EPISCOPAL.
Trinity Church.
Location, northeast corner of Post and Powell streets. Rev. Hiram W. Beers, Rector ; residence, 734 Post street. Rev. C. N. Spalding and the Rev. E. B. Spalding, Assistants.
This is the oldest parish of the Protestant Episcopal Church on the Pacific Coast.
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-ninth 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 a 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 sum of $4,000, and a wooden edifice, forty by ninety feet, cov- ered with corrugated iron, erect: d thereon. 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. On 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. On 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, 1855, 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 resigne I, 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. In November, 1863, a fifty-vara lot, on the corner of Powell aud Post streets, was purchased for the sum of $25,000, and subsequently an adjoining lot on the east, at an additional cost of $5,000. The lot and building on Pine street was sold in Sep- tember, 1866, for $70,000, and during the same month the corner stone of the present edifice was laid. 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, Masonic Temple.

Grace Church.
Location, southeast corner of California and Stock- ton streets. Rev. William H. Platt, Rector; resid- ence, 1407 Jones street.
This church was organized in 1849, the statistics of which may be summed up as follows : The first Rec- tor of the church was Dr. J. L. Ver Mehr, who preached his first sermon in California at the house of Mr. Merrill. in this city, September 10, 1849. 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. In February, 1851, the contract was made to build the former Grace Church on Powell Street, which was finished that Summer. Dr. Ver Mehr preached the first sermon in this edifice. Bishop Kip arrived in San Francisco January 29, 1854, and on the twenty-fifth day of Feb- ruary following assumed the Rectorship, at which time Dr. Ver Mehr resigned. The Bishop continued to officiate until Palm Sunday, April 5, 1857, when F. C. Ewer was ordained, and on the next Sunday he preached his first sermon. On the fourteenth of April, Mr. Ewer was elected to be Assistant Minister, and on the twentieth of the same month he took charge of the parish, the Bishop having departed for the Atlantic States. The Bishop having returned and resigned the Rectorship, Mr. Ewer was elected Rector of the church, December 15, 1857, and retained that position until April, 1861, when he resigned. At the earnest solicitation of the Vestry, Bishop Kip again became Rector, and served as such until October, 1864. Rev. H. Goodwin being then Assistant Minis- ter, continued as such, when in September, 1866, he was elected Rector, and on the first of July, 1867, re- signed. The Rev. James S. Bush was then elected Rector ; he entered upon his duties in December fol- lowing, and officiated until the Fall of 1872, when he resigned, and was succeeded by the Rev. Charles G. Williamson, who officiated until June, 1873. The present Rector entered upon the discharge of his duties November, 1873. Soon after, he resigned and went to Louisville, Ky., but at the urgent call of the Vestry returned in the Spring of 1874, and has since continued as Rector.
The corner stone of the present church edifice was laid by Bishop Kip in May, 1860. The building is one hundred and thirty-five feet deep, and sixty-two feet wide. Height, from floor to apex of roof, sixty- six feet. The edifice was first opened for public wor-
ship September 28, 1862, and was consecrated on the third day of May, 1868. Cost over $100,000.

This church was established in November, 1857, the Rev. John Chittenden, President of the San Fran- 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. John Chittenden for the first introduction of this church service into the neighborhood. The Rev. J. Cameron, ordained in April, 1860, officiated as Curate the Rev. John Chittenden being his Rector. By the energy of the Curate, assisted by his brother clergy- men, he established the Episcopal Church perma- nently in this vicinity. The Rev. T. W. Brotherton took charge on the first of August, 1861, and was suc- ceeded by Rev. Elias Birdsall, July 1, 1872, who offici- ated until 1876, when the present Rector took charge. The first of August, 1862, a church edifice was com- nienced 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.

A Sunday School was shortly after organized, with Mr. John Wigmore as Superintendent, 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, on 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

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.

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.

St. Peter's Church.
Location, northeast corner of Stockton and Filbert streets. Rev. W. Simonton Cochran, Rector; resi- dence, Commercial Hotel.
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 church building was erected at a cost of $4,500, and accommodates three hundred, the sittings being free.

All Saints' Episcopal Church.
Location, Mechanic's Pavilion, corner of Eighth and Mission streets. Rev.W. Fred. Morrison, Rector; residence, 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.

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.
