INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The objects of this publication are : 
 
 1. To add to the agencies that are welding the Congregational 
 Churches of Cleveland into an aggressive force for the evangelization of 
 this city. 
 
 2. To furnish those churches that have no directory with such a help 
 for their work. 
 
 3. To catch a bit of the local history of each and all the churches 
 from the pens of those who are agents in our progress. 
 
 4. To stimulate all our members to emulate the labors and seek the 
 successes of those who have been most aggressive. 
 
 5. To secure, if possible, some financial aid for our youngest Con- 
 gregational Church, viz., the Lake View Church, to which all the profits, 
 if any, of this publication will go towards a fund for a new building. 
 
 To this end the pastors and officers of our various societies have 
 generously lent their aid in furnishing material for publication under 
 their respective headings, and pictures from which to make the cuts 
 which illustrate the work. 
 
 While it was sought to include the portraits of those who have been 
 identified with the growth of our denomination in this city, it was neces- 
 sary to confine the choice to those who have official relations to our 
 common work, or are conspicuously helpful in the work of individual 
 churches, at the time this work is compiled, viz:, December 1, 1895. 
 
 Though the special direction of this work has been in the hands of the 
 pastor of the Lake View Church, he gratefully acknowledges the prompt 
 and hearty co-operation of each pastor and official from whom the mass 
 of facts had to be gathered. 
 
 It is believed that our advertisers will find this work a help in afford- 
 ing them direct access to a fine class of patrons, as well as a benefit in 
 bringing their business to the attention of those interested in the churches 
 in whose behalf this book appears,

CONGREGATIONALISM IN CLEVELAND. 
 
 A BRIEF OUTLINE OF WHAT IT IS, AND HOW IT HAS WORKED. 
 BY HENRY M. LADD, D. D. 
 
 /^CONGREGATIONALISM has been defined as "Sanctified Common 
 ^^^^^ Sense." It is the Bible put into practical use in Church life and 
 — work. It has no peculiarities except those which inhere in Free- 
 dom by the Truth. Following the example of the churches founded by 
 the Apostles, it believes in and stands for ecclesiastical democracy, pure 
 and simple. Christ alone is the recognized head of the Church, and all 
 others are brethren. Each church governs itself, but it does not stand 
 alone; it stands in the fellowship of a common masterhood, and a com- 
 mon brotherhood in the active and aggressive service of the Kingdom 
 of Christ on earth. 
 
 The churches, independent in themselves, and amenable only to 
 Christ, are federated in the closest of fellowship — the fellowship not of 
 ecclesiastical clamps or of the bondage of creeds, but in the fellowship of 
 the Spirit. This alone is found to be vital fellowship. 
 
 The orbit of Congregationalism, like that of the swiftest heavenly 
 bodies, is an ellipse. Around its two foci, independence and fellowship, it 
 moves with a momentum born of God. Its laws are the laws of reason, 
 promulgated in a multitude of counselors. They have authority only so 
 far as they have wisdom and good sense back of them. Its appeal is 
 constantly to the right-wiseness of the people. Thus it stimulates 
 thought, cultivates talent and deepens the sense of responsibility. It 
 renders help and gives advice through Councils called for the purpose. 
 The spiritual growth, activity and work of the churches are stimulated 
 and fostered and guided by local Conferences, by State Associations and 
 by National Triennial Councils. It carries on the federated work of the 
 churches through its six great benevolent organizations. It is foremost 
 in educational and philanthropic work. It stands at the head of all the 
 denominations in benevolences. It acts as a ready solvent of sectarian 
 divisions. It has a glorious history, and a noble past of which it is 
 justly proud, and its influence in shaping this nation in its early days, 
 and laying the foundations of the free institutions which so nobly char- 
 acterize it, are freely admitted by all students of history. If Congrega- 
 tionalism had not so lavishly given itself away for the enrichment of 
 other denominations, it would be stronger in itself to-day. But there is 
 some comfort in the fact that what has been our loss has been their 
 gain. 
 
10 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 This Congregationalism, poorly understood and greatly undervalued, 
 in the course of time found its way to Cleveland. In the opening days of 
 this closing century a few Congregationalists from New England blazed 
 their way westward through the forests, and across the rivers, to what 
 was then the far West, and settled within the present borders of this city. 
 In those days the minds of men in New England were so holden that 
 they could not see beyond the Hudson River, and Presbyterianism and 
 Congregationalism went forth hand in hand, but the latter was led 
 blindfolded. Those were the days of pioneering, and of log shanties and 
 ox-carts; they were the days of a rude genesis; and though too fre- 
 quently the Presbyterian Lion lay down with the Congregational Lamb 
 inside, nevertheless Congregationalism was there. 
 
 The "Plan of Union" lost about two thousand Congregational 
 churches to our order, and Presbyterianism in Ohio and Cleveland, as in 
 many other places, got a long start by that arrangement. However, 
 Congregationalism dared in some instances to assert itself. Archwood 
 Avenue Church was the first church founded within what are now known 
 as the City limits. After some 3'ears of affiliation with Presbyterians, 
 Congregationalism, true to its inherent principles of freedom and loyalty 
 to the right, slowly came to itself. A new movement arose which hast- 
 ened the process; the anti-slavery agitation was stirring the nation's 
 heart with its appeal for human rights. The lines everywhere were 
 clearly and closely drawn. The result was that churches here and there, 
 like the Euclid Avenue church, withdrew from Presbytery, and in the 
 face of persecution and obloquy, established themselves on free and Con- 
 gregational principles. Several churches were organized during the 
 period from 1830 to 1860, but there was no great activity. From 1860 
 to 1880 was a period largely of centralization and local growth, but 
 Congregationalism in the city had not yet fully come to itself, or realized 
 its own worth. From 1880 to the present time a marked change has 
 come over the life and character of our Cleveland Congregationalism. 
 Among the agencies which contributed chiefl}^ to this new and vigorous life, 
 and more than doubled the number of Congregational churches and the 
 relative strength of Congregationalism in the city in tenor a dozen years, 
 maybementioned the following: First: The organization of the Cleveland 
 Congregational Club, which, in bringing the Congregationalists of the 
 city and vicinity together in a social and literary way, has also begotten 
 a confidence in Congregational ideas and methods, and developed a 
 consciousness of strength and of union which must always lie at the 
 basis of success. Second: The exceedingly cordial and fraternal relations 
 of the Congregational ministers of the city, sustained by their monthly 
 meeting, occasional picnics and friendly dinners together down town, 
 have also contributed not a Httle to the soHdity and healthful growth 
 of the denomination. The providential opening also of the Bohemian 
 mission work, with its divine compulsion of religious earnestness and 
 activity, has been another cause of unification and growth. By its side, 
 time, stood the Church Extension department, which was felt to be

 a kindred work, but which soon demanded for itself a separate and more 
 vigorous existence as the Congregational City Missionary Societ3^ The 
 Euclid Avenue Church has also been a leading agency during this period 
 of growth. It recognized its opportunity in the growing East-End sec- 
 tion of the city, and heroically resolved itself into a vigorous church ex- 
 tension society. It gave its members and gave its money, founding four 
 of the important churches of the city, and starting a fifth enterprise 
 
 H. M. LADD, D.D. 
 
 which may yet result in something more than a beginning. The noble 
 record made by this church is a long and important chapter in the history 
 of our Cleveland C(jngregationalism. Its children are : the Madison 
 Avenue Church, the Park Church, the Hough Avenue Church and the 
 Lake View Church. Cleveland Congregationalism was thus thoroughly 
 aroused, the result was the organization of the City Missionary Society, 
 whereby all the churches co-operate in founding and sustaining new 
 churches in the strategic and needy parts of the city. Since its organi- 
 
12 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 zation, it has made Congregational history at a rapid rate, and could go 
 forward still more rapidly, accomplishing greater things in the name of 
 the Master, if it only had more means at its command. 
 
 Another element of this rapid growth of late years must not be over- 
 looked, it is the attractive beauty of our New Testament polity as it 
 appears to other denomiations. Those who love the American idea easily 
 fall in love with Congregationalism. The proofs are abundant: a Church 
 organizing itself as a Congregational church without even a single 
 Congregationalist in it; Churches received bodily from more than one 
 other denomination ; and ministers coming frequently to us from other 
 ■communions are interesting proofs of the fact. 
 
 These, then, are some of the elements that have contributed to the 
 advance movement which has so clearly characterized the last decade. 
 The result is that, whereas, in 1880 there were only nine churches in the 
 City of Cleveland, to-day there are twenty-one, with four or five promis- 
 ing mission stations growing up rapidly into churchhood. Moreover, 
 our churches stand at the very forefront in institutional and winter-night 
 -college work, applying Christianity to the needs of the people. They are 
 active, wide-awake and pvishing in the Master's service. 
 
 Just at present the trend of the population eastward along Euclid 
 Avenue offers an inviting field for the further exercise of our Congrega- 
 tional enterprise. The present is full of inspiration, and the future is full 
 .of hope. 
 
 True to the Master whose we are, and whom we seek to serve, with 
 "Otir noble history back of us, we, the Congregationalists of Cleveland, 
 propose, with Divine help, to press forward with renewed earnestness, 
 believii^g that in loyalty to our own denomination, and a wise use of 
 the advantages of our own polity, we can best serve Christ and the 
 world. 
 
 With largest liberality towards others, co-operating with all, seeking 
 not our own, but the things of Christ, standing for the great essentials 
 of Truth and Right, laboring in our democratic way for a pure Christian- 
 ity and a simple gospel, we set our faces toward the Kingdom with a 
 single aim and purpose to do our part for " Christ and His Church." 
 
THE CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE. 
 
 BY J. W. MOORE, REGISTRAR. 
 
 fi^'HE Cleveland Congregational Conference was organized in 1853, at 
 [y the "First Church on the West Side." Rev. Henry Co wles was 
 the first moderator and registrar. The early Congregational 
 ministers and their associates spoke with no uncertain sound regarding 
 
 JAMES W. MOORE, REGISTRAR OF CONFERENCE. 
 
 the then all-pervading theme of Slavery and State Sovereignty. The 
 second article of the Constitution, which was adopted in 1853 and wbkb 
 has never been changed, shows the purpose of the Conference : 
 
14 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 Section 1. It shall be a special object of this Conference to develop 
 the true idea of Christianitj' by manifesting and sustaining the law of 
 love in all human relations, and by protesting against all known sin. 
 
 The third article of the Constitution has the true ring of early Pilgrim 
 Congregationalism, and is as follows: 
 
 ARTICLE III. 
 
 Section 1. The several local churches shall retain their individual 
 rights and privileges, and no ecclesiastical authority shall ever be assumed 
 by the Conference or be delegated to it. 
 
 The ministers who were moderators have many of them written their 
 names high in the history of the whole country, and include such men as : 
 
 Rev. Henry Cowles, Rev. James Brand, 
 
 Rev. J. A. Thome, Rev. Wm. Kincaid, 
 
 Rev. C. W. Torrej', Prof. J. M. Ellis, 
 
 Rev. C. C. Baldw^in, Rev. Henry M. Tenney, 
 
 Rev. John Morgan, Rev. Edwnn E.Williams, 
 
 Rev. E, H. Fairchild, Rev. Samuel B. Shipman, 
 
 Rev. W. H. Brewster, Rev. H. Melville Tenney, 
 
 Rev. Lucius Smith, Rev. J. M. Merrill, 
 
 Rev. H. C Hitchcock, Rev. J. R. Nichols, 
 
 Rev. J. H. Fairchild, Rev. Owen Jenkins, 
 
 Rev. Judson Smith, Rev. Chas. S. Mills, 
 
 Rev. J. E. Twitchell, Rev. H. M. Ladd, 
 
 Rev. E. P. Barrows, Rev. I. W. Metcalf. 
 
 There have been but five registrars since the Conference was organized: 
 
 Rev. Henry Cowles, who served from 1853 to J 859, 
 Rev. A. D. Barber, who served from 1859 to 1860. 
 Dr. J. D. Denham, who served from 1860 to 1873, 
 Dea. Horace Ford, w^ho served from 1873 to 1892, 
 Dea. Jas. W. Moore, who served from 1892, the present registrar. 
 
 The Conference now consists of forty churches, with a membership 
 on January 1, 1895, of 8,790, and whose benevolences for the year 1894 
 amounted to $21,600.00, with an expenditure for home expenses of 
 $97,066.00. There were in the Sabbath-schools of Cleveland Conference 
 during the year 1894, 9,244 members, with benevolent contributions of 
 $1,111.00. 
 
OHIO HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 
 
 ^JI^HIS society, having its headquarters in Cleveland, was organized 
 July 1, 1872. The object of the society is to diffuse the knowl- 
 edge of the gospel of Jesus Christ, by aiding orthodox Congrega- 
 tional churches within the State that are not able to support the ministry 
 of the word ; by facilitating the organization of churches wherever they

 are needed; by supplying with the preached gospel communities desti- 
 tute of the same; and by co-operating with the American Congregational 
 Missionary Society in the Work of Missions in other States and 
 Territories.

 The office of the Secretary is in the Y. M. C. A. Building. The last 
 annual report of the secretary says : "The constituency of the society 
 now consists of 260 churches, including six outside the State; 151 
 churches made offerings as churches to Home Missions, 29 others through 
 other channels — a total of 180, a proportion substantially the same as 
 for some years past." 
 
 The annual estimates and appropriations made by the Executive 
 Committee are about $14,000. 
 
 Of the twenty-one churches in Cleveland, ten have, at some time in 
 their history, received directly from the National or Ohio Home Mission- 
 ary Society, aid amounting to $13,534.71, all of which has been for 
 salaries of pastors. These ten churches are Archwood Avenue, Irving 
 Street, Pilgrim, West Side Welsh, East Madison Avenue, Franklin 
 Avenue, Grace, Union, Bethlehem, Swedish. And Bethlehem church and 
 its branches and allied work have received in addition, through the 
 Bohemian Board, aid amounting to $48,932 in the past ten years. 
 
ONGREGATIONAL 
 
 OF 
 
 CLEVELAND 
 
 AND 
 
 -VIONITY- 
 
 BY R. O. BESWICK, SECRETARY. 
 
 ^li^WENTY-SIX years ago in Boston, Mass., was organized the first 
 y|I[7 Congregational Club in the country. Three years it stood alone. 
 Others then followed in rapid succession, as spokes from the 
 hub, until at the present time the list numbers fifty-two. From the Bay 
 and the Pine-Tree states on the east coast, to the Golden Gate and 
 Puget Sound on the west, these spokes touch seventeen of our forty-four 
 states and the District of Columbia. At first the East claimed a large 
 proportion of this number; but the West has fallen rapidly into line — even 
 the far West, not counting Chicago, St. Louis and Minneapolis having 
 eight. 
 
 Our own club was organized just twenty years ago ; it stands sixth 
 on the list, two others leading it by a few months in the same year. 
 
 It was the outgrowth of a desire among a few earnest spirits of that 
 day for a closer unity among the Congregational churches and their 
 membership. These men met in the parlors of the Y. M. C. A. (on the site 
 of the now Society for Savings Bank Building on Public Square), and at 
 that meeting, after much earnest talk and prayer, Monday night, Novem- 
 ber 8th, 1875, the Cleveland Congregational Club was formally organ- 
 ized by the adoption of a constitution and set of by-laws, and the 
 election of a corps of officers and committees. 
 
 A roll call showed fifteen constituting members present, and eleven 
 others were voted in at that first meeting, as follows : 
 
 Rev. J. E. Twitchell, Jas. W. Clarke, 
 
 Rev. S. H. Lee, Seth H. Sheldon, 
 
 Rev. 0. D. Fisher, Alex. Forbes,

 Starting with these twenty-six members, the number has varied and 
 increased annually, until at the close of the season of 1894-95 the an- 
 nual report showed a membership of two hundred. 
 
 Shortly after organizing, by general usage, the name adopted at first 
 was changed to The Congregational Club of Cleveland and Vicinity, and 
 in 1886, under a revision of the Constitution, this became the formal 
 name. Ten meetings were held each year until 1887, when the number 
 
 KEY. I. W. METCALF, PRESIDENT. 
 
 was changed to five. The season now opens with the October meeting 
 and closes with that of April, omitting January. The whole number of 
 meetings since the beginning is 157, including that of November, 1895. 
 
 In 1886, the Club made special observance of Forefathers' Day, 
 which was so favorably received that, ever since, its observance has 
 been an established feature of our Club. life. 
 
 After the first meeting, the Club met in the parlors of Plymouth 
 
20 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 Congregational Church until 1879. From that time till 1885, at 
 the Forest City House, then chapels, halls and restaurants were each 
 tried, and each in a measure found wanting ; the Club ever having 
 a secret longing for a home of its own. In 1885 this longing 
 seemed to be realized, a temporary home being found in the Y. M. 
 C. A. Building. But after two years' enjoyment of its new home, 
 the Club was forced again to "board around." After a number of 
 years at DeKlyn's, a few meetings at Army and Navy Hall, it is now 
 holding its meetings in the banquet hall of the Grays' Armory. 
 
 At the annual meeting of 1877, ladies were invited as guests, since 
 w^hich time once or twice a year they have graced vsrith their presence 
 the meetings of the Club. So great an added interest has this been 
 that at the prefeent time four of the six meetings of the year are 
 thrown open to them — the Opening meeting of the season, the Annual 
 meeting, Forefather's Day Festival and the Rally meeting of April. 
 
 The themes which have been discussed by the Club have been 
 timely, of vital interest, and those which at the time lay near to 
 men's hearts. The papers presented have uniformly exhibited care- 
 ful and laborious preparation, and have been of marked ability. The 
 discussions have been stimulating and profitable. As a denomina- 
 tional exchange, a social centre, and a means of developing and crys- 
 tallizing thought upon subjects of vital interest, the Club has an im- 
 portant work, peculiarly its own, to do. 
 
 It has contributed a large share to the social acquaintance and sym- 
 pathy among our churches. It has been the means of the free discus- 
 sion of important questions. It has aided indirectly at least in Church 
 extension. And the present prosperity, bearing witness to the strong 
 hold it has taken upon its members, makes it bold to invite the co-oper- 
 ation of all churches of our fellowship in our vicinity to aid in the further- 
 ance of the good work.

