The yearly reports were carefully kept by Mrs. S. Budd, Secretary, from 1875 on, but there are no minutes of their weekly meetings, nor reports of election of officers until March 20, 1879, when the "Ladies' Sewing Society, of Trinity M. E. Church, met at nine o'clock in the usual place (which was the primary room of the old church); eight ladies were present; engaged at making aprons and a quilt. It being the first meet- ing of that conference year, we had an election of offic- ers." From March 25, 1880, to June 17, 1880, the society collected from sewing, dues, socials, and a lecture by Dr. Chadwick, a former pastor, $156.18. These were the last minutes kept by Mrs. Budd, she having left the city. Miss Ella Gardner was elected to take her place. On February 3, 1881, Miss Gardner resigned and Mrs. J. H. Dunn was elected secretary.
In the minutes of November 25, 1881, mention is made of the ladies purchasing black calico for the purpose of draping the church in memory of President Garfield.
Under the minutes of February 19, 1882, we find pasted the following clipping from one of our city papers:
A PASTOR SURPRISED.
Rev. William Macafee, pastor of Trinity M. E. Church, was the subject of a very agreeable surprise on Monday night, Febru- ary 6. The matter was arranged in this way: Mr. and Mrs. Mac- afee were invited to spend the evening at Mr. L. T. Rosengarten's, on Sixth Street. At about 8 o'clock a telephone message came to Mr. Rosengarten's, saying that two friends from the country were at the parsonage and desired very much to see Mr. Macafee. The pastor was reluctant to leave, but as a matter of duty, thought it best to go. Imagine his surprise when, on opening his door, the first person to greet him was Mr. Rosengarten, who, with his fam-
127
ily, had taken a short cut and arrived before him. On entering, it was found that the ladies of the Sewing Society, with their hus- bands and the members of the church generally, had taken com- plete possession of the house, up stairs and down, and it was clear that some mischief was. working. As soon as the surprised couple had recovered themselves sufficiently to understand that they were in the camp of their friends, Mr. W. E. Chess, acting for the ladies of the Sewing Society, conducted the pastor and his wife to the parlor, and in a neat and appropriate speech presented them with an elegant silver tea set as an expression of the kind regard in which they were held by the church. The pastor accepted the gift in such words as he could command under the circumstances, for the whole thing was an absolute surprise to them, after which the company repaired to the dinning-room, where a sumptuous supper had been prepared by the ladies, and a most pleasant social time was spent by pastor and people until 10 o'clock. The mem- bers of Trinity are quiet and undemonstrative in their ways, but there are few churches which know better how to make their pas- tor happy, and few which illustrate more fully "how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." This is Mr. Macefee's third year at Trinity, and this is one of the instances where the "three-year limit" will be very unpleasant to pastor and people.
On September 28, 1882, Mr. and Mrs. Macafee made their farewell visit to the society prior to their going to another charge. The society parted with them with sincere regret.
On October 19, 1882, the minutes state that the day was spent in preparing the parsonage for the new pastor, Rev. I. A. Pearce.
The following is a copy of an invitation issued for a supper November 21, 1882:
The Ladies of Trinity M. E. Church will set An Oyster Supper Tuesday evening, Nov. 21, at 7:30 o'clock, And serve lunch Wednesday and Thursdy From 12 to 3 o'clock, At No. 535 Fourth Avenue, Public Library Building. You are cordially invited to attend.
The net receipts were $150.00.
On February 22, 1883, three comforts were made for a pre- siding elder and family of Jeffersonville, Ind.,-sufferers from
128
the flood then raging along the Ohio river. On March Ist, made six comforts for flood sufferers. On March 8th, made four comforts for flood sufferers. Net receipts from musical and literary entertainments on February 16th, and March 9th, were,$46.20.
In the minutes of March 20, 1885, our attention is called to the presentation of a dining table to the society by Brother Pearce, our pastor. It was a much-needed piece of furniture, and highly appreciated, especially so because it was his own handiwork. It is still in use by the ladies and is a pleasant reminder of Mr. and Mrs. Pearce and their genial presence at our Thursday luncheons. It is a relic of the past that we prize and it will continue in service in the new church.
One of our entertainments that was given prominence on account of the excellence of the program and the neat little sum realized, $48.50, was given in the chapel of the old church on April 24, 1885. The program was as follows:
Male Quartette. . Messrs. Rosengarten, Klein, Fink, Kiger. Soloists Misses Carrie Collier and Alice Brown, Mrs. Stutson.
