In addition to the church services a reading-room is main- tained here for such Norwegian sailors and others as may, from time to time, be in the port. Here they are kept from the evil influences that so generally surround that class of people.

Rev. O. Asperhem was the first Pastor, succeeded August, 1880, by the present Pastor, Rev. A. Mortensen.

Our Saviour's (Danish) Evan. Luth. Church, for Brooklyn, New York and vicinity. The Danish Evan. Luth. Mission had its beginning in July, 1872, when the Rev. A. L. J. Sobolm, from Denmark, org. a congregation at Perth Amboy, N. J. His labors, though extended to various places in the States of N. Y., N. J. and Mass., were yet mostly devoted to this Perth Amboy enterprise, and to the Danish emigrants arriving at Castle Garden. In Perth Amboy, a little frame church (St. Stephen's Danish Luth.) was erected; and Mr. S. labored there until May, 1878, when he removed to Wau- paca, Wis., to take charge of the Danish Luth. Church there. He was succeeded at Perth Amboy by Rev. R. Andersen; but as the congregation had mostly gone to the West, the church there was broken up. Mr. Andersen, therefore, turned his attention to Brooklyn, where he held his first mission ser- vice to his countrymen, July 10, 1878, in a house (previously used as a Ger. Bap. Church), No. 137 Twenty-second st., near 3d ave. Sept. 15, he opened a mission in Harmonia Hall, Van Cott avenue, Greenpoint, E. D., preaching also in N. Y. to emigrants and seamen. Subsequently the Greenpoint meetings were held in St. Johannes' Ger. Evan. Luth. Church, in Leonard street, between Greenpoint avenue and Colyer st. In the Spring of 1879, he commenced mission meetings in 22d street, Brooklyn, in a hall called "Augsburg Chapel," occu- pied by the Mission S. S. of the Eng. Luth. St. Matthew's

Church in Amity street. Mr. Andersen went to Denmark in Jan., 1881, returning in May to the care of the " Augsburg Chapel" mission (which was afterwards transferred to the Dutch Ref. denomination in connection with the 12th St. Ref. Church) and the Greenpoint Mission. In 1882, a regular mis- sion was begun in Jersey city, and in the same year the "Augsburg Chapel " enterprise became established in its own building (a two-story brick house), No. 193 Ninth street, the first floor being converted into a neat little church, and the second floor occupied as a parsonage. This new home was dedicated under its present name, on Sunday, Feb., 1883; and at the first confirmation held within its walls, April 15, four persons were confirmed. Two days later the mission was duly org. as a congregation, which was incorporated June 6th, and now numbers about 40 families and some single persons. Its membership extends over New York, Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Hoboken, &c., and its affairs are managed by nine trustees. The church seats 100 persons, and though plainly furnished, possesses (by gift of a friend) a fine altar-piece_etc. There is, also, a prosperous Sunday-school.

This church stands in connection with the vanish Luth. Church, both in Denmark and America, and with the Luth. Church in general. Its work is primarily among the Danish and Swedish churches, and those who remain about the ports of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey city for awhile, before going West.

L

Harrison Ave. Church of the Evangelical Association of North America was org. January 10, 1876, through the labors of Rev. E. Glaesen, Missionary, who preached at first in Winter's Hall in Harrison ave. Messrs. G. A. Sebohner, Philip Stark, Ernest Boehm, F. Boyen and Ulrich Barth were its founders and first trustees. Three lots were secured in Harrison avenue, between Gwinnett and Middleton streets, March 1, 1876; and the erection of the present parsonage com-

menced (cost $3,500), in the second floor of which church- services were held. These accommodations soon proving too small, a church edifice, 90 by 42 feet, frame, in a partly Gothic style, was erected. The corner-stone was laid July 8, 1877, and the church ded. Sept. 19, 1878. It has a seat- ing capacity of 500, and cost about $12,000. The first Pastor, Mr. E. Glaesen, was succeeded by Rev. J. P. Schnatz, May 1, 1879. He remained two years, during which the church prospered; and was followed by Rev. F. Kurtz, the present Pastor; the congregation having increased, in two years, from 120 to 170 members. The church sustains a Sunday- school of over 400 childreu. The services are all in the German language. /

St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Evergreen ave., op. Jefferson, org. 1868. The church is a wooden structure, seating 500 persons, with a parsonage; is worth about $20,000, and is free from debt. Rev. G. A. Schmith, Pastor, from 1868 to March, 1871; Rev. August E.

Mr. FREY, a native of Germany, born in 1844; educated in Basse, Switzerland. He was first located in Ghent, Columbia Co., N. Y., 1868-'71. He is the author of Chrstl. Volks- Bibliothek and Missions Bibliothek, History of the Reforma- tion, also Editor of the Evang. Luth. Mission Blatt for 8 years, and of Vergissmeinnicht.