 The Congregational City Missionary Society is the product of an 
 ecclesiastical evolutionary process not yet completed. Many years of 
 devoted service and many thousands of dollars have been given by phil- 
 anthropic Congregational laymen to missions not flying any denomina- 
 tional flag and not intended to develop into churches. 
 
 The People's Tabernacle and Music Hall, with its varied activities, in- 
 cluding at one time an organized church which was Congregational in 
 form but not in name, was verv' largely founded and supported by a 
 prominent Congregationalist. 
 
 J. G. W. COWLES. 
 
 What may properly be called Congregational City Missionary work 
 in Cleveland is now conducted through four agencies. 
 
 1. Individual churches have established and maintained missions. 
 Plymouth Church's Ohvet Chapel did great good for several years in one 
 of the worst sections of the city. It was the forerunner of the Bohemian 
 work and decreased as the latter increased. In its death it glorified God 
 by contributing to the fruitful life of the Friendly Inn and the Salvation. 
 Army. Mt. Zion Church and the Swedish Church were organized under 
 the fostering care of Plymouth Church. A First Church mission became 
 Franklin Avenue Church ; and Euclid Avenue Church, with a wisdom^ 
 
26 
 
 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 which has been justified in all her children, generously pushed out four 
 -wisely located colonies, all of which speedily became influential, inde- 
 pendent churches. 
 
 2. The Ohio Home Missionary Society continues to aid two of the 
 €ight churches in Cleveland, which were organized with its help, but 
 it reduces its grants as the churches approach self-support. 
 
 3. The Bohemian Mission Board was the beginning of organized 
 missionary work by Cleveland churches for their own city. It is composed 
 
 C. M. PRESTON. 
 
 ordinarily of five laymen elected by the city churches. Its management 
 has been vigorous, consecrated and business-like. Since 1883, when 
 at was formed, it has gained unincumbered title to three valuable church 
 properties and the Bible Readers' Home, and it now employs eight 
 missionaries at five different stations in Cleveland and expends nearly 
 $5,000 a year. The Board has for several years sustained to the Ohio 
 Home Missionary Society, and through it to the National Society, the 
 
CONGREGATIONAL CITY MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

 relation of an aided home missionary church. Its work is in Cleveland, 
 but is of such national importance that a large share of its support 
 rightly comes from Congregational churches in all parts of the country 
 and to some extent from members of other denominations. 
 
 Realizing the need of a similarly effective organization for work 
 among English-speaking people in the city; and being reluctant to multi- 
 ply societies, the Cleveland churches in 1889 asked the Bohemian Board 
 to become the Church Extension and Bohemian Mission Board. The 
 result was a union in name but not in fact, and after a year's experiment 
 the relation was amicably dissolved, and the Bohemian Board resumed 
 its previous form.

 4. The Church Extension Committee then became incorporated as the 
 Congregational City Missionary Society, substantially on the Chicago 
 plan. Of its twenty-five trustees, all but six are laymen. For nearly two 
 years it had no superintendent. From March 1, 1894, to December 1, 
 1895, Rev. Irving W. Metcalf devoted one-third of his time to the 
 Society's superintendency, in addition to his duties as associate pastor 
 of Pilgrim Church. 
 
 The Society's first mission was what is now the Lakewood church. Its 
 first location was on Detroit street, a little west of Highland avenue 
 but it later moved its temporary chapel to an eligible lot on the south- 
 
28

 east corner of Detroit street and Highland avenue. It is a fully organ- 
 ized church, with Rev. H. A. N. Richards as its pastor, and gives promise 
 of becoming for the more slowly developing West Side of Cleveland what 
 the strong Euclid Avenue Church is for the East Side. Its present lot, 
 w^hich is large enough for all future needs, is almost exactly the same 
 distance west of the Public Square that the Euclid avenue church is east 
 of it. Mr. C. B. Ferrell is the Sunday-school superintendent.

 Lorain street, near the city limits. A Sunday-school has been maintained 
 in charge of John G. Simon as superintendent since June. 1893. The 
 superintendent of the City Missionary Society began Sunday evening 
 services in March, 1894, which have continued with increasing attend- 
 ance and interest. During the summer of 1895 the work was for six 
 weeks in charge of Mr. Charles H. Powell of Oberlin Seminary, and later 
 of Mr. Mark L. Thomsen, who made a thorough house to house canva 
 of the field, finding some four hundred families within a radius of half a 
 
CONGREGATIONAL CITY MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

 mile of the Mission, and no other English-speaking church enterprise 
 within that territory. 
 
 The Free Congregational Church and Society of Euclid Village was 
 organized in 1852. It has held no stated services since 1878, but has 
 maintained its legal organization. June 15, 1893, at a regularly called 
 meeting, the trustees were authorized to file a petition in court for leave 
 to transfer the real estate and all personal property to the Congrega- 
 tional City Missionary Society, on condition that the proceeds o^ the 
 
 C. A. POST. 
 
 same be used in the purchase of a lot in East Cleveland hamlet, and 
 erecting thereon a church building for a Congregational church. This 
 transfer was completed in 1894, and the City Missionary Society in 1895 
 purchased a lot on the corner of Euclid and Page avenues, in East 
 Cleveland. On this eligible lot a building will soon be erected. 
 
 Neither the Euclid Avenue church nor the Ohio Home Missionary 
 Society expects to undertake any further work in Cleveland, but

 they retain for the present their voluntarily diminishing share of respon- 
 sibility for enterprises they have started. The Bohemian Board and the 
 City Missionary Society now represent the Cleveland churches in the 
 starting of new missions and churches in Cleveland and vicinity, and 
 each has its own well-defined field.

 All four of these agencies work with harmony and enthusiasm for 
 the extension of Congregationalism in Greater Cleveland. The City- 
 Missionary Society is under the leadership of some of Cleveland's besr 
 business men and has come to the Kingdom for the time of Cleveland's 
 largest opportunities in Congregational Church Extension. 
 
 The society holds an annual meeting in Novem- 
 ber or December of each year. At its meeting: 
 December 2, 1895, Superintendent Metcalf pre- 
 sented a final report for the year, showing the 
 work done. The treasurer's report showed $3,149.- 
 4-7 expended during the year, and $224.99 on 
 hand. It was voted to establish a permanent fund 
 to consist of all legacies not specifically given for 
 other purposes, all contributions specifically made 
 for the purpose and two per cent, of all other 
 contributions. 
 
 Addresses were made by President H.Clark Ford 
 Dr. J. G. Fraser, Rev. Dr. Charles F. Thwing, Mr. 
 L. M. Pitkin, Rev. Dr. H. M. Ladd and Rev. Chas.

 ^HIS oldest of the Congregational churches in Cleveland has 
 already passed its three-quarter centennial, having been organ- 
 ized July 25, 1819, by missionaries of the Presbyterian Church, 
 with six members. For almost a half century — until 1867 — it vsras con- 
 nected with the Cleveland Presbytery, in accordance with that "plan of 
 union" which in all those years did so much to establish Congregational 
 generosity and Presbyterian churches. 
 
 During its earlier years of Presbygational existence, the church was 
 served by Reverends William McLane, S. I. Bradstreet, B. B. Drake and 
 Thomas Lee. The church life, although feeble, was continuous, regular 
 services being maintained until 1840. From this time there was a lapse 
 or suspension of church activity, as so frequently happens in the case of 
 feeble, struggling churches. This break in the continuous life of the church 
 lasted until 1846, when Rev. B. Foltz became acting pastor. Then came 
 a second suspension of services, until in 1851 Rev. Calvin Durfee w^as 
 called to the pastorate. The records of those earlier days reveal some in- 
 teresting facts, which bear on the general religious conditions of that 
 time. 
 
 This church, it is interesting to note, although organized and fostered 
 by Presbytery, is referred to repeatedly in its records as " the Congrega- 
 tional Church of Brooklyn." It was incorporated as the " First Congre- 
 gational Society of Brooklyn" — and there is the record of a "meeting of 
 the Congregational Society of Brooklyn held on the first Monday of 
 March, 1831." Asindicative of certain conditions in the forties are a few 
 such records as these, which show that a certain deacon was subjected 
 to discipline because he was seen "coming from the direction of Mr. 
 Brigs's tavern " — in a state of intoxication. Also we learn that a certain 
 other brother and his wife were expelled from the church because they be- 
 lieved in "universal salvation." Another deacon was called up because of 
 " certain rumors," one being that he used "very profane language." Still 
 another interesting record is that of a "resolution," presented in January, 
 '47. ''Resolved, That we will neither invite a slave-holder to our pulpit, 
 nor welcome him to the Communion table; and that we will have no fel- 
 lowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." 
 This good anti-slavery utterance was debated and — lost. So much for 
 what may be called the "ancient history" of a church. The bright and 
 fruitful pastorate of Rev. J. B. Allen, extending from 1856 to 1867, brings 
 in the "modern history." Under his wise and sacrificing labors the 
 church took on new life and strength. It was under his wise and faith- 
 
34 
 
 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 ful administration that the church came to have a home in its own build- 
 ing, and a place of real influence in the community. Mr. Allen, although 
 remaining true to his Presbyterian training, was true also in his love and 
 care for this last church of his active pastorate. Here he made his home 
 until called home, and very precious indeed to the whole church is the 
 memory of his gentle, loyal, faithful life. In connection with this middle 
 period of the church life, three names are worthy of especial mention. 
 
 REV J. W. HARGKAVE. 
 
 James Sears, Abel Hinckley and Hiram Welch all gave the strength of 
 their manhood in the service of the church. Their connection with it 
 covers the years from 1834 to 1884, and all three served the church most 
 faithfully as deacons. - —^- 
 
 Since the pastorate of Rev. J. B. Allen the following men have served 
 the church as pastors : Rev. W. H. Rice from 1867 to 1868, Rev. C. L. 
 Hamlin from 1868 to 1872, Rev. J. A. Bates from 1872 to 1874, Rev. E. 
 
ARCHWOOD AVENUE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 35 
 
 H. Votaw from 1874 to 1877, Rev. J. W. Hargrave from 1878 to 1882, 
 Rev. J. M. Merrill from 1882 to 1889, Rev. George H. Peeke from 1890 
 to 1893, Rev. J. W. Hargrave from 1894. 
 
 During the first pastorate of Rev. J. W. Hargrave the old church 
 property on Newburg street was sold, lots bought on Arch wood and the 
 new^ church and parsonage erected. The ministry of Rev. J. M. Merrill 
 was marked by steady growth, the abundant fruit of his labors being 
 still manifest. During the pastorate of Rev. George H. Peeke, who served 
 the church for three years and a half with distinguished ability, the par- 
 sonage was enlarged and greatly needed improvements made in the 
 church building. Since the return of Mr. Hargrave, in January, 1894, 
 the church, in common with others, has been feeling very keenly the 
 financial depression. It, however, during '94, met its current expenses, 
 reduced somewhat its indebtedness, and more than doubled its benevo- 
 lent contributions, and members have been received at almost every Com- 
 munion season. While still feeling most keenly the financial stringency, 
 the church is planning for and hopefully expecting the enlarged building 
 which is absolutely necessary to its future growth and efficiency. Con- 
 siderable money has already been pledged for enlargement and the work 
 will be undertaken at the earliest possible moment.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 FRANKLIN AVE., COR. TAYLOR ST. 
 
 II^HE Church was organized under the title of "The First Presby- 
 
 |y terian Church of Brooklyn. Cuyahoga County, Ohio." The first 
 
 entry in the ancient Church Record Book begins as follows : 
 
 "record of the first PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN BROOKLYN, OHIO." 
 
 "Whereas, In the Providence of God it became clearly the duty 
 of professing Christians in this vicinity to organize a church in Brooklyn 
 Village ( so called ), after praj-erful consideration of the subject, a season 
 of fasting and prayer was appointed by those who expected to unite jn 
 s»iid organization, to be observed on Thursday, the 18th of December, 
 1834." 
 
 This meeting was held in a brick school house on Vermont street. At 
 this meeting the Rev. John Keep of Oberlin was the moderator, and steps 
 were taken for the immediate organization of the church ; three days 
 after (December 21, 1834'), the organization was effected, Rev. Mr. 
 Keep officiating. Forty persons* covenanted with each other and with 
 their God in this organization, as follows : 
 
 Mrs. Sarah Appleby, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Lewis, 
 
 Levi Beebe, Mr. and Mrs. B. S. L3^man, 
 
 Mr. and Mrs- D. Buxton, Elmira Lyon, 
 
 Cordelia H. Buxton (Mrs. S. H. Sheldon) Jane Maguire, 
 
 Mary A. Buxton, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Page, 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Newcomb Carter, Maria Culver, 
 
 James F. Clark, Mrs. Eunice Smith, 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Ezekiel Folsom, Mr. and Mrs. B. Stedman, 
 
 A. P. G. Hammond, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Stedman, 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. John Harris, Anson Southerland, 
 
 Phoebe Harris, Esther Taft, 
 
 N. R. Haskell, Catherine Taylor (Mrs. M. C Lufkin), 
 
 Martha M. Hill, Mrs. Ursula Taylor, 
 
 Amorett H. Hulbut, Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Wheat, 
 
 Elizabeth Folsom, William Wheat. 
 
 Public worship was first held in the brick school house on Vermont 
 street. A temporary house of worship was erected and dedicated May 
 3, 1835, in the rear of the lot southeast corner of Detroit and State 
 streets. The church, under its first organization, was served by the 
 following ministers: Rev. John Keep, Rev. J. D. Pickands, Rev. H. A. 
 Reed and Rev. Wm. P. Russell. 
 
 *One of this number is vet living and is still connected with the Church — Mrs. S. H. 
 Sheldon.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

 In February, 1838, forty-four members of the church withdrew for 
 the purpose of organizing a Congregational church. In the summer of 
 1841, a reunion of the two churches was effected on a Congregatio- 
 Presbyterian basis, the eldership being dispensed with and a committee 
 being established, the church continuing its connection with the 
 Presbytery. 
 
 With this reunion commenced the pastoral labors of Rev. S. B. 
 
 KEY. J. W. MALCOLM. 
 
 Canfield. His ministry closed in the fall of 1844. He was succeeded by 
 Rev. C. L. Watson, whose pastorate terminated September, 1848. With 
 this pastorate the church ceased to be connected with the Presbvtery, 
 and became practically an independent Congregational body. 
 
 In December of the same year, Rev. Jas. A. Thome entered upon pas- 
 toral labors, which were continued for a period of nearly twenty-three 
 
42 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 years. In the early part of his ministr}' a brick church was erected on 
 the front part of the lot, and was dedicated August 14, 1851. On the 
 twenty-seventh day of February, 1856, Mr. Thome w^as formally in- 
 stalled as pastor of the church. 
 
 On the eighteenth of October, 1857, the church, which had been 
 unassociated since severing its connection with the Presbytery, decided 
 by vote to unite with the Cleveland Congregational Conference, and 
 being received by that body, has since been known as the First Congre- 
 gational church. Mr. Thome resigned his pastorate and w^as dismissed 
 by advice of Council, July 2, 1871. He died at Chattanooga, Tenn., 
 March 4, 1873. 
 
 On the nineteenth of February, 1872. the church called Rev. S. H. 
 Lee to its pastorate. Accepting the call, he was installed June 6 of the 
 same year. During Mr. Lee's pastorate, the mission Sabbath-school, on 
 Detroit street, which previously had been union in character, was form- 
 ally adopted by the church in 1873, and a new one established on 
 Harbor street in 1874. 
 
 In August, 1874, Rev. S. B. Shipman was invited by the church to 
 take charge of the work in these missions. As a result of his labors, the 
 Franklin Avenue Congregational Church was organized from the Detroit 
 Street mission, with thirty members, November 21, 1876. 
 
 Mr. Lee served the church until September 24, 1878, when, having 
 resigned the pastorate, he was dismissed by advice of Council. After his 
 dismission, the church was served for brief periods by different ministers 
 until March 7, 1880, when the ministerial services of Rev. H. M. Tenney 
 commenced, his formal installation taking place April 27 of the same 
 year. 
 
 During Mr. Tenney's ministry the question of a new location and 
 church building was agitated. The building of anew railway in 1881, 
 necessitating the sale of the Harbor street property, opened the way for 
 the purchase of the present property. Plans for a new building were 
 adopted, and on April 23, 1883, the cornerstone of the building we are 
 now occupying was laid ; the front part of it was furnished at a cost 
 (including land) of $36,000, and was dedicated December 20, 1885. 
 
 The abandoning of Harbor Street Mission led to the organization of 
 a Sunday-school on Train street, which, in time, was succeeded by Cyril 
 Chapel and Grace Congregational Church. 
 
 Mr. Tenney, after a nine years' pastorate, resigned, to accept a call 
 to the Second Congregational Church of Oberlin, in May, 1889. His 
 ministry was successful and loving, and his dismissal was agreed to with 
 extreme reluctance. He was succeeded by Rev. A. E. Thomson, who was 
 installed October 2, 1889. 
 
 During Mr. Thomson's pastorate the work on the new auditorium 
 was begun, the cornerstone being laid in April, 1891. He resigned 
 March 25, to accept a call to the First Congregational Church, Yankton, 
 South Dakota, and was dismissd by Council April 13, 1892. 
 
 The ministerial services of the present pastor, Rev. John W.Malcolm, 
 
FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 43 
 
 commenced September 11, 1892. The auditorium was finished during 
 the second year of his ministry, at a cost of $28,000, and was formally 
 dedicated December 17, 1893.

EUCLID AVENUE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, 
 Corner Logan and Euclid Avenues. 
 
 [j^HIS church is the outgrowth of a Sunday-school started in 1841, in 
 an old stone school house on Euclid road, between what are now 
 Doan and Republic streets. Horace Ford, who was one of the 
 
 organizers of that school, has been connected with it to this day, nearly 
 
 fifty-five years of continuous service. 
 
 FROM A PHOTOGRAPH BY HENRY M. LADD. 
 
 On November 30, 1843, a Presbyterian church of nineteen members 
 was formed, eighteen of whom were Congregationalists by birth and 
 training. The old stone school house continued for a short time to be the 
 place of meeting, but the enterprise depended on obtaining temporary 
 places and preachers for two years ; the first settled pastorate being that 
 of Rev. Anthony McReynolds, which began October 19, 1845; and ten 
 days after steps were taken to begin the building of a church, 40 x 60, which 
 is still standing on Doan street near Euclid, and which was dedicated 
 Thursday, September 29, 1849, having cost $3,300. 
 