Mr. Rosengarten read Tennyson's "Dream of Fair Women," which was illustrated with tableaux. Ice cream and cake were served.
On November 5, 1885, Mrs. Shannon, wife of our new pastor, joined the society. She was a charming addition to our number. And Brother Shannon was always a most wel- come visitor to our Thursday meetings.
Through Mrs. Speed in 1886 and 1887 our ladies began to be interested in the work of the Woman's Home Missionary Society-one day in each month being given to the work, though there was no organization of the Woman's Home Mis- sionary Society until 1892. While not diverting efforts from their allotted channel, generous donations were made and many stitches were set for this work.
In February, 1887, the Ladies' Sewing Society paid to Mr. A. Gunther $25.00, a subscription to Wesley M. E. Church, which was subscribed at the dedication of their new church.
129
On March 1, 1888, we paid $102.95 to the Treasurer of our own church to help liquidate the church debt.
On October 4, 1888, Mrs. Crook, wife of our new pastor, Rev. Isaac Crook, joined the society. Beginning October 4, 1888, the ladies resolved themselves into a visiting committee to call upon strangers who were attending our services, with the object of inducing them to become members of Trinity. During that conference year 344 visits were made.
Our president, Mrs. Rosengarten, assisted by Dr. and Mrs. Crook, having prepared a written constitution and by-laws for the society, this was read before the society by Dr. Crook, on November 8; and on motion of Mrs. Delia C. Brown, seconded by Mrs. Barr, it was adopted. Section Second is as follows: "The object of the society shall be the promotion of Chris- tian friendship, and to assist in raising funds for the benefit of Trinity M. E. Church."
Some of the entertainments during 1888 and 1889 were:
Lecture by Rev. Isaac Crook. $ 49 25 Lecture by Dr. J. H. Vincent (now Bishop Vincent) 123 50 "Mum Social" 35 00
On Wednesday, April 10, 1889, at the prayer-meeting serv- ice, the ladies, at the request of Dr. Crook, gave a history of the Sewing Society from its beginning, nineteen years before. It was interesting and profitable-several members being added. Among them were the following gentlemen who became honor- ary members: Mr. Otis Hidden, Mr. H. G. Knadler, Mr. Arch- bold, and Mr. Settle.
In May 1890. Mrs. Rosengarten and Mrs. Knadler, as offi- cers of the society, assumed the debt for a new carpet in the Sunday-school room. At the suggestion of Mrs. James C. Dugan, it was decided to "plant nickels" to pay off the debt. Three dollars in nickels were taken from our Sewing Society treasury and distributed to members of the society, and to any one in the Sunday-school or church who was willing to take them and invest in a way to increase them as much as possible. The gathering took place on September 30th, in the chapel. It was very interesting to hear the story of the nickels -- how they grew. The receipts were $94.52.
130
On October 16, 1890, the following invitation was sent to all members of the church and a few of the friends outside, to welcome Dr. Crook on his return from Conference, which was the beginning of his third year.
Reception Will be given by the Ladies of Trinity to Dr. and Mrs. Crook at the parsonage Thursday eve., October 16, 1890. We hope you will be present. 925 Sixth Street. 8 to 11.
The Ladies' Sewing Society furnished the supper. The Young Ladies' Aid furnished the ice cream. The Christian Endeavor sent the invitations. The supper was served up stairs. The reception was a very satisfactory and elegant affair. The house was packed with guests. Mrs. Speed sent in from her country home, autumn leaves, and vines, and many beautiful flowers, which decorated the house beautifully. Dr. and Mrs. Crook were in their happiest mood.
At one of our Thursday meetings in January, 1891, Mrs. Speed furnished the material for several comforts, pillow cases and sheets, which were made by our ladies and given to the "Flower Mission" of our city. On October 29th, a reception was held in honor of Rev. J. W. Turner, our incoming pastor, and his family.
On June 14, 1894, the ladies assumed $100.00 of the expense of repairs on the church. Also paid $23.00 on papering the parsonage.
An interesting lecture in the church by Prof. Fukishema, a Japanese, netted the ladies $16.85, which was one-third of the net receipts. The amount was used on the repairs of the church.
