The first church building was ocenpied on Sunday, De- cember 31, of the same year. It was a frame 24x35 feet, and stood upon Sixth street on the corner of the alley between Hampshire and Vermont streets. An edifice of stone, on the corner of Seventh and Ilampshire streets, was erected and occupied in 1853. This was en- larged in 1868 by the addition of transepts and chancel. The chapel in the rear was built about the year 1880. The Rev. John Sellwood was the first rector in October, 1837. After a year he was succeeded by the Rev.

Alexander Burgess was consecrated as its first Bishop in 1878. St. John's church was then deeded to the Bishop as the Cathe- dral Church of the Diocese. The parish or- ganization was changed accordingly and the pastor of the congregation was made the Dean of the Cathedral. The Revs. Robert Ritchie and C. C. Leman served as such. Bishop Bur- gess died October 8, 1901, and was succeeded by the Rt. Rev. Frederick W. Taylor, D. D., who died April 26, 1903. The present Bishop is the Rt. Rev. M. Edward Fawcett, Ph. D.,

SALEM EVANGELICAL CHURCH.

In April, 1848, Rev. Christoph Jung com- menced to hold divine services at No. 725 Maine street, Quincy, Ill. Soon a number of his hearers were willing to form a congrega- tion, which they called "The Salem German Evangelieal Congregation of Quiney, Adams County, Illinois." They considered themselves as a part of the Evangelical Church. as the same is represented by the German Evangelical Synod of North America.

The members of the young Salem congrega- tion were soon allowed to hold their religions meetings in the oldl Congregational Church. northwest corner of Fifth and Jersey streets. The late Governor Wood donated the north- east corner lot of Ninth and State streets for the purpose of building thereon the necessary house of worship. During the summer of 1848 a brick building, 36 feet wide and 18 feet long, was erected on this lot ; also a small parsonage. The total cost of the material for these build- ings was abont $3,000; the labor was done gratuitously by members of the congregation. The dedication of the new church occurred Thanksgiving Day, 1848.

The records of the Salem church show that the first baptismal took place on the ninth of April. 1848, the candidate being John Henry Proett. The first marriage occurred on April 24. 1848, when John Henry Meyer and Miss Johanna Burgdorf were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony. The first funeral was held on May 2. 1848, over the body of Mrs. Caroline F. Schnelle. nee Reitemeyer. deceased, wife of Gottlieb D. Schnelle.

The first officers of the Salem church were Charles Michel, president ; George Gutaphels. secretary : John Schoenemann, treasurer: Wil- liam Schoettger. Frank Kehlenbrink, George Ludwig, trustees.

In the spring of 1852 the first school build- ing was ereeted. In June. 1852, Rev. Chris- toph Jung was obliged to resign on account of sickness contracted during the cholera epi- demic. His successor in the ministry was Rev. S. Liese. Mr. A. Heinekamp became teacher of the parochial school in September, 1852. Four years later the lot adjoining the east line of the church property was bonght. In Octo- ber. 1857. gas instead of coal oil was used for illuminating purposes. On the 16th of June. 1858. a Sunday school was organized. In May, 1860, Rev. S. Liese left the congregation and took with him all but forty-seven of the vot- ing members of the congregation, when Rev. Simon Knhlenhoelter commenced his pastoral work, which he pursued for nearly twenty-two years up to his death. In May. 1861, the con-

gregation joined the Evangelical Synod of North America. In 1862 a new parsonage was built. An addition to the church became nec- essary in 1863 for the accommodation of the church goers. In 1875 Greenmount Cemetery opened its gates for burial of deceased mem- bers. During the years 1876 and 1877 the present commodious church building, with a seating capacity of more than 1,200, was erected for the sum of $50.000.

On New Year's day, 1882, after a short siek- ness. Rev. S. Kuhlenhoelter died. Four months later Rev. Louis Von Rague became pastor of Salem church. In 1885 the parsonage was en- larged and a steam heating plant was put in the school house.

Early in 1893 Rev. L. Von Rague resigned and in April Rev. Julius C. Kramer, the present pastor, was elected. During this year the par- sonage was renovated and State street was graded and paved. In May, 1894, a member donated the beautiful tower clock with illum- inated dials at a cost of over $1,500. During the same year the church building and the school house were repaired and painted and the interior of the church was freseoed and beantified at the expense of the Young Ladies' Society. In the year 1895 oeeurred the sewer- ing of the whole property, and the separation of the stable and outhouses. In July, 1896, the new organ. costing $6,000, gift of the good la- dies, was dedicated. Over 4,000 souls are min- istered to from Salem church.

ST. JACOBI EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH.

Angust 10, 1851, in the old school building on Fifth street, between York and Kentucky, was the date and place of the beginning of St. Jacobi church, whose formal organization fol- lowed soon afterward, and in the same year was the beginning of the parochial school. The first church building, which still stands, was erected at Seventh and Jersey streets. In 1866 the present church at Eighth and Washington streets was erected at a cost of about $15,000. The various buildings and realty of the church now represent a value of abont $50.000. St. Jacobi church is notable for the few changes in pastors. The Rev. August Schmieding, the first pastor, served from 1851 till 1875. when he resigned and was succeeded by the Rev. Wm. Hallerberg In 1904 Mr. llallerberg. owing to advanced age and infirmity. resigned the first pastorate, on which the congregation elected his son. Rev. Wm. Hallerberg, Jr., to the position, retaining the father as the as- sistant. The church now ministers to 2.200 souls and has 1,300 communicants and 275

THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF ST. JOHN.