 The church was incorporated as the "First Presbyterian Church of 
 
EUDLID AVENUE CONGREGATIONVL CHURCH' 
 
EUCLID AVENUE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 55 
 
 East Cleveland" December 22, 1847, at which time the membership was 
 sixty-two. 
 
 About December 10, 1848, Rev. C. L. Watson succeeded Rev. Mr. 
 McReynolds, and served about eighteen months, being followed by Rev. 
 C. W. Torrey, who was pastor about nine years, during which time the 
 church separated from Presbytery on account of the slavery question, 
 and was known as an independent Presbyterian church. 
 
 H. M. LADD, D.D. 
 
 Rev. A. D. Barber, who was employed May 5, 1858, as an assistant 
 to Mr. Torrey, was engaged as full pastor from March 24, 1859, to May 
 5, 1860. 
 
 The Rev. Albert M.Richardson, from Austinburg, almost immediately 
 succeeded him, and under his pastorate two important changes were 
 made, first, in the name of the church, which appears in 1862 as the 
 "First Congregational Church of East Cleveland;" and, second, the 
 building at the corner of Doan street became too small, and July 3, 1866, 
 
56| 
 
 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 the "cornerstone of a new building at Logan street was laid, and the 
 edifice completed and dedicated January 8, 1867. That building was 
 50x88 feet, of brick with stone trimmings, with a chapel in the rear 
 28x40 feet; the audience room had a seating capacity of 600, and the 
 total cost was about $25,000. In its day the building was considered 
 one of the finest, as it was the largest in the neighborhood. 
 
 MISS MIRIAM SMITH, FIRST LADY MEMBER OF AN INTERNATIONAL C. E. CON. COM. 
 
 The Rev. J. E. Twitchell of Mansfield, 0., became pastor March 1, 
 1870, on a salary of $3,000, which was increased to $4,000 when he was 
 installed on JulylO, 1874. 
 
 The Ecclesiastical Society changed its corporate name to the "Euclid 
 Avenue Congregational Church," on January 4, 1872. 
 
 After a pastorate of twelve years, during which many prominent men 
 
EUCLID AVENUE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 57 
 
 -were added to the church, Mr. Twitchell left in November, 1882, for New 
 Haven, Conn., having seen the membership reach 700. 
 
 Rev. Henry M. Ladd began his work May 1, 1883, being installed on 
 the twenty-ninth of the same month. He came fresh from a successful 
 African exploration under the American Missionary Association, with a 
 trained skill in leadership of men and affairs, so that the years of his 
 ministr}' have been a period of marked activity on the part of pastor and 
 people. 
 
 The church, which had outgrown its first edifice in seventeen years, 
 had in the same period exceeded the capacity of the second house, and the 
 task of erecting a building of solid stone, which should "be good enough 
 for the rich man and not too good for the poor man," was begun. The 
 result was the present beautiful structure, homelike, yet attractive in all 
 its parts. The large and beautiful windows were the first of their kind in 
 the city, and those in memory of Captain Bradley and his daughter are 
 especially interesting, both as rich works of art and as showing for the 
 first time that glass could be folded so as to represent drapery. The new 
 house was completed at a cost of $35,000, though it could not now be 
 duplicated for twice that amount. It was dedicated, free of debt, Sep- 
 tember 25, 1887. 
 
 But this church, which has become the "mother" of churches, was not to 
 be satisfied with a splendid home of its own ; it had already tasted of 
 the delights of mission work when, in 1872^ a Sunday-school was organ- 
 ized under the lead of B. F. Whiteman, in the homes about the corner of 
 East Madison avenue and Quincy street, which grew so as to need a 
 house for itself. One was built for it by the Euclid avenue people and dedi- 
 cated January 1, 1875, and a church of 22 members organized, with 
 Rev. 0. D. Fisher established as minister over it. 
 
 ^ A second enterprise on Hough avenue resulted in the organization of a 
 church at the corner of Hough avenue and Crawford road, under the 
 name of the Hough Avenue Branch of the Euclid Avenue Congregational 
 Church, February 11,1890, with 46 members, which became independ- 
 ent March 18, 1891, with 111 members and Rev. I. W. Metcalf pastor. 
 A third enterprise was undertaken at the corner of Doan and Crawford, 
 called the North Branch of Euclid Avenue Congregational Church; which 
 was afterward moved to the corner of Cullison and Crawford and named 
 Park Congregational Church, with M. L. Berger as pastor and C. M. 
 Preston as Sunday-school superintendent, with 47 members, now 165. 
 
 A fourth church grew out of work at Lake View, begun in 1887. as 
 mission effort for the Italians, later it was known as "The Lake View 
 Assembly of Euclid Avenue Church," and at last was formally organized 
 as Lake View Congregational Church on December 20, 1894, with 115 
 members and Rev. A. B. Cristy pastor- 
 
 A fifth enterprise was carried on for nearly five years, 1885-1889, at 
 the corner of Woodland Hills avenue and Arthur street which, though 
 it grew rapidly, was given up for the time being for lack of suitable ac- 
 commodations.

 By sucli enterprises this church has shown a true sense of its 
 responsibilities to the neighborhood about it, and has done more to estab- 
 lish Congregational principles among us than any other single church. 
 
 Dr. Ladd's pastorate has also been blessed in those constant acces- 
 sions to membership which encourage a minister's heart and strengthen 
 his hands. The church has also been led to take a leading part in several 
 important national gatherings, notably the meeting of the American 
 Board in October, 1888, and of the American Missionary Association in 
 1891, and of the Woman's Board of the Interior, in October, 1895. 
 Naturally the church has been alive with missionary spirit and numbers, 
 active missionaries among its members. 
 
 The regular benevolences of the church have been among the largest 
 in the state, in addition to the private assistance rendered by individual 
 members to innumerable charities. 
 
 The tenth anniversary of the present pastorate was fittingly observed! 
 by a large gathering of friends at home and from abroad, and the pres^ 
 entation of beautiful and costly presents to Dr. Ladd and his family. 
 The speeches made on this occasion have been preserved in pamphlet 
 form. From October 26 to November 2, 1893, was observed as a semi- 
 centennial jubilee week, and at that time a beautiful souvenir was pre- 
 pared by Hon. Elroy M. Avery, giving an elaborate history of the 
 enterprise and preserving the pictures of the leading workers for future 
 generations. 
 
 Among the effective workers for our church life in the citv are many 
 members of this church, as Mr. J. W, Moore, for three years registrar 
 of Cleveland Conference; H. Clark Ford, the only president of our City 
 Missionary Society; L. V. Denis, president of the C. E. Union for Cleve- 
 land and vicinity; Miss Miriam Smith, secretary of the C. E. Committee 
 for the Cleveland C. E. Convention; Rev. J. G. Eraser, secretary of the 
 Ohio Home Missionary Society; President Thwing, of Western Reserve 
 University; Horace Ford, for twenty years registrar of Cleveland Confer- 
 ence and secretary of our Bohemian Mission Board.

PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 PLYMOUTH church originated in the Old Stone (Presbyterian) 
 church in 1850. At that time, Rev. E. H. Nevin was conducting 
 revival meetings in the Old Stone church. He was a reformer and 
 a pronounced Abolitionist. Benajah Barker, who had been a strong anti- 
 
 REY. L. L. TAYLOR. 
 
 slavery man, was converted under Mr. Nevin's preaching, and enlisted 
 several members of the church with convictions like his own to go out 
 and found a new church, with Mr. Nevin as their pastor. Those were 
 days when Cleveland was a pro-slavery town — when the pastor of one

 of the leading churches hid behind a church column while a fugitive slave 
 was arrested in the church and carried away again into bondage. The 
 new church was organized with thirty members. It was called the Free 
 Presbyterian church, and later, the Third Presbyterian church. It was 
 independent in Constitution, but its mode of government w^as Presbyte- 
 rian, until August 17, 1852, when it changed its name and became 
 Plymouth Congregational Church. It then numbered sixty-nine mem- 
 bers. Among the church principles as early formulated was this: " This 
 church regards slave-holding as a sin against God and a crime against 
 man; as intrinsically unrighteous, utterly opposed to the law of God 
 
 PLYMOUTH CHURCH INTERIOR. 
 
 and the teachings and spirit of the Gospel. Therefore this church will 
 not fellowship slave-holders, the abettors of slavery or slave-holding 
 churches." 
 
 The first church building was the Round church on Wood street, 
 which had been vacated by the "Millerites." The church removed from 
 this building to a new church, then the finest in the city, erected by a few 
 of the memlDcrs, on the corner of Euclid avenue and Erie street, where 
 the Hickox Block now stands— and which was afterwards sold to the 
 First Baptist Society for much less than its cost. An old and uminished 
 church standing on the corner of Prospect street and Oak Place was 
 fitted up, where the church worshipped for nearly twenty years, until the 
 
74 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 commodious lot corner of Prospect and Perry streets was purchased, 
 and later, one of the finest and most substantial church buildings in the 
 city was erected, and dedicated October 8, 1882. The church proper 
 seats one thousand, and has a large chapel connected, with an audience 
 room, Sunday-school room, church parlors, kitchen, pastor's study, etc. 
 
 Rev. James C. White was the second pastor, for seven years, from 
 1855 to 1861. His preaching was evangelistic, drawing crowds to hear 
 him, and it was during this time that there were large accessions to the 
 church, and a Sunday-school of five hundred scholars, with L. M. Pitkin 
 as the superintendent ; one hundred in the infant class, with Mrs. L. P. 
 Mellen as teacher. The third pastor was Rev. Dr. Samuel Wolcott, a 
 man of national reputation for ability as a preacher. The fourth pas- 
 tor, Rev. Charles Terry Collins — whose pastorate vsras cut short by his 
 tragic death — left a sacred monument to his memory in the beautiful 
 church edifice which he planned. His saintlj' biography, published after 
 his death, with the title "In His Name," says of him, "Chivalrous, 
 saintly, a natural orator, a missionary genius and a leader of men." 
 
 Rev. George R. Leavitt, D. D., entered upon the pastorate in April, 
 1885, and resigned in February, 1894, on account of ill health. He will 
 always be remembered with affectionate regard. The present pastor. 
 Rev. Livingston L. . Taylor, commenced his pastorate in September, 
 1894. 
 
 Plymouth Church, while never financially strong, has been in all 
 its history known as progressive, enterprising, with great social activi- 
 ties — a recruiting station for earnest Christian workers who were con- 
 stantly going out to organize and supply other enterprises. For several 
 years it sustained a flourishing mission work in the Olivet chapel, corner 
 of Hill and Commercial streets, out of which grew the work which has 
 become national and has attained such wide proportions of Bohemian 
 missions, under Rev. Dr. Schauffler. It was the foster mother of Mount 
 Zion Congregational Church; it organized the Swedish Congregational 
 Church, and furnished a large number of the original members of the 
 Woodland Avenue Presbyterian Church. 
 
 Among the prominent men in Plymouth Church are George Hall, 
 piano dealer, well known for manj' years on the Western Reserve; S. C. 
 Smith, wholesale merchant and connected with the Associated Chari- 
 ties ; L. M. Pitkin, president Variety Iron Works; L. F. Mellen, for 
 many years superintendent City Infirmary department, and President 
 Bohemian Board; John J. Shipherd, banker, owner and promoter of 
 street railroads; J. G. W. Cowles, real estate dealer, formerly a Congre- 
 gational clergyman; M. M. Hobart, attorney; W. H. Doering, wholesale 
 merchant; D. Charlesworth, a leading florist; A. W. Strong, invest- 
 ment agent; J. W. Tyler, attorney; W. B. Davis, merchant; Geo. L.

 THE OLIVET CHAPEL MISSION WORK. 
 
 One of the most important and successful Congregational missions 
 was that of Olivet chapel, corner of Hill and Commercial streets. It 
 was the outgrowth of a mission Sunday-school organized by Plymouth 
 Church in 1869. When Rev. Charles Terry Collins became the pastor of 
 Plymouth Church, coming directly from a great mission work in New 
 York city, he entered at once into the Plymouth Church mission work 
 and the building of a new and commodious chapel, which was named 
 *' Olivet," because of Mr. Collins' work and love for the New York 
 " Olivet Mission Chapel," where he had spent the first years of his minis- 
 try. The chapel with its furnishings cost about $4,000. Dr. Schauffler, mis- 
 sionary of the American Board in Bohemia, who was now in this country, 
 where he would be detained at least a year by the health of his wife, was 
 invited to come to Cleveland by Plymouth Church and take charge of 
 Olivet chapel. The fact that Dr. Schauffler could speak EngHsh, German, 
 Bohemian and Italian languages, he could reach the various nation- 
 alities in that part of the city. He soon found that there were 20,000 
 Bohemians located in other parts of the city, and no Protestant minister 
 who could preach to them in their native tongue. He devoted his whole 
 time to the Bohemian work, from which has grown out the great 
 national work among the foreign population of the West. Rev. J. 
 E. Carroll, father of Rev. C. W.Carroll, succeeded Dr. Schauffler as pastor 
 of Olivet chapel, with his wife as missionary. April 1884 Rev. John 
 Doane was called to the pastorate. He was ordained and installed 
 at Olivet chapel, September 11, 1884, and a church, branch of Plymouth 
 church, organized and remained until the mission was given up and Mr. 
 Doane became associate pastor with Dr. Leavitt at Plymouth Church. 
 Olivet then had ninety-two members. The Sunday-school enrollment 
 was between 400 and 500, with an average attendance of between 250 
 and 300. The Cleveland Bohemian Mission Board, the Cleveland Evan- 
 gelization Society, with its manifold work, the Men's Home, the Gospel 
 Wagon, etc., are the outgrowth of Olivet chapel and its Plymouth Church 
 workers. 
 
THE IRVING STREET CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 T^HE religious community from whose old records this short his- 
 torical sketch is compiled was originally a church of the Bible 
 Christian denomination, under an affiliated conference with 
 Canada. 
 
 This sect originated October 29, 1815, in England, in connection with 
 the labors of William O'Bryan, a Methodist local preacher, its distinctive 
 feature being its liberal policy, the laity having equal rights with minis- 
 ters in all Church courts. 
 
 IRVING STREET CHURCH. 
 
 In 1831, at the urgent request of friends who had emigrated to 
 America, two missionaries were sent out, John Hicks Eynon to Canada 
 west, Francis Wetherall to Prince Edward Island, and in 1846 George 
 Kippin to Ohio. 
 
 After four years, John Chappie succeeded the first missionary to Ohio, 
 who still lives at Chagrin Falls, and organized the Orange Street Society 
 in October, 1852. The membership was ten ("most of whom have fallen 
 asleep") who met at first in the house of Josiah Venning, who is now 
 
IRVING STREET CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 85 
 
 senior deacon of the church, and afterwards with Richard Wooldridge, 
 being a more commodious residence. 
 
 The first church was a frame structure erected on the present site 
 during the pastorate of Joseph Iloidge, in which worship was conducted 
 for five years. This was then abandoned for the larger and more com- 
 modious building of to-day, which was dedicated in 1859. 
 
 In 1855 this Ohio work was transferred to the newly organized Mis- 
 
 T. A. DAVIDSON. 
 
 sionary Society of Canada, with which it had stood identified, and from 
 whence it had drawn ministerial supply. The pastorate, limited by rule 
 to four years, was efficiently and worthily filled by W. R. Roach from 
 1860 for but two years, in which the work of financial consolidation was 
 successfully completed. 
 
 fe. In 1862 William Hooper began a work which ended in a year, and 
 was/ollowed by M. Pelt and G. Hycraft. 
 
86 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 The advent of John Pinch in 1865 to this field was amid almost hope- 
 lessness, for the w^eakened church was burdened by a debt of $3,000, which, 
 however, he raised in the short space of one year. 
 
 In 1866 this church asked for and obtained its independence from the 
 large circuit of which it had formed a part, and began its career with 
 fiftv members. Its pastors were : Sencebaugh, Beer, Hodnett, Courtice, 
 Joliiffe and Nott. 
 
 During the pastorate of the last the most substantial progress was 
 made, and it closed with the regret of all when he felt called to accept the 
 editorial chair of the Observer, the denominational organ. 
 
 For three years S. J. Allen held office and was succeeded by Francis M.

 During the year 1884 the question of "union " agitated this church as 
 well as the whole Canadian conference, upon which discussion the society 
 "Resolved, That we do not unite with the ' Methodist Church ' in the Do- 
 minion of Canada." 
 
 Further steps were taken to find suitable church relation in this coun- 
 try, resulting in the unanimous choice of Congregationalism, which the 
 society determined upon, May 11, 1884. 
 
 "Resolution I., That we unite with the Congregational Church," 
 which, with other appended clauses, was signed by all the members of the 
 church in good and regular standing. 
 
 This request was considered at district meeting and conference, the 
 following resolution being passed : 
 
 RESOLUTION OF CANADIAN CONFERENCE. 
 
 That we comply with the request of the Cleveland district, and per- 
 mit them to withdraw from this conference and also to appoint ministers 
 there on each station; but should either ol the ministers desire to take his 
 letters of standing, the president be hereby authorized to give such letters, 
 or if any of the ministers desire to remain in connection with the Metho- 
 dist Church, we recommend that they be connected with the London con- 
 ference, but resident in the United States. 
 
 E. Roberts, President. 
 
 Immediately the church determined on consummating the union with 
 the Congregational Church, for which letters missive were issued. 
 
 Pursuant to letters missive an ecclesiastical council convened at the 
 Irving Street Bible Christian Church, Cleveland, Ohio, on the tenth day of 
 September. 1884. 
 
 Rev. H. M. Tenney called the meeting to order and read the letter 
 missive. Rev. H. M. Ladd was chosen moderator and Rev. S. B. Ship- 
 man scribe, the object of the council being to consider the proposal of 
 the Irving Street Bible Christian to become a Congregational Church. 
 