Evangelical Lutheran Emmanuel Church was founded in January, 1875, by Rev. F. T. Koerner, with twenty members. Services were first held in Tuttle's building; afterwards the church on South Eighth and First streets was purchased. It is a brick structure, 35 by 50 feet, and had been first a Presbyterian and next a Jewish church.

;

The edifice was refitted, and the congregation now numbers six hundred; while the Sunday-school has two hundred and fifty members, and the day school has a hundred pupils. The congregation helps support the German Home for the Destitute and Hospital, at East New York, and Mr. Koerner is a member of the Board of both Institutions. The church belongs to the Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and other States, which includes about a thousand ministers.

German Evangelical Mission Church in Hopkins St .- The first attempt for the gathering of a German mission in the 21st Ward in Brooklyn was made in the year 1868. In Throop ave., between Hopkins and Ellery sts., the English brethren have a Mission Chapel (Sunday-school building) which they offered to the Germans for their services. Mis- sionary Hones was called to the work, but he was not suc- cessful. The second attempt was made on the 5th of July, 1868, when Rev. Henry Loesch was called as a minister; but he had to resign in a short time (Feb. 10, 1870), for want of hearers and success.

On the 15th of July the present Pastor, Rev. John Meury, accepted the call. He is a man of uncommon energy, pow- erful oratorical talent, and high cultivation, together with personal cheerfulness and piety. He went to work with zeal and courage. The meetings and services were attended with growing interest, and soon the locality was too small to hold the hearers. On Jan. 6th, 1871, the session resolved to build a church edifice. In May, 1871, the congregation was incor- porated under its present name. Three lots in Hopkins st., be- tween Throop and Sumner aves., were purchased, and the building commenced. On the 23d of Feb., 1872, the new church was consecrated and occupied. The building is constructed in the most solid manner, thoroughly, of brick, 50 x 85. The spacious main hall has wide galleries all around and can accommodate 14,000 persons. The basement consists

of large lecture-room, and two school-rooms for 160 scholars of the parochial school. The congregation also owns a par- sonage, 20x50; brick building with French roof. The church and parsonage were erected at the cost of $40,800. The con- gregation numbers at the present time about 675 members. The Sunday-school is regularly attended by 700-800 children. The parochial school, with a German and an English teacher, has 180 scholars now. The church is connected with the Presbytery of Brooklyn; is in a flourishing condition, and fully self-sustaining.

The first public services were held Aug. 17, in Classical Hall, Washington st. Rev. David Hatch Barlow was installed Pastor Sept. 17, 1834. He was a graduate of Harvard; "a preacher and poet too, of no ordinary gifts. Able, cultured and graceful, he won sincere respect for his talents, as also affectionate esteem for his devotion to his parishioners." Ill health compelled him to resign in July, 1837. He was succeeded by Rev. Frederick West Holland, from April 1, 1838, to April 1, 1842; who also was a graduate of Harvard and of Cambridge Divinity School, "and by excellent gifts, intellectual attainments, earnest piety and great energy, was well fitted for his work in life." Meanwhile, through some differences which had arisen, a Second Unitarian Society was formed Dec. 2, 1840, by twenty-two persons, in the Brooklyn Lyceum. Rev. F. A. Farley was installed Pastor of the new society Aug. 1, 1841 ; and it was incorporated Nov. 1, 1841, with these Trustees: Wm. H. Cary, Chas. Woodward, Thos. A. Morrison, Geo. Collins, Ben. Blossom, Wm. K. Tucker, L. W. Thomas, Joshua Atkins and Joseph L. Brigham. Mar. 22, 1842, the two churches were united under Dr. Farley as Pastor and worshiped in the Hall of the Brooklyn Institute until April 2, 1844. The Trustees of the United First Unitarian Church were: Seth Low, President; William H. Cary, Peter G. Taylor, Davit Felt, Charles M. Olcott, L. W. Thomas, Josephi L. Lord, John Greenwood and George B. Granniss. A plot of land on Pierrepont st. and Monroe Place had been purchased, and a new and elegant church erected, which was consecrated April 24, 1844, as the Church of the Saviour. In Nov., 1863, Dr. Farley preached his farewell sermon, after twenty years' pastorate. His suc- cessor, Rev. A. P. Putnam, the present incumbent, was installed Sept. 28, 1864.

In 1865-'6, a beautiful chapel adjoining the church was erected, at an expense of $20,000, besides extensive repairs to the church. In 1867, it dismissed a number of its families, for the purpose of establishing a new society of its faith in South Brooklyn, and gave $10,000 for the erection of Unity Chapel. It has about 300 communicants and a Sabbath- school of thirty teachers and 200 echolars.

