The Metropolitan Baptist Church is the result of s union of the Tabernacle Church, formerly worship- ping ou Post street, between Hyde and Larkin, and the Second Church, formerly worshipping on Russ Street, near Columbia Square. Each of these churches, about January 1st, 1875, called to their pastorate Rev. I. S. Kalloch, of Leavenworth, Kansas. He visited them in February, 1875, and the result of his visit was the consolidation of the two churches and a united call to Dr. Kalloch to become their Pastor, which he accepted, and entered upon his labors March 1st, 1875.

The church, mainly through the Christian liberal- ity and enterprise of one of its members, Deacon Isaac Lankershim, has since built the Metropolitan Temple, at a cost of $150,000.

CONGREGATIONAL.

First Congregational Church.

Location, southeast corner of Post and Mason streets. Rev. A. L. Stone, D. D., Pastor ; residence, 617 Bush street.

This church was organized July 29, 1849, when Thomas Douglas and Frederick S. Hawley were chosen Deacons, and inducted into office on the following Sun- day by Rev. T. D. Huut, assisted by Rev. A. Williams.

The Society met in the school house on the Plaza, until it was required for other purposes, when the members were deprived of a regular place of meeting for sev- eral months. As early as practicable, however, efforts were made for the erection of a suitable house of worship, which resulted in the building of a commo- dious frame structure, twenty-five by fifty feet, on the corner of Jackson and Virginia streets, which was dedicated to the worship of God February 10, 1850. Rev. T. D. Hunt was chosen Pastor, and installed June 26, 1850, who, in this connection, it is proper to state, was the first Protestant elergyman, located as such, in the State, having arrived in San Francisco as early as October 29, 1848. ]Ie was immediately invited by the citizens, in a meeting called for the purpose, to act as their chaplain for one year, commencing November 1, 1848, in which capacity he was laboring at the time of the organization of this church. The congregation increased so greatly as to require a larger house. Ac- cordingly measures were adopted, in the Summer of 1852, for the erection of the substantial brick edifice on the southwest corner of California and Dupont streets, which was dedicated on the tenth of July, 1853. The second pastor, .Rev. E. S. Lacy, was in- stalled July 6, 1856, and dismissed October 3, 1865. In the Spring of 1870, the society deemed it essential to seek a different location and larger accommodations. Measures were taken which resulted in the erection of the present large and commodious house of worship. The dimensions are ninety-two feet frontage on Post street by a depth of one hundred and thirty-five on Mason street, and is ninety feet to the apex of the roof. The seating accommodations on ordinary oc- casions are for about seventeen hundred persons, but it will comfortably receive two thousand. The base- ment is divided into lecture-room, class room, infant class room, ladies' room, library, and lumber room, which are provided with all the necessary lavatories and conveniences. The basement rooms are so ar- ranged that they can all be thrown into one apartment during exercises or for social purposes. It was dedi- cated on the nineteenth day of May, 1872. The entire cost of this beautiful structure (including the site and furnishing) somewhat exceeds $150,000. The third and present pastor, Rev. A. L. Stone, D. D., was installed June 14, 1866

Here public worship was established in the Autumn of 1861, and the Rev. John Kimball engaged to take charge of the enter- prise. He began his very diligent and successful labors in November, 1861, and continued in them un- til January, 1863, when he resigned and went to the East to do service in the armies of his country. In December, 1862, the church and society invited the Rev. J. A. Benton, of Sacramento, to become their Pastor. After a faithful pastorate of six years he re-

Third Congregational Church.

Location, south side of Fifteenth Street, near Mis- sion. Rev. E. F. Walker, Acting Pastor; residence, 34 Erie street. Number of members, one hundred and seventy.

This church had its origin in the Fall of 1862, when several persons, heads of families, residing in the vicinity of the Mission Dolores, met to consult to- gether in regard to the practicability of organizing a church in the neighborhood.

After much discussion, extending through several informal meetings, it was decided to extend an invi- tation to the Rev. E. G. Beckwith, then pursuing his theological studies at Andover, Mass., to visit this city, and, upon the organization of a Congregational Church at the Mission, to become its Pastor. The invitation was accepted, and Mr. Beckwith, with his family, arrived on Sunday, the twenty-sixth day of October, 1862, and on the next Sabbath he preached his first sermon to his future church and society. The following Sabbath he organized a Sabbath School.

