he in turn was followed by Rev. John F. von Herrlich. Under his charge improvements amounting to over $2,000 were made, and later two fine stained-glass memorial windows of beautiful design were placed in the church. The one in the chancel was the gift of Mrs. Charles Crocker, in memory of Mrs. Col. Fred Crocker, and a large side window was put in as a memo- rial for Mrs. Creed Haymond. These windows cost over $1,000 each. Later Governor and Mrs. Stanford placed a memorial window for their son, Leland Stanford, Jr., who died in Rome during their visit in that city.

Rev. G. A. Ottman succeeded Mr. von Herr- lich, and was in turn succeeded by Rev. C. L. Miel. Mr. Miel was very energetic and ag- gressive, and the work was extended under his rectorship. The church on Eighth Street, having been racked by a severe storm, was condemned. The lot was sold, and a lot pur- chased at Fifteenth and J Streets, on which a parish house was erected for temporary use. Later a stone church was erected on the cor- ner of J Street, of which the present rector is Rev. William Hermitage. It is one of the few stone churches in the state, and one of the finest ecclesiastical edifices in the northern part of California. In March, 1897, Mr. Miel started a mission church at Twenty-third and K Streets, which was known as St. Andrew's,

and a few months later Rev. Mr. Johnson was put in charge by Bishop Graves. Later Bishop Moreland purchased a lot on M Street, and St. Andrew's was moved upon it and it became known as Trinity, Rev. George Swan being placed in charge. In 1909 Trinity Pro-Cathe- dral. a fine stone edifice, was erected on the rear of the lot by Bishop Moreland. The Good Samaritan Mission, on Seventh Street, be- tween N and O, was opened, but was closed about a year afterwards. St. Paul's Japanese Mission was established at No. 502 M Street and was afterwards moved to Fifth Street, Bishop Moreland having purchased property there for it.

Christ Church, Episcopal, of Oak Park, is the third church for Sacramento of the juris- diction of Bishop Moreland. Early in Febru- ary. 1908. Rev. Harry Perks, the church's rec- tor, conducted the first service of the church in Red Men's Hall, Magnolia Avenue. Inter- est continued, and in May of the same year the church was organized as "Christ Church, Episcopal." In September the new congrega- tion was accepted by the Diocese of Sacra- mento. In July, 1910, the foundation was laid for the new church. The building has a Pack- ard organ and is furnished with modern pews and kneelers. It was opened for worship September 4, 1910, being part of a plan which, when complete, was to include a larger church, parish house, social hall and rectory.

St. Rose's Church: Rev. Augustine P. An- derson. O. S. D., a native of New Jersey, ar- rived in this city August 7, 1850. He at once began the organization of the Roman Catho- lics, procuring a building on L Street, between Fifth and Sixth, which answered as a tempo- rary chapel until the church could be erected at the corner of Seventh and K Streets. Octo- ber 28, 1850, ex-Governor- Peter H. Burnett executed a deed to Anthony Langlois, in trust for the Roman Catholic Bishop of California, for lot 8, in the block between Seventh and Eighth, and J and K Streets, and August 17, 1867, Governor Burnett deeded lot 7 in the same block to Bishop Alemany. During the terrible epidemic of cholera Father Anderson labored unceasingly, visiting the cholera hos- pital several times daily and seeking out the poor and afflicted in their tents, adminis- tering all the consolation and aid in his power and procuring medical assistance for those un- able to pay for it. His unceasing ardor in his work weakened his system and in his ex- hausted condition, having contracted typhoid fever, he succumbed to it, a victim to his self- sacrificing zeal. dying November 26, 1850. By this time the frame of the new church had been erected and the roof partially completed, but a severe gale arising, the building was blown down and many of the timbers shat-

tered. Rev. Anderson was succeeded by Rev. John Ingoldsby, who completed the church, but it was destroyed in the great fire of No- vember 2, 1852, after which a frame building on Seventh Street and Oak Avenue was used for a church until the completion of the brick basement story of the new church. Rev. John Quinn succeeded Rev. Ingoldsby in April, 1853.

October 18, 1854, the corner-stone of the brick church was laid by Archbishop Alemany, and service was held in the basement on Christmas following. The church was 60 by 100 feet; the basement, nine and one-half feet in the clear, cost $10,500, and the church, which was completed in 1861, cost nearly $50,000. The bell, which was placed in the tower, arrived on July 13, 1859, and weighed 2,079 pounds. The earthquake which shook the state in the winter of 1871-1872 rocked the tower so that the great bell rang. It is now in the tower of St. Francis' Church. In 1861 Rev. Eugene O'Connell was placed in charge of the northern part of the state. He resided in Marysville, as Sacramento was in the San Francisco bishop's jurisdiction.