Nov. 5, 1850; held its first public service April 20, 1851, in the Brooklyn Female Academy, and continued to meet there until the building was burned in January, 1853. The society then occupied the Brooklyn Institute for a few months; and next the Brooklyn Atheneum, until March, 1858, when a church edifice on the corner of Clinton and Congress streets was completed. Of cruciform shape, in the Anglo-Italian style, with fine stained windows and beautiful interior decorations, it is an attractive building, and was the first departure in Brooklyn from conventional church architecture. Rev. Samuel Longfellow, a younger brother of Henry W. Long- fellow, served as Pastor, with great acceptance, from Oct. 26, 1853, till April 29, 1860, when he resigned for reet and re- cuperation. Rev. N. A. Staples succeeded him Nov. 6, 1861, and served as Pastor until his death in Feb., 1864. Rev. John W. Chadwick was ordained and installed as Pastor in Dec., 1864, and continues to officiate till the present time. His ministry has been highly successful and the church is pros- perous. This society has always represented the more ad- vanced and rationalistic element of Unitarianism.

Third Unitarian Congregational Society (Unity Chapel). -September 30, 1867, thirteen persons assembled at a private house in Ryerson st. (to take the initiatory steps towards the establishment of a society of the Liberal Faith in Central Brooklyn), in response to a call published by the Rev. A. P. Putnam, Pastor of the First Unitarian Society. The first Sunday services were held October 6, 1867, in an upper room, over a fish market, on the corner of Classon and Fulton aves., Rev. Dr. F. A. Farley preaching in the morning to an audience of fifty, and Rev. A. P. Putnam in the evening, to about the same number. At the same place, on Dec. 3, 1867, some thirty persons org. the Third Unitarian Society. A Sunday-school had been organized on the 29th of October previous.

Revs. E. J. Galvin and H. C. Badger supplied the church during its earlier months. The preaching of Rev. Robert Collyer, Oct. 11, 1868, gave impetus and influence to the new organization. It was materially aided by the First Unitarian Society, in its beginnings. Seven lots on Classon ave. and Lefferts st. were purchased, and the corner-stone of Unity Chapel was laid Sept. 4, 1868. The dedication services were held Dec. 9, 1868. The chapel and lots cost $25,716. Rev. Stephen H. Camp was installed as the first Pastor, Oct. 6, 1869, and has since continued to officiate in that capacity with marked success.

UNIVERSALIST CHURCHES,

For many years previous to the establishment of a Univer- salist church in Brooklyn, there were those here who be- longed to the society and congregation in New York city, and for whose convenience meetings were held from time to time, on this side of the river, under the ministry of the Rev. Messrs. Mitchell, Sawyer and others. Finally, in 1841, Messrs. William Burbank, Hiram K. Haskins, Wm. Raynor, Edwin Smith, and Morris Reynolds decided to rent a hall, on the corner of Fulton and Cranberry sts., owned by Hon. George Hall, which they occupied for several Sabbaths, with preaching hy Mr. Sawyer and others. This experiment proving successful, they applied for the rent of the hall for the term of a year. By this time, however, much opposition had heen aroused among the orthodox denominations in the city, and the further use of the hall was denied them by its owner, on the ground that " Brooklyn was bad enough with- out having Universalism preached in it." At this juncture, however, the First Unitarian Society offered the use of their church, a small frame building, in Adams st., with organ and furniture included. This was accepted ; and, under the preaching of Rev. Abel C. Thomas, the society gained mem- hers, and determined to have a building of their own. Not being strong enough to effect this, however, eight gentle- men, viz., Abner Chichester, A. C. Thomas, Wm. Burbank, Wm. Raynor, Hiram K. Haskins, E. Winchester, B. A.

Brewster, and Morris Reynolds, acting on the suggestion of the last named, purchased lots on the north-west corner of Fulton and Pineapple sts., on which, in January, 1843, they commenced the erection of a building, the lower part of which was used as stores ; and the upper part, including a small building adjoining, for Sunday-school purposes, was leased to the society for twenty-one years, with renewals, at $600 per annum. This building was first opened and occu- pied June 22, 1843, by the newly incorporated society.