 The committee presented the following, which was unanimously 
 adopted : Resolved, That the Ecclesiastical Council representing the 
 Congregational Churches of Cleveland and vicinity does most heartily 
 
IRVING STREET CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 87 
 
 approve the steps taken by the chiircli till now known as Ebenezer Bible 
 Christian (but now to bear the name Irving Street Congregational 
 Church), with a view to joining the Congregational body; that we are 
 much pleased with the statements made to the council by church and 
 Pastor Rev. F. M. Whitlock, and that we warmly welcome them to the 
 fellowship of our body, confidently looking for increasing prosperity and 
 strength in the promising field of labor in which God has placed them.

 Rev. F. M. Whitlock severed his connection with the church in 
 April, 1887. The church was embarrassed financially and Rev. W. M. 
 Stanford supplied the church till April, 1888. 
 
 Rev. R. Quaife then assumed the duty and responsibility of pastor, 
 and by his energetic labors the church building was thoroughly restored 
 at an outlay of over $2,000. In March, 1891, Rev. R. Quaife severed his 
 connection with the church, and in May, 1891, Rev. George Hill was 
 called to be the pastor and teacher. Mr. Hill labored with the church till 
 October, 1894, when he resigned the pastorate. 
 
 Since Rev. G. Hills' pastorate the pulpit has been supplied by different 
 ministers and students from Oberlin College, till April, 1895, when the 
 church formally called Mr. J. A. Davidson, a student at Oberlin College, to 
 be our pastor and teacher. Mr. Davidson assumed these duties July 1, 
 1895. On November 21, 1895, a council of Congregational churches 
 and ministers met at Irving Street Congregational Church and Mr. J. A. 
 Davidson was duly examined and ordained. He has entered into the 
 work with enthusiasm. Every department of the church is prosperous, 
 especially the Young Men's Club. 
 
 The church is out of debt and is thankful for the financial aid received 
 from the Ohio Home Missionary Society in the past. They hope to be 
 self-supporting in the future.

 HISTORICAL STATEMENT. 
 
 ^HE Church was organized, by Council, November 13, 1859, in the 
 brick sctiool-house on the site of the present Tremont school

 PLAN OF MAIN FLOOR. 
 
 THE BUILDING. 
 
 The edifice, while thoroughly dignified and churchlyin appearance, is 
 unique in its plan of construction. It has been called "an epoch-making 
 church building" and "the most finely equipped church in America." Its 
 general plan is given herewith. 
 
 The extreme length of the building, on Jennings avenue, is 132 feet, 
 and its depth, on Starkweather avenue, is 120 feet, with a projection ot 
 eight feet additional for the organ. 
 
 The building covers 15,520 square feet. It contains 16 rooms on the 
 
PILGRIM CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 97 
 
 ground floor, 12 rooms on the main floor, 15 rooms on the gallery floor, 
 a total of 43 separate apartments, besides ample halls, vestibules, etc. 
 Its cubic contents are 720,000 cubic feet. The auditorium will seat com- 
 fortably — on the main floor, 700 people; in the chorus addition, 100 ; 
 in the gallery, 300; in the supplementary gallery, over the corridor, 150; 
 a total of 1,250. The Sunday-school rooms are separated from the 
 church auditorium only by a sliding partition, by means of w^hich the 
 two apartments may be thrown together for special services. This gives 
 capacity for the combined auditorium, of 2,400. By using class rooms 
 and corridors, 3,000 people can be accommodated. 
 
 PLAN OF GROUND FLOOR. 
 
 The lower floor of the entire structure is given to the social and in- 
 stitutional work. It contains a reading room and library, 30x30 feet;

FRANKLIN AVENUE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 RANKLIN AVENUE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, although 
 [^^ among the younger children of our local denominational sister- 
 hood, has roots running back into the fifties. It is the outgrowth 
 of a Sunday-school started on Twenty-third avenue (then Washington 
 
 KEY. H. O. ALLEN. 
 
 street) in 1857, by Messrs. Noyes and Trescott. The sessions were|held 
 in the old school house, now removed, and were conducted by Mr. Noyes 
 upon a strictly undenominational basis, the various churchesjfurnishing

 teachers as needed. The eflforts of the superintendent and teachers were 
 supplemented from time to time by preaching services conducted by Elder 
 Prosser. 
 
 Owing to the gradually increasing number of workers furnished by 
 the First Congregational Church, the school, about the year 1866, fell 
 under her control, and through the untiring efforts of Mr. S. H. Sheldon, 
 Mr. J. A. Redington, Mr. A. G. Hopkinson and Mr. Edgar Slatt was 
 presented with a new building constructed especially for the work upon a 
 lot on Detroit street, nearly opposite St. Paul street. In these new sur- 
 roundings and upon this new site the school grew very rapidly, and for 
 ten years, under the superintendency of Mr. Sheldon, Mr. Hopkinson, Mr. 
 Forbes and Mr. Wilmot, deepened in spiritual power. 
 
 On account of the rapid growth of the city westward and of the 
 evident desirability of soon organizing a church, the school in the year 
 1876 purchased a lot 200 feet in depth by 44 feet in width on the corner 
 of Franklin and Waverly avenues, the present site of the church, and 
 moved its building upon it. About this time, Rev. S. B. Shipman, who 
 had recently been called from At water, O., by the First Congregational 
 Church to take charge of Mission work on Harbor street, was given 
 charge of the school. Mr. Shipman threw his strength into the work, and 
 within a few months, on November 22, 1876, brought about the organi- 
 zation of Franklin Avenue Congregational Church, with thirty charter 
 members, fourteen of whom were furnished by the First Church and the 
 remainder by the school itself and the Harbor street mission. 
 
 From the day of its organization this church has been characterized 
 by a marked unity of spirit and an untiring zeal in the Master's work. 
 Beginning with a debt of $2,150 on their lot, this devoted little band, 
 composed wholly of poor people, under the leadership of Rev. S. B. 
 Shipman, their pastor, within thirteen ^-^ears paid all indebtedness and 
 raised a sufficiently large sura to warrant the erection of a church 
 building. In 1889 this edifice was begun in most auspicious circum- 
 stances, but before the year should close the flock were destined to 
 fall under a heavy cloud. On July 19, when the building was only half 
 completed, the hand of death removed their pastor almost without warn- 
 ing, leaving them with a heavy responsibility and no shepherd. For a 
 time it seemed to many that the work could not go on, but the devotion 
 of too many hearts had been enlisted to suffer even so great a calamity to 
 long check determination. A committee was at once appointed to 
 secure a new pastor, and on October 1, 1889, but little more than 
 two months after the death of Mr. Shipman, Rev. Herbert 0. Allen, who 
 had just graduated at Oberlin Seminary, accepted their call +o the pas- 
 torate. At the death of Mr. Shipman there were 148 members enrolled. 
 During the present pastorate the enrollment has risen by the addition of 
 199 members, to 267. The work is generally flourishing, and the people 
 vv^ho still love to call themselves " The Little Church'' are yet of the 
 faith that God has given them a distinct and blessed mission to accom- 
 plish.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF MOUNT ZION CONGREGA- 
 TIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 I^ ^IVE Christian friends met at a private house, June 8, 1864, to take 
 
 1^*1 into consideration the organization of a new church. Having: 
 
 previously studied and given the subject prayerful thought, they 
 
 entered freely into the discussion, and decided that Congregationalism 
 
 would best meet their wants and necessities. From this time a regular 
 
 w^eekly prayer-meeting was held, and as often as possible preaching on. 
 
 MT. ZION CHURCH.. 
 
 the Sabbath. On September 11, 1864, the Mount Zion Congregational 
 Church was formally organized in Plymouth Church, then on Prospect 
 street, between Sheriff and Erie, when nineteen Christian men and women 
 took upon themselves the solemn covenant of the Church. The day was 
 one of unusual interest, not only to the new, but to the old church which 
 had so kindly opened its doors and said, "Come, you are welcome." 
 All the Congregational churches of Cleveland were represented in the 
 council by their pastors and delegates. Rev. J. A. Thomes and the Rev. 
 Dr. Wolcot, with their churches, were the true friends of the new churchy 
 and by their counsel, their means and good cheer never failed to give en- 
 couragement. While Mt. Zion owes much to her sister churches, she 
 especially regards Plymouth Church as her "foster mother," and cannot

 forget the cordial, warm send-off at the old church in 1864, supplemented 
 since by a warm-hearted, brotherly love. 
 
 First minister was Rev. J. H. Muse. 
 
 Soon after the organization, the church succeeded in erecting a very 
 •desirable brick meeting-house on Erie street. But in view of better loca- 
 tion, and a debt necessarily heavy for them, they sold the property for 
 ^8,000, and bought the present site on Maple street, and built a neat and 
 •cosy house, free from debt. About this time the church suffered greatly 
 from various causes. Institutions to meet the wants of those who had 
 been oppressed were looked upon by many with distrust, and especially 
 those who came to this city, because they had heard nothing of Congre- 
 gationalism. Internal dissensions soon crept in, which seemed to 
 
 REV. DANIEL W. SHAW. 
 
 "threaten the very existence of the church; nothing was more discourag- 
 ing than the loss of some of the most energetic members by change 
 of residf-nce. The pulpit was supplied by various ministers till Septem- 
 l>er. 1873, when Rev. C. E. Ruddick became pastor, and continued till 
 1877. In 1878, Rev. A. J. DeHart became pastor. 
 
 Brother Johns succeeded Bro. DeHart as pastor; after his resigna- 
 tion, Brother S. S. Calkins administered to the spiritual wants of Mt. 
 Zion till Brother S. N. Brown was secured for thechurch. Brother Brown, 
 lifter an engagement of three months, was made pastor of the church. 
 He remained on the field about three years and a half, and was successful 
 in rebuilding and beautilying the ch.rch edifice. In 1889 he was called 
 to Washington, and was succeeded by the Rev. Daniel W. Shaw, the 
 present pastor, under whose hand the Church bas grown and prospered.

 [^HEN they that feared the Lord spake often one to another." 
 This was the case with a little band of Christians who were 
 without a church home, and so met regularly at the house of 
 one of their number, a devout woman who lived on Lincoln avenue. The 
 
 KEY. D. T. THOMAS. 
 
 attention of the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church was called to 
 their efforts, and on May 15, 1874, a committee was appointed to visit 
 the (scM:alled) Lincoln Avenue Mission, with the view of rendering such

 assistance as was possible. This committee, on July 24, 1874, was 
 further instructed to "look at property with the view of purchasing" for 
 the establishment of the Mission in a suitable building. Through their 
 efforts a site was purchased, and a chapel erected and opened for use, 
 January 2, 1875. The Sunday school was also organized on the same day, 
 with Mr. B. F. Whitman ot the Euclid Avenue Church as superintendent. 
 Several others from this Church were also very much interested in the 
 Mission, and gave much of their time to it. This interest has been sus- 
 tained through the years, and has been one of the causes of its continued 
 prosperity. Though other enterprises have been started by them, they 
 have not forgotten their first one, nor has this Church ceased to remem- 
 ber the kindly interest taken in it by them. 
 
 Alter the organization of the Sunday-school, the Euclid Avenue Church 
 (March 12, 1875) authorized the "committee to raise funds by voluntary 
 subscriptions for the preaching of the gospel in the East Madison Avenue 
 Chapel," and on May 22. 1875, the directors and Missionary Commit- 
 tee of the Mission recommended "that immediate steps be taken towards 
 the organization of a Congregational Church." In response to this rec- 
 ommendation, the Chri^tian people of the vicinity met in the chapel. 
 May 25, and took the steps which resulted in the formal organization of 
 the Church, July 3, 1875, with Rev. O. D. Fisher as its pastor. Twenty- 
 two persons constituted the charter membership of the Church., Rev. 0. 
 D. Fisher was well fitted for the work of building up the Church, and he 
 labored well and earnestly in this field for ten years, seeing some results 
 in the added membership and the blessing the Church was to the commu- 
 nity. He resigned in March, 1885. to accept a call to another field. 
 
 He was succeeded by Rev. Herbert Melville Tenney. July 26, 1885. 
 During his ministry the Sunday-school becameso crowded that the chapel 
 had to be enlarged, which was done, and the present edifice was dedi- 
 cated Februarj' 2, 1889. He also organized the Young People's Society 
 of Christian Endeavor, which has proven such a blessing to every 
 church in which it has come. After a pastorate of nearly four years, he 
 resigned to accept a call to Grinnell, Iowa, on April 28, 1889. Rev. Wra. 
 L. Tenney succeeded him September 2,1889. This chu ch has been blessed 
 with a worthy succession in its pastors. Each has seemed to be just 
 the one needed at the time. Rev. Wm. L. Tenney entered into the work 
 with all his soul. and God blessed his labors. He endeared himself to all by 
 his noble qualities, and when his health gave way through overwork, the 
 people showed their love lor him in granting him a six months" rest from 
 his work, with the hope that he might recover, but he did not regain his 
 health by that time, and so resigned in August of 1891. During part 
 of the time of the pastor's absence, the pulpit and the weekly church 
 prayer meetings were under the leadership of Rev. J. P.Jones, a mission- 
 ary to India. He aroused quite an interest in missions, and left many 
 warm friends behind when he left us to go back to his work in India. 
 
 In Octobtr, 1891, Rev. Wm. A. Knight was called to the vacant pas- 
 torate. He had a particularly hard task before him, owing to the fact 
 
124 clevp:land congregationai.ists. 
 
 that through the sickness of Rev. W. L. Tenney, the Church had been 
 practically without a pastor for nearly a year. He was successful in his 
 labors in interesting the people and bringing many into the Church, He 
 was a very earnest preacher, and one especially adapted to interest work- 
 ing people, of which the Church is almost entirely composed. He was 
 with us but seven months when a call came to him to work as associate 
 pastor of the Old Stone Church, which call he accepted, and left us 
 June, 1891. 
 
 The present pastor, Rev. D.T. Thomas, came to us November 13,1892, 
 from the West Congregational Church of Akron, 0., where he had been a 
 successful and beloved pastor for four years. His ministry among us has 
 been blessed. There has been a steady growth in the membership — mem- 
 bers having been received at every Communion since became to us; the 
 young people have realized great help from his sympathy and co-opera- 
 tion with them m their work, his unfailing attendance at their regular 
 weekl}'^ meetings has been both encouraging and inspiring. The Junior 
 and Intermediate Societies of Christian Endeavor have also been organ- 
 ized during his pastorate, and arc proving a great help to the members, 
 teaching them early the privilege of ministering to others. These socie- 
 ties are under the direction of the pastor's wife, who is a faithful coadju- 
 tor in the work. In addition to the Christian Endeavor Societies, the 
 Church rejoices in an energetic and self-sacrificing Ladies' Aid and Mis- 
 sionary Society, in a Sabbath-school whose usefulness is only limited by 
 the lack of teachers and adequate accommodations : in a Men's Club 
 which has helped the Church in many ways, and is now helping in having 
 a weekly paper. Congregational Visitor, distributed each week, contain- 
 ing Church notices and items of interest, etc. 
 
 For the past ten years the church has been opened for Sunday service 
 and a weekly prayer meeting for the Bohemian people of the neighbor- 
 hood, preaching being in their own tongue. The membership of the 
 Church at present is 374-. We have seven of the charter members with us 
 now. Man}' who were formerly with us are now helping in other churches 
 to do work for the Master. The church is by reason of its situation and 
 composition plainly called by the Master to do a work for working peo- 
 ple. In this work it has been blessed, and rejoices in the position of influ- 
 ence which it has secured in this part of the city, and looks hopefully for- 
 ward to the future to be a still greater blessing.

GRACE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 GORDON AVENUE, CORNER COLGATE STREET. 
 
 LTHOUGH this member of our Congregational sisterhood is bt»t 
 k^ fourteen years old, its beginnings were nearly a quarter of a c«!a- 
 tury ago. 
 
 KKV. J H. }lVLfK. 
 
 Early in the seventies, a Methodist Sunday-school, in the brick school- 
 house still standing near the corner of Denison and Ridge avenues, wa$ 
 succeeded by a Union school, under the eflBcient care of Mr. L. L. Haskins, 
 
132 
 
 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 then a member of the First Congregational Church. This school had 
 several years of prosperous life, reaching an attendance of over one 
 hundred. 
 
 At length a Union Church was organized, and a commodious and con- 
 venient Union Chapel was erected at the corner of Ridge and Brinsmade 
 avenues, largely through the influence and aid of Mr. Samuel Barker, Mr. 
 David A. Coulter. Mr. Edwin Stinchcomb. and a few others. To this 
 building the Union Sunday-school was transferred, and it became the 
 temporary home of a happy and enthusiastic band of Christian workers. 
 The Rev. Elisna A. Hoffman, of active missionary spirit, then came to 
 this country field and became pastor. 
 
 GKACK CHURCH. 
 
 After a few years it seemed wise to change the center of work to the 
 more thickly populated section about Clark avenue, known as "Cuba." 
 The residents of Cuba were largely Bohemian, and the streets were full of 
 children. Meetings were held in private houses, first and frequently in 
 the home of Dr. Adam Oelhoff, and in a vacated saloon-grocery. From 
 this neighborhood and from the localities previousK- named, came the 
 diverse elements which were to form the new church. 
 
 Contemporaneous with th^se movements, the First Congregational 
 Church had established a mission chapel on Harbor street, where a large 
 and successful work was being done under the direction of Rev. S. B. Ship- 
 man, D. D., whose later years were given to founding and developing the 
 Franklin Avenue Congregational Church. 
 
GRACE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 133 
 
 The people who were planning for a new church in Cuba found that 
 a somewhat elastic and independent organization was desired, and a 
 Congregational council was called to assemble in the most convenient 
 place, the Harbor Street Congregational Chapel. Here, on December 7, 
 1881, Grace Congregational Church was organized, with nineteen mem- 
 bers, and the Rev. Mr. Hoffman was installed as its pastor. 
 