During the charge of Rev. James S. Cotter in 1866, some improvements were made to the building, amounting to over $15,000. He was assisted first by Rev. M. McGrath and after- wards, in 1868, by Rev. Patrick Scanlan. Fa- ther Cotter, who was a great favorite with all classes, died in this city June 18, 1868. Rev. Thomas Crimmin, another priest here, died also in this city January 20, 1867, a few hours after being stricken with paralysis. Rev. James Cassin was pastor in 1861-1862, assisted by Rev. N. Gallagher. Rev. Thomas Gibney was pastor in 1868-1870. After that time Rev. Patrick Scanlan was rector, assisted by Rev. J. McSweeney, until July, 1881, when he went to San Francisco, being succeeded by Rev. Thomas Grace from Marysville, who was as- sisted by Rev. William Walshe until 1886, and afterwards by Father Leonard Haupts. Fa- ther Grace in 1886 was appointed rector of St. Rose's Pro-Cathedral by Bishop Patrick Man- ogue, the seat of the diocese having in that year been transferred from Marysville to Sac- ramento. When Bishop Manogue came to build the splendid Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in this city, he found that Father Grace had, during his ministry, made a host of friends who became zealous assistants in the work.

The Cathedral, begun in 1886 and dedicated in 1889, is a stately and imposing structure in the later Italian style of architecture. Its dome, rising to a height of 175 feet, its arches, and arched ceiling set in frames of varied frescoes, the harmony of due proportion in dimensions, the storied windows, rare paintings, and the

statues it contains, endear both the structure and its venerable builder to Sacramento citi- zens of all classes. 1ts delicate spire, sur- mounted by a golden cross, that rises to a height of 216 feet, meets one's eye for miles outside the city. Its tower clock and massive dials, with its sonorous chimes, mark the hours as they pass. The building is cruciform, and is 208 feet in length by 114 feet in width, being by far the most spacious church in Cali- fornia, as well as the most elaborate and ornate in design. Bishop Manogue had the consolation of seeing it and his residence com- pleted and financed before he passed away. A year after his death he was succeeded by Father Grace, who was consecrated bishop of this diocese. Bishop Grace was born in Wex- ford, Ireland, in 1841, of Norman lineage, being a descendant of Raymond le Gros, of the twelfth century. His death occurred on De- cember 27, 1921; and on March 17, 1922, the Rt. Rev. P. J. Keane was made bishop of the diocese of Sacramento.

Opposite the episcopal residence at Twelfth and K Streets is the Christian Brothers' Col- lege. The brothers were induced to locate the school here by Father Scanlan in 1876, and many thousands of boys have since passed through their school. Father Scanlan, who died some years ago in San Francisco, was in charge there for many years and had a host of friends in this city.

St. Joseph's Academy, on G Street, con- ducted by the Sisters of Mercy, was estab- lished first in 1857, in a building connected with St. Rose's Church. There is an interest- ing incident connected with the coming of the little band of seven sisters, who came to San Francisco in 1854, with Mother Mary Baptist Russell as Superior, at the invitation of Arch- bishop Alemany. They had made arrange- ments to come on the ill-fated steamer "Arc- tic" of the Collins line, but on their arrival in Liverpool they found, to their great disap- pointment, that there was no room for them, and they were forced to wait for two weeks. Their disappointment was turned to rejoicing later, when the news arrived of the loss of the "Arctic," that they were not on board. They taught school in this city, visited the sick and prisoners, and when the cholera broke out, they nursed the sick fearlessly and loving- ly. They hold a warm place in the hearts of the pioneers for their gentle ministrations, and their deeds should never be forgotten. The convent and school was soon moved from Seventh and K Streets to its present location, the whole block being purchased. The orphan- age carried on for several years by the Sisters was moved to Grass Valley in 1870, and the large and commodious school as carried on at present was erected and incorporated as St.

190

Joseph's Academy in 1875, graduates of which are living all over the state, and the reputation of which ranks high among educational insti- tutions.

Under the guidance of the Sisters of Mercy the church took up the care of homeless chil- dren in 1904, at the Stanford mansion on N and Eighth Streets, which was a gift for that purpose by the late Mrs. Jane Stanford. A school for the inmates is carried on in connec- tion with the home. There are now several Catholic schools in Sacramento, the Sisters of St. Francis carrying on the work of teach- ing in some of them.