The First Universalist Society (Church of the Restora- tion) .- The Rev. Abel C. Thomas officiated, from the Fall of 1842, until about 1844, and was succeeded by the Rev. T. B. Thayer. In the great fire of 1848, the building was burned ; and the society, having disposed of their lots on favorable terms, purchased lots and erected an elegant new edifice, on the south-east corner of Monroe place and Clark st., at a cost, including lots, furniture and organ, of about $30,000. In 1851, Rev. Mr. Thayer was succeeded in the pastorate by Rev. H. R. Nye, who remained until 1857, and was, in turn, succeeded by Rev. Henry Blanchard. During the early part of his ministry, another Universalist Society, called the Church of the Redeemer, was formed by some of the younger portion of the society. In the early part of 1868, a removal farther up town, and nearer the centre of the parish, was determined upon; and, in October of the eame year, the edi-

fice was sold to the Swedenborgians for $40,000, leaving the society with a net balance of about $20,000. Mr. Blanchard resigned the charge of the society, January 1, 1869.

The Church of Our Father .- In 1868, the Fourth Society (or Church of the Redeemer) became consolidated with the first society under this name. In the Spring of that year, Rev. E. C. Bolles became Pastor, and a chapel was erected on Clermont ave. He resigned in 1869, and Rev. H. R. Nye was recalled in 1870. In 1879, the chapel was sold to the Classon Avenue Presbyterian Church, and a church building, on State st., near Hoyt, was occupied during one year. In 1880, Mr. Nye resigned, and the congregation removed to the Conservatory Building, corner of Fulton st. and Bedford ave., where they have since worshiped.

Lots were purchased at the corner of Lefferts place and Grand ave., and a fine church edifice erected in 1883. The main audience-room is 70 by 80 feet, and the vestry, or Sunday-school room, 30 by 60 feet ; and, as the latter is so arranged that it can be made a part of the main room, the total seating's will accommodate 1,200 persons. The pews are arranged on the amphitheatre plan. The style of architec_ ture is Byzantine; the material used, Trenton pressed brick, terra cotta trimmings, and ornamental stone. The roof is of slate, and the ceiling of iron, resting on columns. The pews and all interior fittings are of hard wood. The walls and ceilings are tastefully decorated, and the windows of stained glass. The church includes in its plan commodious parlors, dining-room and kitchen. The architect is Mr. L. B. Valk, whose system of ventilation is used in the building. A square tower, 100 feet in height, rises from the Fulton st. side of the building. The entire cost is about $35,000. The present Pastor, Rev. A. J. Canfield, entered on his duties in May, 1881. The condition of the society is prosperous.

About the year 1870, a mission was established, and a chapel, called The Centenary Chapel, was erected in Nos- trand avenue; and here services were held during several years. This mission finally became united with the Church of Our Father, and a mission school was established in Broadway.

Mr. CANFIELD was born in Broome county, N. Y., 1840 ; grad. Union Coll. Theol., Canton, N. Y .; ord. 1862 ; previous location, Concord, N. H .; frequent contrib. to The Leader, etc., etc.

All Souls' Universalist Church, South 9th st., near Fourth. -This society, originally known as the First Universalist So-

ciety of Williamsburgh, was started with nineteen members, in April, 1845, through the efforts of a few residents of the village of Williamsburgh, who had formerly been connected with the Orchard St. (N. Y.) Society, of which Rev. Dr. Thomas J. Sawyer was then Pastor. The first services were held in a small chapel on Second street. The little band worshiped there for three years, growing in numbers, until, in 1848, at a cost of $7,000, a church was erected at the corner of Fourth and South Third streets.

The first Pastor was Rev. Henry Lyon, who served till 1849, succeeded by Rev. Day K. Lee, until 1854. In 1856, Rev. Bernard Peters, of Cincinnati, was called and served with much efficiency until 1863. Rev. A. J. Canfield served as Pastor for five years, and was followed, in 1870, hy Rev. Almon Gunnison, who yet occupies the pastorate.

In May, 1873, the present church edifice, known as All Souls' Church, was dedicated. Two years later, a new chapel was erected. The church property extends through the entire block, the church facing on South Ninth st., the chapel on South Tenth, the two joined together in the rear. The build- ings are commodious, having all the appointments necessary, and were erected at an expense of eighty thousand dollars. They are free from debt.

The first trustees of the society were : George Ricard, William B. Miles, Joseph Stanley, William Dillingham, Theophilus W. Smith, Milton Wooley, Amos Smith.

The first-named of these, George Ricard, was elected Presi- dent of the Board, holding the office for thirty-five years until his death. A marble memorial tablet was erected by his rela- tives in the church, commemorative of his life and works.

The church organization has, at the present time, upwards of three hundred members, the Sunday-school numbering four hundred.

The following are the present officers of the church : Rev. Almon Gunnison, D. D., Pastor; B. W. Wilson, Wm. H. Gaylor, E. S. Seeley, George H. Fisher, Wm. E. Bailey, Clarence E. Lyon, James B. Perkins, Trustees.