 It was decided to erect a suitable building on Train street, near Clark 
 avenue, and a lot was given by the late J. M. Hoyt. Meanwhile, the-sur- 
 veyor of the Nickel Plate Railroad ran his line through the Harbor street 
 property. It was decided to abandon the work there. The property was 
 sold and $500 of the proceeds were given to add another lot to the one 
 donated to the new church. Even more important to the new enterprise 
 was the coming from the Harbor street work of a number of earnest 
 workers, among them Mr. John G. Simon and Mr. F. E. Prasse, then 
 members of the First Church, who have been devoted and faithful workers 
 in Grace Church to this day. Thus, because of the gift of both consecrated 
 workers and consecrated means, the spiritual and financial motherhood 
 of the First Church is gratefuU}' recognized. Somewhat later, additional 
 helpers came to the new church from a Union Sunday-.<chool, which was 
 started on Pear street, and finally surrendered to the Episcopalians. 
 
 Funds were raised on the field and among outside friends. The Congre- 
 gational Building Society made a generous grant, and we read that July 
 9, 1882, at a cost of nearly $2,500, " a beautiful little edifice, with Gothic 
 windows," was dedicated. 
 
 Of the nineteen persons who formed the church, but one, Mrs. Hattie 
 Gallagher, remains a resident member. 
 
 Among the early workers in the church may be named Dr. and Mrs. 
 Adam Oelhoff, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Barker, Mr. and Mrs. L.L. Haskins, 
 Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Coulter, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Stinchcomb, Mr. 
 and Mrs. Fred Herbster, Mrs. Martha M. Eaton, Mr. and Mrs. John G. 
 Simon, and Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Prasse. 
 
 The work on Train street was large and important, and the building 
 was often thronged, especially with children. After a few years, how- 
 ever, it was concluded that the work should be more strictly Bohemian. 
 The property was transferred to the Cleveland Bohemian Board on con- 
 dition that a grant of $1,500 should be made by the Church Building 
 Society for the present church edifice on the corner of Gordon avenue and 
 Colgate street. Later, the Bohemian Board sold the Train street church 
 and it became a Methodist mission, largely under the ownership and 
 direction of Dr. Oelhoff. Cyril Chapel was built by the Board and the 
 special work for the Bohemians was carried on there. 
 
 The first service held by Grace Church in the new location was con- 
 ducted by the pastor. Rev, Mr, Hoffman, under an apple tree in the 
 orchard of which the church lot was apart. The old Union Chapel on 
 Ridge avenue was purchased and moved onto the rear of the lot for use 
 while the new building was being erected. It is still used by the 
 primary school and for the social services of the church. The present 
 
134 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 church building, costing about $3,<)00, and with a seating capacity of 
 three hundred and fifty, was dedicated in the summer of 1885. 
 
 The Rev. Mr. Hoffman resigned his pastorate April 1, 1886, having 
 been instrument.vl in the erection of two buildings and in the enrollment 
 of si.xty-two members in Grace Church. 
 
 For some months the church was supplied by Rev. Robert Quaife, 
 the State evangelist. 
 
 The present pastor, Rev. John H. Hull, was called from Ashtabula 
 Harbor and began work October 1, 1886. During his pastorate of 
 more than nine years, all debts on the church property have been 
 paid, and it is now valued at $4,500. The interior of both build- 
 ings has been improved and considerable additions made to the 
 equipment. The Church has been blessed with several precious re- 
 vival seasons, and 248 members have been added, making a total 
 enrollment of 310, of which about two hundred constitute the present 
 membership. Generous aid was received from the Home Missionary 
 Society until July 1, 1893, when it was decided to assume self-support. 
 It has also received valuable aid from many friends in the city, among 
 whom are the late Mr. A. G. Hopkinson of the First Church, Professor 
 and Mrs. Chas. F. Olney of Pilgrim Church and Mr. R. K. Hawley, form- 
 erlv of the Euclid Avenue Church. From the beginning, the church has had 
 a large and prosperous Sunday-school and a very devoted and useful 
 Ladies' Society. It also has a Senior and Junior Endeavor Society, a 
 Men's League. Boys' Brigade, Girls' Society and Musical Society. It 
 has furnished the larger part of the workers for the Lorain Street Mis- 
 sion, and with the means at its command, is seeking to do what it can to 
 bless the community and advance the kingdom of God.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BOHEMIAN MISSION IN 
 
 CLEVELAND. 
 
 BY REV. H. A. SCHAUFFLER, D. D. 
 
 Following the ApostoUc practice, our chief efforts for the Slavic 
 
 l^jL peoples are made in the great centers of population. Our great 
 cities are overwhelmingly foreign in complexion ; if thev are to be 
 
 REV. H. A. SCHAUFFLER, D. D. 
 
 evangelized, our chief missionary work in them must be for the foreign 
 population. Our Slavic work is growing both in extent and power. 
 
 In the summer of 1882, Rev. Charles T. Collins, then pastor of 
 
140 
 
 CLEVELAND CONGREGATION ALTSTS. 
 
 Plymouth Church, knowing of the spiritual destitution of the twenty to 
 twentj'-five thousand Bohemians in Cleveland, invited me to visit the city 
 and see what could be done for them. 
 
 The residt was a call to become pastor of Olivet Chapel (a mission of 
 Plymouth Church) and missionary to Bohemians. October 12, 1882, 1 
 moved to Cleveland and the next Sabbath commenced Bohemian services 
 in Olivet Chapel. This being too far from the chief Bohemian colony, tiic 
 invitation of the Broadway M. E. Church to occup}- their rear room was 
 accepted in December, 1S82. June 25 of 1883, a conference of members oi 
 our city Congregational churches was called, which resolved to recom- 
 
 ^

 mend to their churches to adopt the Bohemian work, and to contribute 
 one thousand dollars a year to its support, the American Home Mission- 
 ary Society agreeing to supplement this amount. This action being 
 accepted by the Cleveland Congregational churches, resulted in the forma- 
 tion of the Bohemian Mission Board of Cleveland, an incorporated 
 societ}', formed of one member chosen periodically by each citv Congrega- 
 tional church that chooses to do so. The present members are Mr. 
 Horace Ford, of Euclid Avenue Congregational Church ; Dr. A. G. Hart, 
 of Pilgrim Church ; Mr. L. F. Mellen, of Plymouth Church ; Mr. John 
 Harrington, of the First Congregational Church, and Mr. John Broughton, 
 of the Brooklyn Congregational Church.

 When I was invited hy the 
 Congregational churches here to 
 take up work for the 25,000 
 Bohemians of this city, I an- 
 swered that if the Congregational 
 churches of Cleveland would take 
 up this work and carry it on in 
 the same way in which foreign 
 missionary work is done, not ex- 
 pecting great results in a short 
 time, but determined to hold on 
 to it until the desired results 
 should be reached, whatever ex- 
 pense of time or means it might 
 reqtiire, I would gladl}' enter 
 upon it. It was on this basis that 
 the Congregational churches of 
 Cleveland commenced this work 
 and have carried it on to the 
 present time. 
 
 In December, 1883, the Bo- 
 hemian service was removed to 
 the small Rcpul)lican wigwam on

 Czar street, where an Bnglish service 
 and week-day evening meeting and a 
 Sunday-school were commenced. 
 
 Soon after, a fierce quarrel broke 
 out between the large Bohemian 
 Roman Catholic church on the West 
 Side and the Roman Catholic bishop, 
 which resulted in bis closing the 
 church, parsonage and schoolhouse, 
 which remained empty eighteen 
 months. At the invitation of the 
 pastor of Grace Congregational 
 Church, then on Train street, I com- 
 menced Bohemian service in that 
 chapel in March, 1884-, first on a 
 week-day evening, and then on Sun- 
 day afternoon. When Grace Church 
 built its present edifice, its old chapel 
 passed into the hands of the Bo- 
 hemian Mission Board. 
 
 In the summer of 1887 the old 
 Grace Chapel was given up, and the

 pretty' new Cjril Chapel was built for the Bohemian Mission and dedi- 
 cated July 10. The work in that field, now centering in Cyril Chapel on 
 Selden avenue, will be separately reported. 
 
 When, after five and a half years' work, we had the joy of forming in 
 Cleveland the first Congregational Bohemian Church, we could not but 
 remember that in Bohemia it was seven and a half years before the mis- 
 sionaries of the American Board were able to form a church, and that the 
 first American missicmaries in Constantinople, who were working 
 amongst the nominal Christians of that empire, no harder to reach than 
 Roman Catholics, had to wait fourteen years before they could gather the 
 first fruits of their labors into a native church. 
 
 Early in 1884 a lot was secured on Broadway in the center of the 
 Bohemian colony. Funds were then collected from friends of the work, 
 irrespective of denomination, and Bethlehem Church was erected at a cost 
 for land and building of $8,000. It was dedicated January 1, 1885. 
 
 After the building of Bethlehem Church, the work expanded and 
 flourished. The Sunday-school soon quite filled the building, so that in 
 1889 four good-sized rooms were added to the rear, for Sunday-school 
 classes, sewing-school, evening meetings and other purposes. A boys' 
 band was formed which met on one week-day evening, and more recently 
 a girls' club for older girls and young women desirous of learning useful 
 occupations was commenced, as well as a Saturday morning school, in 
 which Bohemian children, who would otherwise attend a school con- 
 ducted by infidels, can learn their mother tongue under Christian 
 influences. The sewing-school meets Saturday afternoon. Preaching serv- 
 ices are held in Bohemian and English Sunday morning, the Sundav- 
 school in both languages at 2 p. m., and two large and flourishing 
 Christian Endeavor societies, one Bohemian and the other English, hold 
 their meetings on Sunday evening. The latter is followed by a brief ser- 
 mon or address in English. In March, 1888, Bethlehem Congregational 
 Church was formed with seventy-three members, b3' aid of a council of 
 Cleveland Congregational churches, and has grown to a membership of 
 160, besides a branch of thirty-three at Cyril Chapel and one of over 
 ninety in Braddock, Penn. 
 
 By these various means (some of which are now generally' called in- 
 stitutional) Bethlehem is reaching out to the various elements of the 
 very diversified population all around it, and seeking to bring them into 
 union with Christ and each other and to make them an ever-growing 
 power for good. 
 
 During the last missionary year ending April 1, 1895, the average 
 weekly attendance at the most important services was : Bohemian, 
 morning, 76 ; EngHsh, morning, 47 ; Bohemian Christian Endeavor, 32; 
 English Christian Endeavor, 89 ; Sunday-school, 389. 
 
 Of Bethlehem's young people, five young men and five young women 
 have given themselves to missionary work for Bohemians and Poles, 
 besides a dozen more who came to Cleveland from other places for the 
 same purpose and here joined Bethlehem Church.

 Since the beginning there have 
 been connected with the Bethlehem 
 work at different times, Rev. and 
 Mrs. F. N. Price, Rev. and Mrs. J. 
 R. Nichols, Rev. John Balcar, and 
 Rev. and Mrs. Philip Reitinger. At 
 ])resent, Rev. John Prucha is pastor 
 of the Bohemian branch of the church, 
 Rev. E. M. May is pastor of the 
 English branch, Superintendent 
 Schauffler is also pastor and superin- 
 tendent of the Sunday-school. 
 
 In October of 1886 Bohemian 
 services were commenced in the East 
 Madison Avenue Congregational 
 Church, whose members kindly per- 
 mitted the use of their edifice for this 
 purpose, and have ever since gener- 
 ously borne the chief incidental ex- 
 pense connected with such use. This 
 is an important center for Bohem- 
 ian work, being situated in a large 
 Bohemian colonv. During the last

 morning services averaged over fifty- 
 nine, and at the Bohemian Mission 
 Sunday-school held in the afternoon, 
 242. There is a flourishing Junior 
 Christian Endeavor Society. Miss 
 Sarah R. Merrell has been engaged in 
 this work since March, 1887. Dr. 
 John S. French is superintendent of 
 the Sunday-school. The Bohemian 
 services and Wednesday evening 
 prayer meetings are conducted by 
 Bethlehem pastors aided by students 
 of the Oberlin Slavic department. 
 
 In the four stations there were 
 held during the last missionary year 
 a weekly average of six preaching 
 services, four Sunday-school sessions, 
 and nineteen other meetings, with a 
 total average weekl}' attendance of 
 1,781. Contributions to Missions 
 were $193.10. Number of visits 
 made, 5,295.

 We have but begun to touch the 
 Polish population, having only two 
 ordained and three unordained male, 
 and two female, missionaries at 
 work for the somewhere about one 
 million of Poles in this country, who 
 are in even greater need of the pure 
 Gospel than the Bohemians. Such 
 work, as indeed all 
 work for unevan- 
 gelized populations 
 in our large cities, 
 requires a much 
 larger w^orking force 
 than is needed in a 
 well-regulated Pro- 
 testant parish. 
 
 In May, 1893, 
 Mizpah Chapel, on 
 Ackley avenue near 
 Fleet street, was 
 dedicated. It is our 
 polyglot chapel, sit- 
 
 uated between our largest Polish 
 and a growing Bohemian colony, 
 and four languages, Polish, Ger- 
 man, Bohemian and English, are 
 constantly used in the work done 
 there. 
 
 BETHLEHEM BIBLE READERS 
 SCHOOL. 
 
 In January of 1886 the Bible 
 Readers School was commenced by 
 Miss Clara Hobart (now Mrs. H. 
 A. Schauffler) w^ith one pupil. In 
 the fall of 1888 the school found a 
 home in a hired house, and in the 
 fall of 1890 it moved into the com- 
 modious building erected for it by 
 the generosity of friends of this 
 most important and fundamental 
 work of training young women of 
 various nationalities for mission- 
 ary work among their own people 
 in this country. There are ten 
 pupils in the Bible Readers School, 
 eleven of whose former pupils and 
 graduates are working in eight 
 cities in six states. One graduate, 
 our only Bible reader nurse, lives at 
 the Homeand is makingit a center 
 of greatly needed Christ-like relief 
 for suffering and often helpless in- 
 dividuals and families. The im-

 portance and value of the work done by these young women, in visiting 
 homes otherwise inaccessible, and carrying the Gospel to those who would 
 otherwise never hear it, bringing strangers to our services, aiding in 
 Sunday-school work, leading in the service of song and visiting the sick, 
 cannot beestimated. The expenses of the Home and school, aside from the 
 missionary teachers' salaries, are paid by voluntary contribution of 
 friends. Of this school, Mrs. H. A. Schauffler is the principal and teacher 
 of the English Bible ; Miss Anna A. Gross is matron and teacher of 
 English branches; Miss Ella Hobart, teacher of organ and vocal music and 
 of the Polish Bible ; Miss Marie Reitinger, teacher of the Bohemian 
 branches and the Bohemian and German Bible. Rev. John Prucha gives 
 instruction in Bohemian grammar and composition ; Miss G. Bristol 
 gives organ lessons, and Mrs. Piotrowska teaches the Polish language.

THE SWEDISH CHURCH. 
 
 LEXINGTON AVENUE, NEAR WILLSON AVENUE, ORGANIZED 1889. 
 
 Tg)LYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH having seen the work 
 H^p among the Bohemians successfully started under Dr. Schauffler, 
 stretched out its hands to help the Scandinavians in this cit^-, 
 and in 1889 opened Olivet Chapel, corner of Hill and Commercial streets, 
 to this new mission, under the care of Rev. August W. Franklin. 
 
 REV. N. J. BOLIN. 
 
 A church organization was formed in that year, with nine members, 
 ready to work and sacrifice for the cause of Christ among their fellow- 
 conntrvmen. Aid was received from the Home Missionary Society from

 CLEVELAND CONGKEGATIONALISTS. 
 
 1890-95, and the blessing of God so attended the labors of Bro. Frank- 
 lin that a Sunday-school, a Christian Endeavor Society and a good con- 
 gregation soon grew up, requiring a building of their own. A lot was 
 secured on Lexington avenue, near VVillson, 80x150 feet, worth $3,200, 
 and a building worth $3,000 erected, into which the enterprise moved, 
 with a membership of about seventy, and a debt of $3,500. 
 
 The audience room will seat two hundred and fifty and the prayer 
 room seventy. The services are all in Swedish, and are well attended. 
 
 In 1895 Mr. Franklin was succeeded by Rev. N. J. Bolin, who has taken 
 up the burden hopefully. The membership, Jantiarv 1, 1896, was seventy- 
 five. Tlu' avcrpige attendance at Sunda v-school is thirtv-fivc, and the 
 enrollment ol ihe Christian Endeavor S'H-iet v is fort v.

UNION CHURCH. 
 
UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 , JT EDNESDAY evening, October 6, 1886, in response to a notice 
 VVMl/ duly given, a meeting was held to consider the present needs 
 of the neighborhood, and to take an}- action which seemed 
 wise and expedient. 
 
 REV. C. H. LEMMON. 
 
 At this meeting it was decided to invite a council of the Congrega- 
 tional churches of this city to meet in the Union Street Chapel, Sunday, 
 
156 CLEVELAND CONGKEGATIONALISTS. 
 
 October 10, 1886, to consider the expediency of organizing a Congrega- 
 tional Church. 
 
 Rev. E. Lyman Hood, who had been ministering on the field two months, 
 was elected to prepare the letters missive; the same to be submitted to 
 and signed by those who purposed to join the church. 
 
 This council met Sunday, October 10, 1886, as desired. The facts 
 elicited before this council were, that the persons present were unanimous 
 in desiring to have a Congregational Church organized in their chapel. As 
 those desiring to enter into the organization had not as jet secured 
 letters of dismissal from the churches with which they were connected, 
 thev were advised to do so at once; and call to their next meeting, for 
 assistance and advice, the state secretary, Rev. A. C. Barrows, and to 
 adopt a covenant, constitution and articles of faith. 
 
 It was agreed by the council that the time had arrived for the organ- 
 ization of a Congregational Church in this place, and arrangements for 
 another council, Sunday, October 24, at 3:30, were made. The closing 
 praver was then offered and the council adjourned. 
 
 Wednesdaj' evening, October 13, 1886, a number of persons assem- 
 bled at Union Chapel ior the purpose of making the necessary arrange- 
 ments for the organization, also to adopt a constitution, covenant and 
 articles of faith, with the assistance of Rev. A. C. Barrows, who was 
 present. The names of those purposing to unite with the new church 
 by letter, were as follows: Mrs. Agnes Shanks, Mrs. Catherine Horwell, 
 Mrs. Jessie Davis, Mrs Maria Pittaway, Mr. Andrew Campbell, Mrs. 
 Isabella Campbell, Mr. John Maitland, Miss Emma L. Rhodes. On pro- 
 fession, Mr. William H. Watkins, Mrs. Margaret Price, Mrs. Margaret 
 Hawthorne. 
 
