ing came from Savannah, Ga., a member of that denomination, and the house he owned on Canal street was repeatedly given to holding services by that denomina- tion. Rev. James S. Raynoldson preached in Paulding's house in 1817. Rev. Mr. Davis baptized the first candidate of the denomination in the Mississippi River, in front of the custom house in 1820. Rev. William Rondeau came from England in 1826 and baptized two candidates the next year. Mr. Paulding, in 1833, erected a building on St. Charles street, where Soule's Commercial College stands to-day, dedicating the second story to church purposes. Here Rev. Pharcellus Church, who came from New York, preached during 1834-1835. Rev. Russell Holman came as a missionary in 1842, and for three years he preached in the upper story of No. 66 Julia street. December 28, 1843, the first formal organization of that order was effected. The names of the incorporators of the first church appearing in the legislative act are W. H. Rondeau, Nathaniel J. Pegram, J. P. Todd, J. S. Davis, E. Everett, R. Holman, J. Judsu, W. M. Perkins, W. Page, C. Fuselie, J. S. Marlton and W. M. Hinton.

The First Congregational Church was chartered in 1833. Its incorporators were Samuel Mccutchen, Jacob Baldwin, James McReynolds, Richard Davidson, Henry Babcock, Peter Laidlaw, J. D. Bein, Stephen Henderson, Charles Lee, P. S. Newton, William C. Bowers, Henry Carlton, James H. Leverich, William G. Hewes, Isaac G. Preston, Benjamin Story, Henry Lockett, J. W. Lee, Joshua Baldwin, and Abijah Fisk. This church was in a manner an offshoot of the First Presbyterian Church. When Rev. Clapp, whose connection with that church has already been narrated, divorced himself from a part of the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church by the exposition of certain views which were deemed unorthodox, the list of followers named above clung to him. The famous Judah Touro who had purchased the church at the corner of St. Charles and Gravier dedicated the build- ing to the use of this congregation for ninety-nine years. It was actually occupied until 1851 when it was burned. Mr. Touro presented the congregation with an- other church on St. Charles street and Rev. Clapp occupied this pulpit for about five years. In 1855 the congregation completed a church of its own at the corner of St. Charles and Julia street. It is known as the Church of the Messiah. Rev. Dr. Clapp was succceded by the following line of ministers in turn: Rev. E. C. Bolles, C. H. Thomas, W. G. Eliot, W. F. Stowe, W. J. Lloyd, George H. Deere, C. A. Allen and Walter C. Pierce, who is to-day the eloquent and popular minister of this church.
There are four colored churches of this persuasion, the Central Congregational Church, corner of South Liberty and Gasquet, established 1877; The Howard Con- gregational Church, No. 1015 Spain, established 1869; the Howard Church, Bar- tholomew near Dauphine; the Morris Brown Congregational, North Villere, be- tween St. Anthony and Bourbon, established 1869; the Morris Brown Chapel, 1819 N. Villere.

The pastors have been Henry Hiestand, John William Mueller, J. E. Schneider, Christian Schreuck, E. Berger, D. Kacss-

The First Christian Church was chartered 1845. As early as 1839, Rev.

This was sold later and in 1866 the congregation rented a small church on Sixth street, between Laurel and Annunciation streets. It was not until 1877 that the congregation purchased the property at the corner of Melpomene and Calliope streets and in 1896 the present church was com- pleted, having been begun the year before.
