The next protracted effort to do a permanent work, was made January 1st, 1881, by the call of Dr. S. T. Dodd, for- merly of Virginia, who gathered the willing workers into the Y. M. C. A. hall, regularly every week for work and worship, until the 30th day of June, 1881, when the enrollment of fif- ty-six members had been completed and an organization was effected by the pastor, with Hon. Willard Davis as Moderator and W. D. Stone as Secretary.

Adjoining the audito- rium is the spacious lecture room, which, by lowering the large stained glass windows between, can be used to increase the seating capacity of the church.