When Bishop Manogue was in charge of the diocese he extended an invitation to the Pro- vincial Council of the Sacred Heart Province of St. Louis to establish a parish of the Order of St. Francis of Assisi in this city. Accord- ingly, Rev. Augustine McGlory, O. F. M., was sent here to establish the parish and arrived in Sacramento October 16, 1894. By agreement the new parish was to accommodate both the English- and German-speaking members by preaching in both languages. The northern half-block between K and L., Twenty-fifth and 'Twenty-sixth Streets, was acquired as a site for the several buildings of the new parish, and a small cottage was remodeled for the Fathers. The first services were held in Union Hall. Twentieth and O Streets, and on Febru- ary 7, 1895, the work on the church, school and monastery was begun.

On Palm Sunday, April 7, 1895, the first services were held in the new St. Francis Church, and in the autumn of the same year, on November 5, the St. Francis parochial school was opened by the Sisters of Mercy. The corner-stone of the present church of St. Francis of Assisi was laid by Right Reverend Bishop Grace October 17. 1908. The church, which is a very handsome specimen of the California mission style, was dedicated on Sunday, October 23, 1910, by Bishop Grace. It has a seating capacity of 900, and contains forty-six stained-glass art windows from Inns- bruck, Austria. Rev. Godfrey Hoelters, O. F. M., afterward was rector. At present (1923). the new St. Francis School, a fully reinforced concrete building, is under process of con- struction.

The First Church of Christ in Sacramento (Congregational) was organized in 1849, the first preliminary meeting being held on Sep- tember 16 of that year in the original school- house which stood near the northeast corner of Third and I Streets. The chairman was Rev. J. A. Benton, and Rev. S. V. Blakeslee was secretary. A number of those present at the meeting were Presbyterians, which fact gave rise to a discussion. The question of organizing a Presbyterian church was raised.

but Mr. Benton announced that as he was not a Presbyterian, he had no authority to organ- ize a church of that denomination. They therefore organized a church under the title of the First Christian Church of Sacramento, omitting purposely the word "Congregational" in order to preserve harmony and cooperation. As this absorbed about all the Presbyterian membership in the city, the Presbyterians did not organize a church until 1856.

A confession of faith and a covenant were adopted September 23, 1849, and temporary officers were elected. A manual was adopted early in the following year, and January 6, 1851, the permanent officers of the church were chosen as follows: Rev. J. A. Benton, pastor : James Gallup, J. W. Hinks, John Mc- Kee, Z. W. Davidson, A. C. Sweetser, deacons ; WV. C. Waters, treasurer ; J. C. Zabriskie, clerk. May 5, 1850, an "ecclesiastical society" was formed in connection with the church, when they became able to build a church on the west side of Sixth Street, between I and J. A frame building was erected there and was dedicated on the 6th of October following. It is claimed that the laying of the corner-stone, on September 4, was the first public ceremo- nial of the kind ever held in the state. But the structure erected then was swept away in the great fire of July 13, 1854. The congrega- tion sold the lot for $1,300, and the society proceeded to erect a brick church directly op- posite. The church and society were so pop- ular that they received very substantial aid from the public, both in building the structure and caring for it afterwards. The property was sold for a good price some years ago, and Mrs. Cornelia Fratt, relict of C. E. Fratt, donated to the church a valuable lot, 80 by 80 feet, on the northeast corner of Fifteenth and P Street, where a fine church was erected.

It is a fact worthy of mention that from the organization of this church until 1890, only three pastors were in its service, Revs. J. A. Benton, 1. E. Dwinell and W. C. Merrill. Since that time the pastors have been: J. B. Silcox, 1890-1892: J. B. Koehne, 1892-1894 ; Henry N. Hoyt, 1894-1898; J. B. Silcox, 1898-1900; C. A. Dickinson, 1900-1902: J. A. Chamberlain, 1903- 1904: Henry K. Booth, 1904-1907 ; William H. G. Temple, 1907-1910; Arthur B. Patton, 1910- 1917; Harvey Miller, 1917-1922; Harley H. Gill, 1923 to the present time.

The Sunday school of the church was or- ganized August 26, 1849, thus being the first Sunday school established in this city. The Golden Jubilee of the church was celebrated with impressive services on the 22nd and 23rd of September, 1899. A resolution to incorpo- rate having been adopted, the church was in- corporated on June 20, 1899, under the name of the First Congregational Church of the

City of Sacramento, with William Geary, S. E. Carrington, L. Tozer, C. T. Noyes, D. W. Carmichael, P. R. Watts and A. H. Hawley, trustees. At present the trustees are: Dr. E. H. Pitts, A. R. Tabor, J. J. Jennings, E. F. Peterson, C. H. Cromer, C. H. Bills, and Mrs. Karl Zahn.

