The charitable institutions established during the past eight years may be noticed briefly.


The Buffalo Deaconess Home, located at 2978 Main street, was in- corporated May 26, 1890, by the Genesee Conference of the M. E. Church, for the purpose of ministering to the poor, visiting the sick, caring for the orphans, and affording such other help as comes within the true significance of Christianity.


The Charity Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, situated on Broadway, corner of Michigan street, was incorporated April 19, 1890, and is free

to the poor. It is supported by the county and by voluntary contribu- tions.


The Christian Homestead Association was incorporated March 14, 1891, being founded by a gift of $10,000, and aims not to dispense charity, but to help the dependent to become independent, to inspire both men and women to a higher life, and to teach the children to avoid the ways of sin and improvidence. Its field of operation is in the lower part of the city below the Terrace and along the wharves and docks. In 1891 a double five-story brick building on Lloyd street was purchased for $10,000, and fitted up with sleeping apartments, reading-room, restaurant, etc. Everything is provided at the lowest possible cost. In 1894 the average number of lodgers per night was 130 and the number of meals served daily 400. The association also maintains a Rescue Mission on Canal street which was started in June, 1891.


The Children's Hospital of Buffalo was incorporated in May, 1892, with Mrs. George A. Trescott as president; Mrs. George Howard Lewis, first vice-president; Mrs. William Hamlin, second vice-presi- dent; Mrs. Bernard Bartow, secretary; Miss Martha T. Williams, treas- urer. The hospital was opened in September, 1892, at 219 Bryant street, the building being purchased by Mrs. Gibson T. and Martha T. Will- iams for the purpose. In 1896 the hospital bought the adjoining house for a training school for nurses. The hospital affords accommodations for fifty patients, has an endowment of $25,000, and is free to all chil- dren under fourteen years of age, except contagious cases.


Westminster House is one of the the two institutions in Buffalo founded upon the principle that teaching by example is the true solu- tion of the problem of charitable beneficence. The other is Welcome Hall. Westminster House is a social settlement, the first inaugurated in the city, and was started by members and officers of Westminster church under an organization known as the Westminster Club, which was formed April 16, 1894, by about forty men. A dwelling was rented at 421 Monroe street and opened on September 17 of that year to the men, women and children of the neighborhood. Two smaller cottages in the rear were soon leased and in 1895 a house was built ex- clusively for the residents' at 424 Adams street. The institution is directed and supported by the Westminster Club, and maintains a kindergarten, a reading-room and circulating library, a diet kitchen. a

kitchen garden, a sewing school, a penny provident savings fund, a relief department, and various clubs for men, women and children. By example and continual work in the midst of the poor and neglected whom it is designed to help it aims to be a center of the best social life and interests of the people. The approximate number of families reached is 475.


Welcome Hall is chiefly designed as a mission on a plan involving actual and continued residence, yet also teaches the principle of higher social life by precept and example. It is supported by the First Pres- byterian church, and had its inception at a meeting of the Woman's Circle of that church in May, 1894. The Hall was organized on No. vember 1, and on the 21st it was opened in a two-story house at 307 Seneca street. J. J. Albright and others endowed the institution to the amount of $40,000, and in 1897 handsome brick buildings were erected on the same street near South Cedar. A Sunday school, an evening gospel service, mothers' meetings, a sewing school, a free kindergarten, a penny savings bank, and various clubs for men, women and children are maintained.


The Society for Deaconess Work of Buffalo was organized by mem- bers of the different German Protestant churches of the city on the 26th of February, 1895, and incorporated February 13, 1896. There is a board of fifteen directors composed of five clergymen, five business men and five women; not more than three can belong to one church and not more than five to one denomination. Its objects are to train young Christian women for all kinds of charitable work. On October 23, 1895, the house at 27 Goodrich street was opened with two deacon. esses from Cincinnati as teachers; a hospital containing eleven beds was opened at the same time for the treatment of all diseases except those of a chronic or contagious nature. In March, 1896, a lot on Kingsley street, near Humboldt Parkway, was purchased and a home, and hos- pital and home for the aged erected thereon at a cost of about $45,000. This was opened November 22, 1896, and has about fifty patients and forty-six old men and women as inmates.


In the spring of 1895 the Buffalo Industrial Association was organ- ized by a number of charitably disposed persons for the purpose of in- troducing what is known as the "Detroit plan" of assisting the poor and unemployed. This plan, as is well understood, has for its object . the assisting of persons with families, who are in indigent circum- stances and unable to support themselves, by permitting and encour-

aging them to cultivate vacant land within the city limits, gratuitously offered by charitable persons for that purpose. The association had the land plowed and harrowed and allotted three bushels of potatoes to each lot. Much of the planting and cultivation is done by women. The plan has proved of great benefit during the past three seasons and promises much from a practical standpoint for the future.


The Wayfare is designed as a temporary home for women and was opened May 1, 1895, at 133 Court street. Its aim is to provide food and shelter for any destitute woman, the fact that she is in distress be- ing in itself a sufficient claim for attention. During the first year 1,233 lodgings and 2,722 meals were furnished. It is a worthy public charity governed entirely by women.