 At this meeting, Mr. Jno. Maitland was elected chairman, Mr. An- 
 drew Campbell, committee, and Mr. Will. Watkins, clerk. 
 
 It was ordered that the above-named officers should serve until the 
 first formal election of officers iifler the organization of the church. It 
 was also ordered that these officers should make all needful provision 
 for the meeting of the council of the Congregational churches of Cleve- 
 land, Sunday afternoon, October 24, 1886. 
 
 The rules for the joint action of the First Congregational Church and 
 society were then considered, paragraph by paragraph, and necessary 
 changes made, after which they were adopted as the rules for the joint 
 action of the proposed church societ}' ; it was voted to respectfully re- 
 quest the trustees of the society to call a legal meeting and consider these 
 rules as amended, and adopt them. The meeting then adjourned until the 
 hour of the meeting of the council. 
 
 October 24, 1886, this council met, and after adopting the constitu- 
 tion, articles of faith and covenant, examined the candidates and they 
 were received into the church: 
 
 The name of the new organization was to be called the Union Con- 
 gregational Church. 
 
UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

 December 5, 1886, at a meeting held in the chapel, it was unanimously 
 voted to call Mr. E. E. Scovill to becorue their pastor. 
 
 The invitation was accepted, and on May 19, 1887, Mr. E. E. Scovill 
 was ordained and installed. 
 
 At this time we had 30 members. The Rev. E. E. Scovill continued with 
 us in faithful, earnest, Christian labor for eight years, when he received 
 a call to the missionary field in Cincinnati, which he accepted, leaving 
 144 members. During his ministry a new house of worship was erected. 
 
 February 10, 1895, a call was extended to Rev. Chas. H. Lemmon, 
 which was accepted by him, and he is at present with us.

PARK CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, 
 
 CORNER CULLISON STREET AND CRAWFORD ROAD. 
 
 |ARK Congregational Church had its beginning in a Sunday-school 
 
 If^ held in the home of Mr. Alfred Roberts, on the corner of Doan 
 
 street and Crawford road, organized July 4, 18S6. The Sunday- 
 
 REY. E. S. ROTHROCK. 
 
 school was union in its character. The people began immediately to 
 discuss the advisability of building a chapel, which resulted in the dedica- 
 tion of a Union Chapel, August 22, 1886, situated on the southwest 
 
PARK CHURCH. 
 
PARK CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 161 
 
 corner of Doan street and Crawford road. This was the only church 
 in a tract embracing about two square miles of territory at that time. 
 
 For about two years the pulpit of this Union Chapel was supplied by 
 whoever was available, during which time regular preaching and Sunday- 
 school and young people's meetings were maintained. But the people 
 felt their need of fellowship and the weakness of their isolation and de- 
 cided to transfer their society to some evangelical denomination, and in 
 January, 1888, the work and property of the Union Chapel was trans- 
 ferred to the strong and tender care of the Euclid Avenue Congregational 
 Church, and was known as the North Branch. The services were under 
 the supervision of a band of "Lay Preachers" which was organized by 
 Dr. Ladd in the Mother Church, until a pastor was called, in July, 1889. 
 At" the time of organization, Chas. M.Preston was elected superintendent, 
 which position he held until October, 1894. The first pastor of the 
 "Branch" was Rev. I. W. Metcalf, who divided his woik with the "Hough 
 Branch" until March, 1890, when Rev. M. L. Berger, D.D., took charge 
 of the work. The "North Branch" was recognized as an independent 
 church, October 2, 1890, and took the name of Park Congregational 
 Church, and M. L. Berger, D.D., was installed as pastor. 
 
 It was soon discovered that the location of the chapel was not cen- 
 tral, and that there was need for larger accommodations for the rapidly 
 increasing population, and a lot was purchased for a new church on the 
 corner of Crawford road and Cullison street. The corner-stone for the 
 new structure was laid July 31, 1892. The plans for the church 
 building were made by J. B. Shengle, a member of the church. 
 In due time, one of the neatest and most convenient of Cleveland's smaller 
 Congregational churches was completed. The church organization has 
 been steadily growing, and is doing good work and exerting a strong 
 influence upon the community of which it is a part. After serving the 
 church most efficiently for five years, Rev. Dr. Berger found it necessary 
 because of impaired health to resign his pastoral charge, which he did 
 January 27, 1895. The church extended a call to Rev. E. S. Rothrock,. 
 who began work March 24, 1895. The outlook for the church is very 
 encouraging. The membership now numbers 170. The Sunday-school 
 has an average attendance of about one hundred and sixty. 
 
 Among the many faithful and efficient workersin and for Park Church 
 should be especially mentioned Chas. M. Preston, A. T. Caulfield, S. C. 
 Hale, and from the "home church," H. Clark Ford. 
 
 The organizations connected with the church are:

HOUGH AVENUE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 jf\ N October 25-27, 1888, a house-to-house canvass of the Hough 
 Avenue field was made by Rev. W. F. McMillen, secretary of the 
 Congregational Sunday-school and Publishing Society, assisted 
 by Rev. M. L. Berger, D.D. On Sunday, October 28, 1888, a Sunday- 
 school was organized in the Republican wigwam, on the northwest 
 corner of Hough and Harkness avenues, under the auspices and support 
 •of the EucHd Avenue Congregational Church, with James W. Moore as 
 
 HOUGH AVENUE CHURCH. 
 
 superintendent. Regular preaching services began on the following Sun- 
 dav, conducted by Dr. Berger. A weekly prayer meeting has been sus- 
 tained since November 15, 1888 Dr. Berger continued as associate 
 pastor of the Euclid Avenue Church and minister-in-charge of the Hough 
 Avenue Mission until thp last Sunday of June, 1889. 
 
 On the first Sunday of July, 1889, Rev. Irving W. Metcalf, then pastor 
 of the Central Congregational Church, Dayton, Ohio, preached at the 
 wigwam ; and on the last Sunday of July he began his work as pastor

 of the Hough Avenue Mission, under a call from the Euclid Avenue 
 Church. 
 
 The foregoing cut represents the Nineteenth Ward Wigv^ram in vi^hich 
 the Hough xA venue Congregational Sunday-school was organized, and 
 also the Hough Avenue Branch of the Euclid Avenue Congregational 
 Church, v^hich afterwards became the Hough Avenue Congregational 
 
 REV. C. W. CARROLL. 
 
 Church. Services were held here from October 28, 1888,JJto|jNovember 
 23, 1890. 
 
 February 11, 1890, the congregation was formally organized and 
 recognized by an ecclesiastical council as The Hough Avenue Branch of 
 the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, with lorty-six charter mem- 
 bers, of whom five were previously members of the Mother Church. 
 
 The branch relation continued until March 18, 1891, when, in 
 response to a letter-missive issued jointly by the Euclid Avenue Church 
 
HOUGH AVENUE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 167 
 
 and the Hough Avenue Branch, another ecclesiastical council formally 
 organized and recognized The Hough Avenue Congregational Church, 
 with 111 members, and installed Rev. Irving W. Metcalf as pastor. The 
 Church has been self-supporting since that time. 
 
 The lot on the southwest corner of Hough avenue and Crawford 
 road was purchased September 2, 1889. Ground was broken for the 
 present chapel, June 16, 1890. The corner-stone was laid with appro- 
 priate exercises, Sunday afternoon, July 13, 1890. The first prayer 
 meeting in the new chapel was held Friday evening, November 28, 1890, 
 and the building was formally dedicated Sunday, November 30, 1890. The 
 Church was legally incorporated October 23, 1891, and the property, 
 which had been held by F. B. Fox, trustee, was deeded to the Church on 
 December 5, 1891. 
 
 Toward the cost of the church property members of the Euclid Ave- 
 nue Church generously contributed nearly $3,000, and until the Branch 
 Church became independent, the Mother Church paid more than three- 
 fourths of the current expenses. The remainder of the amount paid for 
 the property and for current expenses was given by the members of the 
 Hough Avenue congregation, property owners in the neighborhood, and 
 other friends. 
 
 The roll of the church now contains the names of 492 persons, of 
 whom 186 were received on confession of faith, and 306 by letter from other 
 churches. Fifteen have been removed by death, 84 have been dismissed 
 to other churches, and from one fellowship has been withdrawn, leaving 
 the present membership 392. 
 
 The pastorate of Rev. Irving W. Metcalf closed with the Communion 
 service, January 7, 1894, at which time seven infant children were pre- 
 sented for baptism and nine new members were received. 
 
 Rev. Charles W. Carroll began work with the church April 1, 1894, 
 and was installed pastor April 3, 1895. The work continued to grow so 
 rapidly and steadily that in the autumn of 1894 the chapel proved to be 
 too small to accommodate either the audience or the Sunday-school. 
 March 8, 1895, the church voted to erect a new building.

CENTENNIAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH (WELSH), 
 
 JONES AVENUE, OFF BROADWAY. 
 
 f^ HE first idea suggested by the term "Welsh Church" is, that the 
 |y services are conducted in the Welsh language. In religious creed 
 and church polity it does not differ materially from other 
 churches. The Welsh language is the great distinctive characteristic of 
 our Welsh churches. Not on account of the clannishness of our people, as 
 we believe that there is no room for narrow-minded selfishness to develop 
 in our magnificent country — but, that there is nothing that will touch a 
 
 CliNTEXXIAL CONGKKGATIONAL CHIKCII. 
 
 Welshman's heart like the harmonious chords that swell in the consonants 
 of his mother's language. Since this is so, it is very evident that where 
 "two or three of them gather together," they will converse to their 
 heart's content in their own tongue, and they will not be long together 
 without singing old hymns and praying to their God. A small number 
 of Welsh jDcople emigrated from Wales to Newburg early in the fifties, and 
 two of the number, viz: David I. Jones and his brother, John Jones, 
 started, on a small scale, the mill which is still in existence, and called 
 "The Cleveland Rolling Mill Co." At that time there were about 
 twenty-five W^elsh people in the place. In 1857, Thomas D. Jones and 
 George M.Jones moved here from Niles, Ohio, and in a short time after 
 started a Sunday-school with thirteen scholars, in the house of Robert

 Edwards on Broadway. George M. Jones acted as Sunday-school super- 
 intendent and T, D. Jones as leader of the singing. 
 
 At this time the little band was like the Israelites of old ; they were 
 pilgrims and sojourners, yet perfectly conscious of being led by God's 
 hand. Cottage prayer meetings were begun at this time, and carried on 
 regularly until the organization of the Church. Finall3\ in the fall of 
 1858, at the house of William Jones, Harvard street, a church was organ- 
 ized with fifteen members.

 Rev. D. Davies (Dewi Emlyn), Parisville, acted as moderator^^and 
 George M. Jones as scribe. i '< 
 
 Thomas D. Jones and William Jones were elected first deacons, and 
 George M. Jones the first secretary of the new organization, and it was 
 unanimously decided to follow the Congregational Church polity. More 
 Welsh people coming to the place, and more interest manifested continu- 
 ally in the little church, it was decided to build a permanent home for 
 the ark of God, and Esquire Hamilton, father of present Hon. Judge 
 Hamilton, presented them with a lot on Wales street, then the Euclid

 avenue of Newburg, and in June, 1860, they moved from Thomas D. 
 Jones' house to their new edifice, although it had no door nor window. 
 By this time the Church had induced their worth}^ secretary, George M. 
 Jones, to preach, and he consented and supphed the pulpit very often. In 
 September, 1860, the building was completed and dedication services 
 were held. In attendance were the Rev. D. Davies, " Demi Emlyn," Paris- 
 ville; Rev. Lloyd, Palmyra; Rev. J. Edwards, Crabcreek; Rev. T. Davies. 
 Youngstown ; Rev. J. B. Thomas, Mineral Ridge. The Church numbered 
 about twenty-five at this time. Rev. R. Richards came to stay in New- 
 burg, and he was often called upon to supply the pulpit. The Church 
 lived peacefully on the ministry of Mr. Jones and Mr. Richards until the 
 year 1864, when a call was extended to Rev. W. Watkins, a student at 
 Marietta college. He accepted the call, and ordination services were held 
 in July, 1864. 
 
 Rev. Mr. Watkins worked hard, and the Church was steadily increas- 
 ing, and in two years it was found necessary to build an addition to the 
 old one. It is a rare treat to hear those who remember the, history 
 of this period relating it — the good times they were having, and how 
 conscious they were of Divine leadership. This building, at last, was 
 found very inadequate and unworthy for such a church, and at the end of 
 sixteen years it was decided to build a new edifice on Jones avenue — the 
 present Centennial Congregational Church. The Church in that period 
 had three ministers: Rev. W. Watkins, Rev. John E. Jones, Rev. W. 
 Lewis. 
 
 The Rev. John E. Jones was pastor when the new church 
 was built. Since then the Church has been continually growing under 
 the ministry of Rev. W. P. Edwards, Rev. E. Bowen, Rev. J. V. Stephens, 
 and its present pastor. Rev. T. Henry Jones. 
 
 May God grant us ability and zeal to maintain in the future the 
 standard which for thirty-seven years the Centennial Congregational 
 Church in Newburg has held, in faith and practice, in the religion which 
 ennobles life here and insures immortality. T. H. Jones.

LAKEWOOD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 
 
 Z^^^N a bright, pleasant morning in March, 1891, Revs. I. W. Metcalf 
 ^V^)^ and A. E. Thomson and Messrs. H. Clark Ford and C. E. Ferrell 
 — visited Lakewood for the purpose of discovering what the pros- 
 pects were for the establishment and support of a Congregational mis- 
 sion for the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and at what point, if 
 any, a location might be secured for the erection of a house of worship. 
 
 l.AKEWUOn CHI'KCll. 
 
 After noting the advantages and disadvantages of several locations, a 
 lot was selected on Detroit street, near Highland avenue, which was 
 afterwards purchased by the Congregational City Missionary Society. 
 A primary department of the Sabbath-school was organized, with Miss 
 Julia Bailey, teacher. During the summer of 1891, this class of small chil- 
 dren met every Sabbath afternoon in the kitchen of Mrs. B. W. Coutant. 
 During the summer. Rev. W. F. McMillen made a canvass of the com-

 munity for funds for the erection of a chapel. In this he was assisted 
 materially by Mr. B. W. Coutant,Mr. C. E. Ferrell,Mr. Chas. Townsend 
 and others, and the chapel was erected, costing, with furniture, $800, 
 and was dedicated December, 1891. Up to this time cottage prayer- 
 meetings had been held, and several city pastors had held preaching serv- 
 ices in several homes. From December, 1891, to March, 1892, Rev. J. G. 
 Eraser, D. D., Rev. W. E. McMillen and city pastors held afternoon serv- 
 ices in the cbapel. 
 
 REV. H. A. N. RICHARDS. 
 
 On December 13, 1891, the Sabbath-school was formally organized, 
 with Mr. Carr, superintendent; Miss Julia Bailey, secretary; Mrs. Mack, 
 treasurer; Miss McConnell, organist. The school was opened Decem- 
 ber 20, 1891, with three officers, eight teachers, sevent3'-one present in 
 all, and the collection was $5.08. 
 
 In March, 1892, at a meeting of the supporters of the Mission, 
 Messrs. C. E. Eerrell, B. W. Coutant and W. S. Nelson were elected trus- 
 es. Wm. Miller was chosen clerk and B. W. Coutant, treasurer.

 Rev. E. A. Fredenhagen was called to take charge of the Mission, 
 and commenced work March 1, 1892, and under his ministry the work 
 progressed finely. A Ladies' Aid Society, a Christian Endeavor Society, 
 and a Junior Society of Christian Endeavor were organized. Rev. E. A. 
 Fredenhagen remained but one year, receiving a salary of $900; one-half 
 being received from the field and the other half from the City Missionary 
 Society. From March 1, 1893, to July 9, 1893, the pulpit was supplied 
 by city pastors and others. 
 
 Rev. H. A. N. Richards was called to the work and began labors July 
 9, 1893, with a salary of $1,000 per year. On September 3, 1893, the 
 afternoon services were discontinued, and regular morning and evening 
 services were held, and the hour for the Sabbath-school was changed 
 from 2:30 p. m. to 9:30 a. m. 
 
 This marked a new era in the history of the Mission and the work at 
 once grew more rapidly. 
 
 In October, 1893, committees were appointed with a view to calling 
 a council of pastors and of churches for the organization of a church. 
 The council of pastors and churches convened at the chapel on November 
 9, 1893, and organized the Lakewood Congregational Church, with the 
 following charter members: By Letter — Rev. H. A. N. Richards, Mrs. E. 
 L. Richards, Miss Julia Bailey, Frederick A. Beck, Mrs. F. A. Beck, Sarah 
 J. Beam, Mrs. Hattie Clow, Mrs. Sarah Coutant, Miss Barbara Cox, Ed- 
 ward G. Dudley, Mrs. Mary G. Dudley, Miss Edith I. Eminger, Chas. E. 
 Ferrell, Mrs. Minnie A. Ferrell, Miss Mary E. Ferrell, Mrs. Mary W. 
 Haynes, Miss Tacy Kellogg, W. S. Nelson, Miss Mary A. Orbison. On 
 Confession — Miss Bertha L. Bailey, Miss Grace E. Drury, John G. Edson, 
 Henrv J. Nast, Miss Rosabelle D. Nast, George F. Nelson, Miss Sadie E. 
 Park, Miss Harriet W. Renouard.

 In summer of 1894, the City Missionary Society exchanged the lot 
 on Detroit street for the more valuable one on the corner of Detroit street 
 and Highland avenue, pledging the church this corner lot, 75x200 feet. 
 To this lot the Church moved the chapel in August, 1894. 
 
 The Church has appointed building and finance committees, and Vo. 
 decided to erect a new church building as soon as possible, and ha 
 adopted plans presented by Charles E. Hopkinson. architect, which ca

 preached for the people on the 
 following Sabbath, Easter, 
 March 25, 1894. 
 
 The organization was further 
 completed, and on April 22, one

THE OLIVET CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 
 
 HOWS the many-sidedness of Greater Cleveland. Organized April 
 6, 1894, by a little band who wished to place the Christian Church 
 sqiiarely against the monstrous evil of the day, they covenanted 
 with themselves and require of all seeking membership with them " t» 
 
 OLIVET CnUKCH. 
 
 abstain from all intoxicating liquors, including wine, beer and cider, and 
 xise all proper means to discourage the use of and traffic in the same." 
 
