Now, while this is an accounting of the building of the church, it does not adequately describe the hardships, privations, and true dedi- cation of the saints who made up the congregation. We are told that the church treasurer went out among the members each Saturday and collected enough to pay the workmen for the week's labor. One member sold 40 acres of Champaign County farm land to raise money to further the construction and many others who were unable to give money donated weeks of manual labor instead. These were bleak years, pioneering years. In 1960 we can scarcely conceive of the sacri- fice necessary for just 137 men and women to build a $23,000 church.
We are indebted to the Reverend A. J. Lyenberger for his history of the church written in comprehensive and interesting style in No- vember of 1876. He wrote in closing: "This church has been trained to be, and in fact, has become, one of the most liberal in the state.
The real history can never be written. Unwritten is the inner history of self-denial, struggles and prayers."
After the building was finished, there remained many additions and furnishings to make it complete. In 1874 the ladies of the church raised $1,200 to purchase an organ. In the next few years the sanctu- ary was frescoed and the pulpit-choir loft area improved. The old white church, built in 1854, was moved from the church site and used by a Miss Chapin for a Women's Seminary until the University of Illinois admitted women to the student body. It was then moved to become a residence.
September 12, 1882, marked the signing of an agreement between First Church and various contractors to complete the towers and purchase and erect a suitable bell in the north tower. Money was subscribed, the work completed on schedule and the new church bell rang in the year of 1883.
July 15, 1885 saw another forward step taken. We acquired the Conklin property adjacent to the church building. The purpose: future erection of a parsonage or manse. The members responded to the needs set forth, and construction was begun in 1900, and by Sep- tember 1901 the completed manse at 311 West Hill Street was ready for occupancy by the Reverend C. N. Wilder.
From 1900 onward, steady progress in all fields was apparent. Membership rose for the first time above 500 and the annual church budget in 1909 was $9,400.00 of which $2,600 was spent for benevo- lences. During this period, in a letter dated June 1903, the Reverend E. W. Clippinger, noted to a friend that the University of Illinois had grown to 3000 students. It was his considered opinion, he wrote, that a regular or at least a student pastor should be appointed to minister to the needs of the college age population on a full time basis. To back up his convictions, he appeared before the Synod of Illinois and made this recommendation, and 1911 saw the establish- ment of his dream in the form of McKinley Foundation on the campus. The new church was named to honor Senator W. B. McKin- ley, whose gift of $30,000 made the project possible.
During Church School Session in First Church on Sunday morning, March 8, 1909, disaster struck. A fire was caused, it is thought, by sparks falling on the wooden shingle roof. After the children were evacuated, members of the church and the fire department succeeded in subduing the blaze but not until it had completely destroyed one section of the roof, and the combination of fire, water and smoke had ruined the organ, the choir loft, the carpeting and many pews and benches. There was also substantial damage to windows and frames. Characteristic of First Church members, scarcely had the smoke and debris been cleared away than estimates were ready not only to repair the damage but to improve the plant. The wing which now houses the parlor was erected, restoration of the sanctuary was completed, a new and improved organ was installed, and through one of the gifts of Senator Mckinley, the elevator was placed in operation. The final cost was in excess of $22,000.00.
With these improvements completed, a rapid expansion of members took place. During 1917, through the efforts of the Reverend C. R. Adams and lay evangelists, one hundred new names were added to the swelling church roll ... not until the 1940's would this be repeated. Champaign began to take on the appearance it has today ... that of a highly transient community. The mid 20's were years of serenity and progress ... years in which good works of men and their Maker were much in evidence.
