The parish, of which this is the Church, was insti- tuted in February, 1858. The inhabitants are in- debted mainly to the liberality of a few individuals and to the Rev. John Chittenden for the first intro- duction of this church service into the neighborhood. The Rev. J. Cameron, ordained in April, 1800, offic- iated as Curate-the Kev.

Street and Van Ness Avenue. Rev. E. S. PEAKE, | own church. This organization grew out of the Rector; residence, 1812 Clay Street.

The first services of the Protestant Episcopal Church at Spring Valley which led to the organiza- tion of this church, were held by the Rev. Giles East- on, Assistant Rector of Grace Church, in Spring Val- ley School House, on Broadway, between Larkin and Polk, on the 4th of March, 1866.

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

On the 12th of August, 1866, Rev. D. J. Lee took charge of the Mission, and changed the place of hold- ing service to Pixley Hall, on the corner of Pacific and Polk streets. Shortly after, a society of ladios, 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 Rector- ship December 1, 1870.

In March, 1868, the ladies of the Martha Society were requested to furnish a name, by which this church is now known, and under which the parish was incorporated. The building occupied by the con- gregation was completed September 26, 1808, and con- secrated April 13, 1873, and will accommodate nearly three hundred persons. The church is supported by offerings and monthly subscriptions, and seats are free. Services are held every Sunday at eleven o'clock A.M. and at half past seven o'clock P.M.

St. Peter's Church.

Location, northeast corner of Stockton and Filbert streets. Rev. W. L. GITHENS, Rector; residence, 932 Pacific Street.

This parish was organized in July, 1867, through the zealous efforts of several earnest laymen, with a view to supplying the large 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 new church building recently erected on leased ground, at a cost of $4,500, accommodates three hun- dred, the sittings being free.

Rev. CHRISTIAN HVISTENDAHL, Pastor; residence, 874 Mission Street.

Present place of worship, St. Paul's German Evan- gelical Lutheran Church, on the south side of Mis- sion Street, between Fifth and Sixth.

This church was organized on the 20th of October, 1870, by its present Pastor, who came to San Francis- co under the auspices of the Norwegian Lutheran Synod of America. Having labored here for six weeks he went to the East, but returned in April, 1871, in accordance with a unanimous call from the congregation 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. The project of starting a Scandi- navian Church has, during the last twelve years been tried three or four times without success, and these failures have, more than anything else, hindered the present work. The church has, however, been self- supporting from the start, and its friends are confi- dent that they will have at no distant time their own place of worship. There is at present in the Build- ing Fund about $5,000. A Ladies' Society to promote the interests of the church has lately been organized.

METHODIST.

First Methodist Episcopal Church.

Location, west side of Powell Street, between Wash- ington and Jackson. Rev. J. H. WYTHE, Pastor ; residence, 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 begin- ning 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 exquisite taste, without extravagance.