The German Hospital Association was organized in May, 1896, and incorporated in May, 1897, with Charles North, president; M. J. Chemnitz, secretary; Jacob Lang, treasurer; it now has over 100 mem- bers. In December, 1896, a free dispensary was opened, and in Au- gust, 1897, the association purchased a lot on Jefferson street near Best, where the erection of a hospital building was soon afterward com- menced. This will accommodate about 100 patients and will cost $30,- 000. The hospital and dispensary are free to all without regard to re- ligion or nationality.


The Lutheran Church Home for Aged and Infirm, located at 390 Walden avenue, was opened June 2, 1896. Its name indicates its char- acter.


Besides the foregoing institutions there are numerous charitable and benevolent societies, many of them connected directly or indirectly with churches, which need not be mentioned here. All of them, how- ever, are contributing in some degree and by some method to the cause as a whole, but space will not permit detailed notices.


In previous chapters reference has been made to the larger church denominations in Buffalo; at this point the reader's attention is called to a few other religious societies which have exerted a powerful influ- ence in the city's moral and general advancement, particularly from the fact that their members have always been leaders in thought and action. The First Unitarian Congregational society was organized in 1831, and at its first legal meeting there were present N. P. Sprague. S. N. Callender and John W. Beals. Rev. William Steill Brown, the first pastor, was succeeded in 1834 by Rev. A. C. Patterson, under

whom the Sunday School was founded. In 1836 Rev. G. W. Hosmer, D. D., assumed the pastorate, and for many years was one of Buffalo's foremost ministers and most prominent citizens. Following him came, successively, Rev. Frederick Frothingham (1867-74), Rev. M. K. Schermerhorn (1874-76), Rev. George W. Cutler and Rev. Thomas R. Slicer. For a time the society worshiped in the old Court House on Washington street; its first edifice stood on the corner of Franklin and Eagle streets, the corner stone being laid August 13, 1833. This church was enlarged in 1845 and damaged by fire in 1859, but was im- mediately refurnished. The corner stone of the present handsome edifice, known as the Church of Our Father, on Delaware avenue near Huron street, was laid October 16, 1879, and on October 13, 1880, the structure was dedicated free from debt. The Unitarian church in Buf- falo, though composed of but one principal body,' has always stood for the highest moral, social and intellectual advancement, and its mem- bers, both men and women, have represented the best elements of citizenship. In thought, in charitable action, and in public spirit and patriotism it has wielded a potent influence in all the affairs of city and home.


The First Universalist church was organized December 6, 1831, with Benjamin Caryl, Marvin Webster, Moses Baker, Ebenezer Day, James Durick and A. C. Moore as trustees. Rev. George W. Montgomery was first pastor. Their first edifice' was erected on the east side of Washington street, a little north of Swan, at a cost of $10,000. The corner stone of a new church was laid August 2, 1864, and the struc- ture was consecrated as the Church of the Messiah on the 8th of July, 1866. This edifice cost about $70,000. It was burned October 29, 1870, and by September 24 of that year the church ' was again ready for consecration. It is situated on the corner of North and Mariner streets. The Friends began holding meetings in Buffalo in 1865, and in 1869 erected their only meeting house in the city on Allen street. The Church of Christ (Disciples) was organized with thirty members February 20, 1870, and in 1870-72 erected an edifice on the corner of Cottage and Maryland streets. The first pastor was Rev. F. M. Kirby.


1 The First Unitarian Church (Church of Our Father) has a branch in the city styled Parkside Unitarian Society, of which Rev. John H. Applebee is pastor.


" This building is now occupied by the Salvation Army, which was organized in Buffalo in 1886.


' The First Universalist church has two branches in the city, viz: Grace Church at the corner of Chenango and Ferry streets, and Florence Mission, held in Joiner's Hall on Riley street.

There are now three bodies of this denomination in Buffalo having edifices at the following places: Richmond avenue corner of Bryant street, Jefferson near East Utica street, and West Forest avenue corner of Danforth street. There is also the First Church of Christ (Scien- tist) on Jersey street near Prospect avenue. The First Congregational church was organized in May, 1880, with about ninety members, and purchased and enlarged the old Baptist church on Niagara Square. The first pastor, Rev. George B. Stevens, was succeeded in 1883 by Rev. Frank S. Fitch. The society built a church on the corner of Bryant street and Elmwood avenue in 1889, and on May 1 of that year Mrs. W. G. Bancroft purchased the Niagara Square property and on December 24 presented it to the New York Home Missionary So- ciety. It is now occupied by the People's Congregational church, which was organized July 8, 1890, with fifty members, their first and only pastor being Rev. Harry D. Sheldon. Pilgrim Congregational church, an offshoot of the First church, erected its present edifice on the corner of Richmond avenue and Breckenridge street about 1892; its first pastor was Rev. A. L. Smalley. There are two other churches of this faith in the city, namely, Plymouth church on Military Road near Grote street and Fitch Memorial, organized by Rev. R. E. An- drew, on the corner of Clinton and Fenton streets. The United Brethren of Christ church was organized in 1888. .
