Rev. Joseph B. Bittinger, D.D.
Dr. F. S. Slosson was the first Chorister, and for six years maintained a large voluntary choir, which furnished most valuable aid to the Sabbath services.
The 16th of October, 1862, the pastoral relation between Rev. Mr. Bittinger and the church was dissolved. For months prior to the event his ill-health had prevented him from taking any part in the care of the church, and for more than a year Dr. Aiken discharged the duties of temporary pastor.
Rev. Osman A. Lyman, D.D.
February 8, 1863, Rev. John Mon- teith, of Jackson, Mich., was called to the pastorate, and the ioth of June, of that year, he was installed. This relation was dissolved October 2, 1866.
December 1, 1867, Rev. Osman A. Lyman, D.D., of the Lane Seminary Church, Cincinnati, began his labors as stated supply, and February 17, 1868, he was called to the pastorate. On the 19th of the following May he was installed. He continued as pastor of the church until his death, which occurred suddenly

January 19, 1872, causing most profound grief, not only in his church, but in the entire community.
February 18, 1873, a call was extended to Rev. Charles H. Baldwin, of Jamestown, N. Y. He was installed April 20, 1873, and continued as pastor until the following December, when, upon his own request, the relation was dissolved by Presbytery.
October 26, 1874, a call was given to Rev. W. H. Jeffers, D.D., Professor of Greek and Hebrew in Wooster University. He was installed May 9, 1875, and his pastoral relation con- tinued until June 4, 1877, when it was dissolved by Presby- tery, that he might accept a call to a Professorship in the West- ern Theological Seminary at Alle- gheny City, Pa.
Rev. J. L. Robertson was called October 15, 1877, and was installed the 26th of the following December. Mr. Robertson served until Novem- ber 13, 1881.
After being nearly a year without a pastor a call was extended to Rev. Wm. V. W. Davis, of Manchester, N. H., August 14, 1882, and he was in- stalled the 19th of November of the Rev. W. H. Jeffers, D.D. same year. By an urgent call from another field Mr. Davis was induced to resign the pastorate, his resignation taking effect April 15, 1887.
The present pastor, Rev. Samuel P. Sprecher, D.D., was called from his work in San Francisco, Cal., March 14, 1887, and was installed May 29th. The first pastor of this church was one of the most notable men in the ministry of Cleveland, and probably the best Bible student the city has ever had, and looking over the list of pastors one recognizes in each character- istic traits of strength and usefulness.
During these forty-three years there have been frequent enlargements, even the rebuilding of portions of the church. The original subscription for the purchase of a lot, and the erec- tion of a house of worship was $10,650. The first cost, however, was $60,750. The raising of this sum greatly taxed the financial

strength of the church, and it was not until the spring of 1871 that, through the effort of Dr. Lyman, the last indebtedness for $10,000 was cancelled. In 1862, the lecture room was enlarged through funds raised by the Sunday-school. Three rooms were added on the east side, and the vestibule on the north. In March, 1864; the organ was completed and placed in the church, at a cost of $4,000. During the summer of 1868 the steeple was completed, and many repairs were made. Thus from time to time changes were made in the interior until, during the summer of 1883, the most extensive Rev. J. L. Robertson. repairs were made, which closed the audience room for nine months. The walls were beautifully frescoed, and new windows were put in. Especial mention should be made of the beautiful central window, on the west side of the church, which was imported from Europe and presented to the church in memory of the late George Worthington, by the family. This extensive repair involved an outlay of over $15,000, which was all raised within the church.
The beautiful parsonage and lot on Euclid avenue, the crowning gift to the church by Elder Joseph Perkins before his decease, makes a very valuable addi- tion to the church property, besides furnishing an attractive and central home for the pastor of the church. In the summer of 1891 the old chapel, which had been too small for the growing needs of the church, was torn down, and a much larger, more commodious and modern building was erected on the site, at a cost of about $15,000. The corner-stone of this building was laid in September, 1891, and the dedication of the finished work Rev. W. V. W. Davis, D.D. Miss Anne Walworth has was in the fore part of January, 1892. recently provided an endowment for this church in the sum of
I26

$100,000. The Walworth family has been connected with the church from its organization, and this liberal endowment is given as a family memorial.
The Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church is rapidly beginning to occupy a position similar to that of the Old Stone Church. The trend of resident population eastward, and the advance of busi- ness blocks in the same direction, are making this organization a down-town church. Opportunity for institutional work opens, and with the generous endowment already given, there is a bright prospect for aggressive Christian work, under the able leadership of Dr. Sprecher, who is one of the most versatile and popular ministers in Cleveland.

Westminster Presbyterian Church.
TN March, 1853, the " Executive Committee " of the Old School Presbyterian Church sent Rev. Frederick T. Brown to Cleve- land to inquire into the practicability of organizing a church of that type. The report being favorable, Mr. Brown gathered twenty-six mem- bers, and organized a church January I, 1854. At first the meetings were held in Temperance Hall on Ontario street; then Mr. Brown bought the old "Round Church," formerly occupied by the Mil- lerites, corner of Wood and Theresa streets. Here for several years Mr. Brown, an able man, and one devotedly earnest in his work, ministered in an ac- Rev. Frederick T. Brown, D.D. ceptable manner, drawing his congrega- tion from all denominations. Upon a list of subscribers to a fund for the building of a new church, and subscription to Mr. Brown's salary, are found the names of some of the most prominent men

in the city at that time. The church was incorporated as " West- minster " (Old School Presbyterian) Church, of Cleveland, De- cember 12, 1855, and Charles Hickox, James Mason, Alexander McIntosh and John Cary were elected Trustees, and E. J. Estep, Clerk.
A house of worship was erected at the corner of Prospect and Huntington streets in 1858, and Mr. Brown continued his ministrations until during the war in 1861, when he left the work temporarily to accept the Chaplain- ship of the Seventh Ohio Regiment, and went through the campaign in West Vir- ginia. On his return, owing to the hard war times, and the difficulty of raising money to pay the church debt, Mr. Brown resigned, and was succeeded by Rev. Moses A. Hoge, who labored until Rev. Moses A. Hoge, D.D. September 10, 1865. In April, 1866, the Rev. S. P. Lynn was called. He served the church until April, 1867, and was succeeded by Rev. V. A. Lewis, whose pastorate ceased in the early part of 1869.
On the first Sabbath of April, 1870, the Rev. E. B. Raffen- sperger took charge of the church. He was installed April 16, 1871. The Old and the New School Presbyterian Churches having united, an effort was made by the Cleveland Presbytery to strengthen this enterprise. For a time, with the hearty co- operation of the Presbyterian Union, the church increased in strength, but many of its members having moved near the new Memorial, now Case Avenue Presbyterian Church, and the church occupying the same field as that of the Euclid Avenue Church, Mr. Raffensper- ger finding the existence of a debt, of which he was not aware when he was in- stalled, resigned, and closed his labors March 30, 1873.