Westminster Presbyterian Church: The Presbyterians were the first to hold religious worship in Sacramento, Revs. J. W. Douglas, A. Williams and S. Woodbridge having preached here as early as March and April, 1849. The Presbyterians united at first with the Congregationalists, and no Presbyterian church was organized until 1865. The organ- ization was named the First Presbyterian Church of Sacramento. The church failed to raise the necessary funds for the purchase of Philharmonic Hall for a place of worship, dur- ing the years from 1860 to 1863, and dis- banded. The Sunday school, however, was kept alive by the zealous and energetic efforts of W. S. Hunt. The present church was or- ganized January 21, 1866, under the name Westminster Presbyterian Church, and has since that time enjoyed a period of steady growth. It has a large Sunday school, a Chinese mission school, young people's society and other organizations.

Since its organization the pastors have been : Revs. William E. Baker, P. V. Veeder, A. Fairbairn, N. B. Clink, Joshua Phelps, J. S. McDonald, 1866-1869; Frank L. Nash, 1869- 1872; Charles Schieling, 1872-1874; James S. McKay, 1874-1875 : Henry H. Rice, 1875-1886; J. E. Wheeler, 1886-1890; R. M. Stevenson, 1890-1897; R. J. Johnston, 1897-1901 ; H. C. Shoemaker, 1901-1904; J. T. Wills, D. D .. 1904-1914; William E. Harrison, D. D., 1914 to the present time. For many years the church edifice was at Sixth and L Streets, being built in 1866 at a cost of $18,000, and dedicated March 24, 1867. The building was sold some years ago to the Roman Catholic denomina- tion, and was known as Serra Hall. A new edifice was erected at Fourteenth and K Streets. The church now has a membership of 1,200.

During the various pastorates since 1886, in addition to the Sunday school, various organ- izations have been added to the church, as fol- lows: Chinese Sunday School, Ladies' Mis- sionary Society, Gleaners, Ladies' Mite So- ciety, Christian Endeavor Society, Boys' Bri- gade, Junior Christian Endeavor, Bethel Mis- sion Sunday School, Young Men's Conserva- tory, Loyal Sons, Loyal Daughters, and Home Department. In 1911 Charles M. Campbell, who had loyally given his services as Sunday school superintendent for twenty-three years, removed from the city, and was succeeded by John Stein. The succeeding superintendents

of the Sunday school have been A. B. Cheney, George McDougall, Byron W. Painter, and J. W. Woollett, who is now in charge.

Fremont Park Presbyterian Church : The Westminster Church organized a Sunday school in July, 1868, and maintained it under the name of the Bethel Sunday School. It was on Fourteenth Street, between O and P, and in March, 1882, it grew into a church, becom- ing self-sustaining and free from debt in a few years. The church was instituted by Rev. Dr. Thomas Fraser of San Francisco, assisted by Revs. H. H. Rice and Nelson Slater, and Andrew Aitken of Sacramento. Rev. A. H. Croco acted as pastor until July, 1883, when he resigned, and Rev. George R. Bird was called. Mr. Bird had been pastor of the Ham- ilton Square Presbyterian Church in San Fran- cisco, having previous to that had charge of the First Presbyterian Church in Seattle, Wash. Until some fifteen years ago the church was known as the Fourteenth Street Presby- terian Church, as it was located on that street. About twelve years ago a new church edifice was erected at Fifteenth and O Streets, and it is now known as the Fremont Park Presby- terian Church.

The First Methodist Episcopal Church : This church was familiarly known as the "Sixth Street Methodist Church." It was first organized under another local name October 28, 1848, at Dr. Miller's store, by Rev. Isaac Owen, and seventy-two persons enrolled their names. Mr. Owen was familiarly known as "Father Owen," and was the first missionary sent by his church to California. He and his wife and baby suffered many hardships in crossing the plains, and he was nearly drowned by the carelessness of a drunken crew in capsizing a schooner in Suisun Bay. He managed to escape with the clothes he wore, which were rusty from crossing the plains, and came to Sacramento, preaching here October 23, 1849, under an oak at the corner of Third and L Streets, and organized a church. A man of great energy, he had great plans for upbuilding the church in the state. One of his dreams was a university, and it was largely through his aid and energy that the University of the Pacific was after- wards built, being the first of its kind char- tered in California. As material for a church 24 by 36 feet in size had been shipped for him from Baltimore by the conference, and had come by way of the Horn, the church was soon finished and ready for use. It was plain, but as it was the first church building erected in this city, it was looked on as an elegant house of worship. Erected on a fine lot presented by General Sutter, at the southeast corner of Seventh and L Streets, fronting on Seventh

192

HISTORY OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY

Street, it was known as the Seventh Street Methodist Church, and the society took the same name. Mr. Owen soon had a comfort- able parsonage. In the flood of 1850 his church was carried from its foundations and his house rendered untentantable, so he re- moved to San Francisco.

