St. Luke's Church.
Location south side of Pacific Street between Polk and Van Ness Avenue. Rev. JOHN B. GRAY, Rec- tor ; residence 933 Sacramento Street.
The first services of the Protestant Episcopal Church at Spring Valley, which led to the organiza- tion of this church, was held by the Rev. Giles Easton, Assistant Rector of Grace Church, in Spring Valley School-house on Broadway between Larkin and Polk, on the fourth of March, 1866.
A Snuday 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. Andrews' Church.
On the twelfth of August, 1866, Rev. D. J. Lee took charge of the Mission, and changed the place of holding 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 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 Mission- ary 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.
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 congregation has been recently completed, and will accommodate nearly three hundred persons. Ser- vices are held every Sabbath at eleven o'clock A.M. and half-past seven o'clock P.M. Sunday School meets at one o'clock P.M.

This parish was organized in the early part of the fall of 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 the 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-supporting parish will be es- tablished there.
A Sunday School has been organized, and is in a very flourishing condition. The parish is incorpo- rated, and also admitted into communion with the Diocesan Convention.

During the following summer the effort was revived, and in September, 1863, a Board of Trustees was incorpo- rated, a lot purchased at an expense of $1,000, plans and specifications prepared by S. H. Williams, and the contract for building the church edifice let to J. W. Duncan. On the fourth of September, 1864, the building was completed and dedicated.