With the close of the 1920 decade, also came the Great Depression. By mid-year 1931 confidence was at low. ebb. Breadlines, unemploy- ment and lack of money were the subjects of discussion of the day. Any expenditure, necessary or otherwise, took considerable fortitude. It was at this time, under the leadership of the Reverend Adolph Bohn, the congregation recognized an opportunity coincident with the government public works program to effect some much needed repairs and add church school space. An area had been long needed to serve as classroom space on Sunday, and to be utilized as a general meeting area for Men's Club, Women's Association and other large gather- ings. Plans were drawn, foundations strengthened, the basement area fully excavated, and from this came our kitchen area and what is now Centennial Hall. Since 1933 thousands of young people have learned the meaning of the gospel in this room and many delightful evenings of fellowship and learning have paid tribute to the fortitude, fore- sight and sacrifice of these recent-day church leaders.
The 1940's brought war, shortages and depletions. The aftermath saw one of the greatest periods of growth of First Presbyterian Church of Champaign. Dr. A. Ray Cartlidge and the officers of the church felt that the 100th Anniversary of that eventful day in 1850 should be the time to restore, replace and add to the structure those changes necessary to gird us for the challenges of the years ahead. The Centennial Committee was formed and plans were set forth. For the first time, a congregation wide drive was inaugurated, with a goal of $100,000 set and achieved. This was to pay for repairs, reno- vations, and a much needed new manse. By 1950 the congregation numbered 1400 and church school rolls were 500. Among the features of renovation were an enlarged choir loft, intensive redecoration of the sanctuary, and modernization of the basement area which was renamed Centennial Hall in honor of the occasion.
The most recent missionary effort came in the period 1956-7 when for the fifth time in its history our church saw a need, formed study committees, helped to finance, and send out her own members to aid in the beginnings of a new Presbyterian Church. This is now called Westminster Presbyterian Church, and is located in the newly de- veloped southwestern section of our city.
Then, in 1958, as it seems to come to each new generation of Pres- byterians, the challenge came to us. The Church School which had grown from most humble beginnings, outgrew the church building, even with double sessions. Noise, overcrowding and inadequate facil- ities made proper teaching an almost impossible task.
The church had acquired the two pieces of property south of the site on Church Street in 1957 through foresight and a series of fortuitous circumstances. Now the question was whether to build immediately or wait for more favorable times. An economic recession was in progress. When one looks back over the history of this church it seems that decisions which involve large scale financing always manifested themselves when economic times were less than booming. 1957-8 was certainly no exception and many long and arduous sessions were the lot of the many boards and committees which debated the problem under the guidance of the Reverend Malcolm Nygren. To seek pledges for the long dreamed of Christian Education Building and meet with only limited success might be the worst kind of fail- ure, for the Long Range Plan Committee did not want to burden future generations of First Church families with an insurmountable mortgage. Estimates of costs for the building needed ranged from $250,000 to $500,000.
Late one afternoon, after long and earnest truth seeking, it was decided that the time to build was now. Happily, the congregation, at a special meeting overwhelmingly agreed.
Assistance of a fund raising organization was sought and found, and during the spring of 1958, the drive began. Once underway, the entire congregation responded vigorously. At a series of dinners, we heard about the plans, the hopes and the dreams of First Church. As workers were recruited and the pledging began, confidence began to mount. Who can forget the first few report dinners when group after group reported pledges which exceeded our wildest expectations? As one looked around, we could not help but notice that this was in truth a church-wide project. In some capacity or another, every family in First Church was represented. The support was completely whole- hearted. By the end of May 1958, the drive was complete, the fund oversubscribed, and the new Christian Education Building that we dedicate today was assured.
Throughout its history, when the challenge has been thrown down, the members of First Church, with God's help, have responded. In this narrative appear but a few of the names of the 5,500 members associated with the church since its founding in 1850. All have con- tributed-some in great degree and some in lesser ways, but all in faith and loyalty.
Our generation of church people humbly joins ranks with those before us, who through their dedication and sacrifice have worshipped God at this place. We pray that in the future, we and those who follow us will continue in the footsteps of those whose example of fortitude, courage and foresight helped to build God's house to its present state of being. The work which they began is not finished, nor will it be soon. Every new generation will face new challenges at First Church, for the church must always change to meet the needs of our changing community.
