Mr. Eells, being still identified with the Sunday-school, saw the pressing need of a larger building. He purchased a lot on Willson avenue at the corner of Lexington, and entered upon the erection of a church for the rapidly growing congregation. The corner-stone of the present beautiful structure was laid in Aug- ust, 1883. Early in the next year it was ready for occupancy, and in the spring of 1884, the whole property was deeded to the trustees of the church. The building is of brick, with light stone trimmings, and its cost was $30,000. Thus, within two years, the church had attained a membership of 115, and found itself in possession of property worth $37,000, all through the generosity of one man. Mr. Chester continued as pastor of the church until the Ist of November, 1889, when he resigned to accept editorial work in the office of "The Sunday School Times," of Philadelphia.

During his pastorate there was a constant growth in member- ship, the number of communicants at the time of his departure being about 235. During the following interim, Rev. E. Bush- nell, D.D., supplied the pulpit for some weeks.
Rev. Arthur J. Waugh, who had been serving the church at Willoughby for nearly ten years, was called to the vacant pulpit. He began his labors on the Ist of April, 1890. During the first year sixty-four were added to the church, making a net increase of fifty-five. Since that time the large territory that the church controlled has become more limited, fifteen other churches having been built in the vicinity. At present, the membership is a little more than 300. In October, 1893, the pastor, with several of his helpers, organized a mission Sunday-school on the corner of Willson avenue and St. Clair street. This mission has prospered, and has an enrollment of 150.

Beckwith Memorial Presbyterian Church.
M [R. T. S. BECKWITH, for many years an Elder of the Sec- ond Presbyterian Church, who died March 25, 1876, made by will the following provisions for the erection of a church, or churches in Cleveland, which should bear his name:
"I give and bequeath to the Session of the Second Presbyterian Church (as agents) my Coal Stock in the Cleveland, Pittsburgh & New York Coal Co., to be held by them in trust, and the dividends to be by them re-invested without spending any of it until the income from it shall amount to ten thousand dollars, then the said Session shall build a church with said income of ten thousand dollars, in which the pews shall be forever free to all. The said Session shall then engage a pastor to preach in said church, and shall pay his salary, or such part of it as the congrega- tion shall fail to pay, from the income from the coal stock. The stock, or the value of it if the Company should dissolve, shall be kept forever as a fund to support the pastor of said church, or the pastors of the churches hereinafter described, and to build said churches. The church to be located where the Session think that it will do the most good, in the city of Cleve-

land. The church shall be called the Beckwith Church so long as it shall be supported in whole or in part by this fund. When the church becomes able to support itself in whole or in part, then the Session shall build another church at the same cost, as soon as they are able, with the income from the stock, and hire a pastor, as before. The Session shall continue to do so forever. And in every instance the church shall be called the Beckwith Church of the street or district in which it stands."
The session of the Second Church became an incorporated body, and accepted this trust. By the summer of 1883, a suf- ficient fund had accumulated to warrant beginning work upon a chapel, a lot on the corner of Fairmount and Deering streets hav- ing been purchased by Mrs. Beckwith and deeded to the session of the Second Church for this purpose. By the close of 1884 the chapel was completed, and the Rev. Mat- toon M. Curtis, pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church, of Hastings, N. Y., was invited to take charge of the work. He accepted, and entered upon his labors January II, 1885, the chapel having been opened for its first service the previous Sunday, the Rev. E. Bushnell, Rev. James D. Williamson. D.D., treasurer of Adelbert College, preaching in the morning, and the Rev. C. S. Pomeroy, D.D., pastor of the Second Church, in the evening. A Sunday-school was organized the first Sunday that the chapel was opened, and has since been maintained without interruption. June 17, 1885, Beckwith Presbyterian Church was organized with twenty-three members. The Rev. Mattoon M. Curtis was elected and installed as pastor, with Frederic A. Kendall as elder, and Elton G. Norris as deacon. The sermon was preached by Dr. C. S. Pomeroy. The charge to the pastor was given by Dr. Wilton Merle Smith, and to the people by Dr. E. Bushnell. The pastoral relation thus formed was continued until April 1, 1888, when it was dissolved

at the request of Mr. Curtis, that he might study and travel abroad. His pastorate had been so signally blessed in the build- ing up of the church, and so completely had he won the love and esteem of all, that his resignation was accepted with the utmost reluctance and sorrow. After some years of study abroad, Dr. Curtis accepted the call to become Handy Professor of Intel- lectual Philosophy in Adelbert College, where he now teaches within sight of his old pastorate.
That there might be no interruption to the work so auspiciously begun, steps were taken to immediately secure another pastor, and the Rev. James D. Williamson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Warren, was called. He ac- cepted, and entered upon his work April 1, 1888, there being thus no break between the close of Mr. Curtis' pastorate and the beginning of Mr. Williamson's service. Mr. Williamson was installed as pastor of the church April 22, 1888, and still remains in that relation.
Rev. Mattoon M. Curtis, Ph.D.
During the year 1889, the need of a church building in addition to the chapel began to be urgently felt, if the work of the church was to be suc- cessfully and vigorously prosecuted. The matter was brought before the Presbyterian Union at its annual meeting, held in January, 1890, and the Union recommended that the church be encouraged to apply to the churches for the $10,000, required to supplement their own exertions. The work of raising the amount required was immediately undertaken, but for a time with meager success. At length, however, the Second Church very generously re- sponded to the need with a pledge for the entire $10,000, and this having been supplemented with gifts from members of other Presbyterian churches, the Society of the Beckwith Church, at a meeting held April 9, 1891, empowered the Building Committee to undertake at once the construction of the desired building. Plans prepared by Mr. Wm. W. Sabin were adopted, and the corner-stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies September 6,

1891. The church was completed in May, 1892, and cost, ex- clusive of the organ and memorial window, about $26,000. The dedication took place Sunday, May 15, 1892. At the hour of morning service a farewell meeting was held in the chapel, at which addresses were made by the pastor, by the former pastor, Professor Curtis, and by two of the early members of the church, Captain F. A. Kendall and Professor Charles J. Smith. The dedication services proper were held at 3 p. m., Dr. C. S. Pome- roy preaching the sermon. Dr. H. C. Haydn preached at the evening service In the erection and furnishing of the new church building the congregation is greatly indebted, not only to the pastors and members of the Second Church and the Old Stone Church, but also to the family of the generous founder of the church. Special mention should be made of the memorial organ, the gift of Mrs. Beckwith in memory of her son, and of the me- morial window, the gift of Mr. Beckwith in memory of his father. This church is in close proximity to the educational center of Cleveland, and although Adelbert College is not a denominational institution, it is largely the product of Presbyterian money and devotion. Very fitting, then, is it that a Presbyterian Church has been located near this institution of learning, in which so much Presbyterian interest centers. There have been received into membership of this church since its organization about 400 persons, and although much of the territory, which it was thought would be tributary to the church, remains to a considerable ex- tent unoccupied, under the faithful labors of Mr. Williamson and his people, the church is destined to have a sure, if slow, de- velopment.