This is by far the oldest German Protestant church in Quiney, reaching back as far as 1837. It is located at No. 325 South Seventh street. The first pastor was the Rev. Mr. Hun- holz, who appears to have been here prior to 1837. gathering people to form a congregation that was to be German and Protestant. The second pastor was the Rev. Johann Gumbull, who organized the congregation in 1837 and erected the first church building in 1838. The first roll of contributing members in 1838 com- prised 102 genuinely German names. About January, 1840, the Rev. Carl Ludwig Daubert became pastor, but served only till the fall of 1841. The succeeding pastors have been the Revs. Conrad Drude, 1841-42; Wilhelm Baner- meister. 1843-45; Christoph Jung. 1845-48; Friederich Reiss, some months: Conral Kuhl. 1848-50; I. N.

Schal- ler, the seventeenth pastor of St. John's church, and who is the present pastor. took charge November 23. 1901. The church has abont 400 communicants. and ministers to about 800 souls.

FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST SCIENTIST. OF QUINCY, ILL.

A little band known as Quincy Society of Christian Scientists, which was organized June 30. 1889. and held weekly meetings in a pri- vate house, met by appointment, September 28. 1891, for the purpose of organizing a church. The church was duly organized Sep- tember 28, 1891, and incorporated under the State Law of Illinois as "Quincy Church of Christ Scientist," and is a branch of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ. Scientist. in Boston, Mass. Martha I. Lambert. Georgia Bugbee and John Wood, Jr., were elected trustees, eighteen persons signing their names as charter members. Jannary 4. 1896. by vote of its members, this name was changed to "First Church of Christ Scientist" of Quin-

church organized and has maintained a Sunday school. In March, 1900, the church opened a Reading Room, in compliance with a by-law of the manual of the Mother church, where au- thorized Christian Science literature may be read or purchased if desired. This room is open daily to the public, except Sunday.

October 16, 1891, Mrs. Mary B. Hinckley was elected pastor and served in this capacity until October, 1892, when she resigned. and Mrs. Martha 1. Lambert was appointed to conduct the services. In 1895 Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy ordained the Bible and "Science and Ilealth with Key to the Scriptures," pastor of the denomination. Hereafter the services were to be conducted by two persons known as First and Second Readers. The Christian Sci- ence Quarterly contains the Lesson-Sermons. which are read at the Sunday services in all the Christian Science churches. These lessons present citations from the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." The First Reader vondnets the principal part of the Sunday services, and the Wednesday evening meetings and reads the correlative texts in "Science and Health with Key to the Serip- tures." The Second Reader reads the Bible texts. The readings from the Scripture pre- cede the reading from Science and Ilealth. Martha I. Lambert was elected as First Reader, and John Wood, Jr., as Second Reader for one year, and were re-elected for seven consecutive years. Then Mr. Wood declined re-election, and Cicero Hoskins was elected Second Reader. The latter served two years in this capacity. In August, 1901. a eall came from Mrs. Eddy to all Christian Science churches to eleet new Readers every three years. At this time both Readers resigned, and Mr. Hopkins was ap- pointed to fill the unexpired term of the First Reader, and Miss Carrie Somerville as Second Reader. At the annual meeting in October both were elected for three years and are the present Readers. The services of this church were first held in a private house, then in Sons of Veterans' Ilall on Maine street : from here they moved to the Newcomb building, corner of 4th and Maine streets, thence to the south- east corner of Eighth and Hampshire streets. In October. 1904, they moved to the Hebrew Temple, the present place of worship.

THE LUTHER MEMORIAL CHURCH.

The Luther Memorial Church of Quincy, Ill., was organized on July 19. 1891, in a build- ing near the corner of Eighth and Maine streets, known as "the oldl police station." There were fifty charter members. The so- viety was organized to supply what many felt

to be a much needed addition to the religious forces of the city of Quiney, namely, a Enth- eran Church, using the English language.

Within two years the congregation pur- chased the lot at the corner of Twelfth and Jersey streets and began the erection of its present beautiful edifice, a large, stone church, admirably equipped and costing, with the lot, about $28.000. The church was completed and fully occupied in the spring of 1895, though the vongregation began to use the chapel, which was first completed, about a year earlier.

During the fourteen years of its history the church has had but three pastors -- Rev. D. A. Shettler (1891-1896), Rev. Il. A. Ott (1896- 1900), and Rev. Edward P. Schueler, present inenmbent, 1905. The communieant member- ship of the church has grown until it now num- bers 350.

The present church officers are: Ellers, George MI. Lemley, E. M. Thomason, Joseph Harvey : Deacons, C. W. Breitweiser, J. L. Pipe, Val. J. Kiem, W. H. Purpus. Edward Hopke and John Schmiedeskamp.

The church maintains an interesting and prosperous Sunday school, with an enrollment of 280 scholars. The pastor is the superinten- dent. and the other officers are: II. HI. Grimm, secretary ; Albert Huseman, assistant secre- tary: Miss Agnes Cormeny, treasurer; and Miss Bertha Heidbreder, pianist.

The school is organized into twenty-two «lasses, and is manned by a capable corps of teachers, the primary department being in charge of Mrs. C. W. Breitweiser.

Other organizations are The Ladies' Social Union, the Luther League, the Forget-me-not Society and the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society.

A little monthly parish paper, the "Moni- tor," is published by the pastor, and supplies a medium for keeping the members and friends of the church informed with regard to the life and work of the congregation.

Though one of the youngest religions organ- izations of Quiney, the Luther Memorial Church shows results which fully justify the wisdom of its institution and the expectation of a fu- ture career of great usefulness and snecess.
