CHURCHES. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
REV. C. MONJEAU, PASTOR.
Was organized in the basement story of Joseph C. Miller's house, on Sixth avenue, March 1st, 1857, by Rev. James Gilpat- rick, missionary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and Rev. Edward Seagraves, who presided. The constituent mem- bers were: Jesse Stone, Joseph C. Miller, Sarah E. Miller, Christo- pher Fitzgerald, Charles A. Bliss and Wm. Jordon. The Baptists, though in an unorganized condition, had not been without stated religious services, and had enjoyed the labors of Rev. J. Gilpatrick from the spring of '55, up to this time. Afterwards the labors were divided between him and Rev. Mr. Fish, of Auburn, the latter con- tinuing his services up to June 18, '59, when Rev. C. C. Hutchin- son was called to the pastorate. At this time the church consisted of thirteen members. He continued his labors one year, the A. B. H. M. Board not seeing fit to reappoint him, or assist in his support, and the church, being too feeble to do it, was compelled to dispense with his valuable services. During his administration he secured half of the means to erect a hall of worship, during an eastern tour, made in the memorable year of the drought-1860. During that
25

year eleven were added to the church. On March 30, 1862, Rev. E. Alward received an appointment from the Mission Board, dividing his time between this church and the one in Burlingame, until 1865, when it was wholly devoted to the Topeka church. He served four years and two months. In that time forty-seven were added to the membership. The church was then without a pastor until October 21st, 1866, though they were never without the stated preaching of the Word. At this time Rev. Isaac Sawyer, D. D., accepted a call to the pastorate, a portion of his salary being furn- ished by the Home Mission Society. He remained one year and seven months, and then resigned his charge without any apparent cause. During his short pastorate fifty-nine were gathered into the fold. August 1st, 1869, Rev. H. P. Fitch, of Port Burville, Canada, became the pastor. During his pastorate the church edifice, the foundation of which was laid under the administration of his prede- cessor, was so far completed that they could occupy the basement. His services continued one year. Forty-three were added to the church during his stay. In the interval between his resignation and the call of Rev. E. O. Taylor, which took place April 12, 1871, the pulpit was supplied by Rev. J. L. Moore, D.D., of Piqua, O. Rev. E. O. Taylor was a young man of energy, full of life and fresh from his collegiate course. During his pastorate of two years and ten months one hundred and fifty-six were added to the church. Eighty- three of these were by baptism. A paper in the interest of the Baptist cause was published by him, and a Mission Sabbath School organized, and a chapel enclosed and partially finished in which it was held. His resignation was accepted January 30th, 1874. On July 6th, 1874, the pastorate of the church was urged upon Rev. C. Monjeau. He accepted, too, after being apprised of the great calamity that had come upon us as a State, and a church, by the incursion of God's army, in the shape of countless hosts of grass- hoppers, which ate up every green thing. Rev. C. Monjeau is still the pastor of this church.
During his pastorate of over five years, some 118 members have been added, all the debts paid, the edifice richly finished, and the grounds graded, fenced in and ornamented with evergreens and other choice things, as may now be seen at the corner of Ninth and Jackson streets.

Barratt organized the church April 4, 1869, with eleven members. It has received since that time 290 persons, and has a membership at present of more than 200.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. REV. L. BLAKESLEY, PASTOR.
Is situated on the corner of Seventh and Harrison streets, and was organized in 1855 in "Old Constitution Hall." Rev. Lewis Bodwell was the first pastor of the church, beginning his ministra- tions in October, 1856, and continuing until his resignation in the spring of 1860. In October, 1860, Rev. P. McVicar was called to the pastorate, in which he remained until July, 1866. The church edifice, the first erected in Topeka, was completed and dedicated during the first year of Mr. McVicar's pastorate. The House of Representatives of the first State Legislature held its sessions in the building. Upon Mr. McVicar's resignation in 1866, Rev. Lewis Bodwell again became pastor of the church until his rsignation in in the summer of 1869, when Rev. J. G. Merrill was called to that position. After remaining one year he was appointed to the Gen-

During the nine years of his pastorate, over 300 have been received into membership. A new church edifice is soon to be erected on their beautiful site. The Monday Club, or Young Peo- ples' Association, besides maintaining weekly devotional services, have undertaken the purchase of a $2,500 Hook & Hasting's organ for the church, by means of a course of public entertainments.

Pres- ton had charge of the parish three years, during which time a church edifice was erected. Rev. J. N. Lee became Rector in June, 1865, and continued until June, 1869, when he resigned and was succeeded by Rev. Charles Stewart, who severed his connection with the parish in March, 1871, when Rev. John Bakewell, D. D., was

called to the rectorship, which he held until June, 1875, when im- pairad health induced him to resign. About this time the church edifice was so extensively remodeled. enlarged and improved as to constitute it virtually a new church. Rev. Henry H. Loring pre- sided over the parish from January, 1876, until 1879; and the pres- ent incumbent, Rev. J. F. Walker, commenced his labors here with nearly two hundred communicants. The church is now known as Grace Episcopal Cathedral.