 The little body, animated with this full conception of Christianity, 
 has steadily prospered and been greatly encouraged by generous expres-

 5ions of approval by other churches until there seems but a step to be 
 taken to bring all other churches to the formal expression of this which 
 is the only godly attitude of the Church toward the liquor traffic. For 
 over a year they worshiped in obscure quarters and were often ministered 
 to voluntarily by preachers of various denominations. From the first, 
 the rooms sccvired for worship were inadequate and inconvenient; close, 
 dark and inaccessible: crowded almost to suffocation on special occasions. 
 
 
 \\ . >. I AVLOR. 
 
 Yet God so blessed the coming together of the people that it was often 
 said. Can an}' other place become so precious? 
 
 In June last, Rev. W. S. Taylor, who had been engaged in mission 
 work with the Friends, was called to the pastorate of this church that 
 could scarcely be lound. Heartily accepting the call, he has s-een a rapid 
 increase of the work under his hands. They have made temperance work 
 practical and systematic by appointing the third Sunday of each month 
 Temperance day and giving the temperance committee charge of the 
 evening service of that day and of the preceding Friday evening prayer

 meeting. The Sunday-school on that day studies the temperance exer- 
 cise published by the National Temperance and Publication society of 
 New York. 
 
 A lot at 180 Wade Park avenue was secured and a building commit- 
 tee of seven members and Rev. I. W. Metcalf appointed. A very pretty- 
 plan was presented by S. B. Badgley and thepresent building was erected 
 from it, Mr.SethHullsuperintendingandMr.Geo. B. McMillan overseeing 
 the carpenter work. The Wade Park W. C. T. U., the Somerset Y., Olivet 
 C. E. and the Sunday-school donated beautiful stained glass windows; 
 friends also donated four memorial windows. 
 
 The memliership of the church has increased to 48 and C. E. to 30. 
 The Sabbath-school numbers 60 scholars and 8 teachers. 
 
 The new- building was far enough completed for occupation on 
 October 27, and on the preceding Friday evening an affecting farewell 
 was held in the old rooms. Dedication services began November 3, and 
 continued throughout the week. Friends of the church filled it on the 
 dedication occasion and subscribed liberally' toward diminishing the 
 debt. The cost of lot and building was about $3,000. 
 
 Through man}' sacrifices and by the aid of generous friends, they 
 dedicated, November 3 at 2 p. ra., their new church at Wade Park and 
 Giddings avenues. President Thwing of Western Reserve university pre- 
 sided at the service. 
 
 The services continued through the week, the Sunda^'-school having 
 Monday evening, the C. E. Tuesday, asocial on Wednesday, a temper- 
 ance meeting on Thursday and a prayer and praise meeting, led by the 
 students of the Christian Workers' Training School, on Friday evening.

LAKE VIEW CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, 
 
 OPPOSITE THE CEMETERY. 
 
 URING the summer of 1887, the quiet of the country life about 
 
 Lake View Cemetery was sufficiently invaded by the Italian Col- 
 ony that had sought employment in the Granite Works and with 
 
 the Street Railway Company, to arouse the interest of the Euclid Avenue 
 
 Congregational Church. 
 
 T-?%-' 
 
 LAKE VIEW CHURCH. 
 
 One Sunday afternoon, Miss Louise Woodward took her guitar, and 
 accompanied by Misses Florence and Gertrude Cozad, walked up Monroe 
 street toward Mayfield street. A few notes on the guitar were all that 
 was needed to draw quite a crowd of children, who followed them. 
 When they reached Mr. Lewis Ford's residence, near what is now the 
 corner of Mayfield and Fairview streets, they were met by Miss Martha 
 Dawes, who invited them to come into the yard, where the first Sunday- 
 school that most of the children had ever attended was then begun, and 
 
202 
 
 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 it was there that some of them for the first time heard the name of Christ 
 tised reverently instead of profanely. 
 
 ^^For the rest of the summer a Sunday-school was held in the yard, or 
 on rainy days, in the kitchen of Mr. Ford's house. 
 
 In the fall, Mr. Office, who lived opposite, gave the use of a front 
 room of his brick house, which had been used to store vegetables. The 
 work continued there until the winter of 1888-9 and had gathered a nura- 
 
 REY. A. B. CKISTY. 
 
 ber of German and English children, and had had the help of Mr. B. F. 
 Whitman and J. V. Dawes. When more room was found necessary, Mr. 
 Silvaroli offered the use of the best room in his house, and there Misses 
 Woodward and Cozad took the Italian children, while a room was rented 
 in the McReynolds Block for the rest of the school. When the school was 
 removed to the room back of the Garfield Bank, new workers entered 
 and^new members were secured. 
 
 The teachers now were J. V. Dawes, F. G. Hogen, Miss Ada Wilburn, 
 
LAKE VIEW CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 203 
 
 Mrs. Henry Aumick, Misses Catherine and Josephine Hanks, Miss Lyons, 
 Miss Mary Barstow and Mrs. Benedict. Of these, Mr. F. G. Hogen was 
 appointed superintendent by Dr. Ladd and the Board of Deacons of the 
 Home Church, which now took the enterprise under their full guidance. 
 
 The first session of the new school was held January 13, 1889, and 
 the average attendance increased to seventy-five, while the gradual with- 
 drawal of the Italian element made it clear that the work was not 
 to continue a missionary enterprise long. 
 
 It was then seen that a building was necessary. Mr. John D. Rocke- 
 feller agreed to lease a lot 60x150, and Messrs. Hogen and Dawes with 
 Misses Wilburn, Lj'^ons and Hanks solicited the funds, efficiently aided by 
 Dr. Ladd and the Home Church. 
 
 " But no architect could be found who would furnish plans within the 
 means of the Church, and with sufficient floor space to accommodate the 
 people. Finally, Dr. Ladd said: ' Let us draw our own plans,' and it 
 was done. He drew all the plans of the present chapel and, from them, 
 an architect made the working specifications for the builders. In the 
 spring, on Easter Sunday of 1890, Lake View Chapel, bright and commo- 
 dious, with audience room, two large class-rooms — one for the infant 
 class and one for the -Italians — and a library, was built under the aus- 
 pices of the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church. The total cost of 
 building and furniture was $2,500." 
 
 "After moving into the new quarters, the Sunday-school increased 
 rapidly, and a Sunday evening prayer-meeting, with occasionally a ser- 
 mon, was added to the services. In the fall of 1890, the Rev. Wm. A. 
 Knight became minister and, in the spring, organized the Lake View 
 Assembly of the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, under the follow- 
 ing charter from the Home Church, viz: Cleveland, Ohio, February 27, 
 1891, 
 
 Whereas a desire has been expressed that there should be some 
 organization at Lake View Chapel, whereby those who work and wor- 
 ship there might feel that they had a Church home, with all the privileges 
 that belong to such a home. 
 
 Therefore, Resolved: That we adopt the following plan recom- 
 mended by the Board of Deacons: (Ij The organization of Christians 
 at Lake View shall be known as the Lake View Assembly of the Euclid 
 Avenue Congregational Church. (2) A clerk and treasurer shall be 
 elected by the Lake View Assembly for one year, or until their successors 
 are chosen, who, in addition to the usual duties of their offices, shall re- 
 port in writing to the clerk and treasurer of the Church annually, or 
 when requested. (3) The usual officers of the Sabbath-school shall 
 be elected for one j'car, by vote of the members of the Church at Lake 
 View, together with such other persons (except the scholars in the infant 
 class) as may be associated with them in Bible study; and the superin- 
 tendent shall report in writing to the clerk of the Church annually, 
 or when requested. (4) When the membership of the Church assembled 
 at the Lake View Chapel shall number one hundred resident members, 
 
204 
 
 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 they shall be entitled to independ- 
 ent organization, recognition by- 
 council of sister Churches, and in- 
 corporation as a separate Con- 
 gregational Church of Christ. 
 
 Resolved : That a committee 
 consisting of Rev. H. M. Ladd, 
 Rev. Wm. A. Knight and three 
 others be chosen to take any 
 necessary steps for carrying out 
 the foregoing plan. 
 
 These were appointed : Horace 
 Ford, Justin Snow and F. G. 
 Hogen. Twenty-three persons be- 
 came chartei^ members, of whom 
 six joined by confession of faith. 
 This number increased to forty- 
 three (all but one on confession) 
 during Mr. Knight's ministry. 
 
 In October, 1891, Mr. Knight 
 was called to the East Madison 
 Avenue Congregational Church, 
 and the Rev. Frfink Van Horn of 
 Oberlin took charge of the weekly 
 praj'cr-meeting and Sunday ser- 
 vices. On the first of January, 1893, the Rev. James A. Thome took 
 charge of the work on a " one year's engagement," and the next Sabbath 
 added fourteen members, the first since October, 1891. 
 
 The Sunday-school then numbered two hundred, with an average at- 
 tendance of one hundred and forty. At the annual meeting of the Home 
 Church in December, 1893, the Assembly requested the appointment by 
 the Church of a committee of three from the Assembly, on their nomina- 
 tion, who should take charge of the work on the field as quasi trustees. 
 Messrs. L. Golden, W. G. Spence and E. J. Neville were so appointed, and 
 afterward this committee was enlarged by adding H. A. Morgan and L. 
 G. French. 
 
 On February 11, 189-i, Mr. Thome completed his labors with the 
 Church, having added ninety-three members, making one hundred and 
 thirty-six in all. About this time, Mr. Hogen also was compelled to 
 sever his connection with the work b}^ failing health, and L. Golden suc- 
 ceeded him as Sunday-school superintendent. 
 
 During the spring and summer of 1894, the pulpit was supplied 
 by various clergymen, among them Rev. A. B. Cristy, who came from his 
 work in Albuquerque, N. M., to attend the International Christian En- 
 deavor Convention, and was engaged to supply for six Sundays, result- 
 ing in awakening such mutual interest that steps were taken to extend 
 him a call to the ministry of the Church. This was formally voted by the 
 
 L. GOLDEN, TREASURER.

 On November 27, 1894, the 
 Board of Deacons of the Home 
 Church adopted the following reso- 
 lution : 
 
 Moved, "That the Lake View 
 committee be requested to convey 
 to the members of the Lake View 
 Assembly the sentiment of the 
 Board of Deacons of the Church, 
 that it is their opinion that the 
 time has come for the independent 
 organization of a Congregational 
 Church." 
 
 When this was read to the As- 
 sembly, they authorized the com- 
 mittee to secure the names of the 
 members to a request for letters 
 from the Home Church to form such 
 a Church. 
 
 One hundred and four n^mes 
 having been thus secured, a formal 
 
 request was presented to the Church at its annual meeting, December 7, 
 to call a council on Thursday, December 20, which request was granted 
 unanimously, and Messrs. H. Clark Ford and C. F. Thwing, D. D., ap- 
 pointed a committee with the pastor on the part of the Church, with L. 
 Golden, L. G. French and E. W. Kneen, on the part of the Assembly, to 
 call said council. 
 
 All the churches in the city, with those of CoUinwood, Brooklyn and 
 Hudson, were called and the Church was organized, and Rev. Albert 
 Barnes Cristy installed its pastor, on December 20. 
 
 One hundred and four members were received from the Home Church, 
 seven by letter from other churches and four on confession, making one 
 hundred and fifteen in all. Three others from the Home Church 
 w^ere added before January 1. 
 
 At the organization, subscriptions to the amount of $300 were made, 
 which covered all indebtedness of the Assemblj'. 
 
 As we were no longer entitled to the copies of The Greeting, steps 
 •were at once taken to supply its place, and The Lake View News was be- 
 ^un to be issued as a monthly, January 10. 
 
 Our manual was chiefly arranged from the manuals of the Home 
 Church and its oldest daughter, the East Madison Avenue Congre- 
 gational Church. The first organization of the Church was as follows: 
 
 Pastor— Rev. Albert Barnes Cristy. 
 
 ZOTTARELLI, ITALIAN MISSIONARY. 
 
206 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 Clerk — Henry A. Morgan. 
 
 Treasurer — L. Golden. 
 
 Sunday-school Superintendent — Edw. W. Kneen. 
 
 Assistant Superintendent — E. J. Neville. 
 
 Deacons — E. A. Ladue, 1 year; L. G. French, 2 years; L. Golden^ 
 3 years. 
 
 Deaconesses — Mrs. L. H. Bigelow, 1 year; Mrs. L. Golden, 2 years; 
 Mrs. A. 0. Spence, 3 years. 
 
 Trustees — E. H. Stoll and C. H. Perry, 1 j'-ear; L. H. Bigelow and E. 
 J. Neville, 2 years; A. O. Spence and E. W. Kneen, 3 years. 
 
 Music Committee— L. H. Bigelow, E. W. Kneen and Mrs. T. E. Street. 
 
 Ushers— R. F. Cook, W. W. Jepson, F. L. Raab and E. L. Barton. 
 
 Up to December 20, 1895, we have added thirty-two more members, 
 making one hundred and fifty in all, and have lost three by death and 
 three by letter. 
 
 Our debt has been entirely paid and all running expenses met, so that 
 we have courage to plan larger things for the future. 
 
 Our Sunday-school has increased in numbers and every department of 
 work has become strong. 
 
 In the latter part of October, 1895, President Ballantine of Oberlin 
 wrote the pastor that he had an Italian student preparing for the minis- 
 try, who had had three years' experience in working as a missionary 
 among his countrymen, and asking if there was not work he could 
 do among the Italians of Lake View. After some correspondence. 
 Miss Florence Cozad invited the young man to come and see what could 
 be done, so Mr. Giuseppe V. Zottarelli came November 9, and the 
 next day visited among the Italians, was warmly greeted and held reli- 
 gious service in our church that evening with eleven men. The next Satur- 
 day night he began a school to teach English and Italian, and held 
 another service in the church next day. Again he came down November 
 23 and had the night school, and his third service was attended by over 
 sixty Italians. He speaks in Italian, and they like him. 
 
 The Christian Endeavor societies of Lake View, Euclid Avenue, Mad- 
 ison Avenue, Park, Trinity, Hough Avenue and Olivet churches are united 
 in helping to support this work. 
 
 Our City Missionary Society has consented to receive and pay out all 
 money contributed for this special cause, so that all who are inter- 
 ested may send direct to J. W. Moore, 511 Society for Savings. 
 
 This work necessitates more room in the Lake View church, which 
 will be raised and a basement finished for the special accommodation of 
 the Italian school and the growing needs of the Lake View congregation.

LORAIN STREET MISSION. 
 
 ^lif^HE LORAIN STREET MISSION of the Congregational City Mis- 
 y I Y sionary Society began with a Sunday-school, held in lune, 1893, 
 under the direction of Rev. ]. H. Hull of Grace Church and Rev. H. 
 0. Allen of Franklin Avenue Church. Mr. lohn G. Simon of Grace Church 
 has been superintendent from the first, and has been assisted by mem- 
 bers of Grace and Franklin Avenue churches. Since March, 1894, regu- 
 lar Sunday evening preaching services have been held, conducted for the 
 first year by Rev. Irving W. Metcalf, superintendent of the Congrega- 
 tional City Missionary Society, and later by Mr. Charles H. Powell and 
 Mr. Mark L. Thomsen, students from Oberlin. Rev. Rufus Apthorp was 
 engaged by the City Missionary Society to take charge of the work as 
 pastor, beginning December 1, 1895. Services have been thus far held in 
 a stone building formerly used as a saloon, and both the Sunday-school 
 and the Sunday evening services have become so large as to make 
 a commodious chapel one of the necessities of the near future. 
 
CYRIL CHAPEL (BOHEMIAN MISSION). 
 
 I^'HE CYRIL MISSION originated properly with the erection of Cyril 
 1 7 Chapel in the year 1887. Previous to this time Bohemian preach- 
 ing services were held in a little German church on Train street, and 
 in private houses in the centre of the Bohemian settlement. The work 
 
 
 CYRIL CHAPEL. 
 
 has been done almost exclusively by Rev. Dr. H. A. Schauffler. As the 
 field is very extensive and the work seemed to be promising, steps were 
 taken to build a chapel. Through the kind assistance of Christian 
 friends and the Congregational Building Society, the chapel was erected, 
 and dedicated in the summer of 1887. The chapel is situated on Selden 
 avenue, near Clark avenue. It has a seating capacity of 220, and is 
 
212 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 valued, including lot, at $3,4-00, and owned by the Bohemian Board 
 of Cleveland. 
 
 From 1887 to 1888 the preaching has been supplied by Rev. Dr. H, 
 A. Schauffler, and by the students of the Oberlin Slavic Department. In 
 1888, Mr. Edmund Wrbitzky, who prepared himself for the ministry of 
 the gospel in Switzerland, and subsequently spent one year in the Oberlin 
 Slavic Department, was ordained pastor of Cyril Chapel. In 1890 a 
 
 REV. JOHN MUSIL. 
 
 church was organized with thirty-three members. A year later. Rev. Mr. 
 Wrbitzky was called to St. Louis, Mo., and Rev. John Musil, the present 
 pastor, became his successor. A Christian Endeavor Society was organ- 
 ized in 1893, with a membership of eighteen. The work is advancing 
 slowly, but steadily. Soon after the organization of the Church, three 
 members moved away. Subsequently two were removed by death, and 
 three by discipline. Another member moved away last year. Sixteen new 
 
CYRIL CHAPEL MISSION. 
 
 213 
 
 members were added, which makes a 
 total membership of forty. The aver- 
 age attendance at the services is 60. 
 
 The Sunday-school has an enroll- 
 ment of 190. It has been superin- 
 tended by Mr. John Singleton from 
 1887 to 1888. and by Mr. and Mrs. 
 Stephen Laird from 1888 to 1894. 
 
 In this year Mr. Laird was called 
 to his reward, after a painful sickness, 
 and Mr. J. S. Broughton, the present 
 superintendent, became his successor. 
 
 The mission is doing a good 
 work. The work is growing slowly 
 but steadily ; its main hope is in the 
 younger generation. The field is 
 promising and the outlook encourag- 
 ing. 
 
