St. John's Church.


Location, northeast corner Fifteenth and Valencia streets. Rev. Alfred Todhunter, Rector; residence, southeast corner Fifteenth and Valencia.


This church was established in November, 1857, the Rev. John Chittenden, President of the San Frau- cisco College, then a lay reader, licensed by the Bishop of the Diocese, officiating as its Minister. The par- ish, of which this is the church, was instituted in February, 1858. The inhabitants are indebted main- ly to the liberality of a few individuals and the Rev. Johu Chittenden for the first introduction of this church service into the neighborhood. The Rev. J. Cameron, ordained in April, 1800, officiated as Curate, the llev. John Chittenden being his Rector. By the energy of the Curate, assisted by his brother clergy- men, he established the Episcopal Church perina- nently in this vicinity. The Rev. T. W. Brotherton took charge on the first of August, 1861, and was suc- cecded by Rev. Elias Birdsall, July 1, 1872, who offict- ated until 1876, when the present Rector took charge. The first of August, 1862, a church edifice was com- menced on a lot presented by the ladies of the con- gregation to the Vestry, which was finished in No- vember of the same year, and is capable of accommo- dating three hundred and fifty persons. The parson- age adjoining the church, was built during the in- cumbency of the present Rector, and was completed September, 1877. Services are held every Sunday at eleven eleven o'clock A.

St. Luke's Church.


Location, south side of Pacific street between Polk street and Van Ness Avenue. Rev. S. Gregory Lines, Rector ; residence, 1222 Pine street.


The first services of the Protestant Episcopal Church at Spring Valley, which led to the organization of this church, were held by the Rev. Giles Easton, Assistant Rector of Grace Church, in Spring Valley School House, on Broadway street, between Larkin and Polk, on the fourth of March, 1866.


A Sunday School was shortly after organized, with Mr. John Wigmore as Superintendeut, and Mr. Edward Barry as Librarian. The Mission was at that time called St. Andrew's Church.


On the twelfth of August, 1866, Rev. D. J. Lee took charge of the Mission, and changed the place of hold- ing service to Pixley Hall, ou the corner of Pacific and Polk streets. Shortly after, a society of ladies, under the name of Martha Society, was formed for the purpose of raising a fund to purchase a lot and to erect a church building thereon. About this time the name of the Mission was changed to the Church of the Nativity.


The Rev. Dr. Lee having resigned in October, 1867, Rev F. O. Barstow was appointed as missionary to the station. After the resignation of Mr. Barstow, the vestry elected the Rev. J. B. Gray, Rector, who entered upon his duties the first Sunday in September, 1869. The Rev. E. S. Peake succeeded to the Rectorship December 1, 1870, and officiated until June, 1878, when he was succeeded by the present Rector.


In March, 1868, the ladies of the Martha Society having been requested to furnish a name for the Church suggested St. Luke's, under which the parish was incorporated. The building now occupied by the congregation was completed September 26, 1868, and consecrated April 13, 1873. It was enlarged, and a Guild room added, December, 1878. The church will now accommodate over three hundred persons.

Location, northeast corner of Stockton and Filbert streets. Rev. M. C. Lightner, Rector ; residence, cor- ner of Eighteenth and Guerrero.


This parish was organized in July, 1867, through the zealous efforts of several earnest laymen, with a view to supplying the farge population resident in that portion of the city known as North Beach, with the ministrations of the church. On many accounts a difficult field of labor, it is hoped that in time,


through faith and earnest missionary zeal, a self-sup- porting parish will be established. The parish is in- corporated, and also admitted into communion with the Diocesan Convention.


The church building was erected at a cost of $4,500, and accommodates three hundred, the sittings being free.

St. Stephen's Church.


Location, north side of Fulton street, between Web- ster and Fillmore. Rev. Edgar J. Lion, Rector; resi- dence, 723 Grove street.


This church was organized early in the year 1879, upon the basis of the congregation, which had been gathered by the mission services, con- ducted in the locality during the preceding four years. The church building now occupied is on the rear of the lot owned by the parish, it being the intention of the Vestry to build a suitable church edifice within the next few years in front of the pres- ent structure, which will then be converted into and used exclusively as a Parish School.

All Saints' Episcopal Church.


Location, Grand Central Hall, corner of Market and Sixth streets. Rev. W. Fred. Morrison, Rector; resi- dence, 1429% Mission street.


This church was organized November 1, 1878, and owes its origin to a desire for service upon the Cath- edral or choral order among many of our Episcopal people, as well as in some measure to supply a local want. Although as yet under only a temporary or- ganization, the membership numbers one hundred and fifty, the congregation averages over two hun- dred, and the Sunday School has an attendance of sixty. The Sunday School meets at ten o'clock A.M. Church services at eleven A.M. and half past seven P.M. The music in the church service is performed by a surpliced choir of boys. Connected with the church is a very efficient guild divided into four de- partments: social, musical, visiting, and boys club ; it meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month.

A half fifty-vara lot has been secured for the Mis- sion, and a neat and commodious edifice erected.

This church was organized on the twentieth of Oc- tober, 1870, by the Rev. Christian Hvistendahl, who came to San Francisco under the auspices of the Nor- wegian Lutheran Synod of America, and was the first Scandinavian Church on the Pacific Coast. Having labored hero for six weeks, he went to the East; but returned in April, 1871, in accord- ance with a unanimons call from the congre- gation to become their Pastor. In June, 1872, he visited the Scandinavian countries, principally for the sake of his health, and returned in October to resume his labors. About the beginning of the year 1879 the society purchased the property on Sherman street for $10,500, and have remodelled the building for church purposes, the additional expenditure being about $4,000. The progress of the church has been here- tofore mnuch retarded by the three or four unsuccess- ful attempts at organization made in the past twelve years, and the work of raising funds for the purchase of the present property was accompanied with much difficulty. This accomplished, the future of the church is now assured, and its prospects are encourag- ing. A Ladies' Society to promote the interests of the church and for the relief of poor Scandinavians has lately been organized. Services in the Scandinavian language Sundays and holidays at half-past ten o'clock, A. M. The seats are always frec, and strangers are welcome. Its membership is now one hundred and twenty-five.

First Methodist Episcopal Church.


Location, west side of Powell street, between Wash- ington and Jackson. Rev. R. L. Harford, Pastor ; resi- dence, 1008 Washington street.


This is the oldest Protestant church organization in San Francisco or in California, several families having been formed into a society here by Rev. W. Roberts, in 1846. The timbers and shingles of a church building were hewn in Oregon, and were in course of erection upon the present site when Rev. W. Taylor arrived, as Missionary, in 1849. From this beginning the M. E. Church in California has grown, until it now numbers over seven thousand members.


The present beautiful edifice was erected in 1871, at a cost of $25,000. Its spire is one of the most grace- ful in the city, and all its adornments are in exquis- ite taste, without extravagance.


Services every Sabbath at eleven o'clock A.M., and half-past seven o'clock P.M. Sabbath School at half- past twelve o'clock P.M. Prayer Meeting on Wednes. day evenings.