On January 7, 1863, the organization of the church was completed, and on the 8th of February following, the installation services took place in the old church edifice on First Avenue.

After five years of faithful labor, Mr. Beckwith re- signed the pastorate, much to the regret of his con- gregation. From October, 1867, to April, 1869, the church was without a settled Pastor, the Rev. Selah Merrill supplying its pulpit from December, 1867, to June, 1868. In August, 1868, the Rev. William C. Pond was invited to fill the pulpit for the period of six months, at the expiration of which time he ac- cepted a call from the congregation to become their settled Pastor, and continued in charge until the Fall of 1872. Since that time the Rev. Edward P. Baker and Rev E. F. Walker have officiated as acting Pastors.

From November 2, 1862, until October 30, 1864, the old Methodist church edifice on First Avenue, which had become private property, was occupied by the church and society as a place of worship. The first services in the present chapel were held on the 6th day of No- vember, 1864. The total cost of lot, building, and furniture was $14,000.

Services are held every Sabbath at eleven o'clock A. M. and half past seven o'clock P. M. Prayer Meet- ing every Wednesday evening.

It had its beginning in Divine Service, celebrated by the Rev. Flavel S. Mines and the Rev. Augustus Fitch, Presbyters of the Diocese of New York, on the eighth day of July, 1849.

On the twenty-second of the same month, several citizens resolved to form themselves into a congrega- tion, to be known hereafter as the Holy Trinity Church.

On the twenty-uinth of July, wardens and vestry- men were elected, and on the sixth of August the Rev. Mr. Mines was elected Rector.

A fifty-vara lot on the southwest corner of Jackson and Powell streets was purchased August 26, and & church edifice erected thereon, which was occupied the following November. In December, 1851, a lot on the north side of Pine street, between Montgomery and Kearny streets, was purchased for the sumu of $4,000, and a wooden edifice, forty by ninety fect, cov- ered with corrugated iron, crected thercon. The first services in this church were held January 25, 1852. On the twenty-seventh of February of the same year the name of the corporation was changed from the " Church of the Holy Trinity," to "Trinity Church." The Rev. Flavel S. Mines died August 5, 1852, greatly lamented by all his parishioners .. He was succeeded by the Rev. C. B. Wyatt, who commenced his official duties February 26, 1853. Ou Sunday, the twenty- ninth of January, 1854, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Kip, D.D., landed in San Francisco, and preached in Trinity Church both morning and evening. Ou the ninth of April, 1854, being the Sunday before Easter, the rite of confirmation was administered in Trinity Church. This was the first Episcopal act ever performed on the shores of the Pacific. Eighteen persons came forward to receive the rite-one of them being a native of China. In May, 1856, Dr. Wyatt returned to New York on a visit, and the Rev. S. Chipman Thrall, D.D., was placed in charge of the church until March, 1857, when Mr. Wyatt resigned, and Dr. Thrall was elected his successor, who officiated until November, 1862, when he resigned, and the Rev. C. B. Wyatt was again elected Rector.

It was consecrated to divine service on the twenty-second of September, 1867. During the construction of the new church the congregation worshiped in St. John's Hall, Masonie Temple. In the spring of 1869 Mr. Wyatt resigned, and was suc- ceeded by the Rev. Elias Birdsall, who officiated until May, 1870, when he also resigned. The Rev. C. W. Turner then took charge of the parish, and offici- ated until January, 1871. He was succeeded by the Rev. Theodore B. Lyman, who officiated until July 1. 1873, when he resigned, and the Rev. G. D.

A chapel was next built toward the close of 1849, at the corner of Powell and John streets, which was first opened for Divine services December 30, 1849. This was the first Grace Church. It was sixty feet long by twenty feet wide, and cost $8,000. On the 28th of April, 1850. Grace Church was formally organized. E. Bryant and D. S. Turner were elected Wardens, and Dr. Ver Mehr chosen Rector. The first vestry meeting was held on May 20, 1850.