On June 4, 1896, the society enjoyed the annual outing at Mrs. Speed's country home. Every year since June, 1879, (with one or two exceptions when she was too ill) , Mrs. Speed has entertained the society prior to their disbanding for the summer. Dinner is spread on the lawn in the shade of a large
131
thorn tree. This is always an enjoyable occasion. After the feast that day, Brother Turner, our pastor, in choice language spoke of Mrs. Speed's beautiful life; of her Christian work and influence; of her home life, and of the happy times we have enjoyed on these occasions. Mrs. Speed responded in touch- ing words. In the afternoon we decided to have a group pic- ture taken and telephoned for a photographer (Bro. Bunnell) , who came promptly. We were soon arranged, with Mrs. Speed and Mrs. Buckner in the center of the group. We each have a picture-a souvenir that we highly prize. There were twenty-seven present. This was the last meeting at which we had the pleasure of having with us our pastor, Rev. J. W. Turner, and his wife, who had been our president for four years.
At the beginning of Rev. W. B. Collins' pastorate, in 1896, the society paid for repairs and refurnishings for the parsonage $228.25. In June, 1897, we spent one Thursday in work for the German Deaconess Home; made two comforts, pillow cases and sheets. Mrs. Speed furnished the material and the ladies donated their work.
On January 28, 1898, Brother Collins called at our Thurs- day meeting to talk "new church," which met with our hearty co-operation. We pledged ourselves to raise five hundred dol- lars toward the furnishings, but we have succeeded in doing much better than that. We began at once to plan an excur- sion to the "Kentucky River Locks" on June 9th. With the day came a bright morning, and over six hundred people boarded the steamer Columbia. Meals were served on the boat. The receipts of the excursion netted us $160. Mrs. M. A. Carley (affectionately called Mother Carley), of East Orange, N. J., a former member of our Society, whom we loved and have greatly missed, hearing of the new church enterprise, contributed a beautiful silk quilt which added $15 to our fund. We doubly appreciated her donation because it was her own work at the age of eighty-four.
An enterprise that is noteworthy is a "memorial quilt," the contributions to which have brought us the sum of $105. There are thirty-six blocks in the quilt; in the center of each block is a picture of the old church, and around the pictures
132
are written in indelible ink the names of the contributors. There are 864 names on the quilt. Much credit is due Mrs. H. G. Knadler for carrying out the enterprise; to Mrs. J. O. Duncan for having so beautifully written the names; to Mrs. J. M. Coogle for having secured the greatest number of con- tributors and the largest amount of money ; also to Mrs. M. A. Von Behren, Mrs. H. G. Knadler, and Mrs. T. W. Doug- las who did the quilting. The quilt is to be a gift from our society to the German Deaconess' Home of this city.
Another river excursion in June, 1899, added $105 to our fund. And dinner served during the Confederate Reunion, May 31, June 1 and 2, netted us $125.
Our avails for the new church, which includes dues, sew- ing, entertainments, excursions and other enterprises, and do- nations on the memorial window, amount to $1,600. From 1875 to 1900 our receipts, as nearly as can be estimated, have reached $9,398.12, which has been paid into the treasury of the church, or applied to the various church interests direct.
There has been in the hearts of our ladies a strong desire to honor our dear Mrs. Speed whom we love, and who has been our leader and wise counsellor for so many years and is now, at eighty years of age, our honored president, which office she has held during the greater portion of the time since our organization. We have therefore thought it most befitting to place the large window on the south side of the church as a memorial to her and her husband, Mr. Joshua F. Speed, who died in 1882. This enterprise has been a labor of love, and has met with the hearty co-operation of Mr. and Mrs. Speed's friends in and out of the church, which has enabled us to pro- cure from Tiffany, of New York, the beautiful window now in place. Mrs. Speed had no knowledge of our intention until we had the money assured and were ready to give the order. Our present officers are as follows :
Mrs. Fanny Speed-President. Mrs. James C. Dugan-Vice-President. Mrs. James H. Dunn-2d Vice-President. Mrs. T. W. Douglas-Secretary. Mrs. H. G. Knadler-Treasurer. 133
Our membership during the past year is as follows :
Mrs. W. C. Aubrey, Mrs. Gabrielle Buckner, Mrs. E. W. Bent- ley, Mrs. I. C. Brooks, Mrs. W. B. Collins, Mrs. J. M. Coogle, Mrs. J. O. Duncan, Miss Minnie Dunn, Mrs. R. R. Glover, Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Harriet Jones, Mrs. Junius C. Klein, Mrs. E. J. Keane, Mrs. Virginia Victoria Lewis, Mrs. R. H. Lindsey, Mrs. S. T. Moore, Mrs. J. D. McDaniel, Mrs. C. McClelland, Miss Clara Mclaughlin, Mrs. C. W. Morris, Mrs. E. E. Olvey, Mrs. R. W. Rollins, Mrs. S. Shel- ton, Mrs. D. A. Stoll, Miss Nannie Seaman, Mrs. C. Troxler, Mrs. A. M. VonBehren, Mrs. S. Wood, Mrs. W. J. VonBehren, Rev. W. B. Collins, Dr. J. E. Mann.