Later in the year he was succeeded by Rev. M. C. Briggs, who enlarged the church to ac- commodate the rapidly growing congregation. It was known as the Baltimore California Chapel. Mr. Briggs served this church three terms, being the only pastor who did so.

The corner-stone of a new brick edifice, 50 by 80 feet, which cost $18,000, was laid June 22, 1852. Rev. S. D. Simonds making the ad- dress. Revs. J. A. Benton. Congregationalist ; (). C. Wheeler, Baptist: and W. R. Gober, M. E. Church South, participated. It was to have been dedicated on Sunday, November 3, but a terrible fire broke out in the city on Saturday, destroying $5.000,000 worth of prop- erty, and the new church was swept away with the rest. "The society was undaunted, however, and hurriedly erected a cheap build- ing, in which they worshiped until they could erect a frame church on the site of the Balti- more House. This was sold to the Jewish congregation in January, 1859, for about $3.500. The society worshiped for a while in the hall over the old postoffice. until they erected the present church on Sixth Street. It is 52 by 100 feet and cost about $25,000. It was finished in 1874, when it was raised to a higher grade, and the tower and steeple built, at a cost of about $15,000.

The pastors of this church were: Isaac Owen, 1849-1850: Royal B. Stratton, 185]- 1853; Warren Oliver and Elijah Merchant. 1853-1855; N. P. Heath, 1855: George S. Phil- lips, 1855-1857: J. W. Ross, 1857-1859; J. D. Blain, 1859-1861: Jesse T. Peck, 1861-1863 : M. C. Briggs, 1863-1865; J. W. Ross, 1865- 1868: J. H. Wythe, 1868-1870: H. B. Heacock, 1870-1873; A. M. Hough, 1873-1875; M. C. Briggs, 1875-1878: R. Bentley, 1878-1881 : T. S. Dunn, 1881-1884: E. R. Dille, 1884-1887 ; Ar- nold T. Needham. 1887-1891; T. C. George, 1891-1893; C. V. Anthony, 1894: M. D. Buck. 1894-1897; J. S. Carroll, 1897-1901; W. K. Beans, 1901-1903: W. W. Case, 1903-1906; J. H. N. Williams, 1906-1907; Frank Kline Baker. 1907-1913; Irving B. Bristol. 1913-1917 ; Fred A. Keast, 1917-1918. In 1918 the con- gregation was consolidated with that of the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, with Carl M. Warner. D. D., as pastor. The build- ing was still used under his pastorate until 1920, when it passed into control of the Latin- American Mission of the Methodist Church

and Rev. Ralph Rader, the present pastor, took charge.

'The church is now an All-Nations Church, having been turned over for such worship and religious work, under the guiding hand of Methodism. Under the name "American Cen- ter," the church is campaign headquarters for much practical work among the needy of all classes throughout the city. The work is car- ried on by a general committee of pastors and laymen, and a campaign committee under the direction of a chairman. Judge Charles O. Busick, and two division leaders, Harry Mad- dox and William V. Cowan, assisted by twelve captains. The American Center is a church of practical Christianity, in the down-town neigh- borhood of Sacramento. that endeavors to meet the needs of the down-town section of the city. It is under the direction of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church, but is interdenomina- tional in its work. The American Center preaches the gospel, feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, teaches the English language to foreigners, conducts Americanization classes, secures positions for men and women, fur- nishes free hot shower baths, preaches the gospel on the street, cares for destitute fam- ilies, conducts a Sunday school. takes care of the unemployed during the winter months. allowing men to sleep at the church, and dur- ing the winter is open twenty-four hours a day, and seven days a week. During the past two years the American Center has provided 40,000 meals for hungry men, provided sleep- ing accommodations for 35.000 men, provided 10,000 garments of wearing apparel for men. women and children, secured jobs for 300 men and women, free of charge, and given Christ- mas dinners to 2.200 men. During this time 200 men have been converted, and religious services have been conducted in five languages. Religious services are conducted regularly in English and Spanish. A Day Nursery was maintained during the summer, in which thirty-eight children were cared for, while their mothers worked.