 John H. Broughton is superin- 
 tendent of Cyril Sunday-school. The 
 statistics of attendance for the last 
 missionary year are as follows : Bo- 
 hemian morning service, average 
 attendance, 50; Bohemian Sunday 
 evening service, 16; Sunday-school, 116; C. E. meeting, 27; prayer- 
 meeting, Thursday evening, 18; children's meetings, 15 ; cottage meet- 
 ings, 16 ; total average attendance at all meetings, 258.

MIZPAH CHAPEL. 
 
 pN May, 1893, Mizpah Chapel, on Ackley avenue near Fleet street, was 
 ^ dedicated. The chapel, situated between our largest Polish and a 
 new and growing Bohemian colony, was built chiefly as the center of 
 Polish missionary work, but also for Bohemian and general Sunday- 
 school work. It is our polyglot chapel, in which four languages — Polish, 
 Bohemian, English and German — are constantly used.

 MIZTAII ClIAl'EL. 
 
 f!?'Tn September of 1888, Miss Ella Hobart entered the service of our 
 National Home Missionary Society as a missionary to Poles. Early in 
 1890, Mr. J. J. Dessup was appointed by the same society as missionary 
 to the Poles in Cleveland. He held Polish services in his own house till 
 Mizpah Chapel was built. Now he preaches every Sunday a. m. in Ger- 
 man, with special reference to German-speaking Poles ; the 2 p. m. Sun- 
 day-school is conducted in English, with Bohemian classes, and is 
 well attended. Mr. Archibald Lewis is superintendent. Then follows a 
 Polish service, and during the winter a Bohemian service is held in

 ducts a Girl's Club on Wednesday 
 evening and a Sewing school on Sat-

 found Women's meetings an ex- 
 cellent means of drawing in Bohem- 
 ian women who have never heard of 
 a free gospel before. The average 
 weekly attendance was last year : 
 German service, 18; Polish, 13; Bo- 
 hemian, 48 ; Women's meetings, 29; 
 Sunday-school, 180. November 20,

 the singing was in four. 
 K "' In the four Cleveland Bohem- 
 ian (not including the Polish work, 
 which is not under the Bohemian 
 Board) stations there were held 
 during the last missionary year a 
 weekly average of six preaching 
 services; four Sunday-school ses- 
 sions, and nineteen other meetings, 
 with total average weekly attend- 
 ance of 1,781 ; contributions to 
 missions were $193.10 ; number of 
 pastoral and missionary visits 
 made, 5,295.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. COLLINWOOD, OHIO. 
 
 ^HIS church is an outgrowth of the Free Congregational Church of 
 Collamer (now East Cleveland) and was organized May 11, 
 1876, at which time the Rev. Charles W. Torey, pastor of the 
 Congregational Church of Collamer, was chosen moderator, and Rev. 
 O. D. Fisher, scribe. The name of the Church was called the First Con- 
 gregational Church of Collin wood, with eighteen members composing 
 
 COLLINWOOD CHURCH. 
 
 it. May 17, deacons of the Church were elected, and June 11, the first 
 Communion was held, at which time further additions were made to the 
 Church. August 11, of the same year, the first set of oflScers were elected. 
 The Church has continued prosperous and all its meetings harmonious. 
 
 DEDICATION OF FORD CHAPEL. 
 
 The original house of worship of this Church was called Ford Chapel, 
 in honor of Horatio Ford, a liberal donor to its erection. It was formally 
 dedicated to the worship of God on March 14, 1878. 
 
COLLINWOOD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 217 
 
 The services were conducted by the Rev. Charles Terry Collins and 
 Rev. Samuel Walcott of Cleveland, both now deceased. Here this church 
 has dwelt for a period of eighteen years, receiving additions from time 
 to time until of necessity it was compelled to remove to a more desirable 
 location and to build a larger and more commodious house of worship. 
 The efforts of the Church have been blessed by the aid of its different pas- 
 tors and the untiring efforts of its deacons and officers, until to-day it 
 stands without a peer for usefulness and influence in the community in 
 which it is located. 
 
 Its chosen pastors have been five in number. 
 
 First. Rev. J. W. Turner, who served at the beginning and continued 
 until December 10, 1876, when he resigned the charge. 
 
 Second. Rev. C. E. Ruddick was called to be pastor on September 
 
 20, 1877, and continued until September 20, 1879, when he requested 
 dismission, which was acceded to. 
 
 Third. April 29, 1880, the Church unanimously voted a call to Rev. 
 C. L. Hamlen. which was accepted, and heconducted a successful pastor- 
 ate until April 29, 1888, when he tendered his resignation, and same was 
 accepted. 
 
 Fourth. June 4, 1888, the Church voted a call to Rev. Geo. Wilson, 
 and he became its pastor, and remained until January 4, 1891, when he 
 resigned to accept a call to Clyde, Ohio. 
 
 Fifth. July 16, 1891, the Church presented a call to Rev. O.Jenkins 
 to become its pastor, which was accepted, and he immediately entered 
 upon his duties, and has so continued until this date. 
 
 The completion of the present edifice is due to the untiring efforts of 
 the architect, Mr. W. W. Sabin of Cleveland, the faithfulness and vig- 
 ilance of the building committee and the sympathy and benevolence of a 
 majority of the population of the village. The ground for this building 
 was broken September 11, 1893. The corner-stone was laid October 
 
 21, 1893. Seating capacity, 600. 
 
 On Thursday evening, September 26, 1895, the congregation enjoyed 
 for the first time a service in the new church ; the auditorium was filled 
 with a crowd which seemed to enjoy to the utmost the novelty and satis- 
 faction of getting into the new building. Flowers and plants made the 
 pulpit a bower of beauty. Special music by the choir and a solo by A. 
 W. Cogswell also added to the service. 
 
 The Rev. J. L. Davies of Akron had charge of the service, and took 
 for his text: "Which is the Church of the l-iving God, the Pillar and 
 Ground of the Truth" — 1st Timothy, 3-15. His sermon was well deliv- 
 ered and greatly enjoyed by those present. 
 
 At the close of the service a general handshaking ensued, while the 
 people were inspecting the rooms, which are excellently fitted for the 
 work, having a large main room and class rooms, thus lurnishing accom- 
 modation for between six hundred and seven hundred people, and it is 
 safe to say that the congregation of the First Congregational Church 
 will long remember the first services in the new building.

 the sermon. Mr. }. F. Isham of Cleveland sang. Sunda}' alternoon at 
 2:30 a Bible-school service was held; Captain H. T. Fisher, Rev. L. L. 
 Taylor, C. H. Ford, of Cleveland, spoke. Sunda}' evening, Rev. D. L. Leon- 
 ard, D.D., of Cleveland, preached ; Geo. A. Clark sang. Monday evening

 REV. O. JENKINS. 
 
 Mr. J. E. Cheesman, Rev. C.W.Carroll and Rev. C. S. Mills of Cleveland. 
 Tuesday evening was the most interesting service of the whole series. 
 It was interdenominational in its character. Six denominations were 
 represented by as many speakers from the city. 
 
 This is an excellent portrait of Rev. O. Jenkins, pastor of the Church. 
 Rev. Jenkins^is a self-made man, having worked on a farm until the age 
 
COLLINWOOD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 219 
 
 of twenty, when he entered the West Win field Academy, in Herkimer 
 county, New York, for a preparatory course in his chosen profession. 
 In the year 1876 he graduated from Oberlin Seminary and spent tlie 
 first nine years of his ministerial life in St. Lawrence county, New York. 
 Returning to Ohio in 1887, he conducted a very successful pastorate at 
 Dover, this county, for four years In response to a call, he came to 
 Collinwood five years ago, and found a small and well-nigh discouraged 
 congregation. The people quickly' rallied at the appearance of the new 
 pastor and the vacant seats in the church were soon filled at every 
 service. From that time on but few Communion Sabbaths have passed 
 without accessions. Two years ago last spring, 55 new members united 
 with the Church at one time, adding material strength to the work. 
 Frequent subsequent additions so greatly encouraged the pastor and 
 congregation that a new and more commodious house of worship was 
 talked of and then acted upon, and the handsome new edifice is a lasting 
 monument to the works of God, and the faith and energy of the pastor 
 and his flock.

WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY. 
 
 /^^ ONGREGATIONALISTS may well take pride in this institution, for 
 ^^^^ not Ouly is its present honored President eminent in our denom- 
 — ination, but the founders of the college were trained in our polity 
 and imbibed their thirst for a learned ministry amid the descendants of 
 the Puritan and Pilgrim. 
 
 Although the state was not fairly open to settlement until 1795, and 
 by 1800 there were scarcely filteen hundred people scattered among the 
 unbroken forests of the Reserve, still we find a Congregational minister. 
 Rev. Joseph Badger, presenting a petition in 1801 to the "General 
 Assembly of the Territory of the United States Northwest of the River 
 Ohio," asking for a charter i'or a college "to be situated within the 
 limits of the Reserve." 
 
 It was easy to enlist the men from Connecticut in the purpose to 
 plant a new Yale in the new Connecticut, but their ambition was checked, 
 for the petition was denied. 
 
 But the sons of Yale kept coming to this wilderness and reinforced 
 Mr. Badger's petition; formed the Erie Literary Society; and applied for 
 a charter again in 1803, as soon as Ohio was admitted to the Union 
 and assembled her first legislature. 
 
 The names of the incorporators of Burton Academy include the lead- 
 ing Congregational settlers, beginning with Esquire Hudson and closing 
 with Joseph Badger. The longing for an educated ministry that led 
 Connecticut pastors to start Yale college and Massachusetts ministers to 
 start Harvard college prompted those Reserve laymen and missionaries 
 to keep the question under constant agitation for thirty years, until they 
 saw the walls of the buildings at Hudson sheltering the first theological 
 class, and the Rev. Charles B. Storrs, a Congregational pastor, in 
 his place as its first president. 
 
 There is no need to tell one who remembers the old Yale campus that 
 the Hudson college was planned entirely on that model, and that her 
 loyal sons must have had a controlling voice in all the development 
 of Western Reserve college. For thirty years after the first Commence- 
 ment, the president and a majority of the faculty were men who had been 
 trained under the Congregational polity, either of Massachusetts or Con- 
 necticut. Mau}^ of the alumni have given long and eminent service in 
 the pulpits of our denomination. 
 
 The rapid development of the University idea and the solid growth in 
 all departments under President Thwing have not failed to awaken 
 a pardonable pride in the university among all our churches. 
 
224 
 
 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 The denomination that opened the first Collegiate school for women 
 at Mount Holyoke, Massachusetts, and encourages three such institu- 
 tions as Mount Holyoke, Smith and Wellesley colleges in one state, is sure 
 to support the College for Women, which has already won a high place for 
 itself as a department of our university. 
 
 WOMAN S COLLEGE. 
 
 Thus, among the Congregational forces at work in this city, we feel 
 justified in claiming both the personality of President Thwing, of indi- 
 vidual members of the faculty, and the accumulated power of that strong 
 university which has grown from the persevering ambition and sacrifices 
 of those pioneers who came from the training of Congregational homes 
 and standards.

OUR POLITY. 
 
 From Advance Almanac 1895. 
 
 ij^^ONGREGATIONALISM is neither an experiment nor a spent force^ 
 \^^^ It is a living fact and a polity to be preached everywhere that the 
 gospel is heard. Its adherents believe in the nev^' birth, and then 
 in the fruits of righteousness. They preach repentance toward God, and 
 faith in His divine Son, Jesus Christ. 
 
 A Congregational church is a Union church, associated with other 
 Union churches. It is an Independent church, co-operating with other 
 Independent churches. It is a Kingdom within itself, acknowledging only 
 Christ as Master and Lord. It has just as many bishops as pastors. 
 It recognizes no ecclesiastical government higher than that of the local 
 church. It does not believe that Jesus Christ had a court on earth, either 
 in Synod or General Assembly. It believes that there is safety in a miil-_ 
 titude of counsellors. It believes in co-operation. It is one of the great 
 est missionary forces; its members give more per capita to the spread o 
 home and foreign missions than any otherpeople in the world. It is older 
 than any other denomination. The Christian Church was first Congre- 
 gational, then Presbyterian, then Episcopal and then Papal. Congre- 
 gationalism goes back to the beginning. It is not a reformation only, it 
 is a restoration. 
 
 It has a history of which it is not ashamed. Since 1580 the nations 
 of the earth have felt its power in their aifairs. It inspired the Pilgrims 
 and the Puritans. It gave the common school system to this country. 
 It founded Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Williams, Bowdoin and Am- 
 herst colleges in New England, and Oberlin, Olivet, Illinois, Beloit, Ripon^ 
 Iowa, Drury, Doane, Carleton, Washburn, Yankton, Whitman and many 
 others throughout the West. 
 
 It has given to theological education, Andover, Bangor, Yale, Oberlin, 
 Chicago and Pacific Theological seminaries. It gave the first missionary 
 to the Indians, John Eliot, in IB^G. It sent Samuel J. Mills westward in 
 1808, before the Methodists and Presbyterians had tl ought of such work. 
 It founded the American Board, the Colonization Society, the American 
 Home Missionary Society, the American Missionary Association and the 
 modern city missionarj'^ society, and was one of the chief factors in the 
 organization of the Sunday-school Union and the Bible Society. It has 
 given the world a Jonathan Edwards, a Hopkins, a Dwight, a Finney, 
 a Joseph Cook and a Dwight L. Moody. 
 
 It is an ecclesiastical solvent among the other denominations. It is. 
 the solution, and the only solution, of thechurch union movement among^ 
 the Christians who are tired of warring sects. It is a common denomi-^ 
 
226 CLEVELAND CONGREGATIONALISTS. 
 
 nator. It is not anchored to the past. It receives the Bible as the Word 
 of God, recognizing the fact that its depth is not fathomed, nor its 
 breadth measured, nor its height reached^ but holding that there is more 
 light to break forth from it. It has a quick ear, a keen vision, and a 
 ready hand for all good work; The doctrines on which all evan- 
 gelical denominations are agreed are the ones on which Congregational- 
 ism insists. For the things about which they differ it cares not at all. 
 It is looking upward and forward, with "the past unsighed for, and the 
 future sure." 
 
 CONGREGATIONAL PRINCIPLES. 
 
 The following are Congregational principles of church government 
 as formulated in the report of the Committee on Manual to the National 
 Council. 
 
 1. The Church Universal. — The visible church universal is composed 
 of those who, believing themselves to be born of the Spirit, publicly con- 
 fessed their faith in Christ as their Saviour and Lord. All Christians 
 being equally related to the Head of the Church, are equal in all rights 
 and privileges, and should be in communion with one another. 
 
 2. The Seat of Church Power. — Neither is a single universal church 
 government claiming authority, nor one which is national, provincial, 
 diocesan or synodical, warranted by the Word of God; but only local 
 congregations (/. e., churches) of believers. These particular churches 
 have ail needful power of self government under Christ, but are to be in 
 recognized communion and co-operation with each other; including all 
 evangelical churches of whatever name, w^hich will accept such a fellow- 
 ship. 
 
 3. The Local Church. — Those believers who dwell together in one 
 place become a church by their recognition of each other, and their mu- 
 tual agreement to observe Christ's ordinances in one society. (Platform 
 of 1865.) 
 
 4. The fellowship of the Church. — But inasmuch as all evangelical 
 churches should be in communion one with another, they should extend 
 to each other the formal recognition of that fellowship, and manifest it 
 by assisting each other with advice and necessary help, by consulting 
 together in all matters of common concern, and by co-operating in work 
 for the advancement of Christ's kingdom. 
 
 5. The Christian Ministry. — Men who in the judgment of the 
 churches are called of God to the ministry of the Word, are by these to be 
 set apart to that service with prayer and laying on of hands. The apos- 
 tolic injunction, "Lay hands suddenly on no man," requires that due 
 
 xamination be first made as to natural gifts, education, knowledge of 
 the Scriptures, Christian experience, and the Divine call to preach the 
 Word. Nor is any man to be regarded as retaining fellowship as an 
 ordained minister unless he remain in orderly connection with some body 
 of churches capable of certifying their continued approval. 
 
OUR POLITY. 227 
 
 OUR INFLUENCE. 
 
 To the Episcopalians we gave Phillips Brooks, descended through a 
 long line of Congregational ministers, beginning with that strongest Con- 
 gregationalist of all Puritans, Rev. Geo. Phillips. 
 
 Princeton College was planted largely by New England men and 
 money, with a Congregationalist for one of the early presidents— Jona- 
 than Edwards. 
 
 To the Presbyterians we have given many hundreds of churches or- 
 ganized by Congregation alists. 
 
 Baptists in America began with Roger Williams, a Congregational 
 minister at Salem and Plymouth, Mass., who went to Rhode Island 
 in 1636. 
 
 Unitarians made the first open departure from the Congregational 
 Church in 1815. 
 
 We lead in comity among the denominations in the United States, in 
 efforts for union and federation over the world. 
 
 The Evangelical Alliance : Rev. Wm. Patton, D.D., when a Congre- 
 gational pastor, first conceived the idea of a World's Evangelical Alli- 
 ance, and was helped in it by Rev. John Angell James, a Congregational 
 pastor of England. All the secretaries of the United States Evangelical 
 Alliance have been Congregational ministers. 
 
 Qity Missions : We are doing the principal city mission work in Bos- 
 ton, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis and in most of the cities which have 
 a City Missionary Society. 
 
 Sunday-school Study: The Peloubet Lesson Series by F. N. Peloubet, 
 D.D., circulation 1,575,000; Peloubet Sunday-school papers, circulation, 
 2,600,000; Peloubefs Select Notes, circulation, 75,000. The Blakeslee 
 graded lesson series for Sunday-school and Bible classes began January, 
 1891. Circulation January 1, 1893, was 150,000. Translated into eight 
 languages. 
 
 Christian Endeavor Society : The Y. P. S. C E. originated with F. 
 E. Clark, D. D., when he was pastor of the Williston Congregational 
 Church, Portland, Me. 
 
 The Swedish Mission Christians, seceding from the State church, 
 invented from the Bible a polity and doctrine exactly Congregational, 
 in 1878. 
 
 A Methodist body in Georgia did the same, and are now Congrega- 
 tionalists.