Many faithful ones of our number have passed on to their reward. Among them are :
Mrs. Sarah P. Dunn, Mrs. Bly, Mrs. Ongley, Mrs. S. Budd, Mrs. Statira Barr, Mrs. W. E. Chess, Mrs. Fuget, Mrs. Hieronymous, Miss Emma Thruston, Mrs. Carr, Mrs. Littell, Mrs. Samuels, Mrs. W. B. Collins, Mrs. Buckner, and Mrs. S. Wood.
The names of the last three are on our roll for this year, and have answered the final summons within the past six months. Mrs. Collins, our pastor's wife, was a patient, love- able, Christian woman, and had endeared herself to all. Mrs. Buckner had not been with us much in late years on account of feebleness incident to old age, but those of us who knew her best can recall her happy, charitable disposition. She was a faithful worker and good cheer at our meetings. Mrs. Wood was one whom we had learned to esteem and love for her intel- ligence and Christian character.
Through all the years since the organization of the society in 1870, there have been marked zeal and industry, and there has been none lacking on the part of the society since we commenced to work for our beautiful new church, now ready for dedication.

MEMORIAL WINDOW. "EASTER MORNING."
136
MEMORIAL WINDOW. "EASTER MORNING."
MRS. JAMES C. DUGAN.
0 N THE south side a beautiful Memorial Window has been placed to keep in perpetual remembrance two lives precious in the history of the Church-Joshua F. Speed and Fanny Henning Speed. The latter has been spared to the Church, we hope for many years, while the former has passed beyond the veil.
It is a three-panel window, the center of which represents a field of lilies. Beyond and in the distance are the hills, beginning to take on the hues of the early dawn, while over all float pearly clouds. Above, in the apex of the panel, is the shadowy dove-not visible to the careless eye-emblem of the Spirit of Peace and Love, bringing a message of peace and rest-" I am the Resurrection and the Life."
From the East to the West came the tidings all glorious, "The Lord, He is risen ! O earth, have no fear !" Let the ages rejoice in the message victorious,
"Behold where He lay ; but thy Lord is not here !" And the white lilies lifted their glorified faces, The footpaths grew purple with violets then, As the morning stars sang through the dawn-lighted spaces, "The Lord, He is risen ! Alleluia ! Amen !"
Under the large panels are the beautiful and comforting words of the Master, " Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you." At the top of the outer panels are the Greek .etters, Alpha and Omega-the beginning and the end. The color scheme is very beautiful, harmonizing with the simplic- ity and purity of the subject. Softly blended pale greens and blues and pearl and opal tints prevail. The side panels and the smaller ones beneath are filled with clouded effects of the prevailing tints. The inscription reads :
TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND AS A MEMORIAL TO MR. AND MRS. SPEED, BY LOVING FRIENDS. 137
The lower left hand panel bears the name of Joshua F. Speed, 1814-1882. On the right, Fanny Henning Speed, 1820-
The window is a good example of the renowned Tiffany Favrile glass in the mosaic system of glass working. It is worthy of study, and one unconsciously enjoys the fine color and luminous light effects, while admiring the work of the artist and artisan.

This organ is a magnificent tribute to Pilcher Bros. of this city. Its structure is imposing, and from the most minute detail to the greatest, the work has been well done. The tone is superb, ranging, as it does, from the sweetest, softest tones obtainable to the thunderous diapason, which fills one with a feeling almost of awe, and yet of ecstacy. It is certainly the crowning feature of the elegant structure which is the pride of every member's heart.
